LIVE IT TOO

The ORIGINAL 11 apostle=+1 in Saint Matthias=did just that=They took the work of Jesus=

And EVANGELIZED the world=and they were SUCCESSFUL at it=Because they CARRIED=

Accompany=Those who BELIEVE=In my name=They will drive out DEMONS=They will SPEAK=

In new tongues=They will pick up snakes=With their hands=and they will DRINK deadly poison=

It will NOT HURT them all=They will place their HANDS=On sick people=and they will

GET WELL”                                                                                                                                                    Mark 17:18

 

We are THE EVIDENCE=That the first 11+ Matthias succeeded=We are the Christians of

TODAY=We are the 21^st century BELIEVERS=The CHRISTIANS=That the world looks too=But

There is still WORK to do=UNTIL every human being in this world=ACCEPTS God the Holy Father=

And Jesus Christ in their heart=We are to BE THE EXAMPLES=Of the God of LOVE and Jesus=IN

This world=WE ARE=TO PROCLAIM IT=and LIVE IT=Just like tall those EARLY CHRISTIANS=Like

John Mark!
