pre-trib rapture – part6

the Body of Christ

Wednesday 082725

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,  Amen.

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

Leviticus 25:4; Daniel 9:24; Acts 9:15; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 15:51-52; Deuteronomy 29:29; 2 Timothy 4:1-4; Romans 1:21-25, 1:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4.

Last night as I lay in bed, drifting off into a relaxing sleep, I pondered on how I could easily show how Jesus’ church, you and me, how we MUST be removed from this earth before God’s final act can be put into action so this world, His world, can come into completion.

First we must define what is this final act of God.

This Final Act or the end of this world occurs with the seven years of Tribulation that God has foretold that will occur against the Jewish (Israel) people for their failure to obey Gods command.

God’s command was for the land to rest.

Leviticus 25:4 ‘…but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard…’ AKJV

God crippled the children of Israel by assigning seventy weeks (490 years) of punishment on them for their failure to adhere to His demand for them to allow the land to rest every seventh year.

In the book of Daniel, the punishment of seventy weeks is found.

Daniel 9:24 ‘…Seventy weeks (seventy times seven years) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy…’ AKJV

The first 49 years (7 weeks): This period corresponds to the rebuilding of the city walls by Nehemiah.

The next 434 years (62 Weeks): This period is a gap between the first 49 years and the Messiah’s coming.

The Messiah’s Coming: The prophecy indicates that the Messiah will be cut off (crucified) at the end of the 69th week (483 years from the starting point). 

The 70th Week: This week is described as a covenant that the prince who is to come will make with many, and in the middle of the week, he will cause the offering and the sacrifice to cease. This is often interpreted as a new, seven-year period after the first 69 weeks, leading to the destruction of Jerusalem.

This seventy (70) weeks of punishment was charged onto only the Jewish people. Us Gentiles were not even thought of as being saved by any of the people walking this earth.

The most pivotable verse found in the entire Bible is Acts 9:15 where God voices how He is going to offer Salvation not only to the Jewish people, but He is also going to include the Gentile nation.

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

Gentiles have been accepted into a relationship with God as being a part of the Body of Christ.

1 Corinthians 12

vs12 ‘…For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also, is Christ…’

vs13 ‘…For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit…’ AKJV

It is this Body of Christ that raises one of the more misunderstood questions found in the entire Word of God, mostly though, because people will not read the Word so they can find out what has been written.

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

Maybe one of the more misunderstood words found in the Bible is the word MYSTERY.

Ask yourself, what is a mystery, what is God’s mystery.

It’s a secret.

Naysayers out there will say well God can’t keep secrets from us and I’d shout right back to them out loud, where in the Word are we told that?

But we ARE told in the Word that God DOES have secrets:

Deuteronomy 29:29 ‘…The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law…’ AKJV

Moses foretold in his writings that God kept secrets.

Our churches forget to preach that to us.

Unfortunately for so many, our churches have forgotten to preach to us a lot of what is written in the Word of God.

Too often, churches preach what their congregations want to hear … they preach what they want you to know.

Did you know, the Word has foretold to us that that is what was going to happen?

2 Timothy 4

vs1 ‘…I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom…’

vs2 ‘…preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine…’

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

God knew this was going to happen … and most people on this planet would also know if they were to open their own Bibles and read the words that God has given us in His Word.

Churches today don’t want you to read your Bibles … why you might ask.

Well how do you think churches stay in business?

They remain because people keep them profitable. They make money off their congregations.

All of these pastors and priests, churches and denominations are one day going  to pay for their misdeeds against God.

Romans 1

vs21 ‘…because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened…’

vs22 ‘…Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…’

vs23 ‘…and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things…’

vs24 ‘…Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves…’

vs25 ‘…who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen…’ AKJV

God knew this was going to happen.

This is just one more reason why God gave us His Word so we could read the Truth for ourselves.

But there are so  many out there in this world today that desire to not know the truth. Hundreds of excuses will arise why they cant sit down and read the Word  for themselves. Most times its because they don’t understand the Word or they will say they don’t have the time.

Either one, it doesn’t matter, it’s just an excuse … there is no excuse.

Romans 1:20 ‘…For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse…’ AKJV

We are coming close to this lengthy group of lessons, finally.

Paul informs us how he does not want us to be ignorant, unknowing.

He wants for each one of us to learn the truth that we are going to need so we can live Eternity in Jesus’ presence.

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…’

vs18 ‘…Wherefore comfort one another with these words…’ AKJV

The final week (seven years) of promised punishment for the children of Israel remains but it cannot happen until Jesus’ church is removed from this world.

2 Thessalonians 2

vs1 ‘…Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him…’

vs2 ‘…that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand…’

vs3 ‘…Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition…’

vs4 ‘…who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God…’ AKJV

Open your Bibles and read the words God wants for you to HEAR.

Don’t make excuses why you don’t have the time, tell yourself you have time right now … OPEN THE WORD OF GOD and READ.

I’ll be back next Wednesday.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, I hope over these past weeks I have been able to voice the words You desired for me to share. Grab ahold of these people and make them understand how important it is for them to begin before it is too late. I love You Jesus. Amen.

pre-trib rapture – part5

Jesus’ CHOSEN vessel

Wednesday 082025

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, walk with us this morning as we study the Word You have given us. We love You Jesus. Amen.

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

1 Corinthians 3:9; Ephesians 2:8; 2 Timothy 3:16, 2:15; Matthew 26:28, 15:24; Acts 9:15, 13:9.

This Sunday morning, thousands upon thousands of people are going to wake up, get dressed and drive to their local church buildings because they believe that is what God wants from us.

We have to ask ourselves, where is that written in the Word of God … anywhere?

While studying this morning, I found a verse that maybe we should all visit.

1 Corinthians 3:9 ‘…For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building…’ AKJV

Too many people today rush to hear another human being tell them about God. They rush so they can listen to what they desire to hear.

In most cases, they don’t hear what has been written in the Word of God, they opt on hearing a man-made interpretation of what a human being understands or what their denomination believes in.

Where is it written in the Word of God that that will get any one of us into heaven?

Where is it written in the Word of God that that is what God has planned for our Salvation?

Where is it written in the Word of God that that is why Jesus gave up His life and shed His Blood on the cross for us?

Let’s throw out our anchor and settle in right here for a little while and look at this verse in several different versions.

1 Corinthians 3:9

‘…For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building…’ NIV

‘…For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building…’ NLT

‘…For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building…’ NKJV

‘…For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building…’ NASB

Almost the same writing, almost the same exact wording, in just about every English version translation.

The apostle Paul journeyed throughout the land during his ministry. He didn’t have ‘A’ church where people could come and listen to him preach the Message that Jesus had given to him, he travelled to different cities so other people could hear his Message.

The apostle Paul actually was fulfilling the Great Commission that Jesus had originally suggested to the original remaining apostles, but they never left their residence in Jerusalem.

Paul visited the city of Corinth in the southern part of Greece where there was a temple to Aphrodite, the Greek female god of love. To live like a Corinthian meant to become a drunk often or to visit prostitutes, another words in a way, that is how America is today.

Our entire country may not all get drunk or all visit prostitutes but how many in our country get high and use other drugs? How many of us in America watch pornography? How many Americans cheat on their spouses, cheat on their kids, cheat on their taxes and cheat at their jobs?

In reality, America is very much like Corinth.

Paul journeyed to take people the good news about Jesus and spread the Message.

Paul spread the Message that is found today in the Word of God, from the book of Romans through Philemon. Most churches today, they don’t even open the Word of God up to help celebrate the Message that God has given us, instead people will sit for a few minutes to hear an interpretation of how someone read something, sometimes it might be the Bible they read or other times they are nothing but interpretations of other denominational papers.

God gave us the Word of God so we could inherit an Everlasting future Life after this world has ended for us.

Most of the churches throughout the land want you to know you MUST do something to receive that inheritance, but I find it funny, God tells us in His Word that His GIFT is FREE, all we have to do is BELIEVE.

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

I missed the part that tells me I NEED to tithe.

I missed the part that tells me I NEED to go to church every Sunday, and some churches also include Sunday and Wednesday nights.

I missed the part that tells me I NEED to give up meat on Friday.

I missed the part that tells me I NEED to ring bells and jump through hoops or do anything.

A lot of what has been taught to us today is nothing short of being one big fat lie.

Open your Bibles and READ the Word of God for yourself and see if I’m not telling you the truth.

Lets go back to the apostle Paul and His ministry spreading the words Jesus gave him in a revelation.

There are many people that do not believe the words written by Paul. There are some that think Paul’s writings should be ripped from our Bibles and thrown away.

We are told in:

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

An important point I make from this verse is that we are told we are to LEARN from all Scripture, but nowhere in that verse or anywhere else in the Word are we told we are supposed to FOLLOW all Scripture.

Here is another verse for you:

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

The words we should focus on is ‘rightly dividing the Word of Truth.’

The more we study the Word, the more we will be able to see which parts of the Word have been meant for us and what parts were written to other people.

Jesus died on the cross to forgive all mankind of all their sins, Jesus tells His apostles that at their last supper.

Matthew 26:28 ‘…for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…’ AKJV

On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We should celebrate that it was Jesus’ death that freed us from our sins and so many in Christendom immediately after Easter will return back to Jesus’ birth.

It’s almost like these people don’t want their sins to be forgiven.

Most of Christendom reads weekly from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (MMLJ). These gospels were written to the Jewish believer, to keep them enthused and moving forward.

They were written to try and convince the Orthodox Jews into converting to their way of believing that Jesus was the promised Messiah to the earlier forefathers.

Jesus came to this earth to fulfill the earlier prophesies; Jesus told us this Himself.

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

Jesus died on the cross to forgive all mankind of all their sins and three days later, He was resurrected back to life and Jesus moved forward, on with His Life and His promise. Too much of Christendom keeps returning back to Jesus’ teachings except, Jesus didn’t do that after He was resurrected.

Tell these people to move on.

So, after the crucifixion, in the Word of God is the book of Acts, written by Luke, the same writer that wrote the gospel of Luke.

Acts 1 through Acts 8 reminds people what Jesus had been trying to overcome and conquer while He walked this earth but after the stoning death of Stephen in Acts 7, God made a very pivotable move in biblical history.

God no longer looked solely at His Chosen (preferred) people, God determined to save the entirety of ALL mankind on the face of the earth.

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 spoke to Ananias (a member of the Way, a Jew that believed that Jesus was the Messiah promised to the Jewish forefathers) who lived in Damascus, and told him to go to Saul of Tarsus and baptize him for He (Saul) was Jesus’ CHOSEN vessel to teach the entire world, ‘the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel (the Jews).’

This is Luke, the writer of the gospel of Luke, telling about Saul being the CHOSEN vessel, CHOSEN by Jesus and the majority of Christendom doesn’t even know this verse in their Bibles.

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

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.

It seems my messages have all turned into repetitive words.

I’m repeating just like Christendom does every Sunday, year after year, so-called christians travel from Easter Sunday right back into the stable, stuck in a time warp they are not allowed to get out from under.

Move forward from Easter Sunday. Read the book of Acts and study the words that Jesus wants us to HEAR before this world ends.

I’ll see y’all next Wednesday.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, I know I am in a repetitive loop. I am unable to move forward. I hope to close this group of lessons shortly, concluding Your greatest GIFT for us, the rapture of Your church. Keep me from wandering onto a subject that is different from what You desire for us to HEAR. I love You Jesus. Amen.

pre-trib rapture – part4

CHOOSE to FOLLOW Jesus’ CHOICE

Wednesday 081325

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, again this morning, there are those out there in this world hungry for Your Word and Your promise. Allow them Jesus to remain with us in Your Word and hopefully they will be able to HEAR You speak to them. We love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Romans 16:25; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 9:1-3, :6a, :6b, :10-14, :15.

Romans 16

vs25 ‘…Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began…’ AKJV

Now there are many in our world today that will not listen to or even read Paul’s writings.

These people claim how Paul’s writings are fake, how they are different than the teachings of Jesus and in a way these people are correct, Jesus came to teach and preach to the Jewish believers.

The four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were all written to and for those Jews that believed that Jesus was the Messiah, that Jesus was sent to fulfill OT prophecies.

Paul claims the Gospel as ‘his Gospel,’ because he is the one that penned it. He was given the Gospel in his revelation by Jesus Christ, but this Gospel was written by Paul, not MMLJ (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

Here is the Gospel that Paul gave us:

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

It is this Gospel that Paul gave us that is our promise of Everlasting Life after we physically die.

Eighty percent (80%) of Christendom are going to miss out on the promise of Life in the presence of Jesus, for eternity.

They instead are going to accept an eternal life of torment and destruction because of their inability to listen to God’s Word.

Too many so-called Christians today study the life and teachings of Jesus in His earthly ministry. Jesus’ earthly ministry was to save the orthodox Jews.

Satan has clouded the eyes of most of mankind keeping them from seeing the truth that has been written in the Word of God. The only thing that can save us is God’s Word and we MUST open the Word and begin reading so our eyes can clearly see what God is trying to show us.

Most people today are caught up on a pastor or their priests’ Sunday sermon. They get hung up on messages made for people, ages ago. They listen to the quiet whispers of Satan rather than listening to the words that God has given to us in His Word.

That’s why I am here. That’s what has been my prayer for several years, that I could be used by Jesus to help Him spread the Message He wants for us ALL to HEAR today and forget about what is talked about inside of a building.

Jesus wants us to be His Church, the Body of Christ, not go to some man-made building that has four walls, a floor, roof and a steeple that calls itself a church.

READ the Word of God and allow Him to show you the correct way.

FOLLOW Jesus’ lead and move onward with Him. Stop being led around and trapped in a time warp from Jesus’ birth in a stable to His death on a cross, just to return back to a stable.

Jesus was resurrected from His tomb to LIVE, not to return so He could die, over and over again.

After the Jews for centuries, had killed God’s prophets and eventually had Jesus, Himself killed and crucified on a cross, and after Stephen was stoned to death (Acts 7) by the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem, God changed His mind focusing solely on His Chosen people, the Jews.

God decided to offer SALVATION to ALL mankind. Acts 9 in the Word of God, shows ALL of us, the change in direction that God has determined to go.

Acts 9

vs1 ‘…And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest…’

vs2 ‘…and desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem…’

vs3 ‘…And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven…’ AKJV

Jesus made His move. Our human free-will comes to play once again. We can move forward and FOLLOW Jesus’ move or we can return like so many back to a stable and be held down again by Satan and his desire to have us all fail.

Acts 9:6a ‘…And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do…’ AKJV

Most of mankind begins every day just in this way as Saul did back 2000 years ago. The thing we MUST learn from right here, is we should listen to what God tells us and forget about what Satan whispers in our ear trying to hold us back in that stable.

Move onward and finish verse 6.

Acts 9:6b ‘… And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do…’ AKJV

Move forward and FOLLOW Jesus’ lead.

Once again, Satan tries to hold this world back again.

Acts 9

vs10 ‘…And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord…’

vs11 ‘…And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth…’

vs12 ‘…and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight…’

vs13 ‘…Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem…’

vs14 ‘…and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name…’ AKJV

We could easily listen to Satan and miss out on the promise Jesus is trying to offer us.

How many excuses can we find every week?

But the church we visit: has a good pastor or the church has a nice priest. The seats in the building are so comfortable. It’s so hot outside, the church has a good A/C. The coffee and donuts are outstanding. The carpeting in new.

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 speaking to Ananias in a dream, telling Ananias to GO.

Ananias didn’t return back to the stable to hear about Jesus’ birth. Ananias CHOSE to FOLLOW Jesus’ CHOICE.

CHOOSE to FOLLOW Jesus’ CHOICE.

This should be the anthem played continuously, worldwide.

FOLLOW Jesus and FOLLOW what has been written in the Word of God.

STOP listening to Satan and his lies.

The book of Acts is that part of the Bible MOST of Christendom will stumble on.

The book of Acts is the direction Jesus leads us into after His death on the cross.

Take ahold of the resurrected Jesus and FOLLOW in the direction He wants you to go.

I love ALL of y’all.

I’ll be back in another week so we again can study more about what God wants us to know from His Word.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, bless those this morning that seek You. Keep them safe and in Your arms. We love You Jesus. Amen.

pre-trib rapture – part3

Jesus DIED on the cross for ALL mankind

Wednesday 080625

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, there is at least ONE person out there this morning, that desires to HEAR Your true Message. Allow me Jesus to be that voice for You so that at least that one person out there can HEAR You speak. Allow me to echo what You want for this world to HEAR. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Ephesians 3:1-3; Deuteronomy 29:29; Ephesians 3:4; 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Matthew 26:28; Ephesians 2:8.

As we begin this lesson this morning, we are going to start with the dispensation that Paul was given to him by Jesus Christ, for him to share with us, Gentiles.

Now throughout Paul’s ministry, the Jews fought him every step that he made throughout his ministry. The Jew could not believe that their God would have anything to do with the Gentile nation.

It is funny because the Jewish religion would not have anything to do with Jesus Christ either, the promised Messiah from their God in heaven.

And just as funny, are those that today claim to be Christians, they go to church every Sunday morning, sometimes Sunday and Wednesday nights, and yet they don’t read their Bibles, or if they do, they never wander from where their pastor tells them to read.

These so-called Christians won’t have anything to do with the Jesus that is found in the book, the Word of God.

All these people have to do is open up their Bibles and read the words that God has given us.

How many times do you hear them voice aloud how they just don’t have time to sit and read the Word of God, or they don’t understand what has been written in the Word of God.

I tell these people, FINE, get yourself an audio Bible and listen to the words that God has given us.

STOP listening to the lies your pastor, priest, church or denomination is telling you.

People will use any imaginable excuse they can think of today except realizing they better get on board.

There is not a person alive today that knows for sure when the end is coming.

If you hear any individual quoting times when the end is coming, you can call them a liar, especially if you read the Word because you’ll know Jesus informed us the end is not for us to know when it’s going to happen, the end is for us to be … READY.

So, let’s begin this morning’s lesson:

Ephesians 3

vs1 ‘…For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles…’

vs2 ‘…if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward…’

vs3 ‘…how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words)…’

There are people that will not believe or even read Paul’s writings because of this so-called ‘mystery.’

They’ll say where does Paul get off saying that God claims a ‘MYSTERY’ or that He can keep secrets from us.

If they would read their Bibles, they could see.

Moses wrote of these secrets way back in his time. From the book of Deuteronomy:

Deuteronomy 29:29 ‘…The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law…’ AKJV

God has kept secrets throughout history. In fact, He may still have secrets He is keeping from us today. that is His SOVERIGNITY. God can do whatever it is that He desires to do, HE IS GOD. if He couldn’t, He couldn’t be God.

Ephesians 3

vs4 ‘…whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ…’

It is written: when we READ the Word of God that we might be able to understand what God is trying to tell us.

The verse isn’t telling us when our pastor reads to us, or our church is reading to us, it is written WHEN WE READ.

Jumping away from Ephesians for a moment, go to:

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

The Bible isn’t like the writings: ‘Gone with the Wind’ or ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ or ‘The Great Gatsby’ or ‘Lord of the Rings.’

The Bible is the Word of God that we have been given so we can attain Everlasting, Eternal Life.

The MORE we study the Word of God, the better off we will be.

From this verse in 2 Timothy, it is written that we will be able to rightly divide the word of truth.

There are parts of the Bible that are not for us. When God told Adam and Eve they could eat any food except the fruit from ‘THAT’ tree, none of that message is for us to follow today. It’s there for us to study and learn from but we’ve not been told what NOT to eat.

The ten commandments that God gave to the Jewish people, none of that message, those ten commandments or any part of the law is for us, GENTILES, to obey today or to follow. It’s there for us to study and learn from but we’ve not been told we had to obey those commands.

Jesus earthly ministry, Jesus came to this earth to teach the Jews and to fulfill OT prophesy that was promised to the forefathers of the Jewish nation, Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

But Jesus’ earthly ministry isn’t for us to follow today.

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 found in the Word of God has been given to us to learn from, but nowhere are we told we are to FOLLOW all the Word found in all 66 books.

Let’s return back to Ephesians and begin to close this morning’s lesson.

Ephesians 3

vs5 ‘…which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit…’

vs6 ‘…that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel…’

vs7 ‘…whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power…’ AKJV

Maybe one of the stronger points that I could pass on to that one individual out there, hungry for what God wants from us is to speak on the ‘GOSPEL’ written about in vs6.

The Gospel that we have been given was not written by Matthew, Mark, Luke or John (MMLJ).

The Gospel that is written about in vs6 is found in:

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

Jesus, at the last supper with His original twelve apostles said this:

Matthew 26:28 ‘…for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…’ AKJV

Jesus was telling them that He was going to be killed, and His BLOOD was going to be shed for the remission of sins.

The definition of remission is: the cancelation of a debt, charge or penalty.

Jesus was crucified, He died on the cross, He was buried in a tomb and then three days later He was resurrected to show us that LIFE, after death was possible.

Jesus’ death on the cross was for ALL of us … all we have to do is believe.

So many recite John 3:16 as the verse found in our Bibles that can save them.

John 3:16 was written by the apostle John to the Jewish believers, to save them.

Ephesians 2:8 has been written for the Gentile believer to always remind them of the GIFT God has given and promised to us.

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

This GIFT is our promise of Eternal Life with Jesus Christ.

After Jesus was resurrected from His tomb, He moved forward, and He carried on.

When we celebrate Easter Sunday, we are remembering the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we should move on and FOLLOW Him.

Not return back to His Life and His earthly ministry, Jesus is alive and well in His earthly ministry and He died for us to move on, to FOLLOW Him not to return back to when He was living.

Begin and continue a new journey, beginning  in Acts 1. By Acts 7 and the stoning death of Stephen, God makes a pivotable change in biblical history.

God gave us a NEW, DISPENSATION, a dispensation that many in this world have missed.

I place all of this missing out on Satan, I believe he is the cause for so many missing this move of God.

READ Acts 9 and begin the journey that Satan has kept hidden from so many.

I love ALL of y’all.

I will be back next Wednesday where we will pick up on this last dispensation.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, bless every person that reads this lesson. Allow each one of them the courage to voice to others so more might be able to find You before it is too late. Thank You for loving me … thank You for teaching me that love … and thank You for allowing me to love You back. I love You Jesus. Amen.

pre-trib Rapture – part2

Move FORWARD and FOLLOW Jesus

Wednesday 073025

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, this morning I want to teach us how to follow and forget about us wanting to lead. Stay with us this morning Jesus and teach us how we should FOLLOW Your CHOICE. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Exodus 19:1-6; Matthew 15:24, 10:5-6; Acts 10:19; Matthew 28:19; Acts 8:1, 9:15; Matthew 26:28.

After God chose the Jewish nation (in favor of all mankind on the face of the earth), the Jewish nation felt better than any other people on the earth, they felt more important than any other.

Here is a tiny excerpt taken from the book of Exodus which gives us a brief glimpse of God choosing the children of Israel fleeing Egypt, crossing of the Red Sea and God defeating the Egyptian army, where God met with Moses and the Jewish nation and how God chose them as being special.

Maybe as important is at the end of vs5, God voices His SOVERNITY towards the entire earth: ‘…for all the earth is mine…’

Later in Exodus, God gave the Israelites, the ten commandments and the law they were to obey.

Exodus 19

vs1 ‘…In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai…’

vs2 ‘…For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount…’

vs3 ‘…And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel…’

vs4 ‘…Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself…’

vs5 ‘…Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine…’

vs6 ‘…and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel…’ AKJV

It should be noted (I believe), this is what has caused this entire world, throughout history, to be against and jealous of the Jewish people.

God protected them, through battle. God favored His people and blessed them. Others were and became jealous of God’s Chosen people.

The Jews did a lot of damage on their own also.

They flaunted themselves in front of other nations showing they were better off than others, this only grew the hatred even more.

Jesus came to this earth to fulfill OT prophesy of promises made to the Jewish forefathers, Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

Jesus told us Himself He had only come for the Jewish people (house of Israel).

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

Throughout Jesus’ earthly ministry, He continued to remind His disciples not to go to the Gentiles but rather ONLY go to the house of Israel (the Jews).

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

God wanted the Jews to stay away from the Gentile world because God didn’t want His Chosen to pick up the bad habits of idol worship like the Gentiles.

There is nowhere in the Word of God, where any man or any nation, has been told to take the place of the children of Israel, to simply replace them.

This is nothing but a man-made lie spread throughout this world by false preachers.

This is also maybe the number one reason why the Word of God MUST be read, for and by ourselves, so we can see and HEAR the words that God wants for each one of us to have.

God wants us to HEAR the truth, HIS TRUTH and not listen to all of the man-made lies that are everywhere today in all of the fake and false religions found in and throughout this world.

As we are reading the Word of God, after the crucifixion and the ascension of Jesus, the Jewish individual still ONLY spread the message of God, to no one other than, the Jews (the circumcised).

Acts 10:19 ‘…Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only…’ AKJV

Even before this verse found in Acts 10, after Jesus Himself told His apostles to go out into this world and spread His Message onto the entire world, His apostles never left Jerusalem.

In Matthew 28 v19 we can read of what is called today as the Great Commission.

Matthew 28:19 ‘…Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…’ AKJV

Unfortunately, Jesus’ apostles relied more heavily on the words God orated throughout history of not going to the Gentiles and how they were to remain and stay with the house of Israel.

It seems after the crucifixion, whenever we hear about the apostles, the remaining eleven, they 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

Jesus was never able to get His disciples to go out and teach His Message to the Gentiles.

Maybe this is why Jesus CHOSE an entirely different apostle to spread His Message to the entire world.

We can read in Acts 9 vs15 of Jesus’ CHOSEN vessel to teach the ENTIRE world about His Message.

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 found in the Word, is probably the MOST pivotable verse in our entire Bible.

Acts 9:15 is a verse of Jesus, the Resurrected and Ascended Jesus Christ, speaking to Ananias in a vision, as Ananias slept.

Ananias, a Jewish disciple living in Damascus spoke to Jesus about all of the terrible stories he had heard of this man named Saul.

But Jesus told Ananias to GO, for Saul was Jesus’ Chosen Vessel.

The prejudice found in this world over Jesus’ choice is going to lead millions down the trail to the wide gate.

We shouldn’t be putting our future in the hands of a hail Mary, last quarter play that will determine where we are going to spend eternity.

There are millions upon millions that are going to spend their eternity in the pits of torment and destruction.

Rather than listening to Jesus’ CHOICE and hearing the words that He has given us through the Word of God, many choose to follow their own choice and listen to a pastor, priest, church or denomination that will never be able to save them.

Grab a hold of your Bibles today and open to the words that God wants you to HEAR.

After Jesus was crucified, died and buried and resurrected back to life, He moved forward. He moved forward to show us the way, the only way.

All we have to do is FOLLOW Jesus.

Follow in His footsteps as He moves forward.

Why would we return back to Jesus’ earthly ministry?

It was Jesus’ DEATH that forgave us of ALL of our sins, it was Jesus’ BLOOD.

Matthew 26:28 ‘…for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…’ AKJV

Jesus told us this at the last supper, before He had died.

The Bible is important for us to HEAR.

The Bible is how we are shown how we can live.

Open your Bibles and READ the words that God has given us in His Word, the Word of God.

I love all of y’all.

Keep your Bibles opened and continue to study the Word of God.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, this morning we hopefully were able to show people other writings found in Your Word that has been meant for us ALL to see and HEAR. Help those Father that are going to have a difficult time seeing these messages that these churches have kept from their congregations ears. There are so many out there who are hungry for Your Word. Help me spread Your Message. I love You Jesus. Amen.

Pre-trib Rapture – part 1

Dispensation

Wednesday 072325

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, we begin this morning on a journey that has been made for Your glory. Jesus over this next month, maybe more, Your Message is so important to so many in this world today. Help me Jesus present Your Message so others can HEAR and keep my own biases away. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

1 Corinthians 9:17; Ephesians 1:10, 3:2; Colossians 1:25; Acts 9:15; Romans 11:11.

1 Corinthians 9:17 ‘…For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me…’ AKJV

Ephesians 1:10 ‘…that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him…’ AKJV

Ephesians 3:2 ‘…if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward …’ AKJV

Colossians 1:25 ‘…whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God…’ AKJV

A DISPENSATION is a period of time during which God deals with the human race in a particular way.

Easiest and maybe the best example is if we were to compare a dispensation to a prescription.

Example a man goes to the doctor for a bad cough. The doctor writes him a prescription for some medicine with directions. The man goes home.

A short time later, the man has a battle with his arthritis. The doctor again writes him a prescription for some medicine with directions. The man goes home.

After a while, both bottles of medicine, are halfway empty/full, so to save space, the man combines both bottles into one, but by doing so, he loses the directions that the doctor gave him for how to take the medicine.

This is what our churches have done today to the Word of God. They have taken the entire bottle (the entire Bible), and they’ve told their followers to apply the entire bottle (Bible) into their lives, they’ve taken the entire Word of God, put it in a blender and tuned the blender onto high … nowhere are we told to do that in the Word of God. Nowhere in Scripture have we been told to obey the entire Bible.

Here is an example of a dispensation:

Adam and Eve were in the garden and God told them to NOT eat the fruit from that one tree. That’s all they had to believe in. From what we know from the Word, Adam and Eve did eat the fruit from that tree and they were dispelled from the garden.

Those of us alive today, we have no tree that we are not to eat from. That demand was from an earlier dispensation.

Here is another dispensation:

The Israelites (Jews) were given the ten commandments. There is no other people that were supposed to keep the commandments because they were never given them, ONLY the Jews (Israelites) were given the law. From what we can determine from the Word of God, we know the Jews were unable to keep the law.

God gave many things to the Jewish people; God gave the Jews Jesus Christ as a gift to free them from their sins. Again, from history, we can read in the Word that the Jews didn’t believe Jesus was the
Son of God and eventually, God turned His back onto His beloved people, and He looked to the Gentile nation.

There are two (2) types of people defined in the Word of God. There were Jews (Israelites, the Jewish people) and non-Jew (Gentiles, everyone NOT Jewish).

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

In Acts 9:15, we are shown a new dispensation of God. God is no longer ONLY interested in saving His Chosen people (the Jews). God CHOSE to save ALL mankind. Not ALL mankind to replace the Jews. God changed so that now, He was going to save ALL mankind, period.

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

‘…I say then, Have they (the Jews) stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their (the Jews) fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them (the Jews) to jealousy…’

God made a CHOICE to make a change. God didn’t have to ask us if that was okay, God is SOVERIGN, He can do whatever He desires.

Through the entire Word of God, we have been instructed to FOLLOW. But for so many in this world, in their own man-made churches and religions, many people have decided to go out on their own and follow their own rules.

Too many individuals have decided to go off on their own.

They have decided to select human individuals they would rather follow and obey instead of FOLLOWING the words that God has given us in His Word, the Word of God.

God gave us, those living today, a new dispensation that we were to follow and there are so many that have turned their backs onto what God wants from us.

They instead have decided to follow their pastor, their priest, their church or their denomination; but none of those things can ‘GIVE’ Everlasting Life.

Only God can give life.

This morning is a short lesson, but rather than just going off on your own, keep your Bibles open and continue to study the words that God has given us.

Continue to read how He wants to save us.

This group of lessons I have prepared for the next month, I hope are able to open your eyes and show you what is written in the Word, so maybe you can stop listening to the lies and half truths spoken in your churches.

I love ALL of y’all.

I will be back next Wednesday with more.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, bless those people reading this lesson. Help them Father get on board with how You want us to live our lives for You and let them turn their backs to all the falsehoods claimed by Satan and his evil false prophets spreading nothing but lies. We love You Jesus. Amen.

READ the Word of God

Wednesday 071625

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 Your Word is needed throughout this entire world. Satan’s message has polluted many  of the minds that can be found. Too many voices, preaching words that have no value are being spread around the nations adding nothing but grief and torment onto many. I ask Jesus that just for a brief moment, You’d allow Your Word to be heard by a few in the hope that some might be able to find the promise You have given to us. We love You Jesus. Amen.

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

1 Corinthians 15:3; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:13; Exodus 19:1; 1 John 2:2; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 26:28; Acts 9:15.

I would rather not disagree with all of the religious leaders and theologians found in this world today, but so much of what is preached, is unable to be found anywhere in the Word of God.

The Word of God warns us of such false messages from false prophets, preaching nothing lies, nothing what comes from their mouths have we been told to believe.

I see an advertisement on the television by a very popular religious leader, where he states that those watching his ad needs to join him in prayer, where he asks Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins.

Jesus already forgave every sin that has ever been committed by mankind when He was crucified on the cross.

1 Corinthians 15:3 ‘…For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures …’ AKJV

Romans 5:8 ‘…But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us …’ AKJV

Ephesians 1:7 ‘…in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace…’ AKJV

The ‘law’ was given to the Israelites, NOT to be obeyed, but to inform them how they were incorrectly living their lives.

Galatians 3:13 ‘…Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree…’ AKJV

God gave Moses the law, for him to give to the Israelites, so they could realize the sins that they were committing.

Moses received the law from God; it is written about in Exodus 19:1 – 20:21.

Exodus 19:1 ‘…In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai…’ AKJV

There was nothing said about any Gentile being given the law to obey. The Israelites had just left the land of Egypt, the land made up of some of the Gentiles found in the world.

Paul writes how Jesus died for the sins of ALL mankind, but there are many that do not believe that Paul was an apostle CHOSEN by Jesus.

Many of the religious scholars in this world today, don’t believe the writings of Paul that are found in the Word of God.

These same scholars teach how all men today are to take the place of the Jews and in return they will receive the promises that were made to that group of people.

The above statement cannot be found anywhere in the Word of God, it is nothing, but false words verbalized by false teachers who are nothing but minions following the hopes and wishes of Satan.

We are told in other writings found in the Word of God, how Jesus died for ALL of our sins.

1 John 2:2 ‘…and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world …’ AKJV

Isaiah 53:5 ‘…But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed…’ AKJV

Jesus told those at the last supper how His Blood was going to be given for the forgiveness of sins.

Matthew 26:28 ‘…for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…’ AKJV

The Word is overly informative that Jesus gave His life for the forgiveness of ALL mankind’s sins.

And there are so many that don’t read the Word of God. The Word of God is the ONLY WORD that can SAVE.

The strength of the Word is found on the CROSS.

The strength of God is by the RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ.

And the strength in us, is in our FAITH, HOPE and BELIEF in what has been written in the Word of God.

Man’s religion is nothing but a religion.

It is nothing but ‘MAN.’

Jesus made a CHOICE.

Mankind has been given the freewill to decide for himself.

Might I suggest that you FOLLOW Jesus’ 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

This is Ascended Jesus Christ speaking to Ananias, a Jewish believer living in Damascus.

Jesus CHOSE, Saul of Tarsus, to teach the ENTIRE world about Him.

Jesus CHOSE, Saul of Tarsus, so we could BELIEVE.

He wanted us to BELIEVE His WORDS and not listen to the lies Satan spews from his evilness.

We have been given the Word of God for us to learn from.

Each one of us has been given a GIFT so we each could live.

READ the Word of God for yourself and gather your own interpretation in what Jesus is saying to us.

Go beyond Jesus’ death and FOLLOW His move.

Stop listening to the lies and HEAR Jesus speaking to you.

My message sounds like a broken message.

Since just before this past Easter, I have been flooded with only one message to verbalize so others could hear.

OPEN YOUR BIBLE AND READ THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.

I will be back next Wednesday and together we will study the words God wants us to see.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, allow this message to be seen by as many as You allow. Let them Jesus to fill their lives with the promises You have made to us. I love You Jesus. Amen.

READ for yourself … don’t just LISTEN

Wednesday 070925

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 study I hope will open the eyes of some of those that desire to find Your way. Be with us this morning as we search the Word You have given us. We love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Matthew 26:28; Acts 1:3, :4; Hebrews 11:1; Acts 1:6, :8; Matthew 28:19; Acts 8:1, 5:59-60; Romans 11:11; Acts 9:3-6, 9:15, 13:9.

I am writing this lesson right after I seen an advertisement on the television about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins.

It is so true.

Jesus told us ALL, Himself, in Matthew that it was His Blood that would save each one of us.

Matthew 26:28 ‘…for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…’ AKJV

We should all, ALL believers, believe that Jesus did die on the cross for us.

If Jesus died on the cross, than Jesus forgave us of our sins … that’s what we are told in the Word of God, that our sins are forgiven by Jesus’ death.

There are millions upon millions of people that are in a moment of fog right here because of this point.

If Jesus died to forgive us of our sins … people, our sins HAVE been forgiven, we don’t have to run marathons, ring bells, jump through hoops, tithe 10 percent, or go to a church on Sunday, OUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN.

Stop listening to false preachers of this world that are trying to encapsulate you and hold you hostage. These false preachers try to get you into believing you need them for your saving.

YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN SAVED.

And it was Jesus that saved you. Your pastor can NEVER save you. Your priest can NEVER save you. Your church can NEVER save you. And your denomination can NEVER save you either.

Only Jesus Christ, when He gave up His life on the cross, He did that so you could be saved, He did that for you, FOR ALL OF US.

Jesus was raised from the dead to visually show that God had the strength that He could overcome such an impossible feat as death.

Every Easter Sunday, for just a brief moment everyone is believing and thanking God for His miraculous gift.

Now some people will fail that very next day, Easter Monday, but believe it or not, there are many that will fall back into the trap before they leave their place of worship, THAT morning.

JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS.

The keyword here is ‘DIED.’

Ask yourself, how many people during their Easter morning service will return back to the synoptic gospels, John 3:16 or to Jesus’ ministry for their teachings?

In all of these cases, Jesus hasn’t died yet … sins haven’t been forgiven yet. They won’t be forgiven again until next Easter Sunday and everything I just wrote about, will be completely played all over again.

Repeating year after year, after year, after year, after year.

People caught in a trap that Satan doesn’t want you to get out of.

Move ONward with Jesus.

FOLLOW in His footsteps.

In your Bibles, continue reading past the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John … begin reading in the Book of Acts.

The book of Acts was written by Luke. The same Luke that also wrote the gospel of Luke.

Acts 1:3 ‘…To these (the remaining eleven apostles) He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of things regarding the kingdom of God…’ NASB

Jesus, after His resurrection from His tomb, came back to life and lived with the apostles for forty (40) days and nights.

Jesus requested from the men that they would stay in Jerusalem until God the Father sent a helper down from heaven to help them.

Acts 1:4 ‘…Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, Which, He said, you heard of from Me…’ NASB

The reader might find it difficult to imagine what it means when the Word tells us Jesus was brought back to life after His death on the cross.

Of course it’s hard, but this is where our FAITH plays an important realization for us.

Hebrews 11:1 ‘…Now FAITH is the assurance of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]…’ AMP

This is the major problem I have by people displaying a cross on a wall or wearing it around their necks, or when churches hang a cross in the front near the altar or outside next to a sign; it is because of FAITH, that I see Jesus’ cross with me at ALL times, wherever I am or whatever I am  doing.

If I have to physically see something to remember it, to me, it is nothing more than an idol.

Go back to my point how some might find it hard to justify that Jesus came back to life after His death on the cross, this is FAITH.

We have to trust and BELIEVE what has been written in the Word of God.

Now these remaining apostles, in Jesus’ presence when He came back to live with them for forty (40) days and nights, can you just imagine what must have been going through their minds.

Their wanting to be with Him once again would have outweighed anything else so their obvious question would have been when Jesus would set up the promised kingdom they had been hearing about for three (3) years.

Acts 1:6 ‘…So, when they had come together, they began asking Him, saying, Lord, is it at this time that You are restoring the kingdom to Israel…’ NASB

Just in their question alone, we should be able to tell that the apostles had overlooked that Jesus was just miraculously brought back to life after His crucifixion on the cross.

They focused more on past teachings and promises instead of looking forward and FOLLOWING.  

They looked more at the past and what was said and what happened instead of looking at was happening right in front of their own eyes.

This is where most of religion has found themselves today. They want to focus on what happened before Jesus’ resurrection instead of moving along with Jesus as He moved forward.

Acts 1:8 ‘…but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth…’ NASB

Acts 1:8 is very close to what was written in Matthew, known as the Great Commission.

Matthew 28:19 ‘…Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit…’ NASB

But it is unfortunate, the apostles never left Jerusalem, we know this from a verse written in Acts chapter 8.

Acts 8:1 ‘…Now Saul approved of putting Stephen to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles…’ NASB

Those Jewish believers, that believed in Jesus had all been spread throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, all except the apostles, they remained hidden in Jerusalem. Their leader, Jesus, was gone.

This verse in chapter 8 announces the arrival of Saul and it also repeats what happened to Stephen in chapter 7.

Stephen was stoned to death by the Sanhedrin.

Acts 7

vs59 ‘…They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit…’

vs60 ‘…Then he fell on his knees and cried out with a loud voice, Lord, do not hold this sin against them! Having said this, he fell asleep…’ NASB

It was at this killing, by the Jewish elite, the Sanhedrin, that God made the most decisive change found in the entire Bible.

God turned His back on His Chosen people, the Jews, and He CHOSE a new apostle to teach this entire world, ALL MANKIND what He wanted us ALL to know.

Most of Christendom has missed this movement by God, they are too hung up on their own beliefs.

God didn’t decide to have us Gentiles take the place of the Jewish nation, God simply gave us, the Gentile nation the same opportunity that God had earlier only given to His Chosen people. God wanted to make His people jealous and realize what they had given up.

Romans 11:11 ‘…I say then, they (the Jews) did not stumble so as to fall, did they? Far from it! But by their wrongdoing salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them (the Jews) jealous…’ NASB

The Ascended Jesus sitting at the right hand side of His Father, came back to this earth and confronted Saul of Tarsus on his way to Damascus.

Acts 9

vs3 ‘…Now as he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him…’

vs4 ‘…and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me…’

vs5 ‘…And he said, Who are You, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting…’

vs6 ‘…but get up and enter the city, and it will be told to you what you must do…’ NASB

To me, the MOST pivotable verse in the Bible is:

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 the Ascended Jesus speaking to Ananias.

Millions of people will find themselves in church this Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night and not a one of them have focused on this verse in Acts.

Jesus CHOSE Saul to teach this entire world what He wanted us to know and there are so many that forgot to FOLLOW Jesus and instead, they are being led down a very wide path.

Here is a verse and footnote from the Amplified version.

Acts 13:9 ‘…But [a]Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit and led by Him, looked steadily at Elymas…’ AMP

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.

Too often today and throughout the past 2000 years, mankind has forgot to read what God wants us to know in His Word, and instead there are those that simply believe what they are told by false preachers.

God gave us His Word so we could be saved, but we MUST believe what God wants us to know and not what someone else tells us what the word says.

READ YOUR BIBLE FOR YOURSELF.

I love ALL of y’all.

I will be back next Wednesday for another lesson that I hope will help us all to study the Word of God.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, Help those out there in this world today that need Your help, so they can find You. We love You so much Jesus. Amen.

BELIEVE His Word

Wednesday 070225

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 is no one on this earth that knows the exact minute that this world will end. There are so many people that think they are following Your words but most times, these people have fallen astray, as seeds planted on rocks and in thorns. I pray for them Jesus, they so much desire to know You. Use me Jesus so my voice might be able to be heard by even just a few. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

1 Corinthians 9:5; Matthew 8:14-15; Mark 1:29-31;  Luke 4:38-39; Matthew 16:18, 26:28; Acts 9:15.

In several of my lessons, I have spoken against the catholic church … I hope I have not offended many of my weekly readers.

Again, this morning, I once again am being pulled into the history of the catholic religion and I’m comparing it to the words written in the Word that God gave for each one of us to study and learn from.

The catholic religion has found it necessary to print their own words to celebrate their daily mass, they truly don’t want people in Your Word and find out the truth.

There are so many directions that we could begin study this morning. Let me first begin with this obvious direction for me.

There is a television series that I have been following for years now. The name of the series is the Chosen.

In the series the apostle Peter is married to a woman by the name of Eden. Now the Bible does not reference Eden by name, but in 1 Corinthians 9:5 …

1 Corinthians 9:5 ‘…Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas…’ AKJV

… Cephas is of Aramaic origin and Peter (or Petros) is of Greek origin, but it used for the same person.

There is no reference of Peter’s wife’s name found in the Bible but in the synoptic gospels, we learn of Peter’s mother-in-law.

Matthew 8

vs14 ‘…And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever…’

vs15 ‘…And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them…’ AKJV

Mark 1

vs29 ‘…And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John…’

vs30 ‘…But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her…’

vs31 ‘…And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them…’ AKJV

Luke 4

vs38 ‘…And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her…’

vs39 ‘…And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them…’ AKJV

For Peter to have a mother-in-law, he had to have a wife, even though we cannot verify her name.

Later writings, like those of Eusebius, provide information about Peter’s wife, suggesting her name was Penelope or Penuel and she was martyred alongside Peter. [1]

So, for the pope’s to follow the apostle Peter as being the voice to the catholic religion, why are the popes not permitted to be married as Peter was?

This is just [ONE] man-made bylaw in catholicism.

I have found a trove of information on Wikipedia.com regarding the catholic religion, this is where maybe the majority of my information has come from for this study.

The core belief of catholicism are found in the nicene creed, a creed written by man for other men to follow.

Totally different from the Word of God, given to ALL mankind so we could learn what God wants us to know and FOLLOW.

Found on google.com:

The Nicene Creed is a statement of faith commonly used in Christian worship, summarizing core Christian beliefs about God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It was formulated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. and has been affirmed by most Christian denominations. [2]

The last part of the above statement may be true that it has been affirmed by most christian denominations, but this statement that I make right now, the nicene creed is man-made and NEVER has it been approved by God, Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit, is also TRUE.

God, the One and ONLY TRUE Triune God, that is going to save me and any other BELIEVER in HIS WORD, from an Everlasting Life of Torment and Destruction. I don’t need some man-made belief to protect me from anything.

The Catholic Church believes that St. Peter was appointed by Jesus as the first pope and the head of the church. This belief is based on certain passages in the Gospels, particularly Matthew 16:18, which states that Jesus said to Peter, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.

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

I do not see where Peter was assigned to be a pope.

I do not see where Jesus instructed us to follow Peter and his teachings.

I can kind of sense why the catholic church wrote their own papers to follow in their own religion, they want to keep their congregation away from the truth.

But what is so unfortunate, millions of souls are being led down a road, headed for a very, very wide gate.

There are seven (7) sacraments taught in the catholic religion. I want to focus on just one (1) right now.

Matthew 26:28 ‘…for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…’ AKJV

Jesus gave His Life for ALL of mankind’s sins to be forgiven. So, we could each attain the promise of Everlasting Life when this world comes to an end.

Jesus had to die for us to LIVE.

Every Easter Sunday morning, just about every church in this entire world gathers to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His promise of LIFE.

And just about every one of these churches in the world celebrating that day, eventually will end up back in the ministry of Jesus when He walked this earth.

People, His ministry is NOT what He told us was going to save us.

His teachings on this earth was to the Jewish people, God’s Chosen people that were in Jerusalem.

Maybe the major reason we can tell the Bible is true is because the small nation of Israel is growing to this very day. More and more Jews are returning home, back to the land that God gave them back in Genesis.

The day is coming when this earth will stop rotating. God will put an end of time as we know it.

Before that ending, for us to be saved we MUST know what God wants from us.

You will never hear the true words from your pastor, your priest, your church or your denomination.

Only God knows what you MUST know.

That is the reason God gave us His WORD so we could READ for ourselves and HEAR the truth from His mouth, what exactly He wants from us.

Read your Bible.

Read about what God promised this world after His One and Only Son was crucified on a cross for each one of us.

FOLLOW the words that God wants for us to know.

Begin reading in Acts how things were.

Read how the Jews just never understood Him.

Read, in chapter 7, how the final straw for the Jew was when Stephen was stoned to death by the Sanhedrin.

Read, in chapter 9, how God decided to make a change.

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

God left the remaining eleven and the man they chose to make number twelve.

God chose a number thirteen to teach this world about Himself.

Paul wrote thirteen epistles for this world, ALL of us to FOLLOW.

Paul wrote from Romans to Philemon.

Thirteen epistles for us to learn from.

CHOOSE who God CHOSE and FOLLOW His CHOICE.

I love y’all.

I will be back next Wednesday.

I am InHIM. ><)))o>

Jesus, Bless us Father and keep those in this world able to find Your real and desired Word. Keep us ALL safe and keep us in Your arms for protection. I love You Jesus. Amen.

READ the Word of God for YOURSELF

Wednesday 062525

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, as I am stuck with a message that I’ve repeated for a while now, I ask for that one person out there or for those people out there that might be reading this lesson. I want to ask for them that their eyes would be opened so they could see the truth You have tried to show us Jesus. It is so unbelievable that Your Message has been kept hidden from so many that desire to find You Jesus and search for the promise of the Salvation You have promised us. Allow them Jesus to follow me in this lesson and I pray there would be eyes opened to what You have deemed important for us to FOLLOW. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Matthew 26:28, 15:24; Acts 1:3, :4-5, 7:59, 9:15, 13:9.

There is so much voiced today on television, on the radio, in our newspapers and online, they all repeat the same message to: READ YOUR BIBLE.

There is a big hurdle that this entire world must get over for them to be saved from Eternal Damnation.

There are our pastors and priests from this world’s churches, there are television personalities that get involved, they’ll say, will you pray with me.

The list goes on and on but here’s an unheard concept, why don’t we read the Bible and listen to what Jesus is telling us?

How many people pick up their Bibles today and right away, they’re in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (MMLJ) or they’re reading Isaiah, Jeremiah or Daniel, Psalms or Proverbs?

Why don’t we, when we read the Bible,  follow Jesus’ lead and follow where He wants to take us?

Why are there those that think they have been specially blessed to be the only one that can interpret what God has tried telling us?

Jesus, when He raised His goblet, at the Last Supper, and told those original apostles, that it was His BLOOD that was going to forgive mankind from our sins.

Matthew 26:28 ‘…for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…’ AKJV

Jesus’ DEATH is our promise of salvation …

We celebrate EASTER SUNDAY, so we remember Jesus’ resurrection.

But millions of people on Easter Monday (if it takes that long), will return to their Bibles celebrating Jesus’ ministry on this earth or they go right back into the stable.

Jesus’ ministry and His birth is NOT what is going to save us.

Jesus’ ministry was ONLY to and for the Jewish people.

Jesus came to this earth ONLY for the Jewish individual … He came to fulfill OT prophesy.

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

Why do our pastors and priests teach us these verses?

Why don’t the personalities on television speak the truth found in the Bible, why do they repeat what has been interpreted incorrectly for generations?

After Jesus was resurrected, He returned to His Father in heaven and then He came to live for forty days and forty nights on this earth with God’s Chosen people, the Jews.

The 1st chapter in the Book of Acts, begins where we are shown that Jesus returned to this earth after His resurrection.

Acts 1:3 ‘…to whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God…’ AKJV

Jesus told His disciples to remain in Jerusalem until the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 1

vs4 ‘…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…’

vs5 ‘…For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence…’ AKJV

The book of Acts continues with the way things were when Jesus walked on this earth.

It wasn’t until when the Sanhedrin stoned to death Stephen, that God made a significant change in His previous promise to the Jewish nation.

Acts 7:59 ‘…And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit…’ AKJV

Acts chapter 9 is the beginning of God’s change … why is it that our churches don’t teach us this chapter?

Acts 9:15, to me, is the most significant change in ALL of God’s Word.

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 was crucified at the end of His earthly ministry. Easter morning, Jesus was resurrected from His grave. After Jesus had returned to His Father in heaven, He came to this earth to live for forty days and nights with the Jewish people and His disciples.

Jesus Ascended back up into heaven to remain seated next to His Father, but we are told in Acts 9 that Jesus returned to this earth to confront Saul on his way to Damascus to retrieve and take prisoner the Jewish believers, called the Way.

In Acts 9:15, Jesus CHOSE Paul to be the teacher to the entire world, every living person on this earth.

Why would this verse not be taught to us, everyday?

Why instead, do our churches return back to Jesus’ earthly ministry and stable at His birth?

Remember, it was Jesus’ DEATH that forgave us ALL of our sins and gave every person the promise of Salvation.

Here is an important verse and a footnote made by the writer of 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.

Jesus CHOSE for Paul to teach this entire world about Himself and the Word … why are there those that go out on their own and follow who and what they decide to follow?

How can these people determine to take others with them?

My message has not changed that much since the Word was opened for me to see.

Even when I try and talk on other matters, I always back seem to end up in the book of Acts referring to 9:15.

Its okay for us to go against what our pastor or our priests’ are trying to teach us on a Sunday morning … the thing is this pastor, priest, their church or its denomination is never going to be able to SAVE anyone.

The ONLY One that is going to save us is JESUS CHRIST.

Jesus died for us so we could attain LIFE EVERLASTING in His presence.

I will return next Wednesday.

Open your Bible for yourself and read the Word that God has given to us.

The ONLY interpretation that is going to matter is how YOU interpret the Word of God.

Read and FOLLOW the lead of Jesus and follow in His footsteps.

TAKE UP YOUR OWN CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, I ask for those people that so much desire to find You, but they have been overly influenced with the lies and tales they’ve heard from Satan’s fleet of false teachers found throughout this world. Jesus I have family and friends that I wish could also be influenced by You so they could find Your truth and they could stop listening to the lies they’ve been taught  for years. I ask that You would send the Holy Spirit to them Jesus and in His presence, hopefully they could find You. I love You Jesus. Amen.
