Reality Revelations

Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ in people's lives.

It’s in the lap of the gods.

It was not until I undertook to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in my community did I learn of the high price one pays for their ignorance of it, or in fact, for one’s rejection of it.  Having discovered the reality of this biblical truth first in my own life, I continued to learn it as I involved myself in the lives of others.  I learned by experience and observation that if read more..

The greatest loss of all.

Just before He ascended into heaven, Jesus told his people that soon they were going to receive a power from God the Holy Spirit which would enable them to spread His message not only locally, but right around the world.  He was not speaking about a power that could be developed by human strategies, He was speaking read more..

God is not looking for good people.

Posted by Roger Williams has blogged 69

One of the most glaring misconceptions about Christianity that I observed among church-goers, non-church-goers and unbelieving people alike, was their preoccupation with the thought that it required them to be “good” people.  Spoken or unspoken, many people conveyed the message that they could never attain the perceived read more..

How else does one describe a church-goer who….?

Posted by Roger Williams has blogged 69

The day I took a stand to reject the “religious” Jesus Christ of my imagination and embrace the biblical Lord Jesus Christ of truth, is the day I knew I would come under much sniggering, mockery, insults and abuse from unbelieving people, but I was not expecting the same from people who claimed to be Christian.  The venom spewed read more..

Whether they were church-goers or not, every so often on the streets I was asked, “What does ‘born again’ mean?”  Thanks to the Internet today there are some wonderful, in-depth, theological answers to the question, but for the purposes of this post, it literally means to be “born from above by the Spirit of God.”  In other words, a spiritual transformation takes read more..

I learned to be on the alert for, “But…..”

Jesus tells us in the gospel of Matthew that heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate.  He says that the highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for multitudes to choose its easy way.  I witnessed the confirmation of that truth numerous times every day when I was out there on those streets as a public gospel messenger.  Life was a mini read more..

Where did that come from?

Posted by Roger Williams has blogged 69

One of the most common “mantras” I’ve discovered in society is, “If God is so all-loving and all-powerful, why does He allow war, suffering, starvation etc etc?”  Many people who asked me this on the streets did not want my biblical answer, they used it only to justify their own position or stand in life.  Even if they worked hard at read more..

That’s rubbish!

Posted by Roger Williams has blogged 69

There was a time when I used to say that it didn’t matter what one believed in life.  If someone believed this, that, or something to be true or the truth, well then that’s the way it is for them – truth.  When it came to all the various religions and their practitioners in the world, plus the different philosophies, my thoughts were pretty much the same.  In other words – believe whatever you want to believe - who read more..

Untested teachings and opinions.

The old lady stood in her doorway hunched over her walking stick as she spoke with me.  In her eighties, she told me that she used to go to church but had now ceased the practice due to ill health.  She had a number of illnesses, but asthma was the one most evident.  As I spoke with her it became clear to me that I was standing face to face with a religious lady in spiritual and mental slavery – the exact read more..

It runs in the family.

Posted by Roger Williams has blogged 69

It was not uncommon for me to encounter one family who were plagued by violence, depression, alcohol or drug abuse.  Usually the problem arose because of the habits of one member.  Rich or poor, young or old, male or female, educated or uneducated, it made no difference - the effects upon that family were extremely disturbing for them at the least and devastating for them at the most.  When read more..
