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)

Let’s together, open the Word of God this morning, and study what we have been given. Allow me to help you in your study and search the Bible what God has intended for us to hear.

The verses we are going to study tonight:

Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9; Acts 3:19; Mark 9:32; Luke 18:34; Matthew 10:5-6; John 3:16; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 9:15, 13:9; Galatians 2:7-9; 2 Timothy 3:16.

To that believing Christian out there in this world today, here is a simple question for you:

What do you need to do to get Salvation so you can attain the promise of Everlasting Life in heaven with Jesus Christ after you die … according to what the Word of God tells us, not what your priest, pastor, church or its denomination preaches.

I myself have been having a difficult time understanding why the message I have been proclaiming is so hard for people to accept.

As I’ve been trying to decipher what might be the problem, I think I might have stumbled onto something, so, I’m going to try and voice this for the first time.

For the BELIEVING Christian today to be saved, we MUST first BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ. This means that we MUST BELIEVE that Jesus died on a cross for our sins and that He was resurrected from the tomb. We must not be embarrassed to voice to others about our God. We must repent, but that repentance is more than asking for the forgiveness of our sins, Jesus did that when He died on the cross, He died for the forgiveness of our sins.

Repent here means that we must change. We must change the way we live our lives. We must change the way we act towards others, but maybe the most important thing we can do is we must change the way we listen to God. WE MUST ALLOW HIM TO SPEAK TO US.

Acts 16:31 ‘…They said, believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

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)

Acts 3:19 ‘…Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

The words we MUST HEAR from God is ONLY found in the Word of God.

This is maybe our largest problem that we will find today in our lives because there are NOT enough people reading the Word of God for themselves, too often people depend on listening to their pastors or their priests to inform them what the Word of God says.

People …

Your pastor is NOT God!!!

Your priest is NOT God!!!

All of the writings that were written before Jesus died on the cross, cannot be writings that were written for our Salvation.

Our Salvation came from Jesus’ DEATH on the cross.

Jesus’ death and His Resurrection is our promise to Everlasting Life.

Therefore, the original apostles couldn’t have taught or written about a promise of life after Jesus’ death and His resurrection because they didn’t know about  neither one, His death or His resurrection.

Jesus tried telling them on three (3) different occasions, and all three (3) occasions are documented in three (3) different synoptic gospels, but the writers of those gospels, didn’t know about the promise of life for us Gentile’s when Jesus died and was resurrected.

Here are the two (2) verses that tell us the original apostles didn’t know what Jesus was talking about.

Mark 9:32 ‘…But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him…’ 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)

The apostles had no clue what it meant to be raised from the dead.

How could they teach a Gentile about life after death, Jesus taught them to not go to the Gentiles?

Matthew 10

vs5 ‘…These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not…’

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

The awkward and totally honest truth is that the original apostles couldn’t and didn’t do anything for us.

The most famous verse known today by those that attend a church is:

John 3:16 ‘…For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

This was written to the Jewish believer that only needed to believe that Jesus was the Son of God. Jesus was the promised Messiah, promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, way, way back in the OT.

For us to memorize this verse in the 21^st century, us Gentile’s, this verse will not do anything for us. This verse was written ONLY for the Jewish believer.

Romans 15:4 ‘…For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

Here is a verse where God is alerting us to become aware what we study in the Word.

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

Are you taking heed and observing what Word your listening too?

These old (OT) writings in our Bibles are not for us to obey or for us to acquire the GIFT of salvation, but rather, we’ve been given these writings to teach us.

To teach and to encourage us to seek more of what has been written in the Word.

I hope I have shown that the OT and the synoptic gospels were never meant for us to attain our salvation, but they instead were to keep us engaged and keep us in the Word of God.

To me, the ONLY verse that clearly shows who should teach me about God and my salvation, is found in Acts.

The book of Acts was written by Luke.

Acts 9:15 (this is Jesus talking to Ananias)

‘…But the Lord said unto him, go thy way: for he (Saul) 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)

‘…But the Lord said to Ananias, go! This man (Saul) is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel…’ NIV (New International Version)

‘…The Lord said to him, go, because I have chosen him (Saul) to serve me, to make my name known to Gentiles and kings and to the people of Israel…’ GNT (Good News Translation)

‘…But the Lord said, go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel…’ NLT (New Living Translation)

‘…The Lord said to Ananias, go! I have chosen him (Saul) to tell foreigners, kings, and the people of Israel about me…’ CEV (Contemporary English Version)

Here is another verse found in Acts for you.

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

Here is a footnote found in the Amplified Bible for 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.

Jesus chose Saul / Paul to teach the Gentile people.

Jesus chose Saul / Paul to teach the kings.

Jesus chose Saul / Paul to teach the children of Israel.

How can there be pastors, priests, churches and denominations today that still teach using anything other than what Paul wrote for and to us?

It is mostly because those people listed above don’t read the Word of God today. In their own minds, they’re too wise for the Word. They listen and read their own denominational papers. They trust and believe in them more.

Another incident that is recorded in Acts, is that of the Council that was held in Jerusalem, in 50AD.

The meeting was between all of the apostles; the remaining eleven original apostles and Matthias, the apostle chosen by man to fill Judas’ spot (after his death), and finally, the apostle Paul, who was the last apostle to be chosen by Jesus.

The outcome of the meeting was that Paul would spread his message to the un-circumcised (the Gentiles) and the remaining original apostles would continue to spread their message to the circumcised (the Jews).

If their going to continue, that’s the proof saying that’s who they did preach to.

Here is that same event, taken from the book of Galatians.

Galatians 2

vs7 ‘…But on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised…’

vs8 ‘…for He who was at work for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles…’

vs9 ‘…and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

A handshake and two entities were able to get along with each other. Wouldn’t it be something if we could settle things in this world today as easy as they did in 50AD?

I want to clarify my point on what has been written in the Word.

2 Timothy 3:16 ‘…All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness…’ NASB (New American Standard Bible)

The Word tells us that ALL Scripture has been Inspired by God.

There are benefits in the Word for us to teach others as well as for ourselves to read and learn from.

But even with that (one) added sentence that I’ve included, just  for this lesson, nowhere are we told in this verse that ALL Scripture is meant for us to FOLLOW.

It’s also not written that ALL Scripture will save us from Eternal damnation.

We are never ALL going to agree fully with everything that has been said.

This is maybe the best time for me to state that is the reason why each one of us should open up our own Bibles and read the Word that God has given us.

This life we live in is hard. We are fighting obstacles all day trying to survive another day.

Do yourself a favor and put on the armor that God has given us and go out into this world and be protected from the evil found in this world. (Ephesians 6:14-17)

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

I love ALL of y’all.

Be blessed.

I’ll see you next Wednesday.

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

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.

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
