I
ask myself questions all the time like: Did YOU know that, “The Word” (Jesus
Christ) existed before Creation? Yeah, I
knew that.
What
about: Did YOU know that, Jesus Christ Created
EVERYTHING? Well yeah, I think I knew
that.
Well
then there’s: Did YOU know that, “The
Word” chose to leave Heaven and enter a “Mortal Body” to live, teach, heal,
rebuke, suffer and die on The Cross, go to The Grave, rise in 3 days, appear
and Minister to His Apostles & Followers, Ascended into Heaven, Alive, to
become Our High Priest, and sit at The Right Hand of God Almighty?
Have
any of YOU heard, that God Almighty is Living, Today? Or have YOU heard that God Almighty Works in
Your Daily Life?
Did
YOU know that God Almighty sent “The Holy Spirit” to guide YOU (Believers)?
Before
that God Almighty sent His One and ONLY Son, Jesus Christ, to SAVE YOU
(Believers)?
Did
YOU (Believers) know that your “commitment” to God Almighty, didn’t end, when YOU
(Believers) personally accepted Jesus Christ, as Your Lord and Savior, and
followed Jesus, into Believers Baptism?
Think
of those (last two items) as your being asked to join, and the initiation, into
a VERY Special Club!
For
now, YOU (Believers) are part of The Kingdom of God Almighty, and YOU (Believers)
accept All Responsibilities, that come with being, Children of God Almighty.
A
short summation of Jesus Christ Life here on Earth could be:
A
Man who spent His Life, walking from town to town, neighborhood to
neighborhood, house to house even, simply to cure, whatever the “mortal body”
needed healing. Also, Jesus told people,
the cold hard facts, what they were doing correctly, through His Father’s (God
Almighty’s) Eyes, and more importantly what they were doing WRONG. Jesus also, was brave enough, to stand up, to
All Church Leaders, and rebuke them for NOT teaching people correctly. With the nerve to tell them, that God
Almighty, Himself, will hold them accountable, for what they did and didn’t do.
The
Book of Hebrews is a quick synopsis of what We (Believers) NEED to know, about
many things, it presents Jesus Christ, in All His Glory, His Superiority to The
Angels, and to The Prophets, and as The Superior Priest, let’s take a look:
Hebrews
4:12-16 For The Word of
God is Living and Powerful, and
sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of Soul and Spirit,
and of joints and marrow, and is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart. And there is no creature hidden from His
Sight, but All Things are naked and open to The
Eyes of Him to whom We must give Account. Seeing
then that We have a Great High Priest who has passed through The Heavens, Jesus,
The Son of God, let Us hold fast Our Confession. For We do not have a High Priest who
cannot sympathize with Our weaknesses, but was in All points
Tempted as We
are, yet without sin. Let Us therefore come boldly to The Throne
of Grace, that We may obtain Mercy and find Grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 5:5-10 So
also Christ did not Glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it
was He who said to Him: “YOU
are My Son, Today I have begotten YOU.” As He also says in another place: “YOU are a Priest forever
According to The Order of Melchizedek”; who, in the Days of His Flesh, when
He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to
Him who was able to Save Him from death, and was heard because of His Godly Fear, though He was a Son, yet He learned Obedience by the things
which He suffered. And having been Perfected, He became The Author of
Eternal Salvation to All who Obey Him, called by God as High Priest “According to The Order of
Melchizedek,”
Hebrews 6:19-20
This Hope We have as an Anchor of the Soul, both sure and steadfast,
and which enters the Presence behind The Veil, where The Forerunner has entered for Us, even Jesus, having become High Priest Forever According to The Order
of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 8:1-2 Now this is the Main Point of the
things We are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at The Right
Hand of The Throne of The Majesty in The Heavens, a Minister of The Sanctuary
and of The True Tabernacle which the Lord Erected, and not man. 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent Ministry, inasmuch
as He is also Mediator of a Better Covenant, which was established on better Promises.
Hebrews 9:14-15 how much more shall The Blood of Christ, who through
The Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience
from dead works to serve the Living God?
And for this reason He is The
Mediator of the New Covenant, by means of death, for The Redemption of The
Transgressions under the First Covenant, that those who are Called may receive
The Promise of The Eternal Inheritance.
Hebrews 10:10 By that
Will We have been Sanctified through The Offering of The Body of Jesus Christ Once for
All.
Hebrews
12:1-2 Therefore We also,
since We are surrounded by so Great a Cloud of Witnesses, let Us lay aside
every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares Us, and let Us run with
Endurance the Race that is set before Us, looking unto Jesus, The Author and Finisher
of Our Faith, who for the Joy that
was set before Him endured The Cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at
The Right Hand of The Throne of God.
Hebrews 13:1-3 Let Brotherly Love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained Angels. Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those
who are mistreated—since YOU yourselves are in The Body also.
Hebrews 13:5-8 Let
your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things
as YOU have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave
YOU nor forsake YOU.” So We may Boldly say: “The Lord is My Helper; I will not Fear. What can Man do to me?” Jesus
Christ is the same
yesterday, today, and forever.
Hebrews 13:20-21 Now may The God of Peace who brought up Our Lord
Jesus from the dead, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through The Blood of The
Everlasting Covenant, make
YOU complete in every Good Work to do His Will, working in YOU what is well pleasing in His Sight, through Jesus Christ, to
whom be Glory forever and ever. Amen.
The
Old Testament, is a reminder about how God Almighty treated the Righteous and
unrighteous, and how The Church was setup to imitate Heaven. That Priest had to do yearly burnt and blood
sacrifice offerings, for the sins of the Priest, as well as for God Almighty’s
People.
The
New Testament, tells Us (Believers), why “The Word” came down from Heaven, in a
“human form”, as Jesus Christ, to live a Sinless Life (healing the people and
telling their Church Leaders, what they were doing right and wrong), then Sacrificed
Himself upon The Cross, suffered, died, and was buried. Then after 3 days, arose from His grave, just
as God Almighty had Promised, to continue Ministering to His Apostles, for
another 40 days, until He Ascended (returned) to Heaven, Alive, as Our High
Priest, to sit at The Right Hand of God Almighty, until His Return, when He
will gather His Flock, to Live in His New City.
He
then sent “The Helper” or Holy Spirit, which would Dwell within EVERYONE (Believers)
who Accepted His Free Gift of Salvation.
By Accepting This Gift, We (Believers) become “Children of God”, and as
such, We (Believers) MUST continue Christ’s Work, by sharing His Gospel (The
Bible), and following the 2 Main Commandments: Love God Almighty with All Your
(Believers) Heart, Mind, Body, and Spirit, and Loving One Another.
The
Holy Bible tells Us (Believers), that all that We (Believers) need to do is to
ask, in His Name (Jesus Christ’s), and it shall be given.
That
there is but One Name, under Heaven, by which We (Believers) shall be SAVED,
and that’s Jesus Christ.
We
(Believers) MUST BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is The One and ONLY, Son of God
Almighty. That We All sin, and therefore
fall short of The Glory of God Almighty, but that Christ died on The Cross, for
Our sins, so that they (Our sins) may be Forgiven, that He rose from The Grave,
on The Third Day, that’s right, He rose from the dead, on The Third Day.
The
Holy Bible teaches Us (Believers) a lot, with the opportunity to learn so much
more.
When
Jesus Ascended, Alive, into Heaven, He asked The Father, to send what He termed
“The
Helper”, which is The Holy Spirit. This
Holy Spirit was first RECEIVED by The Apostles, Jesus’ Disciples, during
Pentecost, giving them the ability to Perform Miracles, in The Name of Jesus
Christ, heal the sick, help the blind to see, raise the dead, cast out demons,
etc.
This
same “Holy Spirit” is RECEIVED by each person (Believers), who accepts Jesus Christ,
as Their (Believers) Lord and Savior, meaning all these abilities are given to
each of Us (Believers), if We (Believers) have The Faith.
John 1:1-5 Says “In The Beginning was The Word, and The
Word was with God, and The Word was God.
He was in The Beginning with God. ALL THINGS were made THROUGH Him, and without
Him, nothing was made that was made. In
Him was Life, and The Life was The Light of Men. And The Light (Jesus Christ) SHINES in the
darkness, and the darkness did NOT comprehend it.
Jesus Christ told His Disciples, many things We (Believers)
need to KNOW. How do We (Believers) RECEIVE
His Free Gift of Salvation, how to FOLLOW Jesus Christ, in Believer’s Baptism,
and once We (Believers) become Children of God Almighty, how The Holy Spirit,
will counsel Us (Believers), etc. The
very Basic Core of Our Faith is Our Faith in Jesus Christ.
Who He is, how He lived (a “mortal life”), what He taught,
how He died (YOU know the old mystery of Who, What, When, Where, How, &
Why), His Resurrection, His Appearances after His Resurrection, His “Great Commission”,
His Ascension, etc.
God Almighty, The Father, like His Son, Jesus Christ,
NEVER CHANGES, and Together They sent “The Holy Spirit”, to give Us (Believers)
Guidance and Counseling, but NOT to REPLACE either One.
What
does it mean to NOT be “of this Earth” to be “Aliens in a Strange Land”, when
each of Us (Believers) was born on Earth? We (Believers) are Children of God Almighty,
and Our (Believers) Eternal Home, is Heaven.
Satan (the Devil, Lucifer, etc.) was given Earth and Hades (Hell) as his
dominion. We (Believers) do NOT live for
“Earthly treasures”, We (Believers) live to SERVE The One and ONLY ONE, God
Almighty, Our Father, to RECEIVE His “Heavenly Gifts and Treasures”.
In Conclusion:
As We (Believers) live Our brief, mortal lives, Our
Basic Commandments are:
We (Believers) are to Love Our God, with All Our
Heart, Mind, Body, and Spirit.
To Love Our (Believers) Neighbor as Ourselves (in
other words, treat everyone else, as We would want them to treat Us), to pray
for them, to counsel them, to help them to understand God Almighty’s Plan, for
each of Us (Believers), as individuals, and together, as His Church. We (Believers) are to Love Our enemies, as
much as We (Believers) Love Our Friends, and to Forgive BOTH, as God Almighty
Forgives Us (Believers). We (Believers)
are to SPREAD God’s Gospel (His Word) to every person We (Believers) encounter,
Parents, Siblings, Friends, Neighbors, and Strangers.
We (Believers) can NOT be sin free, but We (Believers)
can strive to be as sin free, as humanly possible. To show the same Compassion and Guidance, as
Jesus Christ did, during His brief “mortal” Life, on Earth.
After all, Jesus Christ, did NOT simply commit NO sin,
but He also, taught The Truth about His Father, God Almighty, and spent much of
His time, healing the “mortal body” ailments and torment, while Teaching about
His Father, and Our Free Gift of Salvation, and God Almighty’s Plan for Us (Believers)
to be able to Return to Him, in Heaven, after Our “mortal lives” end.
Heavenly,
Earthly Dream
I
was given a dream, about being able to fly
I
shall tell YOU this dream, from my mind’s eye
I
shared God’s Blessings, of healing for the Soul
Surprisingly
it was to show, what YOU can control
As
I flew around the room, I shared His Message
A
way for YOU to escape, sin’s eternal bondage
Seven
Steps, which will lead YOU beyond Salvation
That’s
NOT meant for some, but for EVERYONE
Believe in God, The One and Absolute Only
Jesus His Only Son, died on The Cross, for All to see
Admit that YOU sin, We all do, and He sees Everything
Acknowledge sin is wrong, should go without saying
Know that God forgives YOU, each time that YOU ask
Accept that YOU are Forgiven, is a required task
Release yourself, from the bondage of your past sin
He
asks that YOU learn, not to commit it again
YOU
are now free to fly, with Purpose in Mind
God told me to share
this, from my heart, soul, and mind
