The "new birth" described
One's understanding of the "new birth" or "birth from above" can be enhanced by making three brief analogies between it and the physical birth with which we are all familiar.
First, it takes a birth to live upon earth, temporarily. Likewise, it takes a second birth to live with Christ, eternally.
Second, one does nothing to be born physically. An act of love between man and wife produces life. Similarly, an act of love upon Calvary made eternal life a possibility for all who receive Christ.
Third, one's life upon earth begins as he is born. Likewise, eternal life begins immediately as one is "born again."
This reception of the Son of God into one's heart and life automatically and instantaneously makes one a child of God because John 1:12 states, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the SONS OF GOD. Spiritually speaking, then, sons are born to God as the Lord Jesus Christ is received.
This is possible only because of Christ's death and Resurrection. That's what the gospel message, meaning "good news," is all about. Paul declares in I Corinthians 15:1-4, Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
This is the message that must be accepted if one is to be "born again," "born from above," " born by the Spirit," and "born into eternal life." This gospel must include the proclamation of Christ's shed blood for the remission of one's sins. To bypass the blood is to destroy the message! The "good news" becomes "bad news" when the blood is omitted. One could not get to heaven by the death of Christ if Christ's decease were bloodless.
Had Christ expired via suffocation or heart attack, His death would have been in vain as far as salvation is concerned. It had to be death by the shedding of blood, for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul (Leviticus 17:11). That's why the Church was purchased with his own blood (Acts 20:28), and why we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace (Ephesians 1:7). This "good news" also tells us that the blood of Jesus Christ [God's] Son cleanseth us from all [ALL] sin (1 John 1:7). Small wonder that 1 Peter 1:19 calls Christ's blood precious...as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
This gospel message, however, is not complete without Christ's bodily Resurrection. Permanent death would have rendered the sacrifice valueless. Therefore, Romans 4:25 states, [Christ] was delivered [at Calvary] for our offences, and was raised again for [or because of] our justification. In simpler technology, the text declares that Jehovah raised His Son from the dead to prove that the saved sinner's righteous standing before God was settled forever because of Christ's shed blood. When one accepts this gospel message as the only way of salvation and receives Christ who made it all possible, he immediately becomes a SON OF GOD. The recipient instantaneously is "born" by the Holy Spirit into the family of God and commences to celebrate his new birthday for time and eternity.
Life in a look
Millions upon millions will be in heaven because they followed God's instructions for eternal life given in John 3:1-7. In verse seven, one is told that he must be born again and verses 14 through 16 explain God's process in performing the miracle. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The background for this precious portion of Scripture is found in Numbers 21. The Children of Israel, because of disobedience to God, had been trampling in the wilderness needlessly. Meanwhile, their constant griping got to Jehovah God, and He gave them a good spiritual spanking.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people... [and many died]. Therefore [they] came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee [Moses]; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived (Numbers 21:6-9).
What an experience! Think of it, there was life in a look! The infected victims did nothing but obey God's message. They came, looked, and were healed. Now John states, [Just as] Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man [Christ] be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:14-15). As there was physical life by looking at the uplifted serpent, so there is eternal life by looking at Calvary's uplifted sacrifice.
Since brass in Scripture depicts judgment, the brass serpent uplifted on a pole pictured judgment accomplished in behalf of the people. They only had to look and believe to live. Christ, lifted high on the cross nearly 2,000 years ago, also symbolized judgment accomplished on the part of sinners.
No doubt about it! Christ died for our sins (I Corinthians 15:3). [God] hath made [Christ] to be sin for US, who knew no sin; that WE might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21). Therefore, one need do nothing. Christ has already been judged for the sin of all sinners. Just look and live, believe and be saved! As life was imparted to the Israelites by looking, so eternal life is bestowed upon all who look and believe. It is logical, then, to conclude and theologically accurate to say that one's reception of Christ becomes the "born-again" experience, because it is this reception of the Savior and His shed blood that makes one a "son" (see John 1:12).
( THE NEW BIRTH )
John 3:1-7 states, There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The "new birth" defined
Now what is this "born-again" experience? Nicodemus, a master or teacher of Israel, figured that it might have something to do with reincarnation. So he asked, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Christ instantaneously refuted this reasoning by saying, That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The Greek word another, translated again means "from above." Thus, Christ actually said, "Nicodemus, reentrance into and rebirth from the womb of one's mother only produces a second fleshly manifestation, not a spiritual birth. For that which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Therefore, marvel not (don't be shocked) that I said you must be born from above, or born spiritually."
This plain, simple, logical statement from God should "put to bed" once, for all, and forever the nonsense taught by reincarnationists. They believe that after death one is "reborn" as a human, cow, dog, or ant. (Don't step on an ant because it might be your Aunt!) Wow! If one wants to believe fairy tales, that's his business. But please do not use the Bible to propagate such heresy.
That's why John 1:13, speaking about "twice-born" men, says, Which were born, not of blood [fleshly reproduction], nor of the will of the flesh [works], nor of the will of man, BUT OF GOD. Titus 3:5 agrees by stating, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
This makes it plain that baptism, confirmation, the communion service, the Golden Rule, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Ten Commandments cannot save a soul. Salvation is of the LORD (Jonah 2:9). That's why Romans 4:5 declares, To him that worketh not, but believeth on [Christ] that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
The new birth, then, is a birth into God's family, produced by the Holy Spirit the moment one receives Christ as his or her personal Savior. Let me prove this. Humans become sons or daughters by birth. Since one can only become a son or daughter by birth, it is evident that God's SONS and DAUGHTERS are also born into the heavenly family. This occurs as Christ is received. John 1:12 states, But as many as received [Christ], to them gave he power to become the sons of God. Christ-rejecters cannot, therefore, be sons of God. Call me bigoted and prejudiced if you will, but I simply believe the Bible. Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar (Romans 3:4).
Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life: NO MAN cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 also states, Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Therefore, ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26).
How different are the teachings of God's Holy Word from the speculative guesses of men -- even clergymen! Ordained apostates hate the teachings of the Bible. They, loaded with degrees (enough to give their parishioners a fever), know more than God who wrote the Book. At least it seems this way as they attempt to gain the sinner's favor by parroting the ecumenical message of the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." This pleases the lost, but it is not the message found upon the pages of Holy Writ. God is not one's Father until a birth has occurred. Blind leaders of the blind ignore this fact and distort the truth by quoting misquoted texts.
Now taking a text out of context produces a pretext. This is the case as "reverends" quote the first half of Galatians 3:26, Ye are all the children of God. It sounds wonderful to the average pew warmer, but is so untrue. The entire verse tells the story accurately. I quote, Ye are all the children of God BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. Christ must be received if one is to become a son or daughter. Until then, one is a child of the devil. Don't blame me for that statement. Jesus made it in John 8:44. He said, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do.
The Holy Spirit also declares in 1 John 3:8, He that committeth sin is of the devil. We see then that one is either a child of God or a child of the devil. To become a child of God one must trust in the shed blood of Christ for the remission of his sins. The moment one makes this decision, the birth "from above" takes place and son ship begins. Then, and only then, can one honestly pray, [My] Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name (Matthew 6:9). No man may call God "Father" without this spiritual birthday.
The Grace of God
Salvation is a gift of God, apart from works. Anyone who rejects this statement rejects the Almighty's plan of redemption for the entire human race. There is no other way.
Is this the teaching of the Word of God? You be the judge!
Scriptural assertations pointing to salvation as a gift fill the pages of God's Word. Ephesians 2:8,9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. In Romans 5:15, we discover that the gift is by grace. Since the gift is by the grace of God, we had better define the term. Grace means "unmerited favor" or "favor from God that one does not deserve."
As one looks at his own sinful portrait, painted by the Holy Spirit in Romans 3, he hangs his head in shame saying, "It's true. It's true, every word of it. I deserve God's judgment because of my terrible iniquity. I do not merit His love and grace. If justice prevailed, I would be eternally separated from God, but God loved me and sent His Son to offer His blood for me at Calvary that I might have the gift of eternal life. This is truly unmerited favor, yes, favor from God that I do not deserve. Thank You, Lord."
Grace greater than our sin
This grace that is greater than all our sin is best comprehended when one studies the Holy Spirit's graphic description of every member of the human race in Romans 3:10-18. God says, There is none righteous, no, not one...there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher [or grave] ...the poison of asps [snakes] is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
This horrible indictment of the human race includes you, for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). If salvation depended upon any of us, heaven would he empty. But God's grace says, "Here is a gift you do not deserve. Take it...it's yours!" This is grace, grace, marvelous grace.
When one takes the gift, receiving Christ as his personal Savior, he immediately exchanges his rags of unrighteousness (see Isaiah 64:6) for robes of righteousness (see Isaiah 61:10). This is so because God's offer is called the gift of righteousness (Romans 5:17) and is in and through Christ -- not human effort. Yes, He [God] hath made him [Christ] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21). Included as a result of the gift is eternal life. What a gloriously wrapped package! Why not open it today and see the beauty of the crucified Son of God shedding His blood to save you. Then call upon His name and be saved eternally.
Does all this sound too simplistic? It shouldn't, for Romans 6:23 emphatically states that the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Since salvation is a gift, it is wrong for any clergyman or church to preach a system of man-made works as a means of obtaining the gift. A gift ceases to be a gift if the strings of human labor are attached to it. This is what Paul had in mind in Romans 11:6 when he declared, If [salvation is] by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more [a gift by] grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Salvation is God's gift
Grace and works diametrically oppose one another. It is impossible to combine them for salvation. You must choose one or the other. It is God's Word or man's. The suave-tongued oratorical genius who talks about working one's way into the Kingdom or who preaches that the Sermon on the Mount, the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments, or obedience to the rules of the church help one in his quest for eternal life knows absolutely nothing about the gift of God through grace.
When one works, God becomes man's debtor, owing man spiritual wages for meritorious service rendered. Is this God's method of operation? Never! Romans 4:4,5: Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace [or as a gift], but of debt. But to him that worketh not...his faith is counted for righteousness. Again: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost (Titus 3:5).
Dear friend, you have nothing to do with salvation. The "good news" is that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). This "good news" is what Christ did -- not what man does. Our salvation is not in the word do but in the word done.
Salvation is God's gift to wayward, hopeless, and helpless sinners. Your part is to receive the gift: as many as received him [Christ], to them gave he power to become the sons of God (John 1:12). The moment one receives the gift, eternal life begins and one can jubilantly shout with Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:15, Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
Now that God's plan has been unfolded as salvation apart from works, let's reverse the coin and consider briefly "works, a part of salvation." Does this sound contradictory? It need not. Why? Though one is saved freely, apart from any human merit, one immediately begins to work when salvation has occurred as an evidence that Christ within is in control. Hence, Ephesians 2:10 states, We are his [God's] workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.
So when one takes all of God's Word into account concerning "good works," he concludes that salvation is "faith plus nothing." It is all of God, and nothing man does saves or keeps him saved. Salvation is by "grace," offered freely through Christ's sacrifice, and is received by faith, apart from works. However, the bottom line demands that the received gift become effectual through a manifestation of good works.
Salvation is manifested through works
James discusses this in chapter 2:14-18. What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can [this kind of] faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works [or does not produce works], is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
Why? Because the outflow of works is a sign that an inward faith is operative. You say, "I believe. I believe and that settles it!" It does if this belief produces love, holiness, and good works. However, a faith that is void of works is phony, for James tells us in verse 19 that the demons who eventually fill hell believe but never produce righteous acts or good works.
Friend, if all you do is quote Christianity's creeds but never display the fruit of Christianity's cross, you, too, will be lost. If one lives like the devil, acts like the devil, talks like the devil, and runs with the devil, he will eternally live with the devil. [So] examine yourselves [to see if you] ...be in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5).
One may know all the dogma of the faith and be able to quote great portions of the Bible, but his absence of works is indicative of a meaningless experience. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (Titus 1:16). God's desire is that we be fruitful in every good work (Colossians 1:10). He also wants to stablish [us] in every good word and work (2 Thessalonians 2:17). It will happen when one is saved.
There it is. Salvation is by grace, offered freely because of Christ's blood sacrifice. It is to be received as a gift by faith in order to have eternal life. When the "faith" transaction is made, the nature of God is imparted at "regeneration" or salvation, and this "God within" produces love, holiness, and good works.
( TIME TO MOVE ON ) 03- 22 - 06
( 2 TIMOTHY CH 4 V 1 - 8 )
THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE HEAR OF PAUL’S WRITING’S. PAUL IS IMPRISONED HERE IN ROME AND HE KNOWS HIS TIME IS OVER AND DONE WITH. HERE HE IS INSTRUCTING YOUNG TIMOTHY TO CARRY ON THE WORK OF THE LORD IN WHICH HE HAD STARTED. PAUL HAS ASKED TIMOTHY TO BRING HIM HIS CLOAK OR JACKET AND TO BRING HIS BOOKS AND NOW HE ADDRESS TIMOTHY ON CARRY ON GOD WORK.
V1.PAUL CHARGE TIMOTHY HERE IN V1. CHRIST APPEARANCE AND HIS KINGDOM ARE NOT THE SAME THING, HIS APPEARING IS REFERRING TO THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH AND THE KINGDOM REFERS TO THE REVELATION OF CHRIST WHEN HE RETURNS TO EARTH TO ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM..
V2.PREACH THE WORD MEANS TO PROCLAIM THE WORD OR TO GIVE IT OUT.
BE INSTANT MEANS WE SHOULD PREACH AT ANY TIME, NO MATTER WHAT THE TIME OR THE DAY. PAUL SAYS TO PREACH THE WORD, NOT JUST TALK ABOUT IT.
WE ARE NOT ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD, OR FROM THE WORD OF GOD, BUT PREACH THE WORD OF GOD ITSELF.
THE WORD INSTANT MEANS ( DILIGENT OR EVEN BETTER URGENT ) , AND YOU AND I SHOULD TAKE EVERY CHANGE WE CAN TO TELL THE LOST ABOUT GOD.
REBUKE ACTUALLY MEANS TO THREATEN- IN THE SINCE TO STAND UP AND UPON GOD WORD WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT.
EXHORT MEANS COMFORT, WE NEED TO COMFORT OTHER BELIEVERS.
WITH ALL LONGSUFFERING MEANS THAT ALL OF US WHO GIVE OUT THE WORD OF GOD NEED TO EXERCISE A GREAT DEAL OF PATIENCE.
DOCTRINE MEANS AS WE HAVE SAID PREVIOUSLY, TO TEACHING. WE MUST TEACH GODS WORD.
V3.YOU WILL FIND THERE ARE VERY FEW CHURCH MEMBERS WHO WILL ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE, THEY DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. INTO TODAY CHURCHES PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, THEY WANT A SUBSTITUTE. THEY WANT RELIGIOUS ENTERTAINMENT, THEY WANT THE EMOTIONAL MOVIES, THE PAGEANTS, FOOT TAPPING MUSIC, COLORED LIGHTS. THE MAN WHO WOULD OPEN GOD’S WORD UP AND TRY TO READ IT IS SOON ASK TO SIT DOWN BECAUSE HE IS OUT OF ORDER, HOW SAD WE HAVE BECOME.
V4.THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS WITH ITCHING EARS, THEY LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THESE STRANGE, WEIRD, AND UNUSUAL THINGS. THEY WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED, BUT THEY DON’T WANT TO BE GIVEN THE WORD OF GOD.
V5.IN PAUL DAY AN EVANGELIST WAS A TRAVELING TEACHER, A MISSIONARY. PAUL WAS A EVANGELIST IN THAT SENSE. NOW HE SAYS TO TIMOTHY, YOU DO THE WORK WHICH I HAVE BEEN DOING, IT MUST GO ON ESPECIALLY IN THESE THE LAST DAYS.
V6 - 8.PAUL SUMS UP HIS LIFE IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS.
#1.I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT. PAUL WAS A SOLDIER, THERE WAS A BATTLE THAT HAD TO BE FOUGHT AND A VICTORY TO BE WON AND PAUL WAS A GREAT SOLDIER. PAUL TURNED IT OVER TO TIMOTHY FOR HIM TO CONTINUE JUST AS THE ONE BEFORE YOU HAS GIVEN IT YOU TO CARE ON FOR THE LORD.
#2.I HAVE FINISHED MY COURSE. PAUL STRIVED TO FINISH THE COURSE GOD GAVE HIM TO RUN BECAUSE HE KNEW IT WAS OF MOST IMPORTANCE. PAUL KEEP HIS BODY UNDER SUBJECTION. PAUL HAD COMPLETED ALL THAT GOD HAD GIVEN HIM TO DO, HOW ABOUT YOU ????????????????
#3.I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH. PAUL KEEP THE FAITH , HE HAD NEVER VEERED FROM THE GREAT TRUTHS AND DOCTRINE IN THE WORD OF GOD. CAN YOU AND I SAY THAT ABOUT OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE. PAUL KNEW HE WAS DYING AND GOD’S WORK HAD TO GO ON, SO HE HAD BROUGHT YOUNG TIMOTHY UP AS HIS REPLACEMENT, WHAT ABOUT YOU AND I HAVE WE TOOK THE TIME AS PAUL DID TO HELP OTHER BROTHERS AND SISTERS LEARN ABOUT GODS WORD, SO WHEN IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO TAKE OVER THEY ARE READY????
IN CLOSING PAUL SAID IN V 18 WITH ASSURANCE HE KNEW GOD WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF HIM AND HE GAVE ALL GLORY TO GOD THRU ALL THE SUFFERING AND EVERYTHING HE WENT THRU, CAN YOU AND I LET GOD USE OUR LIFE THE WAY PAUL DID???
PAUL WAS EXECUTED IN ROME IN LATE A.D. 66, HE WAS BEHEADED ON THE OSTIAN WAY. THIS WAS THE ROAD THAT RAN BETWEEN ROME AND OSTIAN AND PAUL WAS EXECUTED ABOUT A MILE OR SO FROM ROME.
THIS IS WHAT JESUS MEANT WHEN HE SAID IN ( JOHN CH 3 V 18 )He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. AND AGAIN IN ( JOHN CH 5 V 24 )Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. BECAUSE GOD JUSTIFIED US THE MOMENT WE GOT SAVED, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE CONDEMNATION AND WRATH OF GOD ( JOHN CH 3 V 36 )36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. JOHN NOT ONLY SAYS THAT WE HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE, BUT WE HAVE PASSED FROM DEATH INTO LIFE. HAVING BLOTTED OUT ALL OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, GOD NO LONGER REMEMBERS OUR SIN, AND AT THE SAME TIME JESUS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WAS IMPUTED TO US.
IMPUTATION SIMPLY MEANS “ TO GIVE CREDIT FOR “ LOOK AT ( ROMANS CH 4 V 3 - 8 )For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and Whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. NOTICE THE FOLLOWING THREE WORDS THAT PAUL USED ( COUNT IN V 3 & 5 ) AND RECKON IN V 4 AND IMPUTE IN V 6 & 8 ), BEING TRANSLATED FROM THE SAME GREEK WORD, ALL THREE OF THESE WORDS HAVE THE SAME MEANING. THEY SIMPLY MEAN TO CONSIDER SOMETHING AS BEING SO, EVEN TOUGH IT IS NOT. ROMANS CH 4 v 8 IS TALKING ABOUT YOU AND I, OUR INWARD MAN IS IN JESUS CHRIST– SINLESS. THE LORD NO LONGER IMPUTES SIN TO OUR INWARD MAN, BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN JUSTIFIED AND DECLARED RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD. LOOK IN ( ROMANS CH 4 V 22 -25 )And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. WE FIND BOTH JUSTIFICATION AND IMPUTATION MENTIONED IN THESE VERSES, IMPUTATION IN V 22 - 24 AND JUSTIFICATION AT THE END OF V 25.
READ THIS SCRIPTURE ( ROMANS CH 10 V 1 - 4 )Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. MAN WILL NEVER GET TO HEAVEN BY TRYING HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS. HE MUST SUBMIT UNTO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THAT IS FREELY GIVEN TO ALL WHO BELIEVE IN THE LORD BY FAITH. WE RECEIVE THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN OUR INWARD MAN. WHAT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD???? IT IS GOD’S OWN PERFECTION AS MANIFESTED IN HIS SON, JESUS. THE REASON THE LAW CANNOT JUSTIFY IS FOUND IN ( ROMANS CH 3 V 20 )Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. THE LAW CAN OPEN A SINNER’S EYES TO HIS SIN, BUT IT CANNOT REMOVE IT. IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO REMOVE SIN, BUT TO INTENSIFY ITS AWFULNESS. THE LAW SIMPLY DEFINES SIN AND MAKES IT EXCEEDINGLY SINFUL, BUT IT CAN NOT EMANCIPATE US FROM IT. BY ONE MAN’S SIN, THE PERFECT RELATIONSHIP THAT EXISTED BETWEEN ADAM AND GOD IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN WAS BROKEN. BECAUSE OF THIS EVERY MAN BORN SINCE THAT HAS BEEN BORN IN SIN, AND JUSTIFICATION IS ABOUT GOD RESTORING THAT LOST RELATIONSHIP BY GIVING BELIEVERS A NEW POSITION OF FELLOWSHIP AND COMMUNION WITH HIMSELF. IT IS A CHANGE FROM GUILT AND CONDEMNATION, TO PERFECT ACCEPTANCE BEFORE GOD. READ ( 2 COR CH 5 V 21 )For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. THE BELIEVER PUTS ON RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE CHRIST JESUS AND GOD SEES HIM PERFECT THERE IN, JUSTIFIED AND HIDDEN IN CHRIST.( 1 JOHN CH 3 V 5- 6 )5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. AND ( 1 JOHN CH 4 V 17 )Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. A GOOD ILLUSTRATION OF THIS CAN BE FOUND IN THE BOOK OF PHILEMON, WHEN PHILEMON’S SLAVE RUN AWAY WITH SOME OF HIS MASTER’S POSSESSION’S AND WENT TO ROME AND MET PAUL AND PAUL LEAD HIM TO KNOW THE LORD AND THEN PAUL SENT HIM BACK TO PHILEMON WITH THIS MESSAGE ( PHILEMON V 17- 18 )If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account; THIS IS IMPUTATION, EXACTLY WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR US. HE PUT ALL OUR SIN ON HIS ACCOUNT. LOOK AT ( ISAIAH CH 53 V 4- 6 )Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
IF YOU WANT TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THESE VERSES WHERE IT SAY’S ( WE , US , OUR ) PUT YOUR NAME IN THEIR AND THEN YOU HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THESE VERSE’S. SUDDENLY THE WORK OF CHRIST BECOMES SOBERING AS WE SEE THAT HE DID IT ALL FOR ME. IT WAS MY SIN THAT SENT HIM TO THAT CROSS. ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF IMPUTATION CAN BE MADE USING TWO BOOKS , ONE RECORDING CHRIST LIFE AND THE OTHER ONE RECORDING YOUR LIFE. WHEN YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR , GOD SWITCHED THE COVERS AND PUT YOUR NAME ON CHRIST BOOK AND CHRIST NAME ON YOUR BOOK. NOW WHEN GOD LOOKS AT YOUR BOOK HE ONLY SEES A PERFECT SINLESS LIFE IN HIS SON. LOOK AT ( 1 PETER CH 3 V 18 )For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: AND ( 1 PETER CH 2 V 24 )Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. WHO IS THE JUST??? IT IS CHRIST. WHO IS THE UNJUST??? YOU AND I, CHRIST SUFFERED FOR OUR SINS AND BORE THEM IN HIS OWN BODY SO HE COULD BRING US TO GOD.
FINALLY IN ROMANS CH 5 , WE SEE A GREAT EMPHASIS ON GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS BEING A FREE GIFT. TO MAKE IT EASIER TO REMEMBER THESE IMPORTANT VERSE, TAKE A MARKER AND HIGHLIGHT EVERY OCCURRENCE OF THE WORD ( GIFT ) IN THESE SCRIPTURES ( ROMANS CH 5 V 15 -18 )But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life. THE WORD GIFT IS MENTIONED AT LEAST ONCE IN EVERY ONE OF THESE VERSE, SOMETIMES TWICE. NOTICE ESPECIALLY IN VERSE 17 IT SAYS THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT IS AS PLAIN AS IT GET’S , THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS BECOME OUR OWN, ENTIRELY THE GIFT OF GOD. ALSO NOTICE ONCE AGAIN THAT JUSTIFICATION IN VERSE 18 MEANS, NO CODEMNATION.
( 2 COR 12 V 7 )And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure, AND HINDERED HIS PLANS FOR THESSALONICA ( 1 THESS CH 2 V 18 )Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. SATAN TRYED TO UNDERMINE PAUL WORK AND THEREFORE WEAKEN THE WORK PAUL WAS DOING FOR GOD, JUST AS HE DOES YOU AND I.
#6.SATAN ATTACKS THE BELIEVERS BY PERSUADING THEM TO TRUST THEIR OWN RESOURCES. TO ATTEMPT TO DO GOD WORK IN OUR OWN POWER IS NOT TO DO HIS WORK AT ALL. LOOK AT WHAT DAVID DID, AFTER MANY YEARS OF RULING OVER ISRAEL AND DEFEATING HER ENEMIES BECAUSE HE OBEYED GOD , LET SATAN COME IN AND MOVE HIM TO NUMBER ISRAEL INSTEAD OF RELYING ON GOD AS HE HAD DONE IN THE PAST, AND GOD WAS DISPLEASED WITH THIS AND JUDGMENT FELL ON ISRAEL AND THEN DAVID KNEW HE HAD MESSED UP.
READ ( 1 CHRON CH 21 V 1 - 8 ) And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know [it]. 3 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they [be]: but, my lord the king, [are] they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? 4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all [they of] Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah [was] four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. 6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab. 7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. 8 And David said
( MATTHEW CH 20 V 1- 16 ) 1-29-06
( ALL WILL BE EQUAL IN GOD’S EYE’S )
THIS PARABLE GOES ALONG WITH JESUS ANSWER TO PETER’S QUESTION BACK IN THE LAST CHAPTER. ALSO NOTE THAT THIS IS REFERRING TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND NOT THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WILL LAST FOR 1000 YRS AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL LAST FOR ETERNITY AND THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WILL BE DELIVERED UP TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD ( READ 1 COR CH15 V 24 - 28 )Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
V-1.A VINEYARD IS OFTEN USED IN SCRIPTURE TO ILLUSTRATE SPIRITUAL MATTERS.
V-2.A PENNY HERE IS MISLEADING BECAUSE WE THINK THAT IS NOTHING COMPARED TO TODAY, BUT IN JESUS DAY A PENNY WAS A DENARIUS AND ACCORDING TO HISTORY IT WAS THE COMMON WAGE FOR A DAY ‘S WORK. IT IS UNSURE HOW MANY LABORERS HE HIRED BUT I THINK IT WAS A GOOD MANY, AND SO THE VINEYARD WAS OF A GOOD SIZE.( NOTICE THAT THE LABORERS AGREED WITH HIM FOR THE AMOUNT HE WAS PAYING ). THESE HE HIRED WHERE HIRED AT 6AM OR THE 1ST HOUR.
V-3. THE HOURS FOR WORK WHERE FROM 6AM TO 6 PM AS WE KNOW TIME TODAY. BUT BACK THEN THEIR WORK DAY WAS FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET AND THEN WENT FROM SUNSET TO SUNRISE TO MAKE 24 HOURS BUT OUR DAY STARTS 12 TO 12 TO MAKE 24 HOURS, SO THAT WHAT IT MEANT WHEN HE SAID IN V 3 HE WENT OUT AT THE 3RD HOURS OR 9AM OUR TIME. BACK THEN WHEN YOU WANTED TO FIND WORK YOU WOULD GO I\TO THE MARKET PLACE AND STAND AROUND AND THOSE WHO NEEDED LABORERS WOULD COME AND HIRE FROM THE MARKET PLACE.
V-4.NOTICE HE NEVER SAID TO THESE MEN WHAT HE WAS PAYING BUT WHATEVER WAS RIGHT HE WOULD GIVE THEM AND THEY TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD.
V-5.AGAIN HE WENT BACK TO THE MARKETPLACE AT THE SIXTH AND NINTH HOURS OR 12 NOON AND AT 3PM AND HIRED MORE WORKERS FOR THE VINEYARD AND AGAIN NEVER MENTION TO THEM WHAT THEIR PAY WAS.
V-6.AND AGAIN HE WENT TO THE MARKETPLACE ONE LAST TIME AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR OR 5 PM, JUST ONE HOUR BEFORE THE WORK DAY WAS OVER.
V-7.IT SAYS HE FOUND THEM STANDING IDLE AS HE DID EACH AND EVERY TIME HE CAME TO THE MARKETPLACE BUT HE TOLD THEM TO GO TO WORK, SOUND’S A LOT LIKE US CHRISTIANS.
V-8.NOW LET’S LOOK AT THIS VERY CLOSELY. WHEN THE EVEN WAS COME IS A REPRESENTATION’S OF THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST IN ( 2 COR CH 5 V 10 )For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad. THE LORD OF THE VINEYARD IS A REPRESENTATION OF GOD TELLING JESUS TO GO AND GET HIS CHILDREN( MATTHEW CH 24 V 36 )But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. THE STEWARD IS A REPRESENTATION OF CHRIST COMING FOR THE CHURCH OR THE RAPTURE.( 1 THES CH 4 V 14 - 17 )For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. GIVING THEM THEIR HIRE IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE CHRISTIAN RECEIVING THEIR REWARD’S AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST. (1 COR CH 3 V 14 ) If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
V-9.HE TOLD THEM TO PAY THE LAST FIRST AND THE FIRST LAST.
V-10.OH BUT THE FIRST DIDN’T LIKE THAT THEY THOUGH THEY SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED MORE THAN THE LAST, EVEN THOU THEY AGREED WITH HIM FOR THERE WAGES FOR THE DAY BACK IN V 2.
V-11.THEY MURMURED AGAINST HIM AND THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF A BACK SLID CHRISTIAN WHO DOESN’T LIKE IT WHEN A YOUNG CHRISTIAN’S COMES INTO THE CHURCH ON FIRE FOR THE LORD , THEY ARE SET IN THEIR WAY’S AND IT’S THERE WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, COME ON NOW YOU NOW I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
V-12.LISTEN TO THEM HOW THEY WHERE GOING ON, THEY WHERE MADE BECAUSE THE LAST WHERE TREATED JUST LIKE THE FIRST, THEY THOUGH THEY SHOULD BE HELD HIGHER THAN THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD BORE THE BURDEN IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY.
V-13.AGAIN HE TAKES THEM BACK TO V 2 WHERE THEY HAD AGREED WITH HIM FOR THERE PAY.
V-14.WHAT DOES THIS VERSE REALLY MEAN???? WE WILL ANSWER THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
V-15.HE SAID IT IS MY MONEY AND I HAVE PAID YOU FAIRLY AND YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE MAD.
V-16.HERE IS THE ANSWER TO THE WHAT IS MEANT IN THIS VERSE AND ALSO CAN BE FOUND IN V 30 OF CH 19 WHEN HE SAID THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST AND THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST.(
THIS STATEMENT MEANS THAT EVERYONE ENDS UP THE SAME, A TRUTH THAT IS EXPLAINED BY THIS PARABLEIN OTHER WORDS EVERYONE FINISHES IN A DEAD HEAT. NO MATTER HOW LONG EACH OF THE WORKERS WORKED, THEY EACH RECEIVED A FULL DAY’S WAGE. SIMILARLY, THE THIEF ON THE CROSS WILL ENJOY THE FULL BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN ALONGSIDE THOSE WHO HAVE LABORED THEIR WHOLE LIVES FOR CHRIST, SUCH IS THE GRACE OF GOD ).
GOD SAY IN ( ROMANS CH 2 V 11 )For there is no respect of persons with God. THERE IS NO BIG I’S OR LITTLE U’S IN HEAVEN, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WE ARE THINKING FLESHLY DOWN HERE BUT UP THERE IT WILL BE ALL SPIRITUALLY. WE WILL ALL BE EQUAL IN THE EYE’S OF GOD AND WE WILL THEN DO WHAT WE WHERE CREATED TO DO AND THAT IS TO WORSHIP AND PRAISE GOD THRU OUT ETERNITY.( REV CH 4 V 3- 5 & 10 & 11 ).And round about the throne [were] four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. V’S 10 & 11,The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
GOD’S CHOSEN MAN 1-22-06
( 1 SAMUEL CH 16 V 1- 13 )
WE START WITH A REMARKABLE MAN CALLED SAMUEL. THE LORD CALLED HIM AND PREPARED HIM TO BE A PROPHET DURING ONE OF THE MOST TRAGIC TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF GOD’S PEOPLE. DURING THE REIGN OF KING SAUL, THE PROPHET SAMUEL BECAME EXTREMELY HEAVY HEARTED OVER THE CONDITION OF THE KINGDOM AND IN PARTICULAR , OVER WHAT HE KNEW TO BE TRUE CONCERNING ISRAEL’S REBELLION. GOD HAD REJECTED SAUL AS KING, ISRAEL DESPERATELY NEEDED LEADERSHIP AND SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE. SAUL WAS THE PEOPLE CHOICE FOR KING BUT NOT GOD’S. THE LORD HAD REVEALED TO SAMUEL THAT HE HAD FOUND A HIS MAN TO BE KING. READ ( 1 SAMUEL CH 16 V 1:And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. : ).
THIS PERSON WAS TO BE DAVID, THE SON OF JESSE. DAVID IS MENTION 1127 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, INCLUDING 54 CHAPTERS DEALING WITH JUST HIM AND THAT IS NOT INCLUDING THE PSALMS. GOD TOLD SAMUEL HE HAD PROVIDED HIMSELF A KING AND IN V 3 HE TELLS HIM TO ANOINT UNTO ME WHOM I NAME UNTO THEE. GOD DID NOT TELL SAMUEL WHO HE HAD IN MINE. ( SEE GOD SEARCHES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A HEART FOR HIM, HE SEE’S WANT MEN CANNOT SEE, HE KNOWS ABOUT THEIR SPIRITUAL LIFE’S AND SEE’S WHAT IS IN THEIR HEART’S ). READ WHAT HE TOLD SAMUEL IN ( CH 16 V 7:) But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. ), GOD START’S SOMETHING IN DAVID LONG BEFORE MEN CAN SEE EVIDENCE OF IT. SAUL HAD BEEN REJECTED LONG BEFORE THE PEOPLE SAW IT BECAUSE GOD SAW IN THE HEART OF SAUL SOMETHING THAT HE COULD NOT BLESS. GOD RAISES UP PEOPLE TO DO MIGHTY THING’ FOR HIM, ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHOM GOD IS LOOKING FOR?
ALL OF US ARE DOING AS MUCH FOR GOD AS WE HAVE A DESIRE TO DO FOR HIM, AND WE GET TO A POINT IN OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE WHERE WE BECOME CONTENT TO BE WHERE WE ARE, AND WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO GO ANY FARTHER FOR THE LORD AND GOD CANNOT USE US IN THAT KIND OF SHAPE.
IT APPEARED TO SAMUEL THAT THE KINGDOM WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND SAUL’S LIFE WAS CERTAINLY OUT OF CONTROL BUT GOD WAS STILL IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING. READ ( PHIL CH 4 V 5-7) Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ), ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THE LORD IS NEAR AND HE IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL. ALSO THE NEXT 2 VERSES OF V 6 & 7 READ ALSO, IF WE REMEMBER THAT THE LORD ID AT HAND THEN WE CAN BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING.
SAMUEL CARRIED A CRUSHING BURDEN BECAUSE HIS MOTHER HAD PROMISED HIM TO THE SERVICE OF THE LORD AND HE DEDICATED HIS WHOLE LIFE TO SERVING THE LORD AND HE THOUGH HE SHOULD HAVE BECAME KING BECAUSE HE WAS THEIR SPIRITUAL LEADER BUT THE PEOPLE WANTED SAUL. EVERYTHING THE OLD PROPHET HAD GIVEN HIS LIFE TO ACCOMPLISHED SEEMED TO BE IN FAIN. HE WAS GREATLY TROUBLED BUT GOD LOVING REBUKED HIM BACK IN V 1 OF THIS CHAPTER. IN OTHER WORDS HE SAID HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO BE UPSET ABOUT THIS, HOW LONG WILL YOU LIVE WITHOUT TRUSTING GOD IN THIS MATTER. GOD WAS SAYING HOW LONG WILL YOU THINK THAT THIS IS YOUR NATION AND YOUR PEOPLE AND NOT MY NATION AND MY PEOPLE. SO AFTER TAKING CARE OF SAMUEL HE TOLD HIM TO TRAVEL TO BETHLEHEM TO ANOINT A KING THAT HE HAD CHOSE AND TO GO TO JESSE’S HOUSE. SAMUEL HAD TO LEARN THAT GOD WAS IN CONTROL.
AT FIRST SAMUEL DIDN’T WANT TO GO, HE SAID SAUL WOULD KILL HIM, BUT GOD TOLD HIM TO TELL HIM HE WAS GOING TO OFFER A SACRIFICE.
SAMUEL WENT TO JESSE HOUSE AND GOD TOLD HIM THAT ONE OF JESSE’S SONS WOULD BECOME KING OVER ISRAEL. JESSE BROUGHT HIS 7 SON’S BEFORE SAMUEL AND TOLD JESSE THAT IS NOT THE ONE, THEN HE ASK HIM IF HE HAD ANOTHER SON AND HE TOLD HIM YES HE WAS OUT IN THE FIELDS LOOKING OVER THE SHEEP. DAVID’S OWN FATHER DIDN’T THING HE WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE LORD, BUT HIS EYES WHERE OPEN VERY QUICKLY. CAN YOU IMAGE HOW SAMUEL MUST HAVE FELT KNOWING THAT THE OTHER’S HAD NOT BEEN CHOSEN AND NOW HE KNEW THAT IS WAS GOING TO BE DAVID WHOM GOD HAD CHOSEN. WHEN DAVID ARRIVED , SAMUEL HEARD GOD SPEAK THIS IS THE ONE I HAVE CHOSEN AND REACHED INSIDE HIS GARMENT FOR THE ANOINTING OIL AND THEN ANOINTED DAVID TO BE KING OVER ISRAEL AND THE OIL RAN FROM DAVID’S BODY AND DRIPPED TO THE GROUND. DAVID WAS BUT IN HIS TEEN’S PROBABLY AROUND 13 TO 15 YRS OLD AND IT WOULD YEARS BEFORE HE ACTUALLY REIGN AS KING OF ISRAEL. YOU SEE GOD USES PEOPLE WHO OTHER’S OVERLOOK. READ ( 1 COR CH 1 V 26 - 29:For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: ). GOD WORKS IN SUCH A WAY THAT HE GETS THE GLORY, THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD , NOT MEN.
IN CLOSING, MY FRIEND THINK WHAT GOD DID WITH A LITTLE SHEPHERD BOY NAMED DAVID AND HE TO CAN AND WILL DO THAT WITH YOU AN I IF WE WILL JUST LET HIM AS DAVID DID. GOD SAID THIS IN CLOSING: 2 SAM CH 7 V 8 :Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel, WHAT ABOUT YOU ARE YOU READY TO LET GOD USE YOU FOR THE BUILDING OF HIS KINGDOM.
SUNDAY JANUARY 8TH, 2006
THE ISSUE OF ETERNAL SECURITY, OR ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED HAS BEEN A DEBATE GOING ON FOR ALONG TIME, SO I WANT TO ADDRESS THIS USING WHAT GOD’S WORD HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT THRU PAUL’S WRITING’S IN ROMANS CH 5.THERE ARE 6 LINKS IN A UNBREAKABLE CHAIN THAT ETERNALLY BINDS BELIEVER’S TO CHRIST.
1. THERE PEACE WITH GOD ETERNALLY BINDS BELIEVERS TO GOD. IN CH 3 &4 PAUL ESTABLISHED THAT AS BELIEVERS WE HAVE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH AND BY FAITH WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THRU CHRIST JESUS. APART FROM SALVATION THRU CHRIST EVERY HUMAN BEING IS AT ENMITY WITH GOD, SPIRITUALLY AT WAR WITH HIM, JUST AS EVERY PERSON WHO IS SAVED BY FAITH IS AT PEACE WITH HIM .THRU CHRIST, A SINNERS WAR WITH GOD IS ENDED FOR ALL ETERNITY. THE MIND OF EVERY UNSAVED PERSON IS AT PEACE WITH ONLY THE THINGS OF THE FLESH AND THEREFORE IS HOSTILE TOWARD GOD AND CANNOT BE OTHERWISE. ( ROMANS CH 8 V 7 ).
GOD IS ALSO AT WAR WITH THOSE THAT DON’T BELIEVE AND HIS ANGRY IS TOWARD THEM ALL THE TIME ( PSALMS CH 7 V 11 ).THAT ENMITY CANNOT END UNLESS THRU AND BY CHRIST JESUS, EVERY PERSON WHO IS NOT A CHILD OF GOD IS A CHILD OF SATAN ( JOHN CH 8 V 44 ).GOD WRATH IS AGAINST THEM THAT ARE UNGODLY AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS ( ROMANS CH 1 V 18 & EPHESIANS CH 5 V 6 ). BUT ON THE CROSS CHRIST TOOK GODS WRATH TOWARD A SINFUL WORLD AND PLACED IT UPON HIMSELF. ( COLOSSIANS CH 1 V 19 - 22 ).RECONCILIATION WITH GOD BRINGS PEACE AND BECAUSE JESUS LIVES AND MAKES INTERCESSION FOR US WE HAVE JUSTIFICATION. ( HEBREWS CH 7 V 25 & HEBREWS CH 8 V 12 ).WHEN A PERSON EMBRACES CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOUR , HE MAKES THAT PERSON ETERNALLY AT PEACE WITH GOD. CHRIST NOT ONLY BRINGS PEACE BUT HE IS OUR PEACE ( EPHESIANS CH 2 V 14 ). WHEN A PERSON IS SECURE WITH HIS SALVATION THEN HE CAN FOCUS ON SERVING GOD AND CAN SAY AS PAUL DID IN ( ROMANS CH 8 V 38 - 39 ).
2.THE STANDING IN GOD GRACE ETERNALLY BINDS THE BELIEVER TO CHRIST ETERNALLY. BECAUSE OF OUR RECONCILIATION TO GOD THRU CHRIST WE HAVE OBTAINED OUR INTRODUCTION BY FAITH INTO GRACE ( EPHESIANS CH 2 V 18 & CH 3 V 12 ). CHRIST DEATH ENDED ALL THE SCARIFIES OF THE O.T AND IT MADE ACCESS TO GOD THRU CHRIST ( HEBREWS CH 4 V 16 ). ALTHOUGH FAITH IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION, IT IS GOD’S GRACE THAT HAD THE POWER TO SAVE YOU AND TO KEEP YOU SAVED ( PHILIPPIANS CH 1 V 6 & JUDE V 24 & GALATIANS CH 3 V 3 ). BELIEVERS WILL OFTEN FALL INTO SIN BUT THEIR SIN IS NOT MORE POWERFUL THAN GOD’S GRACE ( ROMANS CH 5 V 10 ). IF A DYING SAVIOR COULD BRING US TO GOD’S GRACE, SURELY A LIVING SAVIOR CAN KEEP US IN HIS GRACE ( ROMANS CH 5 V 20 ). I LIKE WHAT PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY IN ( 1 TIMOTHY CH 1 V 12 ), GOD GRACE WILL KEEP US SAVED UNTIL THE DAY OF THE RAPTURE. GOD SAID THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIS SON HAVE EVER LASTING LIFE ( ROMANS CH 8 V 31- 34 ), AND IF GOD SAID IT I BELIEVE IT. THE VERY PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF SALVATION IS TO FREE MEN FROM SIN, NOT TO FREE THEM TO DO IT ( ROMANS CH 6 V 18 ). A CHRISTIANS WHOM CONSISTENTLY SINS PROVES HE DOES NOT BELONG TO THE LORD ( 1 JOHN CH 2 V 19 & 1 JOHN CH 3 V 9 - 10 ). FOR A BELIEVER TO DOUBT HIS SECURITY IS TO BRING INTO QUESTION GOD’S INTEGRITY AND HIS POWER.
3.THE THIRD LINK IN THIS UNBREAKABLE CHAIN THAT ETERNALLY BINDS BELIEVERS TO CHRIST IS THEIR HOPE OF THE GLORY OF GOD. SINCE EVERY ASPECT OF IT IS SOLELY THE WORK OF GOD, SALVATION CANNOT POSSIBLY BE LOST. AND THE END OF THAT MARVELOUS DIVINE WORK IS THE ULTIMATE GLORIFICATION OF EVERY BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST ( ROMANS CH 8 V 29 - 30 ). THE CHRISTIAN HAS NO REASON TO FEAR THE FUTURE AND EVERY REASON TO REJOICE IN IT, BECAUSE HE HAS THE DIVINELY-SECURED HOPE THAT HIS ULTIMATE DESTINY IS TO SHARE IN THE VERY GLORY OF GOD. CHRIST GUARANTEES THE BELIEVERS HOPE BECAUSE HE HIMSELF IS OUR HOPE ( 1 TIMOTHY CH1 V 1 ). A BELIEVERS DOES NOT EARN HIS FUTURE GLORY IN HEAVEN BUT WILL RECEIVE IT FROM GOD’S GRACIOUS HAND, JUST AS HE RECEIVED REDEMPTION WHEN HE FIRST TRUSTED IN CHRIST ( 1 PETER CH 1 V 18 - 21 ).THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALSO HIMSELF A GUARANTEE OF THE BELIEVERS SECURITY ( EPHESIANS CH 1 V 13 - 14 ). OUR GLORIFICATION BEGINS IN PART EVEN IN OUR PRESENT EARTHLY LIFE ( EPHESIANS CH 1 V 13 - 14 ). BECAUSE OUR HUMAN UNDERSTANDING IS SO IMPERFECT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO COMPREHEND THE WONDER AND MAGNITUDE OF THE GLORY OF GOD. WE WILL SHARE GOD’S OWN GLORY BECAUSE WE ARE PREDESTINED TO BECOME CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON ( ROMANS CH 8 V 29 & ROMANS CH 9 V 23 ).
4.THE FOURTH LINK THAT ETERNALLY BINDS THE BELIEVER TO CHRIST ID THEIR POSSESSION OF THE DIVINE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH HAS BEEN POURED OUT WITHIN OUR HEARTS THRU THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN TO US.
WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES SALVATION THRU CHRIST, HE ENTERS A SPIRITUAL LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THAT LASTS THRU OUT ETERNITY.
IN CHRIST WE ARE GIVEN EVIDENCE OF PERMANENT SALVATION, EVIDENCE THAT GOD HIMSELF IMPLANTS WITHIN OUR DEEPEST BEING, IN THAT WE LOVE THE ONE WHO FIRST LOVED US ( 1 JOHN CH 4 V 7 - 10 ). IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE INDWELLING SPIRIT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO TRULY LOVE HIM. OUR SPIRITUAL SECURITY IS NOT IN OUR ABILITY TO LIVE GODLY BUT IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO MAKE US GODLY ( ROMANS CH 8 v 14 ).
IT IS THE SPIRIT THAT MAKES OUR SALVATION REAL TO US ( ROMANS CH 8 V 16 - 17 ).WHEN WE LIVE IN DISOBEDIENCE, WE NOT ONLY WILL NOT FEEL LOVING TOWARD GOD BUT WILL NOT FEEL HIS LOVE FOR US ( EPHESIANS CH 4 V 30 ).THE HOLY SPIRIT STRENGHTENS THE INNER MAN AND ENABLES HIM TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE. GOD IMMENSE LOVE IS SUPREMELY DEMONSTRATED BY CHRIST DYING FOR THE UNGODLY.
5.THE FIFTH LINK THAT ETERNALLY BINDS THEM TO GOD IS THEIR CERTAINTY OF DELIVERANCE FROM GOD’S JUDGMENT ( EPHESIANS CH 2 V 3 ).BECAUSE WE ARE NOW IDENTIFIED WITH CHRIST AND ARE ADOPTED AS GOD’S CHILDREN THRU HIM, WE ARE NO LONGER CHILDREN OF WRATH. THRU HIS ATONING WORK, JESUS DELIVERED US FROM THE WRATH TO COME ( 1 THESS CH 1 V 10 ).IF GOD HAD THE POWER AND THE WILL TO REDEEM US IN THE FIRST PLACE, HOW MUCH MORE DOES HE HAVE THE POWER AND THE WILL TO KEEP US REDEEMED. IT IS A GREATER WORK OF GOD TO BRING SINNERS TO GRACE THAN TO BRING SAINTS TO GLORY, BECAUSE SIN IS FURTHER FROM GRACE THAN GRACE IS FROM GLORY. IF THE DYING SAVIOR RECONCILED US TO GOD, SURELY THE LIVING SAVIOR CAN AND WILL KEEP US RECONCILED.
6.THE SIXTH LINK THAT ETERNALLY BINDS THE BELIEVER TO GOD IS THEIR JOY. THE ABUNDANT JOY THAT GOD GIVES HIS CHILDREN THRU CHRIST JESUS INCLUDES GRATEFUL JOY IN THEIR SALVATION AND SIMPLY IN WHO GOD IS. LISTEN TO DAVID OVER IN ( PSALMS CH 34 V 3 ), HE WAS REJOICING IN THE LORD, ALSO LOOK AT ( PSALMS CH 33 V 21 & PSALMS CH 43 V 4 ).
IN CLOSING, WHERE THESE SIX LINKS BIND THE BELIEVER TO THE LORD, THERE IS TRUE ETERNAL SALVATION AND EVERY REASON FOR FULL ASSURANCE OF IT. IF THE DEVIL CAN TALK YOU OUT OF YOUR SALVATION, THEN YOU NEVER HAD IT TO START WITH, THINK ABOUT THAT. GOD BLESS BRO TIM.
HERE IS SOME HELPFUL SCRIPTURE’S FOR YOU AND I TO READ WHEN CERTAIN PROBLEM’S COME UP IT OUR LIFE’S. GOD BLESS AND I HOPE YOU ARE BLESSED BY THESE SCRIPTURE’S.

11.( 2 COR CH 9 V 6- 8 ).But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:

4.( EPH CH 5 V 21 - 33 ).Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
5.( 1 PETER CH 3 V 1- 7 ).Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
6.( JOSHUA CH 24 V 15 ).And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
7.( LEVITICUS CH 19 V 18 ).Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the LORD.
8.( ROMANS CH 13 V 10 ).Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.
9.( PSALMS CH 101 V 2 ).I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
10.( 1 PETER CH 3 V 8 -11 ).Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
11.( PROVERBS CH 3 V 5 - 6 ).Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
12.( PROVERBS CH 10 V 12 ).Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
13.( 1 PETER CH 1 V 22 ).Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:

12.( ISAIAH CH 49 V 15-16 ).Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of [my] hands; thy walls [are] continually before me.
13.( PSALM CH 43 V 5 ).Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.

5.( 1 COR CH 10 V 13 ).There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].

LOOKING AT THE GREAT TRIBULATION
GOD WILL USE REDEMPTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE WRATH ON EARTH BEFORE JESUS APPEARS AT THE SECOND COMING. THE SEVEN FIRST JUDGMENTS ( SEVEN TRUMPETS ) ARE REDEMPTIVE IN NATURE .GOD MIXES MERCY WITH HIS JUDGMENTS SO MANY PEOPLE WILL CHOOSE SALVATION AND BE REDEEMED, GOD WILL USE REDEMPTIVE JUDGMENTS TO OPEN THE MINDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO CONSIDER A GOSPEL THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING THEY HAVE EVER HEARD. HE WILL USE THE 144,000 JEWS ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT POWER TO PREACH THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL RECEIVE JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR. AFTER 1260 DAYS GOD WILL TERMINATE HIS OFFER OF SALVATION AND HE WILL IMPLEMENT A SECOND TYPE OF WRATH.
THIS WRATH IS CALLED DESTRUCTIVE WRATH ( GEN CH 6 V 5- 7& REV CH 15 V 1 & 16 V 1 - 21 ).WHEN SINFUL BEHAVIOR GOES BEYOND THE POINT OF REDEMPTION, GOD STARTS OVER AS HE DID IN NOAH’S DAY WITH THE GREAT FLOOD. IT DEMONSTRATED THIS TYPE OF WRATH. GOD WILL USE THIS TYPE OF WRATH DURING THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES OR THE SEVEN BOWLS ( REV CH 15 V 1 ).
THE THIRD TYPE OF GOD’S WRATH IS ETERNAL ANNIHILATION.
GOD HAS NEVER USED THIS TYPE OF WRATH ON THE EARTH BEFORE. THIS WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER THE 1000 YRS MILLENNIUM AND AFTER THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT ( REV CH 20 V 11 - 15 ).
( oxygen deficient ) BY SIMPLE BOILING THE OXYGEN OUT OF A LARGE AREA OF THE SEA. THE TEMPERATURE WOULD RISE DRAMATICALLY AND HOT WATER WOULD KILL BILLIONS OF SEA CREATURES IN A VERY LARGE RADIUS AND THEREFOR TURNING THE WATER INTO BLOOD.
IN 2002 THE EXPERTS CALCULATED THE WORLD’S STOCKPILE OF FOOD WOULD LAST ABOUT 45 DAYS, WITHOUT LIGHT THE WORLD WILL BE DOOMED. ANY RAIN THAT FALLS WILL BE SO ACIDIC THAT IT WOULD BE LETHAL TO ALL PLANT AND ANIMAL LIFE, FAMINE WOULD TAKE PLACE, THE GOVERNMENT WOULD DECLARE MARTIAL LAW, THIS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER FOLKS.( READ MATT CH 24 V 21 - 22 )
NOTICE THE QUANTITY OF ONE - THIRD IS USED 12 TIMES THRU THE SEVEN TRUMPETS.
1/3 OF EARTH WILL BE BURNED UP
1/3 OF THE TREES WILL BE BURNED UP
1/3 OF THE SEA WILL TURN INTO BLOOD
1/3 OF THE SEA CREATURES WILL DIE
1/3 OF THE SHIPS ON THE SEA WILL SINK
1/3 OF THE RIVER AND SPRINGS WILL BECOME CONTAMINATED
1/3 OF THE LIGHT FROM THE SUN WILL BE TAKEN AWAY
1/3 OF THE LIGHT FROM THE MOON WILL BE TAKEN AWAY
1/3 OF THE LIGHT FROM THE STARS WILL BE TAKEN AWAY
1/3 OF THE DAY WILL BE WITHOUT LIGHT
1/3 OF THE NIGHT WILL BE WITHOUT LIGHT
1/3 OF MANKIND WILL BE KILLED IN THE 6TH TRUMPET WAR.
TO UNDERSTAND THIS LOOK BACK AT ( DEUT 2 V 34 , CH 3 V 6 &
2 SAM CH 8 V 2 &EZK CH 5 V 12 &ZECH CH 13 V 8- 9 ).
( BABYLON ) ( REV CH 13 V 6 - 8 )THEY WILL URGE ITS RESPECTIVE LAW MAKERS INTO SPONSORING LAWS THAT WILL APPEASE GOD SO AS TO TRY TO GET GOD TO STOP THIS
DESTRUCTION. THE 144,000 WILL SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE VIEWS AND DOCTRINES OF THE RELIGIOUS COALITION ( BABYLON ).THEIR MISSION IS THREE FOLD, 1ST THEY WILL EXPLAIN WHY GOD IS DOING WHAT HE IS DOING, 2ND, THEY WILL EXPLAIN HOW PEOPLE ARE TO WORSHIP GOD, 3RD , THEY WILL ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO STAND ON GOD’S SIDE AND REBEL AGAINST THE MAN- MADE LAWS THAT ARE CONTRARY TO THE LAWS OF GOD.
( DESTROYER ). ALSO READ ( JOEL CH 2 V 1 - 11 ) WHERE IT IS DESCRIBE GOD AND HIS ANGELS AS LOOKING LIKE LOCUSTS.
GOD PERMITS THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS TO APPEAR ON EARTH AFTER A MAJORITY OF THE WORLD HAS HEARD AND REJECTED THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WORSHIP GOD REQUIRES. READ ( 2 THESS 2 V 10 - 12 & ROMANS CH 8 V 7 - 8 ). WHEN THEY HAVE REJECTED GOD’S LAST OFFER FOR SALVATION HE SENDS THEM A POWERFUL DECEPTION AND EMPOWER THE DEVIL TO RULE OVER THE PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE HIS OFFER OF SALVATION. IN A FINALE EFFORT TO BRING REBELLIOUS HUMAN TO THEIR SENSES , GOD WILL EMPOWER THE 144,000 TO PROCLAIM A SPECIAL MESSAGE THRU OUT THE EARTH. THIS MESSAGE IS SO INFLAMMATORY THAT ALL OF THE 144,000 WILL BECOME MARTYRS FOR PREACHING IT. THIS MESSAGE IS ( REV CH 14 V 9- 10 ). THE ISSUE OF WORSHIP WILL BE COMPLETELY RESOLVED AFTER THE DEVIL ARRIVES. THE DEVIL WILL DEMAND WORSHIP AND WILL CLEARLY EXPLAIN WHAT MEN AND WOMEN MUST DO. GOD WILL DO THE SAME THRU HIS 144,000, THE SAINTS WILL SUBMIT TO GOD’S LAW AND THE WICKED WILL SUBMIT TO THE LAW OF THE DEVIL.
SATAN IS GOD THEY WILL DO WHATEVER HE DEMANDS. THIS NEW RELIGION WILL BRING ALL RELIGIONS UNDER THE DIRECT AUTHORITY OF SATAN AND ALL WHO JOIN IT WILL RECEIVE PERMISSION TO BUY AND SELL, THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE ( FOOD , WATER , MEDICINE ), AND THEY WILL RECEIVE A MARK OR TATTOO SHOWING THAT THEY BELONG TO THE ONE TRUE CHURCH ( SATAN’S ). THE SAINTS WILL BE CUT OFF FROM ALL THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE, BUT WILL BE FED AND CARED FOR BY THE ANGELS SENT FROM GOD.
( REV CH 11 V 19 ). HE IS ABOUT TO DESTROY EVERY WICKED PERSON WITH ONE OR MORE OF THE LAST PLAGUES. GOD WANTS THE WICKED TO SEE THAT HIS WRATH IS LEGALLY JUSTIFIED.
THE SEVEN BOWLS WILL BEGIN SHORTLY AFTER GOD REVEALS THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IN THE SKY AND LAST FOR ABOUT 75 DAYS. THE SEVEN BOWLS WILL BE PROGESSIVELY DESTRUCTIVE AND END WITH JESUS APPEARING IN CLOUDS OF GLORY. JESUS WILL KILL THE WICKED BY A COMMAND THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH. ONLY THE SAINTS WHO REMAIN WILL SURVIVE THAT AWSOME DAY. THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES WILL BE A HORRIBLE PAYBACK FOR THE WICKED. THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES CONTAIN GOD’S WRATH WITHOUT MERCY- GOD’S WRATH FULL STRENGTH. GOD WILL REPAY THE WICKED AT THE SAME LEVEL OF CRUELTY THEY DEMONSTRATED TOWARDS GOD’S PEOPLE DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION. REMEMBER THESE SEVEN PLAGUES DO NOT AFFECT GOD’S PEOPLE.
SATAN AND ALL HIS ARMY’S WILL BE DESTROYED AT THIS TIME AND WILL BE PUT INTO PRISON FOR 1000 YRS IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT ( REV CH 20 V 1 - 3 ) AND THEN WILL BE RELEASED FOR A SHORT TIME AFTER THE 1000 YRS FOR A SHORT IN ( REV CH 20 V 7 - 9 ). THEN AFTER THAT TIME HE WILL BE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FOR EVER AND EVER ( REV 20 V 10 ).

( PLAYING WITH GOD )
9-4-05
(
EXODUS CH 12 V 12 & 13 )
I WANT US TO LOOK AT THE PLAGUES THAT FEEL ON PHARAOH AND
EGYPT AND WHEN PHAROAH HARDENED HIS HEART AND REFUSED TO LET
GODS PEOPLE GO AND KEEP PLAYING WITH GOD THERE WAS A PRICE
THAT HAD TO BE PRAYED AND GODS JUDGMENT FEEL ON ALL EGYPT AND
PHAROAH. GOD USED 2 BROTHERS TO DEAL WITH PHAROAH IN MOSES AND
AARON. MOSES WAS 40 YRS OLD AND AARON WAS 43 YS OLD. MOSES DID
NOT TALK TO GOOD SO GOD GAVE HIM AARON TO DO ALL THE TALKING
BEFORE PHAROAH. GOD SENT PLAUES REVEAL TO PHAROAH THAT HE WAS A
GODLESS MAN. LETS LOOK AT THE PLAGUES.
IN ( EXODUS CH 7 V 10 - 13 ) MOSES AND AARON WENT BEFORE
PHAROAH AND AARON CAST DOWN BEFORE HIM HIS ROD AND IT BECAME A
SERPENT AND THEN PHAROAH MAGICIANS DID THE SAME THING BUT
AARON ROD SWALLOWED THE MAGICIANS ROD UP. THIS WAS NOT A SNAKE
BUT A CROCODILE WHICH THE EGYPTIANS WORSHIPED AS A GOD. THE
HEBREW WORD HERE FOR SERPENT IS TANNIN WHICH IS TRANSLATED
HERE MEANING CROCODILE, NO WHERE ELSE IS IT TRANSLATED THAT
WAY .IN EZEKIAL AND ISAIAH SERPENT IS TRANSLATED AS A DRAGON.
SO
YOU WOULD THINK THAT PHAROAH KNEW WHO HE WAS DEALING WITH BUT
WE DO THE SAME THING WITH GOD.
PLAGUES:THE FIRST FOUR PLAGUES WERE DIRECTED AGAINST THE
DIFFERENT GODS , GODDNESSES , AND IDOLS, AND GOD DIRECTS
THE LAST PLAGUES SO THEY WILL WORK A TREMENDOUS HARDSHIP UPON
THE PEOPLE AND THIER STRUGGLE TO STAY ALIVE.
DURING THESE PLAGUES YOU FIND THAT PHAROAH TRYED 4 TIMES TO
COMPROMISE WITH GOD AS DO YOU AND I DO SO MANY TIMES IN OUR
LIFE.
THE FIRST 4 PLAGUES PHAROAH HARDENED HIS OWN HEART AND THE
LAST ONES IT SAYS THAT GOD HARDENED HIS HEART. YOU AND I ARE
JUST LIKE PHAROAH AND WHEN WE DO AS PHAROAH DID
THEN GODS JUDGMENT FALL ON US.
1ST PLAGUE WATER TURNED INTO BLOOD ( EXODUS CH 7 V 17 ).I WANT
YOU TO NOTICE ONE THING THAT PHARAOH MAGICIANS WHERE ABLE TO
DO THE SAME THING BUT THEY COULD NOT TURN THE BLOOD BACK INTO
WATER.
2ND PLAGUE: FROGS ( EXODUS CH 8 V 2 ).THE SAME THING HERE
PHARAOH MAGICIANS CALLED FORTH THE FROGS AS DID AARON BUT
THEY COULD NOT GET THE FROGS TO GO AWAY. ONLY MOSES AND AARON
COULD MAKE THEM GO AWAY BUT PHAROAH WAS PLAYING WITH GOD.
3RD PLAGUE: LICE ( EXODUS CH 8 V 16 ).THIS TIME THE MAGICIANS
TRIED TO DO AS MOSES AND AARON BUT COULD NOT. HEAR I BELIEVE
THAT THIS LICE WAS NOT AS WE THING OF IT TODAY BUT THE LICE
WAS A NAT OR MESQUITES.
4TH PLAGUE :FLIES ( EXODUS CH 8 V 21 ).HERE IS WHERE WE FIND
PHAROAH COMPROMISES WITH GOD. I BELIEVE THIS FLY TO BE A TYPE OF
BEETLES. HE WAS GOING TO LET THEM GO 3 DAYS INTO THE WILDERNESS
AND WORSHIP BUT HAD TO STAY IN THE LAND. ALSO NOTICE HERE THAT
THE OTHER PLAGUES BEFORE THIS ONE AFFECTED EGYPT AND GOSHEN
WHERE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL LIVED BUT STARTING WITH THIS ONE
AND THE REST OF THE PLAGUES WHERE JUST TO EFFECT EGYPT ONLY,
GOSHEN WOULD BE SPARED.
5TH PLAGUE: MURRAIN ( EXODUS CH 9 V 3 )ONLY THE ANIMALS IN
EGYPT DIED THE REST OF THE ANIMALS OF THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL WHERE NOT HURT.
6TH PLAGUE: BOILS ( EXODUS CH 9 V 9 ).I BELIEVE THAT PHAROAH
WAS THE FIRST ONE TO HAVE BOILS AND HIS WISE MEN. THIS PLAGUE
AFFECTS MEN AND BEAST. THIS WAS THE END OF FALSE WORSHIPING
.THE
PRIEST HAD BOILS AND THEY WHERE TO BE CLEAN ,WITHOUT ANY TYPE
OF BREAK OUT OR SICKNESS AND NOW THEY WHERE COVERED WITH BOILS
LIKE EVERYBODY WAS.
7TH PLAGUE: HAIL ( EXODUS CH 9 V 18 )MOSES AND AARON TOLD
PHARAOH IT WAS GOING TO RAIN VERY HEAVY AND HAIL WAS TO COME.I
T RAINS LESS THAN A INCH A YEAR THERE SO THIS SOUNDED
FOOL TO PHAROAH .BUT AFTER THIS HAPPENED WE SEE PHAROAH PLAYING
WITH GOD AGAIN.( V 34 ).
8TH PLAGUE: LOCUSTS ( EXODUS CH 10 V 4 ).THESE LOCUSTS CAME AND
DESTROYED ALL OF THE LAND AND HIS SERVANTS TRY TO REASON WITH
HIM. HE AGAIN TRY COMPROMISING WITH GOD .HE TOLD THEM THAT THE
ADULTS COULD GO INTO THE WILDERNESS AND WORSHIP GOD BUT HAD TO
LEAVE THERE CHILDREN BEHIND SO THEY WOULD COME BACK. HE GOT MAD
BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT HIS COMPROMISE THIS TIME AS
BEFORE.
9TH PLAGUE: DARKNESS ( EXODUS CH 10 V 21 ).EGYPT WAS IN TOTAL
DARKNESS FOR 3 DAYS AND NO ONE SAW EACH OTHER. BUT IT SAYS THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD LIGHT IN THERE DWELLING. AND AFTER THIS
MOSES AND AARON DEALT WITH PHAROAH NO MORE.
( THE GREAT JUDGMENT )THE DEATH OF THE FIRST BORN.( EXODUS CH
11 V 4 & 5 ).
THERE WAS ONE WAY TO THAT GOD WAS GOING TO LOOK OVER YOU IN
THIS JUDGMENT AND IT DID NOT MATTER WITHER YOU WHERE A JEW OR
GENTILE THIS JUDGMENT WAS COMING TO ALL THE LAND. WHAT MADE THE
DIFFERENCE WAS IF THE BLOOD HAD BEEN APPLIED TO THE DOOR POST(
EXODUS CH 12 V 12 & 13 ).GOD SAID THE DEATH ANGLE WOULD
PASS OVER THE HOUSE THAT HAD THIS BLOOD WHICH HAD TO COME FROM
A LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH( EXODUS CH 12 V 5) AND YOU HAD TO WAIT
FOR 4 DAYS BEFORE YOU KILLED IT TO PROVE IT WAS PURE. THEN AT
MIDNIGHT WHEN THE DEATH ANGLE CAME IT PASSED OVER THOSE WHO
HAD THE BLOOD APPLIED TO THERE HOUSE.
MY FRIEND DO YOU HAVE THE BLOOD OF CHRIST APPLIED TO YOUR
HOUSE ( THE BIBLE SAYS ARE BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD), A LOT OF
US ARE JUST LIKE PHAROAH WE PLAY WITH GOD AND WHEN YOU PLAY
WITH GOD THEIR IS A JUDGMENT COMING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ALL
APPEAR AT AND LIKE THAT NIGHT IN PHAROAH DAY WHAT WILL MAKE
THE DIFFERENCE IS IF YOU HAVE THE BLOOD OF CHRIST OVER YOU
DOOR POST. IT SAID THE DEATH ANGLE CAME AT MIDNIGHT AND MY
FRIEND IT IS 11.59 WHAT ARE YOU AND I GOING TO DO? GOD BLESS
YOU
(RESURRECTION OF THE
BODY
8-27-05
( 1 COR CH 15 V 1 - 58 )
IF THERE WAS NO RESURRECTION OF JESUS THEN THE GOSPEL IS
MEANINGLESS AND WORTHLESS. SOME JEWISH MEMBERS OF THE CORINTH
CHURCH DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY. BUT THIS
IS TAUGHT BACK IN THE O.T ( JOB CH 19 V 26 & PSALMS CH 17
V 15 & DAN CH 12 V 2 ).THE GOSPELS AS WE NO THEM HAD NOT
EVEN BEEN WROTE YET ( CHECK YOUR DATES) BUT PAUL TEACHING ON
THIS WAS VERY CLEAR AND WAS KNOWN TO THE CORITHIANS.(1 COR CH
15 ) IS THE ONE CHAPTER THAT DEALS WITH BODILY RESURRECTION
AND ANSWERS THE QUESTION ABOUT IT IN DETAILS.
PAUL ALWAYS MADE SURE THAT THE CORINTHIANS HAD EVERYTHING
KNOWN TO THEM THAT GOD HAD GIVEN HIM. MANY PEOPLE SEEN CHRIST
IN HIS RESURRECTED BODY AS PAUL TALK ABOUT AT THE BEGINNING ON
THE CHAPTER. NOTICE ONE THING WHAT PAUL SAYS IN ( 1 COR 15 V
10 ) THAT GRACE PUTS YOU AND I TO WORK FOR GOD IT MAKES US THE
TYPE OF CHRISTIAN YOU ARE TODAY, HE SAID BY GRACE I AM
WHAT I AM AND BECAUSE OF IT I LABOR FOR CHRIST JESUS.
NOW LOOK AT WHAT PAUL SAYS IN (V 13 - 19 ).THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU AND I . HE
SAYS IN A NUT SHELL IF JESUS WAS NOT RESURRECTED THEN YOU AND
ME FRIEND ARE STILL LOST AND ON OUR WAY TO HELL.( V 17 ). HERE
ARE 7 CONSEQUENCE IF THE RESURRECTION DIDN'T TAKE PLACE.
1. CHRIST IS DIED, NOT ALIVE.
2.OUR FAITH IN CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR IS WORTHLESS.
3. PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL IS MEANINGLESS.
4.ALL WITNESSES TO AND ALL PREACHERS OF THE RESURRECTION WOULD
BE NOTHING BUT LIARS.
5.ALL MEN WOULD STILL BE IN THEIR SINS AND LOST.
6.ALL THOSE WHO DIED BELIEVING IN CHRIST WOULD HAVE NO HOPE .
7.CHRISTAINS WOULD BE THE MOST MISERABLE PEOPLE ON THE EARTH.
BUT PRAISE GOD HE DID RESURRECT THAT MORNING AND IS ALIVE AND
IN HEAVEN.
THEN PAUL DISCUSSES 3 ASPECTS OF THE RESURRECTION.
1.THE REDEEMER
2.THE REDEEMED
3.THE RESTORATION
(THE REDEEMER ) ( 1 COR CH 15 V 20-22 ). THREE MANY PEOPLE IN
THE O.T AND N.T THAT DIED BUT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE BUT
THEY DIED AGAIN BUT JESUS BECAME THE FIRST ONE TO DIE AND COME
BACK TO LIFE TO NEVER DIE AGAIN. HE WAS THE FIRST FRUITS .IN
ADAM IS SIMPLY TO BE HUMAN, TO HAVE BEEN BORN ONCE. IN CHRIST IS
TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, TO BE BORN AGAIN .IN ADAM WE INHERITED A
SIN NATURE BUT WITH CHRIST WE INHERITED ETERNAL LIFE.
(THE REDEEMED ) ( 1 COR CH 15 V 23 ). CHRIST HARVESTED ALL
THOSE WHO BELIEVED. BUT THE HARVEST WILL BE IN 3 STAGES.
1. THOSE WHO DIED BETWEEN PENTECOST AND THE RAPTURE (1
THESS CH 4 V 16)
2. THOSE WHO DIED THRU THE TRIBULATION ( REV CH 20 V 4 )
3. THEN THE RESURRECTION OF THE O.T SAINTS ( DAN CH 12 V 2
& ISA CH 26 V 19 -20 ).
(THE RESTORATION ) ( 1 COR CH 15 V 24 - 28 ). CHRIST WILL USE
THE 1000YRS TO SET EVERYTHING IN PLACE SO AT THE END HE WILL
BE ABLE TO DELIVER THE KINGDOM UP TO THE FATHER AND ETERNITY
WILL START. ( PSALMS CH 8 V 6 ).
LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT ( V 29 ) MEANS. NO ONE IS SAVED BY
BAPTISM, A PERSON DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED TO BE A
CHRISTIAN, BUT HAS TO BE BAPTIZED TO BE An OBEDIENT CHRISTIAN.
IN THE EARLY CHURCH A PERSON WHO WAS SAVED WAS ASSUMED TO HAVE
BEEN BAPTIZED AND A PERSON WAS NOT BAPTIZED UNLESS THE CHURCH
WAS SATISFIED HE WAS SAVED. TO ASK, THEN IF A PERSON WAS
BAPTIZED, WAS EQUIVALENT TO ASKING IF HE WAS SAVED.
(V 30 - 32 ). WHAT WOULD BE THE PURPOSE OF SUFFERING FOR
CHRIST ID WE WOULD NEVER SEE HIM FACE TO FACE. WHAT ABOUT
WINNING OTHER PEOPLE TO THE LORD, SPREADING THE GOSPEL,
SUFFERING THRU THIS LIFE, BEING MADE FUN OF, BEING MISERABLE,
PAUL SAYS WHAT IS THE USE IF CHRIST BE NOT RAISED.
(V 33 -34 ). LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RESURRECTION SHOULD LEAD
US TO MORE GODLY LIVING AND SPIRITUAL MATURITY. PEOPLE WHO
THINK WRONGLY BEHAVE WRONGLY. WRONG BEHAVIOR COMES FROM WRONG
THINKING, FROM WRONG BELIEF AND WRONG STANDARDS. THOSE WHO
BELIEVED IN THE RESURRECTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEADING THOSE
WHO DID NOT INTO A TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.( EH CH 4 V 29 &
2 TIM CH 2 V 16 & 17 & ROMANS CH 13 V 11 )
( V 35 ). 2 QUESTION ASKED.
1.HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED?
2.WHAT KIND OF BODY DO THEY HAVE?
PAUL ANSWER THE QUESTION OF V 35 IN 4 DIFFERENT WAYS.
1. HE GIVES An ILLUSTRATION FROM NATURE.
2. HE TELLS WHAT KIND OF BODY RESURRECTED BODIES WILL BE.
3.HE CONTRAST BETWEEN EARTHY AND RESURRECTION BODIES.
4. HE REMINDS THEM OF THE PROTOTYPE RESURRECTION, WHICH WAS
CHRIST.
(V 36 -38 ). IN (JOHN CH 12 V 24 ), CHRIST HAD TO DIE FIRST
BEFORE HE COULD BEAR THE FRUIT OF SALVATION. WHEN HE DIED HE
CEASED TO EXIST AS AN EARTHLY BODY. WHEN HE WAS RAISED HIS
BODY WAS RADICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE WHICH DIED. HE WAS
NO LONGER LIMITED BY TIME, SPACE, MATERIAL SUBSTANCE. AS WITH
THE BODY YOU AND I RECEIVE AT THE RAPTURE. BUT JESUS WAS
DIFFERENT AND STILL THE SAME AS BEFORE, HE WAS STILL
RECOGNIZED AS JESUS.
( V 39 - 42 ). PAUL SAYS ALL FLESH IN NOT THE SAME FLESH, YOU
HAVE THE FLESH OF MAN, BEAST, BIRDS, FISH. THEN HE GOES ON TO
THE HEAVENLY BODIES WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE RESURRECTED
BODIES AND USE THE SUN, MOON, STARS .RESURRECTED BODIES WILL
DIFFER FROM EARTHLY BODIES AND WILL BE AS INDIVIDUAL AND
UNIQUE AS ARE ALL THE OTHER FORMS OF GODS CREATION. WILL I
HAVE THE SAME BODY SUCH AS I DID HERE ON EARTH WHEN I RECEIVE
MY GLORIFIED BODY? yes, BUT IT WILL BE A SPIRITUAL TYPE OF
FLESH NOT THIS OLD SIN FLESH. LOOK AT MOSES AND ELIJAH ON THE
MT OF TRANSFIGURATION, THEY DID NOT HAVE RESURRECTED BODIES
BUT WHERE LIVING IN HEAVEN AS THE SAME PERSON THEY WHERE ON
THE EARTH .BUT ONE DAY THEY WILL RECEIVE A SPIRITUAL BODY THAT
WILL BE AS UNIQUELY THEIRS AS OUR WILL BE.
( V 42 - 44 ).THE GLORIFIED BODIES WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM OUR
EARTHLY BODIES.4 CONTRAST BETWEEN THE 2 BODIES ARE.
1. PERISHABLE/ IMPERISHABLE
2. DISHONOR / GLORY
3. WEAKNESS / POWER
4. NATURAL / SPIRITUAL
(V 45 - 49 ). CHRIST IS THE PROTOTYPE OF THE RESURRECTION.
ADAM WAS THE PROTOTYPE OF OUR NATURAL BODIES. CHRIST IS THE
PROTOTYPE OF OUR SPIRITUAL BODIES.
(V 50 - 58 ). IN CHRIST THE STING OF DEATH IS TAKEN AWAY, NOT
DEATH ITSELF BUT THE STING OF DEATH, THE HURT OF DEATH. THE
STING OF DEATH IS SIN, THE HARM IN DEATH IS CAUSED BY SIN,
DEATH ITSELF IS CAUSED BY SIN AND THE POWER OF SIN IS THE LAW.
GOD LAW REVEALS GODS STANDARDS AND WHEN THEY ARE BROKEN
THEY REVEAL MAN SINS.( ROMANS CH 4 V 15 ).
BECAUSE OF JESUS PERFECT OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW (ROMANS CH 5 V
19 ) AND THE SATISFACTION HE MADE FOR ITS VICTIMS, THOSE WHO
TRUST IN HIM ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE HAVING BEEN
RELEASED FROM THE LAW.( ROMANS CH 6 V 14 & CH 7 V 6 ).
JESUS HAS BOTH FULFILLED THE LAW AND FULFILLED RIGHTEOUSNESS.
BECAUSE HIS LIFE WAS SINLESS AND THEREFORE FULFILLED THE LAW
HIS DEATH CONQUERED SIN AND THE GRAVE.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS LESSON, GOD BLESS

PREPARE YOUR HEARTS TO
WORSHIP)
8-21-05
(1 KINGS CH 8 V 54 - 61 & I KINGS CH 9 V 3 & 4 )
WE SAY WE COME TO CHURCH FOR ONE THING AND THAT IS TO WORSHIP
GOD.LET ME ASK YOU An IMPORTANT QUESTION, DO YOU AND I KNOW
HOW TO WORSHIP GOD? I "M AFRAID MOST OF US DO NOT KNOW
HOW TO WORSHIP GOD. LETS LOOK BACK IN THE O.T AND SEE HOW
DAVID AND SOLOMON WORSHIP GOD. KING DAVID HAD I DESIRE IN HIS
HEART TO BUILT A TEMPLE UNTO THE LORD
(1 CHRON CH 17 V 1 - 6 & 2 SAMUEL CH 7 V 1 - 3 ) BUT WHEN
IT CAME TIME TO DO THIS GOD TOLD DAVID HE WOULD NOT LET HIM
BUILD THE TEMPLE (2 CHRON CH 6 V 7 - 9 & 1 KINGS CH 8 V 17
- 19 ).WHY DID GOD NOT ALLOW DAVID TO DO THIS THING WHICH
DAVID HAD PURPOSED IN HIS HEART TO DO FOR GOD? (1 CHRON CH 22
V 8 - 10 ) .THE LORD WOULD NOT ALLOW DAVID TO BUILD THIS
TEMPLE BECAUSE HE SHED GREAT BLOOD, HE WAS A MAN OF WAR AND
GODS DWELLING PLACE WAS TO BE A PLACE OF PEACE AND REFUGE AND
DAVID WAS NOT LIKE THAT, SO GOD TOLD HIM THAT HIS SON WOULD
BUILD THE TEMPLE ( 1 CHRON CH 22 V 8 & 2 CHRON CH 6 V 9
).HIS SON WAS NAMED SOLOMON WHICH MEANS PEACEABLE. HE WAS THE
SECOND SON OF DAVID AND BATH-SHEBA AND WAS THE 3RD KING OF
ISRAEL AND REIGNED OVER ISRAEL FOR 40 YRS AND WAS ALSO KNOWN
AS JEDIDAIH WHICH MEANS BELOVED OF JEHOVAH. AS DAVID WAS
FIXING TO DIE THERE WAS A STRUGGLE FOR THE THRONE BETWEEN
DAVID OLDEST SON ADONIJAH AND SOLOMON BUT DAVID HAD PROMISED
THE THRONE TO SOLOMON AND IN (1 KINGS CH 2 V 1 - 9 ) DAVID
CHARGE SOLOMON ABOUT HIM TAKING OVER AS KING AND TOLD HIM WHAT
HE NEEDED TO KNOW TO BE KING AND IN (I KINGS CH 2 V 10 ) DAVID
DIED. SOLOMON STARTED AT AS A GREAT KING BECAUSE HE DID ONE
THING IN THAT HE ASK GOD FOR WISDOM (1 KINGS CH 3 V 5 - 15 )
AND GOD GAVE SOLOMON GREAT WISDOM (1 KINGS CH 4 V 29 ).AND
SOLOMON AS DID HIS FATHER DAVID PURPOSED IN HIS HEART TO BUILT
THE TEMPLE FOR THE LORD AND SO THAT THE ARK OF THE COVENT
COULD BE KEEP IN IT. SO IN (1 KINGS CH 5 & 2 CHRON CH 2) HE
PREPARES TO BUILT THE TEMPLE AND THEN STARTS BUILDING THE
TEMPLE IN ( 2 CHRON CH 3 & 1 KINGS CH 6 ). THIS TEMPLE WAS
TO BE BUILT ON MT MORIAH AND ALL THE MATERIALS USED TO BUILT
THE TEMPLE WAS COLLECTED BY SOLOMON FATHER DAVID (1 CHRON CH
22 V 2 - 4 ).THE TEMPLE WAS FT 90 LONG, FT 30 WIDE, FT 45
HIGH. IT TOOK 7 YRS TO BUILT THIS TEMPLE WITH OVER 70,000
LABOURS. AFTER THE TEMPLE WAS FINISHED SOLOMON BROUGHT THE ARK
OF THE COVENANT FROM THE CITY OF DAVID IN (22 CHRON CH 5 &
1 KINGS CH 8 ) AND BROUGHT INTO THE TEMPLE BEFORE THE ELDER OF
ISRAEL AND THE CHIEFS OF FATHERS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
THE
ARK HAD IN IT THE 10 COMMANDMENT ( 1 KINGS CH 8 V 9 ) AND THEN
SOLOMON GAVE A GREAT SERMON IN (I KINGS CH 8 V 12 - 21 & 2
CHRON CH 6 V 1 - 11 ). THEN SOLOMON GAVE A PRAYER OF
DEDICATION TO THE LORD FOR THE TEMPLE IN (I KINGS CH 8 V 22
-53 & 2 CHRON CH 6 V 12 - 42 ). AFTER THE SERMON SOLOMON
BLESSED THE CONGREGATION AND TOLD THEM HOW THEY MUST WORSHIP
THE LORD.( I KINGS CH 8 V 54 - 61 ). PLEASE NOTE WHAT HE TOLD
THEM IN (I KINGS CH 8 V 57 - 61 ) ON HOW THEY WHERE TO WORSHIP
GOD BY PURPOSING IN THEIR HEARTS AND BY WALKING IN HIS
WAYS AND KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN
COME AND WORSHIP GOD.
THEN GOD CAME TO SOLOMON IN (I KINGS CH 9 V 1 - 9 & 2
CHRON CH 7 V 12 - 22 ) AND HE WAS PLEASED WITH WHAT SOLOMON
HAD DONE. GOD APPROVED OF WHAT SOLOMON HAD DONE IN ( 1 KINGS CH
9 V 1 - 3 ), IS GOD PLEASED WITH WHAT YOU AND I HAVE DONE FOR
HIM THIS WEEK SO WHEN COME INTO HIS TEMPLE (THE CHURCH) HE IS
PLEASED WITH US? WHEN YOU AND I HAVE THE DESIRE IN OUR HEARTS
LIKE DAVID AND SOLOMON, WE HAVE PURPOSED IN OUR HEARTS THAT WE
ARE PREPARING ourselves TO COME INTO GOD TEMPLE AND TO COME
AND WORSHIP HIM THEN HE WILL AS HE DID IN ( 2 CHRON CH 7 V 1-
3 ) SEND DOWN THE FIRE (WHICH I BELIEVE IS A REPRESENTATION OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT) AND HIS GLORY WILL FILL THE CHURCH HOUSE AND
THE BELIEVER AND WE WILL AS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN (2 CHRON
CH 7 V 3 ) BOW ourselves BEFORE THE LORD AND FALL ON OUR FACES
TO THE GROUND AND THEN WE WILL TRULY KNOW WHAT IT IS TO
WORSHIP GOD IN CHURCH. LOOK AT (2 CHRON CH 7 V 12 ) IT SAYS
GOD CHOSE THAT TEMPLE TO PUT HIS NAME UPON IT FOR A HOUSE OF
SACRIFICE, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION HAS GOD DONE THAT AT THE
PLACE YOU GO TO CHURCH AT? IF NOT THERE IS A REASON WHY
BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE NOT PREPARED OUR HEARTS TO COME AND
WORSHIP GOD, WE HAVE NOT PURPOSED IN OUR HEARTS TO HUMBLE
ourselves AND SEEK HIS FACE AND TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS (2
CHRON CH 7 V 14 ) AND UNTIL WE DO THEN THE GLORY OF THE LORD
WILL NOT FILL THE CHURCH HOUSE AND WILL NOT FILL YOU THE
BELIEVER SO YOU CAN WORSHIP HIM. MY FRIEND WORSHIPPING GOD
DOES NOT HAPPEN JUST ON SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY THIS IS SOMETHING
WE DO 24/7 AND IT MUST START AT YOUR HOUSE WITH PRAYER AND
READING AND STUDYING YOUR BIBLE AND PREPARING YOURSELF TO COME
AND BE READY TO WORSHIP GOD. HE SAID WHEN WE DO THIS THEN HE
SAID WE WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND HE WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS
(2 CHRON CH 7 V 14 ). LOOK WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN WE DO THIS IN
(2 CHRON CH 7 V 15 - 17 ), HIS EYES SHALL BE OPEN AND HIS EARS
WILL HEAR TO THE PRAYER MADE IN THAT PLACE. BUT GOD TELLS US
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE DO NOT DO THIS AS HE HAS COMMANDED IN
(2 CHRON CH 7 V 22 ). IT IS TIME WE QUIT PLAYING AROUND WITH
GOD THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU AND I. SOLOMON FOUND THIS
OUT LATER WITH HE LET IDIOLITRY COME INTO THE KINGDOM AND
WORSHIPED OTHER GODS. THIS WAS THE THING THAT SEPARATED
SOLOMON FROM HIS FATHER DAVID, DAVID SINNED AGAINST GOD BUT
ALWAYS ASK FORGIVENESS AND DAVID NEVER WORSHIP OTHER GODS BUT
THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD, SOLOMON STARTED OUT WITH GOOD
INTENTIONS BUT HE GOT AWAY FROM GOD AND A LOT OF US DO THE
SAME THING.
IN CLOSING PURPOSE IN YOUR HEART THIS WEEK AND PREPARE IN YOUR
HEART TO WORSHIP GOD AND BE AS THE ARMY SAYS ALL YOU CAN BE
FOR GOD. AND THAT MEANS DOING SOMETHING FOR GOD EVER DAY OF
THE WEEK BY READING , PRAYING ,STUDYING , AND WITNESSES ,BE
WHAT YOU CLAIM TO BE , A CHRISTIAN, GOD BLESS

( THE HOLY SPIRIT
)
8-14-05
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WHAT ENABLES US TO BE A CHRISTIAN, A LOT OF
PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE CHRISTIANS BUT ONE THING IS MISSING IN
THEIR LIFE AND THAT IS THE PRESENTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD HAVING TOTAL CONTROL OF
YOUR LIFE YOU CANNOT BE THAT PERSON WHOM GOD CAN USE. LETS LOOK
AT THIS PERSON CALLED THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YES HE IS A PERSON.
HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT ENABLE YOU TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
IN THIS SINFUL WORLD? ( ACTS CH 1 V 8 ).BY RECEIVING POWER SO
WE CAN BE A WITNESS TO THIS LOST AND DYING WORLD. THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS NOT JUST A POWER, BUT IS A PERSON WHO HAS A MIND
,WILL , AND EMOTION JUST AS YOU AND I DO.( 1 COR CH 2 V 9 - 11
) & ( ROMANS CH 15 V 30 ).THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS THE
CHRISTIAN LIVE VICTORIOUSLY AND WITNESS EFFECTIVELY AND YOU
AND I MUST UNDERSTAND HOW HE WORKS IN OUR LIFE.
WHAT ARE 3 THINGS THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES THE LIVES OF LOST
PEOPLE?( JOHN CH 16 V 8 - 11 ).
1.SAVES THEM FROM THEIR SINS
2.GIVES THEM RIGHTEOUSNESS
3.SAVES THEM FROM GODS JUDGMENT
HERE IS 7 THINGS THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES IN THE LIFE OF A
CHRISTIAN.
1.HE INDWELLS WITH THEM ( 1 COR CH 6 V 19 )
2.GIVES THEM A NEW LIFE ( JOHN CH 3 V 6 )
3.HE SEALS THEM ( EPH CH 4 V 30 )
4.HE TEACHES THEM TRUTH ( JOHN CH 16 V 13 )
5.HE LEADS THEM IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD GO ( ROMANS CH 8 V 14 )
6.HE GIVES THEM ASSURANCE OF THEIR SALVATION ( ROMAN CH 8 V 16
)
7.HE BAPTIZES THEM INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST ( 1 COR CH 12 V 12
- 14 )
THE GREATEST MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS HE BRINGS GOD
GLORY TO YOU AND I SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND IN THIS FLESH BODY.(
JOHN CH 16 V 14 ).
GOD GIVES A COMMAND TO EVERY BELIEVER ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
CONCERNING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE
BELIEVER.
READ ( EPH CH 5 V 18 ).WE ARE TO BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT ALL
THE TIME.
IN THE O.T THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKED DIFFERENT THAN HE WORKS IN
THE N.T. IN THE O.T HE WORKED AS A COME AND GO
MINISTRY , HE WOULD COME DOWN AND AFTER HE DID THE JOB HE
WOULD LEAVE ( JUDGES CH 6 V 34 & 1 SAM CH 16 V 14 &
JUDGES CH 11 V 29 & PSA CH 51 V 11 ) BUT IN THE N.T HE
CAME TO STAY AND INDWELL IN THE BELIEVER .MANY PEOPLE WHERE
FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. PETER( ACTS CH 4 V 8 ) BELIEVERS (
ACTS CH 4 V 31 ) STEPHEN ( ACTS CH 7 V 55 ) PAUL ( ACTS CH 9 V
17 & ACTS CH 13 V 9 ).
THE BIBLE TEACHES THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO BE A EFFECTIVE
CHRISTIAN AND THAT IS TO BE SPIRIT CONTROLLED ( ZECH CH 4 V 6
).THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT THE 9 FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT IN ( GAL
CH 5 V 22 - 23 ),BUT YOU AND I AS CHRISTIANS MUST BE SPIRIT
CONTROLLED BEFORE WE WILL EVER OBTAIN THIS 9 FRUITS.
1.LOVE --THIS IS THE DIVINE LOVE, AN ATTRIBUTE OF THE
INDWELLING GOD ( 1 JOHN CG 4 V 16 & 1 COR CH 13 ).
2.JOY--NOT THE SO-CALLED HAPPINESS OF THE WORLD BUT DEEP, DEEP
GLADNESS.( PHIL CH 4 V 4 ).
3.PEACE--THIS IS THE PEACE OF GOD THAT SATISFIES THE SOUL
COMPLETELY ( COL CH 3 V 15 ).
4.LONGSUFFERING--( PATIENCE )-THE NATURAL MAN IS IMPATIENT,
CHRISTIANS ARE JUST THE OPPOSITE.
5.GENTLENESS--( KINDNESS OR GRACIOUSNESS ) JESUS WAS KNOWN BY
HIS GRACIOUSNESS.
6.GOODNESS--( BENEVOLENCE ).THIS VIRTUE MAKES THE CHRISTIAN
FULL OF GOOD WORKS.
7.FAITH--( FAITH FULNESS). HE IS DEPENDABLE AND CAN BE RELIED ON
AT ALL TIMES.
8.MEEKNESS( MILDNESS OF TEMPER ).HE IS HUMBLE, PARTICULARLY TRUE
OF US ( 2 TIMOTHY CH 2 V 25 ).
9.TEMPERANCE ( SELF CONTROL ).MODERATE IN DRINK ,APPETITE
,DRESS ,HABIT, FASHION.
THESE 9 ARE ALL OPPOSITE OR CONTRARY TO THE FILTHY NATURAL
WORKS OF THE FLESH. THESE NINE GRACES WERE BEAUTIFULLY
PORTRAYED IN CHRIST FOR HE WAS SPIRIT FILLED. SO WE CALL OUR
SELF CHRISTIANS DO YOU AND I SEE THESE THING PRESENT IN OUR
CHRISTIAN LIFE THAT IS THE QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK OURSELF?
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS STUDY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD BLESS

( THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
)
8-5-05
( JOHN CH 20 V 22) ( RECEIVED) & ( ACTS CH 1 V 5) (
BAPTIZED )
MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME ON THE DAY OF
PENTECOST AND IT DID BUT WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS
THAT JESUS GAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THE DISCIPLES BACK IN
( JOHN CH 20 V 22 ).AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THIS, HE BREATHED ON
THEM AND SAITH UNTO THEM , RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST. WE
MUST UNDERSTAND BEFORE JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS AND THEN 3 DAYS
LATER WAS RESURRECTED THAT THE PLAN OF SALVATION WAS NOT PUT
INTO EFFECT, THE DISCIPLE WHERE NOT SAVED UNTIL AFTER THE
RESURRECTION AND I BELIEVE THAT HAPPEN IN JOHN CH 20 V 22.
SOME WILL SAY THEY GOT SAVED ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST BUT ON
THAT DAY THEY WHERE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT ( ACTS CH 1
V 5 ).ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST THE DISCIPLES WENT FROM A
DISCIPLE TO AN APOSTLE, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE YOU SAY, WELL A
DISCIPLE IS ONE WHO FOLLOWS OR LEARNER AND A APOSTLE MEANS
MESSENGER OR MISSIONARY. IN JOHN CH 20 V 22 THEY RECEIVED THE
HOLY SPIRIT BUT ON PENTECOST THEY WHERE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY
IN ( ACTS CH 2 V 4 ).AT PENTECOST THE DISCIPLES BECAME APOSTLE
AND WHERE EMPOWERED THRU THE BAPTIZING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT SO
THEY COULD ACCOMPLISH THEIR TASKS.
AT PENTECOST THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL WHO
BELIEVED IN JESUS. THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MUST BE
UNDERSTOOD IN THE LIGHT OF HIS TOTAL WORK IN CHRISTIANS.
WE CANNOT BELONG BELONG TO CHRIST WITHOUT HIS SPIRIT ( ROMANS
CH 8 V 9 )
WE CANNOT BE UNITED TO CHRIST WITHOUT HIS SPIRIT ( 1 COR CH 6
V 17 )
WE CANNOT BE ADOPTED AS HIS CHILDREN WITHOUT HIS SPIRIT (
ROMANS CH 8 V 14 - 17 & GAL CH 4 V 6 & 7.
WE CANNOT BE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST EXCEPT BY BAPTISM IN THE
SPIRIT ( 1 COR CH 12 V 13 ).
THE SPIRIT IS THE POWER OF OUR NEW LIVES. HE BEGINS A LIFELONG
PROCESS OF CHANGE AS WE BECOME MORE LIKE CHRIST.( GAL CH 3 V 3
& PHIL CH CH 1 V 6
WHEN WE RECEIVE CHRIST BY FAITH WE BEGIN AN IMMEDIATE PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKS IN US TO HELP US
BECOME LIKE CHRIST.( JOHN CH 14 V 26 ) SAYS BUT THE COMFORTER,
WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME,
HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS AND BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE, WHATSOEVER
I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU.
THE SPIRIT UNITES THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IN CHRIST( EPH CH 2
V 19 - 22 ).THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE EXPERIENCED BY ALL AND
WORKS THRU ALL.( 1 COR CH 12 V 11 & EPH CH 4 V 4 ).DURING
JESUS YEARS OF MINISTRY ON EARTH WHEN HE WOULD TALK ABOUT THE
KINGDOM THE DISCIPLES THOUGH HE MEANT A EARTHLY KINGDOM BUT
JESUS MEANT THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM THAT WAS TO BE ESTABLISHED
IN THE HEARTS OF THE BELIEVERS. WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE
BAPTIZING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON PENTECOST THEN THEY UNDERSTOOD
WHAT JESUS WAS REFERRING TO.
WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN WE ACCEPT CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR
BUT IT IS UP TO YOU AND I IF WE WANT TO RECEIVE THE BAPTIZING
POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. RECIEVING AND BEING BAPTIZED IN THE
SPIRIT OF GOD IS 2 DIFFERENT THINGS. THIS BAPTIZING HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH WATER. YOU HAVE TO RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD
BEFORE YOU CAN BE BAPTIZED WITH THE SPIRIT.( ACTS CH 2 V 41
).THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKE YOU THE TYPE OF CHRISTIAN YOU ARE. NOW
THE QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIANS ARE YOU?
GOD BLESS AND I HOPE THIS HAS ENLIGHTEN YOU ON THE WORK OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT AND HOW HE SO IMPORTANT TO YOU AND I. GOD BLESS

( LUKE CH 24 V 16 & JOHN CH 20 V 14 & JOHN CH 21 V 4 )
( 7-30-05)
( THEY KNEW NOT IT WAS JESUS )
WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT 3 DIFFERENT OCCASION WHEN JESUS
APPEARED TO MARY MAGDALENE AND THE 2 DISCIPLES ON THE EMMAUS
ROAD AND THEN TO THE 7 SEVEN DISCIPLES AT THE SEA OF TIBERIAS
AND WHEN THEY WHERE FACE TO FACE WITH JESUS THE BIBLE SAYS
THEY KNEW NOT IT WAS JESUS. HAVE YOU EVER ASK YOURSELF WHY
THESE PEOPLE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS JESUS? THAT IS WHAT WE ARE
GOING TO LOOK AT IN THIS STUDY.
1ST LETS LOOK AT MARY MAGDALENE ( JOHN CH 20 V 14 ).MARY HAD
WENT TO THE SEPULCHER BUT SHE DID NOT EXPECT OR DID SHE
BELIEVE WHEN SHE GOT THEIR SHE WOULD FIND JESUS GRAVE EMPTY. AFTER
SHE TOLD PETER AND JOHN AND THEY ALSO CAME AND LOOKED IN AND
SEEING JESUS GONE ,PETER AS DID MARY DID NOT BELIEVE WHAT
JESUS HAD TOLD THEM ABOUT HIS RESURRECTION, BUT JOHN DID LOOK
AT ( JOHN CH 20 V 8 ).AND LET ME SAY WHY DID JOHN BELIEVE? BECAUSE
AT THAT MOMENT JOHN GOT SAVED JUST LIKE YOU AND I DID BECAUSE
HE WENT FROM DEALING WITH JESUS IN THE FLESH TO DEALING WITH
JESUS IN THE SPIRIT. SALVATION HAD WENT INTO EFFECT WITH
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. ALL OF THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS
BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION WHERE NOT SAVED SO THEY HAD TO ACCEPT
WHAT HE DID ON THE CROSS JUST AS YOU AND I DID. JOHN IT SAYS
IN V 8 THAT HE SAW AND BELIEVED. PETER DID NOT ALONG WITH MARY, BUT
MARY TIME WAS CLOSE AT HAND. PETER AND JOHN LEFT AND WENT HOME
BUT MARY STOOD OUTSIDE THE GRAVE AND THEN SHE THOUGHT SHE SAW
THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TOOK JESUS AWAY BUT IT WAS THE 2 ANGLES IN
V 12 AND THEN IN V 14 SHE TURN AROUND AND CAME FACE TO FACE
WITH A MAN SHE THOUGH WAS THE GARDENER BUT IS WAS JESUS AND IT
SAID SHE KNEW NOT IT WAS JESUS. AND JESUS WHEN HE CALLED TO
MARY BY NAME THAT VERY MOMENT I BELIEVE MARY ACCEPTED CHRIST
AS HER SAVIOR, SHE SAID RABBONI WHICH MEANS MASTER. READ (
JOHN CH 10 V 3 ) IT SAYS THE SHEEP HEAR HIS VOICE AND HE
CALLETH HIS OWN SHEEP BY NAME AND LEADETH THEM OUT. MARY WAS
DEALING ON A FLESHLY LEVEL AND THAT'S IS WHY SHE DID NOT KNOW
IT WAS JESUS BUT AS SOON AS JESUS CALLED HER NAME SHE WAS
SAVED AND DEALT WITH JESUS IN THE SPIRIT NATURE OF HIS
RESURRECTED BODY. AND SHE KNEW HIM.
2ND LETS LOOK AT THE 2 DISCIPLES ON THE EMMAUS ROAD ( LUKE CH
24 V 16 ), IT SAYS THEIR EYES WERE HOLDEN THAT THEY SHOULD NOT
KNOW HIM. HERE THESE 2 DISCIPLES WHERE ON THE ROAD HOME FROM
JERUSALEM WHICH WAS A 7 MILES WALK AND JESUS APPEARED ON THE
ROAD WITH THEM AND WALK WITH THEM AND THEY WHERE TALKING ABOUT
JUST WHAT HAD HAPPENED IN JERUSALEM. THEY BELIEVED THAT JESUS
WAS A PROPHET ( LOOK AT V 19 ) AND HE WAS GOING TO REDEEM
ISRAEL BUT NOW HE WAS DIED AND IT WAS OVER, THEY DID NOT
BELIEVE THAT HE WAS THE MESSIAH AND WOULD RAISE IN 3 DAYS, BUT
HERE HE WAS WITH THEM WALKING BESIDE OF THEM AND THEY DID NO
IT WAS JESUS, SO JESUS USED SOMETHING ON THEM THAT HE USED ON
US WHEN WE GOT SAVED ,THE WORD OF GOD ( LOOK IN V 27 ).(
HEBREWS CH 4 V 12 )SAYS THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK AND POWERFUL
AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD SO JESUS USED THAT ON
THEM AND AS THEIR JOURNEY WAS COMING TO A CLOSE THEY ASK JESUS
TO COME AND DINE WITH THEM AND THEN JESUS IN V 30 TOOK BREAD
AND BLESSED IT AND BRAKE IT AND GAVE TO THEM JUST AS HE HAD AT
THE LAST SUPPER AND AT THAT MOMENT A BELIEVE THAT THEY GOT
SAVED BECAUSE V 31 TELLS US THEIR EYES WHERE OPENED AND THEY
KNEW HIM. THEY WENT FROM FLESHY TO SPIRITUAL AND THEN HE
DISAPPEARED OUT OF THEIR SIGHT. BEFORE THIS THEY WHERE HUNGER
BUT AFTER THAT IT SAYS THEY HAD A BURNING IN THEIR HEART IN V
32 AND THEY WENT ALL THE WAY BACK FROM EMMAUS TO JERUSALEM TO
TELL THE OTHERS WHICH WAS A 7 MILE WALK BUT I DON'T THINK THEY
WHERE WALKING I BELIEVE THEY WHERE RUNNING BECAUSE OF WHAT HAD
HAPPENED TO THEM AND THEIR MEETING WITH JESUS.
3RD LETS LOOK AT THE 7 AT THE SEA OF TIBERIUS ( JOHN CH 21 V 4
) BUT BEFORE LET ME SHOW YOU ONE THING ABOUT THE DISCIPLES AND
WHEN THEY GOT SAVED LOOK WITH ME IN ( JOHN CH 20 V 22 ).JESUS
APPEARS TO THE 10 WITH THOMAS BEING NOT PRESENT AND JESUS
BREATHED ON THEM AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THOSE DISCIPLE
BESIDE JOHN GOT SAVED AT THAT MOMENT REMEMBER JOHN I BELIEVE
GOT SAVED BACK IN V 8 OF THIS CHAPTER. SOME WILL SAY
THEY DIDN'T GET SAVED UNTIL PENTECOST BUT ON THAT DAY THEY
RECEIVED A BAPTISM OF THE POWER TO GO FORTH AND
PREACH AND TEACH THE WORD BUT WHERE SAVED WHEN JESUS BREATHED
ON THEM AND THEY RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THEN OF COURSE OLD
THOMAS THEN GOT HIS FILLING OF THE SPIRIT 8 DAYS LATER IN
( JOHN CH 20 V 27 & 28 ).
NOW TO THE 7 AT TIBERIUS, HERE IS THE FIRST BACKSLIDDEN
CHRISTIANS IN THE N.T. THE DISCIPLES HAD JUST GOT SAVED AND
THEN THEY WENT RIGHT BACK TO THEIR OLD FLESHLY WAYS WHEN PETER
SAID LETS GO FISHING AND THE REST FOLLOWED RIGHT BEHIND HIM. INSTEAD
OF FOLLOWING JESUS THEY WENT FISHING, SOUNDS A LOT LIKE US DON'T
IT.! BUT THEY FISHED ALL NIGHT AND CAUGHT NOTHING AND THEN
JESUS APPEARED TO THEN THAT MORNING ON THE SHORES AND IN V 4
IT SAYS THEY KNEW NOT IT WAS HIM. WHY DID THEY NOT KNOW IT WAS
HIM? BECAUSE THEY WHERE SOWING TO THE FLESH AND NOT TO THE
SPIRIT. T E SAME FOR YOU AND I WHEN WE BACKSLIDE ON THE LORD
WE DON'T KNOW HIM BECAUSE WE ARE SOWING TO THE FLESH AND NOT
TO THE SPIRIT. BUT WHEN JESUS GAVE THEM INSTRUCTION AND THEY
FOLLOWED THEM LOOK WHAT HAPPENED, THE SAME FOR US WHEN WE HEED
TO GOD INSTRUCTION THEN WE ALSO ARE BLESSED, WE AS PETER ARE
ASHAMED WHEN WE REALIZE WE WHERE WRONG. LOOK AT V 12 WE DON'T
DARE ASK WHO IT IS BECAUSE WE NO IT IS JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES
KNEW IT WAS JESUS AND THEY FOLLOWED JESUS.
MY FRIENDS IT IS TIME YOU AND I GET THAT BURNING IN OUR HEARTS
FOR THE WORD OF GOD AND WHEN JESUS COMES OUR WAY WE WILL KNOW
THAT IT IS HIM. SO MANY PEOPLE COME FACE TO FACE WITH
JESUS AND KNOW NOT IT IS HIM. WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ARE SELF'S.
IN CLOSING LET ME SAY THAT THIS IS HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT GAVE
THIS TO ME AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU AND I HOPE
YOU GOT THE MESSAGE OF IT. GOD BLESS

( GODS JUDGMENT )
7-17-05
(
PSALMS CH 19 V 9 )
THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS CLEAN, ENDURING FOREVER: THE JUDGMENTS
OF THE LORD ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS ALTOGETHER.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND GODS JUDGMENTS AND YES
THEIR ARE MORE THAN ONE JUDGMENT. THIS IS WHAT THIS STUDY IS
ABOUT. E SCRIPTURES SPEAKS OF 5 SEPARATE JUDGMENTS LETS LOOK
AT THEM. EACH JUDGMENT HAS FIVE DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO THEM AS
TO, SUBJECT , TIME , PLACE , BASIS OF JUDGMENT AND RESULT.
JUDGMENT # 1.
1.SUBJECTS---BELIEVERS AS TO SIN
2.TIME---A.D. 30.
3.PLACE---CALVARY
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT---CHRIST'S FINISHED WORK
5.RESULT---DEATH AS TO CHRIST & JUSTIFICATION AS TO THE
BELIEVER.
THIS JUDGMENT IS PAST. THE BIBLE PROOFS OF THE RESULTS OF THIS
JUDGMENT ARE FOUND IN ( ROMANS CH 10 V 4 ) &( GAL CH 3 V
13 )& (1 PETER CH 2 V 24).
READ ( JOHN CH 5 V 24) , THE BELIEVERS JUDGMENT FOR SIN THEN
IS PAST AND WAS SETTLED AT THE CROSS. SINS ARE THE OUTWARD ACTS
OF WRONG-DOING THAT WE COMMIT AS THE RESULT OF OUR TENDENCY TO
SIN. THESE SINS MUST BE PUT AWAY DAILY BY CONFESSION. READ ( 1
JOHN CH 2 V 1 & 1 JOHN CH 1 V 9 &) BUT OUR JUDGMENT
FOR UNCONFESED SINS IS CHASTISEMENT. READ ( HEBREWS CH 12 V 5
- 11 & 1 COR CH 11 V 31 & 32 ).
JUDGMENT # 2.
1.SUBJECTS--BELIEVERS AS TO THEIR WORKS.
2.TIME---AFTER THE CHURCH IS RAPTURE OUT.
3.PLACE--AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST ( IN THE AIR ).
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT---THEIR WORKS.
5.RESULT---REWARD OR LOSS.
THIS JUDGMENT IS FUTURE. READ ( 2 COR CH 5 V 10 ).IN THIS
CHAPTER THE PRONOUN "WE" ACCURES 26 TIMES AND IT IS
DIRECTED TO THE BELIEVER. THE TIME OF THIS JUDGMENT IS WHEN THE
LORD COMES ( 1 COR CH 4 V 5 ) AND THE PLACE IS IN THE AIR ( 1
THESS CH 4 V 17 ) AND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST .IT IS
NOT A JUDGMENT OF YOUR SINS BUT AS TO YOUR WORKS. READ ( 1 COR
CH 9 V 24 -27 ).THIS JUDGMENT IS DESCRIBED IN ( 1 COR CH 3 V
11 - 15 ).THE RESULT OF THIS JUDGMENT IS REWARD OR LOSS. ALL
WORKS WILL BE TRIED BY FIRE AND THE WORKS THAT STAND THE FIRE
WILL BE REWARDED BUT THE WORKS THAT BURN UP IN THE FIRE YOU
WILL SUFFER LOSS. THEIR ARE 5 CROWNS THAT WILL BE HANDED OUT
THAT DAY,
1.CROWN OF LIFE---JAMES CH 1 V 12
2.CROWN OF GLORY---1 PETER CH 5 V 2 - 4
3.CROWN OF REJOICING---1 THESS CH 2 V 19 -20
4.CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS---2 TIMOTHY CH 4 V 8
5.CROWN OF INCORRUPTIBLE--1 COR CH 9 V 25 - 27.
JUDGMENT # 3.
1.SUBJECTS--THE JEWS.
2.TIME---THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
3.PLACE---JERUSALEM AND VICINITY.
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT---REJECTION OF THE GODHEAD.
5.RESULTS--THEIR CONVERSION AND RECEPTION OF CHRIST AS THEIR
MESSIAH.
THIS JUDGMENT IS FUTURE.I N THE DAYS OF SAMUEL THEY REJECTED
GOD THE FATHER( 1 SAM CH 8 V 7 ),IN THE DAYS OF CHRIST THEY
REJECTED GOD THE SON( LUKE CH 23 V 18) ,IN THE DAYS OF STEPHEN
THEY REJECTED GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT( ACTS CH 7 V 51 & 54- 60
).FOR THEIR SINS THEIR HAVE BEEN SCATTERED AMONG THE NATIONS
UNTIL THE TIME OF THE GENTILES ARE FULFILLED. AT THAT TIME THE
JEWS WILL BE GATHERED BACK TO THE HOLY LAND UNCOVERTED AND
CAUSED TO PASS UNDER THE ROD ( EZ CH 20 V 34 - 38 ) AND THEY
WILL BE CAST INTO GODS MELTING POT ( EZ CH 22 V 19 - 22 ) AND
GO THRU THE GREAT TRIBULATION AS DESCRIBE BY JERIAH AND DANIEL
( JER CH 30 V 4 - 7 & DAN CH 12 V 1 ).THE HUMAN AGENT THE
LORD WILL USE WILL BE THE ANTICHRIST ( REV CH 15 V 1 & V
5- 8 & CH 16 V 21 ).THE RESULTS OF THESE JUDGMENT WILL BE
THAT THE JEWS WILL CALL IN THEIR MISERY UPON THE LORD( ZECH CH
12 V 10 ).THEN CHRIST WILL COME BACK TO THE MT OF OLIVES( ZECH
CH 14V 3 )AND THE JEWS WILL LOOK UPON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED (
ZECH CH 12 V 10 ) AND A NATION, THE JEWISH NATION SHALL BE BORN
OR CONVERTED IN A DAY ( ISA CH 66 V 8 ).THIS WILL COMPLETE THE
JUDGMENT OF THE JEWS.
JUDGMENT # 4.
1.SUBJECTS ---THE NATIONS ( GENTILES ).
2.TIME---THE REVELATION OF CHRIST.
3.PLACE--THETHRONE OF HIS GLORY( ON THE EARTH-VALLEY OF
JESOSHAPHAT ).
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT--THEIR TREATMENT OF CHRIST'S BRETHREN-(
THE JEWS ).
5.RESULT--SOME NATION SAVED , OTHERS DESTROYED.
THIS JUDGMENT IS FUTURE. READ OF THIS JUDGMENT IN ( MATT CH 25
V 31 - 46 ).
AS THIS IS A JUDGMENT OF NATIONS ONLY THE JEWS CANNOT BE IN IT
FIR THEY ARE NOT RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS.( NUMBER CH 23 V 9
).THE SHEEP REPRESENTS ONE CLASS OF NATIONS AND THE GOATS
ANOTHER CLASS WHILE THE BRETHREN REPRESENTS THE JEWS ( CHRIST
BRETHREN ).THE TIME OF THIS JUDGMENT IS WHEN CHRIST COMES TO
SET UP HIS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM ON THE EARTH. THE PLACE IS THE
VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT IN THE VICINITY OF JERSALEM. READ ( JOEL
CH 3 V 1 & 2 ).DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD THE NATIONS
THAT TREAT JEWISH PEOPLE KINDLY, FEEDING AND CLOTHING THEM AND
VISITING THEM IN PRISON WILL BE THE SHEEP NATIONS, WHILE THOSE
WHO NEGLECT TO DO SO WILL BE THE GOAT NATIONS.
JUDGMENT # 5.
1.SUBJECTS---THE WICKED DEAD.
2.TIME---DURING THE RENOVATION OF THE EARTH BY FIRE.
3.PLACE--BEFORE THE GREAT WHITE THRONE.
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT---THEIR WORKS.
5.RESULT--CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
THIS JUDGMENT IS FUTURE. THE ACCOUNT OF THIS JUDGMENT IS FOUND
IN ( REV CH 20 V 11 -15 ).IT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE CLOSE OF
THE MILLENNIUM A 1000YRS AFTER THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS AND
BEFORE THE GREAT WHITE THRONE/THIS JUDGMENT WILL NOT TAKE
PLACE ON EARTH BUT WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE RENOVATION OF
THE EARTH BY FIRE READ ( 2 PETER CH 3 V 7 ).THE WICKED OR
UNGODLY WILL NOT BE JUDGED TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE ENTITLED TO
ETERNAL LIFE BUT TO ASCERTAIN THE DEGREE OF THEIR PUNISHMENT
IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. THEY ARE JUDGED ACCORDING TO WORKS NOT
THEIR SIN, THEM BEING THEIR IS THE JUDGMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR
REJECTION OF CHRIST AS THERE SAVIOR. THEY WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE
SEPARATED FROM GOD ,MY FRIEND PLEASE DO NOT
FIND YOUR SELF AT THIS JUDGMENT, ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR
BEFORE IT IS TO LATE.
ROMANS CH 10 V 9 & 10 SAYS---THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS
WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE
HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE
SAVED, V 10 --FOR THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.

( BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM )
(JULY 3 ,2005 BY BRO TIM PARROTT)
(MATTHEW
CH 16 V 13 - 17 & MARK CH 8 V 27 - 30 & LUKE CH 9 V 18
- 21)
GOD SPOKE TO ME THIS WEEK WHILE I WAS LYING ON MY BED WATCHING
A RELIGIOUS PROGRAM, THE PREACHER WAS PREACHING A MESSAGE THAT
WAS VERY GOOD, BUT THEN GOD SPOKE TO ME AND SAID THIS TO ME,I
T
DOES MATTER WHAT SOMEONE ELSE SAYS ABOUT ME BUT THE QUESTION
THAT NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED IS BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM .I
ANSWER TO MY SELF YOUR ARE MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AND MY BEST
FRIEND WHOM I LOVE. CAN YOU SAY THAT TODAY IN YOUR LIFE. JESUS
ASK THIS QUESTION TO THE DISCIPLES IN 3 DIFFERENT SCRIPTURES
WE GAVE YOU AT THE TOP OF THE LESSON .PETER WAS THE ONE WHO
SAID THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD .BEFORE WE
CAN BE SAVED WE MUST FIRST REALIZE WHAT AND WHO CHRIST IS AND
AFTER THAT WE MUST ANSWER THE NEXT QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED IN
( MATTHEW CH 26 V 22 & MARK CH 15 V 12 ) WHICH WAS THIS.
PILATE ASK IN OUR SCRIPTURES, WHAT SHALL I DO THEN WITH
JESUS WHICH IS CALLED CHRIST? MY FRIEND WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH
JESUS WHEN THAT QUESTION IS ASKED OF YOU.
SO MANY TIMES WHEN ASKED THESE 2 QUESTION ABOVE WE SIMPLE ARE
ASHAMED TO SAY ANYTHING. LET LOOK AT SOME SCRIPTURE HERE IN
GODS WORD.
1.ROMANS CH 1 V 16 SAYS--FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF
CHRIST: FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERYONE
THAT BELIEVES.MY FRIEND IF YOU ARE ASHAMED OF GOD WORD THEN
YOU CANNOT BE A FRUITFUL CHRISTIANS. IT IS GODS WORD THAT DRAWS
THE LOST SINNER TO SALVATION.
2.PSALMS CH 31 V 1 SAYS--IN THEE O LORD, DO I PUT MY TRUST,
LET
ME NEVER BE ASHAMED: DELIVER ME IN THY RIGHTEOUSNESS. THINK
ABOUT THAT, CAN YOU AND I TRULY SAY THAT ABOUT ARE LIFE!
3.ROMANS CH 9 V 33 SAYS--AS IT IS WRITTEN, BEHOLD I LAY IN SION
A STUMBLING TONE AND ROCK OF OFFENCE, AND WHOSOEVER BELIEVTH ON
HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.
4.ROMANS CH 10 V 11 SAYS--FOR THE SCRIPTURE SAITH, WHOSOEVER
BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.
5.2 TIMOTHY CH 1 V 8A SAYS--BE NOT THOU THEREFORE ASHAMED OF
THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD.
6.1 PETER CH 4 V 16 SAYS--YET IF ANY MAN SUFFER AS A
CHRISTIAN, LET HIM NOT BE ASHAMED BUT LET HIM GLORIFY GOD ON
THIS BEHALF.
7.2 TIMOTHY CH 1 V 12 SAYS--FOR THE WHICH CAUSE I ALSO SUFFER
THESE THINGS ,NEVERTHELESS I AM NOT ASHAMED ,FOR I KNOW WHOM I
HAVE BELIEVED AND AM PERSUADED THAT HE IS ABLE TO KEEP THAT
WHICH I HAVE COMMITTED UNTO HIM AGAINST THAT DAY.
8.MARK CH 8 V 38 SAYS--WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL BE ASHAMED OF
ME AND OF MY WORDS IN THIS ADULTEROUS AND SINFUL GENERATION:
OF
HIM ALSO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE ASHAMED, WHEN HE COMETH IN THE
GLORY OF HIS FATHER WITH THE HOLY ANGELS.
9.LUKE CH 9 V 26 SAYS--FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL BE ASHAMED OF ME
AND OF MY WORDS OF HIM SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE ASHAMED WHEN HE
SHALL COME IN HIS OWN GLORY AND IN HIS FATHERS AND OF THE HOLY
ANGELS.
10.LUKE CH 12 V 9 SAYS--BUT HE THAT DENIETH ME BEFORE MEN
SHALL BE DENIED BEFORE THE ANGELS OF GOD.
11.MATTHEW CH 10 V 33 SAYS--BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL DENY ME BEFORE
MEN, HIM WILL I ALSO DENY BEFORE MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
MY FRIEND YOU CAN SEE THAT BEING ASHAMED AND DENYING CHRIST
HAS A PRICE YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR. SO MANY OF US SAY WE ARE
SAVED, YET WE NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR GOD BECAUSE WE ARE
ASHAMED, WE DON'T WANT OUR FRIENDS TO MAKE FUN OF US OR WE
DON'T WANT THEM TO NO THAT WE ARE A CHRISTIAN. IF YOU LIVE
YOUR LIFE LIKE THAT MY FRIEND THEN THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE YOU
HAVE NEVER KNEW CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR. IF YOU HAVE
GODS LOVE IN YOUR HEART THEN YOU WILL WANT TO SHARE IT WITH
OTHER PEOPLE. THEIR IS A DANGER OF PROFESSION WITHOUT FAITH,
LOOK AT
MATTHEW CH 7 V 21 - 23 WHICH SAYS--NOT EVERYONE THAT SAITH
UNTO ME LORD .LORD SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT
HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN
HEAVEN,V22,MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, LORD, LORD HAVE WE
NOT PROPHESISED IN THY NAME? AND IN THY NAME HAVE CAST OUT
DEVILS? AND IN THY NAME DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?V23,
AND THEN WILL I PROFESS UNTO THEM, I NEVER KNEW YOU,
DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY.
MY FRIEND PLEASE DON'T BE THAT PERSON WHO WILL STAND THERE AND HEAR THESE WORDS THAT JESUS WILL SPEAK TO
MANY. SO
TODAY ANSWER THE 2 QUESTIONS I ASK BEFORE ,WHOM DO YOU SAY I AM
AND WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THIS MAN CALLED JESUS? DON"T
TURN HIM AWAY HE CAME TO DIE FOR YOU AND I SO WE COULD
HAVE EVERLASTING ETERNAL LIFE, SO CALL UPON HIM TODAY AND
RECEIVE THE FREE GIFT OF SALVATION, PLEASE READ ROMANS CH 10 V
9 - 13.
