Friday 013125
Don’t let me or my writings influence or scare you in any way, instead, allow me to be used as a vessel to open the Word, just a little bit, and hopefully, together we are going to read and study His Word, and let God teach us what He wants us to hear.
Since the beginning of this study, our vision has been that we are ONLY going to follow what is found in the Holy Bible, that pertains to us, and we realize that it’s ONLY from our own effort that we put into this study, that we’re going to take anything away for our own use.
The verses we are going to study tonight:
Romans 3:24; Acts 9:15; John 6:28-29; Hebrews 11:6; Romans 10:9; Mark 9:23; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 10:26; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Romans 1:16; Hebrews 10:19-26; Mark 11:22-23.
In my attempt to spread the Word, to the people in the 21st century, I am posting a new lesson every morning.
I am posting my lessons on eleven (11) different sites.

So, tonight’s lesson we’re going to allow Jesus to teach us Himself what He wants for us to hear.
Romans 3
vs24 ‘…Anyone can be made right with God by the free GIFT of His loving-favor. It is Jesus Christ Who bought them with His blood and made them free from their sins…’ NLV (New Life Version)
A couple of weeks ago, we had a lesson on the gospels found in the N.T.
From that lesson, there shouldn’t be, but one obvious point made here, Jesus had to die and be used as a sacrifice for ALL of mankind’s sins to be forgiven.
This was known by Jesus when He walked this earth. A major question arises as to why Jesus didn’t make those around Him, in His earthly ministry, know what was going to happen. This is one of the many mysteries that mankind today in the 21st century will ask as they study that time period during Jesus’ ministry. I can’t speak for God but there had to be a reason why His disciples were never told ALL of the facts.
With all that has been said above, mankind also needs to accept and believe before any of what Jesus has done for us, will mean anything to us.
The Word is the only place where we are going to be able to find out what God has done for us and what He expects from us in return.
In the past, we’ve probably never heard enough good things that we’ve been promised in the Bible, mostly because we’ve never taken the time to study what has actually been written down for us to hear.
In studying the mystery that the apostle Paul spoke about in his writings, we maybe first have to realize that Paul was not even chosen to be giving us the words concerning the MYSTERY until after Jesus had been crucified, buried and then ascended up into heaven to sit at the right-hand side of His Father, God.
Jesus chose Paul to be the teacher to the Jews and the Gentile nation. God, in ALL His wisdom chose a man that had previously killed those believers, that had believed in Jesus, His Son. Why we can ask until we a blue in the face and it will not change the fact or the writings where we are told that Paul was chosen.
Acts 9:15 ‘…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)
Jesus CHOSE Saul/Paul to be the teacher to the
Gentiles. This has to be noted as being part of the MYSTERY that confronts any believer.
There are so many questions about what we have been told to follow. The fact remains, we MUST believe for any of the promises to help us in this life we are living and get us into the promised life that God has given us. We have been told ‘ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TO BELIEVE.’
John 6
vs28 ‘…So they asked him, what can we do in order to do what God wants us to do…’
vs29 ‘…Jesus answered, what God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent…’ GNT (Good News Translation)
Hebrews 11:6 ‘…No one can please God without faith, for whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists and rewards those who seek him…’ GNT (Good News Translation)
Romans 10:9 ‘…If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved…’ GNT (Good News Translation)
How many verses MUST we be shown that will make us look towards Him and believe what He has tried to tell us instead of us listening to what a human being tells us what the Word is really saying?
Read the Word for yourself … ask yourself the question: who is telling you the truth and who is lying to you?
There are so many hurdles that we must get over, just to begin to recognize what God wants from us.
The problem with us trying on our own to get over these hurdles, in itself, is the problem. We’ve been told that we need to believe.
A young boy was possessed with an evil spirit and Jesus told the boys father, what he needed to do.
Mark 9:23 ‘…Jesus said to the father, you should not say, if you can do anything. Everything is possible for those people who believe…’ EASY (Easy English Bible)
The Bible, this time after Jesus was raised, we mankind MUST believe in a man’s writings about what God wants and demands from us.
This is one of those times when the verses can be used in our favor.
2 Timothy 3
vs16 ‘…All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness…’
vs17 ‘…so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work …’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)
ALL Scripture is Inspired by God, ALL.
How can anyone argue with what has been written.
Too many man-made churches, on Sunday mornings, are preaching how we’re told in the Bible we MUST tithe 10 percent of our income to that church instead of teaching us what is actually written in the Bible.
This is probably the reason why most man-made churches don’t open their Bibles up on Sunday mornings, because they don’t want us to see their lies.
Man-made churches don’t push us into needing to read the Bible for ourselves because if they did, we’d find out and realize just how many lies they are actually telling us each week.
A man-made church is there for only one reason, it’s not to get you saved, like you would think why they’re there, but rather, they’re there so they can get your money, that way, they might be able to survive another week.
So, in Romans we learned that ALL sins are forgiven but in this next verse a sin is different if it’s committed after having already been forgiven and then to sin again.
Hebrews 10:26 ‘…For if we sin willingly after we have received and acknowledged the Truth, sacrifice for sins no longer remains…’ RGT (Revised Geneva Translation)
In a way, it is not that hard to understand why it is unforgiveable, it is also not understandable that a person could continue to sin over and over again … Satan is really working overtime on some people.
2 Corinthians 7:1 ‘…My friends, God has made us these promises. So, we should stay away from everything that keeps our bodies and spirits from being clean. We should honor God and try to be completely like him…’ CEV (Contemporary English Version)
Romans 1
vs16 ‘…I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God’s power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles…’ GNT (Good News Translation)
Hebrews 10
vs19 ‘…So then, Christian friends, we see that Jesus died as a sacrifice on our behalf. Because of that, we may go into God’s Most Holy Place. We are not afraid to do that…’
vs20 ‘…Jesus has opened a new way for us to come near to God. That way gives us life with God. It leads us through the curtain into God’s Most Holy Place. Jesus opened that curtain for us when he offered his own body to God as a sacrifice…’
vs21 ‘… We have a great priest who rules the people of God’s house…’
vs22 ‘…So we should come near to God, and we should not be afraid. But we must be honest, and we must continue to trust him. He has made us clean from the dirt of our sins. Our thoughts no longer give us trouble about our sins. We have become clean. It is like he has washed our bodies with clean water…’
vs23 ‘… We know that we can trust God to do the things that he has promised. So, we must continue to expect those things. We must tell other people that we trust God. We should not stop doing that…’
vs24 ‘…We should think about how we can help one another. We want everyone to show love to each other. We want everyone to do good things to help one another…’
vs25 ‘…Some people have stopped meeting with the group of Christians. But that is not good. We should all continue to meet together. We need to help one another to be strong and brave. That is now even more important, because the Lord’s great day is coming. You know that the Lord will return soon…’ EASY (Easy English Bible)
We are promised LIFE except we MUST believe to gain God’s FREE Gift.
The Word is so simple it is hard. We, ALL mankind, try so hard at making our lives difficult because we always need to make sense, everything we read, must make sense.
I seen a television show the other night speaking on Genesis and asking the question if the book of Genesis could actually be a history lesson instead of just being the first book in the Bible.
The show expressed a viewpoint speaking on the flood, the Grand Canyon, this entire world and it all comes down to the fact that we have been told to believe.
We’ve never been told to figure out the context.
We’ve never been told to set the background of a story before we read what has been written.
We’ve been told to have FAITH in God and to BELIEVE in Him.
Mark 11
vs22 ‘…Jesus answered them, Have faith in God…’
vs23 ‘…I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him…’ GNT (Good News Translation)
We will not know for sure, but when we find out, it might be too late if we aren’t already ready.
Keep your Bibles open always. Study His Word and listen to God speak to you Himself. Listen to His Words and hear Him speak to you.
I love ALL of y’all. Keep your wits and STAND FIRM. Put on the armor that God has given us for our protection.
Don’t allow Satan to creep in and whisper evil thoughts into your ears.
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
