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.
