Followers (Of Christ),
We do spend a great deal of time in Revelations in this Ministry. Then again, Revelations is for our/your time and age on this planet making your "stand" and called purpose against darkness and evil, and to avail from within you all that Christ has freely given. Revelations is real talk, and speaks somewhat directly to us/you. Speaking of speaking, it also speaks to us about speaking in testimony of Christ, ....and for many, it is something "to die for" in giving testimony of Christ and for some going on right now in other parts of the world, are literally losing their/your head for. You can even audition for that possible role with us (testimony of Christ part, not losing your head part), by contacting us to share your testimony about Jesus Christ and your faith. No, you wont lose your head with us and die. At least not yet, and not with us.
"And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand" (Revelation 20:4). Realize, this may be talking about you in the near future, so you sort of need to think about whether you will be getting the Mark Of The Beast, or willing to die in testimony of Jesus Christ.
How Will You Perform In Faith And Testimony For Christ Under Pressure and Unplanned When And Where Least Expected In The Future World Orders?
Peter denied Jesus 3 times before the crow finished crowing exactly as Jesus said Peter would and found at John 18:27
Is it enough in the future to simply not deny, maybe be like the guy pictured above and hope to slide on by trying to keep your faith held inside like it is too "personal" to even share? In several countries of the world, people are being imprisoned and put to death even just for others "finding out" a person is a follower of Christ when they needed to "hide" it. Waves of persecution in some middle east countries resulting in death by beheading is alarming in numbers. In this country, as people "fall away" from Christ and harden, you can be imprisoned too...just under different ruses and pretext designed to discredit you with false or fraudulent charges and mental health smear tactics from corrupt officials in power. Or you can be ostracized in social media or by others who think or try to find ways to say Jesus Christ never existed, is a fantasy, fraud and fake, ...just fairy tales and fables. It goes on in this country too at times, just because you don't see reports of heads being chopped off, doesn't mean it is not just as real. We even have oppositions and people working against us right here locally where we are. The attack on faith in Christ may be on the increase in the world. Just not here with us, we resist, and keep going in the opposite direction of the falling kingdoms and stand firm in the faith...and, invite you to do the same with us as we find ways to help our fellow human.
We are actually not trying to be too humorous with the pictures we share. The likelihood of the above kind of situation happening to you to screen and scrutinize for Christians/Followers of Christ may seem pretty slim or unlikely today or next few months or even many years. At least that is what we are hoping too. And if it happens here in this country someday, we like you, hope it is a long ways off. Yet, if you were in a bad predicament like pictured above .....would you have the courage to not deny being a follower of Christ...no matter what could happen? Peter denied, then saw his sin in doing so....and yet, he is now an inspiration to many to resist apostasy and stand firm in Christ. Decide if you will deny Christ, or be as one "who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. " (Revelation 1:2), even if they are people who have power to kill you if you do not deny Christ?
If you are thinking you might be scared, strengthen up. Start finding ways to testify of Christ, seek out those opportunities. You can start right here, with us even, being a contributory article writer in these blogs and being a guest speaker on the podcasting shows. Share your testimony of Jesus Christ, your beliefs in him, or a miracle you might have experienced through Christ. Ever wonder what its like to be in Ministry sharing about Christ? Tired of seeing too many males in Ministry and not enough females sharing? This is your chance.
Still, many of you might feel intimidated from doing so...also knowing the same Book of Revelations says in Revelations 12:17 " 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.". It is debatable to some, yet we believe the Book of Revelations had two meanings about the phrase "the testimony of Jesus Christ" that appears 4 times in Revelations ....as being literally, Jesus Christ testimony by him in his words in Revelations, his own testimony by himself, as opposed to your and my testimony per se. Yet, we also believe the context is not just that simple, and imputes to being testimony from you as well for that phrase, and other phrases in the BOR because of Revelations 20:4 above cited clearly shows personal context of those being killed and beheaded for testimony they give refusing to deny Christ. Yet...for most of you in America....that is still potentially many, many years away. We do however think, your own personal "dragons" are not red like in BOR, but just the common variety of dragons you fight are within inside of you on most days as you grow in Christ....
The Thing About Giving Testimonials of Christ, Is It Is Terrifying, And I Feel Naked Like Everyone Is Staring At Me, Will My Testimony Be Good Enough? What If I Bomb Out and People Laugh?
If you fear, or feel like the above picture...don't worry, weak and insecure people laugh at us all the time, try to find our faults...and if they don't, will make things up and accuse faults against us anyways. It is not escapable that others will seek to criticize or attack. Those are the ones are hardened against Christ and you just smile, and keep testifying. We even lose friends sometimes for our sharing....yet, no one has died from it. It improves our courage, strength, focus on Christ even more, and we get more peace, more insights and find that God helps us and keeps us going strong and makes us determined to go even further along. Remember,...it is not about "you", or even "us", it is about Jesus Christ, and his Kingdom of Heaven here and coming more so in the future...and this is something so big, that no matter how bad things get in the world and other kingdoms...every single person on this planet ultimately is going to confess Jesus Christ is Lord. Fact is, many of you actually want to share your testimony, as Daniel 4:2 "I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me."
Another way of looking at it, is Ministry efforts to share Jesus Christ to the whole world, is a team effort of all followers of Christ, and by you sharing with us and through us, we are increasing that reach and teamwork. We believe we are at a phase of time in the BOR, that we must share and minister within the windows of opportunity to do so. Major shifts and challenges are coming throughout the globe, and the time to start ministering is now and the years ahead more than ever.
Fact is, we as followers of Christ are even commanded to share our witness and faith, even amongst each other, to help assist and uplift one another. Think of all those who can not attend a church, or who are in other regions and countries, yet who appreciate hearing other fellow followers of Christ share the faith...it inspires. If for no other reasons, consider the times you were uplifted by others sharing, and consider helping others with words you might feel inspired to say. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 "Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.". Despite being operational to start with in Fremont County and Custer County Colorado, we have readers all over the world...and some of them are influenced by the words we share, and that means to include you. There are followers in Russia, Poland, Germany, Canada, France, Brazil, Peru, Mexico...and they love hearing of our faith and testimony.
What we want you to consider, is start thinking about short blog articles you might wish to share with others about you and your faith, inspirations, miracles, favorite bible versus you like to share. Your contributions can be anywhere from a paragraph, to several paragraphs, in the range of about 950 words or less if possible. You can have us find graphics for you or assist you in formatting, or you can supply (with copyright license or source information). Just send text to use in our web-page contact section (https://www.mountainmajestyministries.com/) along with an e-mail address we can reply to you at (we do not give that out to others), and if selected, we can take it from there. We request it be at least 3 Bible verse citations, KJV, and as non-denominational as possible in that we want focus to our relations with Christ. You can use your name and city if you want, or you can be anonymous. Then, we also want you to also think about possibly being on our podcast show to be interviewed about your article or statements of faiths and miracles in life you have experienced. Be looking to our web-page for the "contact" section to send us a e-mail or contact means if your wish to participate or have questions. We also will post on the web page soon as well how to participate.
The podcasting shows are still being developed, and not too much longer....stay with us, as it is going to be exciting and fun, and steps up and beyond from most other Ministries and churches.
Just remember, sharing about Christ and ones faith is what God wants of us...Matthew 10:32 KJV
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven".
Be thinking what articles you would like to write, and let us hear from you, contact us with your ideas or request...and you are well on your way to testifying that can impact and inspire many just for being who you are, and honesty share about Jesus Christ. As you do, also realize, others in the globe already are being killed for their faith, and your testimony is to die for those who need to hear from you...
Blessings,
MMM

| "Uh....er, I'm sorry Sir, my name is Peter, were you asking me if I have the mark of the beast yet? Uhhh well my ex-wife just bought some crypto-currencies, and her I-phone has a smart chip in it, that way I don't need one in my own right hand or forehead right? I can comply vicariously through her right? And if I am 'follower of Christ?' Uhhhh, ok, what are my other options of questions I can answer instead....you trying to accuse me of being a follower of Jesus Christ, whats this about? I want my U.N. approved lawyer present during any further questions, thank you, am I free to go? No?" (*1) |

| "It is just that I feel naked, like others are staring at me if I talk about Christ, my faith, sharing Jesus Christ...I thought that was all supposed to be personal and private as "faith" held inside and not let out? I don't know If I am really up to this, I'm not really a preacher type, a writer, a blogger, or a radio show podcasting superstar...what would I even say? People might ridicule me, laugh, find fault in me, disagree with something I say. Are you sure, you really want me to share about faith in Christ and miracles I have experienced?" (*2) |
