I have recently found a new friend on Facebook that I am able to share, what I consider a very important issue, that thousands MUST wake up and find the God that is inside the Word of God and stop being fooled and lied to by all of these man-made church buildings found throughout this world.
Let me address those reading this article today, if you visited a church this morning, and the words that were preached to you are not found in the Word of God, ask yourself: why are you even going there?
Don’t remain like the original apostles did after Jesus Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension and Pentecost of the Holy Spirit … move onward and FOLLOW in Jesus’ footsteps.
Acts 8:1 ‘…And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)
Everyone moved on except those that are taught today in this world’s, man-made churches.
MOVE ON and FOLLOW Jesus … walk in His footsteps.
Found in the next chapter in the book of Acts, God shows us His MOVE. God no longer stayed with only the Jewish nation, up to this point in history, the only nation that was offered His Salvation. God MOVED onward and it’s up to us to FOLLOW in His footsteps.
Thousands of so-called christians, for nearly 2000 years have missed this move made by God.
I think the blame solely has to be put on the back of Satan himself and his evil minions.
In acts 9, the movement showing God’s change is portrayed to the individuals that want to see the love that He has for us.
Acts 9:3 ‘…And as he journeyed, he (Saul of Tarsus) came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)
That LIGHT was God. That LIGHT is Jesus Christ desiring to give each one of us the opportunity to be in His presence after this world ends. That LIGHT is God showing us His love.
God is wanting to offer each one of us a GIFT, that if we accept this GIFT and BELIEVE that He is even able to offer us such a GIFT, we would be saved from an everlasting future of evil, torment and destruction.
It is NOT written in God’s Word, that after Pentecost or Easter Sunday, we are to return back to the stable, year after year, learning from Jesus’ earthly teachings, learning what He taught to the Jews.
In Acts 9:15, Jesus CHOSE who He wanted to teach this world, and He CHOSE who in this world could be saved.
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)
Throughout the entire Bible there has ONLY been two (2) classes of people: Jews and Gentiles (non-Jews). There were many different groups of Gentiles, but the fact remains that they were all still Gentiles.
There was Abraham, who had Isaac, who had Jacob and God changed the name of Jacob to Israel after he defeated God in a wrestling match.
Genesis 32:28 ‘…And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)
The Jews originated from this house of Israel.
Three-quarters of our Bibles today, were written showing us the biblical history of the Jewish nation. It isn’t written anywhere in God’s Word that we are to FOLLOW the teachings of the Jewish nation.
We’re not commanded to celebrate the Jewish holidays or follow in their footsteps; in fact, the Bible tells us to be wise and ‘rightly divide’ the TRUTH found in His Word.
2Timothy 2:15 ‘…Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)
Jesus CHOSE a teacher for us to FOLLOW since He was taken from this world. Paul’s teachings are found in thirteen (13) books in our Bibles, from Romans to Philemon.
Throughout history, God has been trying to reach out to humanity and offering Himself. The Jews had the prophets that walked the earth with them. Then God sent His ONLY begotten Son to them to teach to them of His love for them. And by looking back in history, we can see they had Jesus crucified.
Today, God hasn’t sent us any prophets, and we don’t have Jesus walking among us trying to teach us what He wants us to know. Today, God has given us His Word, our Holy Bibles to find the truth.
BUT WE NEED TO OPEN THEM AND READ HIS TRUTH THAT HE WANTS FOR US TO KNOW.
STOP relying on a man-made religion to get you into heaven, READ GOD’S WORD FOR YOURSELF.
STOP following the choices made by your man-made religions and following in their footsteps.
OPEN YOUR BIBLE AND FOLLOW JESUS.
Here is Scripture I’ve taken from the Amplified Bible, and the reason I use this version is because of the FOOTNOTES that accompany this version.
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)
FOOTNOTES
[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.
God gave us His Word so we would KNOW what He wants from us.
Our Bibles weren’t given to us to be coasters for our drinks … Our Bibles aren’t meant to lay inside our cars, so we have them the next time we visit a church.
I’ve downloaded a Bible app on my phone, computer and tablet so I have the Bible with me at all times.
Everything that we have in our lives has been given to us by God. The internet has been given to us by God so we could find Him easier.
Yes Satan is all over the internet … but so is God, all you have to do is look for Him.
1Corinthians 10:23 ‘…All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)
As I conclude, also found in 1Corinthians is the GOSPEL that Paul wrote for us, that Jesus gave to him.
1Corinthians 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 (Authorized King James Version)
We don’t have to ring any bells, we don’t have to jump through any hoops, we don’t have to do anything that a human being tells us, and we don’t have to tithe 10% of our income to be saved, all we have to do is BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and FOLLOW in His footsteps.
Here is one last verse I’m going to use from 1Corinthins:
1Corinthians 15:33 ‘…Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)
Use the common sense that God gave us. Walk and FOLLOW in His footsteps.
READ His Word and learn the truth.
I love all of y’all.
Be blessed. I am InHIM. ><)))o>
