Month: April 2025

This morning, before I begin my lesson, I MUST voice this obvious decision that is made by millions of the people that walk this earth every day.

Easter was just 10 days ago. We celebrated the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Please ask yourself, why are you NOW, rejoicing and restudying Jesus’ life?

Why did you return to the synoptic gospels to relearn about Jesus’ ministry?

Jesus died for us … Easter morning we celebrated, His resurrection. Jesus is alive and well. He has moved past His ministry … why don’t you?

Get into your Bibles and start reading in the book of Acts.

MOVE ON … MOVE YOUR LIFE FORWARD.

I love y’all.

They DON’T WANT TO HEAR HIS WORD

Wednesday 043025

Acts 9:5 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV

Romans 10:9 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Jesus, there are those out there in this world that have been taught by the liars found in our churches today. Some of those out there are family members of mine and there are those out there that I consider my friends that I have a difficult time knowing they are missing out on Your GIFT that You have given us. Allow me to find the words Jesus, that could cause their ears to open up for them. I love You Jesus. Amen.

The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:

Acts 9:15; 2 Peter 3:15-16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 10:9.

There has been a repetitive message that I’ve been searching for an Inspired answer for many years.

There is one question that I have asked day after day and every night as I lay awake in bed before I roll over and go to sleep for the night.

This question, I voice aloud and ask directly to Jesus all the time, Jesus how can I get them to listen to Your Word … how can I get them to see what has been written in Your Word?

And finally, after many years, I was given the answer to my question this morning, as I was studying in the Word of God.

These people, that I so much desire for them to HEAR God’s Message, they will never hear His Word because they DON’T WANT TO HEAR HIS WORD.

These people don’t want to find out the truth.

It has nothing to do with me.

It has nothing to  do with the Message.

It has nothing to do with God.

It has EVERYTHING to do with Satan and he doesn’t want these people to hear the truth.

Satan has been spreading a polluted lie for nearly 2000 years, and he doesn’t want to give up now.

These people, they don’t want to hear the truth because they would have to admit they’ve been believing a lie that has been repeated for generations, and that they were taken advantage of.

They’d have to admit that they were wrong.

I, because of what I have been shown, I understand this. I can see what I have been up against all this time.

‘I’ cannot defeat this.

‘YOU’ cannot defeat this either.

But I know who can.

Let’s unite together and walk where Jesus guides us to go and together, WE ARE GOING TO DEFEAT SATAN ONCE AGAIN, THROUGH THE STRENGTH OF JESUS CHRIST.

Every one of us today, has been assigned the responsibility to open our mouths and share the Word of God with those that we meet every day, in our daily lives.

EVERY ONE OF US.

This world is full of lying teachers spreading false messages for Satan.

There are pastors and priests, spewing lies across the land thinking they are preaching the truth.

In their own minds, they are spreading messages that have been taken from the Bible, but they have missed the part written in the Word, that shows what Jesus CHOSE for us ALL to HEAR.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

This one verse is maybe, the most pivotable change in our Bible’s. It is a change that God has made that was meant to lead, ALL mankind, in a different direction, since the beginning of time.

To many people visit a building every Sunday and listening to man-made message that unfortunately, are never backed up with what is found in the Word of God, that He wants, for us to hear.

These people visiting, will hear from their pastors and their priests, about what Matthew wrote in his gospel. These people will not hear one word about how Matthew was writing to the Jewish believers, or how he was trying to convert those Orthodox Jews to believing his message about Jesus, or their Messiah.

They’ll hear readings taken from the gospels of Mark, Luke and John and basically, they’ll hear the same type of message that was written as in Matthew.

They’ll hear writings, written by Peter for the Jewish man, but none of them will hear this writing that was written by Peter.

2 Peter 3

vs15 ‘…And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you…’

vs16 ‘…as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction…’ AKJV

Hundreds of thousands of individuals will hear words not for them. They’ll be told words that they should follow, but there will be very few (if any), that will even get the opportunity to hear the Gospel written by the apostle Paul, chosen by the ascended Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15

vs1 ‘…Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand…’

vs2 ‘…by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain…’

vs3 ‘…For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures…’

vs4 ‘…and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures…’ AKJV

There are so many that will hear messages taken from Scripture, but they won’t HEAR this part of SCRIPTURE that could save them from Everlasting Torment and Destruction.

We’re going to hang out here in this place for at least another week.

There are too many liars out there in this world today preaching the wrong message to people, messages that these people do not need to hear.

Share the Gospel that Paul wrote for us.

By you opening up your mouth and sharing Scripture this other verse will be important for your own future.

Romans 10:9 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Jesus had to die for our sins to be forgiven.

We don’t gain life for studying Jesus’ life, we are SAVED when we remember His death and Resurrection.

Jesus was resurrected for our life to be made anew, for us to restart, for us to be given a second chance.

Keep your Bibles open and continue to study the words that God has given us in His Word.

Study the words He wants us to HEAR.

 I love ALL of y’all.

I’ll be back next Wednesday.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, Amen.

Wednesday 042325

Acts 9:5 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV

Romans 10:9 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Jesus, bless us this morning as we study Your Word. Keep us safe and keep us alert so we spot and identify Your every move so we will be able to keep up and always FOLLOW in Your footsteps. I love You Jesus. Amen.

The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:

Genesis 3:14; Romans 11:11; Deuteronomy 7:6; Acts 9:15, 9:10, 13:9; 2 Timothy 4:3-4.

I’ve been trying to find a verse in the Word of God, that would possibly open the eyes of this world today. A verse that would allow them to see that they have been lied to by the teachers they’ve been listening to in their church or in their religion.

It’s difficult because there are  so many verses in the Word that do just that, but these people will not read that part of the Word of God.

The other morning, I was sitting in my easy chair watching television, when I heard a teacher of a Bible study, make the comment of the punishment that God put on the serpent.

Genesis 3:14 ‘…The Lord God said to the serpent, because you have done this, you are cursed more than all the cattle, and more than any animal of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life…’ AKJV

This poor uninformed teacher made the statement, why would God set the punishment of the serpent to crawling on his belly, when that’s what a serpent does anyway.

Let me ask this poor teacher where he found the knowledge of how the serpent moved around in the garden of Eden, BEFORE his punishment by God?

This false teacher is correct, the serpent DOES crawl on his belly today from God’s punishment, but that doesn’t mean that is how the serpent DID move around before his punishment.

This is just one example where people have been poorly taught for generations, incorrectly by man-made messages that have all been influenced by Satan himself.

Where in the Word of God are we told that ALL MANKIND were to take over for the Jewish people and assume their place so we could be saved?

It’s nowhere in the Bible.

In Acts 7 when the Jews stoned Stephen to death, God put His beloved Jewish people on the back burner. God removed the Jew from being in the lead position since Genesis 12.

In fact, in Romans 11:11, we are told how God decided to offer salvation to the Gentile people to simply make the Jew jealous. The Gentile individual has never been told by God he was to replace the Jew.

Romans 11:11 ‘…I ask, then: When the Jews stumbled, did they fall to their ruin? By no means! Because they sinned, salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make the Jews jealous of them…’ GNT

Where in this verse are we told we were to replace the Jewish individual?

Where in the Word of God is it written the Jew is done?

The Jewish nation is God’s Chosen people. In Deuteronomy God voices His wish for His Chosen.

Deuteronomy 7:6 ‘…For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth…’ AKJV

All but thirteen books found in the Word of God, have all been written to and for the Jewish people.

In Acts 9:15, Jesus made a pivotable change in how the history of mankind was forever changed. It is the one and only, major change, found in the entire Bible.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Jesus is talking to Ananias in a revelation, a Jewish believer that was in Damascus.

Acts 9:10 ‘…There was a believer who lived in Damascus. His name was Ananias. God gave him a message in a vision. The Lord Jesus said to him, Ananias! Ananias answered, Lord, I am here…’ EASY

Jesus CHOSE Saul to teach this world, ALL mankind, about Him and the promise of God.

Here is another informative verse found in the Bible.

Acts 13:9 ‘…But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit and led by Him, looked steadily at Elymas…’ Amplified Bible

Here is a footnote found in the Amplified Bible:

Saul was the apostle Paul’s Jewish (Hebrew) name. As his ministry to Gentiles began he became known by his Roman (Latin) name, Paul.

If Jesus CHOSE Paul to teach this world about Himself, how can there be priests, pastors, churches and there denominations, that think they are wiser than Jesus and  instead, they decide to make their own choice and follow the writings and the messages they want to follow and they spread their false word onto the people of this world?

These are nothing but false prophets. Teaching anything other than what the Word of God teaches us?

The Word of God warns ALL humanity against these evildoers.

2 Timothy 4

vs3 ‘…For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold…’

vs4 ‘…and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]…’ Amplified Bible

God gave each one of us, the Word so we could find out for ourselves what He wants from us.

We are never told to sit back in a chair and listen to any human being teach us what the Word tells us.

We can find ourselves in a Bible study with others, but we are to open our own Bibles and verify what has been taught.

When the end is upon us, none of these people will be able to defend themselves because they have only been taught lies and man-made stories.

The apostle Paul wrote thirteen (13) epistles to teach us God’s Word for us Gentiles.

Stand on your own two feet and place your trust in what God wants from you.

Stand firm and believe in what God has given us.

Keep your Bibles open and read for yourself of His love towards us.

Romans through Philemon are words Jesus CHOSE for us to HEAR.

Keep your ears open and Hear God speak to you in His Word He has given each one of us.

I love ALL of y’all.

I’ll be back next Wednesday.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, open the ears of that individual that is out there searching for You this morning. Keep them safe and in Your care. Protect them and comfort them as they realize the many lies that have been told to them throughout the years. Allow them to find Your Message and allow them to reach out to others and voice to them what they have finally realized. We love You Jesus. Amen.

Wednesday 042126

Acts 9:5 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV

Romans 10:9 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Jesus, this morning Father, I awoke to hear of the death of pope Francis. Millions throughout this world are going to be affected by this somber news. Bless ALL of them Jesus. Strengthen them and give them the courage to move forward. It’d be nice if this situation could be used to move this entire world onward and get back inline with the Message You tried teaching us in Your Word. I love You Jesus. Amen.

The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:

2 Peter 3:15-16; Acts 9:15, 13:9; Isaiah 43:18-19; Philippians 3:13-14; Psalm 32:8.

This morning, the world awoke to the news that the pope had died.

I know many of my family members and many friends of my friends that are deep in the catholic religion that I hope they are able to get over this loss.

Allow me to voice, Jesus’ resurrection, our celebration just one day earlier of the pope’s death, should give each one of us hope.

I voiced with my neighbor yesterday, it seemed this entire world experienced EASTER this year, the resurrection of Jesus.

I continued to speak that there were thousand upon thousands of people that were going to wake up Monday morning and return to the verses of Jesus’ life and then I found out this morning that the pope had died.

But proving my point, we should move forward, not move backward to Jesus’ past.

I heard on a morning news show this morning, how the history of the pope’s throughout history have all come from the apostle Peter, and not from the apostle Paul.

This is where there has been this ongoing problem in our churches today.

Does the catholic church not even read the writings of the apostle Peter?

2 Peter 3

vs15 ‘…And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you…’

vs16 ‘…as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction…’ AKJV

There was a commentary by Google about these verses.

In 2 Peter 3:15-16, Peter doesn’t explicitly state that Paul received the word from Jesus directly, but he does acknowledge Paul as an apostle who wrote letters with some things that are hard to understand, which can be twisted by those who are not well-instructed. Peter emphasizes the importance of Paul’s teachings and encourages readers to grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus. ^[1]

Peter writes how Paul’s writings are Scripture.

Scripture that has been Inspired by God.

How can a religion, a denomination, a pastor, priest or even a pope come to their own conclusion what part of Scripture they are going to FOLLOW?

What part of Scripture they’re going to teach?

The question I always ask, where in Scripture are we told we can pick and choose what we want?

Yesterday, Easter Sunday, we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This morning, after the realization of the pope’s death, Catholicism as well as many other religions will return their preaching back to Jesus’ life here on this earth.

Where did Jesus preach to us to remain in His resurrection but return back to His ministry.

Jesus is ALIVE, but it was from His resurrection, NOT from His ministry to the Jewish people, God’s Chosen.

We should move forward with Jesus’ NEW LIFE and grow with what He has planned for us and not go backward into the way, that it was.

Jesus, in His NEW LIFE, the Ascended Jesus Christ, returned to this earth to pick a teacher that HE determined to be the one to teach ALL  of us.

This CHOICE is from the Ascended Jesus to Ananias, a Jewish believer in Damascus.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Jesus CHOSE Saul to teach the entire world, and a large majority of our world has decided for themselves to return back to Jesus’ ministry instead of moving forward and following Jesus’ lead.

Here is another important verse in Acts.

Acts 13:9 ‘…Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him…’ AKJV

Here is a footnote found in the Amplified Bible after Acts 13:9.

Saul was the apostle Paul’s Jewish (Hebrew) name. As his ministry to Gentiles began he became known by his Roman (Latin) name, Paul.

The apostle Paul was CHOSEN by Jesus to teach this entire world.

READ THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF AND MOVE FORWARD.

Check on your computers for yourself, does the bible instruct us to move forward?

YES, of course it does.

Isaiah 43

vs18 ‘…Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old…’

vs19 ‘…Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert…’ AKJV

Philippians 3

vs13 ‘…Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…’

vs14 ‘…I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus…’ AKJV

Psalm 32:8 ‘…I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye…’ AKJV

I found a website that offers 100 Bible verses on MOVING FORWARD …

https://www.openbible.info/topics/moving_forward#:~:text=100%20Bible%20Verses%20about%20Moving,have%20made%20it%20my%20own

This past EASTER, just yesterday, I pray will grab onto the hearts of many in this world.

I pray hearts will be changed and people will wake up and help themselves move forward.

OPEN YOUR BIBLES AND READ THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.

Move beyond the death of Jesus on the cross.

Move forward and FOLLOW Jesus’ lead and leave your church and its denomination behind.

Your church and its denomination is NOT going to save you.

I will be back this Wednesday morning.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, bless those people that will read this lesson and think for themselves that they desire to find You. Grab ahold of them and never let them go. I love You Jesus. Amen.

Sunday 042025

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)

Romans 10:9 ‘…that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by GRACE you have been SAVED through FAITH; and this is not of yourselves, it is a GIFT of God…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

1 Timothy 3:16 ‘…Beyond question, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, was vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

There are verses in our Bibles, that are not meant for ALL of us to FOLLOW. These verses are in our Bibles because we are supposed to be wise enough to know we shouldn’t FOLLOW down that same path as earlier generations did.

We learn this when we read the Word of God, if we would continue reading the Word past Jesus’ crucifixion.

The Word of God tells us people today in the 21^st century, what verses found in our Bibles have been meant for us to see and what we are to FOLLOW.

I pray that God would give you the wisdom today to find the path that He wants for you to walk down so that one day, you will be able to be in His presence.

Today, EASTER Sunday, grab ahold of the death of Jesus as our GIFT of Salvation t hat God gave to us.

Now accept Jesus’ death and move forward. Don’t get caught up in the trap that wants to corral you back into the life of Jesus. His life meant nothing for a Gentile.

Move forward and HEAR the beautiful morning He has promised us for the morning after today.

The verses we are going to study tonight:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Isaiah 7:14, Jeremiah 23:5; Matthew 15:24, 16:21; Mark 8:31; Luke 9:22; Matthew 17:22-23; Mark 9:31; Luke 9:44; Matthew 20:18-19; Mark 10:33-34; Luke 18:32-33; Mark 9:32; Luke 9:45, 18:34; Matthew 28:7; Mark 16:7; Luke 24:9; Acts 9:15.

Easter is the celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection.

1 Corinthians 15

vs1 ‘…My Christian friends, I want you to remember the good news that I taught to you. You received it from me, and you continue to believe it as a true message…’

vs2 ‘…Because of the message that I spoke to you, God will save you. He will save you if you continue to trust that same good news. If you do not, you have believed it for nothing…’

vs3 ‘…I received the good news from Christ, and I told that message to you. I told you the most important things: Christ died as a sacrifice for our sins. The Bible already said how that would happen…’

vs4 ‘…People buried his dead body. On the third day after that God raised him up to live again. The Bible already spoke about that too…’ EASY (Easy English Bible)

God made promises to the Jewish forefathers:

Isaiah 7:14 ‘…Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will name Him Immanuel…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Jerimiah 23:5 ‘…Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

And that is why Jesus came to this earth. (this is Jesus talking):

Matthew 15:24 ‘…But He answered and said, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Jesus didn’t come to save a Gentile, he came for the Jew, only.

In Jesus’ ministry days, the Jews only had to believe that Jesus was that fulfillment that was promised to the forefathers by God.

The first time in the Bible we even hear about the crucifixion is in Matthew 16.

Matthew 16:21 ‘…From that time Jesus began to point out to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem and to suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised up on the third day…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Three (3) different times Jesus told the original apostles, and it is recorded in three (3) different gospels all three (3) times.

1^st time–

Matthew 16:21 ‘…From that time Jesus began to point out to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem and to suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised up on the third day…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Mark 8:31 ‘… And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise from the dead…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Luke 9:22 ‘…saying, the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised on the third day…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

2^nd time–

Matthew 17

vs22 ‘…And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, the Son of Man is going to be handed over to men…’

vs23 ‘…and they will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day. And they were deeply grieved…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Mark 9:31 ‘…For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, the Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Luke 9:44 ‘…As for you, let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of Man is going to be handed over to men.”  …’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

3^rd time–

Matthew 20

vs18 ‘…Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death…’

vs19 ‘…and they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and flog and crucify, and on the third day He will be raised up…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Mark 10

vs33 ‘…saying, behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles…’

vs34 ‘…And they will mock Him and spit on Him, and flog Him and kill Him; and three days later He will rise from the dead…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Luke 18

vs32 ‘…For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be ridiculed, and abused, and spit upon…’

vs33 ‘…and after they have flogged Him, they will kill Him; and on the third day He will rise…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

All three times, the apostles didn’t understand what Jesus was telling them.

And maybe as amazing, all three times the apostles were afraid to question Jesus … they had been with Him for three (3) years, and they were afraid … did they not learn anything? How many years do you say you’ve been with Jesus and you still don’t know Him.

Mark 9:32 ‘…But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Luke 9:45 ‘…But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not comprehend it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Luke 18:34 ‘…The disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

On the first Easter morning, the Bible again shows us the apostles didn’t know what was going on.

In Matthew 28, Mark 16 and Luke 24; the apostles didn’t find out that Jesus was risen from the tomb until Mary came running to them.

Matthew 28:7 ‘…And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Mark 16:7 ‘…But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Luke 24:9 ‘…and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Any writing before this time was all to the Jewish believer. None of it was for the Gentile.

It couldn’t have been the writers fault because they didn’t understand, they didn’t know.

They didn’t know about the resurrection until that very first EASTER morning.

For us Gentile believers today in the 21^st century, BELIEVE what the Bible tells us, and in Acts 9:15, we are told who Jesus chose.

(This is Jesus speaking to Ananias)

Acts 9:15

NASB

‘…But the Lord said to him, go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

AKJV

‘…But the Lord said unto him, go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)

These verses, ALL from this lesson came out of our Bibles that God has given to each one of us.

These Bibles are the Word of God.

This Easter, open up your Bibles and read the stories that we have been given.

The world is full of false, man-made teachings that are all from Satan himself.

A fact that we know, trust and believe in:

One day God is going to say that time is over. There is no going back and making any changes. Time is done.

From my teachings, Jesus’ church will be Raptured from this earth so that we will remain in the presence of Jesus, FOREVER.

After that time, when the church has been Raptured from this earth, the seven (7) years of Tribulation will begin.

We have all been invited to His party.

We ALL, every one of us will have Everlasting Life.

It is our choice though, whether we would have an EVERLASTING LIFE with Jesus or if we choose EVERLASTING LIFE of torment. The choice is up to us.

Keep your Bibles open and study His Word.

I love every one of y’all.

I will be back this Wednesday morning, 042325.

Have a VERY blessed Easter.

Jesus, I pray that those ears and eyes, either listening or seeing this message today would be opened to the very fullest and allow Your love to come inside their lives and comfort them. Teach us Jesus. Protect us. We love You. Amen

Acts 9:5 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV

Romans 10:9 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Jesus, tomorrow morning is our greatest day here on this earth. I wish every person could HEAR this message. Bless the people on the earth Jesus. Allow them the opportunity to HEAR the Message You have for them to HEAR. We love You Jesus. Amen.

The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:

John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 9:15, 13:9; Matthew 26:28.

I laid awake in bed last night, Good Friday night, asking myself the question, who was the gospel of John written to.

Continuously going through my mind was John 3:16.

John 3:16 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Unable to come up with an answer last night, first thing this morning I searched online for any answers. I asked Google if it could tell me who the gospel of John was written to?

I first checked on my phone and I got this:

The Gospel of John was written for both Jews and Gentiles living in the Greco-Roman world, particularly those with a Hellenistic background. While the specific recipients aren’t explicitly named, it’s generally believed to have been written for the church in Ephesus and perhaps other churches in Asia Minor, where John ministered. The book’s purpose is to strengthen believers’ faith and lead others to believe in Jesus as the Messiah.

Then I checked on my laptop so I could get an address.

John’s Gospel was primarily written to a diverse audience, including both Jewish and Gentile believers in the Greco-Roman world. It aimed to strengthen their faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God, and to help them understand Jesus’ identity as God the Son. The Gospel also sought to persuade unbelievers to believe in Jesus and receive eternal life through him. ^[1]

Back in Jesus’ ministry, all the Jewish Orthodox individual had to believe was that Jesus was the Messiah, that made them a Jewish believer.

Us Gentiles today, the Word of God tells us we MUST believe more than that Jesus was simply the Messiah.

Here is what the Word of God tells us we MUST Believe today in the 21^st century.

1 Corinthians 15

vs1 ‘…Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand…’

vs2 ‘…by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain…’

vs3 ‘…For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures…’

vs4 ‘…and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures…’ AKJV

This is the Gospel that Jesus gave to the apostle Paul to teach to us and this entire world.

I too, love the wording in John 3:16, but it wasn’t written to us. This is maybe the biggest lie that will be told to the people attending church tomorrow morning, EASTER morning.

Jesus died on the cross to forgive us of our sins, but Jesus CHOSE Saul to teach this entire world about what we MUST know after His crucifixion.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

This was Jesus, the ascended Jesus speaking to Ananias, a Jewish believer living in Damascus, telling him to go to Saul and baptize him because he was His CHOSEN VESSEL.

Just think of the number of people, tomorrow morning sitting in their church that are going to make their own choice and choose who they want to follow.

Tomorrow morning is EASTER. Jesus died on the cross to forgive us ALL of our sins. Jesus was resurrected and He lives … to this day and people will not move on past His crucifixion they will go back in their Bibles and relive His life over and over and over again.

Begin reading your Bible, starting in the book of Acts. Chapter 1 through 6 is a repeat of the Jewish individual.

Chapters 1 through 6 are nothing but a repeat of the Jew trying to be taught about Jesus.

But in chapter 7, the Sanhedrin stoned to death Stephen because of His BELIEF in Jesus Christ and in God.

It was at this point in biblical history when God made the most pivotable change in our Bibles.

God determined to save ALL mankind since the Jews would not believe in Him.

God never told us Gentiles to take the place of the Jews.

In Acts chapter 9, Jesus confronts Saul of Tarsus.

To repeat once again, here is Acts 9:15.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Here is another verse found in the book of Acts.

Acts 13:9 ‘…Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him…’ AKJV

Here is a footnote given in the Amplified Bible for this verse (Acts 13:9).

Saul was the apostle Paul’s Jewish (Hebrew) name. As his ministry to Gentiles began he became known by his Roman (Latin) name, Paul.

Read the Word of God for yourself. Sometimes you have to read outside the box your pastor, priest, church or its denomination tell you to read.

Use the common sense that God gave you.

Jesus Himself  told us it was His BLOOD that would forgive us of our sins and allow us to live through Him.

Matthew 26:28 ‘…for this is my blood which is to be poured out for many for the remission of sins–the blood which ratifies the Covenant …’ WNT (Weymouth New Testament)

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, Tomorrow morning Father, I ask that many would clear their minds and look solely at You.

I pray they HEAR You speaking to them and stop listening to the lies that have been spread on this earth for so long.

I love You Jesus. Amen.

Wednesday 041625   

Acts 9:5 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV

Romans 10:9 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Jesus, where millions of people this week will take part in the celebration of Holy Week, allow them Jesus the opportunity that their eyes could be unclouded so they could see what has been written for the Jewish nation and what was written for the Gentiles. Satan has polluted the vision of so many and so much damage has been done to the doctrine that is taught to us in Your Word, allow those this week to be able to see through the lies that Satan has filled throughout this world. We love You Jesus. Protect us and keep us safe so our future will be being in Your presence living our Life among You. Amen.

The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:

Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25, 15:1-4; Acts 9:15, 13:9.

This morning we’re going to begin our study, where I would love to catch ahold of some of my family members, friends of mine and those lost in this world, wandering around following beliefs that are not found in the written Word of God.

There are a lot of people that have told me the Bible is too hard to understand so they put it down almost as soon as they open it up.

The point I want to make to all of you that voice this feeling, listen, you’re being directed to that part of the Bible that has never been meant for you to follow.

I made this comment a while back, as well as many of the religions that are practiced today in America alone all preach, that Jesus died so that ALL of mankind’s sins would be forgiven; Jesus even told us this Himself at the celebration of the Last Supper with His disciples.

Matthew 26:28 ‘…This is my blood that shows God’s promise. When I die, my blood will pour out of my body. In that way God will forgive many people for the wrong things that they have done. That is the promise that God makes because of my death…’ EASY

Jesus’ death forgives mankind’s sins.

The Word of God voices this.

Why is it that so many people today, practice religions that focus on Jesus’ life and His teachings when it was His death that frees us ALL from our wrongs?

1 Corinthians 11:25 ‘…After they had eaten supper, Jesus took a cup of wine. He spoke to his disciples again. He said, This cup shows my blood that will pour out when I die. God now makes a new agreement to save people because of my death. Whenever you drink from the cup in this way, do it to remember me…’ EASY

Allow me to point out that Jesus states that when He dies, God is going to save people … why is it that so many won’t allow for Jesus to shed His Blood for them, they try so hard to keep Him alive.

These people continue to study His Life when it was Jesus’ death that allows them to be saved.

Do these people not desire to be saved by God?

The gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (MMLJ) are ALL gospels of Jesus’ life and His teachings He gave to the Jewish people.

The Gospel that ‘is’ found in the Word of God, that actually speaks of our salvation, our promise of Life is never taught to the congregations in this world.

1 Corinthians 15

vs1 ‘…Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand…’

vs2 ‘…by which you also are saved, if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain…’

vs3 ‘…For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures…’

vs4 ‘…and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…’ NASB

In your Bible, just after the four (4) synoptic gospels (MMLJ), a reader will find the book of Acts.

Jesus is crucified, buried and on the morning of the first Easter, Jesus is resurrected from the tomb. Jesus’ resurrection should portray to every one of us, the strength and power that God has.

Jesus’ death on the cross displays the Blood of Jesus which was given for the forgiveness of ALL mankind’s sins, all of mankind, Jews and Gentiles and All sin that has ever and will ever be committed.

After His resurrection Jesus returned to this earth to live with His people for forty (40) days.

After these forty (40) days, Jesus ascends to heaven to sit next to His Father.

It was this death, burial and resurrection which should have been the start of the New Covenant that God had promised.

But it didn’t happen the way God had intended. It wasn’t until the stoning death of Stephen by the Jewish Sanhedrin (Acts7), when God stepped in to make a change in biblical history.

This book after the four (4) synoptic gospels (MMLJ), the book of Acts, written by Luke (the same writer as the synoptic gospel of Luke), pens this change in biblical history.

Acts 1 through Acts 7, the Jews (Orthodox and believers of Jesus) remained as the Chosen people.

But in Acts 9, there is a notable change that our churches and religions forget to teach us today. I would rather point the finger on Satan than putting the blame on another human being for not teaching the truth that has been Inspired for us.

To me, here is the MOST pivotable verse found in the Bible.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

This is Jesus speaking to Anaias in a vision about Saul of Tarsus.

This is Saul who was confronted by Jesus on his way to Damascus to capture those followers of the Way.

No where in the Bible is anyone told by God that we are to replace the Jewish people. No where is it written that we should follow their rules and practice their religion and take up their cultural festivals.

And yet religion after religion today, teach the life of Jesus and they recite His teachings that were all solely pinpointed to the Jewish ‘Chosen’ people.

Jesus in Acts 9:15 made the CHOICE of Saul to be the teacher for this entire world, to teach this world about God.

Jesus CHOSE and millions have decided to make their own choice and follow who they want to follow and believe what they want to believe in and not pay any attention to what is written in the Word of God.

These people have decided their choice is going to save them.

They think they are wiser than Jesus and His choice.

Will it take until they are standing in front of Jesus, at His throne before they will realize their err in judgement?

God gave us His Word to help us determine what He wants and how we should acquire and fulfil His wants.

This world is going to come to an end, and there is not a human alive that knows when this end is coming.

It is written in the Word of God that only, the Father knows for sure that date and time when the world will cease to exist.

Let me suggest to every one of y’all, open your Bibles and begin reading what God has determined for us.

Read it for yourself.

Let me also suggest that you begin reading in Acts 9 and listen to what God CHOSE for humanity.

Read the writings of Paul, Romans through Philemon.

Thirteen epistles that Paul wrote for our benefit.

Thirteen epistles that will get us ready for the future events planned by God and for our future.

Acts 13:9 ‘…But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit and led by Him, looked steadily at Elymas…’ Amplified Bible

Here is a footnote found in the Amplified Bible:

Saul was the apostle Paul’s Jewish (Hebrew) name. As his ministry to Gentiles began he became known by his Roman (Latin) name, Paul.

Continue to study the words that God has given us in His Word.

Keep your Bibles always open and near you at all times so you will get in the habit of following His Word.

I love ALL of y’all.

I’ll be back next Wednesday.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, touch those hearts out there of those that have heard this morning’s message. Allow them to wake up and smell the coffee brewing in the other room. Move them Jesus so they could react to Your Word. Amen.

Wednesday 040925

Acts 9:5 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV

Romans 10:9 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Jesus, be with us this morning as we open Your Word and become a voice that will speak to this world and help get Your Message out so their ears can HEAR Your positive sound. We love You Jesus. There are many people out there that want to FOLLOW You Jesus, but their eyes have been clouded by false prophets and false messages. Allow them Jesus to be able to HEAR the Word You have for them to hear. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:

Acts 1:2-3, :9-11, :16; Matthew 19:28; Acts 7:59-60; Romans 11:11; Acts 9:15, 13:9; 2 Peter 3:15-16; 2 Timothy 3:16, 2:15.

The past few days, my wife and I have been two hours west of our house at our daughters house, taking care of three of our grandkids while mom and dad were at the hospital giving birth to Kim’s and my tenth (10th) grandchild.

I’m a little late getting this on Wednesday morning, but I should have it posted before Ten tonight.

I love y’all. Thanks for being patient.

There are days when it is difficult trying to spread the Message that God has given us, knowing the number of people that will not bother to listen to the words that we voice.

It’s just as hard knowing these people will also not open up their Bibles and check for themselves what has been written in the Word. 

I struggle with friends and family of my own that I am unable to voice what is written in the Word.

But it is not up to me to change people’s mind, all I can do is voice what is written.

In previous lessons, I hope I have shown that it was Jesus’ blood, His death that made our sins forgiven.

So, the New Testament then, should begin with the Book of Acts.

From chapter 1 through 7 is a visual sight spotlighting the Jewish believer.

Chapter 1 begins with Luke writing how Jesus lived on this earth with us, He picked His apostles and after His crucifixion, He returned back to this earth for forty days living with the Jewish people.

Acts 1

vs2 ‘…until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen…’

vs3 ‘…to whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God..’ AKJV

Jesus was just crucified, He died and was buried, He was resurrected by God the Father and He returned to this earth for forty days and nights to live with those on this earth.

What should have been obvious to everyone, including us today in the 21st century, OUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN.

After forty days, Jesus left those on the earth.

Acts 1

vs9 ‘…And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight…’

vs10 ‘…And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel…’

vs11 ‘…which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven…’ AKJV

The book of Acts, written by Luke (the writer of the gospel of Luke), is a very detailed part of biblical history.

Peter (the apostle), addressed his fellow believers:

Acts 1:16 ‘…Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus…’ AKJV

Peter remembered what Jesus told the apostles about them sitting on thrones alongside Jesus where they would rule over the twelve tribes of Israel.

Matthew 19:28 ‘…And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel…’ AKJV

Peter didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity. Peter also knew since Judas hung himself after turning Jesus in, there were now only eleven remaining apostles and Peter didn’t want to miss this opportunity to be a judge.

Peter knew there needed to be twelve since there were twelve tribes, so he began the discussion of needing a replacement apostle to take Judas’ spot.

Up to this point, all of the apostles were handpicked by Jesus Himself, but Jesus was gone so Peter took it upon himself, the other remaining ten apostles and 120 other people to pick out a replacement for Judas.

Is this why Jesus abandoned the twelve?

These remaining apostles, ‘THEY’ were going to  find a replacement by themselves … ‘THEY’ were only going to spread the message that ‘THEY’ wanted to spread, where ‘THEY’ wanted to go …

But the straw that broke the camel’s back was when Stephen was stoned to death by the Sanhedrin in Acts 7.

Acts 7

vs59 ‘…And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit…’

vs60 ‘…And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep…’ AKJV

God made an abrupt change in biblical history. God no longer only focused on His Chosen people to carry on His Message, God CHOSE to save the Gentiles.

God did this to make His Chosen jealous. God never told us that we were to replace the Jews, that we were going to take their place and collect their promises. God simply included us in Salvation.

Romans 11:11 ‘…I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy…’ AKJV

These are not words that Leon has made up in his mind, these are words that God has given us in HIS WORD.

Jesus, the Ascended Jesus Christ returned to this earth and confronted Saul of Tarsus on his way to Damascus to capture more Jewish believers (Acts 9:3-9).

God changed.

Acts 9:15, to me, is the MOST pivotable change in biblical history and the majority of mankind has missed it.

I truly believe this verse has been hidden from us by Satan himself … he doesn’t want us to be safe and with God.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

The entire world was to be taught by Saul of Tarsus … Jesus’ CHOSEN vessel.

Acts 13:9 ‘…Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him…’ AKJV

Just about every church this Sunday will reference the gospels, from Matthew through John. They’ll speak of Genesis and Revelation but hardly any will quote from the thirteen epistles that Paul gave us.

There are people that will say the writings of Paul should be torn out from our Bibles.

Isn’t it strange that Jesus CHOSE Paul in the book of Acts, written by Luke.

Peter (the apostle) justifies the writings by Paul.

2 Peter 3

vs15 ‘…And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you…’

vs16 ‘…as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction…’ AKJV

Are we to tear out the book of Acts and 2 Peter also?

Where is it written in the Word of God that we can pick and choose which verses we want to abide by?

Open and read your Bibles and listen to the WORDS God has given us.

2 Timothy 3:16 ‘…All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…’ AKJV

ALL Scripture has been given to us by God and it has been inspired by Him … but nowhere in the WORD are we told we should FOLLOW ALL Scripture.

2 Timothy 2:15 ‘…Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…’ AKJV

We should read and follow the Word of God that He has CHOSEN for us to follow.

We should divide the Word of God where He shows us a change.

Keep your Bibles open and continue to study the words that God has given us in His Word.

Pray and ask God for His help when you find yourself in a struggle with what you are reading.

Let God guide you in the direction He wants for you to go.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, keep us safe and in Your arms. There are so many in this world today that want to HEAR the truth. Help them find Your Word so they too can live a life of peace. I love you Jesus. Amen.

Wednesday 040225

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV

Romans 10:9 ‘…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…’ AKJV

Jesus, I ask for that person reading this lesson this morning, maybe for the first time this individual is desiring to be standing in front of you, wanting to HEAR Your Message. Allow me Jesus to be Your voice to speak the words You want for those ears to hear. I love You Jesus. Use me, to spread Your Message so Your truth can be heard. Amen.

The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:

2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 9:15, 13:9; 2 Timothy 3:16.

2 Timothy 2:15 ‘…Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…’ NKJV

Let’s throw out the anchor right here for just a couple of minutes.

I used the NKJV version in this verse on purpose.

I hate it when people will voice their own opinion and say that the KJV is the only version of the English Bible that should be used. I’ve noticed, most times teachers using the KJV, in the process of reading the verse they will change a word from what has actually been written.

Here is an example:

2 Timothy 2:15 ‘…Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…’ AKJV

There are those that will read this aloud and say: ‘Study to show thyself approved to God.’ That’s not what is written … it is a correct interpretation … but, it isn’t what is written.

In essence, these teachers are changing the Word of God.

They essentially are reading a different version of the AKJV translation.

They are doing the same thing that the GNT, EASY, or the NASB versions do, they rewrite what was originally written in a more familiar understanding style.

2 Timothy 2:15

‘…Do your best to win full approval in God’s sight, as a worker who is not ashamed of his work, one who correctly teaches the message of God’s truth…’ GNT

‘…Always try very much to serve God in a way that makes him happy. Then he will accept you as a good worker that he can trust. You must teach God’s true message correctly. Then you will have no reason to be ashamed of your work…’ EASY

‘…Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth…’ NASB

Our focus shouldn’t be on which version of the Bible we are reading from; our focus should be that WE ARE READING THE WORD OF GOD.

Our Bible today is made up of 66 books, however, not all of those books were meant, nor intended for every person in the world to read, obey and follow, especially, today in the 21st century.

In fact, today in the 21st century, Jesus chose for us to be taught, only thirteen books that are found in our Bibles. And those are the thirteen (13) epistles written by the apostle Paul.

How do I know  that you might ask, because that is what was written in the Bible written by Luke, in the book of Acts.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

The Ascended Jesus Christ seated next to His Father in heaven, and came to this earth to confront Saul of Tarsus and then Ananias, a Jewish believer who was in Damascus.

Jesus CHOSE Saul of Tarsus to teach the entire world about Himself.

How can there be pastors, priests, churches and denominations that think they are wiser than Jesus, when they choose who they believe should teach us?

Here is another verse for you.

Acts 13:9 ‘…Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him…’ AKJV

Paul wrote thirteen epistles found in our Bible, beginning after the book of Acts, starting in the book of Romans through the book of Philemon.

But to go back to the verse I originally quoted from, it reads: ‘rightly dividing the word of truth.’

Rightly dividing the Word of Truth

Are we focusing on what Paul tried teaching us?

Are we FOLLOWING Jesus’ choice for us to FOLLOW?

Read your Bible and begin reading what Jesus intended for us to know.

The entire Bible, ALL 66 books have been written and inspired by God for ALL mankind, but we have never been told that we were to FOLLOW ALL 66 books.

2 Timothy 3:16 ‘…All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…’ AKJV

The word FOLLOW is not found in this verse.

There are many in this world that want to include that simple six-letter word into this verse.

But ALL Scripture hasn’t been meant for all of us.

Let’s end our lesson this morning on this. The Word of God was given to us by the Holy Spirit to help us through this life we are living in.

It is up to us to open the Word of God that we have been given and read what God wants for us and not get bogged down by what Satan has influenced so many throughout time to pass on to this world that we live in.

I love all of y’all.

Keep studying His Word and fill your life with His Love.

Jesus, help is needed to wake this world up and get them ready. We have been lied to for generations of mankind’s word and we have been convinced to put Your Word aside. Help me open ears and open the eyes of those in this world that really want to HEAR the Message that you have truly given to us. I love You Jesus. Amen.

I love y’all. I’ll be back next Wednesday with another message taken from the Word of God.
