( STRANGE GOD'S )
( JEREMIAH CH 11 V 1 - 12 & CH 13 V 1- 11 )

• 1.HE REMINDED ISRAEL OF THE DAYS OF BLESSING AND DELIVERANCE AS HE IS TRYING TO TODAY WITH THIS WORLD.
• 2.HE REPROACHES THEM FOR FORSAKING HIM AND HOW THE WORLD HAD DONE THAT TODAY .
• 3.HE ACCUSES THEM OF CHOOSING OTHER GODS AND HOW MANY DIFFERENT GODS DO WE HAVE INTO DAYS WORLD.
  THIS COVENANT WAS TO THE JUDAH AND ISRAEL AS GOD'S COMMANDMENTS ARE TODAY FOR THE CHRISTIAN. IN ( JER CH 11 V 4 ) GOD SAY OBEY MY VOICE AND DO THEM, ACCORDING TO ALL WHICH I HAVE COMMANDED YOU, SO SHALL YE BE MY PEOPLE AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD. SEE THEY HAD FORSAKEN GOD COVENANT AND HAD WENT AND FOLLOWED OTHER GODS. THEY HAD A EVIL HEART AND WOULD NOT FOLLOW THE GOD OF THEIR FATHER ( GOD ALMIGHTY ).LOOK AT THESE SCRIPTURE AS TO THIS EVIL HEART WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
• 1.JER CH 5 V 23 )
• 2..JER CH 7 V 23 & 24 )
• 3..JER CH 9 V 13 & 14 )
• 4..JER CH 16 V 12 )
  THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG TODAY IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE EVIL HEARTS AND ARE FOLLOWING FALSE GODS AND NOT FOLLOW CHRIST JESUS. GOD GAVE THEM A WAY OUT BUT THEY REFUSED TO RETURN TO GOD, LOOK AT ( JER CH 3 V 22 ).ALL THEY HAD TO TO WAS RETURN TO GOD AS YOU AND I ARE TO DO WHEN WE HAVE BACKSLIDDEN ON GOD, BUT BECAUSE OF THIS EVIL IN THEIR HEART THEY REFUSE TO DO THAT.
  GOD TOLD JEREMIAH IN ( CH 7 V 1 - 16 ) TO GO AND PROCLAIM TO THEM HIS WORDS AS YOU AND I ARE TO THE LOST AND DYING WORLD, AND FOR THEM TO AMEND THEIR WAYS AND THEIR DOINGS AND NOT TRUST IN LYING WORDS AND HE WOULD COME AND WORSHIP WITH THEM, BUT THEY STILL REFUSED AND GOD DEALS WITH THEM IN V 13 - 16.MY FRIEND GOD WILL DEAL WITH YOU AND I AND JUDGMENT WILL COME. WE HAVE A LOT OF HARD NECKED PEOPLE TODAY AS IN JEREMIAH DAYS ( JER CH 7 V 26 ).LET ME ASK A QUESTION AS WAS ASKED IN (JER CH 8 V 14), WHY DO WE SIT STILL? THERE IS SO MUCH FOR US TO BE DOING FOR GOD AND ALL WE WANT TO DO IS SIT ON BEHINDS.
  A CURSE IS PROMISED TO A MAN WHO OBEYETH NOT GOD COVENANT ( JER CH 11 V 3 ) AND GOD SAID IN ( JER CH 9 V 16 ) THAT HE WILL EXECUTE JUDGEMENT ON ONE WHO WALKS AFTER OTHER GOD'S. LOOK OVER IN ( JER CH 13 V 1 -- 10 ), GOD TELLS JEREMIAH TO PUT ON A GIRDLE ( WHICH REPRESENTS A CHRISTIAN TODAY) AND JEREMIAH WORE THAT GIRDLE UNTIL GOD TOLD HIM TO TAKE IT TO THE RIVER AND DIG A HOLE AND BURY IT IN THE MUD. IT BECAME MARRED ( SIN ) AND IT WAS PROFITABLE FOR NOTHING JUST AS A CHRISTIAN TODAY WHO BECOMES MARRED WITH SIN (V 10 ) AND IS PROFITABLE FOR NOTHING
  WE THINK WE CAN HID FROM GOD ( JER CH 23 V 23 & 24 ), BUT GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS. BUT FOR YOU AND I TO COME BACK TO GOD WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING HAPPEN TO USE, LOOK IN ( JER CH 23 V 29 ),MY FRIEND WHEN GOD'S WORD GETS HOLD OF YOU YOU WILL GET RIGHT OR GET OUT ONE. TO COME BACK TO GOD YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT EVIL HEART CHANGED, LOOK AT ( JER CH 24 V 7 ), GOD WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART SO YOU CAN NO HIM AND SO HE CAN BE YOU ONE AND ONLY GOD. AFTER YOU GET THAT NEW HEART THEN YOU CAN CALL UPON GOD AND HE WILL HEAR YOU, LOOK AT ( JER 29 V 12 & 13 ).YOU SEE AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THAT EVIL HEART GOD WILL NOT HEAR YOU BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THAT NEW HEART( PURE HEART ) THEN GOD WILL HEAR YOU WHEN YOU CALL UPON HIM.

( DR LAW & DR GRACE )

WE NEED TO GO TO DR. LAW FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH US. NOW DR. LAW ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH US BEFORE WE EVEN GET THERE. HE DOES NEED TO HEAR OUR SYMPTOMS TO MAKE HIS DIAGNOSIS. LET ME SAY WE ARE NOT GOING LIKE THIS DOCTOR, HE IS A FIRM, OUTSPOKEN AND VERY SURE OF HIMSELF. BUT WE CAN'T THIS OTHER DOCTOR CALLED GRACE UNTIL WE FIRST GO THRU THIS DOCTOR. WE TRY TO TELL HIM OF OUR SYMPTOMS, BUT HE SAYS HE DOESN'T NEED TO HEAR THEM, THAT HE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH US. HE TELLS US THAT WE HAVE ( HEART TROUBLE ).BUT WE TELL HIM OUR SYMPTOMS ANYWAY. WE TELL HIM EYE TROUBLE ( WATCHING TV ), WE HAVE TONGUE TROUBLE ( TELLING DIRTY JOKES ), WE HAVE HAND TROUBLE ( PLAYING CARDS ), WE HAVE EAR TROUBLES ( LISTING TO DIRTY JOKES ), WE HAVE FEET TROUBLE ( GOING PLACES WE OUGHT NOT TO BE ), WE HAVE ARM TROUBLES ( HOLDING AND SLEEPING WITH WOMEN ), WE HAVE TASTE TROUBLES( DRINKING BEER AND GETTING DRUNK ).BUT DR. LAW SITS THERE AND LISTEN TO ALL THIS AND SAYS, NO THAT NOT WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, IT'S YOUR HEART. SO WE SAY WELL WHAT IS YOUR DIAGNOSIS DR. LAW FOR ME AND HE LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS ONE LITTLE WORD------DEATH-----.

BUT WE DON'T LIKE THAT DIAGNOSIS WE WANT TO TRY OTHERS DOCTORS, LIKE THIS NEW DOCTOR IN TOWN CALLED DR. RELIGION, DR. FEELGOOD, DR. DO GOOD,
DR. BE GOOD. THEY ALL TELL US THAT IT IS NOTHING SERIOUS, THERE DIAGNOSIS FOR US IS TO GO AND JOIN THE CHURCH, GET BAPTIZED, DO CHURCH WORK. THAT ALL WORKS FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT THEN WE GO BACK TO THAT OLD SIN NATURE. SO WE END GOING BACK TO DR. LAW AND HE TELLS US THAT THEIR IS ONE WAY TO SAVE OUR LIVES, WE HAVE TO HAVE AN OPERATION, A HEART OPERATION AND IT IS A VERY SERIOUS OPERATION, BUT HE TELLS US HE CAN'T DO IT , HE WILL HAVE TO REFER US TO A SPECIALIST ON THIS OPERATION AND THIS DOCTOR IS CALLED DR. GRACE. SO DR .LAW SETS US UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR. GRACE, BUT HE TELLS US WE HAVE TO TURN IT OVER TO HIM AND HAVE COMPLETE FAITH AND TRUST IN DR. GRACE

YOU SEE DR. GRACE IS A PRIVATE SURGEON, HE IS NOTHING LIKE DR. LAW, HE IS WHITE AND CLEAN AND PERFECT. DR. LAW TELLS US THAT THIS IS AS FAR AS HE CAN GO WITH US AND TURNS US OVER TO DR. GRACE WHO IS GOING TO PERFORM THIS SERIOUS OPERATION ON US. BUT WE ASK WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS OPERATION AND WE ARE TOLD IT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR. BUT BEFORE WE HAVE THIS OPERATION WE NOTICE THAT DR. GRACE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE ANY NURSES AND HE DOESN'T EVEN PUT US TO SLEEP, HE WANTS US TO BE AWARE OF WHAT HAPPENS TO US DURING THIS OPERATION.

DR. GRACE STARTS THE OPERATION AND TAKES THAT KNIFE AND OPENS UP THAT FLESH AND TAKES OUT THAT OLD WICKED FLESHLY HEART, THE ODOR WAS WICKED, NASTY AND FOWL SMELLING. AND HE GOES OVER TO THE WINDOW AND OPENS IT UP AND THROWS THAT OLD SIN SICK HEART INTO GODS SEA OF FORGET FULLNESS AND FORGIVENESS. THEN DR. GRACE PUTS A NEW HEART IN, A HEART THAT IS PURE AND FULL OF LOVE AND IT WILL LAST FOREVER. THIS CURE IS PERMANENT, HOW MUCH BETTER WE WILL FEEL AND WE ASK DR. GRACE FOR SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO KEEP THIS NEW HEART STRONG AND FIT. HE TELLS US WE NEED TO FEED IT DAILY WITH GOOD BIBLE FOOD, WE NEED TO EXERCISE IT DAILY BY KNEELING DOWN, GET UP AND DOWN FROM OUR KNEES AND EVER ONCE IN AWHILE WE NEED TO JUST FALL DOWN ON OUR FACE BEFORE GOD. DR. GRACE TELLS US THOSE SYMPTOMS WE HAD BEFORE WITH THAT OLD SIN SICK HEART ARE GONE BECAUSE THOSE EYES, TONGUE, HANDS, EARS, FEET, ARMS, TASTE WILL DO WHAT OUR NEW PURE HEART TELLS THEM TO DO.

THEN REMEMBER WE WANTED TO KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS OPERATION AND WE WOULD SURE LIKE TO MEET HIM AND THANK HIM FOR SAVING OUR LIVES, WELL DR. GRACE SAID TURN AROUND AND MEET HIM AND THERE STOOD CHRIST JESUS THE ONE WHO PAID FOR MY OPERATION I NOTICED THAT HE HAD BEEN OPERATED ON TO BECAUSE HE HAD SCARES ON HIS HANDS AND FEET AND IN HIS SIDE, THEN I REALIZED THEN THAT IT WAS ME THAT PUT THEM THERE .I TOLD DR. GRACE THAT I WOULD START ON THAT EXERCISE PROGRAM RIGHT NOW AND START PRAISING AND WORSHIPPING HIM FOR PAYING FOR MY OPERATION. THEN I REALIZED HOW MUCH I NEEDED TO THANK DR. LAW FOR BEING SO STRICT WITH ME AND TELLING ME ABOUT DR. GRACE.

IN CLOSING: GALATIANS 3 V 24 & 25 SAYS: WHEREFORE THE LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO CHRIST, THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH.V25, BUT AFTER THAT FAITH IS COME, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOLMASTER. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS STORY AND PLEASE READ THOSE SCRIPTURES I GAVE AT THE START OF THE LESSON , THEY GO ALONG WITH IT.
GOD BLESS AND SEE YOU IN SUNDAY SCHOOL, BRO TIM.

( WHAT WAS PAUL'S THORN IN THE FLESH )
( 2 COR 12 V 7 - 10 )

THEREFORE PAUL'S THORN IN THE FLESH WAS A WICKED SPIRIT OR ANGEL SENT BY SATAN TO BUFFET HIM. BUFFET MEANS TO STRIKE REPEATEDLY. THE PHRASE "THORN IN THE FLESH: IS A FIGURE OF SPEECH OR ILLUSTRATION. IT IS SIMILAR TO CALLING SOMEONE " A PAIN IN THE NECK". PAUL'S THORN WAS A EVIL ANGEL WHO CAUSED HIM GREAT IRRITATION, BUT NO SICKNESS OR DISEASE. PAUL LIST IN ( 2 COR 11 V 24 - 26 ) WHAT SOME OF THESE IRRITATIONS WERE-BEING IMPRISONED, STONED, BEATEN, SHIPWRECKED, AND ATTACKED BY ANGRY MOBS. ALSO LOOK OVER IN ( ACTS 13 V 45 & 50 & ACTS 14 V 5- 7 & 19 - 20 ) THESE WHERE PEOPLE THAT WHERE INSTRUMENTS USED BY THE MESSENGER OF SATAN TO ATTACK PAUL.

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THIS THORN? THIS EVIL ANGEL WAS ASSIGNED TO PAUL FOR ONE REASON--TO STOP THE WORD FROM BEING PREACHED. WHEREVER HE WENT, THE MESSENGER OF SATAN WORKED TO INCITE THE PEOPLE AGAINST HIM. ALL THE PERSECUTIONS THAT PAUL RECEIVED WAS SATAN'S ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE WORD FROM HIM ( SEE MARK 4 V 14 - 20 ).
THESE JUDAIZERS AS WITH CHRIST ARE KNOW TRYING TO KILL PAUL. AND IN THIS VEXING AND PERSECUTION BY THESE THORNS IN THE FLESH , WE CAN SEE WHY GOD DID NOT REMOVE IT FROM HIM.( PAUL ASKED 3 TIMES FOR GOD TO REMOVE THIS FROM HIM BUT GOD REFUSED, SEE 2 COR 12 V 8 ).FOR TRIBULATION IS NORMAL FOR THE CHRISTIAN, AND GODS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT , OR ENOUGH FOR US. IN THIS PERSECUTION, PAUL IS KEPT FROM BEING EXALTED AND PRIDEFUL. YES THESE THORNS KEEP PAUL, AND THE REST OF US, HUMBLE. SEE PAUL HAD SEEN GLORIOUS THING ( 2 COR 12 V 7 ) AND HAD RECEIVED MANY REVELATION AND WAS USED MIGHTILY OF GOD AND WITHOUT THESE THORNS HE AS YOU AND I WOULD BECOME EXALTED AND PRIDEFUL.

PAUL AS YOU AND I DO WANT GOD TO REMOVE THE THORNS IN OUR LIFE. HE WANTED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL WITHOUT THE CONSTANT OR VEXING OF THOSE WHO HATED HIM ( SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU AND I ).GOD USED THIS MESSENGER OF SATAN FOR PAUL TO LEARN TO SURRENDER HIS OWN WILL TO THE WILL OF GOD. HE WOULD TAKE IT PATIENTLY, AND GLORY IN HIS INFIRMITIES( WEAKNESS ).LOOK WHAT HE SAID IN ( 1 PETER 2 V 20 ).WHEN PAUL IN HIMSELF WAS WEAK, PAUL IN CHRIST WAS STRONG. THIS ANGEL OF SATAN NEVER DID OVERCOME PAUL AND THE POWER OF GOD. PAUL SAYS HE WOULD "GLADLY GLORY IN HIS INFIRMITIES "( 2 COR 12 V 9 ).

IN ( ROMANS 8 V 26 & HEBREWS 11 V 34 ) PAUL USES THE WORDS INFIRMITIES AND WEAKNESS. THE WORD TRANSLATED WEAKNESS IS THE EXACT SAME WORD ( ASTHENES ) WHICH TRANSLATES INFIRMITIES. IN THESE TIMES OF WEAKNESS, CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MADE STRONG AND IT CAN BE A TIME OF REJOICING. LOOK AT ( ROMANS 5 V 2 - 6 ), IN WEAKNESS, THAT CAN BE A TIME IN WHICH TO EXPERIENCE THE STRENGTH WHICH ONLY CHRIST CAN GIVE. ALSO ( HEBREW 4 V 15 ).THIS THORN IN HIS FLESH PERSECUTED AND TROUBLE PAUL, AND IN THIS PLEADING WITH GOD FOR DELIVERANCE, PAUL WOULD LEARN PATIENCE AND WHERE HIS HELP WAS.( 2 COR 12 V 10 ).

IN CLOSING,
THIS IS THE MOST SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF THE THORN IN THE FLESH THAT IS POSSIBLE FOR GOD OR MAN TO GIVE. IT WAS THE MESSENGER ( THE ANGEL OF SATAN). IT NEVER MEANS A DISEASE OR PHYSICAL INFIRMITY. THIS ANGEL OF SATAN FOLLOWED PAUL AND BUFFETED HIM WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED. THIS WAS WHAT THE ANGEL CAUSED PAUL TO GO THRU TO KEEP HIM HUMBLE, TO UNDERSTAND THIS LOOK BACK IN THE O.T IN ( NUM 33 V 55, EZ 28 V 24 & HOS 2 V 6 ) WHERE IT IS DESCRIBED AS A THORN.

SATAN IS USED AT TIMES AS AN INSTRUMENT TO BOLSTER THE FAITH OR PROVE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE BELIEVER. THIS THORN WAS A POSITIVE THING AND KEEP PAUL FROM BECOMING CONCEITED ( KEEP HIM HUMBLE ).THE THORN IN THE FLESH WAS PEOPLE SATAN USED WHO ARE LEFT AMONG THE CHILDREN OF GOD WHO WOULD VEX OR TROUBLE THEM, THOSE THAT STOOD AGAINST PAUL IN THOSE DAYS JUST AS THOSE WHO STAND AGAINST US TODAY IN OUR LIFE'S.

P.S. I HAVE BEEN OUT FOR SOMETIME NOW BECAUSE I HAD TO HAVE A TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT AND I THANK EVERYONE ONE FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND WE WILL START GETTING OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON BACK ON EVER WEEK AS USUAL.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS, BRO TIM.

(PLAYING WITH GOD)
(EXODUS CH 12 V 12 & 13 )

IN ( EXODUS CH 7 V 10 - 13 ) MOSES AND AARON WENT BEFORE PHARAOH AND AARON CAST DOWN BEFORE HIM HIS ROD AND IT BECAME A SERPENT AND THEN PHARAOHS MAGICIANS DID THE SAME THING BUT AARON'S ROD SWALLOWED THE MAGICIANS ROD UP.  THIS WAS NOT A SNAKE BUT A CROCODILE WHICH THE EGYPTIANS WORSHIPED AS A GOD. THE HEBREW WORD HERE FOR SERPENT IS TANNIN WHICH IS TRANSLATED HERE MEANING CROCODILE, NO WHERE ELSE IS IT TRANSLATED THAT WAY. IN EZEKIEL AND ISAIAH SERPENT IS TRANSLATED AS A DRAGON. SO YOU WOULD THINK THAT PHARAOH KNEW WHO HE WAS DEALING WITH BUT WE DO THE SAME THING WITH GOD.

PLAGUES: THE FIRST FOUR PLAGUES WERE DIRECTED AGAINST THE DIFFERENT GODS , GODDESSES , AND IDOLS, AND GOD DIRECTS THE LAST PLAGUES SO THEY WILL WORK A TREMENDOUS HARDSHIP UPON THE PEOPLE AND THEIR STRUGGLE TO STAY ALIVE.

DURING THESE PLAGUES YOU FIND THAT PHARAOH TRIED 4 TIMES TO COMPROMISE WITH GOD AS DO YOU AND I DO SO MANY TIMES IN OUR LIVES.
THE FIRST 4 PLAGUES PHARAOH HARDENED HIS OWN HEART AND THE LAST ONES IT SAYS THAT GOD HARDENED HIS HEART. YOU AND I ARE JUST LIKE PHARAOH AND WHEN WE DO AS PHARAOH DID THEN GODS JUDGMENT FALL ON US.

1ST PLAGUE: WATER TURNED INTO BLOOD ( EXODUS CH 7 V 17 ).I WANT YOU TO NOTICE ONE THING THAT PHARAOH MAGICIANS WHERE ABLE TO DO THE SAME THING BUT THEY COULD NOT TURN THE BLOOD BACK INTO WATER.

2ND PLAGUE: FROGS ( EXODUS CH 8 V 2 ).THE SAME THING HERE PHARAOH MAGICIANS CALLED FORTH THE FROGS AS DID AARON BUT THEY COULD NOT GET THE FROGS TO GO AWAY. ONLY MOSES AND AARON COULD MAKE THEM GO AWAY BUT PHARAOH WAS PLAYING WITH GOD.

3RD PLAGUE: LICE ( EXODUS CH 8 V 16 ).THIS TIME THE MAGICIANS TRIED TO DO AS MOSES AND AARON BUT COULD NOT. HERE I BELIEVE THAT THIS LICE WAS NOT AS WE THINK OF IT TODAY BUT THE LICE WAS A NAT OR MOSQUITOES.

4TH PLAGUE: FLIES ( EXODUS CH 8 V 21 ). HERE IS WHERE WE FIND PHARAOH COMPROMISES WITH GOD. I BELIEVE THIS FLY TO BE A TYPE OF BEETLES. HE WAS GOING TO LET THEM GO 3 DAYS INTO THE WILDERNESS AND WORSHIP BUT HAD TO STAY IN THE LAND. ALSO NOTICE HERE THAT THE OTHER PLAGUES BEFORE THIS ONE AFFECTED EGYPT AND GOSHEN WHERE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL LIVED BUT STARTING WITH THIS ONE AND THE REST OF THE PLAGUES WHERE JUST TO EFFECT EGYPT ONLY, GOSHEN WOULD BE SPARED.

5TH PLAGUE: MURRAIN ( EXODUS CH 9 V 3 ) ONLY THE ANIMALS IN EGYPT DIED THE REST OF THE ANIMALS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WHERE NOT HURT.

6TH PLAGUE: BOILS ( EXODUS CH 9 V 9 ). I BELIEVE THAT PHARAOH WAS THE FIRST ONE TO HAVE BOILS AND HIS WISE MEN. THIS PLAGUE AFFECTS MEN AND BEAST. THIS WAS THE END OF FALSE WORSHIPING. THE PRIEST HAD BOILS AND THEY WHERE TO BE CLEAN ,WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF BREAK OUT OR SICKNESS AND NOW THEY WHERE COVERED WITH BOILS LIKE EVERYBODY WAS.

7TH PLAGUE: HAIL ( EXODUS CH 9 V 18 )MOSES AND AARON TOLD PHARAOH IT WAS GOING TO RAIN VERY HEAVY AND HAIL WAS TO COME. IT RAINS LESS THAN A INCH A YEAR THERE SO THIS SOUNDED FOOLISH TO PHARAOH. BUT AFTER THIS HAPPENED WE SEE PHARAOH PLAYING WITH GOD AGAIN.( V 34 ).

8TH PLAGUE: LOCUSTS ( EXODUS CH 10 V 4 ).THESE LOCUSTS CAME AND DESTROYED ALL OF THE LAND AND HIS SERVANTS TRY TO REASON WITH HIM. HE AGAIN TRY COMPROMISING WITH GOD. HE TOLD THEM THAT THE ADULTS COULD GO INTO THE WILDERNESS AND WORSHIP GOD BUT HAD TO LEAVE THEIR CHILDREN BEHIND SO THEY WOULD COME BACK. HE GOT MAD BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT HIS COMPROMISE THIS TIME AS BEFORE.

9TH PLAGUE: DARKNESS ( EXODUS CH 10 V 21 ).EGYPT WAS IN TOTAL DARKNESS FOR 3 DAYS AND NO ONE SAW EACH OTHER. BUT IT SAYS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD LIGHT IN THEIR DWELLING. AND AFTER THIS MOSES AND AARON DEALT WITH PHARAOH NO MORE.

( THE GREAT JUDGMENT )
THE DEATH OF THE FIRST BORN.
( EXODUS CH 11 V 4 & 5 ).

MY FRIEND DO YOU HAVE THE BLOOD OF CHRIST APPLIED TO YOUR HOUSE ( THE BIBLE SAYS ARE BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD), A LOT OF US ARE JUST LIKE PHARAOH WE PLAY WITH GOD AND WHEN YOU PLAY WITH GOD THEIR IS A JUDGMENT COMING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ALL APPEAR AT AND LIKE THAT NIGHT IN PHARAOHS DAY WHAT WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IS IF YOU HAVE THE BLOOD OF CHRIST OVER YOU DOOR POST. IT SAID THE DEATH ANGLE CAME AT MIDNIGHT AND NY FRIEND IT IS 11.59 WHAT ARE YOU AND I GOING TO DO? GOD BLESS YOU ALL BRO TIM PARROTT.

ALSO I HAVE A ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE THAT WE HAVE A NEW ASST SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER BRO BRYAN SHULTZ WILL BE HELPING ME, SO YOU LIFE HIM UP IN PRAY FOR HE WILL BE TEACHING FOR ME DURING MY SURGERY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BRO BRYAN.

(RESURRECTION OF THE BODY)
( 1 COR CH 15 V 1 - 58 )

PAUL ALWAYS MADE SURE THAT THE CORINTHIANS HAD EVERYTHING KNOWN TO THEM THAT GOD HAD GIVEN HIM. MANY PEOPLE SEEN CHRIST IN HIS RESURRECTED BODY AS PAUL TALK ABOUT AT THE BEGINNING ON THE CHAPTER. NOTICE ONE THING WHAT PAUL SAYS IN ( 1 COR 15 V 10 ) THAT GRACE PUTS YOU AND I TO WORK FOR GOD IT MAKES US THE TYPE OF CHRISTIAN YOU ARE TODAY, HE SAID BY GRACE I AM WHAT I AM AND BECAUSE OF IT I LABOR FOR CHRIST JESUS.

NOW LOOK AT WHAT PAUL SAYS IN (V 13 - 19 ).THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU AND I . HE SAYS IN A NUT SHELL IF JESUS WAS NOT RESURRECTED THEN YOU AND ME FRIEND ARE STILL LOST AND ON OUR WAY TO HELL.( V 17 ). HERE ARE 7 CONSEQUENCE IF THE RESURRECTION DIDN'T TAKE PLACE.
1. CHRIST IS DIED, NOT ALIVE.
2.OUR FAITH IN CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR IS WORTHLESS.
3. PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL IS MEANINGLESS.
4.ALL WITNESSES TO AND ALL PREACHERS OF THE RESURRECTION WOULD BE NOTHING BUT LIARS.
5.ALL MEN WOULD STILL BE IN THEIR SINS AND LOST.
6.ALL THOSE WHO DIED BELIEVING IN CHRIST WOULD HAVE NO HOPE .
7.CHRISTAINS WOULD BE THE MOST MISERABLE PEOPLE ON THE EARTH.
BUT PRAISE GOD HE DID RESURRECT THAT MORNING AND IS ALIVE AND IN HEAVEN.

THEN PAUL DISCUSSES 3 ASPECTS OF THE RESURRECTION.
1.THE REDEEMER
2.THE REDEEMED
3.THE RESTORATION

(THE REDEEMER ) ( 1 COR CH 15 V 20-22 ). THREE MANY PEOPLE IN THE O.T AND N.T THAT DIED BUT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE BUT THEY DIED AGAIN BUT JESUS BECAME THE FIRST ONE TO DIE AND COME BACK TO LIFE TO NEVER DIE AGAIN. HE WAS THE FIRST FRUITS. IN ADAM IS SIMPLY TO BE HUMAN, TO HAVE BEEN BORN ONCE. IN CHRIST IS TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, TO BE BORN AGAIN. IN ADAM WE INHERITED A SIN NATURE BUT WITH CHRIST WE INHERITED ETERNAL LIFE.

(THE REDEEMED ) ( 1 COR CH 15 V 23 ). CHRIST HARVESTED ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVED. BUT THE HARVEST WILL BE IN 3 STAGES.
1. THOSE WHO DIED BETWEEN PENTECOST AND THE RAPTURE (1 THESS CH 4 V 16)
2. THOSE WHO DIED THRU THE TRIBULATION ( REV CH 20 V 4 )
3. THEN THE RESURRECTION OF THE O.T SAINTS ( DAN CH 12 V 2 & ISA CH 26 V 19 -20 ).

(THE RESTORATION ) ( 1 COR CH 15 V 24 - 28 ). CHRIST WILL USE THE 1000YRS TO SET EVERYTHING IN PLACE SO AT THE END HE WILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER THE KINGDOM UP TO THE FATHER AND ETERNITY WILL START. ( PSALMS CH 8 V 6 ).

LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT ( V 29 ) MEANS. NO ONE IS SAVED BY BAPTISM, A PERSON DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED TO BE A CHRISTIAN, BUT HAS TO BE BAPTIZED TO BE An OBEDIENT CHRISTIAN. IN THE EARLY CHURCH A PERSON WHO WAS SAVED WAS ASSUMED TO HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED AND A PERSON WAS NOT BAPTIZED UNLESS THE CHURCH WAS SATISFIED HE WAS SAVED. TO ASK, THEN IF A PERSON WAS BAPTIZED, WAS EQUIVALENT TO ASKING IF HE WAS SAVED.

(V 30 - 32 ). WHAT WOULD BE THE PURPOSE OF SUFFERING FOR CHRIST ID WE WOULD NEVER SEE HIM FACE TO FACE. WHAT ABOUT WINNING OTHER PEOPLE TO THE LORD, SPREADING THE GOSPEL, SUFFERING THRU THIS LIFE, BEING MADE FUN OF, BEING MISERABLE, PAUL SAYS WHAT IS THE USE IF CHRIST BE NOT RAISED.

(V 33 -34 ). LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RESURRECTION SHOULD LEAD US TO MORE GODLY LIVING AND SPIRITUAL MATURITY. PEOPLE WHO THINK WRONGLY BEHAVE WRONGLY. WRONG BEHAVIOR COMES FROM WRONG THINKING, FROM WRONG BELIEF AND WRONG STANDARDS. THOSE WHO BELIEVED IN THE RESURRECTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEADING THOSE WHO DID NOT INTO A TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.( EH CH 4 V 29 & 2 TIM CH 2 V 16 & 17 & ROMANS CH 13 V 11 )

( V 35 ). 2 QUESTION ASKED.
1.HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED?
2.WHAT KIND OF BODY DO THEY HAVE?
PAUL ANSWER THE QUESTION OF V 35 IN 4 DIFFERENT WAYS.
1. HE GIVES An ILLUSTRATION FROM NATURE.
2. HE TELLS WHAT KIND OF BODY RESURRECTED BODIES WILL BE.
3.HE CONTRAST BETWEEN EARTHY AND RESURRECTION BODIES.
4. HE REMINDS THEM OF THE PROTOTYPE RESURRECTION, WHICH WAS CHRIST.

(V 36 -38 ). IN (JOHN CH 12 V 24 ), CHRIST HAD TO DIE FIRST BEFORE HE COULD BEAR THE FRUIT OF SALVATION. WHEN HE DIED HE CEASED TO EXIST AS AN EARTHLY BODY. WHEN HE WAS RAISED HIS BODY WAS RADICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE WHICH DIED. HE WAS NO LONGER LIMITED BY TIME, SPACE, MATERIAL SUBSTANCE. AS WITH THE BODY YOU AND I RECEIVE AT THE RAPTURE. BUT JESUS WAS DIFFERENT AND STILL THE SAME AS BEFORE, HE WAS STILL RECOGNIZED AS JESUS.

( V 39 - 42 ). PAUL SAYS ALL FLESH IN NOT THE SAME FLESH, YOU HAVE THE FLESH OF MAN, BEAST, BIRDS, FISH. THEN HE GOES ON TO THE HEAVENLY BODIES WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE RESURRECTED BODIES AND USE THE SUN, MOON, STARS. RESURRECTED BODIES WILL DIFFER FROM EARTHLY BODIES AND WILL BE AS INDIVIDUAL AND UNIQUE AS ARE ALL THE OTHER FORMS OF GODS CREATION. WILL I HAVE THE SAME BODY SUCH AS I DID HERE ON EARTH WHEN I RECEIVE MY GLORIFIED BODY? yes, BUT IT WILL BE A SPIRITUAL TYPE OF FLESH NOT THIS OLD SIN FLESH. LOOK AT MOSES AND ELIJAH ON THE MT OF TRANSFIGURATION, THEY DID NOT HAVE RESURRECTED BODIES BUT WHERE LIVING IN HEAVEN AS THE SAME PERSON THEY WHERE ON THE EARTH. BUT ONE DAY THEY WILL RECEIVE A SPIRITUAL BODY THAT WILL BE AS UNIQUELY THEIRS AS OUR WILL BE.

( V 42 - 44 ).THE GLORIFIED BODIES WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM OUR EARTHLY BODIES.4 CONTRAST BETWEEN THE 2 BODIES ARE.
1. PERISHABLE/ IMPERISHABLE
2. DISHONOR / GLORY
3. WEAKNESS / POWER
4. NATURAL / SPIRITUAL

(V 45 - 49 ). CHRIST IS THE PROTOTYPE OF THE RESURRECTION. ADAM WAS THE PROTOTYPE OF OUR NATURAL BODIES. CHRIST IS THE PROTOTYPE OF OUR SPIRITUAL BODIES.

(V 50 - 58 ). IN CHRIST THE STING OF DEATH IS TAKEN AWAY, NOT DEATH ITSELF BUT THE STING OF DEATH, THE HURT OF DEATH. THE STING OF DEATH IS SIN, THE HARM IN DEATH IS CAUSED BY SIN, DEATH ITSELF IS CAUSED BY SIN AND THE POWER OF SIN IS THE LAW. GOD LAW REVEALS GODS STANDARDS AND WHEN THEY ARE BROKEN THEY REVEAL MAN SINS.( ROMANS CH 4 V 15 ).
BECAUSE OF JESUS PERFECT OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW (ROMANS CH 5 V 19 ) AND THE SATISFACTION HE MADE FOR ITS VICTIMS, THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE HAVING BEEN RELEASED FROM THE LAW.( ROMANS CH 6 V 14 & CH 7 V 6 ). JESUS HAS BOTH FULFILLED THE LAW AND FULFILLED RIGHTEOUSNESS. BECAUSE HIS LIFE WAS SINLESS AND THEREFORE FULFILLED THE LAW HIS DEATH CONQUERED SIN AND THE GRAVE.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS LESSON, GOD BLESS BRO TIM.

(PREPARE YOUR HEARTS TO WORSHIP)
(1 KINGS CH 8 V 54 - 61 & I KINGS CH 9 V 3 & 4 )

     THEN GOD CAME TO SOLOMON IN (I KINGS CH 9 V 1 - 9 & 2 CHRON CH 7 V 12 - 22 ) AND HE WAS PLEASED WITH WHAT SOLOMON HAD DONE. GOD APPROVED OF WHAT SOLOMON HAD DONE IN ( 1 KINGS CH 9 V 1 - 3 ), IS GOD PLEASED WITH WHAT YOU AND I HAVE DONE FOR HIM THIS WEEK SO WHEN COME INTO HIS TEMPLE (THE CHURCH) HE IS PLEASED WITH US? WHEN YOU AND I HAVE THE DESIRE IN OUR HEARTS LIKE DAVID AND SOLOMON, WE HAVE PURPOSED IN OUR HEARTS THAT WE ARE PREPARING ourselves TO COME INTO GOD TEMPLE AND TO COME AND WORSHIP HIM THEN HE WILL AS HE DID IN ( 2 CHRON CH 7 V 1- 3 ) SEND DOWN THE FIRE (WHICH I BELIEVE IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT) AND HIS GLORY WILL FILL THE CHURCH HOUSE AND THE BELIEVER AND WE WILL AS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN (2 CHRON CH 7 V 3 ) BOW ourselves BEFORE THE LORD AND FALL ON OUR FACES TO THE GROUND AND THEN WE WILL TRULY KNOW WHAT IT IS TO WORSHIP GOD IN CHURCH. LOOK AT (2 CHRON CH 7 V 12 ) IT SAYS GOD CHOSE THAT TEMPLE TO PUT HIS NAME UPON IT FOR A HOUSE OF SACRIFICE, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION HAS GOD DONE THAT AT THE PLACE YOU GO TO CHURCH AT? IF NOT THERE IS A REASON WHY BECAUSE YOU AND I HAVE NOT PREPARED OUR HEARTS TO COME AND WORSHIP GOD, WE HAVE NOT PURPOSED IN OUR HEARTS TO HUMBLE ourselves AND SEEK HIS FACE AND TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS (2 CHRON CH 7 V 14 ) AND UNTIL WE DO THEN THE GLORY OF THE LORD WILL NOT FILL THE CHURCH HOUSE AND WILL NOT FILL YOU THE BELIEVER SO YOU CAN WORSHIP HIM. MY FRIEND WORSHIPPING GOD DOES NOT HAPPEN JUST ON SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY THIS IS SOMETHING WE DO 24/7 AND IT MUST START AT YOUR HOUSE WITH PRAYER AND READING AND STUDYING YOUR BIBLE AND PREPARING YOURSELF TO COME AND BE READY TO WORSHIP GOD. HE SAID WHEN WE DO THIS THEN HE SAID WE WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND HE WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS (2 CHRON CH 7 V 14 ). LOOK WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN WE DO THIS IN (2 CHRON CH 7 V 15 - 17 ), HIS EYES SHALL BE OPEN AND HIS EARS WILL HEAR TO THE PRAYER MADE IN THAT PLACE. BUT GOD TELLS US WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE DO NOT DO THIS AS HE HAS COMMANDED IN (2 CHRON CH 7 V 22 ). IT IS TIME WE QUIT PLAYING AROUND WITH GOD THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU AND I. SOLOMON FOUND THIS OUT LATER WITH HE LET IDIOLITRY COME INTO THE KINGDOM AND WORSHIPED OTHER GODS. THIS WAS THE THING THAT SEPARATED SOLOMON FROM HIS FATHER DAVID, DAVID SINNED AGAINST GOD BUT ALWAYS ASK FORGIVENESS AND DAVID NEVER WORSHIP OTHER GODS BUT THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD, SOLOMON STARTED OUT WITH GOOD INTENTIONS BUT HE GOT AWAY FROM GOD AND A LOT OF US DO THE SAME THING.

     IN CLOSING PURPOSE IN YOUR HEART THIS WEEK AND PREPARE IN YOUR HEART TO WORSHIP GOD AND BE AS THE ARMY SAYS ALL YOU CAN BE FOR GOD. AND THAT'S MEANS DOING SOMETHING FOR GOD EVER DAY OF THE WEEK BY READING , PRAYING ,STUDYING , AND WITNESSES ,BE WHAT YOU CLAIM TO BE , A CHRISTIAN, GOD BLESS BRO TIM.

GOD GIVES A COMMAND TO EVERY BELIEVER ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT CONCERNING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE BELIEVER.
READ ( EPH CH 5 V 18 ).WE ARE TO BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT ALL THE TIME.
IN THE O.T THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKED DIFFERENT THAN HE WORKS IN THE N.T. IN THE O.T HE WORKED AS A COME AND GO MINISTRY , HE WOULD COME DOWN AND AFTER HE DID THE JOB HE WOULD LEAVE ( JUDGES CH 6 V 34 & 1 SAM CH 16 V 14 & JUDGES CH 11 V 29 & PSA CH 51 V 11 ) BUT IN THE N.T HE CAME TO STAY AND INDWELL IN THE BELIEVER. MANY PEOPLE WHERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. PETER( ACTS CH 4 V 8 ) BELIEVERS ( ACTS CH 4 V 31 ) STEPHEN ( ACTS CH 7 V 55 ) PAUL ( ACTS CH 9 V 17 & ACTS CH 13 V 9 ).

THE BIBLE TEACHES THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO BE A EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN AND THAT IS TO BE SPIRIT CONTROLLED ( ZECH CH 4 V 6 ).THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT THE 9 FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT IN ( GAL CH 5 V 22 - 23 ),BUT YOU ANS I AS CHRISTIANS MUST BE SPIRIT CONTROLLED BEFORE WE WILL EVER OBTAIN THIS 9 FRUITS.
1.LOVE --THIS IS THE DIVINE LOVE, AN ATTRIBUTE OF THE INDWELLING GOD ( 1 JOHN CG 4 V 16 & 1 COR CH 13 ).
2.JOY--NOT THE SO-CALLED HAPPINESS OF THE WORLD BUT DEEP, DEEP GLADNESS.( PHIL CH 4 V 4 ).
3.PEACE--THIS IS THE PEACE OF GOD THAT SATISFIES THE SOUL COMPLETELY ( COL CH 3 V 15 ).
4.LONGSUFFERING--( PATIENCE )-THE NATURAL MAN IS IMPATIENT, CHRISTIANS ARE JUST THE OPPOSITE.
5.GENTLENESS--( KINDNESS OR GRACIOUSNESS ) JESUS WAS KNOWN BY HIS GRACIOUSNESS.
6.GOODNESS--( BENEVOLENCE ).THIS VIRTUE MAKES THE CHRISTIAN FULL OF GOOD WORKS.
7.FAITH--( FAITHFULNESS). HE IS DEPENDABLE AND CAN BE RELIED ON AT ALL TIMES.
8.MEEKNESS( MILDNESS OF TEMPER ).HE IS HUMBLE, PARTICULARLY TRUE OF US ( 2 TIMOTHY CH 2 V 25 ).
9.TEMPERANCE ( SELF CONTROL ).MODERATE IN DRINK ,APPETITE ,DRESS ,HABIT, FASHION.

THESE 9 ARE ALL OPPOSITE OR CONTRARY TO THE FILTHY NATURAL WORKS OF THE FLESH. THESE NINE GRACES WERE BEAUTIFULLY PORTRAYED IN CHRIST FOR HE WAS SPIRIT FILLED. SO WE CALL OUR SELF CHRISTIANS DO YOU AND I SEE THESE THING PRESENT IN OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE THAT IS THE QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES?

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS STUDY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD BLESS BRO TIM.

( THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT )
( JOHN CH 20 V 22) ( RECEIVED) & ( ACTS CH 1 V 5) ( BAPTIZED )

THE SPIRIT IS THE POWER OF OUR NEW LIVES. HE BEGINS A LIFELONG PROCESS OF CHANGE AS WE BECOME MORE LIKE CHRIST.( GAL CH 3 V 3 & PHIL CH CH 1 V 6
WHEN WE RECEIVE CHRIST BY FAITH WE BEGIN AN IMMEDIATE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKS IN US TO HELP US BECOME LIKE CHRIST.( JOHN CH 14 V 26 ) SAYS BUT THE COMFORTER, WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS AND BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE, WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU.

THE SPIRIT UNITES THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IN CHRIST( EPH CH 2 V 19 - 22 ).THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE EXPERIENCED BY ALL AND WORKS THRU ALL.( 1 COR CH 12 V 11 & EPH CH 4 V 4 ).DURING JESUS YEARS OF MINISTRY ON EARTH WHEN HE WOULD TALK ABOUT THE KINGDOM THE DISCIPLES  THOUGH HE MEANT A EARTHLY KINGDOM BUT JESUS MEANT THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM THAT WAS TO BE ESTABLISHED IN THE HEARTS OF THE BELIEVERS. WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE BAPTIZING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON PENTECOST THEN THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT JESUS WAS REFERRING TO.

WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN WE ACCEPT CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOUR BUT IT IS UP TO YOU AND I IF WE WANT TO RECEIVE THE BAPTIZING POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. RECEIVING AND BEING BAPTIZED IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS 2 DIFFERENT THINGS. THIS BAPTIZING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WATER. YOU HAVE TO RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD BEFORE YOU CAN BE BAPTIZED WITH THE SPIRIT.( ACTS CH 2 V 41 ).THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKE YOU THE TYPE OF CHRISTIAN YOU ARE. NOW THE QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIANS ARE YOU?

GOD BLESS AND I HOPE THIS HAS ENLIGHTENED YOU ON THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HOW HE SO IMPORTANT TO YOU AND I. GOD BLESS BRO TIM.

( LUKE CH 24 V 16 & JOHN CH 20 V 14 & JOHN CH 21 V 4 )
( THEY KNEW NOT IT WAS JESUS )

1ST LETS LOOK AT MARY MAGDALENE ( JOHN CH 20 V 14 ).MARY HAD WENT TO THE SEPULCHRE BUT SHE DID NOT EXPECT OR DID SHE BELIEVE WHEN SHE GOT THEIR SHE WOULD FIND JESUS GRAVE EMPTY. AFTER SHE TOLD PETER AND JOHN AND THEY ALSO CAME AND LOOKED IN AND SEEING JESUS GONE ,PETER AS DID MARY DID NOT BELIEVE WHAT JESUS HAD TOLD THEM ABOUT HIS RESURRECTION, BUT JOHN DID LOOK AT ( JOHN CH 20 V 8 ).AND LET ME SAY WHY DID JOHN BELIEVE? BECAUSE AT THAT MOMENT JOHN GOT SAVED JUST LIKE YOU AND I DID BECAUSE HE WENT FROM DEALING WITH JESUS IN THE FLESH TO DEALING WITH JESUS IN THE SPIRIT. SALVATION HAD WENT INTO EFFECT WITH THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. ALL OF THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION WHERE NOT SAVED SO THEY HAD TO ACCEPT WHAT HE DID ON THE CROSS JUST AS YOU AND I DID. JOHN IT SAYS IN V 8 THAT HE SAW AND BELIEVED. PETER DID NOT ALONG WITH MARY, BUT MARY TIME WAS CLOSE AT HAND. PETER AND JOHN LEFT AND WENT HOME BUT MARY STOOD OUTSIDE THE GRAVE AND THEN SHE THOUGHT SHE SAW THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TOOK JESUS AWAY BUT IT WAS THE 2 ANGLES IN V 12 AND THEN IN V 14 SHE TURN AROUND AND CAME FACE TO FACE WITH A MAN SHE THOUGH WAS THE GARDENER BUT IS WAS JESUS AND IT SAID SHE KNEW NOT IT WAS JESUS. AND JESUS WHEN HE CALLED TO MARY BY NAME THAT VERY MOMENT I BELIEVE MARY ACCEPTED CHRIST AS HER SAVIOUR, SHE SAID RABBONI WHICH MEANS MASTER. READ ( JOHN CH 10 V 3 ) IT SAYS THE SHEEP HEAR HIS VOICE AND HE CALLETH HIS OWN SHEEP BY NAME AND LEADETH THEM OUT. MARY WAS DEALING ON A FLESHLY LEVEL AND THAT'S IS WHY SHE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS JESUS BUT AS SOON AS JESUS CALLED HER NAME SHE WAS SAVED AND DEALT WITH JESUS IN THE SPIRIT NATURE OF HIS RESURRECTED BODY. AND SHE KNEW HIM.

2ND LETS LOOK AT THE 2 DISCIPLES ON THE EMMAUS ROAD ( LUKE CH 24 V 16 ), IT SAYS THEIR EYES WERE HOLDEN THAT THEY SHOULD NOT KNOW HIM. HERE THESE 2 DISCIPLES WHERE ON THE ROAD HOME FROM JERUSALEM WHICH WAS A 7 MILES WALK AND JESUS APPEARED ON THE ROAD WITH THEM AND WALK WITH THEM AND THEY WHERE TALKING ABOUT JUST WHAT HAD HAPPENED IN JERUSALEM. THEY BELIEVED THAT JESUS WAS A PROPHET ( LOOK AT V 19 ) AND HE WAS GOING TO REDEEM ISRAEL BUT NOW HE WAS DIED AND IT WAS OVER, THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THAT HE WAS THE MESSIAH AND WOULD RAISE IN 3 DAYS, BUT HERE HE WAS WITH THEM WALKING BESIDE OF THEM AND THEY DID NO IT WAS JESUS, SO JESUS USED SOMETHING ON THEM THAT HE USED ON US WHEN WE GOT SAVED ,THE WORD OF GOD ( LOOK IN V 27 ).( HEBREWS CH 4 V 12 )SAYS THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO EDGED SWORD SO JESUS USED THAT ON THEM AND AS THEIR JOURNEY WAS COMING TO A CLOSE THEY ASK JESUS TO COME AND DINE WITH THEM AND THEN JESUS IN V 30 TOOK BREAD AND BLESSED IT AND BRAKE IT AND GAVE TO THEM JUST AS HE HAD AT THE LAST SUPPER AND AT THAT MOMENT A BELIEVE THAT THEY GOT SAVED BECAUSE V 31 TELLS US THEIR EYES WHERE OPENED AND THEY KNEW HIM. THEY WENT FROM FLESHY TO SPIRITUAL AND THEN HE DISAPPEARED OUT OF THEIR SIGHT. BEFORE THIS THEY WHERE HUNGER BUT AFTER THAT IT SAYS THEY HAD A BURNING IN THEIR HEART IN V 32 AND THEY WENT ALL THE WAY BACK FROM EMMAUS TO JERUSALEM TO TELL THE OTHERS WHICH WAS A 7 MILE WALK BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WHERE WALKING I BELIEVE THEY WHERE RUNNING BECAUSE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO THEM AND THEIR MEETING WITH JESUS.

3RD LETS LOOK AT THE 7 AT THE SEA OF TIBERIAS ( JOHN CH 21 V 4 ) BUT BEFORE LET ME SHOW YOU ONE THING ABOUT THE DISCIPLES AND WHEN THEY GOT SAVED LOOK WITH ME IN ( JOHN CH 20 V 22 ).JESUS APPEARS TO THE 10 WITH THOMAS BEING NOT PRESENT AND JESUS BREATHED ON THEM AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THOSE DISCIPLE BESIDE JOHN GOT SAVED AT THAT MOMENT REMEMBER JOHN I BELIEVE GOT SAVED BACK IN V 8 OF THIS CHAPTER. SOME WILL SAY THEY DIDN'T GET SAVED UNTIL PENTECOST BUT ON THAT DAY THEY RECEIVED A BAPTIZMENT OF THE POWER TO GO FORTH AND PREACH AND TEACH THE WORD BUT WHERE SAVED WHEN JESUS BREATHED ON THEM AND THEY RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THEN OF COURSE OLD THOMAS THEN GOT HIS FILLING OF THE SPIRIT 8 DAYS LATER IN ( JOHN CH 20 V 27 & 28 ).

NOW TO THE 7 AT TIBERIAS, HERE IS THE FIRST BACKSLIDDEN CHRISTIANS IN THE N.T. THE DISCIPLES HAD JUST GOT SAVED AND THEN THEY WENT RIGHT BACK TO THEIR OLD FLESHLY WAYS WHEN PETER SAID LETS GO FISHING AND THE REST FOLLOWED RIGHT BEHIND HIM. INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING JESUS THEY WENT FISHING, SOUNDS A LOT LIKE US DON'T IT.! BUT THEY FISHED ALL NIGHT AND CAUGHT NOTHING AND THEN JESUS APPEARED TO THEN THAT MORNING ON THE SHORES AND IN V 4 IT SAYS THEY KNEW NOT IT WAS HIM. WHY DID THEY NOT KNOW IT WAS HIM? BECAUSE THEY WHERE SOWING TO THE FLESH AND NOT TO THE SPIRIT. THE SAME FOR YOU AND I WHEN WE BACKSLIDE ON THE LORD WE DON'T KNOW HIM BECAUSE WE ARE SOWING TO THE FLESH AND NOT TO THE SPIRIT. BUT WHEN JESUS GAVE THEM INSTRUCTION AND THEY FOLLOWED THEM LOOK WHAT HAPPENED, THE SAME FOR US WHEN WE HEED TO GOD INSTRUCTION THEN WE ALSO ARE BLESSED, WE AS PETER ARE ASHAMED WHEN WE REALIZE WE WHERE WRONG. LOOK AT V 12 WE DON'T DARE ASK WHO IT IS BECAUSE WE NO IT IS JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES KNEW IT WAS JESUS AND THEY FOLLOWED JESUS.

MY FRIENDS IT IS TIME YOU AND I GET THAT BURNING IN OUR HEARTS FOR THE WORD OF GOD AND WHEN JESUS COMES OUR WAY WE WILL KNOW THAT IT IS HIM. SO MANY PEOPLE COME FACE TO FACE WITH JESUS AND KNOW NOT IT IS HIM. WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ARE SELF'S.

IN CLOSING LET ME SAY THAT THIS IS HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT GAVE THIS TO ME AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU AND I HOPE YOU GOT THE MESSAGE OF IT. GOD BLESS BRO TIM.

( GODS JUDGMENTS )
(PSALMS CH 19 V 9)

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND GODS JUDGMENTS AND YES THEIR ARE MORE THAN ONE JUDGMENT. THIS IS WHAT THIS STUDY IS ABOUT. THE SCRIPTURES SPEAKS OF 5 SEPARATE JUDGMENTS LETS LOOK AT THEM .EACH JUDGMENT  HAS FIVE DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO THEM AS TO, SUBJECT , TIME , PLACE , BASIS OF JUDGMENT AND RESULT.

JUDGMENT # 1.
1.SUBJECTS---BELIEVERS AS TO SIN
2.TIME---A.D. 30.
3.PLACE---CALVARY
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT---CHRISTS FINISHED WORK
5.RESULT---DEATH AS TO CHRIST & JUSTIFICATION AS TO THE BELIEVER.
THIS JUDGMENT IS PAST THE BIBLE PROOFS OF THE RESULTS OF THIS JUDGMENT ARE FOUND IN ( ROMANS CH 10 V 4 ) &( GAL CH 3 V 13 )& (1 PETER CH 2 V 24).
READ ( JOHN CH 5 V 24) , THE BELIEVERS JUDGMENT FOR SIN THEN IS PAST AND WAS SETTLED AT THE CROSS. SINS ARE THE OUTWARD ACTS OF WRONG-DOING THAT WE COMMIT AS THE RESULT OF OUR TENDENCY TO SIN. THESE SINS MUST BE PUT AWAY DAILY BY CONFESSION. READ ( 1 JOHN CH 2 V 1 & 1 JOHN CH 1 V 9 &) BUT OUR JUDGMENT FOR UNCONFESSED SINS IS CHASTISEMENT. READ ( HEBREWS CH 12 V 5 - 11 & 1 COR CH 11 V 31 & 32 ).

JUDGMENT # 2.
1.SUBJECTS--BELIEVERS AS TO THEIR WORKS.
2.TIME---AFTER THE CHURCH IS RAPTURED OUT.
3.PLACE--AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST ( IN THE AIR ).
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT---THEIR WORKS.
5.RESULT---REWARD OR LOSS.
THIS JUDGMENT IS FUTURE. READ ( 2 COR CH 5 V 10 ).IN THIS CHAPTER THE PRONOUN "WE" OCCURS 26 TIMES AND IT IS DIRECTED TO THE BELIEVER. THE TIME OF THIS JUDGMENT IS WHEN THE LORD COMES ( 1 COR CH 4 V 5 ) AND THE PLACE IS IN THE AIR ( 1 THESS CH 4 V 17 ) AND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST. IT IS NOT A JUDGMENT OF YOUR SINS BUT AS TO YOUR WORKS. READ ( 1 COR CH 9 V 24 -27 ).THIS JUDGMENT IS DESCRIBED IN ( 1 COR CH 3 V 11 - 15 ).THE RESULT OF THIS JUDGMENT IS REWARD OR LOSS. ALL WORKS WILL BE TRIED BY FIRE AND THE WORKS THAT STAND THE FIRE WILL BE REWARDED BUT THE WORKS THAT BURN UP IN THE FIRE YOU WILL SUFFER LOSS. THEIR ARE 5 CROWNS THAT WILL BE HANDED OUT THAT DAY,
1.CROWN OF LIFE---JAMES CH 1 V 12
2.CROWN OF GLORY---1 PETER CH 5 V 2 - 4
3.CROWN OF REJOICING---1 THESS CH 2 V 19 -20
4.CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS---2 TIMOTHY CH 4 V 8
5.CROWN OF INCORRUPTIBLE--1 COR CH 9 V 25 - 27.

JUDGMENT # 3.
1.SUBJECTS--THE JEWS.
2.TIME---THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
3.PLACE---JERUSALEM AND VICINITY.
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT---REJECTION OF THE GODHEAD.
5.RESULTS--THEIR CONVERSION AND RECEPTION OF CHRIST AS THEIR MESSIAH.
THIS JUDGMENT IS FUTURE. IN THE DAYS OF SAMUEL THEY REJECTED GOD THE FATHER( 1 SAM CH 8 V 7 ),IN THE DAYS OF CHRIST THEY REJECTED GOD THE SON( LUKE CH 23 V 18) ,IN THE DAYS OF STEPHEN THEY REJECTED GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT( ACTS CH 7 V 51 & 54- 60 ).FOR THEIR SINS THEIR HAVE BEEN SCATTERED AMONG THE NATIONS UNTIL THE TIME OF THE GENTILES ARE FULFILLED. AT THAT TIME THE JEWS WILL BE GATHERED BACK TO THE HOLY LAND UNCONVERTED AND CAUSED TO PASS UNDER THE ROD ( EZ CH 20 V 34 - 38 ) AND THEY WILL BE CAST INTO GODS MELTING POT ( EZ CH 22 V 19 - 22 ) AND GO THRU THE GREAT TRIBULATION AS DESCRIBE BY JERIAH AND DANIEL ( JER CH 30 V 4 - 7 & DAN CH 12 V 1 ).THE HUMAN AGENT THE LORD WILL USE WILL BE THE ANTICHRIST ( REV CH 15 V 1 & V 5- 8 & CH 16 V 21 ).THE RESULTS OF THESE JUDGMENT WILL BE THAT THE JEWS WILL CALL IN THEIR MISERY UPON THE LORD( ZECH CH 12 V 10 ).THEN CHRIST WILL COME BACK TO THE MT OF OLIVES( ZECH CH 14V 3 )AND THE JEWS WILL LOOK UPON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED ( ZECH CH 12 V 10 ) AND A NATION, THE JEWISH NATION SHALL BE BORN OR CONVERTED IN A DAY ( ISA CH 66 V 8 ).THIS WILL COMPLETE THE JUDGMENT OF THE JEWS.

JUDGMENT # 4.
1.SUBJECTS ---THE NATIONS ( GENTILES ).
2.TIME---THE REVELATION OF CHRIST.
3.PLACE--THETHRONE OF HIS GLORY( ON THE EARTH-VALLEY OF JESOSHAPHAT ).
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT--THEIR TREATMENT OF CHRIST'S BRETHREN-( THE JEWS ).
5.RESULT--SOME NATION SAVED , OTHERS DESTROYED.
THIS JUDGMENT IS FUTURE. READ OF THIS JUDGMENT IN ( MATT CH 25 V 31 - 46 ).
AS THIS IS A JUDGMENT OF NATIONS ONLY THE JEWS CANNOT BE IN IT FIR THEY ARE NOT RECKONED AMONG THE NATIONS.( NUMBER CH 23 V 9 ).THE SHEEP REPRESENTS ONE CLASS OF NATIONS AND THE GOATS ANOTHER CLASS WHILE THE BRETHREN REPRESENTS THE JEWS ( CHRIST BRETHREN ).THE TIME OF THIS JUDGMENT IS WHEN CHRIST COMES TO SET UP HIS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM ON THE EARTH. THE PLACE IS THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT IN THE VICINITY OF JERUSALEM. READ ( JOEL CH 3 V 1 & 2 ).DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD THE NATIONS THAT TREAT JEWISH PEOPLE KINDLY, FEEDING AND CLOTHING THEM AND VISITING THEM IN PRISON WILL BE THE SHEEP NATIONS, WHILE THOSE WHO NEGLECT TO DO SO WILL BE THE GOAT NATIONS.

JUDGMENT # 5.
1.SUBJECTS---THE WICKED DEAD.
2.TIME---DURING THE RENOVATION OF THE EARTH BY FIRE.
3.PLACE--BEFORE THE GREAT WHITE THRONE.
4.BASIS OF JUDGMENT---THEIR WORKS.
5.RESULT--CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
THIS JUDGMENT IS FUTURE. THE ACCOUNT OF THIS JUDGMENT IS FOUND IN ( REV CH 20 V 11 -15 ).IT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE CLOSE OF THE MILLENNIUM A 1000YRS AFTER THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATIONS AND BEFORE THE GREAT WHITE THRONE/THIS JUDGMENT WILL NOT TAKE PLACE ON EARTH BUT WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE RENOVATION OF THE EARTH BY FIRE READ ( 2 PETER CH 3 V 7 ).THE WICKED OR UNGODLY WILL NOT BE JUDGED TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE ENTITLED TO ETERNAL LIFE BUT TO ASCERTAIN THE DEGREE OF THEIR PUNISHMENT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. THEY ARE JUDGED ACCORDING TO WORKS NOT THEIR SIN, THEM BEING THEIR IS THE JUDGMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR REJECTION OF CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR. THEY WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN THE LAKE OF FIRE SEPARATED FROM GOD, MY FRIEND PLEASE DO NOT FIND YOUR SELF AT THIS JUDGMENT, ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR BEFORE IT IS TO LATE.

ROMANS CH 10 V 9 & 10 SAYS---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, V 10 --FOR THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.

GOD BLESS ,BRO TIM PARROTT.

( SPEAKING IN TONGUES )
( 1 CORINTHIANS CH 14 V 1 - 40 )

V1.PAUL EMPHASIZED IN CH 13 FOR THE CORINTHIANS TO PURSUE LOVE. LOVE IS THE GREAT MOTIVATOR, THE ONLY TRUE MOTIVATOR OF GOOD WORKS. IT WASNT WRONG FOR THEM TO WANT GIFTS, BUT THEY WANTED ONLY THE ATTENTION GETTING GIFTS. THE WHOLE CHURCH SHOULD DESIRE THE GIFTS TO BE USED IN THEIR ASSEMBLY FOR GOD.

V2.THE TYPES OF TONGUES THE CORINTHIANS PRACTICED HAD NO EDIFYING VALUE AT ALL. IT COULDN'T SPEAK TO MAN, IT COULD ONLY SPEAK TO A GOD. THE BIBLE RECORDS NO INSTANCES OF BELIEVERS SPEAKING TO GOD IN ANYTHING BUT NORMAL INTELLIGIBLE LANGUAGE. THEIR CONCERN WAS FOR THE EXCITEMENT AND SELF GRATIFICATION OF SPEAKING IN THE SPIRIT. THE MYSTERIES PAUL IS SPEAKING HERE IS ASSOCIATED WITH PAGAN RELIGIONS. SPIRIT HERE IS NOT REFERRING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT TO THE PERSON OWN SPIRIT. PAUL IS NOT ADVOCATING TONGUES BUT SIMPLY CHARACTERIZING THE USELESSNESS OF THEM.

V3.SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING SPIRITUALLY AND PRACTICALLY WORTHWHILE AND ARE MEANT TO BE OF BENEFIT TO OTHERS, BELIEVERS AND NON BELIEVERS.

V4.PAUL IS SAYING THE SATISFACTION MANY OF THE BELIEVERS EXPERIENCED IN THEIR ABUSE OF TONGUES WAS SELF-SATISFACTION, WHICH CAME FROM PRIDE-INDUCED EMOTION, NOT FROM SPIRITUAL EDIFICATION. THE PURPOSE OF GIFTS IS TO MINISTER FOR GOD BUT NOT TO GOD. READ (1 COR CH 12 V 7).GIFTS ARE TO MINISTER TO OTHERS FOR GODS GLORY.

V5.PAUL IS SAYING EVEN A BELIEVER WITH THE GENUINE GIFT OF TONGUES WAS NEVER TO EXERCISE IT UNLESS HE HAS AN INTERPRETER.

V6.TONGUES IN THEMSELVES ARE UNINTELLIGIBLE. PAUL USES HIMSELF AS AN EXAMPLE, ANY MESSAGE IS USELESS IF IT CANNOT BE COMPREHENDED.

V7.FLUTE OR HARPS ARE EXPECTED TO MAKE SENSIBLE SOUNDS. WITHOUT VARIATION OR DISTINCTION OF NOTES THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MAKE ONLY NOISE.

V8.A SOLDIER GETS NO MESSAGE FROM A BUNCH OF RANDOM NOTES, HE ONLY GETS READY FOR BATTLE WHEN CALLS TO ARMS, CHARGE OR OTHERS CALLS ARE PLAYED THAT HE UNDERSTANDS.

V9.THE CORINTHIANS WERE SO CARNALLY-CENTERED THAT ALL THEY CARED ABOUT WAS IMPRESSING OTHERS NOT COMMUNICATION. PAUL COMPARES THEM TO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS BLOWN INTO BY ONE WHO IS NOT A MUSICIAN.

V10.COMMUNICATION IS TO TRANSMIT MEANING AMONG THOSE WHO SPEAK IT.

V11.BACK THEN IF YOU DIDN'T SPEAK GREEK YOU WERE A BARBARIAN.

V12.PAUL SAYS IF YOU ARE SO EAGER TO MINISTER SPIRITUAL GIFTS, MINISTER THEM IN A WAY GOD INTENDED, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHURCH. THE PURPOSE OF THE GIFT OF TONGUES WAS AS THE REST OF THE LANGUAGES SPOKEN, TO COMMUNICATE ONE TO ANOTHER. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES WAS AT PENTECOST. SPEAKING IN TONGUES WAS IN THE FACT THAT EVERYONE PRESENT, THOU FROM MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HEARD THE APOSTLES SPEAK IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE.

V13.PAUL SAYS WHILE SPEAKING IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE YOU COULD AT LEAST ASK GOD TO GIVE YOU SOME MEANS OF MAKING IT BENEFICIAL TO THE CHURCH.

V14.PAUL IS NOT SPEAKING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE IS SPEAKING ENTIRELY OF HIMSELF. HE SAYS IF I AN APOSTLE WERE TO SPEAK THAT GIBBERISH THAT YOU SPEAK, MY MIND WOULD HAVE NO PART IN IT, I WOULD ONLY BE MAKING WIND, BLOWING IN THE AIR.

V15.THEIR IS NO PLACE FOR MINDLESS PRAYER. PRAYING AND SINGING WITH THE SPIRIT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED BY PRAYING AND SINGING WITH THE MIND ALSO. OUR SPIRITUALLY INVOLVES MORE THAN THE MIND BUT IT NEVER EXCLUDES THE MIND. READ ( ROMANS CH 12 V 1 & 2 & EPHESIANS CH 4 V 23 & COL CH 3 V 10 ).

V16.PRAYING AND SINGING IN TONGUES COULD SERVE NO PURPOSE. A PERSON WHO IS UNLEARNED OR UNSKILLED IN A LANGUAGE BEING SPOKEN CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT IN A WORSHIP SERVICE, SO YOU CANNOT SAY AMEN TO SOMETHING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. AMEN MEANS SO LET IT BE. WE HAVE MANY PEOPLE SAYING THAT TODAY AND DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.

V17.PAUL SAYS THE PERSON SPEAKING IN A TONGUE MAY FEEL HE IS GIVING THANKS WELL ENOUGH, BUT NO ONE ELSE WILL KNOW WHAT IS BEING SAID. THE OTHER MAN IS NOT EDIFIED, AS HE SHOULD BE WHEN THE GIFT IS MINISTERED PROPERLY.

V18.PAUL HAD HAD MORE EXPERIENCE THAN ANY OF THE CORINTHIANS IN SPEAKING IN TONGUES. HE KNEW WHAT THE PROPER USE OF THE TRUE GIFT INVOLVED AND DID NOT INVOLVE. PAUL PROBABLY USED IT IN THE WAY IT WAS USED AT PENTECOST TO BRING A SUPERNATURAL MESSAGE TO THOSE GOD WANTED TO REACH AND A SIGN VERIFYING THE GOSPEL.

V19.PAUL KNEW THE GIFTS OF TONGUES WOULD CEASE IN A FEW YEARS AND SAID A SENTENCE OF 5 WORD GIVING A MESSAGE THAT WOULD INSTRUCT OR ENCOURAGE HIS HEARS WAS MORE VALUABLE TO PAUL THAN A LIMITLESS NUMBERS OF WORDS IN A TONGUE THAT WAS INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO THEM.

V20.PAUL SAID BEFORE THEY COULD COMPREHEND WHAT HE WAS SAYING THEY WOULD HAVE TO STOP BEING CHILDREN IN THEIR THINKING.

V21. READ ( ISAIAH CH 28 V 11 -12 ).

V22.THE GIFTS OF TONGUES WAS GIVEN SOLELY AS A SIGH TO UNBELIEVING ISRAEL. THE SIGN WAS THREEFOLD.
1.A SIGN OF CURSING--GOD INDEED SPOKE TO THEM SIMPLY IN ORDER THAT THE LEAST MATURE AMONG THEM COULD UNDERSTAND AND NO ISRAELITE WOULD HAVE AN EXCUSE FOR NOT KNOWING THE LORDS WILL AND PROMISES. THEY DID LISTEN TO GOD, SO WHEN THOSE JEWS HEARD THE APOSTLES SPEAK AT PENTECOST THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOW THAT GODS JUDGMENT WAS IMMINENT. AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM IN AD 70 BY TITUS A ROMAN GENERAL AND THEN AFTER THE TEMPLE THE REASON FOR TONGUES CEASED TO EXIST. AFTER THAT PETER REMINDED HIS HEARERS OF IT IN (ACTS CH 2 V 26.)
2.A SIGN OF BLESSING--THE GIFT OF TONGUES WAS A SIGN THAT GOD WOULD NO LONGER WORK THRU ONE NATION AND FAVOR ONE PEOPLE. READ( GAL CH 3 V 28)
3.A SIGN OF AUTHORITY--IT WAS A SIGN TO AUTHENTICATE THE APOSTLE AND PROPHETS.( 2 COR CH 12 V 12 ).BACK IN V 18 THE MESSAGE GIVEN IN TONGUES WERE NOT NEW REVELATIONS AND NEW INSIGHTS BUT AS AT PENTECOST SIMPLER UNIQUE EXPRESSION OF OLD TRUTHS, THE MIGHTY DEEDS OF GOD. SINCE THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM IN AD 70 THERE HAS BEEN NO PURPOSE FOR THE SIGN GIFT IF TONGUES BECAUSE THAT TO WHICH IT POINTED HAS BEEN REACHED AND PASSED. ISRAEL HAS BEEN SET ASIDE, THE GENTILES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN.

V22.PROPHECY IS GIVING TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND IS NOT GIVEN AS A SIGN POINTING TO SOMETHING ELSE BUT FOR EDIFICATION IN ITSELF. EVEN DURING ITS PROPER TIME IN HISTORY IT COULD BE MISUSES AND BECOME A HINDRANCE TO WORSHIP AND TO EVANGELISM.

V23.PAUL SAYS AN UNBELIEVER, GENTILE OR JEW WOULD GO AWAY FROM SUCH A SERVICE THINKING IT WAS JUST WILD AND MEANINGLESS RITUAL. TONGUES WERE TO BE UNDERSTOOD, NOT TO CAUSE BEWILDERMENT. LOOK AT ACTS CH 2 V 11 WHERE THE JEWS AT PENTECOST UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS SPOKEN IN TONGUES IN THEIR OWN TONGUES.

V24.PROPHECY MEANS SPEAKING FORTH GODS WORD. WHEN GOD WORD IS PROCLAIMED IT SPEAKS TO MEN HEARTS AND BRING CONVICTION OF SIN THEN THE PERSON COMES TO SEE HIMSELF AS HE REALLY IS, HIS SINFUL INTENTIONS AND ACTS ARE REVEALED TO HIM.

V25.PAUL SAYS HE WILL FALL ON HIS FACE AND WORSHIP GOD AND DECLARE THAT GOD IS CERTAINLY AMONG YOU. THE CHURCHES MOST POWERFUL TESTIMONY IS THE PROCLAMATION OF THE POWERFUL WORD OF GOD. READ ( HEBREWS CH 4 V 12 ).WHEN TONGUES WERE MISUSED THERE WAS ONLY CONFUSION, FRUSTRATION AND BEWILDERMENT. UNBELIEVERS WERE REPELLED AND BELIEVERS WERE UN-EDIFIED. BUT PROPHECY EDIFIES BELIEVERS AND EVANGELIZES TO UNBELIEVERS. GOD IS HONORED AND MEN ARE BLESSED.

V26.PSALMS REFERRED TO READING, TEACHING INDICATED A FAVORITE DOCTRINE, OTHER MEMBERS HAD WHAT THEY CLAIMED WAS A NEW REVELATION FROM GOD. OTHERS SPOKE IN A TONGUE, TRUE OR COUNTERFEITED WHILE STILL OTHERS GAVE AN INTERPRETATION. ALL THESE THINGS WERE GOOD AND LEGITIMATE PARTS OF WORSHIP, EXCEPT THEY WERE ALL DONE AT THE SAME TIME. NO ONE COULD BENEFIT FROM SUCH BEDLAM. EDIFICATION MEANS HOUSE BUILDING, IT REFERS TO GROWING, IMPROVING AND MATURING. EDIFICIATION IS THE MAJOR RESPONSIBILITY OF CHURCH LEADERS. READ ( EPH CH 4 V 11 & 12 &
1 THES CH 5 V 11 & ROMANS CH 15 V 2 - 3 ).CHRISTIANS ARE BUILT UP ONLY ONE THING, THE WORD OF GOD.

V27 & 28.PAUL GIVES 4 REGULATIONS FOR THE USE OF TONGUES.
1.ONLY 2 OR 3 PERSONS SHOULD SPEAK.
2.THEY SHOULD SPEAK IN TURN,
3.WHAT THEY SAY SHOULD BE INTERPRETED.
4.IF NO ONE IS PRESENT TO INTERPRET THEY SHOULD NOT SPEAK.

V29.ONLY 2 OR 3 PROPHETS WERE TO SPEAK AT ANY GIVEN SERVICE AND THE OTHER PROPHETS PRESENTS WERE TO PASS JUDGMENT OR EVALUATE THE VALIDITY OF ALL MESSAGE.2 WAYS THEY SPOKE FOR THEN LORD.1.NEW REVELATION FROM GOD TO THE CHURCH,2.PROCLAIMED WHAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REVEALED

30.A NEW REVELATION TOOK PRECEDENCE OVER SOMETHING THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN TAUGHT. IN OTHER WORDS WHEN GOD SPOKE DIRECTLY EVERYONE WAS TO LISTEN. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE INTO DAYS CHURCH BECAUSE THE REVELATION ASPECT OF THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY CEASED WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE N.T.

V31.JUST AS WITH TONGUES THEY WERE TO PROPHESY ONE BY ONE SO THAT ALL MAY LEARN AND ALL MAY BE EXHORTED.

V32.NOT ONLY ARE PROPHETS TO JUDGE THE AUTHENTICITY OF WHAT OTHER PROPHETS SAY BUT EACH PROPHET IS TO HAVE CONTROL OF HIS OWN SPIRIT. THE BIBLE SPEAKS NOTHING OF OUT OF SPIRIT OR OUT OF MIND REVELATIONS.

V33.OUR WORSHIP OF GOD SHOULD REFLECT THE CHARACTER AND NATURE OF GOD. READ ( ROMANS CH 15 V 33 & HEBREWS CH 13 V 20 & 2 THES CH 3 V 16).GOD SPIRIT IS ALWAYS PEACE.

V34.THOUGH IT EMBRACES TONGUES, THE CONTEXT HER REFERS TO PROPHECY. WOMAN ARE NOT TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH MINISTRIES. IN GOD ORDER FOR THE CHURCH WOMEN SHOULD SUBJECT THEMSELVES JUST AS THE LAW ALSO SAYS. ONE OF THE DESIGNS OF CREATION AS WELL AS ONE OF THE PRIMARY CONSEQUENCES OF THE FALL WAS THE SUBMISSION OF WOMEN GEN CH 3 V 16. READ 1 TIM 2 V 11 + 12. PAUL BASED THIS ON 2 FACTS 1: ADAM WAS CREATED FIRST THEN EVE. 2: IT WAS NOT ADAM WHO WAS DECEIVED BUT THE WOMEN. MEN ARE TO LEAD IN LOVE, WOMEN ARE TO SUBMIT IN LOVE. THAT IS GOD DESIGN. WOMEN MAYBE HIGHLY GIFTED TEACHERS+ LEADERS, BUT THOSE GIFTS ARE NOT TO BE EXERCISED OVER MEN IN THE SERVICES OF THE CHURCH. JUST AS GODS SPIRIT CANNOT BE IN CONTROL WHERE THERE IS CONFUSION + CHAOS IN THE CHURCH, HE CANNOT BE IN CONTROL WHERE WOMAN TAKE UPON THEMSELVES ROLES THAT GOD HAS RESTRICTED TO MEN.

V35.A CHRISTIAN HUSBAND SHOULD BE WELL TAUGHT IN GODS WORD. WOMEN ARE TEMPTED TO GO BEYOND THEIR BIBLICAL ROLES BECAUSE THEIR OWN HUSBAND WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLY FOR FULFILL THE LEADERSHIP ASSIGNMENT GOD HAS GIVEN THEM. GOD HAS ESTABLISHED THE PROPER ORDER AND RELATIONSHIP OF MALE AND FEMALE ROLES IN THE CHURCH AND THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRANSGRESS ON IN ANY WAY. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A WOMEN TO SUBSTITUTE FOR A MAN IN SUCH THINGS. GOD HAS LED WOMEN TO DO WORK THAT MEN HAVE REFUSED TO DO, BUT HE DOESN'T LEAD THEM TO ACCOMPLISH THAT WORK THRU ROLES HE HAS RESTRICTED TO MEN. BUT WHEN THE CHURCH COMES TOGETHER AS A BODY TO WORSHIP GOD, HIS STANDARDS ARE CLEAR, THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP IS RESERVED FOR MEN. FOR A WOMEN TO TAKE ON A MANS ROLE BECAUSE HE HAS NEGLECTED IT MERELY COMPOUNDS THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MANY TIME IN INFORMAL MEETING AND BIBLE STUDY WHERE IT IS ENTIRELY PROPER FOR MEN AND WOMEN TO SHARE EQUALLY IN QUESTIONS AND INSIGHTS.

V36.PAUL TELLS THEM IN EFFECT, IF YOU DIDN'T WRITE SCRIPTURE, THEN OBEY IT.NO BELIEVER HAS A RIGHT TO OVERRULE, IGNORE ALTER OR DISOBEY THE WORD OF GOD. TO DO SO PUT ONESELF ABOVE GOD.

V37.HE SAYS IF A PERSON IS TRULY CALLED OF GOD AND IS SINCERELY TRYING TO FOLLOW GOD HE WILL SUBMIT THE EXERCISE OF HIS CALLING TO THE PRINCIPLES GOD HAS REVEALED TO ME AS HIS COMMANDMENT.

V38.PAUL SAYS TO US THAT ANYONE WHO DISREGARDS THE WORD SHOULD HIMSELF BE DISREGARED. THE SIGN OF A FALSE PROPHET OR A COUNTERFEITER OF TONGUES WAS ONE WHO REJECTED OF WHAT PAUL TAUGHT, GOD WORD.

V39& 40.PAUL TELLS THEM TO HOLD PROPHECY IN THE SUPERIOR POSITION IN THEIR SERVICES, BUT NOT TO DESPISE OR REJECT LEGITIMATE SPEAKING IN TONGUES. BUT WHATEVER THEY DID IN THE LORDS NAME SHOULD BE DONE IN THE RIGHT WAY. PAUL TOLD THEM PROPHECY IS THE GREAT EDIFIER THE GREAT INSTRUCTOR AND TEACHER. PROPHECY IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE EDIFICATION IS SO IMPORTANT. BUT ALTHOUGH SECONDARY TO PROPHECY, LEGITIMATE TONGUES THAT ARE LEGITIMATELY EXERCISED SHOULD ALSO BE RECOGNIZED AS OF THE LORD AND SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN. DECENTLY MEANS PROPERLY WHICH MEANS GRACEFULLY OR BEAUTIFULLY. ORDERLY HAS THE MEANING OF IN TIME OR ONE AT A TIME.

SO DO I BELIEVE IN SPEAKING IN TONGUES TODAY. NO I DO NOT,
SO DO I BELIEVE IN PROPHECY TODAY. NO I DO NOT.
THESE WHERE SIGN GIFTS GIVEN TO THE APOSTLE SO THAT UNBELIEVERS WOULD COME TO KNOW CHRIST AND THESE GIFT CEASED BACK IN PAULS DAYS OR AROUND AD 70 WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF TEMPLE.
DO I BELIEVE THE MAN IS THE HEAD OF THE WOMEN. YES I DO
DO I BELIEVE WOMEN SHOULD REMAIN QUITE IN THE WORSHIP OF GOD IN THE CHURCH. YES I DO WHY BECAUSE GODS WORD SAYS SO.
DO I BELIEVE CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE MAN. YES I DO.

GOD BLESS BRO TIM.

CHRIST LAST 24 HOURS ON EARTH

( NOTE HERE ):THE TIME LINE WE ARE USING HERE IS BASED ON JEWISH TIME WHICH IS FROM 6 PM TO 6 AM. THEY HAD 12 HOURS OF NIGHT AND 12 HOURS OF DAYLIGHT. THIS TIME LINE DETAILS JESUS LAST 24 HOURS ON EARTH AND IS BASED ON THE JEWISH TIME LINE.

(24 HOURS BEFORE HIS DEATH)( THURSDAY)

6 PM-- ( MATTHEW CH 26 V 31 - 35 )-- HE TELLS PETER WITHIN 12 HRS HE WILL DENY HIM 3 TIMES BEFORE THE COCK CROWS. THIS TAKES PLACE RIGHT AFTER THE LAST SUPPER.

BETWEEN 6 PM AND 11 PM-- ( JOHN CH 15 V 1 - 14 -- JESUS AT SOME POINT LEAVES THE MOUNT OF OLIVES WITH THE DISCIPLES AND ON HIS WAY TO THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE. GIVES HE'S GREAT SPEECH ABOUT THE VINE AND THE BRANCHES.

11 PM TO 4 AM--( MATTHEW CH 26 V 36 - 46 )-- AS JESUS ARRIVES AT THE GARDEN
HE TAKES WITH HIM PETER, JAMES , JOHN AND GOES ABOUT A STONE THROW AWAY AND LEAVES THE OTHER DISCIPLES BEHIND. HE TELLS PETER , JAMES , JOHN TO STAY AND WATCH AND PRAY WHILE HE WENT INTO THE GARDEN FATHER. HE COMES BACK ON 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AND FINDS THEM ASLEEP. SO WE SEE THAT THEY DIDN"T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE SPEECH HE GAVE ON THE WAY TO THE GARDEN.

4 AM--( MATTHEW CH 26 V 47 - 56 )-- JUDAS ARRIVES AT THE GARDEN WITH THE SOLDIERS TO ARREST JESUS AND BETRAYS JESUS WITH A KISS.

5 AM-- ( MATTHEW CH 26 V 57 - 68 )-- THE SOLDIERS LEAD JESUS AWAY AND HE APPEARS BEFORE CAIAPHAS AND THE SANHEDRIN COURT.

6 AM-- ( MATTHEW CH 26 V 69 - 75 )-- JESUS PROMISE TO PETER COMES TRUE THAT HE WOULD DENY HIM 3 TIMES BEFORE THE COCK CROWED AT MORNING.

6 AM-- ( LUKE CH 23 V 1 - 5 )-- JESUS APPEARS BEFORE PILATE FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE 2.

7 AM--( LUKE 23 V 6 - 12 & MATTHEW CH 27 V 1 -2 )-- PILATE SENDS JESUS BEFORE KING HEROD AND THEY MOCK HIM AND SEND HIM BACK TO PILATE FOR THE SECOND TIME.

8 AM-- ( MATTHEW CH 27 V 11 - 26 )-- JESUS APPEARS BEFORE PILATE AND PILATE ASK THE QUESTION, WHAT SHALL I DO THEN WITH JESUS WHICH IS CALLED CHRIST? THE HE RELEASES BARABBAS TO THE PEOPLE.

8:30 AM--( MATTHEW CH 27 V 27 - 32 -- JESUS WAS SENTENCED TO BE CRUCFIED AND ORDERS WHERE GIVEN FOR THE ROMAN SOLDIERS TO TAKE JESUS INTO THE COMMON HALL WHERE HE WAS STRIPPED, BEATEN, SPAT UPON, HAD A CROWN OF THORNS PUT UPON HIS HEAD, MOCKED, MADE FUN OF AND THEN LEAD AWAY TO BE CRUCIFIED.

9 AM--( MATTHEW CH 27 V 33 - 44 )-- JESUS ARRIVES AT GOLGOTHA WHICH IS CALLED THE PLACE OF THE SKULLS. JESUS WAS PLACED ON THE CROSS AND HUNG BETWEEN 2 THIEVES FOR 3 HOURS.

12 PM TO 3 PM- -( MATTHEW CH 27 V 45 )-- AFTER 3 HOURS HANGING ON THE CROSS DARKNESS FALLS OVER THE LAND BECAUSE AT THIS VERY MOMENT WAS WHEN THE SINS OF THE ENTIRE WORLD CAME UPON HIM AND GOD THE FATHER LOOKED AWAY AND TURNED HIS BACK ON HIS SON.

3 PM--( MATTHEW CH 27 V 46 - 50 )-- AT THE NINTH HOUR OR 3 PM OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR YIELDED UP THE GHOST BUT NOTICE HE CHOSE WHEN TO DIE. JOHN CH 10 V 18 SAYS NO MAN TAKETH IT FROM ME BUT I LAY IT DOWN OF MYSELF.

3 PM TO 6 PM--( MATTHEW CH 27 V 57 - 66 & JOHN CH 19 V 31 )-- BETWEEN THOSE LAST 3 HOURS THE JEWS WENT TO PILATE SO THEY COULD GO AND BREAK THE LEGS OF JESUS AND THE 2 THIEVES. SEE AT 6 PM IT WAS THE START OF A NEW DAY WHICH WAS GOING TO BE THE SABBATH AND JEWISH LAW ( DEUT CH 21 V 22 - 23 ) FORBID THE BODIES TO STILL BE ON THE CROSSES AT 6 PM. THEY WENT TO THE 2 THIEVES AND BROKE THEIR LEGS BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS TO ( JOHN CH 19 V 36 ) BREAK HIS LEGS HE WAS ALREADY DEAD AND THIS FULFILLED
THE O.T. PROPHECY FOUND IN ( EX CH 12 V 46 & NUM CH 9 V 12 & PSALMS CH 34 V 20 ).THEN JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA WENT TO PILATE AND ASKED IF HE COULD TAKE JESUS FROM THE CROSS AND PREPARE HIM TO BE BURIED AND NICODEMUS HELPED HIM PREPARE JESUS TO BE BURIED ( LUKE CH 23 V 50 - 55 & JOHN CH 19 V 38 - 42 ).THE TOMB WAS JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEAS AND THAT WAS WHERE THEY LAID JESUS BODY. YOU NOTICE THAT NICODEMUS WAS THEIR SO WE SEE THAT SOME WHERE HE DID ACCEPT CHRIST OFFER FROM BACK IN JOHN CH 3 WHEN HE TOLD HIM HE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.

SO YOU MIGHT BE ASKING YOURSELF THIS QUESTION, BRO TIM WHAT DOES ALL THIS TIMELINE HAVE TO DO WITH ME? WELL YOU CAN NOW SEE WHAT JESUS WENT THRU IN HIS LAST 24 HOURS ON EARTH FOR YOU AND THE QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK OUR SELF IS THIS,

WHAT HAVE I DONE FOR JESUS
 IN THE LAST 24 HOURS OF MY LIFE
( THINK ABOUT THAT ).

I HOPE YOU GET THE POINT THAT I AM TRYING TO MAKE, GOD BLESS YOU ,BRO TIM PARROTT.

• 7..JOHN CH 5 V 25 SAYS,VERILY VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU,THE HOUR IS COMING AND NOW IS, WHEN THE DEAD SHALL HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SON OF GOD AND THEY THAT HEAR SHALL LIVE.READ ( EPHESIANS CH 2 V 1 ),THIS IS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU HEAR GOD WORD YOU WILL BE CHANGE FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE,IT IS SO IMORTANT THAT YOU HEAR GODS WORD,WITH OUT IT YOU CANNOT BE SAVED.

  WE MUST DIE OUT TO THIS WORLD AND WHEN WE DO THEN WE CAN BRING FORTH FRUIT.WE ARE NOT TO BE PART OF THIS WORLD,THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG TODAY IS THAT WE HAVE TO MANT CHRISTIANS WHO STILL WONT WHAT THIS WORLD HAS AND MY FRIEND IF THAT IS YOU ,THEN GET YOUR HEART RIGHT WITH GOD THRU HIS WORD.
• 18.JOHN CH 13 V 16 SAYS,VERILY VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU,THE SERVANT IS NOT GREATER THAN HIS LORD,NEITHER HE THAT IS SENT GREATER THAN HE THAT SENT HIM.THIS MAKE ME THINK OF THE VERSE WHEN JESUS SAID HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS( YOU AND I ) WHAT A AWSOME STATMENT.GOD LOVES US JUST AS HE LOVED HIS SON,THAT IS AWSOME,THINK ABOUT THAT.THEY ARE ONE JUST AS YOU AND I ARE ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.( THE WORD ).

• 22.JOHN CH 14 V 12 SAYS,VERILY VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU,HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME ,THE WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO ALSO,AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL HE DO,BECAUSE I GO UNTO MY FATHER.WHAT WAS CHRIST WORK HERE ON THE EARTH?TO SPREAD GOD WORD TO THE LOST AND HE SAID YOU AND I WHERE TO DO MORE THAN HIM BECAUSE HE LEFT AND GOD SENT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP US AND TO GUIDE US,READ ( JOHN CH 16 V 13 - 15).
• 23..JOHN CH 16 V 20 SAYS,VERILY VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU ,THAT YE SHALL WEEP AND LAMENT BUT THE WORLD SHALL REJOICE AND YE SHALL BE SORROWFUL,BUT YOUR SORROW SHALL BE TURNED INTO JOY.THERE IS COMING A DAY WHEN JESUS WILL RETURN AND GET THE CHURCH,WE WILL SUFFER PERSCUTION AS LONG AS WE ARE HERE AND THE WORLD WILL MAKE FUN AND LAUGH AT US BUT THRU CHRIST ONE DAY ALL THE SORROW AND HARDACHES WE GO THRU WILL BE TURNED INTO JOY AS HE SAYS IN ( REV CH 21 V 5 ) BEHOLD I WILL MAKE ALL THINGS NEW WHAT I GREAT DAY THAT WILL BE.
• 24.JOHN CH 16 V 23 SAYS,AND IN THAT DAY YE SHALL ASK ME NOTHING,VERILY VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU,WHATSOEVER YE ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME HE WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.THE DAY WHEN ALL OF OUR SORROW WILL BE TURNED INTO JOY,WHAT A AWSOME DAT THAT WILL BE

  JESUS WAS TELLING PETER HE WOULD BE A MARTYER AND DIE A MARTYERS DEATH BECAUSE OF WHAT HE STOOD UPON.IN OTHER WORD I BELIEVE HE IS TELLING HIM THIS, MY WORD HAS BROUGHT YOU THIS FAR AND IT WILL TAKE YOU THRU TO GLORY, HIS WORD IS CHRIST JESUS AND NY FRIEND HE WILL TAKE ALL THAT ACCEPT HIM ALL THE WAY TO THE FATHER IN HEAVEN AND THE DEVIL CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

HERE ARE SOME AWESOME FACTS 
ABOUT GOD WONDERFUL WORD

• THE BIBLE HAS 66 BOOKS
• 1189 CHAPTERS
• 31,102 VERSES
• 773,693 WORDS
• THE LONGEST CHAPTER---PSALMS 119,WHICH BY THE WAY HAS 176 VERSES IN IT AND IF YOU TAKE 16 X 11 IT COMES UP TO 176.KJV WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1611.
• SHORTEST CHAPTER --PSALMS 117
• LONGEST VERSE IN THE BIBLE--ESTER CH 8 V 9
• SHORTEST VERSE--JOHN CH 11 V 35
• LONGEST WORD IN THE BIBLE---ISAIAH CH 8 V 1
• CENTER OF THE BIBLE---PSALMS CH 118 V 8
  THERE IS 594 CHAPTERS BEFORE PSALMS 118 AND 594 CHAPTERS AFTER PSALMS CH 118,WHICH IF YOU ADD THAT UP IT COME TO 1188 WHICH IS PSALMS CH 118 V 8.
• THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN IN HEBREW
• THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN IN GREEK
• THE BIBLE WAS THE FIRST BOOK EVER PRINTED ON A PRESS IN 1450.THE FIRST AMERICAN PRINTING WAS IN AN INDIAN LANGUAGE IN 1663.

HISTORY OF THE BIBLE

• THERE WHERE MANY PARTS OF THE BIBLE IN THE EARLY DAYS, BUT THE FIRST ONE TO TO HAVE BOTH OT AND NT WRITTINGS WAS IN 1380 BY JOHN WYCLIFFE.
• THEN AFTER WYCLIFFE THE NEXT PERSON WHO PRINTED N.T IN ENGLISH WAS WILLIAM TYNDALE IN 1525.
  
• THE FIRST ENGLISH O.T AND N.T BIBLE WAS PRINTED BY MILES COVERDALE IN 1535.
• IN 1537 THOMAS MATTHEW PRINTED THE O.T AND N.T IN ENGLAND BY PERMISSION OF THE KING.
• IN 1557 WILLIAM WITTINGHAM PRODUCES THE GENEVAN BIBLE.
• THEN THE CHURCH OF ROME PRODUCES THE RHEIMS AND DOUAI VERSION BETWEEN 1582 AND 1610.
• THEN IN 1607 KING JAMES NOMINATED 54 OF THE BEST HEBREW AND GREEK SCHOLARS. THEY WHERE DIVIDED INTO 6 GROUPS,2 GROUPS MET AT OXFORD,2 AT CAMBRIDGE AND 2 AT WESTMINSTER. WHEN FINISHED THE WORK WAS PRESENTED TO 2 MEM FROM EACH GROUP WHO SPENT 2 YRS AND 9 MONTHS TO FINISHED AND MAGINAL NOTES WERE USED TO EXPLAIN HEBREW AND GREEK WORDS AND TO DRAW ATTENTION TO PARALLEL PASSAGES. ITALICS WERE USED FOR WORDS NOT FOUND IN THE ORIGINAL TEXT BUT NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE SENTENCE. AFTER ALL THAT WAS DONE THEN IT WAS GIVEN TO KING JAMES AND IT IS THE KJV WE HAVE WITH US TODAY. IT IS THE ONLY BIBLE THAT I WILL USE
  AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE CLOSEST THING WE HAVE FOR GOD TRUE WORD.

HERE IS A LIST OF 10 THING YOU NEED
 TO HELP YOU STUDY GODS WORD.

• 1.GET A KING JAMES VERSION BIBLE.
• 2.DEVELOPE A REGULAR READING HABIT. BY READING IT REGULARLY WE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ITS VOCABULARY, ITS CHARACTERS, SPECIAL VERSES, ITS PROMISES, ITS DOCTRINAL TRUTHS, IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT GODS WILL FOR YOU.
• 3.TAKE YOUR BIBLE WITH YOU OR HAVE MORE THAN ONE BIBLE SO YOU CAN READ IT WHENEVER YOU GET A CHANCE.
• 4.PRAY FOR WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING( JAMES CH 1 V 5 AND 1 JOHN CH 2 V 27).WHEN IS THE LAST TIME WE HAVE ASH GOD FOR THIS.
• 5.TO KEEP YOUR SINS CONFESSED.( I JOHN CH 1 V 9 ).WE NEED TO KEEP OUR LIVES CLEAN SO THAT GOD CAN POUR OUT HID TRUTH INTO A CLEAN VESSEL. GOD CANNOT USE A UNCLEAN VESSEL( PSALMS CH 66 V 18 ).
• 6.ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAYS. GOD IS GOD AND HE CANNOT LIE, SO TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD AND BE BLESSED.
• 7.MAKE IT A HABIT TO MAKE YOUR BIBLE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED THRU THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. WRITE SCRIPTURES DOWN SO YOU WILL HAVE THEM WHEN YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THEM AGAIN.
• 8.START YOUR OWN LIBRARY.
  GET YOU A STRONGS CONCORDANCE
  GET YOU A GOOD COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE BY GIFTED MEN OF GOD.
  BIBLE DICTIONARIES
  FRANKIN HOLY BIBLE-KJV, THIS WAY YOU CAN HAVE GODS WORD WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES. (NOTE). ALL THESE THINGS WILL HELP BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT
  WE ARE TO LET THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD AND GUIDE US IN ALL THINGS PERTAINING TO GODS WORD.( JOHN CH 16 V 13 - 15 ).
• 9.BE THANKFUL TO GOD FOR WHAT YOU LEARN THRU THE HOLY SPIRIT( I THESS CH 5 V 18 AND ROMANS CH 1 V 21 ).
• 10.THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OUT OF ALL THESE.
  APPLY WHAT YOU LEARN ( JAMES CH 1 V 22 ).WE ARE TO BE DOERS OF THE WORD AFTER WE HAVE HEARD IT OR LEARNED IT. A SPONGE THAT ONLY SOAKS UP WATER WILL BECOME ( SOUR ) DON'T BE A SOUR CHRISTIAN. GOD TEACHES UP HIS WORD BECAUSE HE DESIRES US TO USE IT IN HIS SERVICE. HE FEEDS US THAT WE MAY BE STRONG AND HEALTHY FOR THE BATTLES THAT WE WILL HAVE TO FIGHT. SHOW ME A WEAK CHRISTIAN AND I WILL SHOW YOU A CHRISTIAN WHO DOES NOT READ THERE BIBLE.

4 REASON WHY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND GODS WORD.

• 1.SOME DON'T BELIEVE IT.( HEBREWS CH 11 V 6 ).
• 2.SOME LACK A DESIRE TO LEARN.( I PETER CH 2 V 2 ).
• 3.SOME ARE TO LAZY TO STUDY.( 2 TIMOTHY CH 2 V 15 ).
• 4.SOME ARE LOST. ( 1 COR CH 2 V 14 ).

•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
•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
• (THE CHURCH AT PERGAMOS) ( THE MUSTARD SEED) REV CH 2 V 12 -17 & MATTHEW CH 13 V 45 & 46. THIS CHURCH WAS A CHURCH THAT HAD BECOME PART OF THE WORLD INSTEAD OF SEPARATING IT, S. SELF FROM THE WORLD. THEY HAD LET 2 FALSE DOCTRINE COME INTO THEIR CHURCH (THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANES AND THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM). HERE WE SEE THE PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEED WHEN GROWN WOULD BE THE LEAST OF ALL HERBS AND BECAME A STRONG TREE, BUT THIS CHURCH INSTEAD OF BEEN A STRONG REFUGE FOR THE WORLD HAD LET FALSE DOCTRINE COME INTO IT. THE WAY A LOT OF OUR CHURCHES TODAY HAVE BECOME AND THIS WAS VERY UNPLEASING TO GOD.
• (THE CHURCH AT THYATIRA) ( THE LEAVEN) REV CH 2 V 18 - 29 & MATTHEW CH 13 V 33 - 35. THIS CHURCH JESUS LAYS EMPHASIS ON THEIR WORKS AS IF THEY DEPENDED ON THEM AND CLAIMED THEY DESERVED MERIT FOR THEIR WORKS. THIS IS WHERE THE PAPAL CHURCH CAME INTO BEING, IT SUFFERED A WOMEN TO COME INTO THE CHURCH AND CALL HERSELF A PROPHETESS AND TO TEACH AND LEAD THE PEOPLE ASTRAY AND INTRODUCED IMAGES AND PICTURES FOR PEOPLE TO BOW DOWN TO AND WORSHIP THEM AND BECOME IDOLATROUS. THEN WE SE IN OUR PARABLE IN MATTHEW CH 13 V 33 - 35 THAT A WOMEN BROUGHT IN LEAVEN AND HID IT IN THE MEAL UNTIL THE WHOLE MEAL WAS LEAVENED. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IN OUR CHURCH'S, WE ARE LETTING SATAN BRING IN PARTS OF THE WORLD A LITTLE AT A TIME UNTIL HE HAD GOTTEN THE CHURCH AWAY FROM THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF GODS WORD. THIS IS ONE REASON I DO NOT BELIEVE IN WOMAN PREACHERS IN OUR CHURCHES TODAY AND I BELIEVE THAT IS THE WAY GOD SAY IT SHOULD BE. WE NEED TO FOLLOW GODS WORD AND PUT THE REST OF THIS JUNK SATAN TRY TO BRING INTO OUR CHURCHES BACK OUT IN THE WORLD AND STAND UP FOR GOD.
• (THE CHURCH AT SARDIS) (HIDDEN TREASURE) REV CH 3 V 1- 6 & MATTHEW CH 13 V 44. THIS CHURCH WAS CALLED A DEAD CHURCH.? WHY BECAUSE THEY HAD THE GREATEST TREASURE THAT ONE COULD EVER WANT OR NEED WHICH WAS JESUS CHRIST. THEY HAD BECOME A FORMALISTIC CHURCH A CHURCH GIVEN OVER TO FORMAL OR RITUALISTIC WORSHIP. IT HAD THE FORM OF GODLINESS WITHOUT THE POWER, DOES THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF CHURCHES TODAY. THIS WAS A POWERLESS CHURCH. EVEN THOU IT HAD THE MOST AWESOME POWER THEIR AND IT WAS NOT USING IT. THERE WAS THOSE THAT TRIED TO REFORM THE CHURCH BUT STILL COULD NOT RECOVER THE PROMISE AND POWER OF GOD. AS WITH OUR PARABLE IN MATTHEW CH 13 V 14 THIS WAS A TIME WHEN WE SEE THE SINNER SEEKING CHRIST AND GOING FORTH IN JOY AND SELLING ALL HE HAS FOR JESUS.
  THIS IS THE TIME WE SEE THE SPLIT BETWEEN THE PAPAL CHURCH AND THE GREEK CHURCHES THEN THE COMING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCHES, THE BAPTIST, THE PRESBYTERIAN, THE LUTHERANS , THE METHODISM AND THE PROTESTANTS CHURCHES. ALL THIS CAME ABOUT FROM 1523 TO 1791.EVERBODY WAS DOING EVERYTHING BUT FOLLOWING GOD.
• (THE CHURCH AT PHILADELPHIA) ( THE PEARL) REV CH 3 V 7 -13 & MATTHEW CH 13 V 45 & 46. THIS WAS THE TRUE PROFESSING CHURCH AND WAS TRYING TO DO WHAT GOD HAD INSTRUCTED. 3 THINGS SAID OF THIS CHURCH, IT HAD LITTLE STRENGTH, IT WAS LIKE A PERSON COMING BACK TO LIFE WHO WAS STILL VERY WEAK, IT HAD A OPEN DOOR SET BEFORE IT THAT NO MAN COULD SHUT, AND IT WAS TO BE KEPT FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION. THIS WAS A EVANGELISTIC AND MISSIONARY CHURCH. THESE PEOPLE WHERE ABOUT THE FATHER BUSINESS. THEY WERE GROWING DAILY IN STRENGTH IN CHRIST AND GOING OUT IN THE WORLD AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE LORD. IN OUR PARABLE IN MATTHEW CH 13 V 45 & 46 WE SEE JESUS LOOKING FOR THE PEARL WHO IS THE CHURCH AND THEN PAYING FOR IT THRU THE DEATH OF THE CROSS. THE PEARL WAS THE CHURCH AND THEY ARE BUT A FEW PEARLS AROUND IN WORLD TODAY.
• (THE CHURCH AT LAODICEA ) ( THE DRAGNET) REV CH 3 V 14 - 22 &MATTHEW CH 13 V 47 - 50. THIS CHURCH WAS LUKEWARM AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO GOD. HE SAID HE WOULD RATHER HAVE A CHURCH THAT IS HOT OR COLD AND NOT LUKEWARM. OUR CHURCH TODAY ARE MOSTLY IN THIS POSITION. WHAT CAUSES THIS IS SELF-DECEPTION. OUTWARDLY THEY WERE RICH BUT CHRIST SAW THEY WERE WRETCHED, MISERABLE, POOR AND BLIND AND NAKED. A LOT OF OUR CHURCH ARE LIKE THIS TODAY THEY HAVE MONEY BUT THEY ARE SPIRITUAL DEAD .THE WORLD IS NOT TO BE CONVERTED BY MONEY BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND OUR CHURCHES TODAY NEED A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF GOD WORD AND NEED TO PREACH AND TEACH IT. THIS CHURCH WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR WORLDLY PROSPERITY THAN AS TO THEIR HEAVENLY GAINS THRU THE USE OF GODS WORD. AS TO OUR PARABLE IN MATTHEW CH 13 V 47 - 50 WE SEE THE DRAGNET WAS CAST INTO THE SEA AND IT BROUGHT IN ALL KINDS OF THINGS AND THE GOOD THEY KEEP AND THE BAD THEY THREW AWAY. SO SHALL IT BE WHEN JESUS SAID I WILL SPUE YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH, HE WILL ONLY PUT UP WITH THIS STUFF FOR SO LONG AND HE WILL BRING JUDGMENT ON THE THOSE WHO DO WICKEDNESS. HE SAID BEHOLD I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK, THIS IS ADDRESSED TO THE CHURCHES WHO AT ONE TIME JESUS STOOD IN THE MIDST OF THEM AND NOW FINDS HIMSELF EXCLUDED AND STANDING OUTSIDE LOOKING IN. THE CHURCH TODAY IS BRINGING IN EVERYTHING FROM THE WORLD AND SAYING IT IS all right AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO GOD. LETS STAND ON GOD WORD AND PUT CHRIST WHERE HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE AS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.

THESE 7 CHURCHES WERE AS THE FOLLOWING SAYS.

1. EPHESUS WAS PRE-OCCUPIED
2. SMYRNA WAS PERSECUTED
3. PERGAMOS WAS LAX
4. THYATIRA WAS NEGLECTFUL
5. SARDIS WAS POWERLESS
6. PHILADELPHIA WAS PERSEVERING
7. LAODICEA WAS LUKEWARM

THE FIRST 3 CHURCHES HAVE PASSED OFF THE PAGES OF HISTORY BUT THE LAST 4 CHURCHES ARE CHURCHES WE HAVE TODAY IN OUR WORLD. GOD BLESS I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS LESSON.

OUR FAITH IN GOD
(ACTS CH 12 V 1 - 16)

IN CLOSING WHEN WE READ OUR TEXT SCRIPTURE IN ACTS CH 12 ABOUT PETER BEING DELIVERED FROM PRISON THE VERY PEOPLE THAT WAS PRAYING FOR HIS RELEASE DIDN'T BELIEVE WHEN THE DAMSEL RHODA CAME AND TOLD THEM HE WAS AT THE DOOR KNOCKING. BUT SHE CONSTANTLY AFFIRMED THAT IT WAS PETER AND WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED UP IT SAYS THEY WHERE ASTONISHED. GOD IS DOING THE SAME THING FOR US TELLING US IF WE BELIEVED IN FAITH AND CHRIST JESUS THAT HE WILL DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO AND STEP UP TO THE DOOR AND OPEN IT AND WALK THRU IT WE TO WOULD BE ASTONISHED AT WHAT GOD WOULD DO FOR OUR CHURCH. SO ARE WE GOING TO BELIEVE OR ARE WE GOING TO SHUT THE DOOR IN GODS FACE ONE MORE TIME. IT UP TO US, YOU DECIDE, GOD BLESS BRO TIM.

A PICTURE OF CHRIST
(LEVITICUS CH 1 V 1 - 17)

THE BURNT OFFERING:

• 1. IT TYPIFIES CHRIST OFFERING HIMSELF WITHOUT SPOT TO GOD IN DELIGHT TO DO HIS FATHER WILL TO THE DEATH.
• 2. IT IS ATONING BECAUSE THE BELIEVER HAS NOT HAD THIS DELIGHT IN THE WILL OF GOD.
• 3. IT WAS SUBSTITUTIONARY.
• 4. BECAUSE CHRIST DID IT IN THE SINNERS STED(PLACE). IT WAS A BURNT SACRIFICE, IT WAS VOLUNTARY, IT WOULD BE ACCEPTED OF GOD, IT WAS An ATONEMENT FOR SIN.

THERE WHERE 5 CREATURES THAT WHERE ACCEPTABLE FOR THE SACRIFICES TO GOD.

• 1.THE BULLOCK OR OX--WHICH TYPFIES CHRIST AS THE PATIENT AND ENDURING SERVANT,OBEDIENT UNTO DEATH.( 1 COR CH 9 V 9 & 10 , HEBREWS CH 12 V 2 & 3 ,
  ISA CH 52 V 13 -15 , PHILIPPIANS CH 2 V 5-8 ).
• 2.THE SHEEP OR LAMB--WHICH TYPIFIES CHRIST IN UNRESTING SELF SURRENDER TO THE DEATH ON THE CROSS.( ISA CH 53 V 7 , ACTS CH 8 V 32-35 ).
• 3.THE GOAT--WHICH TYPIFIES THE SINNER AND WHEN USED SACRIFICIALLY, CHRIST AS NUMBERED WITH THE TRANSGRESSORS AND MADE SIN AND A CURSE AS THE SINNERS SUBSTITUTE.( MT CH 25 V 33, ISA CH 53 V 12 , LUKE CH 23 V 33, GAL CH 3 V 12 , 2 COR CH 5 V 21).
• 4. TURTLE DOVE >>>
  5.PIGEON>>>>>>BOTH WAS A SYMBOL OF MOURNING INNOCENCY, IS ASSOCIATED WITH POVERTY AND SPEAKS OF HIM WHO FOR OUR SAKES BECAME POOR. THE SACRIFICE OF THE POOR MAN BECOMES THE POOR MANS SACRIFICE.
  ( ISA CH 38 V 14 & CH 59 V 11, MT CH 23 V 37,LEV CH 5 V 7, LUKE CH 9 V 58,2 COR CH 8 V 9, PHIL CH 2 V 6-8, LUKE CH 2 V 24).

LETS LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF CHRIST!
IT WAS A BURNT SACRIFICE, IN HEBREW THE WORD IS OLAH WHICH MEANS THAT WHICH ASCENDS. IT WAS A BURNT SACRIFICE BECAUSE IT WAS CONSUMED IN ITS TOTALITY, ALL OF IT WAS ON THE ALTAR, NOTHING WAS LEFT, JUST AS CHRIST DID ON THE ALTAR OF THE CROSS. GOD WAS SATISFIED WITH CHRIST OFFERING, PEROID.
PAUL WROTE OF THIS IN EPHESIANS CH 5 V 2, READ IT.
THE SACRIFICE HAD TO BE PURE THEY HAD TO BE CLEAN ANIMALS, WHY BECAUSE THAT WHAT IT TOOK TO SATISFIED GOD, JUST AS CHRIST WAS PURE AND CLEAN, KNOW SIN ABOUT OR IN HIM. IT HAD TO BE A MALE WITHOUT BLEMISH, MALE SPEAKS OF STRENGHT, IT SPEAKS OF THE ABILITY OF CHRIST TO SAVE, HE WAS PERFECT.
THEN YOU WILL NOTICE IT HAD TO BE OFFERED OF HE'S OWN FREE WILL. GOD DOES NOT FORCE YOU TO RECEIVE HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE. LOOK AT V 3.THEN LOOK AT WHERE THEY WHERE TO PLACE THE SACRIFICE, IT WAS TO BE PUT AT THE DOOR.
WHY? READ JOHN CH 14 V 6, CHRIST WAS THE DOOR WE HAVE TO GO THRU TO GET TO GOD, THEIR IS KNOW OTHER WAY. THIS IS THE WAY CULTS GET STARTED BECAUSE THEY SAY THEIR IS OTHER WAYS, BUT AGAIN IN JOHN CH 10 V 9 JESUS
SAYS I AM THE DOOR, YOU HAVE TO ENTER IN THRU THE DOOR WHICH IS CHRIST.

THEN IN V 4 WE SEE THE SUBSTITUTIONARY SACRIFICE, BY THE LAYING ON OF THE HANDS OF THE SACRIFICE MEANT IT WAS DESIGNATED AND ASSIGNED FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THEIR HAD TO BE THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD, READ LEV CH 17 V 11 & HEBREWS CH 9 V 22, IT WAS An ATONEMENT WHICH MEANS TO COVER UP.
YOU WILL NOTICE YOU WANT FIND THE WORD ATONEMENT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. ITS NOT THEIR BECAUSE CHRIST CAME, GOD NO LONGER COVERS UP SIN HE TAKES IT AWAY. BY FAITH WE PUT OUR HANDS ON CHRIST AND HE BECOMES OUR SUBSTITUTE. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT.

NOTICE THE PRIEST WHERE TO FIRST WASH THE ANIMAL INWARDS AND LEGS WITH WATER, WHY WAS THIS DONE? TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE AS CLEAN AS IT COULD BE, THE INSIDES WHERE NASTY AND THE LEGS WHERE ON THE GROUND. THE PRIEST WHERE TO LAY THE SACRIFICE ON THE ALTER,V 8+9,ALSO NOTICE THAT IN THE BIBLE WATER IS A TYPE OF GODS WORD, WHEN WE GET SAVED GODS WORD CLEANS US UP FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND MAKES US ACCEPTABLE TO GOD. EVER MAN HAD FAILED TO BE ACCEPTABLE TO GOD, ADAM FAILED, ABRAHAM FAILED, MOSES FAILED, DAVID FAILED, PAUL FAILED, YOU AND I HAVE FAILED, BUT CHRIST DID NOT FAIL TO SATISFIED GOD DEMANDS. HE ALONE GLORIFIED GOD.
THE FIRE OF THE BURNT SACRIFICE ON THE BURNT ALTAR DOES NOT SPEAK OF JUDGMENT IT SPEAKS OF THE RESTLESS AND RESISTLESS ENERGY OF GOD. IT WAS GODS VIEW OF CHRIST.

THIS SACRIFICE IS A COMMUNION WITH GOD. WHAT IS COMMUNION WITH GOD? IT IS WHEN YOU AND I THINK WHAT GOD THE FATHER THINKS ABOUT CHRIST. WHEN YOU AND I FIND IN CHRIST OUR DELIGHT, WHEN HE BECOMES AS WONDERFUL TO US AS HA IS TO GOD, THATS COMMUNION.

THE LAST THING I WANT US TO SEE IS THIS, WHEN THE ANIMAL WAS BROUGHT TO BE SACRIFICED IS WAS SKINNED BEFORE IT WAS PUT ON THE FIRE BY THE PRIEST. THE PRIEST COULD NOT TAKE NO PART OF THE OFFERING, EXCEPT THE SKIN OF THE ANIMAL WHICH WAS GIVEN TO THE PRIEST AND HE MADE A GARMENT
TO WEAR, JUST AS YOU AND I ARE COVERED WITH A GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY THE DEATH OF CHRIST WHEN WE ACCEPT HE, S SACRIFICE FOR US. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS OBEDIENT TO DEATH. HE CAME AS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO NOT ONLY TAKES AWAY OUR SINS BUT ALSO IMPUTES TO US HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

THE TWO NATURES
FLESH VS SPIRIT (Part 3)

THE NEW-BORN BABE IN THE SPIRIT MUST BE FED SYSTEMATICALLY AND REGULAR NOT SPASMODICALLY AND HAPHAZARDLY, THIS IS WHAT GIVES THE DEVIL THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND TEAR US DOWN. INSTEAD OF FEEDING OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE WE ARE STARVING IT. (PSALMS CH 1 V 1 & PSALMS CH 119 V 11 ).

THOU WE HAVE THE TWO NATURES IN EVERY BELIEVER THE BELIEVER HAS ONLY ONE RESPONSIBILITY, WHICH IS THE NEW MAN. READ (EPHESIANS CH 4 V 22 & CH 6 V 12 -13).THE DEVINE LAW IS ( ROMANS CH 6 V 16 ).

• 1.A BELIEVER MUST NEVER ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE OR DEPEND UPON THE FLESH. READ ( ISAIAH CH 64 V 6 ).
• 2.WE ARE TO STARVE THE FLESH. READ ( ROMANS CH 13 V 14 ).
• 3.WE ARE TO RECKON THE OLD MAN DEAD. READ ( ROMANS CH 6 V 11 & I COR CH 9 V 27 & GAL CH 2 V 20 ).
• 4.MORTIFY THEREFORE YOUR MEMBERS WHICH ARE UPON THE EARTH. READ ( COL CH 3 V 5 - 10 ),TO MORTIFY IS TO PUT TO DEATH. PUT TO DEATH THE MEMBERS THAT SERVE THE NATURE OF THE FLESH. READ (ROMANS CH 6 V 2 ).PAUL DID NOT SAY THAT SIN WAS DEAD TO US BUT THAT WE ARE DEAD TO SIN.
• 5.WE ARE COMMANDED TO PUT OFF THE OLD MAN. READ ( EPHESIANS CH 4 V 22 ).

• 1.WE ARE TO DECLARE OUR SELF ALIVE IN THE SPIRIT. READ ( ROMANS CH 6 V 11 & GALATIANS CH 5 V 25 & COLOSSIANS CH 3 V 1 - 3 ).
• 2.WE ARE TO PUT ON THE NEW MAN. READ ( EPHESIANS CH 4 V 24 ).
• 3.WE ARE COMMANDED TO WALK IN THE NEW NATURE OF THE SPIRIT. READ (PSALMS CH 23 V 3 & PSALMS CH 37 V 23 ).
• 4.WE ARE COMMANDED TO FEED THE NEW NATURE. READ ( I PETER CH 2 V 2).
• 5.WE ARE TO DEPEND ON THE ENERGY OF THE HOLY SPITIT IN US, INDWELLING US DAILY, TO GIVE US VICTORY OVER THE WORLD, FLESH AND SATAN. READ ( EPHESIANS CH 3 V 20 & I JOHN CH 4 V 4 ).

IN CLOSING, YOUR MIND IS THE PLACE THIS BATTLE TAKES PLACE, THE MIND IS LIKE A STEERING WHEEL ON A CAR, WHICH EVER WAY YOU TURN IT IS THE WAY IT WILL GO. WE HAVE A BILLION DOLLAR SALVATION BUT VERY FEW OF US HAVE EVER CASHED IN ON THE ABUNDANT LIVING JESUS CAME TO GIVE US.

WE CANNOT FEED BOTH NATURES AT THE SAME TIME, ONE WILL STARVE WHILE THE OTHER IS GETTING FAT. WHICH ONE ARE YOU FEEDING AND WHICH ONE IS STARVING? THAT'S THE QUESTION YOU NEED TO AS YOURSELF.

LIGHT DRIVES OUT DARKNESS-THE WORD OF GOD IS LIGHT.
WATER DRIVES OUT THIRST-THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING WATER.
BREAD SATISFIES HUNGER-THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING BREAD.
TRUTH CRUSHES UNTRUTH-THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUTH.

I HOPE THAT THIS STUDY HAS HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE 2 NATURES
OF THE FLESH VS THE SPIRIT. GOD BLESS, BRO TIM PARROTT.

THE TWO NATURES
FLESH VS SPIRIT (Part 2)

WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT HOW THE FLESH IS AGAINST THE SPIRIT, BUT THE SPIRIT IS JUST AS AGAINST THE FLESH TO ,READ (GALATIANS CH 5 V 17 ),THE SPIRIT IS HERE SHOWN TO BE ON THE AGGRESSIVE. THE JOB OF THE SPIRIT IS TO FIGHT AGAINST THE POWER OF THE INBRED SIN AND TO DELIVERY US FROM SURRENDERING OUR LIVES TO THE POWER OF THE FLESH. READ (ROMANS CH 6 V 14 ).BUT LET ME SAY THIS ,THIS DELIVERANCE REQUIRES THE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF THE BELIEVER. WHERE YOU AND I FAIL IS WHEN SOMEONE GETS SAVED WE DON'T INSTRUCT THEM ON HOW TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS NEW NATURE THEY NOW HAVE. JUST AS THE NATURAL MAN IS SUSTAINED BY PHYSICAL FOOD AND WATER, SO IS THE SPIRITUAL MAN BY SPIRITUAL FOOD, READ ( 1 COR CH 3 V 1 - 3 ),WE HAVE TO GROW SPIRITUAL IN GOD WORD AND GRACE.

THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE NEW NATURE IS ONLY A BABY WHEN IT FIRST COMES IN TO OCCUPY A HEART AND LIFE. READ ( 1 PETER CH 2 V 2 ),THE NEW LIFE BEGINS WITH A BIRTH, (JOHN CH 3 V 3).IN (MARK CH 9 V 42),THIS SCRIPTURE TELLS US IT IS UP TO US WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SPIRITUAL GROWN-UPS TO HELP THE LITTLE ONES, HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT A CHILD IN THE FLESH HERE ,BUT A PERSON WHO HAS JUST BEEN SAVED AS A LITTLE ONE. YOU DON'T GET SAVED ONE DAY AND TEACH SUNDAY SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY OR PREACH, YOU HAVE TO GROW SPIRITUALLY BEFORE GOD CAN CALL YOU INTO HIS MINISTRY.

THAT'S ALL FOR THIS WEEK, CHECK BACK NEXT WEEK FOR PART 3 OF FLESH VS SPIRIT. GOD BLESS BRO TIM.

THE TWO NATURES
(FLESH VS SPIRIT))

• 1) 1.MAN HAS A NATURE THAT IS FLESHLY,IN THIS SCRIPTURE GIVEN (BY NATURE MEANS BY THE FLESH). (EPHESIANS CH 2 V 3.)
• 2.WE HAVE THE NATURE OF THE FLESH WHEN WE ARE BORN,THE FLESHLY NATURE IS NOT CHOSEN BY YOU OR ME,IT IS OURS AT BIRTH.(JOHN CH 3 V 6).
• 3.THIS NATURE IN THE BIBLE IS CALLED THE OLD MAN.(EPHESIANS CH 4 V 22).
• 4.NOT ONLY IS THE FLESH NATURE CALLED THE OLD MAN IT IS ALSO REFERRED TO IN GODS WORD AS THE NATURAL MAN(1 COR CH 2 V 14).THE SPIRITUAL PART OF MAN CRAVES THINGS THAT ARE SPIRUTUAL,THE FLESH CRAVES THINGS OF THE FLESH,IT TAKES THE WORD OF GOD TO SATISFY THE SPIRITUAL LIFE,BUT THE FLESH CRAVES THE THINGS OF THE WORLD.
• 5.THE OLD NATURE IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD(ROMANS CH 7 V 18 & JEREMIAH CH 17 V 9).GOD KNOWS HOW DECEITFUL THE HEART IS AND THE TERRIBLE PRICE IT COSY T JESUS TO PROVIDE A NEW HEART FOR MAN.(EZEKIEL CH 36 V 26 & 27).LETS LOOK AT A PICTURE OF OUR HEART THAT DWELLS IN US,READ (MARK CH 7 V 21 -23).A CHRISTIAN CAN ONLY OBEY THE HEART AS IT IS FULLY YEILDED TO THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADING YOU.THE LAW WAS NOT WEAK,GODS LAW IS STRONG AND POWERFUL BUT THE FLESH WAS WEAK AND WHAT THE LAW COULDNT DO GOD SENT HIS SON TO DO AND HE DID IT IN THE FLESH.(ROMANS CH 8 V 3).
• 6.THE NATURE OF THE FLESH CANNOT BE CHANGED.(ROMANS CH 8 V 7).THIS SCRIPTURE TELLS US THAT THE FLESH IS NOT ONLY CONTRARY TO THE DEMANDS OF THE LAW,BUT THAT IT CANNOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW.(ROMANS CH 3 V 20 & JEREMIAH CH 13 V 23).WE CAN NO MORE CHANGE THE HABITS OF THE FLESH THAN A COLORED MAN CAN CHANGE HIS SKIN.YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH WITHIN YOUR OUW POWER.
• 7.GOD PASSED THE SENTENCE OF DEATH UPON FLESH(GEN CH 3 V 19 & GEN CH 6 V 13).IN (1 COR CH 15 V 22 & EPHESIANS CH 2 V 3) WE ARE BY NATURE (FLESH NATURE) THE CHILDREN OF WRATH.GOD GAVE UP THE FLESH AS HOPLESS AND KNOW GOOD,HE PRONOUNCED THE BODY BACK TO THE DUST.THE N.T TEACHES US PLAINLY THAT THRU OUR FLESH WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL.WE DONT HAVE TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO STEAL,SAY BAD WORDS,TO DO BAD THINGS,THOSE THINGS THEY ALREADY KNOW HOW TO BECAUSE THEY WHERE BORN WITH IT,WE HAVE TO TEACH THEM THE THINGS OF GOD AND LEAD THEM TO CHRIST.
• 8.THE FLESHLY LEVEL OF MAN IS DESCRIBED IN (GALATIANS CH 5 V 17).FLESH IN THIS SCRIPTURE REPERSENT THE SIN NATURE OF THE OLD MAN,SEE THE LAW CONDEMS US AS SINNERS BUT CHRIST SATIFIED THE DEMAND OF THE LAW(ROMANS CH 6 V 1 - 10)

(4 THINGS GOD CANNOT DO)

• #1.GOD CANNOT DIE( PSALMS CH 90 V 1 & 2 & DEUTERONOMY CH 4 V 35).
  GOD IS EVERLASTING, HOW LONG IS EVERLASTING?. THE NEVER ENDING EXISTENCE OF GOD IS SOMETHING WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. READ ISAIAH CH 55 V 8 & 9 ,WE LOOK UP AT THE SUN AND WE SEE THE STARS WHICH ARE EVEN FARTHER BUT GODS WORD TELLS US THAT GODS WAYS AND THOUGHTS ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN OURS. MANS DEALS IN YRS BUT GOD DEALS IN CENTURIES(2 PETER CH 3 V 8 SAYS ONE DAY IS WITH GOD AS A 1000YRS AND 1000YRS AS ONE DAY. GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN, HE WILL CONTINUE TO BE. READ HEBREWS CH 11 V 1,WE WILL DIE BUT DEATH HAS NO VICTORY OVER US, IT WILL NOT KEEP US FROM GOD. READ 2 PETER CH 3 V 10,HOW LONG IS OUR SALVATION?, EVERLASTING BECAUSE GOD IS EVERLASTING.
• #2.GOD CANNOT LIE( HEBREWS CH 6 V 17 & 18 & TITUS CH 1 V 2).
  GOD CANNOT LIE, THAT'S WHAT PAUL IS SAYS IN ROMANS CH 3 V 4,SO BE ASSURED THAT WHEN YOU READ AND STUDY GODS WORD YOU WON'T BE CONFUSED, GODS WORD IS TRUE AND WAS DICTATED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PENNED GOWN BY HOLY MEN OF GOD AND IT WILL ELIMINATE CONFUSION BECAUSE OF ITS TRUTH. PAUL SAID IN 2 TIMOTHY CH 1 V 12 THAT HE KNEW WHOM HE BELIEVED IN, DO YOU?. LET ME SAY THAT RELIGION WILL CONFUSE YOU AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL DIE AND GO TO HELL BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY HAVE RELIGION. HEBREWS CH 13 V 8 SAYS JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, TO DAY AND FOREVER. GOD WORD PROMISES US WE WILL NOT BE CONFOUNDED ,READ 1 PETER CH 2 V 6.GOD CANNOT LIE SO LISTEN TO GOD WORD AND CLAIM THE PROMISES HE GIVES. (MATT CH 11 V 28,JOHN CH 6 V 35 ,JOHN CH 5 V 24,JOHN CH 3 V 16 & 18).
• #3.GOD CANNOT SEE OUR SINS THRU THE BLOOD OF CHRIST (HEBREWS CH 9 V 22).
  FROM THE BEGINNING IT HAD TO BE A BLOOD OFFERING. CAIN OFFERED HIS FRUIT OF THE GROUND, BUT GOD REJECTED IT, ABLE OFFERED HIS FLOCK AND GOD ACCEPTED IT BECAUSE IT WAS A BLOOD OFFERING, GOD DEALS IN BLOOD, THE DECREE THAT GOD MADE IN EXODUS CH 12 V 13 STILL APPLIES TODAY FOR ME AND YOU, READ IT. READ MATT CH 7 V 21 -23 & JAMES CH 1 V 22.WHY ARE THESE FOLKS DENIED ENTRANCE INTO GODS KINGDOM, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT UNDER THE BLOOD, READ I JOHN CH 1 V 7 & ROMANS CH 5 V 8 & 9.WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE JUSTIFIED IN THE SIGHT OF GOD?, WE ARE JUSTIFIED BY AND THRU THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, IT COVERS OUR SINS AND GOD CANNOT SEE THEM, PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. AMEN.
• #4.GOD CANNOT SAVE SOMEONE UNLESS THEY ARE WILLING TO BE SAVED. IF GOD COULD SAVE A PERSON AGAINST HIS WILL THEN GOD WOULD BE A DICTATOR AND CHRISTIANS WOULD BE SLAVES BUT GOD IS NOT A DICTATOR AND HE MADE MAN A FREE MORAL AGENT. IN GENESIS CH 2 V 17 GOD MADE THE GARDEN A CHOICE, THE SAME TODAY AS THEN, WE HAVE A CHOICE, GOD DOESN'T FORCE US TO FOLLOW. THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. THE FATHER KNEW BEST BUT THE BOY HAD TO MAKE HIS CHOICE, SO WITH GOD IN OUR LIFE, HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR US ,BUT WE STILL HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE .READ ACTS CH 16 V 31,SIMPLE BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED AND THY HOUSE.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

1. WE ARE BORN OF THE SAME FATHER (JOHN CH 1 V 13 ).

5. WALK IN THE SAME PATH(2 COR CH 5 V 7 ).
6. SERVE THE SAME MASTER (MATT CH 23 V 8 ).

• WE CAN RESTORE OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD THRU THE CONFESSION OF OUR SINS BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST (I JOHN 1 V 9 ).

WINNING LOST SOULS 4 GOD

#1.YOU MUST FULLY DEVOTE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD.
( EXODUS CH 20 V 3 )
( LUKE CH 10 V 27 )
(COLOSSIANS CH 3 V 17 )

WHAT MAKES YOU A DEVOTED CHRISTIAN?

• A: YOUR CHARACTER--YOUR BELIEFS & CHRISTIAN VALUES ARE YOUR FOOTING ON WHICH YOU BUILD YOUR LIFE ON AND YOUR MINISTRIES. (MICAH CH 6 V 8 ).
• B: YOUR INTEGRITY--INTEGRITY IS A FINE SENSE OF ONES OBLIGATION TO GOD, TO OUR MINISTRY AND TO EACH OUR. WHAT HELPS US TO MAKE A COMMITMENT AND
  KEEP IT, OUR INTEGRITY.
• C: YOU HAVE TO GROW SPIRITUALLY, OUR FAITH GROWS WHEN WE ARE PUT TO THE TEST. (COLOSSIANS CH 3 V 23 ).

PEOPLE THAT GROW UP SPIRITUALLY DO SO FOR 3 REASONS.

• 1. THEY HURT ENOUGH TO HAVE TO.
• 2. THEY LEARN ENOUGH TO WANT TO.
• 3. THEY GROW ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO.

• 1.PRAISING GOD-(PSALMS CH 86 V 12 ).
• 2.SEEK GOD DIRECTION & SUBMIT TO HIS WILL. (PSALMS CH 143 V 8 ).
• 3.REQUEST GODS PROVISION (PHILIPPIANS CH 4 V 19 ).
• 4.CONFESS YOUR SIN & SEEK FORGIVENESS (PSALMS CH 86 V 5 ).

• 1. GOSSIP
• 2. SIN
• 3. LACK OF PRAYER
• 4. LACK OF FAITH

( THEY WATCHED )

• #1.THE RELIGIOUS RULERS-- LUKE CH 23 V 35, MARK CH 15 V 31
• #2.HIS FOLLOWERS---- LUKE CH 23 V 27
• #3.THE SOLDIERS-------MARK CH 15 V 39
• #4.MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS--- JOHN CH 19 V 25-27, MARK CH 15 V 41.

BUT THEIR ARE 3 SOLDIERS THAT I WANT US TO LOOK AT THAT WHERE THEIR AND THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY WITH.

1ST SOLDIER, (MATTHEW CH 27 V 35 ,MARK CH 15 V 24 , JOHN CH 19 V 23-24, MATTHEW CH 16 V 26, MARK CH 8 V 36)
THIS SOLDIER WAS THE ONE WHO WON THE LOTTERY AND OBTAINED THE SEAMLESS COAT OF JESUS. INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO THE WORDS
OF CHRIST HE WAS MORE INTERESTED IN MATERIAL GAIN IN THIS WORLD INSTEAD OF WORDS OF JESUS THAT COULD HAVE GIVEN HIM ETERNAL LIFE. JESUS SPOKE 7 TIMES FROM THE CROSS BUT HE WAS WORRY ABOUT WORLDLY GAIN THAN ETERNAL GAIN, HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE JUST LIKE THIS SOLDIER, IT WILL COST US OUR LIFE JUST LIKE IT DID HIM.

2ND SOLDIER (JOHN CH 19 V 32-34)
THIS SOLDIER COMMITTED A DEPLORABLE ACT, JESUS WAS ALREADY DEAD. HE MUTILATED THE BODY OF JESUS. THIS SOLDIER REPRESENTS
THOSE TODAY WHOM SEEMINGLY ENJOY HURTING OTHERS. THEY HATE THE CHURCH, THE GOSPEL, THEY HATE THE CHURCH THE BIBLE, EVERYTHING ABOUT GOD. THEY ARE BEING LED BY SATAN AND GOING TO HELL. THIS SOLDIER WAS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ONE WHO COULD HAVE SAVED THEM BUT HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD DO TO KILL HIM.

3RD SOLDIER (MARK CH 15 V 39 )
THIS SOLDIER WAS CONCERNED ENOUGH TO PAY ATTENTION TO
WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE DURING JESUS DEATH. THIS CENTURION WAS A GENTILE, AN ALIEN FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL. HE WAS AT THE FEET
OF JESUS THE ENTIRE TIME AND HEARD EVERY WORD JESUS SPOKE. HE HEARD
JESUS PRAY FOR HIS EXECUTIONERS IN (LUKE CH 23 V 34 ), FOR FORGIVENESS FOR THE THIEF IN (LUKE CH 23 V 42-43 ), HE HEARD JESUS SPEAK TO JOHN ABOUT CARING FOR HIS MOTHER IN (JOHN CH 19 V 27 ). THIS SOLDIER REPRESENTS THOSE OF US IN THE WORLD TODAY WHO ARE CONCERNED ENOUGH TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND BELIEVE WHAT THEY HEARD.

IN CLOSING,

• 1ST SOLDIER WON A COAT BUT LOST THE OPPORTUNITY OF WEARING
  A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
• 2ND SOLDIER STAINED HIS SPEAR WITH THE BLOOD THAT COULD HAVE WASHED AWAY HIS SINS.
• 3RD SOLDIER SAW, HEARD, REASONED, AND WAS SAVED BY THE WORDS HE HEARD.

READ PSALMS CH 22 V 12 - 20 ABOUT THE DEATH OF CHRIST.

     THIS IS JUST SOME OF THE EXCUSES WE AS CHRISTIANS USE TO TRY AND GET OUT OF DOING WHAT GODS WANTS TO DO FOR HIM IN OUR LIFE, HE DIED FOR YOU AND I AND WE HAVE NO EXCUSE TO USE IN OUR SERVICE FOR HIM..
GOD BLESS BRO TIM.
