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, as we begin this lesson, be with us and allow us to keep our focus on what we are able to read in Your Word. Keep us from focusing on what others say and keep us from gossip, false interpretations and keep us standing firm in Your Word that we have been given by You and You alone. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Genesis 6:5, :6, :7, :8, 11:1, 12:1-3; Matthew 25:46, 1:22-23, 15:24; Acts 9:15; 2 Timothy 4:3-4.

So, we are going to begin this lesson, trying to show the reader where they can find the ONLY Truth that we each have been given and then also hopefully, that will allow this world to realize almost everything that is taught on Sunday mornings is mostly man-made wants, wishes and desires.

Let me begin speaking about the Word of God, our Bibles and what can be found on its pages.

From our Bibles let’s acknowledge that God shows us, the beginning of this world that we live on and we are informed of the beginning of mankind.

Move forward to Genesis 6, God sees that mankind on the earth is full of nothing but evil.

Genesis 6:5 ‘…And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually…’ AKJV

What happened to God’s Creation? One should ask, how did this world turn into such a mess?

Genesis 6:6 ‘…And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart…’ AKJV

Now, move away from the Bible for just a moment, we should ask ourselves: why would God even allow for us to read and study this failure?

I think we should use the common sense that God has given us and be able to realize that the simple answer as to why ALL of the evil that was found on the earth, has to fall onto the shoulders of Satan, alone. Since his introduction in the garden with his temptation involving Eve, Satan has wanted to do nothing other than making this world fail so that God and His plan, in essence, would also fail and Satan could take over.

I think this is why God has allowed for us to see the past. Nearly 6,000 years before our time but God wants us to see the evil Satan has put on us.

Back in Genesis 6, when God seen the evil that had grown throughout this world, He made plans to destroy ALL of His creation.

Just think of it, it wouldn’t have taken anything for God to destroy what He had created and begin anew if He wanted to. In our three dimensional world, there are probably some in this world that cannot fathom what it would mean to destroy our creation and begin over again.

Genesis 6:7 ‘…And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them…’ AKJV

God was going to destroy His entire Creation, but then we read verse 8 …

Genesis 6:8 ‘…But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord…’ AKJV

God didn’t have to tell us what happened preceding the flood. In reality, God didn’t have to tell us anything. He didn’t have to give us the ability to realize what was right and what is clearly wrong.

The Bible tells us God did that though because He loves us, every one of us living on this earth, God is love.

Let’s go back into the Word of God, Genesis 11.

Genesis 11:1 ‘…And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech…’ AKJV

Now those people living back in Genesis 11, the world was very different, there was no North or South America; there was no Australia and no Europe.

From google.com:

The geography of the known world in Genesis 11 is primarily focused on the region of Mesopotamia, with the settlement in the land of Shinar. Shinar is widely considered to be a territory in Southern Mesopotamia, or modern-day Iraq, near the estuaries of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, including the city of Babylon. However, some scholars argue that Shinar may have been located further north in Mesopotamia, in what is now northeastern Syria. ^[1]

From Genesis 1 through chapter 11, there is one group of people all speaking the same language. There isn’t a Jewish group of people or a Gentile group of people, ALL people were the same, one group of people, known as ‘mankind.’

In chapter 12, God CHOSE Abram, later his name was changed by God to Abraham and through him, a new different CHOSEN people will emerge onto this world.

Genesis 12

vs1 ‘…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…’

vs2 ‘…and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing…’

vs3 ‘…and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed…’ AKJV

From Genesis 12, there is division between the different types of mankind.

Up to this point, the people on the earth were ALL bad. There is the history of the flood, there is the history at the tower of Babel.

God made a choice to divide mankind, He found favor in the Israelites, the Jewish people. There are so many religions today on this world that have missed out on this division by God.

They don’t preach it and are unaware that it even happened.

There are groups that sense this division, and they want to include themselves into the group that was chosen by God, but if these people would read their Bibles and listen to the Word of God, they would find out for themselves, they don’t need to join a group of people because God Himself made another CHOICE to include ALL mankind to have the opportunity for Salvation.

But mankind today doesn’t read the Word of God, they instead listen to their pastors and priests who claim they’ve read the Bible for them.

They follow what they hear in their churches and its denomination.

Most of mankind has decided to follow mankind and his message instead of following what God tells us in His Word.

Ask yourself, who’s fault is it then when you realize you’ve been lied to? Is it your pastor or priests fault? Is it your church or its denominations fault?

God is ONLY going to look at you, individually. Your pastor, priest, church and it’s denomination, they have been foretold of their own individual punishment.

But you, for not believing what God has been trying to tell you and this entire world, you are going to have an everlasting life, but it is an everlasting life of torment and destruction.

All mankind are promised an Everlasting Life, but you have to ask yourself, are you spending eternity in the presence of Jesus or are you spending eternity in torment and destruction, punishment.

Matthew 25:46 ‘…And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal…’ AKJV

But rather than jumping ahead to the end and out of sequence, we’re going to continue to follow in God’s footsteps, and walk through His Word with Him.

Throughout the OT, God used minor and major prophets, to spread His messages to the Chosen people.

From google.com:

The Bible lists numerous prophets whom God used to deliver His messages. These include major prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, and minor prophets such as Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah. God also spoke through other figures like Moses, Samuel, and Elijah. ^[2]

These prophets were all sent to deliver God’s message to the Jewish people, God’s Chosen people, all lineage from Abraham.

Many of these prophets wrote of a promised Messiah that would have an everlasting reign. There are prophecies written of Jesus’ birth, and detailed prophecy of the city he’d be born in and prophecy of His death.

These prophesies were all given to one people in particular, God’s Chosen people, the Jews.

In this time period, there were two different types of mankind, Jews and non-Jews (also known as Gentiles).

Throughout His life, from His birth, the short stories of His life growing up through His earthly ministry have also been focused directly towards the Jewish people.

Jesus was promised to the Jews and that is why Jesus came to this earth; He came to fulfill OT prophesy.

Jesus told us this Himself in our Bibles.

Matthew 1

vs22 ‘…Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying…’

vs23 ‘…Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us…’ AKJV

Jesus also tells us in Matthew that He ONLY came for the Jewish people, the 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

It is funny to me because most of Christendom, they live in the book of Matthew. They read parts in Psalms and in Proverbs and almost the entire church knows by heart John 3:16 … but they’ve misinterpreted what God has told us, the Gentiles.

Do you know not until Acts 9:15, are we told God has decided to offer salvation and save the Gentile person, the non-Jew.

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

Here in this verse, God is stating to the reader He is going to allow the entire world to hear and learn about Him and His Word.

And 95 percent of Christendom today think they are to replace and take the place of the Jew since they proved they didn’t want God … but ask this person, what book, chapter and verse is it written that we were told to step in and take the Jews place?

They can’t tell you because the verse isn’t in our Bibles … it’s nowhere in the Word of God … it’s all a fallacy, a myth, a lie, a man-made made-up untruth to get you to revisit their church. It’s been written in the Word of God as ‘itching ears’ (tickling our ears).

2 Timothy 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

Come back and study with us next Wednesday, as we continue through the pages of God’s Word.

If we cannot find what we’re being taught, written in and on the pages of God’s Word, we should flee and leave those lies alone.

The ONLY truth that we have been given is the Word of God.

Keep your Bibles open and continue to study.

I’ll see y’all next week.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, we pray that You would bless us and keep us safe. Keep us close to You and protect us. Keep us hungry so we search the words You have given for us to HEAR. We love You Jesus. Amen.

Today’s Scripture: 1Corinthians 2:7-8, :9; Isaiah 64:4; Deuteronomy 29:29; Luke 18:34; Acts 9:3, :15, 13:9; 2Peter 3:15-16; 2Timothy 2:15.

1Corinthians 2

vs7 ‘…But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory…’

vs8 ‘…which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory…’ ^NKJV

We are treading on ground not covered in our man-made religions on Sunday mornings in their Bible studies.

Every individual should be able to conclude there are many things that us human beings do not fully, 100%, understand about what God has told us or how certain things were done … it has to be obvious.

This I would conclude is that MYSTERY that Paul is talking about in vs7.

This hidden wisdom can be seen in earlier writings.

We can find this in the next verse, verse 9.

1Corinthians 2:9 ‘…But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him…’ ^NKJV

And we can show a comparable verse found in Isaiah.

Isaiah 64:4 ‘…For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him…’ ^NKJV

Now the apostle Paul was a Pharisee … he would have known the writings on the scrolls of Isaiah that the Jewish people had for generations … but then I MUST ask, why didn’t those earlier generations read of the promise of the coming Lord … why didn’t they read of His death on the cross?

This again, is part of that MYSTERY that God, in His wisdom, in His Omniscience, in His ALL-KNOWING of everything, that us simple human beings, we will never understand until that day when God reveals His MYSTERY to us all so we all will be able to understand.

The way the early Jewish leaders and the people were blinded by the truth, I think is the same way that the apostles were blinded from understanding what Jesus meant when He spoke to them.

I think there are many in this world that have been blinded in this same way from seeing the truth that is found in God’s Word that He has given us.

God has told us, it’s written in His Word, but many times, by many people, it’s not been revealed until the time is right, RIGHT FOR GOD.

This MYSTERY is similar to a SECRET … I believe like the secret that God told us that He kept from all of us.

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

There is a version of the English Bible that I use often to help me understand what has been written in the KJV. It is the EASY version.

Deuteronomy 29:29 ‘…Some secret things belong to the Lord our God. He does not let us understand everything. But he has shown us many things clearly. Those things belong to us and to our descendants for all time. They are the words of his Law that we need to obey…’ ^EASY

God is allowing us to know that He DOES keep secrets from us, mankind.

We should thank God for allowing us to know this.

So, the reason we ALL don’t understand what has been written is because some of us have been blinded from what has been said.

Here is just one example found in the Word:

Luke 18:34 ‘…The disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said…’ ^NASB

Jesus had just got done telling His disciples that He was going to be killed and in three (3) days He would be resurrected and brought back to life.

Jesus told His disciples this on three (3) different occasions, it’s written about in three (3) different synoptic gospels … and they did not understand what Jesus was telling them.

It was never meant for them to understand, in vs34 we read where it was ‘hidden from them.’

How many things has God told us in His Word that we have been hidden from the real, true meaning?

I think this is why God gave us His Word.

I  think He gave us His Word so we could STUDY it … so we could pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand what He means.

So, we could ask what God means when He tells us there is a MYSTERY.

His Word has been meant for each one of us … not for others to read the Word to us but for each one of us  to OPEN our Bibles and READ the Word for ourselves.

In just these past few weeks, there have been many difficulties in this 21^st century world that we live in … just focus on what we have seen here in America.

In just the past week, thousands of individuals have purchased a Bible for the first time, thousands of younger generations went to a man-made church this past Sunday seeking God … but the Message we ALL need to listen to is the REAL, TRUE MESSAGE of God and it is ONLY found in His Word.

Stay home this next Sunday and spend an hour or two and read your Bible … READ THE WORD OF GOD.

Jesus gave up His life and was crucified on a cross for the forgiveness of every sin throughout the entire world.

Every sin that was, is and ever will be committed by mankind … WE ARE ALL FORGIVEN ALREADY.

Now we must FOLLOW in Jesus’ footsteps … we are to walk in the trail that He has made for us, we’re not told we are to break a new trail, and we certainly aren’t supposed to go back to before He forgave us of our sins before He died on the cross for each one of us.

We are to FOLLOW His lead.

In the book of Acts, after the crucifixion and after the ascension of Jesus Christ, Jesus came back to this earth and confronted a man, Saul of Tarsus.

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

That light spoken about is Jesus.

OPEN your Bibles and READ it for yourselves.

Jesus confronted Saul and sent him into town and told him to wait for His sign … Jesus then went to Ananias and told him to go to Saul.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him (Ananias), Go thy way: for he (Saul) is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ ^AKJV

Jesus is telling Ananias that Saul of Tarsus is His CHOSEN VESSEL to teach the entire population, ALL mankind about Himself.

Throughout the entire Bible, after Genesis 1 through 11, there were only two divisions of people, Jews and Gentiles (non-Jews).

There were many different groups of Gentiles, but they were still Gentiles none the less.

There is another verse we should see that’s found in the book of 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

^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.

The Book of Acts was written by Luke, the same Luke that wrote the gospel of Luke.

There are thousands of individuals that will not read the writings of Paul, they claim they are too different than the teachings of Jesus Christ.

But in the Word, Luke writes that Jesus CHOSE Paul to teach ALL of us about God.

There are people that say Paul’s writings should be ripped from our Bibles and thrown away.

Should we then rip out the book of Acts also because Luke claims that Jesus CHOSE Paul?

How about 2 Peter, Jesus’ most popular apostle.

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

Should we rip the books of Peter from our Bibles and throw them away also?

To you young, new believers, OPEN your own Bible and READ the words that God has given us in His Word.

TRUST in what He tells you … forget about what other men try and teach you (and I am including myself in that group also), OPEN your Bible and say a prayer to the Holy Spirit and ask that He would guide you in His footsteps. Allow Him to take you in the path He wants for you to FOLLOW.

Maybe one of the stronger and more powerful verses found in the Word that teaches us to STUDY His Word, is found in 2Timothy.

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

Here is an easier version you might be able to speak:

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

In both version we are told of the importance in our knowledge of ‘RIGHTLY DIVIDING’ His Word.

Not DIVIDING the Bible the way, we want to, but rather DIVIDE the Word that God has intended for us to HEAR.

Put your TRUST in Him and allow Him to walk you through this life we are living in. Pray without ceasing as we we’re told in 1Thessalonians 5:17.

FOLLOW in Jesus’ footsteps and seek Him.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM. ><)))o>

Just a very quick lesson today … I seen this yesterday, it was the Verse of the Day.

September 17^th Verse of the Day.

Romans 12:2 ‘…Do not become like the people who belong to this world. But let God completely change the way that you think, so that you live differently. Then you will understand what God wants you to do. You will know what is good. You will know what pleases God. You will know what is completely right…’ ^EASY

Jesus died on the cross for every one of us, to offer us Salvation and the forgiveness of our sins.

Open your Bible and READ the words that we have been given in the Word of God.

Jesus is our Savior, but we MUST follow in His footsteps after the cross, and not walk down the trail that ‘we’ desire or think we need to walk in.

Just because our pastor or priest might preach to us on Sunday mornings about where we need to go and what we need to do … OPEN your own Bible and READ what God desires from you instead.

Make yourself aware what God has given us in His Word.

Make the time in your day to fit God into your life.

STOP relying on other human beings or man-made religions to SAVE you … God has already offered you a GIFT that you don’t want to miss out on.

Put your TRUST and FAITH in God’s Word and BELIEVE in Him.

I love y’all. I am InHIM. ><)))o>

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, Guide me as I teach this lesson from Your Word. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

Luke 22:36; Ephesians 6:17, 6:13-18; Luke 22:36, :38-39; 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16; Acts 9:15, 13:9.

So, I was watching the new, fifth (5^th) season of the series, the CHOSEN.

I think I like the series so much because I am able to physically see, with my own eyes, what is written in the Word of God.

So, last night, I think it was episode 3, as Jesus and the apostles were sitting at the table, celebrating the last supper, Jesus tells the apostles how they needed to start arming themselves with swords.

I had never heard of such a verse before.

Luke 22:36 ‘…Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one…’ AKJV

Jesus is telling His disciples at the last supper, to arm themselves … ?

Those apostles sitting at that table I would gamble all the money I could find, but I would bet that they were shocked at what was coming from Jesus’ mouth.

Can you just imagine … ?

But for us today in the 21^st century, we have been given the entire Word of God, so we can at any time, get out our Bibles and search for any Scripture we desire.

Ephesians 6:17 ‘…And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God…’ AKJV

In our Bibles, in Ephesians 6, Paul writes of the armor that God has given us; to equip us so we can battle the evil found in this world, so we will be able to keep our eyes focused on Him.

Ephesians 6

vs13 ‘…Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand…’

vs14 ‘…Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness…’

vs15 ‘…and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace…’

vs16 ‘…above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked…’

vs17 ‘…And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…’

vs18 ‘…praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints…’ AKJV

Over my many years of studying with y’all, I have done numerous studies on this armor that God is offering us.

Out of all of the different pieces of armor, the sword (the Word of God), is the ONLY offensive protection, that He has given us.

God wants us to arm ourselves with the knowledge of what has been written in the Word so that we will know when we are being lied to.

Return with me back to the book of Luke. Jesus just told the apostles to sell what they had buy themselves a sword … let me show the verse again to you.

Luke 22:36 ‘…Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one…’ AKJV

The apostle Simon the Zealot (nicknamed Z), left the table and returned with two swords he already had, hidden, in his possession.

Luke 22

vs38 ‘… And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough…’

vs39 ‘…And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him…’ AKJV

Jesus wasn’t telling His apostles to arm themselves with ‘swords’ … He was telling them to arm themselves with the Word.

The apostles couldn’t run down to the Dollar General on the corner and buy a copy of the Bible, like we can today.

Jesus had realized the men, did not understand.

I believe Jesus was telling us, today; we are to arm ourselves with what has been written in the Word.

We shouldn’t just own a copy or copies of the Bible and leave them lying around our house collecting dust, we should search and study the Word of God so we can protect ourselves for what dangers are out there wanting to fight against us, and I’m talking about Satan always fighting against us.

We have people today, they go to church every Sunday morning, some even go every Sunday and Wednesday nights; these people walk into their church building with a Bible in their hand, and they come in and sit down.

When they’re seated, they’ll notice Bibles on the seats right next to them or under the seats in front of them.

But in most services, these Bibles are not even opened up and read from.

If they are opened, they are opened to a part of Scripture that has been meant for us to see, but it has never been intended for us to follow.

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 apostle Paul wrote to teach us that we are to be wise enough, to know where in the Bible we can read the Truth for our ears to HEAR and read the words in the Bible that were given to earlier generations, thousands of years before us.

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, the entire Bible has been given to us so we can learn from what has been written in the Word of God, but NOWHERE are we told we were to FOLLOW all the Scripture written in the Word.

What gets to me, is when a person will hear me make that statement, right away they’ll state how they’re not going to listen to me, and they’ll use ALL Scripture …

Okay, well why then why don’t you USE ALL SCRIPTURE?

Why do you leave out 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 verse, in fact, the entire chapter of Acts 9, is of the ascended Jesus Christ coming back down to this earth and CHOOSING Saul of Tarsus to teach the entire world what God wants for us to know so we can attain Everlasting Life in the presence of Jesus Christ.

The ascended Jesus CHOSE Saul, but just think how many out there today won’t even read from the thirteen (13) books Paul wrote for us.

Here is another important verse and footnote also found in the book of 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.

There is much foolishness in this world today.

Remember, when Jesus came to this earth during His earthly ministry, He was very disappointed with the religion of that day.

Why are there so many that don’t see the same thing that is going on today in our man-made churches.

There is ONE God, how can their be thousands of different denominations celebrating different gods?

Always remember, there is only ONE book of Truth.

Our Bibles today are available in many different versions, in many different languages.

I don’t believe there is only one version any better than  another, if there was, I’m positive God would have told us what that version was.

I do believe though that we should read and compare our versions with others to make sure we are reading what God wants us to HEAR.

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

Make yourself aware so that you will know what God is trying to tell you, stop listening to a man in a building preaching that he is the only one that understands the truth.

If he was the only man that knew, God would have told us in His Word of this man’s gift.

Open your Bibles and listen to God Himself speak to you.

Let the Holy Spirit dwell in your presence.

I’ll be back next Wednesday.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, bless those that are studying in Your Word this morning. Keep them strong and keep them hungry to find out more secrets in Your Word. I love You Jesus. Amen.

Wednesday 091025

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, keep me focused on the Message You want me to share this morning. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

1 Corinthians 1:30; Galatians 3:26-29; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Acts 9:15, 13:9; Romans 8:1.

1 Corinthians 1:30 ‘…But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption…’ AKJV

Maybe it’s the English version I used or maybe it is only because I used one verse, but here is a different English version of the verse.

1 Corinthians 1:30 ‘…But God has brought you into union with Christ Jesus, and God has made Christ to be our wisdom. By him we are put right with God; we become God’s holy people and are set free…’ GNT

It is God that allows us to be ‘In Christ.’

It is from our FAITH that we have in God that allow us to be in union ‘In Christ.’

It’s not written that we have to tithe anything.

It’s not written that we have to go to a building every week or three times in a week.

It’s not written that we have to jump through any hoops, ring any bells or throw any frisbees … we can be ‘In Christ’ just by claiming that I AM IN CHRIST?

Galatians 3

vs26 ‘…For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus…’

vs27 ‘…For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ…’

vs28 ‘…There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus…’

vs29 ‘…And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise…’ AKJV

To be ‘baptized into Christ’ (v27) means that they were identified with Christ, having left their old sinful lives and fully embracing the new life in Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:13 ‘…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

The apostle Paul is speaking to the Christians in Galatia, reminding them of their new identity since they placed their faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus CHOSE Paul to teach this entire world what He wanted for us ALL to know.

I know this because of one very important and often unread verse in Acts.

Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him (Ananias), Go thy way: for he (Saul of Tarsus) 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 in a vision.

No matter what time of day it is … no matter what you are doing … whether you are awake or asleep … busy or idle, when Jesus speaks to you, FOLLOW HIM and do as He tells you.

Up to this verse (in the Bible), in Acts 9 verse 15, God only spoke to His Chosen people, the Jews.

Vs15 is the most pivotable change in all of biblical history.

God decided to save ALL mankind: ‘…Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’

There is no one else left on the earth that is not mentioned in that one verse.

The apostle Paul has been CHOSEN by Jesus to teach all mankind what He wants us to know.

Here is maybe another verse found in the book of Acts along with the footnotes found in 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 (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 believe our churches do not teach these verses because Satan doesn’t want us to HEAR the Message God has been trying to tell us.

Satan doesn’t want us to have a life with Jesus, similar to the life he once had, before he was thrown down from heaven to this earth.

Romans 8:1 ‘…There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit…’ AKJV

This verse is telling us that if we FOLLOW Jesus and we walk with Him and we leave our flesh behind, we have no condemnation.

We will no longer be condemned by all of the sins that we have committed throughout our life, Jesus’ BLOOD that He shed on the cross for us will cover those sins that we have committed, and we will be free from them and their punishment forever.

When Jesus took our place on the cross, He suffered the punishment our sin deserves. His last words before He died were, ‘It is finished’ (John 19:30).

What was finished? It wasn’t merely His earthly life, as He proved three days later, when He was resurrected back to life.

What He finished on the cross was God’s plan to redeem His fallen world. When Jesus said, ‘It is finished,’ He was stating that He had successfully paid in full, every act of rebellion, past, present, and future.

All we have to do is BELIEVE.

There are many today that preach and will tell you it cannot be that easy. In a way, I almost agree with them; it does seem too easy, but that isn’t what has been written in the Word of God.

But it is a good thing that God is the One forgiving us and promising us Everlasting Life because all of the naysayers throughout and around this world, they can tell us how it cannot be that easy but not a one of them can offer us the promise and GIFT of everlasting life.

To be ‘In Christ’ means we have accepted His sacrifice as payment for our own sin.

We don’t understand how it can be true … but we are fortunate that we have a God that loves us enough to offer and save us.

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

God is SOVERIGN. He can do what He wants to do whenever and as many times as He wants to do it.

God wants each one of us to be with Him after our life on this earth is finished.

It up to us whether or not we would like to be with Him and in His presence.

Don’t worry and focus on what is going on around us today … there is nothing that we are going to do that will change anything.

The ONLY thing we can do is save ourselves from an everlasting life of torment and destruction.

God has already told us in His Word that it has been offered to us.

Our lesson is a little shorter today, so keep your Bibles open and continue to study His Word that He has given us.

FOLLOW Jesus and CHOOSE Him.

I love ALL of y’all.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, bless those that read this morning’s lesson and give them a little extra help so they can decide to FOLLOW Your lead. I love You Jesus. Amen.

Wednesday 090325

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, stay with me and open my ears so I can HEAR the exact Message You desire for me to share with those reading this lesson this morning. Use me Jesus and keep us ALL safe and in Your arms. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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

2 Corinthians 4:3-4; Acts 9:15c; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Matthew 5:17; 2 Corinthians 5:17b; Luke 18:34; 2 Corinthians 4:3-4; 2 Timothy 4:1-5; Acts 9:15, 13:9.

2 Corinthians 4

vs3 ‘…But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost…’

vs4 ‘…in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them…’ AKJV

There is a lot of information for us to unpack in just these two (2) verses alone.

The apostle Paul wrote the Gospel that Jesus wanted us to know, ALL of us, ALL of mankind.

Acts 9:15c ‘…Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV

There is no one left that Jesus wanted Paul to reach out to, Jesus wanted the entire world to hear His Message.

Paul wrote the Gospel of Christ to and for the entire world.

Not only Paul but Jesus as well, doesn’t want us to be confused with the gospels written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (MMLJ).

My intention is to hopefully portray to that person reading along, that they would ask themselves what it truly means, to be ‘In Christ.’

I want to show the importance for us to listen to what Jesus is trying to tell us and keep us away from thinking we are doing what He wants us to do or even worse, listening to someone other than Jesus Himself speaking to us.

So, ask yourself, does the Word of God tell us what it means to be ‘In Christ?’

2 Corinthians 5:17 ‘…Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new…’ AKJV

Is this verse telling us, that if we attend a church on Sunday morning, does that mean we are ‘In Christ?’

What if we go further, what if we attend a church that also meets on Sunday and Wednesday nights, does that mean we are ‘In Christ’ or maybe even closer to Him.’

What if we listen to Christian music throughout each and every minute in our daily lives, does that mean we are ‘In Christ?’

Read the verse again in 2 Corinthians:

2 Corinthians 5:17 ‘…Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new…’ AKJV

From this verse in 2 Corinthians, we are told that we will be a new creature if we are in Christ, what does it mean, to be a new creature?

Does it mean I am looking at life through new glasses, or I am changing the way I live my life, or I’m changing my ways, if I change my beliefs is that what makes me new?

I found on google.com that I am a new creature through FAITH in Christ. That individuals will experience a transformation, a change in their spiritual state, and a new beginning with God.

Ask yourself this question, If you continue to focus on MMLJ, are you beginning new?

Continue asking yourself, am I beginning new or am I continuing with the old that has been on the face of this earth for over 2000 years.

Jesus when He walked during His earthly ministry, was He portraying that He wanted our generation today to follow His ways or was Jesus teaching only a certain group of people?

Jesus came to fulfill OT prophesy to the Jewish forefathers, promises that were made to the Jewish people in an earlier age.

Jesus told us Himself that He came to only fulfill.

Matthew 5:17 ‘…Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill…’ AKJV

Jesus was talking to the Jewish people, that is who He came to this earth for. He came to this earth to teach the people, Chosen by God.

2 Corinthians 5:17b ‘…Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new…’ AKJV

Jesus was never accepted by the Orthodox Jewish community, they did not believe Jesus was the Son of God.

The Pharisees, they turned Jesus in to the Romans and demanded that Jesus be crucified and killed.

Jesus knew ahead of time He was going to be sacrificed for mankind. Throughout His entire earthly ministry, He knew He was only here for a short time.

Jesus foretold of His death on three different occasions. Each one of these times were wrote about in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke.

Jesus knew He was giving His life up for us, but His disciples did not understand what Jesus was telling them, it was never meant for them to know, it was hidden from them.

Luke 18:34 ‘…And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken…’ AKJV

Back when I started this lesson, I quoted Scripture from the Word of God, two very important verses.

2 Corinthians 4

vs3 ‘…But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost…’

vs4 ‘…in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them…’ AKJV

This ‘god of this world’ that is written about, is nothing more than Satan himself.

The same Satan that tempted Jesus when He first began His earthly ministry.

The same Satan that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden.

This is the same Satan that has been blinding this world from the truth and deceiving millions and spewing nothing but lies to them every Sunday morning, and Sunday and Wednesday nights also.

Lies that the Word has warned us about, but people no longer read the words that God has given us.

People today have been sold the promise that if they go to church every week, if the give their monthly or weekly tithes, they will be okay, but that false promise is no where written in the Word of God.

We are warned of these false words in the Word of God.

We are warned of these false preachers spreading these false promises in the Word of God, but people are not reading the Word of God today. If their Bibles are even opened, they are directed to only look at that which has never been meant to save us from Everlasting Death.

We are shown in 2 Timothy, the apostle Paul fore warning Timothy of the importance in him to teaching the truth and spreading the love of Jesus Christ.

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…’

vs5 ‘…But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry…’ AKJV

Too many pastors, too many priests, too many churches and too many denominations are going to tickle the ears of their congregations this week. They’re going to fill them with stories of laundry, relatives on trains, and what’s the English definition of a Greek word used in the original gospels, and the truth is that for us today living in the 21^st century, it is nothing but a fable meant to tickle our ears.

Our preachers today should spread the Word God wants us to HEAR.

Our pastors, priests, churches and denominations should remind us of Easter Sunday and how Jesus was raised from His tomb.

How He moved forward into His NEW life and how He moved forward in the book of Acts.

How He told the remaining original apostles to spread the promise of Pentecost and how our futures were to be shared with a helper.

How Jesus, after repeatedly being unwanted by the Chosen people, how Jesus made the most pivotable change in biblical history.

Jesus CHOSE Saul of Tarsus, to teach the entire kingdom of mankind about Himself, God.

This verse is of Jesus Christ, the resurrected and ascended Son of God, speaking to Ananias in a vision, Ananias, a believer living in Damascus, telling him to go and do as Jesus wants because Saul is Jesus’ CHOSEN vessel to teach this entire world, what He wants us to know.

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

The Book of Acts is in no-way doctrine for the Body of Christ today, but it shows us the change made by God.

Here is another important and informative verse found in the Book of Acts and also a footnote found in 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 (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.

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

READ the words that God wants for you to know and understand and don’t allow others to influence your future.

Jesus was resurrected from His tomb so He could keep moving forward, not to continuously, year after year, immediately after His resurrection to be returning back to the stable.

I love y’all.

I will be back next Wednesday.

I am InHIM.><)))o>

Jesus, thank You for being with us this morning Jesus. If there is that person out there this morning struggling with what I tried voicing in this lesson, please be with them and guide them to a closer relationship with and In You. I love You Jesus. Amen.

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.

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.

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.

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.
