1) Who are we?

2) What do we possess?

3) What are we capable of doing?

Pastor Massoud Sadeghi then continued to discuss the answers.  Here is a summary of his sermon:

Interestingly enough, these three questions are common amongst all people of the world.  People’s lives center around the answer to these three questions.

Let’s answer these three questions for the believers in Christ.  Let’s look at IICor 5:17.  The Bible says that anyone born again in Christ has unlimited life, unlimited power and unlimited blessings and wealth in Jesus Christ.  In Jesus we are capable of doing anything.  If one’s life is in Jesus, that person has many privileges.  We are God’s children and as His children we have previliges that others don’t.

In Col. 1:13, we read that you are free of all chains and bondage in this world.  You are free to sow and reap in freedom and you will receive His blessings abundantly.   What ever you touch, what ever you put your mind to, through Jesus Christ, you will sow many rewards and benefits, so vast that you can not collect it all.  When a believer realizes that we’re free from Satan’s harm and realize that Jesus paid for our sins, we know that we are free of sins and free from Satan’s grip.  Read Gal. 5:1.  Yes, you are free and should not let others put the yoke of sin and bondage on you.  We should proclaim: I have everything in Jesus; I can do anything in Him.  Freedom is the number 1 thing that people around the world need. 

Since Jesus is the captain that pilots your life, there is nothing to be afraid of or to worry about!  God’s grace is enough for us to meet any challenge or difficulty.  God’s Grace is all that we need to receive His blessings, peace and prosperity.  God created us by giving us this eternal life.  He breathed His spirit in us when he created humans.   God intended that we have eternal life.   (Read Col. 1:15, Genesis 2:7).

God has created everyone of us by His own hand. God crafted and shaped each and everyone of us by His own hands.  We are His creations formed in His image.  Knowing this fact, our views of each other must change as we should view one another as the handicraft of God.  Read John 15:5 – Did you know that you are under the protection of Jesus’ blood?  Did you know that you will bring vast harvest.  (Look at Hebrews 7:25 then Romans 8:33 and Phil 3:19).  Jesus is there and prepared to always make intercession for us.  Jesus always lives to see that our rights and salvation are protected.  God even fights for us, for His children.  He fights for our behalf.  In Him, we can reach the wonderful promises that He has given us.  He will satisfy all of your needs and gives you blessings beyond our imagination and beyond any limits.  Amen.

Good morning and welcome to Nejat Church.  Is everyone feeling and receiving love in this church? Is there anyone who does not feel he/she is not receiving the love of Jesus from the other members?  I want to see that you are loved in our church in the same way that Jesus loved us.

For some time, I wanted the Nejat Church to be like the 1st century church, filled with love.  That our church would be able to do the same miracles that happened then.  But, the Lord has given me new insight. That today’s church is able to do things that the 1st century church was unaware and unable to do.  Today’s good news is that you have powers in today’s church that were not available to the 1st century church.

Peter and other disciples had heard and had seen first hand about healings and miracles of Jesus and they too performed such miracles.  (1John 1:1-3). Since then the heavens have opened up and new revelations have been given to us.  (IICor. 12:7).  Our new creation in Christ provides us powers that can liberate our people in Iran.  The church needs to learn that it can stand before God today and ask in Jesus’ name whatever it needs.  The apostles believed based on what they had seen. You believe based on your faith and thus you have much more power entrusted to you by God. 

Satan is afraid of the revelations that are given to today’s churches. We should wake up and discover these revelations and known that they are so powerful that they can shake up the world. 

When Jesus rose from the dead, he went up to heaven and now sits at the right hand of God.  But today we know he is our savior and the one who advocates on our behalf.  The church is the body of Christ and all the powers of Christ are in His church.  (Col 1:18).

D.L. Moody once said: “If i could lived again, I would spend more time to discover the revelations in God’s Word.”  Today you have the spirit of God, namely you have Jesus in you.  Wherever you are and you go, God is there; He is with you and dwells in  you.  The church embodies Christ.  Once you realize that God is in y ou, and you have the new creation in Christ, you have the same power as God.

God lives in Christians and in church.   Did Jesus shed his blood for nothing?  He gave His life so we may have eternal life and fellowship with the great God.  We’re now the temple of God.  God is love, kind and humble.  He is here, lives in us and amongst us.  Set aside your pride and see His presence.  God is in Christians, those who are like Christ. 

So build each other up everytime you see one another.  God wants to use us for His plans.  The powers of heaven are in our reach.  God has opened my eyes to the fast that Nejat Church is more than a 1st century church. (Hebrews 11:1, 6)

The kind of faith that pleases God is the kind of faith that you have in Nejat Church.  We’re now aware and have the kind of faith that whatever we ask in Jesus’ name we shall receive as we have already received so many things from Him. (Col 1:11).  Paul prayed that God gives His power (all of His power) to you.  (Eph 6:11-18)

I speak about all churches today.  You are equipped with God.  Use your tongue to utter the word of God to defend against Satan.  Use your speech with the word of God to bring His blessings & healings to your  loved ones, to your friends and family and to your neighbor.  You can cast out poverty, sickness, despair, and all ailments and shortcomings of this world by reciting the mighty word of God in Jesus name.  Now just act on His word.  Amen.

Welcome to the Nejat Church. This is your church. The people’s church.  I’m going to talk to you today about the Blood Covenant.  What is it and why is it significant?  Let me begin by saying that God has made a blood covenant with mankind.  God’s blood scares Satan.  Every time I preach about the blood of Jesus, I find the miraculous results of healing, freedom from bondage of sin, peace, prosperity and promises of God fulfilled among the people.  The blood of Jesus is able to cleanse everything and all things.  In all other religions the believers have to give of their life and blood to their god or gods, but in Christianity, it is God Himself, Jesus Christ who gave His blood to his followers.

I want to disclose this important fact to you. Please read John 5:51-57.  The blood of Jesus can take any sickness, sadness and sin and result of sin away and it can overcome any problem in your lives.  Jesus came for all generations and people of all races.  He came to heal the broken hearts.  Anyone who takes the body of Christ and His blood, he/she will have eternal life.  I wan tot tell my people in Iran that religion does not save them, but Jesus, His blood and body gives eternal life.  When you take the sacrament, a token of the body and blood of Jesus, then Satan will flee from you. Satan will be afraid of you.

You can not dislike others as you have now taken the body and blood of Jesus in your vein.  You must forgive and love others just as Jesus did love us.  I know Satan is very unhappy today as I talk about the blood of Jesus.

You know, I’m tired of Satan and his tricks on my people.  I’m sad to see that believers who have so much power in Jesus Christ in Heaven are not prospering because of Satan.  Remember Jesus is and dwells in us.  How could we have Jesus in us and fight with one another?  Now that we are one body in Christ, it does not make sense to be fighting withone another!  Jesus said: Just as the living God has sent me and I’m alive today, anyone who eats of my blood and flesh will have eternal life.   The Bible tells of the blood covenant in both the old and the new testament.  There is no salvation anywhere else but in Jesus who gave His blood for our sins. 

In the history of man, there have been many forms and rituals of blood covenant.  All nations have practiced some form of blood covenant.  These rituals have independent of one another evolved, but they all go back to what happend in the garden of Eden.  Likewise, Abraham made a blood covenant with God so God could give him many promises.  In the new testament, God gave His Son’s blood for a new covenant and gave us many more and much more powerful promises.

There are three reasons for blood covenants: 

1) For protection. A small tribe would make a covenant with a larger more powerful tribe for protection.  I praise God that we are given a covenant with Him, Jesus Christ who is the most powerful.  He protects us against anything.

2) To promote trade. Nations made covenants to promote long lasting parternships and cooperation between each other lasting many generations and even governments.  God’s covenant with us through Jesus Christ provides fully and most completely for us.  We have again prosperity through this covernant with God.

3)To form a family relationship.  To take of each other people made blood covenants to become brothers.  We’ve a brother in Jesus Christ who protects and looks after our needs.  In Christ we enjoy all three forms of covenants.  I have good news for you:  Jesus is holding the bread and blood in his hands waiting for us to take it.  No other blood covenant is required for you, since you have already made such a covenant with Jesus.

In each covenant, God changes the person and their family just as He did with Abraham and Sarah.  In the new covenant with Christ, you have changed and so has your family.  You are amongst a new family now.  Whatever is in God is now in you.  Look how much God blessed Abraham and Abraham’s descendants.  How much more has He blessed you who He calls as His children?  (Read Galatians 3:7 and 1Peter2:9)

Jesus is alive today for us.  He is now sitting in the right hand side of God.  He can provide and protect us from everything.

In John 16:24, Jesus said: You have not asked anything yet, but ask in my name and you will receive so your happiness is complete.  If you feel you are alone or feel that you need something, just ask in Jesus’ name and you will receive.  You are no longer alone, as you have Jesus in you as you take this sacrament.  God bless you. Amen.

” Welcome to Nejat Church.  I hope you have come, ready for change because Jesus changes us.  He has given us eternal life, hope and power over the evil, because our Lord is alive.  Today the word that I’ve to deliver comes from the Holy Spirit.  It’s a life changing word.  The world needs the presence and existence of God.  God created the church on this earth as a token of His presence and existence.  Some have understood this principle… Let’s learn the power of this fact and use it in our lives.  There is power in being born again.  You can touch and feel and itnernalize this new life.  One verse captures it all; John 10:10 – Jesus said: The thief comes to steal and destory. But I’ve come so that you may have eternal life and have it abundantly.

Eternal life is more than just being alive and to breath. The life that Jesus talked about was about a God-like life, an everlasting life.  In John 1:4, Bible says that life came from God and Jesus brough it with him.  This is the eternal life. It gave light.  Where there is light, darkness flees.  When you believe in Jesus, any darkness in your life is wiped away with the Light of God.  Jesus is the source of eternal life.  Anyone who has come to know Jesus is a new creation in light (see 2Cor 5:17).

The old human nature is now replaced by a new creation.  We’re now God’s friends, God’s children.  He shares His glory and riches with you. 

Some try to label Christianity as a religion, but Christianity is not a religion.  It’s a miracle.  It’s not a new set of laws or rituals.  It’s a new creation.  Only Jesus and only through Jesus we find this eternal life.  No law, no prophet, and no one can change the nature and creation of humans, but Jesus who transforms us from within, can do that. He can take people from darkness to light.  Only Jesus can do this.  In this new creation, we’re now among God’s family and have the previlege to sit next to God.  (Psalm 8:4-5).

Why did God pay so much attention to the human race?  We’re created in His image.  He put the crown of glory on humans.  If believers only truly knew the benefits and meaning of eternal life they could change the world at once.  Take a look at this world, the person who does not believe in Jesus brings destruction to himself and to those around him.

 I want to open a secret for you.  Read John 3:16.  God loved the world so much that he sacrificed His only Son, so our sins are forgiven and we -instead of going to hell- will go to heaven.  But that’s not all.  This is the good news: When God gave His Son, he gave Jesus to us, namely the eternal life itself;  He gave his own character and nature, true life to us who believe in Jesus.

You should know that now you are like God, you speak like God, you behave and act righteously like God, … In John 20:30-31, we learn that as believers not only our sins are forgiven, but also that we have eternal life.  In 1John 5:11-12, we learn that : Whoever has the Son, has eternal life.  The creativity and power of God is available to us believers. 

But those who do not know Jesus, live in darkness and misery.  I’ve a message for the youth:  The eternal life in you can enable you to change the world.  (Read 1John 5:13-15).  Since you know, live, speak and act like the Creator, He will hear you and will grant you whatever you ask of Him in Jesus’ precious name.

To parents, I say:  teach your children to worship God.  I want to be remembered as the pastor who taught and encouraged believers to worship God.  Today, I welcome the Jewish guests who have heard about our church and have joined us.  We are so much indebted to the Jewish people for giving us Jesus.  Paul said I’m not ashamed of Jesus’ word.  Likewise, I’m also not ashamed of His word. 

I respect all religions, but want to tell you about Christianity.  All religions attempt to ameliorate our appearance, to make our outer shell look good.  But Chrisianity wants to change us from the inside.  The old nature is replaced with a new nature, a new life.  There are many forms of life.  There is life in plants, animals, and humans.  But one life form does not change into another. For example, animal life does not tranform itself into plant life.  But there is one form of life that changes the nature of the living humans and allows the Life of God to enter into humans.   This is the God-like life, the eternal life.  To know something, it’s necessary to study the origin of such a thing.  It’s good to know the origin of this eternal life that believers enjoy.

In John 1:1, the Bible tells us that in the begining the Word was with God, the Word was God and that was Jesus.  Jesus was the Life of God.  Jesus came to this world to bring God-like form of life, namely the eternal life to the human race.  Anyone who is united with Jesus, is filled of the Holy Spirit, and has a new creation, and with this new creation, has the personality, the nature and  characteristics of God. 

We have God’s life in ourselves.  We are new creations with a new form of life, the God-like, eternal life form.  Jesus said that he is the true vine and we are the branches.  You know that branches grow new leaves and fruit.  God’s life and all of God’s characteristics are in you and live in you.  If believers focus on the vine and live from the sap of this vine, namely if they focus on Jesus and let the sap of this vine to flow through them, they can have everything they want from God.  (See John 10:10).  Jesus came so we may have eternal life in full and have it abundantly.  Underscore the words full and abundantly.  Something that is full, is complete and does not lack anything; there are no deficiencies. 

As God blessed you when you were a sinner, imagine how abundantly God will give you of his blessings when you become one of His children as a believer.  In 2Cor 5:4, Paul says that we will be swallowed up by life.  Underscore the words: swallowed up by life.  Imagine that… we would be swallowed up in eternal life and as we read in Mark 9:23 and Matthew 19:26, everything that we want is possible.  For the believer who is swallowed up by God’s eternal life, everything is possible, because Jesus makes it possible. 

I want to open a metophorical sea shell and give you a pearl today.  I’ve received freely so I give freely.  Are you ready to receive this pearl of God’s Word?  Look at Philipians 2:13.  It is God who through His loving kindness gave us eternal life and power.  But this power is in us through Jesus Christ who overcame the sins of this world and made the supernatural miracles possible.  When Jesus walked on this earth, the same powers that were in Him and were demonstrated over nature, are also in you through His name.  (Read John 14: 12-14).  Jesus transforms anything that is impossible, into possible.  We can do the impossible things because Jesus is making is possible in us.

God uses the believers to carry out His plans.  The power of Jesus in the believer is bigger and mightier than all the evil in this world.  The power of Jesus in a believer is bigger and more powerful than all chemical weapons and any nuclear bomb that a nation might want to build. 

I’ve been called by the Holy Spirit to make you aware of the power of God in you.  So, believers stand up and grasp what a wonderful life you have and the power that you have in Jesus’ precious name. (Read John 5:24).  Do not live life by focus on your past sins. Instead focus on God’s life, the enternal life in you today.   Today, God’s love and life flows in us and through us.  Today, we are sisters, brothers and one family in God’s love. We love one another, and even love our enemies.  Jesus is the origin of God’s eternal life and love the essence and nature of this eternal life.  May God bless you.  Amen.

Eight pastors participated in the sessions.  Pastors Michelle and Nathanael Wolf gave several lessons which brought the house down (so to speak) with rounds of Hallelujah, Amen, praises for God and standing ovations.  Pastor Reza Safa led ministry sessions and sermons on healing, faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit.  Pastor Kamran spoke of the need for Christians to organize and prepare for revival in Iran.  Pastors Soorik and Elham delivered lessons on building faith and learning from Jesus. 

Several Iranians came to accept the Lord at this conference and were baptized by Pastor Massoud Sadeghi.  It was great to see people from many faiths, Moslems and Baha’i faith came to this conference to ask questions and learn about the Lord Jesus Christ.  The conference participants had come from eight different cities in the US and Canada.  There were prayer sessions for the Iranian people and freedom in Iran.   Several believers found healings and blessings from these prayer sessions.

There are two truths before us.  One is the false and the temporary truth of this world.  The other is the eternal and definitive truth of the Lord.  The Lord’s truth is that Jesus took our pains and sufferings so we could be free and receive life and his blessings through faith in Jesus Christ.  (Read: 1Peter 4:8 and James 4:7)

The topic of the sermon was: “Receive your blessings in faith and hold on to them by faith also”.  Pastor Massoud reminded us that: “Jesus lifted and removed our pains.”  He added: “I have good news for you.  Satan is defeated.  Jesus broke Satan’s neck.  Satan must be and is afraid of you believers. Ask with faith for what God has planned for you and claim it with confidence in Jesus’ name. ” (Read Galatians 3:13)

The light of our path is the word of God.   Because God’s word is alive and is powerful, through faith God’s gifts and blessings will flow toward you.  It’s only through faith that we’re saved and we will be able to sit with Jesus in heaven. 

Kelisa (Church) comes from the word Eclesia, meaning “called for”.  Today, we are called to know Jesus and God’s word.   Members of the church are called to give love and kindness to others.  Nejat Church is based on God’s love. 

The way to receive blessings is through giving love to one another.  You, the believers are the living letters.  Like a tree filled with fruits of spirit, if you are shaken with the troubles of this world, you’ll not be afraid or defensive, but you will give fruits of your love to this world. 

God infinitely loves us; knows us and wants the best for us.  We must go to God with confidence knowing that we’re saved through Jesus Christ; having faith that Jesus will respond to our requests.  Do you want to create faith in others?  (Read Acts 14: 6-10)  It is through the word of God that faith can be built in others… Amen.
