Without Prayer, there is no Christian life..Period!..Can you imagine Christians not praying? That would be a definition of a Non - Christian..What a teaching I love ❤️..I wish we would entirely understand how imperative is prayer in our lives
God owns all things and our relationship with him gives us faith and security that not only will he bless us with spiritual things in Christ, heavenly places and treasures in darkness, but our physical, monetarial needs when we walk in covenant with him. It doesn't insult God for us to have faith for increase in our substance.
GOD be God in us, In Jesus The Christ we 🙏 pray manifest your Holy Character in us inThe Name of The Lord Jesus. HOLY Spirit has come! we are One as we release The Love asTHEHoly SPIRIT gives us the utterance in revealing speaking The word in Faith. Thirst no more Reserection Power drink of His Cup running over like rivers of living water❤ Amen
Do Baha'is Believe in Jesus? Yes! Of course Baha'is Believe in Jesus Do Baha'is Believe in Jesus ? "For the Faith of Baha'u'llah - if we would faithfully appraise it - can never, and in no aspect of its teachings, be at variance, much less conflict, with the purpose animating, or the authority invested in, the Faith of Jesus Christ... ...This glowing tribute which Baha'u'llah Himself has been moved to pay to the Author of the Christian Religion stands as sufficient testimony to the truth of this central principle of Baha'i belief..." -Shoghi Effendi "As to the position of Christianity, let it be stated without any hesitation or equivocation that its divine origin is unconditionally acknowledged, that the Sonship and Divinity of Jesus Christ are fearlessly asserted, that the divine inspiration of the Gospel is fully recognized... ...that the reality of the mystery of the Immaculacy of the Virgin Mary is confessed, and the primacy of Peter, the Prince of the Apostles, is upheld and defended. The Founder of the Christian Faith is designated by Baha'u'llah as the "Spirit of God," is proclaimed as the One Who "appeared out of the breath of the Holy Ghost," and is even extolled as the "Essence of the Spirit." His mother is described as "that veiled and immortal, that most beauteous, countenance," and the station of her Son eulogized as a "station which hath been exalted above the imaginings of all that dwell on earth," whilst Peter is recognized as one whom God has caused "the mysteries of wisdom and of utterance to flow out of his mouth." "Know thou," Baha'u'llah has moreover testified, "that when the Son of Man yielded up His breath to God, the whole creation wept with a great weeping. By sacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused into all created things... ...Its evidences, as witnessed in all the peoples of the earth, are now manifest before thee. The deepest wisdom which the sages have uttered, the profoundest learning which any mind hath unfolded, the arts which the ablest hands have produced, the influence exerted by the most potent of rulers, are but manifestations of the quickening power released by His transcendent, His all-pervasive and resplendent Spirit. We testify that when He came into the world, He shed the splendor of His glory upon all created things. Through Him the leper recovered from the leprosy of perversity and ignorance. Through Him the unchaste and wayward were healed. Through His power, born of Almighty God, the eyes of the blind were opened and the soul of the sinner sanctified.... He it is Who purified the world. Blessed is the man who, with a face beaming with light, hath turned towards Him." Indeed, the essential prerequisites of admittance into the Baha'i fold of Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, and the followers of other ancient faiths, as well as of agnostics and even atheists, is the wholehearted and unqualified acceptance by them all of the divine origin of both Islam and Christianity, of the Prophetic functions of both Muhammad and Jesus Christ, of the legitimacy of the institution of the Imamate, and of the primacy of St. Peter, the Prince of the Apostles. Such are the central, the solid, the incontrovertible principles that constitute the bedrock of Baha'i belief, which the Faith of Baha'u'llah is proud to acknowledge, which its teachers proclaim, which its apologists defend, which its literature disseminates, which its summer schools expound, and which the rank and file of its followers attest by both word and deed." -Shoghi Effendi: The Promised Day is Come, pages 109-110
Dear Friend, In a spirit of absolute unity we would like to tell you about a stupendous event which happened in 1844AD and which fulfilled the prophesies of all religions. This was the advent of the Promised One of all ages, the coming of God's Glorious Manifestation; Baha'u'lláh- The Glory of God. The 1840s was a period of great religious fervour, with many people expecting a 'Second Coming'. Christians were awaiting the return of John the Baptist and the Spirit of Truth, Jews were awaiting the return of Elijah and the Lord of Hosts, Sunni Muslims were awaiting the coming of Mihdi (One who is guided) and the Spirit of God (Messiah), Shi'ih Muslims were awaiting the coming of the Qaim (He Who arises) and the return of Imam Husayn, Buddhists were awaiting the coming of Avalokitesvara and the 5th Buddha (Maitrya-Amitabha), the Zoroastrians were awaiting the coming of Ushidar-Mah and the Shah Bahram,Hindus were awaiting the reincarnation of Krishna in the person of Chandravashi Devapi and Raja Suryavanshi Maru (Kalki Avatar). Within the space of 20 years two Divine Beings appeared in Persia. The first was the Báb (meaning the Gate) 1819-1850AD who declared He was a manifestation of God and the Herald of a Greater Being, Baha'u'lláh (meaning the Glory of God) 1817-1892AD.During the short period of 6 years the Bab was arrested, imprisoned, and subsequently martyred in 1850AD Baha'u'lláh was also imprisoned, tortured, and later exiled to Palestine (now Israel), where he died in 1892AD. During His imprisonment and exile He wrote to all the kings and rulers of the world informing them of His mission, which was to give mankind the blueprint for a New World Order and to establish world unity through the foundation of a vastly more advanced global civilization. Over a period of 40 years, Baha'u'lláh revealed the Word of God in an uninterrupted flow which provided divine laws and guidance to enable mankind to break free from the fetters of materialistic thinking and to develop their spiritual capacities. This Baha'u'lláh asserts, will enable mankind to progress and recognise their true station as being "the leaves of one branch and fruits of one tree". The religion announced by the Báb and Baha'u'lláh is a continuation of the Word of God common to all the world's major religions, inasmuch as religion is progressive and is sent down from God from age to age according to the capacities of the people of the time. Baha'u'lláh's dispensation is the fulfillment of all past religions and has brought mankind God's message for this age. This message contains all the necessary knowledge for mankind to transcend the outdated dogma and wild imaginings and turn to the Writings of Baha'u'lláh for guidance and to the One God for spiritual assistance, that we might all learn to live in perfect harmony and bring about the promise and hope of all mankind;- God's kingdom on earth. In the last 155 years the Bahaí Faith has grown dramatically to be, as the Encyclopaedia Brittanica has listed, "the world's fastest growing independent religion and the second most widespread after Christianity". The Bahaí Faith has no priests, no hierarchy, no churches and one does not have to forgo ones belief in the former messengers of God in order to accept Baha'u'lláh. Baha'u'lláh promises that there is a glorious future for mankind and by working together we will aceive global peace and world unity. The major beliefs of the Bahaís are: The Oneness of God, The Oneness of Religion, The Oneness of Mankind,Life After Death, Independent Investigation of Truth, The Essential Harmony of Science and Religion, Extraterrestrial Life, Equality of Men and Women, Elimination of Prejudice of all kinds, Universal Compulsory Education, Spiritual Solutions to Economic Problems, A Universal Auxiliary Language, Universal Peace Upheld by a World Government. Khosro Deihim and Jim Randle
Progressive Revelation Part 1 Don't forget the Jews don't believe in or even read the New Testament and neither do they believe in Jesus. They believe that he was an impostor and are still awaiting the Messiah. They have no idea who he will be but that it will be obvious when he comes. They believe in the Old Testament which is known as the Tanakh because it contains three sections (i) the Torah (ii) the Nevi'im and (iii) the Kethuvim which has the three initials T, N & K, hence Tanakh. When Abraham said 'they have Moses and the Prophets. let them hear them' he was referring to the Jewish book 'the Tanakh' not the New Testament. Jesus' audience were Jews and Lazarus was a Jew. Remember that in those days the world was teeming millions and the Christians only a handful. Just because we all know about Jesus today it doesn't mean that the Jewish populace had any idea who Jesus was. They don't even now. Converts had to be made one heart at a time so it was a very slow process apart from the way Jesus personally taught which was infinitely superior to the way his disciples preached after he was gone. If you preached and drew a crowd most likely the mob would attack you like when Paul preached. So its taken 2,000 years to get this big but its a testimony to the greatness of Christ that there's 2 billion Christians and millions of Churches and I say that as a member of the Bahá'í Faith not Christianity although we are a multi-faith religion in a multi-faith society. Part 2 May I just add that Jesus wasn't preaching what the people already knew, his message was new and difficult to recognise for the Jews and Gentiles. The Pharisees (clergy) were teaching what the people already knew ie Judaism. Today the Persian Prophet Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892CE)is not teaching what the people already know whereas the Christian clergy are teaching what the people already know ie Christianity. Baha'i's believe that the Prophet Bahá'u'lláh is the return of Christ and he has written 100 volumes and spent 40 years in prison and exile. The Baha'i's are heavily persecuted in Iran the land of its birth. Part 3 The Father of Judaism was the Prophet Abraham (2,600 BCE approx). Later on came the Prophet Moses (1,600BCE approx) and He freed the Children of Israel from the Iron grip of the Hand of Pharaoh. Later on in the days of King David and King Solomon there was a Jewish Golden Age and Israel became a centre of great learning. Don't forget the Jews believe in the Old Testament (the Tanakh) and not the New Testament. Christianity inherited the Old Testament from the Jews. The Early Christians must have said to themselves "well Judaism is the Old Religion and Christianity is the New Religion, so we will call the Jewish book the Old Testament and the Christian book the New Testament and put it into one Book the Holy Bible." Jesus came at a time when Judaism had become old and corrupt. It was time for a new religion. Jesus sent his followers out to teach His Religion to the whole world. There was a Christian Golden Age. When Christianity came into temporal power and earthly riches it became old and corrupt so it was time for a new Prophet and a new religion so God sent Muhammad with a new religion called Islam. The Prophet Muhammad sent his followers out to teach His Religion to the whole world. Their religion grew until there was an Islamic Golden Age when they were the most advanced Nations on Earth. Eventually it became old and corrupt so it was time for a new Prophet and a new religion so God sent the Báb (the Gate) (1819-1850CE) who announced the coming of a greater One who would come after Him. The Báb announced His mission in 1844CE. He sent His followers out to teach His Religion to all mankind. In 1850CE the Báb was shot by firing squad. The One promised by the Báb was the Prophet Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892CE) who announced his mission in 1853CE. Once again He sent out His followers to teach His religion to all mankind. He wrote 100 volumes and spent 40 years in prison and exile. His successors were his eldest Son 'Abdu'l-Bahá who wrote many books and Bahá'u'lláh's Great Grandson Shoghi Effendi who wrote many volumes. In the future there will be a Baha'i Golden Age of Peace and harmony between all of the races and religions on Earth. There will be a much more advanced Global Civilization with no more war, starvation, poverty, disease or environmental disaster. Eventually the Bahá’í Faith will become old and outworn and it will be time for a new religion. A new Prophet will come and we will start over again. He will send out his followers to teach His religion to the whole world. Bahá’u’lláh predicted this new Prophet but he said that he won’t come for a thousand years. There will be a new Religion with a new Golden Age. Eventually it will become old and outworn and yet another Prophet will be born and he will start a new Religion so we will start all over again. The Prophets will keep on coming indefinitely. Jim
Shoghi Effendi, Great Grandson of The Prophet Baha'u'lláh and Guardian of The Bahaí Faith said:- The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Baha'u'lláh, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and the personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded. This commonwealth must, as far as we can visualize it, consist of a world legislature, whose members will, as the trustees of the whole of mankind, ultimately control the entire resources of all the component nations, and will enact such laws as shall be required to regulate the life, satisfy the needs and adjust the relationships of all races and peoples. A world executive, backed by an international Force, will carry out the decisions arrived at, and apply the laws enacted by, this world legislature, and will safeguard the organic unity of the whole commonwealth. A world tribunal will adjudicate and deliver its compulsory and final verdict in all and any disputes that may arise between the various elements constituting this universal system. A mechanism of world inter-communications will be devised, embracing the entire planet, freed from national hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvellous swiftness and perfect regularity. A world metropolis will act as the nerve centre of a world civilization, the focus towards which the unifying forces of life will converge and from which its energizing influences will radiate. A world language will either be invented or chosen from among the existing languages and will be taught in the schools of all the federated nations as an auxiliary to their mother tongue. A world script, a world literature, a uniform system of currency, of weights and measures, will simplify and facilitate intercourse and understanding among the nations and races of mankind. In such a world society, science and religion, the two most potent forces in human life, will be reconciled, will co-operate, and will harmoniously develop. The press will, under such a system, while giving full scope to the expression of the diversified views and convictions of mankind, cease to be mischievously manipulated by vested interests, whether private or public, and will be liberated from the influence of contending governments and peoples. The economic resources of the world will be organized, its sources of raw materials will be tapped and fully utilized, its markets will be co-ordinated and developed, and the distribution of its products will be equitably regulated. National rivalries, hatreds and intrigues will cease, and racial animosity and prejudice will be replaced by racial amity, understanding and co-operation. The causes of religious strife will be permanently removed, economic barriers and restrictions will be completely abolished, and the inordinate distinction between classes will be obliterated. Destitution on the one hand, and gross accumulation of ownership on the other, will disappear. The enormous energy dissipated and wasted on war, whether economic or political, will be consecrated to such ends as will extend the range of human inventions and technical development, to the increase of the productivity of mankind, to the extermination of disease, to the extension of scientific research, to the raising of the standard of physical health, to the sharpening and refinement of the human brain, to the exploitation of the unused and unsuspected resources of the planet, to the prolongation of human life, and the furtherance of any other agency that can stimulate the intellectual, the moral, and the spiritual life of the entire human race. A world federal system, ruling the whole earth and exercising unchallengeable authority over its unimaginably vast resources, blending and embodying the ideals of both the East and the West, liberated from the curse of war and its miseries, and bent on the exploitation of all the available sources of energy on the surface of the planet, a system in which Force is made the servant of Justice, whose life is sustained by its universal recognition of one God and by its allegiance to one common Revelation--such is the goal towards which humanity, impelled by the unifying forces of life, is moving.

Dear Friend,
In a spirit of absolute unity we would like to tell you about a stupendous event which happened in 1844AD and which fulfilled the prophesies of all religions. This was the advent of the Promised One of all ages, the coming of God's Glorious Manifestation; Baha'u'lláh- The Glory of God.

Shoghi Effendi, Great Grandson of The Prophet Baha'u'lláh and Guardian of The Bahaí Faith said:-
The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Baha'u'lláh, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and the personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded. This commonwealth must, as far as we can visualize it, consist of a world legislature, whose members will, as the trustees of the whole of mankind, ultimately control the entire resources of all the component nations, and will enact such laws as shall be required to regulate the life, satisfy the needs and adjust the relationships of all races and peoples. A world executive, backed by an international Force, will carry out the decisions arrived at, and apply the laws enacted by, this world legislature, and will safeguard the organic unity of the whole commonwealth. A world tribunal will adjudicate and deliver its compulsory and final verdict in all and any disputes that may arise between the various elements constituting this universal system. A mechanism of world inter-communications will be devised, embracing the entire planet, freed from national hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvellous swiftness and perfect regularity. A world metropolis will act as the nerve centre of a world civilization, the focus towards which the unifying forces of life will converge and from which its energizing influences will radiate. A world language will either be invented or chosen from among the existing languages and will be taught in the schools of all the federated nations as an auxiliary to their mother tongue. A world script, a world literature, a uniform system of currency, of weights and measures, will simplify and facilitate intercourse and understanding among the nations and races of mankind. In such a world society, science and religion, the two most potent forces in human life, will be reconciled, will co-operate, and will harmoniously develop. The press will, under such a system, while giving full scope to the expression of the diversified views and convictions of mankind, cease to be mischievously manipulated by vested interests, whether private or public, and will be liberated from the influence of contending governments and peoples. The economic resources of the world will be organized, its sources of raw materials will be tapped and fully utilized, its markets will be co-ordinated and developed, and the distribution of its products will be equitably regulated.
National rivalries, hatreds and intrigues will cease, and racial animosity and prejudice will be replaced by racial amity, understanding and co-operation. The causes of religious strife will be permanently removed, economic barriers and restrictions will be completely abolished, and the inordinate distinction between classes will be obliterated. Destitution on the one hand, and gross accumulation of ownership on the other, will disappear. The enormous energy dissipated and wasted on war, whether economic or political, will be consecrated to such ends as will extend the range of human inventions and technical development, to the increase of the productivity of mankind, to the extermination of disease, to the extension of scientific research, to the raising of the standard of physical health, to the sharpening and refinement of the human brain, to the exploitation of the unused and unsuspected resources of the planet, to the prolongation of human life, and the furtherance of any other agency that can stimulate the intellectual, the moral, and the spiritual life of the entire human race.
A world federal system, ruling the whole earth and exercising unchallengeable authority over its unimaginably vast resources, blending and embodying the ideals of both the East and the West, liberated from the curse of war and its miseries, and bent on the exploitation of all the available sources of energy on the surface of the planet, a system in which Force is made the servant of Justice, whose life is sustained by its universal recognition of one God and by its allegiance to one common Revelation--such is the goal towards which humanity, impelled by the unifying forces of life, is moving.
