Jesus made a CHOICE. Jesus CHOSE Saul of Tarsus to teach ALL the people living on the earth about God.

There are so many that study the Word of God today … they study the OT, some focus on the NT … there are those that look to the book of Revelation, but all of these people seem to look past Acts 9:15.

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 is Jesus, the Crucified, Resurrected and Ascended Jesus Christ speaking to Ananias. If you study, using a RED-LETTER Bible, Acts 9:15 is written in red ink.

Here is a description of  a RED-LETTER Bible found on google.com:

A RED-LETTER Bible is a version of the Holy Bible where the words spoken by Jesus Christ are printed in red ink, while the rest of the text remains in black, making it easy to identify His direct teachings and dialogue, a feature introduced by Louis Klopsch in 1899 to highlight the importance of His words for readers. This formatting helps readers focus on  Christ’s teachings and can include His words in the Gospels and sometimes even Prophetic Old Testament (OT) references or words spoken by the risen Christ. [1]

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk (10/10/25), there were hundreds of thousands of individuals buying Bibles for the very first time. These people attended church services, also for the first time, seeking to have a relationship with God.

Me, being an outsider looking in, none of these first timers were ever going to find a relationship with God by going to a man-made religion and sitting in their man-made religious building.

In all honesty, God was right there, probably in their own hands, on the pages of that newly purchased Bible that almost all of these people had just recently purchased.

All they really had to do was just open up their Bibles and begin reading about God for their relationship with Him  to flourish. I am including, at the end of this lesson, a Bible reading plan that I’d like to suggest to you.

Over the years, I’ve taught of words that have been specifically written for us today in the 21^st century, but right now I want to focus on two (2) very important verses: 2Timothy 3:16 and 2Timothy 2:15.

2Timothy 3:16’…All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…’ AKJV

Notice the verse begins with the words: ALL SCRIPTURE … everything that is found inside the Word, from cover-to-cover, has been given to us for our knowledge, for us to learn from. But NOTICE, the word ‘FOLLOW’ is not used in that verse. There is nothing that is even similar to the meaning of the word ‘FOLLOW’ used either.

And then there is the second verse:

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

There are two (2), very important words used in this verse: RIGHTLY DIVIDING.

Through our study of His Word, we are to learn what has been meant for us and what has been meant for earlier generations.

We gain that knowledge through our study of His Word.

I didn’t stutter, we are not told we learn from our knowledge from our interpretations of His Word, but instead we are to be knowledgeable enough to know how to RIGHTLY DIVIDE HIS WORD OF TRUTH.

Millions have drifted away from the teachings that are found in God’s Word.

People are obeying commandments that have NEVER been meant for us, there are those that re-live Jesus’ earthly ministry when He walked this earth, but we are NEVER shown that we are to follow earlier generations, either.

There are man-made religions that year after year, they worship from the birth of Jesus in the stable, up through His resurrection, only to return right back to the stable to start all over again, year after year after year.

That is not RIGHTLY DIVIDING His Word … that is settling for what they want to believe in as being important.

From the Bible, that is the equivalence of the Tower at Babel, people wanting to do what they could so they could show God how much they love and want Him.

FOLLOW HIS WORD AND STAY IN STEP WITH WHAT HE WANTS US TO KNOW.

There are religions today that will not open and read the books written by Paul because his words are so much different than Jesus’ teachings while He walked this earth. When Jesus walked this earth He was here for ONLY the Jewish individual … don’t believe me?

Matthew 15:24 ‘…But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel…’ AKJV

Jesus instructed His disciples not to go into the Gentiles or the Samaritans but ONLY go to the Jews … don’t believe me?

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

This ‘house of Israel’ is the Jewish nation.

Man-made religions today, only follow the words they want to follow, they’re not interested in the words that came from Jesus’ mouth or the words found in the Word of God.

There is also a denomination, that puts their future in the hands of a man titled the pope. Nothing is found in  the Word to verify such an act … once again ‘mankind’ is trying to reach out for God instead of accepting God and accepting Him as He is reaching out for us.

We should, every one of us, want to FOLLOW in Jesus footsteps. When Jesus CHOSE His disciples and He asked each one of them to FOLLOW ME, each and every one of us should desire to do the same so we could find and keep up with Him.

There is another lesson for us in 2Timothy that tells us how mankind is going to move away from the Scripture that God has given us.

I refer many times to it as ‘tickling of the ears.’

2Timothy 4

vs3 ‘…For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears…’

vs4 ‘…and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables…’ AKJV

The Word of God has been given to us to help us make it through this life we are living in here on this earth in the 21^st century … all we have to do is open its pages and read His Word for ourselves.

I am going to change the way I have been trying to spread the Good News that God has given to us.

I am going to move away from posting on fb and all of the blogs I have set up online.

I have, over the years, had several occasions when my lessons have been confronted by individuals that don’t have any concern with building up a relationship with Jesus Christ.

And in all honesty, that is their right.

But it is also in my right to spread the words that God has given me to spread throughout this world for those that desire to find that relationship that God so desires from each one of us.

So, I am going to be still posting my lessons online, but on a much smaller scale. At the end of this lesson, I am including the sites that my future lessons can be found.

God is looking for a relationship with you alone … God wants YOU.

By us searching for Him, in any other place other than what He has given to us, essentially would be futile.

You are more than welcome to join with me in my pursuit to find and FOLLOW in His footsteps.

I love ALL of y’all, follow along with me as we keep our eyes on Him.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

^{[1]https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+red+letter+bible}

Here is a reading plan I’d like to suggest for the one searching to find God in the 21^st century:

Day 1               –           Galatians 1-6, 1Thessalonians 1-5

Day 2               –           2Thessalonians 1-3, 1Corinthians 1-8

Day 3               –           1Corinthians 9-16

Day 4               –           2Corinthians 1-13

Day 5               –           Romans 1-10

Day 6               –           Romans 11-16, Philippians 1-4

Day 7               –           Colossians 1-4, Ephesians 1-6

Day 8               –           Philemon 1, 1 Timothy 1-6, Titus 1-3, 2Timothy 1-4

Day 9               –           Acts 1-7

Day 10              –           Acts 8-13

Day 11              –           Acts 14-20

Day 12              –           Acts 21-28

The entire Bible, ALL SCRIPTURE has been given to us by God (2TIM3:16), but NOT ALL Scripture has been meant for us ALL to follow … we are told we MUST know how to RIGHTLY DIVIDE the truth of God (2TIM2:15).

Beginning in ’26, my lessons are going to be posted on:

whosoeverinhim.weebly.com

lrabbe.wordpress.com

Acts 1

vs7 ‘…Jesus replied, My Father decides when things will happen in the world. You do not need to know the day or the time when this will happen…’ EASY

This one verse alone, says so much for us … if we will let it speak to us.

Jesus is telling us that His Father in heaven is the One that decides when things will happen … not us, not the pope, not a priest or a pastor, not the president or the congress, but rather, Jesus’ Father.

Listen to the words found in the Word of God, speak to you: ‘…you do not need to know…’

We are told we are to study the Word and know how to ‘rightly divide’ the Word of God (2TIM2:15).

We are told how much God loves us (ROM5:8).

But God never tells us to think for ourselves, instead we are told to FOLLOW (ROM12:3).

Too often today, our human pride steps in and desires to take over and show us all the way.

When instead, we should step back and let Him show us the way.

Acts 1

vs8 ‘…But the Holy Spirit will come to you, and he will give you power. The Holy Spirit will make your spirit strong. Then you will tell other people everywhere in the world about me. You will do that in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria and in places far away…’ EASY

Jesus is voicing this, just moments before He is taken away from this world.

Many thought Jesus would be gone for a short time, but these people didn’t know all of God’s plans. They didn’t know of the secret that God had where ALL mankind would be saved. They didn’t know of God’s plan for a single teacher to teach this entire world, what He wants us ALL to know. They didn’t know that God was going to send Jesus back to this earth in a revelation, to change the way things were to be.

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

After Jesus was crucified in the 1^st century, most of mankind thought the end was very near.

Today we are living in the 21^st century … God never told us about the 20 centuries amounting to nearly, 2000 years.

The end is coming, one day, but we are to be ready, we don’t need to know everything for this world to keep spinning around and around … God has that under control.

Now to be honest, there is nothing said about any other mysteries in the future either, that we don’t know about. We MUST keep our faith and trust in God and let Him take care of us, we should FOLLOW His footsteps and let Him lead us.

Acts 1

vs9 ‘…When Jesus had finished speaking to his apostles, God took him up to heaven. The apostles watched Jesus while he went up. Then a cloud hid him, and they could not see him any more…’ EASY

The above verse, when it finishes, where his disciples no longer see Him, FAITH is what was supposed to take over.

Unfortunately for the Jewish individual, living in the 1^st century, Faith was not their strong point. Just look at this world today, we could all use a little Faith to come back into our lives.

From that day when Jesus ascended up into heaven, His disciples were like a puppy that had just lost its owner, its master, its leader.

Instead of the original remaining disciples leading the way for other believers, they hid out in Jerusalem and remained waiting for Jesus to return.

READ the book of Acts to find out for yourself. While Jesus was still with them He told His disciples to wait for the Helper that God was going to send and then they should go out into the entire world and spread His Message onto the entire world … but we read in Acts 8:1 that the disciples never left Jerusalem.

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

The apostles never left Jerusalem … they were without their leader … they were lost and defeated.

This verse, vs1 in chapter 8, allows us to see the next leader that is going to be CHOSEN by God, Saul of Tarsus.

Acts 9:3 ‘…And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven…’ AKJV

The ‘he’ that was journeying, was Saul and that ‘light from heaven,’ that was Jesus Christ.

Jesus confronted Saul on His way to Damascus.

READ the words that God has given us.

The book of Acts was not given to us to show us how we are to live our lives, but instead, the book of Acts has been given to us to show us the CHANGE that God decided to make, and we MUST be alert enough to FOLLOW His change.

There are two (2) verses we should focus on in the book of Acts … one I’ve already written about in this lesson that I’ll list again, I think it is that important for us to see.

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 tells us that Jesus has CHOSEN Saul to bear His name to this entire world, to teach every individual walking this earth.

And a second verse in Acts is:

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.

I purposely use the Amplified Bible for this verse because of the ^FOOTNOTES provided.

The apostle Paul, CHOSEN by the crucified, resurrected and ascended Jesus Christ, wrote thirteen (13) epistles for us to live our lives by so we could find Jesus.

From Romans through Philemon, Paul wrote the words that were given to him for us, you and me.

It’s up to us if we are going to follow those words or instead, listen to a priest or a pastor on Sunday morning and hear how good we are and how we are better than other folks and oh yeah, there is an offering basket at every door when you leave the building.

You need to WAKE UP and LISTEN to the words that God has given us in His Word.

Simply READ your Bible.

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

The more we read and study the Word of God, we will HEAR what Message God has given for us to FOLLOW.

As I’ve said over the years, many times, if you are visiting a man-made religion and the Bible is not opened, if the Word of God is not discussed, why would you ever go back. They’re preaching their own religion. They’re talking about their own god. All they want is your money to keep them in business until next week when you can give more.

Stay home the next week and sit down and open your Bible and read it for yourself. LISTEN to the words that God desires for you to HEAR.

Back in the later part of September of this year, I posted a Bible reading plan that I was suggesting to all of the new followers, seeking to find Jesus.

Many of these people were visiting man-made churches for the first time, desiring to find God.

I really want people to know; that God is not found inside these man-made religions … not the God you’re looking for anyway.

The God you say you’re looking for is inside that Bible you just purchased.

Here is the reading plan I suggested:

Day 1    –     Galatians 1-6, 1Thessalonians 1-5

Day 2    –     2Thessalonians 1-3, 1Corinthians 1-8

Day 3    –     1Corinthians 9-16

Day 4    –     2Corinthians 1-13

Day 5    –     Romans 1-10

Day 6    –     Romans 11-16, Philippians 1-4

Day 7    –     Colossians 1-4, Ephesians 1-6

Day 8    –     Philemon 1, 1 Timothy 1-6, Titus 1-3, 2Timothy 1-4

Day 9    –     Acts 1-7

Day 10  –     Acts 8-13

Day 11  –     Acts 14-20

Day 12  –     Acts 21-28

The entire Bible, ALL SCRIPTURE has been given to us by God, but NOT ALL Scripture has been meant for us to follow … this all comes from RIGHTLY DIVIDING the truth (2TIM2:15).

I am (I think), going to end my weekly lesson’s that I’ve been posting for several years now.

An advantage of posting a lesson online, the message is always there, waiting for that day when someone might open it sometime in the future.

We have a new year about to come in and with that there are new opportunities that might be coming our way.

Don’t focus on me ending my lesson’s, but rather, keep your focus on His Word and continue studying the writings that He desires for us to know.

NEVER take your eyes off Jesus … keep Him in front of you at all times.

I love every one of y’all.

I am InHIM. ><)))o>

Be blessed.

We are very close to celebrating, that one day, where just about everyone in this entire world, recognizes the birth of Jesus Christ.

We find ourselves here in America, confronted by evil spirits and demons desiring to destroy what this country was founded on.

We should ALL be able to realize that everything found in this entire world is ALL because of God.

None of us, no one man created anything that wasn’t already on this planet before he was born.

It was through the blessings that God desired for us (mankind) to have, as being the reason, we have what we do.

With that being said, God gave every man, woman and child the same opportunity as the person right next to them.

Country ‘A’ has been given the same opportunity as country ‘B.’ What each country does with what they have been given, is up to them … remember the parable of the talents found in the Word of God (MAT25:14-30) …

‘…well done you good and faithful servant…’

God never told us that the first servant did for the second servant, or the second servant did for the third servant, the parable reads that each one of the servants were given an amount and rewarded by what they did with what they were given.

Why is it that there are those in this country that feel we should just give away what we have acquired?

Do these people not see the value in what our previous generations have done for us, and what these other countries, their previous generations haven’t done for them?

Well, ask yourself then, what are you going to leave for the generations that are going to follow you?

ALL mankind was given the same opportunity, but God found favor in Abram.

Genesis 12:1 ‘…Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee…’ AKJV

God CHOSE Abram … Abram at first didn’t choose God; Abram didn’t even know God at first. Back in the days of Abram, the entire land was steeped in idolatry, they worshipped and served other gods.

Joshua 24:2 ‘…And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods…’ AKJV

Mankind didn’t choose, but instead, it was God that CHOSE mankind.

God CHOSE a particular people, in favor over all other people that walked the earth.

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

Once again, mankind didn’t choose God, but instead God CHOSE.

As we read our Bibles, we are shown the same story throughout, God CHOSE what He wanted for this world, for mankind, for His Creations.

But today in the 21^st century, in America anyways, there are those that want to give everything away.

The common theme is: everyone deserves what we have been given, they say.

All of these other countries have all had the same opportunity as us, previous generations, but they chose to go in a different path than we did here in America.

Is that their fault … maybe not, but it’s not ours either.

Our forefathers worked from sun-up to sun-down, to make life easier for the generations that would follow them.

So then ask yourself, this is the second time I’ve asked this, what are you leaving for the next generation?

What are you passing on to them?

There are so many people trying to give away our country, I guess maybe they don’t want their children, or their children’s children to have what we had growing up.

Apparently they don’t need for future generations to be safe in the land that has been passed on to them.

I am all for legal immigration. Every one of us living in America we were or our linage was, at one time, an immigrant. But our forefathers came to this country and assimilated with their surroundings so we could all be ONE.

But today, immigrants come into this country to live the way they used to live in their original country. Obviously, the way they were living was the wrong way because they never achieved anything. They desire to live the way they used to … that’s fine, but why don’t they stay where they were?

Why come to my country to live the way you used to live?

The way you used to live, apparently didn’t work in your own country that you came from, so stay where you are if you’re not going to change to our ways.

God CHOSE a people, but God wanted those people to FOLLOW His rules that He set for them.

Now the story according to our Bibles, the Word of God, the Jewish nation never did accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God. The Jews had Jesus killed so that His constant stories that downgraded their religion would end.

After the stoning death of Stephen (Acts 7), God made a change. God CHOSE to save ALL mankind.

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

Now, many of the man-made religions found in the 21^st century, they don’t recognize this change made by God.

There are some of the man-made religions that teach their congregations that we are supposed to replace the Jews, follow their laws, celebrate their holidays but not recognize their religion … but ask yourself, ask your pastor or your priest: where is that written in the Word of God?

It’s not … they are lying to you. They are preaching false beliefs, man-made rules, ‘but the offering basket is at the back of the room.’

This country, the United States of America, has been started by our God fearing forefathers.

They formed this government for us, the people … that’s why our constitution begins:

WE THE PEOPLE.

Our forefathers didn’t write our constitution, for those in other countries when you decide to come here, we will pay your way, we will feed your mouths, we will educate your children.

Once our country is gone, it will be finished. There will never be another Red, White and Blue.

We should help other countries. We should allow others to see what they are capable if they change their ways … but we shouldn’t open up our borders and say come on in and live the way you want to live.

If there way was successful, it would have been successful back where they came from.

Just think for yourselves for a moment … how can it not be clear to you. Stop allowing Satan to guide you in his evil ways, grab onto Jesus and FOLLOW Him.

I am looking to the future, in the words that God has given us in His Word. I am looking forward to that day when Jesus calls us up into heaven to live in His presence forever.

1 Thessalonians 4

vs13 ‘…But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope…’

vs14 ‘…For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him…’

vs15 ‘…For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep…’

vs16 ‘…For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first…’

vs17 ‘…then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so, shall we ever be with the Lord…’

bs18 ‘…Wherefore comfort one another with these words…’ AKJV

This is the comfort that I BELIEVE in. This, found in God’s Word, is telling us of the Rapture of Jesus’ CHURCH (the Body of Christ).

In the Greek the word is ‘Harpazo,’ from the Latin Vulgate the word is ‘Rapiemur’ and in the English versions, the words used are ‘caught up.’

They ALL mean the same thing … found in the Strong’s Concordance: to snatch up, to take away, to carry off.

This is the future that I look to.

So, today is Friday and I know there are going to be those individuals that are going to go to a man-made religion this Sunday morning, once again, use your common sense, if what you are being taught is not from the words that God has intended for our ears, stop listening to what is being spoken to you.

GET OUT and GO HOME.

Open your Bible and read the words that God has CHOSEN for us to HEAR.

Your man-made church is never going to be able to save you … ONLY God can do that.

LISTEN to His words and ONLY His words.

God allowed us to have what we see all around us in this country … don’t give it away because you think you’re doing the right thing.

Think of your future. Think of those that are going to come after you … leave what is the best for them.

As we end today, allow me to leave you with these other verses found in the Word:

Romans 8

vs38 ‘…For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come…’

vs39 ‘…nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord…’ AKJV

Keep your focus on Jesus and LIVE in His strength.

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God…’ AKJV

I love ALL of y’all.

Wednesday 121725

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, I know I am sounding like a recorded message, constantly week after week speaking of the same Message, over and over again, but I desire to get people on this earth facing towards You. Spread Your Message this morning and allow people all over this world to HEAR what You desire for us ALL to know. I love You Jesus. Thank You for everything I have been given in my lifetime. Amen.

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

Colossians 2:6, :8; 2Timothy 4:3-4.

You have heard me many times speak about how we are to FOLLOW in Jesus’ footsteps, allow me to share this next verse with you in several different English versions:

Colossians 2:6

‘…As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him…’ ^AKJV

‘…You have accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord. Now keep on following him…’ ^CEV

‘…Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him…’ ^ESV

‘…Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him…’ ^NASB

‘…And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him…’ ^NLT

It isn’t written that we are to find a church with a daycare for our kids … or to find a church with multiple services every Sunday … or a church with good free coffee and donuts … or find a building with a fantastic air conditioner and a pastor that can preach his message.

God in His Word is telling us to FOLLOW in Jesus’ footsteps.

Listen, Jesus died on the cross to forgive us of our sins, ALL mankind has had ALL of his sins forgiven.

ALL OF US.

This is from the result of Jesus dying on the cross for us … we are NEVER told to study His teaching from His earthly ministry … this is ALL false teachings by false prophets looking for their own reward … they are not interested in SAVING your soul for the future.

They are only interested in preaching the words they want to preach … they are only interested in how much money you put in their offering basket … they are only interested in what you are going to give them.

Finish reading the verses in Colossians 2 and listen to the warning that God is trying to express to us.

Colossians 2:8

‘…Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ…’ ^AKJV

‘…Don’t let anyone fool you by using senseless arguments. These arguments may sound wise, but they are only human teachings. They come from the powers of this world and not from Christ…’ ^CEV

‘…See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ…’ ^ESV

‘…See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the elementary principles of the world, rather than in accordance with Christ…’ ^NASB

‘…Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ…’ ^NLT

Don’t be misled by what a religion wants you to believe in … OPEN up your Bible and READ the words from God for yourself … READ His Word and FOLLOW in His footsteps.

God is SPEAKING to us today in His Word.

FOLLOW HIM.

Found also in God’s Word, He is telling us of how ‘future generations’ would desire to want their ears tickled or itching ears.

2Timothy 4

vs3 ‘…For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears…’

vs4 ‘…and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables…’ ^AKJV

vs3 ‘…The time is coming when people won’t listen to good teaching. Instead, they will look for teachers who will please them by telling them only what they are itching to hear…’

vs4 ‘…They will turn from the truth and eagerly listen to senseless stories…’ ^CEV

vs3 ‘…For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions…’

vs4 ‘…and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths…’ ^ESV

vs3 ‘…For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires…’

vs4 ‘…and they will turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths…’ ^NASB

vs3 ‘…For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear…’

vs4 ‘…They will reject the truth and chase after myths…’ ^NLT

There is nowhere in the Word of God where it is written telling us Gentiles that we are to take the place of the Jew from the days of old.

This concept that began back in the 3^rd century, it is called ‘Replacement Theology.’ This is nothing more than a man-made lie, a FALSE TEACHING that wants to do nothing but take your eyes off Jesus Christ and put your focus on what man wants you to know. This theology is nothing but a thought from Satan passed on by his workers of evil.

Google.com has a very good description of this theology.

Replacement theology, or supersessionism, is the belief that the Christian Church has permanently replaced Israel as God’s chosen people, inheriting God’s promises and covenants. This view suggests that Israel, by rejecting Jesus, forfeited its special status and that the Church is now the true inheritor of God’s covenant promises to Abraham. While some theologians prefer the term ‘fulfillment theology’ or ‘fulfillment of Israel,’ replacement theology has been historically dominant but faces criticism for its historical role in anti-Semitic attitudes and its implications for the modern state of Israel.

I read once where this theology completely ends Israel, but that cannot be true because the entire book of Revelation is nothing but the final week (7 years) of punishment for the Jewish people, God’s Chosen people.

This is a short lesson this morning, but what I want to have my readers see more than anything is that our Bibles, the Word of God is an entire book telling us this world’s past history and it shows our future and what is going to happen to so many of us.

Do yourself a very big favor, take the time to OPEN your Bible and READ the words that God has given us.

God didn’t give us His Word for us to just carry it around in our everyday lives … He wants for us to READ it.

Begin in the book of Acts and continue in Jesus’ footsteps after the cross.

I’ll be back  next Wednesday.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, thank You for Your Word. It allows for each one of us to have the opportunity to find out what You desire from us. Touch those out there Jesus that want You so much in their lives. We love You Jesus. Amen.

While working on a lesson, I came across a subject that encouraged my curiosity a little, and maybe we each should re-look at how we each have interpreted the Word.

I was watching the television the other morning, when the station I was watching, moved to a live shot of the spacecraft going up in Florida on its way to mars … for some reason my mind flashed immediately to the tower at Babel.

An explanation given on google.com:

The tower of Babel is a biblical story from the book of Genesis about a unified, single-language humanity that built a tower to reach the heavens.

Is that not the same thing we are doing with rockets and telescopes orbiting in space today?

Maybe these people are not searching for God, but they are looking elsewhere for an answer to their questions; they are reaching out for the heavens.

And then this morning I seen on social media a man speaking about OT prophecies and how they were coming to fruition.

First he stated that the Euphrates river was drying up.

Revelation 16:12 ‘…And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared…’ AKJV

Then this man spoke on the re-establishment of Israel as a nation. Ezekiel 37 is a prophecy that was written back around 600 BC.

Other prophecies were written about wars and conflicts and that is just about all that is found in the news today.

Prophecies of natural disasters, earthquakes, famines and pestilences preceding Jesus’ return. I live in NC and here lately, there are earthquakes recorded every week. Is it because our equipment just got really good or is it clearly fulfilling the prophecy that we have been given by God.

Another prophecy was of the moral decline in humanity. Just for a moment, look at our country alone and look at what is going on in our streets.

For several years I have promoted the question where I asked people: ARE YOU READY ?

If God turned off the switch and the world as we know it was finished, are you going to heaven when Jesus calls us at the Rapture or are you going to remain to experience the tribulation and the Lake of Fire?

This morning, I hope, if I have done nothing else, is to entice each one of us to OPEN our Bibles and READ the words that God has given us.

I know hundreds of those reading this went to church yesterday.

If what you were taught in yesterday’s service, if the message that you heard cannot be backed up in Scripture that is meant for our ears today, do yourself a favor and don’t go back.

Spend next week, for one hour sitting at your kitchen table and reading the words that God has given for us to HEAR.

We are told in 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 is from Jesus’ mouth, the crucified, resurrected and ascended Jesus speaking to Ananias about a man that He has CHOSEN to teach the entire world.

If you read a ‘RED LETTER’ Bible, the above verse is written in RED ink.

Why do man’s religions today teach from MMLJ (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) ?

These words were written for the Jewish individuals.

God made a change in the Bible. This change is shown, beginning in Acts 9. In Acts 9:15 God CHOSE Saul of Tarsus to teach the entire population of mankind by Saul of Tarsus.

Here is another important verse found in Acts.

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)

FOOTNOTE

^[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 wants us to READ the writings of Paul. Paul wrote the thirteen epistles from Romans through Philemon.

I love ALL of y’all.

I’d like to invite you to join me in my pursuit to FOLLOW God’s CHOICE.

This time of year, we are all celebrating our memory of the birth of Jesus Christ.

We’re not celebrating that He was born on December 25^th, but we are celebrating His birth and remembering what He meant to each one of us on December 25th.

Not trying to be offensive to anyone, but it was actually Jesus’ death on the cross that should mean the very most to each one of us.

The cross, believe it or not, conquered more than just sin; and sin is a major grievance in every human being’s life that we, ALL mankind, have battled over.

Colossians 2

vs13 ‘…And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses…’

vs14 ‘…blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross…’

vs15 ‘…and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it…’ AKJV

Vs15 is the part where we are told that Jesus conquered more than sin at the cross, Jesus defeated any demons that try and do battle with us throughout our lifetime.

In our busy lives that we live in today, we have not taken the time to keep Jesus in our thoughts throughout our days. We are too easily swayed into thinking the news of the day, or whatever might happen in the political arena around our country, or a television series that plays daily during our weekly evenings; we, in our humanness, we have forgot to keep Jesus in front and in focus in everything that we do.

I read a post this morning where the writer pointed to this verse (vs15) and wanted to remind us all that demons can not harm us today … and it was all because of Jesus’ cross.

Now many are taught how demons make us do the wrong things today in our lives. False, wrong and incorrect teachings might teach us that. We keep taking our eyes of Jesus and we focus on things we’ve been taught to be afraid of … we don’t need to be afraid of anything as long as we keep our eyes on Him.

Here are five (5) verses found in the Bible that help us keep our eyes fixed onto Jesus Christ.

Deuteronomy 31:6 ‘…Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee…’ AKJV

Proverbs 3

vs5 ‘…Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding…’

vs6 ‘…In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths…’ AKJV

Matthew 11

vs28 ‘…Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…’

vs29 ‘…Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls…’ AKJV

John 14:3 ‘…And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also…’ AKJV

1John 1:9 ‘…If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness…’ AKJV

We are told in many places in the Word we are to keep our eyes on Jesus … but to often, us humans are misled into looking in the wrong direction for what will save us.

Just for a moment, look around and see what is going on in this world that we live in, everything is rush, rush, rush.

Everything has to be NOW.

1 hour photo printing, overnight or 1 day delivery service, stores that are opened 24 hours a day for our convenience, but our focus is kept away from Jesus.

For years, I’ve had people tell me they don’t have time to read their Bibles, and I tell them about the audio Bible where the Bible is read to you as you go through your life every day.

God gave us the Word so we could have it whenever we needed it we didn’t have to wait for the public reading at the synagogue, and in some of the man-made churches today, they don’t even open a Bible and read from them, they instead have their own messages printed out and read aloud.

Spend your day in His Word and fill yourself with the LOVE that He has waiting for each one of us.

Trust the words that He has given us and  always keep Him up front and with you at ALL times.

Enjoy this holiday season not for a little old man in a red suit that flies through the air with flying reindeer, but instead remember what Jesus has done for us by giving up His life so that we could live Eternity in heaven in His presence.

I love ALL of y’all.

Wednesday 121025

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

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, we are nearing the celebration of what we recognize as Your birth. There are many that are fooled by the rules of mankind in this world today, we ask that every individual might be given the opportunity to OPEN Your Word and READ the truth that You have given us. We love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Exodus 3:4; Numbers 16:7; Deuteronomy 7:6; Joshua 9:27; 1Samuel 16:10; 2Samuel 6:21; 1Kings 14:21; Nehemiah 9:7; Psalm 33:12; Isaiah 14:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Daniel 4:25; Zechariah 1:17; Mark 3:14; Acts 9:15; 2Peter 3:15-16; 2Timothy 2:15;.

Over the past few months, I have been working on another book that I hope is accepted by many in this world. But as I was writing that book, I came across a flood of Bible verses that made me ask the question: why did mankind obey the choices that God made in the past, but when it comes to His last CHOICE, most people will not even recognize or FOLLOW it.

So, allow me to show you the verses I found in Scripture that shows us God making choices.

Exodus 3:4 ‘…The Lord saw that Moses came near to look at the bush. God spoke to Moses from inside the bush. He said, Moses! Moses! Moses answered, Here I am…’ ^EASY

Numbers 16:7 ‘…Light fires in them tomorrow, and burn incense before the Lord. Then we will see whom the Lord chooses as his holy one. You Levites are the ones who have gone too far…’ ^NLT

Deuteronomy 7:6 ‘…For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession…’ ^NIV

Joshua 9:27 ‘…But on that day Joshua made them gatherers of firewood and labor to draw water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord, to this day, in the place which He would choose…’ ^NASB

1Samuel 16:10 ‘…Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, The Lord has not chosen these…’ ^NIV

2Samuel 6:21 ‘…So David said to Michal, It was before the Lord [that I did this], who chose me above your father and all his house, to appoint me as ruler over Israel, the people of the Lord. Therefore, I will celebrate [in pure enjoyment] before the Lord…’ ^AMP

1Kings 14:21 ‘…Rehoboam son of Solomon was 41 years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled 17 years from Jerusalem, the city where the Lord had chosen to be worshiped. His mother Naamah was from Ammon…’ ^CEV

Nehemiah 9:7 ‘…You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram and took him from Ur of the Chaldeans and gave him the name Abraham…’ ^GW

Psalm 33:12 ‘…Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance…’ ^NIV

Isaiah 14:1 ‘…The Lord will once again be merciful to his people Israel and choose them as his own. He will let them live in their own land again, and foreigners will come and live there with them…’ ^GNT

Jeremiah 1:5 ‘…I chose you before I gave you life, and before you were born I selected you to be a prophet to the nations…’ ^GNT

Daniel 4:25 ‘…that you will be forced to live with the wild animals, far away from humans. You will eat grass like a wild animal and live outdoors for seven years, until you learn that God Most High controls all earthly kingdoms and chooses their rulers…’ ^CEV

Zechariah 1:17 ‘…Again proclaim, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts: My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The Lord will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem…’ ^NKJV

Mark 3:14 ‘…Then he chose twelve of them to be his apostles, so they could be with him. He also wanted to send them out to preach…’ ^CEV

All of these verses are showing God’s Choice. All of these verses can be found in the Word, that most of mankind today will follow and believe, and trust me, there are hundreds of more verses I haven’t included. But this next verse I’m going to show you, which is also found in Scripture, the majority of Christendom does not even know that this verse is in their Bibles, and it is this ONE verse that shows the MOST pivotable change in Biblical history.

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 of Tarsus to teach this entire world what He wants us to know and most of Christendom today, has missed it.

WHY have they missed it?

I think it is because Satan doesn’t want this entire world to see the truth.

Eyes have been covered by Satan so that most of this entire world has been kept blind from seeing the truth.

There are hundreds of thousands of people that will shout that the writings of Paul should be torn from our Bibles and thrown away … why would God give us His Word for us to edit it?

The original apostle Peter wrote:

2Peter 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

Are we NOT to BELIEVE Peter’s writings also?

Are we to tear Peter’s writings from our Bibles and throw them away too?

When Luke wrote in the book of Acts, that Saul was the CHOSEN VESSEL by Jesus to teach this entire world, are we NOT to BELIEVE Luke’s writings?

Are we to tear Luke’s writings from our Bibles and throw them away also?

Does that mean we should also tear out and throw away the gospel that Luke wrote to the Jews that so many in Christendom follow today?

Let me first ask the question: where is the verse found in the Bible that tells us that we can pick and choose which books we want to follow and obey that has been written in the Word?

The Word doesn’t tell us that we can get rid of the writings found inside our Bibles, but the Word does tell us how we MUST rightly divide the Word of Truth.

2Timothy 2:15 ‘…Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth…’ NKJV

Our Bibles are split up into two sections, the NT and the OT, I myself think the Bible should be sectioned into at least four (4) sections:

1 – ALL of mankind (Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 11:32)

2 – OT (Genesis 12:1 to Acts 8:40)

3 – NT (Acts 9:1 to Philemon 1:25)

4 – Kingdom (Hebrews 1:1 – Revelation 22:21)

Too many today, wake up on Sunday morning and debate whether or not they will be going to a church … God gave you the Word, OPEN your Bible and read what God has told us instead of going to a man-made building.

There are churches that meet on Sunday and Wednesday nights along with Sunday mornings … that’s not a bad thing but OPEN up your Bible and READ the words that God has given to us to learn from.

There are pastors, priest, churches and denominations that pay money so weekly sermons can be read to their congregations and there are others that don’t buy their sermons they just repeat their sermons, over and over again, every three years (I guess they figure people will not remember what was said three years earlier).

Where is it written that God said it was okay to write our own words to preach people about what we want them to hear?

There is too much of an emphasis put on preaching what mankind wants for others to hear instead of teaching what God wants mankind to HEAR.

There shouldn’t be another minute spent working on a Sunday morning sermon, it should be as simple as opening the Word of God and reading what God has already had written for us to learn from.

There’s too much emphasis put on how comfortable the seats are in church, how good is the coffee and how fresh are the donuts when instead we should be reading His Word together so we could all find the right way to God.

Instead, I’ve heard too many stories of laundry, and relatives riding on trains all across this country, when really, all any of us NEED to HEAR about is God’s GIFT and READ and study how He has given us His GRACE.

We should be taught how we MUST accept it.

We should be taught how we MUST BELIEVE it.

God wants each one of us to  be in His presence after this world ceases to exist, the big question is ‘do we really want to be with Him?’

Keep your Bible open and continue to study the words that God has given us in His Word.

Do yourself a very big favor and READ His Word so you can find out the truth for yourself.

No one else is going to read it to you today … you’re going to have to open the Bible and READ what He wants you to know.

Be WISE, pray to God and ask that the Holy Spirit would guide you through the words … RIGHTLY DIVIDING the truth and listening to the words God wants us to hear instead of being led around by Satan or his evildoers and hearing messages meant for earlier times.

Allow Him to guide you in His footsteps and  then you just need to FOLLOW Him.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, this world is full of those that want to FOLLOW what you want from us. Satan has infected this world with matters that will not ever save anyone. This world has been filled with at least 2000 years of lies regarding what you really want from us. I ask that You’d allow these other people the chance to HEAR what You want from us instead of hearing false messages from others. Please whisper in their ears while they sleep at night. Give them the opportunity to get themselves right with You before it is too late. I love You Jesus. Amen.

Good morning to you all, this morning I am going to speak on ‘MY’ personal feelings that I have been confronted with recently.

I must admit, I do not like social media, I’m on social media, I have two (2) Facebook accounts, I post my lessons on thirteen (13) different sites found online, but I frown at friendships that are based solely on words that are typed, using our thumbs.

At one point in my life, I had a very successful Bible study I held on Facebook LIVE every week. I had people joining in from nearly every state in our country. I enjoyed the confrontation, even if it was via a computer screen, I still felt that it didn’t involve using just my thumbs to communicate.

Well one day, I was confronted by an individual (it just so happened it was from a person that I was related to), this person disagreed with my message.

I’ve never been and in some way, I probably am still that way today, except today I have learned I can simply walk away … I don’t need to get into a long drawn out verbal argument over what I consider to be right or wrong.

Well just within the past month, once again I found myself in another disagreement with another group.

I found where there was this group, that I have recently been taught to name them the ‘alphabet crowd,’ mostly because it seems every other week another letter is included in their name (LGBTQ+ and whatever else), I am from this point on, simply going to call them the ‘alphabet crowd.’

I was confronted by text why I didn’t accept them or I didn’t respect them. I have no problem with this group or any group, if what they believe in, is how they desire to live their life, it is their life … it isn’t for me to judge, but, if that is what they want, so be it.

I made the comment to them; did they respect me or accept me because I disagreed with them? They in turn replied that I had to accept them … and I have to ask the question: where is that written anywhere?

The reason I don’t like social media is mostly because of me, in the past I was never able to just walk away and forget about it. The other day, when this person told me I needed to respect their choice, I simply closed my laptop, and the confrontation was finished.

But I still remain with this unanswered question, why does it take my acknowledgement of their actions and in their minds, they are then justified to continue with their lives, living it the way they want to?

I don’t accept that behavior, never have and never will … I can move on, but these individuals are lost because they cannot be recognized by us and what they are doing.

I simply do not understand what they are looking for.

If a person is doing something, anything and you need recognition from someone else that what you are doing is okay … you must yourself not fully agree that what you are doing is right?

Why do you need me to tell you whether it’s okay or not okay?

It’s never going to happen; I am never going to agree with what you are doing to yourself … why can’t you see that?

I read my Bible … I believe in God … I know that one day I am going to be in heaven, in the presence of Jesus Christ … I don’t need your approval on whether or not that is true.

I don’t require your respect so that I will know my promise is true.

I know it’s true because God told me it was true in His Word.

This morning is going to be a short word. I have found pastors on Facebook that I have become friends with, and yes, most times I am only able to communicate with them using my thumbs.

I wish I lived in a different state or there church was in my state that I live in, but they are not.

I live in the Bible belt but most of the churches around me have never opened a Bible when I visit them.

God gave me His Word for me to READ and to study. I trust the words that God has given me more than I trust some other human being standing behind a podium preaching some word their denomination is promoting  for the month.

The strongest relationship that anyone of us can have is our relationship with Jesus Christ.

We strengthen that relationship by reading His Word and finding out what He wants for us to know.

Pick up your Bible and open it and read of the LOVE that He has for each one of us.

I love ALL of y’all.

I typed a question this morning and asked google: where in the Bible are the Gentiles 1^st offered Everlasting Life?

I must admit, I was somewhat surprised at the answer.

Acts 13

vs46 ‘…But Paul and Barnabas were not afraid of them. They said to them, it was right that we first tell you who are Jews the message from God. But now you say that God’s message is not true. You have shown that you do not deserve true life with God. So, we will leave you now. We will go and tell this message to the Gentiles…’

vs47 ‘…The Lord God has also told us to do this. He said: I have chosen you to be like a light to the Gentiles. You must go to people everywhere in the world. You must tell them how God wants to save them…’

vs48 ‘…When the Gentiles there heard this, they were very happy. They thanked God for the message about the Lord Jesus. Many people believed in Jesus. They were the people that God had chosen to have true life with him…’ EASY (Easy English Bible)

If you have never taken the time to read chapter 13 of Acts, today would be a GREAT time for you to open your eyes and ears and see what God is telling us.

A verse that I’ve used many times from this chapter, vs9.

Acts 13:9 ‘…Then God filled Saul with the power of his Holy Spirit. (Saul was also now called Paul.) Paul looked straight at Elymas, and he said…’ EASY (Easy English Bible)

Acts chapter 9 is where Jesus CHOSE Saul to teach the entire world about Himself.

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)

I am unable to speak for our churches today in this country and why they continue to teach a message that is false.

I do know for a fact that the Word is hardly ever opened up and read today by many people living in this world.

A lot of these people would never even notice the amount of times they’ve been lied to.

There was this period in biblical history where the Jews thought it unfathomable that God would even consider offering Salvation to the Gentiles.

They thought this even though they themselves had turned their backs on the teachings that God had tried offering to them.

And as unbelievable as it is, there are Gentiles today that think they are the new ‘Jewish believer’ to start over for the Jew when in fact, God never abandoned the Jewish individual to begin with.

This misconception has been handed down, generation after generation and it’s never been true, it’s been a false message since the day it was first perceived.

The Jew has never been abandoned by God; but rather, he’s been put on the back burner..

Romans 11:11 ‘…So now I ask this: when Israel’s people failed to accept Jesus as God’s Messiah, did they make themselves separate from God forever? No, certainly that is not true! Because of their mistake, God is now saving Gentiles. God is doing that so that Israel’s people would become jealous…’ EASY (Easy English Bible)

God hasn’t abandoned the Jew; He is simply trying to make them jealous.

That has been written in Scripture.

What our churches are teaching today cannot be found written anywhere in the Bible, it is all man made gobbly gook.

Maybe we need to start requesting that our pastors start showing us where they are getting their information from when they preach to us on Sunday mornings.

Kind of like the commercial on television: SHOW ME THE CARFAX … maybe, we need to start demanding of our pastors: SHOW US IN THE WORD.

If for the first time that us Gentiles were told that we could attain Everlasting Life in chapter 13 in Acts, how and why do some churches preach John 3:16 as if it should mean anything to us?

Think of the souls that are walking down the wide path, aiming for the wide gate … all being led to slaughter by Satan himself.

Acts 13:45 ‘…But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)

This ‘blasphemy’ is the greatest sin a human being can commit.

I’ve wrote on this subject before in several of our lessons.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, we’ve been told is an unforgivable sin.

Matthew 12:31 ‘… 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…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)

We have been given the Word of God through the Holy Spirit.

2 Timothy 3

vs16 ‘…All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…’

vs17 ‘…that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works…’ AKJV (Authorized King James Version)

If we are told the truth in the Word, I would be very skeptical to believe in something different than what God has told us.

Foolishness is going to be unforgiveable when a person is standing in front of the throne of Jesus awaiting judgement.

This has been a long short study this morning, I think it has to be obvious, the only thing we can trust is the Word of God.

What other men teach us is most likely their own opinion of what has been given to them.

LEARN from this.

OPEN your Bible and READ it for yourself and let God teach you what He wants for you to HEAR.

I love ALL of y’all.

This month, many of us are going to celebrate the holiday, Christmas. I am not going to voice the pro’s or con’s that are involved in just this one holiday.

There is so much that is simply Pagan, that is celebrated on this day, just as there is so much that is celebrating Jesus Christ.

Now we should all know that Jesus’ birthday was not on December 25^th. December 25^th is the day, millions of individuals celebrate the memory of His birth.

There is no jolly old man named Santa that lives in the north pole delivering presents throughout the world guiding reindeer that fly through the air.

But just as God gave each one of us a GIFT, mankind throughout the world, does the same thing and gives gifts to one another.

Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God…’ AKJV

Don’t allow yourself to be caught up in a man-made subject that is not going to solve anything.

Celebrate this time of year as being the season when we can recognize what God has done for us.

Celebrate this season by looking up to Him and thanking Him for what He has given us.

Yes this world is full of evil, but don’t focus on that evil, put your focus on His love and share that with those you meet throughout your day.

Here are some facts that can be found online about this holiday.

The first time Christmas was officially celebrated on a specific date was December 25, 336 AD. This occurred after the Roman Emperor Constantine had converted to Christianity and recognized it as a legal religion. If someone told you that Christmas is religious … you knew that it wasn’t, but you let it slide, don’t alter their feelings.

Christmas, December 25^th is just simply the day that Jesus’ birth is celebrated on throughout the world.

There is nothing in the Word that says we should celebrate Jesus’ birth on December 25^th, and there is nothing that says we will be punished if we don’t celebrate His birth on that day.

Get over it … it’s not a big deal.

What is more important is that we know that Jesus died on a cross to forgive us our sins that we’ve all committed throughout our lives.

Jesus died on a cross nearly 2000 years before we were even born.

Remember that Jesus was resurrected back to life by God the Father in heaven after His crucifixion on the cross.

God offered us a GIFT through His GRACE that could save us from damnation.

Through our FAITH in God, we are saved.

These are things the Bible tells us are true.

These things will assure us Everlasting Life in the presence of Jesus after this world is completed.

OPEN your Bibles and READ of the love that God has for you.

There is so much today that is untrue, there is so much evil trying to get you influenced in a certain way, just sit back and OPEN your own Bible and allow God to speak to you and teach you what He wants you to know.

I love ALL of y’all.

Merry Christmas.
