Auckland Christian Assembly

Auckland Christian Assembly We believe Jesus rose from the dead to continue doing what he did before.

We are an independent church "classified" as Pentecostal because we think everything that happened in the Bible church should still happen today. In other words, Jesus has risen from the dead, he is even more powerful than before, and he is doing wonders through his people.

Ever wonder why the trials of life get so hot?

In ancient times, a silversmith knew the refining process was complete only when the dross (impurities) was gone and he could see his own face clearly reflected in the liquid silver.

God does the exact same thing with us. He is the Refiner and the Fire, and our faith is the gold.

Here is what happens when you go through the fire:

๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐: In Genesis 32, Jacob wrestled with God and is blessed and given the name Israel. Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, โ€œFor I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.โ€ The sun rose on Jacob at Peniel. The trial ended, not because his circumstances changed, but because his identity changed. Jacob saw God's face and stopped reflecting his own manipulative nature and started reflecting the nature of a "Prince with God" (Israel). He saw God clearly. The refining fire ends when God looks at you and sees His own Son's character reflected back at Him.

When Nebuchadnezzar looked in the furnace at Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, he sees them walking freely, unbound, and unharmed. What did the fire actually burn? The ropes.
The "dross" in your life is anything that ties you to this worldโ€”the fear of man, the love of approval, the anxiety over provision. The fire does not destroy your soul; it destroys your bo***ge. The heat that breaks others sets you free.

Their dross was already gone. They didn't need to be refined into gold; they already were gold. The Son of God immediately appeared beside them. When you face affliction, do not just pray for escape. God's highest purpose is to join you in the trial. When the world looks at your trial, they shouldn't just see a brave person; they should see a fourth Man walking with you.

When Christ returns, He looks for His image reflected in your trust. True faith glows under heat, bringing Him praise, while counterfeit faith shrivels away. The fire proves your faith is genuine. This tested faith endures to the end, ensuring your eternal salvation.

๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐š๐ฅ๐ฏ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฌ: The salvation of souls is the ultimate result because a purified Church is a magnetic Church. When your faith is refined, your life becomes a bridge that leads others to be reconciled to God. When Nebuchadnezzar saw the Son of God his response was "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego... no other god can deliver in this way." (Dan 3:28-29). The objective of your pure faithโ€”the salvation of soulsโ€”is achieved in the fire because a tested faith proves the Gospel is true. Your endurance shouts, "Christ is alive!" Your joy in the fire whispers to a dying world, "This salvation is real."

So do not despise the furnace. The Refiner is sitting with you. The gold is your faith. And the end result is not just your rescue, but the light that leads many others home. "That the genuineness of your faith... may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ"โ€”and when He is honoured, souls are saved.

๐Ÿ Yesterday a group of homeschooling teens took part in a working bee to help tidy and clean up the carpark and gardens at ACA.

They are part of the Duke of Edinburghโ€™s award to serve churches and community and organisations every Wednesday, doing clean-ups, gardening, cooking, anything that is needed. Most have been a part of this service for at least 3 years.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a global youth development program for people aged 14 to 24. Participants build life skills by completing challenges in volunteering, physical sports, personal skills, and outdoor expeditions.

Our appreciation and thanks to all for an amazing job done and for donating their time and resources

During the Exodus when the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way (Num 21:4), the people spoke against God, and against Moses, asking 'Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die?'

They could see a miracle every moment (pillars of fire and smoke led them day and night) and they still complained. When the Lord sent fiery (poisonous) serpents among the people and they were bitten and many died, they came to Moses saying they had sinned and asked him to pray to the Lord that the serpents be taken from them. And Moses prayed for the people (Num 21:7).

Then the Lord said to Moses, โ€œ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต, ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ข ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ; ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ต, ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ.โ€ So Moses made a ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜€, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the brass serpent, ๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ.

Sin separates us from God. When Adam and Eve were banished from the garden, this separation started the process of perishing, the slow degradation and gradual destruction of their humanity. Separation doesn't just make us 'bad', we become unrecognisable, losing not just our happiness but our humanity. The image of God that we're made from that makes us human, is broken.

Jesus is the righteousness of God. He is our bargaining chip with God. He is not an addendum, He is the main part in our ministry. He gives us our purpose.

Like Lot, you have to obey the message, the commandment to go out - don't stop, don't look back. The Lord will never blink on ungodliness and wickedness, but will also provide a way out for us.

The righteousness of God is the way out to salvation. We will save our lives by living for Jesus and telling others about Him.
