This Scripture Is Fulfilled In Your Hearing



So He (Jesus Christ) came to Nazareth, where He (Jesus Christ) had been brought up.  And as His (Jesus Christ’s) Custom was, He (Jesus Christ) went into the Synagogue on The Sabbath Day, and stood up to read.  And He (Jesus Christ) was handed The Book of The Prophet Isaiah.  And when He (Jesus Christ) had opened The Book (The Book of The Prophet Isaiah), He (Jesus Christ) found the place where it was written:

“The Spirit of The LORD (God Almighty) is upon Me (Jesus Christ), because He (God Almighty) has Anointed Me (Jesus Christ) to Preach The Gospel (The Gospel of Jesus Christ) to the poor; He (God Almighty) has sent Me (Jesus Christ) to heal the brokenhearted, to Proclaim Liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to Set at Liberty, those who are oppressed; to Proclaim The Acceptable Year of The LORD (God Almighty).”

Then He (Jesus Christ) closed The Book (The Book of The Prophet Isaiah), and gave it back to the attendant and sat down.  And the eyes of All, who were in the Synagogue, were fixed on Him (Jesus Christ).  And He (Jesus Christ) began to say to them, “Today, This Scripture is Fulfilled in your hearing.”

The Good News Of Salvation (Isaiah 61:1-2)

“The Spirit of The LORD GOD (God Almighty) is upon Me, because The LORD (God Almighty) has Anointed Me to Preach Good Tidings to the poor; He (God Almighty) has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to Proclaim Liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison, to those who are bound; to Proclaim The Acceptable Year of The LORD (God Almighty).”

This was at the beginning of Jesus Christ’s Ministry; notice how He (Jesus Christ) clearly states His (Jesus Christ) True Purpose, to Preach The Gospel of Salvation to All!  So, what was meant by “Proclaim The Acceptable Year of The LORD (God Almighty)”?  Well, it meant, God Almighty had decided, NOW is The Time, for Jesus Christ to Present Himself to The World, Officially!  Jesus Christ would quickly pull together, His Disciples, His Fishers of Men.

When We (Believers) Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, We (Believers) can truthfully say, Jesus Christ, The One and ONLY Son of God Almighty, Lived, Died, and was Risen (by God Almighty) to Life, for Our Salvation.  He (Jesus Christ) literally died upon The Cross, as payment for All of Our sins, yes, Once for All.  We (Believers) can truthfully say, that every single word in The Holy Bible, God’s Word (God Breathed AND God Inspired), is absolutely The (God-Given) Truth, which means Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion and Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, is The Truth!  And Forty Days after Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, He (Jesus Christ) Ascended (Jesus Christ’s Ascension) into Heaven, Alive, and sat down at The Right Hand of God Almighty, where He (Jesus Christ) resides Today, again, The Truth!

To Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, is to Preach The Gospel of Salvation.  But, what does this mean?  Well, it means Salvation is offered to All, that’s right, EVERYONE.  The key word is “OFFERED”, Salvation is a Free Gift, which MUST be accepted.  A person MUST acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace AND accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, in order to receive Salvation.  But, what does “receive Salvation” mean?  It means, Admitting We are sinners and We deserve to pay the Penalty (Eternal Death) for Our sins.  It means, Admitting We will NEVER be Worthy (nothing We can possibly do, can earn Our way) enough, to be in God’s Immediate Presence, on Our own.  It means, Repenting i.e. Confessing Our past sins, asking God Almighty for Forgiveness of those sins, and then turning away from sin and back towards God Almighty.  And it means, asking Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to come into Our hearts and Take Control of Our lives (i.e. to Abide within Us, through The Holy Spirit). 

Now, by accepting Jesus Christ, as Our Lord and Savior, We (Believers) become Disciples of Jesus Christ, Fishers of Men, and Children of God Almighty.  So, We (Believers) offer people, God’s Free Gift of Salvation, they are FREE to accept it OR deny it, it’s their choice.  So, what is The Choice?

ACCEPT God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and Live in God’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, God’s Holy Angels, and All the rest of The Children of God Almighty, Forever, for Eternity.

DENY God’s Free Gift of Salvation, and remain SEPARATED from God’s Immediate Presence, Forever, for Eternity.

Always remember, it is Their CHOICE.

NOW is The Time, to Present Jesus Christ to The World!  Amen.

God Almighty Waits Patiently



“And when YOU (Believers) pray, YOU (Believers) shall NOT be like the hypocrites.  For they (the hypocrites) love to pray standing in the Synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they (the hypocrites) may be seen by Men.  Assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) say to YOU (Believers), they (the hypocrites) have their reward.  But YOU (Believers), when YOU (Believers) pray, go into your room, and when YOU (Believers) have shut your door, pray to Your Father (God Almighty), who is in The Secret Place; and Your Father (God Almighty) who SEES in secret, will Reward YOU (Believers) Openly.  And when YOU (Believers) pray, do NOT use vain repetitions, as the heathen do.  For they (the heathen) think that they (the heathen) will be heard, for their (the heathen) many words.  Therefore do NOT be like them (the hypocrites OR the heathen).  For Your Father (God Almighty) KNOWS, the things YOU (Believers) have need of before YOU (Believers) ask Him (God Almighty).”

 “So, I (Jesus Christ) say to YOU (Believers), ask, and it will be given to YOU (Believers); seek, and YOU (Believers) will find; knock, and it will be opened to YOU (Believers).  For EVERYONE (Believers) who asks receives, and he (Believers) who seeks finds, and to him (Believers) who knocks, it will be opened.”

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything, give thanks; for this is The Will of God (God Almighty), in Christ Jesus, for YOU (Believers).

Therefore, I (Jesus Christ) say to YOU (Believers), whatever things YOU (Believers) ask when YOU (Believers) pray, BELIEVE that YOU (Believers) receive them, and YOU (Believers) will have them.

“Most assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) say to YOU (Believers), he (Believers) who BELIEVES in Me (Jesus Christ), The Works that I (Jesus Christ) do, he (Believers) will do also; and Greater Works than these, he (Believers) will do, because I (Jesus Christ) go to My Father (God Almighty).  And whatever YOU (Believers) ask in My (Jesus Christ’s) Name, that I (Jesus Christ) will do, that The Father (God Almighty), may be Glorified in The Son (Jesus Christ).  If YOU (Believers) ask anything in My (Jesus Christ’s) Name, I (Jesus Christ) will do it.”

“YOU (Believers) did NOT choose Me (Jesus Christ), but I (Jesus Christ) Chose YOU (Believers) and Appointed YOU (Believers) that YOU (Believers) should go and bear Fruit, and that Your (Believers) Fruit should remain, that whatever YOU (Believers) ask The Father (God Almighty), in My (Jesus Christ’s) Name, He (God Almighty) may give YOU (Believers).”

“When YOU (Believers) pray, go into your room, and when YOU (Believers) have shut your door, pray to Your Father (God Almighty), who is in The Secret Place; and Your Father (God Almighty) who SEES in secret, will Reward YOU (Believers) Openly.”

Fellow Believers, does this give YOU (Believers) an idea of the significance of prayer?  It is Our (Believers) One-on-One Time, with God Almighty Himself!  To ask Him (God Almighty) anything, that’s on Your (Believers) Mind, that’s right, anything.  Now, I realize that Jesus Christ Abides within Us (Believers), through The Holy Spirit.  So, We (Believers) can converse with Him (Jesus Christ) anytime, day or night, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.  He (Jesus Christ) NEVER leaves Our (Believers) Side.  But We (Believers) MUST make the effort, take that step toward Him (God Almighty).  We (Believers) MUST walk into His (God Almighty) Presence, by Communing with Him (God Almighty) through prayer.  Remember, “for Your Father (God Almighty) KNOWS, the things YOU (Believers) have need of before YOU (Believers) ask Him (God Almighty).”  So, pour out Your (Believers) Heart to Him (God Almighty).  Let Him (God Almighty) know your hopes, your dreams, your doubts, your fears, confess your sins and ask for His (God Almighty) Forgiveness, which He (God Almighty) will forgive, We (Believers) have His Son’s (Jesus Christ’s) Word.  Not only will He (God Almighty) forgive them (your sins), but He (God Almighty) will also forget them (your sins), i.e. NOT hold them (your sins) against YOU (Believers), Ever!

Have YOU (Believers) ever thought of prayer, as God Almighty waiting patiently, for YOU (Believers) to show up?  That’s right, Your Heavenly Father (God Almighty), waits patiently for YOU (Believers) to arrive, just so He (God Almighty) can spend some quality time with YOU (Believers).  That’s how much God Almighty Loves YOU (Believers)!  That’s how important, how vital, Prayer MUST be in Our (Believers) Daily Lives!

Right now, God Almighty is waiting patiently for YOU (Believers), how long will YOU (Believers) keep Him (God Almighty) waiting?

Avoid The Wicked, SUBMIT to God Almighty



Avoid Wicked Customs (Deuteronomy 18:9-14)


“When YOU (Believers) come into The Land, which The LORD, Your God (God Almighty) is giving YOU (Believers), YOU (Believers) shall NOT learn to follow The Abominations of Those Nations.  There shall NOT be found among YOU (Believers), ANYONE who makes his son or his daughter, Pass Through The Fire, or One who Practices Witchcraft, or a Soothsayer, or One who Interprets Omens, or a Sorcerer, or One who Conjures Spells, or a Medium, or a Spiritist, or One who Calls Up the dead.  For All (Unbelievers), who do These Things are an Abomination to The LORD (God Almighty), and because of These Abominations, The LORD, Your God (God Almighty) drives them (These Abominations) out from before YOU (Believers).  YOU (Believers) shall be blameless before The LORD, Your God (God Almighty).  For These Nations, which YOU (Believers) will dispossess, listened to Soothsayers and Diviners; but as for YOU (Believers), The LORD, Your God (God Almighty) has NOT Appointed such for YOU (Believers).”

Paul And False Apostles (2 Corinthians 11:12-15)


But what I (Believers) do, I (Believers) will also continue to do, that I (Believers) may cut off the opportunity from those (Unbelievers) who desire an opportunity to be regarded, just as We (Believers) are, in the things of which they (Unbelievers) boast.  For such (Unbelievers) are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves (Unbelievers) into Apostles of Christ (Jesus Christ).  And no wonder!  For Satan himself transforms himself (Satan) into An Angel of Light (An Image of God Almighty’s Holy Angel).  Therefore, it is no great thing if his (Satan’s) ministers, also transform themselves, into Ministers of Righteousness (Images of Believers), whose End will be according to their (Satan’s ministers) works.

Test The Spirits (1 John 4:1-6)

Beloved (Believers), do NOT believe every spirit, but Test The Spirits, whether they (The Spirits) are of God (God Almighty); because many false prophets have gone out into the World.  By this YOU (Believers) know The Spirit of God (God Almighty): EVERY Spirit (Believers), that Confesses that Jesus Christ has come in The Flesh, is of God (God Almighty), and every spirit (Unbelievers) that does NOT confess, that Jesus Christ has come in The Flesh is NOT of God (God Almighty).  And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which YOU (Believers) have heard was coming, and is now already in the World.  YOU (Believers) are of God (God Almighty), Little Children, and have overcome them (Unbelievers), because He (Jesus Christ) who is in YOU (Believers) is Greater, than he (the spirit of the Antichrist) who is in the World.  They (Unbelievers) are of the World.  Therefore, they (Unbelievers) speak as of the World, and the World hears them (Unbelievers).  We (Believers) are of God (God Almighty).  He (Believers) who KNOWS God (God Almighty) HEARS Us (Believers); he (Unbelievers) who is NOT of God (God Almighty) does NOT hear Us (Believers).  By this, We (Believers) know The Spirit of Truth (The Holy Spirit) and the spirit of error (the spirit of the Antichrist).

 

The Whole Armor Of God (Ephesians 6:10-20)


Finally, My Brethren (Fellow Believers), be STRONG in The LORD (God Almighty) and in The Power of His (God Almighty’s) Might.  Put On The Whole Armor of God (God Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be able to stand, against the wiles of the devil.  For We (Believers) do NOT wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in The Heavenly Places.  Therefore, Take Up The Whole Armor of God (God Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be able to withstand in The Evil Day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having Girded Your (Believers) Waist with Truth, having Put On The Breastplate of Righteousness, and having Shod Your (Believers) Feet with The Preparation of The Gospel of Peace; Above All, taking The Shield of Faith with which YOU (Believers) will be able to quench, all the fiery darts of the wicked one.  And Take The Helmet of Salvation, and The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God (God Almighty); praying always with all prayer and supplication in The Spirit, being Watchful to this end, with all perseverance and supplication for All The Saints (Believers), and for me (Believers), that utterance may be given to me (Believers), that I (Believers) may open My (Believers) Mouth boldly, to make KNOWN The Mystery of The Gospel (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), for which I (Believers) am an Ambassador in chains; that in it, I (Believers) may Speak Boldly, as I (Believers) ought to speak.

Safety Of Abiding In The Presence Of God (Psalm 91:9-11)


Because YOU (Believers) have made The LORD (God Almighty), who is My (Believers) Refuge, Even The Most High, Your Dwelling Place, NO evil shall befall YOU (Believers), nor shall any plague come near Your (Believers) Dwelling; for He (God Almighty) shall give His (God Almighty’s) Angels Charge over YOU (Believers), to keep YOU (Believers) in All Your (Believers) Ways.  In Their (God Almighty’s Holy Angels) Hands, They (God Almighty’s Holy Angels) shall bear YOU (Believers) up, lest YOU (Believers) dash Your (Believers) Foot against a stone.

SUBMIT to God Almighty, Resist The Devil (James 4:7, 8, & 10)


Therefore, SUBMIT to God (God Almighty).  Resist the devil and he (the devil) will flee from YOU (Believers).  Draw near to God (God Almighty) and He (God Almighty) will draw near to YOU (Believers).  Humble Yourselves (Believers), in The Sight of The LORD (God Almighty), and He (God Almighty) Will Lift YOU (Believers) Up.

God Almighty’s Thoughts And Ways (Isaiah 55:8-9)


“For My (God Almighty’s) Thoughts, are NOT Your (Believers) Thoughts, nor are Your (Believers) Ways, My (God Almighty’s) Ways,” says The LORD (God Almighty).  “For as The Heavens are Higher than the Earth, so are My (God Almighty’s) Ways Higher, than Your (Believers) Ways, and My (God Almighty’s) Thoughts, than Your (Believers) Thoughts.”

Fellow Believers, Satan (the devil) uses everything in his (Satan, the devil) arsenal, to try to separate Us (Believers) from Our LORD, God Almighty, AND to keep Us (Believers) from Sharing The Truth.  He (Satan, the devil) wants to keep Us (Believers) from Preaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We (Believers) have Our Own Weapons, as mentioned above, but more importantly, We (Believers) have Jesus Christ abiding within Us (Believers), through The Holy Spirit, AND We (Believers) have The Power of Prayer.

So, I challenge each of YOU (Believers), to Speak Boldly, as YOU (Believers) ought to speak.  Tell the World, about God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  Amen.

The Seven Thunders And The Little Book Mysteries



The Mighty Angel With The Little Book (Revelation 10:1-7)


I (John) saw still another Mighty Angel coming down from Heaven, clothed with a Cloud.  And a Rainbow was on His (The Mighty Angel’s) Head, His (The Mighty Angel’s) Face was like the Sun, and His (The Mighty Angel’s) Feet like Pillars of Fire.  He (The Mighty Angel) had a Little Book open in His (The Mighty Angel’s) Hand.  And He (The Mighty Angel) set His (The Mighty Angel’s) Right Foot on the Sea and His (The Mighty Angel’s) Left Foot on the land, and cried with a Loud Voice, as when a lion roars.  When He (The Mighty Angel) cried out, Seven Thunders uttered Their (The Seven Thunders) Voices.  Now when The Seven Thunders uttered Their (The Seven Thunders) Voices, I (John) was about to write; but I (John) heard a Voice (God Almighty’s) from Heaven saying to me (John), “Seal up The Things which The Seven Thunders uttered, and do NOT write them.”  The Angel (The Mighty Angel) whom I (John) saw standing on the Sea and on the land, raised up His (The Mighty Angel’s) Hand to Heaven and swore by Him (God Almighty), who lives Forever and ever, who created Heaven and the things that are in it (Heaven), the Earth and the things that are in it (the Earth), and the Sea and the things that are in it (the Sea), that there should be delay no longer, but in The Days of The Sounding of The Seventh Angel, when He (The Seventh Angel) is about to Sound, The Mystery of God (God Almighty) would be Finished, as He (God Almighty) Declared to His (God Almighty’s) Servants, The Prophets.

John Eats The Little Book (Revelation 10:8-11)

 

Then The Voice (God Almighty) which I (John) heard from Heaven spoke to me (John) again and said, “Go, take The Little Book which is open in The Hand of The Angel (The Mighty Angel) who stands on the Sea and on the Earth.”  So I (John) went to The Angel (The Mighty Angel) and said to him (The Mighty Angel), “Give me (John) The Little Book.”  And He (The Mighty Angel) said to me (John), “Take and eat it; and it will make your (John’s) stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your (John’s) mouth.”  Then I (John) took The Little Book out of The Angel’s (The Mighty Angel’s) Hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my (John’s) mouth.  But when I (John) had eaten it, my (John’s) stomach became bitter.  And He (The Mighty Angel) said to me (John), “YOU (John) MUST Prophesy again, about Many Peoples, Nations, Tongues, and Kings.”

Now, this falls between The Sixth Trumpet (The Angels From The Euphrates) and The Two Witnesses, followed by The Seventh Trumpet (The Kingdom Proclaimed).


Did YOU notice, We (Believers) are NOT told, who or what The Seven Thunders are, and We (Believers) are NOT told, what The Seven Thunders said.  Also, We (Believers) are NOT told, what the significance of The Little Book is.  Two big mysteries, The Seven Thunders and The Little Book, which The Book of Revelation, does NOT reveal to Us (Believers), because John was Commanded, by God Almighty, NOT to reveal them, to Us (Believers).  So, why did John mention them?
