Folks, way back in March 2013, The Lord Jesus Christ put upon my heart to start sharing The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ (Through The Gospel Of Jesus Christ). Now, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord And Savior, way back in June 1972; BUT, Jesus did NOT call me into Ministry, etc., and up to THAT point in time (March 2013), I didn’t even feel worthy of doing so. After all, though I had read through The Holy Bible (personally) several times, I hadn’t memorized Scriptures, I hadn’t done deep studies, I hadn’t ever taught anything Biblically, etc.; therefore, I didn’t feel that I was “qualified” to do so. And after all, there were plenty of people (older than me), that had been “Christians” their whole lives, who had attended “Church Services”, etc. their entire lifetimes, surely, they were much more qualified, than me.
Now, I could say, that I had read THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH (The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy), and that, I held A Biblical WorldView – PERSONALLY; BUT, I did NOT share it – OPENLY, because I was an introvert and extremely shy (I didn’t like “confrontations”).
BUT GOD (GOD Almighty) – Through The Holy Spirit put upon my heart to start sharing The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ (Through The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); by setting aside my shyness, and to stand up and share THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH!
So, I started re-reading THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, studying it, praying upon what I had read, and asking The Holy Spirit for guidance – on what to share, and how to share it; which is, WHO taught me how to share it, and the way, that I share it!
Now, I’ve not been one to read other people’s commentary on Scripture(s), because each time, any of us reads a book, or chapter, or verse from THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH; The Holy Spirit REVEALS to each of us, what GOD Almighty wants each of us, to know, at THAT point in time; so, though it might be applicable to me, it was (in my mind) applicable to THAT person (at THAT point in time), if you know what I mean. Also, I personally ran into situations, when I read THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH; that, in the same sentence of Scripture, there might be two He’s, and it was confusing as to whom, the writer was referring to, or “we” versus “they”, or “you” versus “them”, etc., I think you get my point. So, when I began writing (what I call) Mini-Sermons, I started putting in what I call, “identifiers”; because they (these “identifiers”) helped me to better understand The Scriptures, and it was better than writing it twice, or a lengthy explanation (or commentary), if you know what I mean.
Now, one agreement I made with The Holy Spirit (rhetorically); is that, The Holy Spirit (Our Teacher) would / or will NOT allow me to lead anyone astray; that’s why, I use Scripture(s) to get each point across; in this way, no one can say, “Well, That’s YOUR Opinion!” Because, I can say, “NO, THAT’S GOD ALMIGHTY’S WORD, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT – TAKE IT UP WITH HIM!” Also, I do my best NOT to take Scripture “out of context”, which makes for some very lengthy messages, in order to get the point across; but also, so that I have lots of Scriptures to back up my point.
After all, I find it so much easier, to let Scripture make the point; and to let Scripture back up Scripture!
Now, I realize that my writing style, and the way that I present Scripture (with identifiers, etc.) is NOT for everyone; and I have been accused (by fellow Self-Professing “Christians) of “Adding To Scripture” (because of these “identifiers”); BUT, there is a huge difference between WRITING MY OWN SCRIPTURE, and adding IT to THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH; verses adding “identifiers” to helps others better understand THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH!
My Goal Is To Help Yet-To-Be-Believers, By Sharing The Saving Knowledge Of Jesus Christ (Through The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), In The Hopes Of THEM – Acknowledging GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE, AND Accepting GOD ALMIGHTY’S FREE GIFT OF SALVATION (Which COMES ONLY – THROUGH Jesus Christ); Thereby, Joining Us (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty); BUT Also, To Encourage And Sharpen My Fellow Brothers And Sisters In Christ (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Through THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH (The ENTIRE Holy Bible, And Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy)!
IN THE END, THE ONLY ONE, I MUST GLORIFY, PRAISE, PLEASE, AND ANSWER TO – IS GOD ALMIGHTY (Through My Mediator Jesus Christ – With Help From The Holy Spirit)!
Finally, WE ALL STAND – IN The Whole ARMOR Of GOD Almighty; KNOWING, That Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us – Through The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ – WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit – TEACHES Us, AND Most Importantly, GOD Almighty – WATCHES OVER Us, Always. Amen.
