Wednesday 052825

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, just like how last week’s lesson was going to be difficult for some readers, this morning’s lesson might be just as hard for some to grab on to. I ask that You would walk with these individuals and comfort them in their questions and help them Father find what it is You have determined for us ALL to see. We love You Jesus. Amen.

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

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

We finished last week’s lesson with the Jewish nation on one side and the Gentile nation on the other side.

This all happened after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

I have stated several times, I really think many in this world have lost their way because of how our Bibles have been split up by man.

I personally think the NT should begin with the book of Acts.

The book of Acts begins at the end of the OT, the synoptic gospels should all be included in the OT. Chapters 1 through 6 of Acts carry on just as if nothing has been changed.

It wasn’t until Acts 7 when the Sanhedrin stoned to death Stephen when God makes a change to the way things have been going throughout biblical history.

God is no longer focusing all of His energy onto the Jewish nation. Throughout the OT, the Jews killed God’s prophets that He sent to warn them and to show them the way He wanted them to go.

Acts 9 begins with Jesus, the Ascended Jesus returning to this earth and confronting Saul of Tarsus on his way to Damascus, to capture and return those believing Jews of the Way, back to Jerusalem to be handed over to the Orthodox Jews.

In Acts 9:15, to me, is the most pivotable verse found in the entire Word of 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

Jesus made a CHOICE to choose Saul of Tarsus to be the teacher for the entire world, so we could ALL learn about God.

This verse in Acts is of the Ascended Jesus speaking to Ananias, a believing Jew living in Damascus, to go to Saul of Tarsus and baptize him so he could teach ALL the world: Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.

There is no human being left out of that above statement.

Acts 13:9 ‘…But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him…’ NASB

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.

It is from the book of Acts where mankind has lost touch with what God wants from us.

It’s like mankind has been led up to the crucifixion, burial and resurrection but then instead of continuing in God’s Word, mankind pushes the rewind button and the relives the entire three (3) years of Jesus’ ministry over and over again, never moving beyond the resurrection.

Too many churches have mislead too many believers that want to be with God when this world is over, but these churches keep the Word of God away from their congregation.

Churches will quote Scripture, but it’s only Scripture that they desire to be taught.

This is where I am going to go back to that verse I used last week and comment on it.

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 the Inspiration of God, but nowhere in that verse are we told that all Scripture has been meant for ALL mankind to FOLLOW.

We are never shown that we were to return back to Jesus’ ministry and re-learn what He taught the Jews.

We’ve never been told we were to replace the Jewish culture and pick up their habits and take their place and attain the promise of life.

Jesus told us in Acts 9:15 that He CHOSE Paul to be our teacher to show us the things that God wants from us.

The apostle Paul wrote thirteen (13) epistles, from Romans through Philemon that are meant for us Gentiles.

It’s the ONLY part of Scripture that God has given us Gentiles, to learn from.

What is taught in man-made churches today is everything that is NOT found in the Word of God.

You can easily find this out for yourself by reading the Word of God that God has intended for your ears only.

Start in Acts 9 and continue reading.

The book of Acts was written by Luke, the same Luke that wrote the gospel.

But it is in Acts where God shows us His pivotable change, that is found nowhere else in the Bible.

As we read the writings of Paul, we will learn of false teachers and false doctrine. We can read of how God warns us of Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth.

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

This one verse taken from the AKJV helps me when I teach people about different versions of the Bible in the English language.

There are those that will claim the KJV is the ONLY version of the English Bible that should be used.

Yet, when these people will read this verse in 2 Timothy … study to shew thyself … they will instead voice … study to show yourself.

It’s a correct interpretation, but it isn’t what was originally written in the Word.

These people are emphasizing a different version of the Bible, other than the KJV.

They are doing the same thing, that the NASB, GNT, and EASY versions do in their writings of the Word of God.

There are people that will claim the thirteen (13) epistles of Paul should be torn out of our Bibles and thrown away.

So, then I have a question, since Luke writes about Paul, then should we throw away the book of Acts too?

Should we then throw away the gospel of Luke also?

When Peter writes describing the difficulty in reading Paul’s writings, but in verse 15 he describes of the ‘wisdom’ that Paul had received from Jesus … are we to rip Peters books from our Bibles too?

2 Peter 3:16 ‘…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

Where is this verse written that is telling these people they can pick and choose whatever Scripture they want to read and believe in?

The verse in 2 Timothy tells us that ALL Scripture has been Inspired by God. Key word here is ALL.

But with that said also the reader must realize that the word FOLLOW is not in that verse.

ALL Scripture has been written for us to see and learn from, but we’re not to get hung up on words that don’t mean anything to us.

We cannot be saved by things that we’ve never been told, can save us.

When we’re shown it was Jesus BLOOD that forgave our sins, we should ask ourselves why are so many hung up on studying His life and ministry and it’s His death that we need to follow.

Jesus, this world is full of people that want to find You but Satan has polluted the churches that so many of these people go to and belong to today.

I know Your Word tells us that many will be deceived and fall by the wayside, the way Abraham questioned You … but what if twenty (20), what if fifteen (15), what if ten (10) … Jesus allow me to ask for those in this world today Father that desire to spend Eternity in Your presence.

Give them the opportunity Jesus to HEAR Your love that You have for them. Allow them to see. I love You Jesus. Amen.

I love ALL of y’all.

Open your Bibles and READ the Word of God. Go beyond what your pastor or priest teach you to read. Read the Word that God wants for to read.

I’ll be back next Wednesday.

Wednesday 052125

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’s lesson is going to be difficult for some; and to be honest Jesus, this lesson has been meant solely for them to hear. Guide them Jesus, protect them and keep them safe. Use me Jesus to voice the message You have desired to be shared with those in this world that will HEAR what You want to give us. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

2 Timothy 3:16; John 1:1; Deuteronomy 7:6; Isaiah 2:1; Jeremiah 1:15; Matthew 10:5-6, 15:24, 26:28; Romans 11:11.

Let’s begin with a simple question …

What is the Word of God?

I asked Google this question, what is the Word of God?

Google replied:

In Christianity, ‘the Word of God’ refers to both the written text of the Bible and to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The Bible is considered a direct revelation from God, while Jesus is seen as God’s ultimate expression of Himself. ^[1]

So, let’s focus, for a brief moment, on this book, the Word of God.

There are 66 smaller books or letters that make up the Word of God. They have been put together to make up this one book that we call, the Bible, or the Word of God.

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 66 books make up this one book of Scripture, known as, the Word of God.

A little later in this study, I will jump back to this verse in 2 Timothy, but for now, let’s continue to move forward.   

Here is another question:

Why did God see the need for us to have this book, the Word of God?

John 1:1 ‘…In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…’ AKJV

From the beginning of time, God was in possession of the Word.

Throughout the OT, God used prophets on this earth to relay the message that He wanted this world to hear.

As I was researching the answer to my above question, I was somewhat shocked when I found out that Moses is not considered to be one of the prophets of God.

Moses was considered to be more of a leader than he was a prophet. With that being said, Moses did write the first five books of the Word: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, also known as the Pentateuch or the Torah.

There were four (4) Major prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel.

There were twelve (12) minor prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.

So, I asked Google this question, why did God want the prophets to relay His message to this world?

And this is what Google replied:

God used prophets to deliver His message because He desired to communicate with humanity, provide guidance, and ultimately save them. Prophets served as spokespersons, conveying God’s will, warnings, and encouragement to the people. They were also instrumental in reminding people of their covenant with God and urging them towards repentance. ^[2]

Let me take the moment to define the word ‘repentance’ from this remark found on Google.

Repentance has nothing to do with asking God for forgiveness, but instead, it has everything to do with making a change.

These prophets were like teachers for God.

Along with the Major and minor prophets, there were the four apostles, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as well as Jesus Himself. ALL of the above were to teach this world about God and His wants from us.

It has come to a point in this lesson, where I must address an issue that will apply to ALL of these prophets, apostles and Jesus, Himself.

The entire OT is a compilation of writings that were originally addressed solely to, the Jewish nation. This is who the prophets, apostles and Jesus taught to.

I have included some Scripture, and some explanations found on Google.

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

God is talking to the Israelites (the Jews), God’s Chosen people.

Isaiah 2:1 ‘…The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem…’ AKJV

Jeremiah 1:15 ‘…For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set everyone his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah…’ AKJV

Ezekiel prophesied and delivered the Lord’s words to the Jewish exiles in Babylon at about the same time that Jeremiah was prophesying in Judah and Daniel was prophesying in the Babylonian court. ^[3] 

The Book of Daniel was primarily written for exiled Jews in Babylon during the 6th century BCE. It was also meant to provide encouragement and hope to those facing persecution and oppression, particularly during the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE. The book’s prophecies, especially those related to the 70-week prophecy, were designed to resonate with and offer hope to the Jewish community experiencing hardship. ^[4]

Jesus warned the apostles who they were to ONLY spread their message to.

Matthew 10

vs5 ‘…These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying, Do not go on a road to Gentiles, and do not enter a city of Samaritans…’

vs6 ‘…but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel…’ NASB

Jesus told us Himself who He came for.

Matthew 15:24 ‘…But He answered and said, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel…’ AKJV

The house of Israel used in the Bible is talking about the Israelites (the Jews), God’s Chosen people.

This is where a difference occurs between what is found in the Word of God compared to what the majority of the churches found in this world today, preach and forget to tell their congregations.

Churches forget to tell their congregation about the abrupt change that happens as soon as Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection occurs.

So many of the churches today will not move forward after the crucifixion, they are hung up on Jesus’ life and His ministry.

Jesus even tells those at the Last Supper that it was HIS BLOOD that would allow people to have their sins forgiven and people of this world could attain LIFE.

Matthew 26:28 ‘… for this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many for forgiveness of sins…’ NASB

It wasn’t until Jesus CHOSE Paul to be the apostle for the Gentile world, that God decided to go beyond just saving the Jewish individual.

Something happened, and I place 99.9 percent of the blame of this happening onto the shoulders of Satan himself.

The message that is found in most of the churches found in this world today, does not consist of what is found from the Word of God.

Most of what is taught today in our churches is man-made and not taken from God’s wants that He gives us in the Word of God.

NO WHERE in the Word of God does God imply that the Jewish individual has failed, and they are to be replaced by us Gentiles that desire to be saved.

The Word of God even defines this as not being a replacement of the Jew, but rather it is with the intention of God to make the Jew jealous so they will want to be saved.

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

God simply wants to make His Chosen people, jealous so they will repent (change their ways).

The Word of God, in great length, speaks to us on the false teachings that we, all of us, this entire world, will be confronted with, while we are on this earth.

This might be an opportune time to stop this lesson right here.

On one side the Jewish nation, the prophets, apostles and Jesus’ ministry and on the other side, there is the apostle Paul and his Gospel of Grace that he gave for us Gentiles.

Jesus, there is, at least one, individual out there this morning having a difficult time reading this lesson.

They find themselves battling with what they have been taught in the church they attend, and I am trying to convince this person to open up their Word, for themselves and read what they have been given.

Allow them Jesus to have the strength to shed off the lies they’ve been told their entire life and let them stand up with Your Word, open in their arms so they can proclaim the truth that You want us to HEAR.

I love you Jesus. Amen.

I will be back next Wednesday.

I hope to see all of you, then.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Before we begin this morning’s lesson, allow me to post the verse I read in this morning’s devotional.

Ephesians 2:10 ‘…God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do…’ GNT

This was this morning’s devotional.

Since I read it, I have been repeating this verse over and over in my mind …

Ephesians 2:10 ‘…God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do…’ GNT

God made us …

Not our pastors.

Not our priests.

Not our churches.

Not our denominations.

GOD MADE US.

Matthew 16:18 ‘…And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it…’ AKJV

The catholic religion is using Peter as their justification for needing a pope, however Peter as well as any pope, is 100% human being, a mere man.

The new pope, pope Leo XIV, is the 267^th pope since the apostle Peter.

The entire idea of needing a pope is ALL man-made.

Where in the Bible did Jesus tell us to assign, pick and choose popes that follow Peter?

Where in the Bible are we told we should FOLLOW anyone but Jesus?

It’s nowhere to be found in the Word of God, this has ALL been a man-made amusement by the catholic man-made religion, nothing else.

Nothing more or less … it’s ALL been a man-made lie and it’s been going on for nearly 2000 years.

The catholic religion is using a pope, a man, to be the voice to stand in for God.

God gave us, each one of us, the Word of God to be His Voice for us to know Him and be ready for His return.

The catholic church apparently doesn’t believe that God’s Word was given to us, to FOLLOW.

1 Corinthians 10:4 ‘…and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ…’ AKJV

The ‘r’ used in the word rock, in Matthew is small font … it is not referencing Jesus; just as well, the ‘R’ used in the word  Rock, in 1 Corinthians is capitalized … it is NOT referencing Peter.

Jesus is the Rock, not Peter.

God gave us the Word, not a pope. FOLLOW the Word of God and let Him tell you how He has determined to save you from ALL the foolishness found in this world.

Read how He has warned us of the false prophets and the false messages that would flood this land.

Read your Bibles and listen to the Word of God that He has given to each one of us and show us the ONLY way to be ready for His return.

The end is not here yet, you have still time to open your Bibles and read His Word.

We just celebrated Easter, Jesus’ resurrection  from the tomb where this simple act of God’s LOVE for each one of us, has forgiven us of our sins so we could be saved.

Jesus died on the cross to save us.

We are to FOLLOW His lead and walk in His footsteps.

When Jesus asks you to FOLLOW Him, jump up out of your seat and go with Him.

When the Word tells us that Jesus CHOSE, follow Jesus’ choice and let mankind remain in their own ruin by making their own choices.

FOLLOW Jesus, and forget what mankind tells you.

Acts 9:15 tells us that Jesus, the resurrected and Ascended Jesus CHOSE for this entire world to be taught about His wants and wishes for us.

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 verse found in Acts, is directly from the mouth of the resurrected, Ascended Jesus speaking to Ananias … telling him to GO, for he (Saul of Tarsus), is the CHOSEN VESSEL that Jesus CHOSE to teach.

Jesus CHOSE Saul to teach this entire world about Himself … ‘…the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ … there is no one left in the world.

Don’t find yourself getting caught up with what the men of this world or in their religions of this world tell you that you need to do to attain  Everlasting Life with Jesus …

… Read your Bible and find out that Jesus already gave His Life for you so you could attain Him.

Accept Jesus and listen to His Word.

Here, once again, is this morning’s devotional.

Ephesians 2:10 ‘…God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do…’ GNT

GOD MADE US.

FOLLOW GOD.

… … … … … … … … … … … … …

the UNFORGIVEABLE SIN

Wednesday 051425

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, open the ears of those this morning so they can LISTEN to the words You have given us. Allow them to see the REAL Message You want for us all to see. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:28-29; Luke 12:10; Acts 9:15, 13:9; Romans 11:11.

I found an article with a question that was asked by a young student to his professor:

Professor, if Christ died for all the sins of all men, including the sin of unbelief, why do some still end up in hell?

This is where I left the article.

To all of my family and friends that would rather follow what their pastors and their priests teach them, listen to me for just a minute, we are told in the Word of God, of ONE ‘UNFORGIVEABLE  SIN,’ the ONLY sin not forgiven by God.

Matthew 12

vs31 ‘…Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men…’

vs32 ‘…And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come…’ AKJV

Mark 3

vs28 ‘…Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme…’

vs29 ‘…but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation…’ AKJV

Luke 12:10 ‘…And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven …’ AKJV

There is a KEY word used in these verses and that word is Blasphemy.

The word BLASPHEMY is more than just simply swearing and using the Lord’s name in vain.

Blasphemy is defined as: the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things.

Sacrilege is defined as: violation or misuse of what is regarded as sacred.

The Word of God is considered the most sacred thing that we, mankind have been given.

If we were to misuse what the Holy Spirit has given us, the sin of that misuse is not possible to ever be forgiven.

When it is written in the Word that Jesus CHOSE Paul to be the teacher for the entire world, for us not to listen and obey Jesus’ choice, we have blasphemed against God.

That choice, that we made in turning our backs onto the Word of God, is forever, UNFORGIVEABLE.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said to Ananias, Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel…’ NIV

Jesus CHOSE Saul to proclaim His name.

Some synonyms of the word proclaim is declare, advertise, announce, circulate, herald, indicate, make known, profess or to TEACH.

Just for a moment, how many people in this world make the comment that Paul’s epistles should be torn out of our Bible’s and thrown away.

There are people that make the claim that Paul’s epistles are false and fake.

These people are committing the one and only sin that is unforgiveable by God. These people are committing BLASPHEMY against the Word of God that has been given to each and every one of us.

Walking away and turning your backs is insanity, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?

This question has got to be the question that every man, woman and child must realize for themselves.

Every man, woman and child should ask themselves this question every day:

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?

Here are some footnotes that are found in different versions of the Bible for Acts 13:9.

Luke now begins to call Saul by his new name, Paul … Easy English 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 … Amplified Bible

Acts 13:9 ‘…But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him…’ NASB

For a while now I have tried to find something that people could see and HEAR for themselves that could possibly show them they have been following the wrong path.

Too many people in this world have this notion they are to take the place of the promised, God’s CHOSEN people, the Jews but this is nowhere found in the Word of God. This is probably the most false message that has been portrayed to mankind over the many generations.

My message that I try to voice to anyone that will hear my voice is to OPEN YOUR OWN BIBLE AND READ THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.

Go beyond what your pastor, priest, church or its denomination tell you to read. Read the words that God gave to each one of us.

Jesus died on the cross to forgive man’s sins.

Jesus’ life and ministry was for the Jewish man.

Read your Bible’s after Jesus was crucified, buried and rose again after three (3) days.

Read the Acts of the apostles.

Read chapters 1 through 7 and hear how the Jewish people, still did not understand God’s real message for us.

Read in chapter 7 how the Sanhedrin stoned to death Stephen as he tried pleading the case of Jesus being the Son of God.

Finally, read in chapter 9 of how God made a choice to give His promise of Salvation to the Gentile since the Jewish people would not accept Him.

We are shown this in Romans 11:11.

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

It’s not written anywhere in the Word where God gave up on His Chosen people, the Jews.

It’s not written anywhere in the Word where the Gentile nation was to replace the Jewish nation and take their place.

God decided to offer His GIFT of Life to the Gentile.

God decided to SAVE ALL mankind.

It is up to us to change our mind and accept the gift that God is trying to give to each one of us.

Keep your Bibles open and continue to study the Word of God.

Study the words that God spoke to us and leave the notion your church is trying to fill you with.

READ, LISTEN, and BELIEVE the words that God has given us in His Word.

I love ALL of y’all.

I will be back next Wednesday.

Jesus, this morning I desire that You would look down on those of us Jesus that want to experience Your love and friendship. I pray that if there is any kind of way, Your message could go out into this world so others could be allowed to HEAR the real, true Message You have to offer to them. I love You Jesus. Use me to help others hear what You have written for us … all we have to do is READ Your Word.

Thursday 050825

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 so many people waiting to see WHITE smoke instead of black, but in reality they are blind from visually seeing what You have had written for generations for us all to see. Open their eyes Jesus, un-harden their hearts so they could HEAR the Message You have given to us, so many years ago. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Acts 1:4, :6, :9, :8, :13-14; Matthew 19:28; Luke 22:30; Acts 1:15, :26, 9:15, 13:9.

Throughout the Word of God, we are told that God CHOSE the prophets and that He CHOSE the kings.

He CHOSE His Chosen people, the Israelites, (the Jewish nation).

Jesus Himself, He CHOSE the twelve, original disciples, making them His apostles.

God CHOSE and mankind has followed.

While Jesus was still on this earth with them, after His resurrection and Ascension up into heaven, once again Jesus CHOSE.

Acts 1:4 ‘…and, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me…’ AKJV

He wanted them to wait in Jerusalem for their HELPER.

But their minds wandered … and they asked instead, but when?

Acts 1:6 ‘…When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel…’ AKJV

It is in this 1^st chapter in the book of Acts when Jesus leaves us human beings, when God is no longer physically, going to be among us, until the very END.

Acts 1:9 ‘…And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight…’ AKJV

Mankind now began to once again start thinking for themselves.

WWJD

What Would Jesus Do?

However, these men, they simply forgot what Jesus had just told them before He left this earth.

Acts 1:8 ‘…But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth…’ AKJV

Dazed and confused and now without a Leader among them, these men locked themselves in a room and prayed for assistance.

Acts 1

vs13 ‘…And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James…’

vs14 ‘…These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren…’ AKJV

While in this upper room, thinking, they were alone, and Peter remembered Jesus speaking to them, it is recorded in two (2) of the synoptic gospels.

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

Luke 22:30 ‘…that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel…’ AKJV

Immediately, Peter realized there were now only eleven (11) remaining apostles since Judas hung himself.

Acts 1:15 ‘… And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)…’ AKJV

The catholic religion is about to rename a new pope for itself, to lead them and their religion to their god.

This is so similar how the original, remaining apostles chose a replacement for Judas.

Acts 1:26 ‘…And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles…’ AKJV

Up to this point throughout the Word of God, GOD CHOSE.

And so, it has been for nearly 2000 years that mankind has decided to choose for themselves how they were going to get closer to their god.

Many people have written their own words to read from during the service to their god.

They’ve determined their own language they would celebrate this service in.

And in all this time, they have forgotten to listen to GOD’S FINAL CHOICE.

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 this entire world what He wanted for the people of this world to know about Him.

And so many are going to miss out on what God wants for us.

It’s so easy, it’s written in His Word, all we have to do is open our Bibles and read the Word He has given us.

Jesus died on the cross for us so we could be saved from an Eternal Life of torment and destruction.

The Word tells us all we have to do is BELIEVE.

We have been given the opportunity to attain Everlasting Life in the presence of Jesus, but we have got to FOLLOW Jesus’ lead and forget about what we think is the right way.

When Jesus died on the cross, three (3) days later He resurrected back to LIFE, to show us His promise of LIFE was actually possible.

IT IS POSSIBLE!!!

Move forward from Jesus’ resurrection. Continue in the words He has given us, don’t return back into His earthly ministry.

Jesus, the resurrected and ASCENDED Jesus returned to this earth to CHOOSE Saul of Tarsus to teach us what He wants for us to know.

Here is a verse taken from the Amplified version of the Bible and I have also included a footnote from this version of the Bible.

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

^[a] 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 wrote thirteen epistles to teach us the words that God wants us to know, ALL of us, the entire world … ‘…the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ (Acts 9:15 AKJV).

STOP relying on your own choice, or the choice of your pastor, priest, church or its denomination.

Put your FAITH and CHOOSE the Word of God.

CHOOSE who God has CHOSE for us.

BELIEVE IN HIM.

I will be back on Wednesday.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, It is because of You that we are even here today, wherever we are sitting, it has all been because of You. Bless us Jesus and strengthen ALL of this world that they would want and desire to find out more about what You have told us years and years and many years ago. We love You Jesus. Amen.

Wednesday 050725

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, use me to help voice the message You have given us written in Your Word. Help those out there in this world today that want so much to see Your Message but because of Satan, their eyes have been hardened so they may not be able to see. Allow me Jesus to be that softening agent that might allow Your Voice to be heard to those that   Amen.

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

Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 9:16; Romans 10:9; Galatians 1:6-9; Acts 9:15; Galatians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 15:50, :51-52.

We’re going to continue last weeks lesson on how we need to speak up and share our gift with those around us.

Romans 1:16 ‘…For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek…’ AKJV

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were gospels written to the Jewish believer and also to the Orthodox Jew they wished to convert.

These four synoptic gospels were not written for us today in the 21^st century.

The Gospel that was written for us today, most people don’t even know it’s in our Bibles.

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 of Christ written by the apostle Paul, chosen by the Ascended Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:16 ‘…For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel…’ AKJV

Here is a newer version of this verse:

‘…I tell God’s good news to people. But I have no reason to be proud because of that. It is something that I have to do. If I did not tell the good news, it would bring me great trouble…’ EASY

Each one of us should grab onto this verse and know that that should be the way we approach speaking about Jesus and our future.

We should, with confidence reach out and share our beliefs and our blessings onto those we love and meet.

Remember the verse I shared last week:

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

Confess the Jesus that you know.

Confess the Gospel that is going to save you from Everlasting Torment and Destruction.

Confess Jesus’ CHOICE.

As I spoke in our last lesson, there are so many in this world today that are lost and confused.

Satan has polluted this world into believing words that have never meant to do anything for us.

There are individuals today that recite verse after verse of Scripture that has been solely meant for the Jewish individual.

Scripture that has been meant for us to learn from but never meant for us to FOLLOW.

Galatians 1

vs6 ‘…I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel…’

vs7 ‘…which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ…’

vs8 ‘…But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed…’

vs9 ‘…As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed…’ AKJV

What other gospel you might ask and I’m talking about the four synoptic gospels by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

These gospels have not been written to or for us today.

This is what Paul faced here in the church in Galatia, that he wrote about in the book of Galatians.

Read the words he wrote trying to teach us.

There were Jews that infiltrated into the church to spew their lies, the same way our churches today are teaching lies, man-made stories trying to get you to look away from what has been written and not see what God wants for us to see.

OPEN YOUR BIBLES AND READ THE WORD GOD WANTS FOR US TO HEAR.

I continuously repeat this verse found in 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

Jesus, after His crucifixion, burial and resurrection, after His ascension up into heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father, Jesus returned back to this earth and confronted Saul of Tarsus on his way to Damascus to capture those believing Jews and return them back to Jerusalem so he could turn them in.

This Jesus CHOSE Saul to teach the entire world about Himself and His Father God.

This Gospel given to us by Paul is not of his own imagination. It’s not a repeat or a different version of the four synoptic gospels but rather it is from a Revelation that was given to him by Jesus Christ Himself.

Galatians 1

vs11 ‘…But I certify you, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached of me is not after man…’

vs12 ‘…For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ…’ AKJV

Jesus showed Paul what to write for us to see.

1 Corinthians 15:50 ‘…Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption…’ AKJV

This same kingdom of God was taught in the four synoptic gospels, known as the kingdom gospels.

But Paul continues and begins to explain the mystery.

1 Corinthians 15

vs51 ‘…Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed…’

vs52 ‘…in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed…’ AKJV

This mystery is missed and overlooked by so many in Christendom, mostly because none of us here alive today can fully explain this mystery, known ONLY by God Himself.

But to turn your back on something God is telling us in His Word, should be seen as foolishness to ALL of God’s followers.

If God didn’t want us to know about this word, He would have never mentioned it in His Word.

By it even appearing in His Word, should make each one of us WANT to know as much as we can about this mysterious word.

Keep studying the words that God has given us in His Word.

I love ALL of y’all.

I’ll be back next Wednesday.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, if this lesson has caused anyone to think, fill their minds with Your Love. Walk with them Jesus and allow them to experience Your presence. I love You Jesus. Amen.
