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.
