DANIEL CHAPTER 11

Posted on by

 

Verse 1)Also in the first year of Da-ri’-us the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. This appears to be an Angel speaking. Possibly Gabriel who had given the prophecy of Daniel chapter 9 to Gods prophet Daniel.

Verse2-4) And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Gre’- ci-a. And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those. This prophecy was written in 536 B.C. The three kings in Persia were Cyrus, Cambyses, Darius, and the fourth was Xerxes, the richest and most powerful of the Persian kings. He invaded Greece but was defeated at Salamis. These prophecy’s were written over 200 years before there was a Greek Empire. The Greek Empire was founded in 331 B.C. By Alexander the Great. At his death the Greek Empire was divided up between his four main Generals. They ruled from Egypt, Turkey, Syria, and Greece.”Not to his posterity’ refers to the fact that Alexander’s empire was not given to any of his relatives to take over, neither did he dictate who should rule after him.

Verse 5-20)These verses refer to the different kings and their different actions from the remains of Alexander’s empire until the anti-christ arises.

Verse 21) And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. The anit-christ is a vile person because he is possessed by the devil himself. The anti-christ will not be given the honour of the kingdom. Could this mean he will come to power by voter fraud, or by lies and false promises, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries?

Verse 22) And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the Covenant. The anti-christ will have great armies to take over those who oppose him and even the prince of the Covenant. This could be talking about the one who wrote the covenant that he confirmed in Daniel 9:27, which starts the last seven years.

Verse 23) And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. He works his way in with deceit through minority’s.

Verse 24) He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil , and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. He will come in deceitfully even on the most wealthy country and countries, not like previous dictators who came in and took power by force. He shall use socialism and distribute the riches to the poor, and give out ultimatums for a time (a year?).
Verse 25) And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to do battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. There will be nations that war against the anti-christ and his armies. These devices could be spiritual such as witch craft, or electronic magnetic pulses (E.M.P’s) which will knock out electronics and computers, causing great confusion, and chaos, and collapse of whole nations and armies.

Verse 26) Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. This could be referring to betrayals which will take place by nations whom he supports and backs.

Verse 27) And both these kings hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. This sounds like the United Nations, speaking lies that do not prosper at one table. This verse also shows us how that ultimately God is in control, and has an appointed time for the end.

Verse 28)Then shall he return into his own land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. The anti-christ will do great exploits and conquer many, and in his heart he is against the covenant, because he wants to proclaim himself as God.

Verse 29-30)At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. For the ships of Chit’-tim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant; so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that  forsake the holy covenant. The ships of Chit’-tim refers to Britain who will send their ships, and possibly air ships also against the anti-christ. He will conspire and have intelligence with them that are against the covenant and the Jewish daily sacrifices. Possibly the Muslims.

Verse 31) And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. The anti-christ will have the force of his armies on his side and he will make the Jews stop their daily sacrifices and he will place the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION. This event will start the last three and one half years,The Great Tribulation period. (See our class on Matthew 24).

Verse 32) And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. He will lie and flatter and corrupt the people who are also against the covenant and the Jewish sacrifices in the Temple. The people who know Jesus will be doing mighty miracles and leading many to the Lord.

Verse 33) And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. For 1,260 days the Christians will be under heavy persecution while they witness to the world about what is going on.

Verse 34) Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. The Holy Spirit will help the saved through these times, and the Lord will raise up people to help us, and many will come to the saved believers for help, but be careful that they aren’t spy’s seeking a reward for turning you in.

Verse 35) And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. Many believers will be killed, to try, and to purge, and to prepare us to meet the Lord.

Verse 36)And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. (II Thessalonians 2:3,4) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Verse 37) Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. He doesn’t regard any god but himself, nor have a desire for women, or care about their desires.

Verse 38,39) But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. The god of forces could be talking about nuclear power, which he will heavily invest into and use( see Revelation Chapter 8 & 9).He shall divide the land for gain, (spread the wealth around) to gain supporters.Sounds like Socialism  ?

Verse 40) And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. The anit-christ will be under many attacks.

Verse 41) He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even E’-dom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. The glorious land is Israel. These Arab countries and their leader will escape out of his hand. Possibly because of being on his side against the covenant and the Jewish daily sacrifice.

Verse 42-44) He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Lib’-yans and E-thi-o’-pi-ans shall be at his steps. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. He will subdue Egypt and take power over their wealth. With great anger and fury will he go after all who oppose him. Woe unto the inhablitors of the earth, and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath,because he knoweth, that he hath but a short time. ( Revelation 12:12b)

Verse 45) And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. He will place his palace between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea and sit in the Temple proclaiming himself god and no one will be able to help him when Jesus comes.

 

DANIEL CHAPTER 12

Posted on by

Verse 1) And at that time, shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found a written in the book. Michael, one of God’s main Angels, or archangels. He will stand up, and come forth and fight for God’s people against the devil and his angels and demons in the end times. Jesus said the great tribulation would began when you see the abomination of desolation stand in the temple. Then would begin a time of trouble known as the great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world( Matthew 24:15,21,29), and it will steadily get worse until the rapture of the saved and then the the seven vials of God’s wrath are poured upon the earth while the saved are in heaven at the marriage supper of the Lamb. All the saved will be delivered from the wrath of God,(BUT NOT THE GREAT TRIBULATION) and taken to Heaven. Everyone whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Yes, the Lord keeps a record of everyone who has been saved, and a record of what we do in this life.

Verse 2) And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. The Bible says, For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. ( I Thessalonians 4:16,17). Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ( II Corinthians 15:51,52). At the seventh trumpet the rapture takes place, and the dead saved are resurrected first and the saved which are alive are taken up to heaven before the vials of the Wrath of God are poured out upon the earth. This will all take place in the twinkling of and eye. Some will be happy to see Jesus, and some will be ashamed because they didn’t serve the Lord in their time here on earth.

Verse 3) And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they did turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Proverbs 11:30 says The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that when of souls is wise. So if you want to shine like the stars then win souls for Jesus.

Verse 4) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. The Angel tells Daniel just to write the book and shut it up and seal it until the time of the end when many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Well, this is one reason that we know it is the time of the end, because the book of Daniel has now been opened and revealed to us. Many are running to and fro all over the world as world travel was virtually unheard of just 100 years ago, and knowledge has been greatly increased, from letter writing to Internet, and computers, not to mention advances in science and other technology. This is another amazing sign of the Time of the end.

Verse 5-7) Then I Daniel looked and behold There stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man clothed in linen which was upon the waters of the river, how long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen which was upon the waters of the river when he held up his right hand in his left hand and to heaven and swear by him that live with for ever that it should be for a time, times, and in half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people all these things shall be finished. This is talking about the great tribulation. For 3 1/2 years, or time, times, and a half. When the anit-christ has scattered God’s people and it looks like the end for us, then Jesus comes to rescue the saved that are still alive on earth.

Verse 8,9) And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Daniel did not understand, and he is told to go his way, and the words would be revealed at the time of the end, as they now are to you, as you study these classes.

Verse 10) Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; that the wise shall understand. The wicked unsaved who reject Jesus and the truth of his Word will not understand these prophecies. Jesus said, Blessed are those that do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6 )

Verse 11,12) And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up there shall be 1,290 days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. These are the only two verses in the Bible that give us a time frame for the two main events that happen after the rapture. These two events are, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and the Seven Vials of the Wrath of God, which are poured out upon the earth, while the saved are in Heaven. We know that there are 1,260 days in the Great Tribulation, from the time that the Abomination Of Desolation is placed in the Temple, until the Rapture. 1,290 days are 30 days more past 1,260 days. Then it says Blessed is he that waits and comes to 1,335 days. Why are they blessed, because that is when the millennium begins, or the 1,000 year reign of Christ on the earth. So this gives us a time, of a total of 75 days past the rapture. During this 75 day period the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will occur, and also the Seven Vials of the Wrath of God will be poured out upon the earth, ending with the Seventh Vial which is the battle of Armageddon. Maybe the first 30 day period mentioned in verse 11 will be for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and the next 45 days may be for the Vials of Wrath to be poured out. We don’t know why the Lord broke up these time periods into 30 days and 45 days for a total of 75 days, but we will soon someday find out.

Verse 13) But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Even though Daniel could not understand all these prophecies because they were not for his day. He is told to just rest and don’t worry about it, because he will get his reward at the end of days.

 

HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY !!!

Posted on by

How about if we say Happy Resurrection day instead of saying happy Easter which  comes from the ancient Babylonians who believe a giant egg fell from heaven and  hatched the Goddess astsrte (the goddess of fertility) by the Euphrates  river,hence Easter and the eggs.

Today is the day that we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.This really is the Holiest day of all for all Christian believers to rejoice in and be happy and thankful, even more important than Christmas! Today Jesus conquered death and the grave and through faith in him we can too. Jesus said I am the resurrection and the life. He that believes in me shall never perish! ( John 11:25,26).

Today is a good day to have comunion and get a fresh start with the Lord and a clean heart ! Today is a good day for us all to get a resurection in our own lives and hearts and with each other and in our relationship with Jesus and each other, Amen? So celebrate and have a jubilee today. May God Bless You! ! !

An Easter Message

Posted on by

“E’-li E’-li, la’-ma sa-bach’-tha-ni?”.( Matthew 27:46). These words mean, My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? That is what Jesus cried out to God his Father when he was dying on the cross for your and my sins. He couldn’t understand why God his Father had turned his back on him and had forsaken him. He was so used to having his Father be so close to him all the time, and at this time of all times, God his Father wasn’t there for him. He had to go through it all alone by himself. He did it because he loved his Father and because he loved you! I have heard many preachers say that God turned his back on Jesus because God is perfect and he can not look upon sins, when Jesus took upon him the sins of the whole world. The fact is ,yes God is perfect, but  God looks upon our sins everyday. “The eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good.” ( Proverbs 15:3). We all deserve to be in prison and to go to hell, but The Lord had mercy upon us. Jesus could have called 10,000 Angels to destroy the world. I think God turned his back on, Jesus when he was dying on the cross, because it hurt him so much that he couldn’t take the pain of being there and watching what was happening to his Son for you and me.” For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have ever lasting life.” John 3:16. What do you think? We should celebrate Easter just as much if not more than Christmas, because Easter stands for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ after he died for our sins which is what he was born in this world for.

Revelation Chapter 10

Verse 1-3) AND I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. This was quite a sight to hear and behold. It could have been Gabriel or Michael the Arc Angels. We don’t know for sure, but it was a mighty angel, so this message must be very important.

Verse 4) And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. We don’t know what the seven thunders said, because a voice from heaven told John not to write what they said. Perhaps this is symbolic of why God’s word is written like a mystery or like a puzzle that we must seek and search out and put it together to see the full beautiful picture. God wants to see who is hungry and thirsty for his spiritual truths. Like Jesus said “blessed are they that hunger and thirst , for they shall be filled.” Do you hunger and thirst after God’s truth in his Word? Are you desperately trying to put the pieces of God’s puzzle together?

Verse 5,6) And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things which are therein, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: The angel is talking about time which shall be no more for all the saved, because they will be living in the spirit world with God where time does not exists. There is only an eternal now in God’s Spirit world.

Verse 7) But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. This verse is talking about the seventh trumpet. We have already covered six trumpets of tribulation. The seventh trumpet is the Rapture, when Jesus takes all the saved to Heaven. The mystery of God is found in (I Corinthians 15:51,52) which says “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” The seventh trumpet is also found mentioned in (I Thessalonians 4:16,17)“ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arcangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Verse 8-11) And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. There are other verses where God told his Prophets to eat the Word. “ MOREOVER HE said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll. And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.” ( Ezekiel 3: 1-3). “ Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” ( Jeremiah 15:16). Eating the Word is like really studying it and understanding it. It’s like honey it’s nourishing to us, but it can cause our belly to be bitter. This happens because of persecution when we preach the truth, as “all who will live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” ( II Timothy 3:12). We are accountable to tell others the truth that God has revealed to us.

 

WITNESSING

Posted on by

calaeb

1) Witnessing for Jesus, and telling people about Jesus is something that you will just naturally want to do after you get saved and meet Jesus personally, after you ask Jesus to come into your heart.

2) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. (II Corinthians 5:17).

3) Its like finding a cure for cancer or some dreaded disease. You will just automatically want to tell every one about it.

4) And he saith unto them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. (Matthew 4:19).

5) When I found Jesus and got filled with the Holy Spirit. I just wanted to tell everyone about him, and I wanted every one to be saved and to know JESUS too. I didn’t know anything about the Bible, but I knew that everyone needed to know Jesus.

6)You don’t need a big education in the Bible or anything else for that matter to be a witness for Jesus. All you need is to know Jesus. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. ( Acts 4:13).

7) Sure it helps a lot to know all about the Bible to increase your faith and to be a better witness, but if you think that you have got to wait until you are some kind of a perfect sinless saint and have to have some kind of a degree until you can preach the Gospel,  then  the devil has deceived you, and you have listened to his lies. That is one of the devils main jobs is to destroy your witness and keep you from winning souls for Jesus.

8) Just ask God in the name of Jesus to fill you with the Holy Ghost and to give you the power to be a witness for Jesus. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8).

9) Always uplift the name of Jesus and the Holy Spirit will draw people to Jesus. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus sake. (II Corinthians 4:5).

10) Witnessing is our job. We can only witness .What they do with our witness is up to them, everyone must make their own decision.

11) Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and doctrine. (II Timothy 4:2).

12) Do not wait until you feel led to witness. I have heard this many times from Christians who say they only witness when the Spirit leads them too. You mean to tell me that you are really so yielded to the Lord all the time that you only witness when the Spirit moves you? Wow! Can I get your autograph, and how about the lottery numbers?

13) The Bible says, Behold now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation. (II Corinthians 6:2b).Tomorrow may be to late for some.

14) One thing you can’t do in Heaven is win souls because everyone there is already saved.

15) If were not going to try and win souls here on earth, then the Lord might as well just take us to heaven as soon as we get saved.

16) Lets don’t just use Jesus as a fire escape for ourselves, like so many do.

17) But when he saw the multitudes he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. (Mathew 9:36-38).

18) We need to ask the Lord to give us a broken heart of compassion for the lost like he has. We need to ask him to give us his spiritual eyes to see lost souls as he does.

19) If you saw a blind person walking toward a cliff wouldn’t you try and stop him?

20) Being a missionary is the most important, most rewarding, most fulfilling, most fun, most exciting job you could ever have.

21) A Missionary is someone who is on a mission in life.

22) You can be a Missionary no matter what else your doing as long as you remember what your main job is ,which is to help people know Jesus.

23) If you cant be a Missionary at least pray for them and help support them with what you can as the Lord supplies.

24) Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice when some have never heard it once?

25) One of the most needed, and important fields is child evangelism.

26) You are either a missionary or a mission field.

27) Many are called but few are chosen, because few choose to be chosen.

28) The way you lay up treasures in heaven is by winning souls or helping to win them.

29) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. (Proverbs 11;30). They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. (Daniel 12;3).

30) The souls you win to Jesus, and help win, will be your friends, and brothers and sisters forever in Heaven, and will be eternally grateful. Next to seeing Jesus the greatest reward in Heaven will be seeing the souls you won for him.

31) All the things of this life are soon to pass, and only whats done for Jesus Christ shall last.

32) Missionaries are on the top of Gods list.

33) Go ye into all of the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15). This is a commandment from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is not a suggestion. This verse is called “The Great Commission”. Have you been commissioned? You have if you have been saved and heard this class.

34) You can fulfill Mark 16:15 by helping Missionaries that are on the field.

35) Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (I John 3:16).

36) And he sent them to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. (Luke 9:2).

37) God wants, and expects all Christians to be Missionaries.

38) There are many degrees of Missionaries or Disciples. Some are 10% some are 20%,, some are 50%, and some are100%.

39) Lets don’t draw a circle and put people out. Lets draw a circle and bring them in.

40) And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews. I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. (I Corinthians 9:20a,&22b).). I can be a Jehovah witness to a Jehovah witness because I witness for Jehovah (One of Gods names in the Bible). I can be a Catholic to the Catholics, because the word catholic means “universal”, and Jesus is for everybody. I can be a Cowboy to the Cowboy, a Businessman to a Businessman, etc,etc.

41)Just pray and ask Jesus to bring lost souls by your way so you can witness to them.

42) Don’t waste time on people who are not sincerely looking for the truth. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. (Titus 3;9-11). Give not that which is Holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet,and turn again and rend you. (Matthew 7:6).

43) So shall my Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.(Isaiah 55:11). Witnessing is never wasted,even if people reject your witness, and persecute you. The Word that they heard from you will make them accountable on the day of judgment. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they have no cloak for their sin. (John 15;22). Sometimes you can plant a seed from the Word in their hearts that will spring forth at a later date. Someone plants and someone waters the seed, but It is God that gives the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. (I Corinthians 3;8 ).

44) But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God preadventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves

out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. (II Timothy 2:23-26). Avoid getting into arguments. They hardly ever result into anything good. Just give them the Word in love, and let the Holy Spirit work in their hearts.

45) Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name, he may give it you. ( John 15:16). According to this verse Jesus has ordained you into the ministry, and you don’t need the ordination of man to preach the Gospel, but it can sometimes help open doors for you. Jesus wants us to bring forth fruit unto him. The fruit of an apple tree is an apple. The fruit of a pear tree is a pear. The fruit of a saved Christian is another Saved Christian.Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Matthew 7;20).

46) And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Matthew 7:28,29). Preach and teach with authority and boldness. Don’t be wishy washy or namby pamby. The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. (Proverbs 28:1)

47) And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. ( Acts 5:42).

48) Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn everyone night and day with tears. (Acts 20;31).

49) I BESEECH you therefore brethren , by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. (Romans 12 :1&2). Like the Lady said “Oh this just kills me to go out witnessing.” Well, that is what it should do, it should kill your pride and your self esteem and your selfishness and your worry about what people think about you. And he said to them all, If any man will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whosoever shall save his life shall loose it: but whosoever shall loose his life for my sake ,the same shall save it. ( Luke 9:23,24).

50) Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. ( Matthew 5:11&12). Yea and all that will live Godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (II Timothy 3:12). If they arrested you for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: ( I Peter 3:15 ). Let your Light shine . (Matthew 5:6).

51) For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the Holy Angels. ( Mark 8: 36-38).

52) What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. ( Matthew 10:27,28).

53) Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in Heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is Heaven. ( Matthew 10:32,33).

54) Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes , and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. ( John 4:35). You don’t need four months of training before you can start witnessing.

55) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having you loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. Praying always with all pray and supplication in the spirit, and watching there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. (Ephesians 6: 10-18). Remember when you are witnessing that you are entering into spiritual combat with the devil and his demonic forces for the souls that you are trying to win out of the devil’s clutches to Jesus. So take on the full armour of God with desperate prayer as you go forth into battle for Jesus and lost souls.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Prayer & Faith

Posted on by

First begin with a clean heart before the Lord. “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”(Psalm 51:10-12). Any unconfessed sins will hinder your connection with the Lord. “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:2). You don’t need to
confess your sins to man, but to the Lord. Unless you have done something wrong against someone then you need to try and go to that person and make things right and ask for forgiveness. If they don’t hear you or forgive you, at least you have done your part, because if they don’t forgive then God won’t forgive them
either. “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.”(Matthew 5: 23,24).“I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.” (Psalm 32:5). “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may
be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:16). “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13). There is a time to confess your faults to others, especially when you need prayer for something. Fervent prayer means to
be sincere and even desperate. There is a time when you really need to get desperate with the Lord. Remember the most important, and valuable thing you have is your relationship with Jesus, and you need to guard it at all times, and at all costs. We need to work on our relationship with the Lord. We can’t earn
salvation by our works, but we can work on our relationship with Jesus. The devils main job is to destroy your relationship with the Lord. Sometimes it’s good to just say a general prayer asking God for his forgiveness for all our sins, even the ones we are not aware of, but God is. “ mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head:” (Psalm 40:12b).

Praise and thank the Lord for all his goodness, and mercies, and blessings. “ I WILL bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”( Psalm 34:1). Instead of just jumping into prayer asking God to do this and that. We need to show some respect and honor to the King of Kings. You wouldn’t just wondering up in front of a King and demand him to do things. How much more respect should we show to our Almighty Lord and Savior. It is good to praise the Lord, it’s like priming a pump to
get the water flowing. We need to get Gods Spirit flowing. We need to be humble before the Lord. “He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God” (Micah 6:8). “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.” (Proverbs 22:4).

Pray for others before praying for yourself. Pray for the  Missionaries who are God’s front line soldiers on the battlefield against the devil. Pray for lost souls. “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them. Because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” ( Matthew 9:36-38). Pray for those who are in prison for the Gospels sake. “Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them;” (Hebrews 13:3a). There are many people and situations to pray for before praying for ourselves. The Lord
will lead you, just ask him.
Next pray for yourself and your needs. “Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.” ( Matthew 7:7). “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” ( Philippians 4:19). “Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give
thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4). “Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” (James 4;3). God always answers prayer. He says yes, no, or wait. Waiting on the Lord is one of the hardest lessons we all have to, and need to, learn. We need to have faith when we ask the Lord for something. “But without faith it is impossible to please
him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is , and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). Take a stand of FAITH on God’s promises in his word. You have got to quote the terms of the contract (The BIBLE) to the contract maker (God ) ! “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32;27). “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy one of Israel, (JESUS) and his Maker (GOD). Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.” (Isaiah 45:11). “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs3:5,6). The Lord wants you to grow spiritually in faith in him, and not lean on your own understanding or
someone else’s faith. But have your own faith in him and his Word. Here are some good verses that you can claim and even quote them to Jesus when you pray. “As thou hast believed , so be it done unto thee.”(Matthew 8:13). “Jesus saith unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23). “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”(Luke 1:37). “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”(James 1:1-6). Don’t doubt and be double mind with your prayers if you want God to answer them. “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”(Mark 11:23), Don’t doubt in your heart. “verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”(Matthew 17:20). The purpose of this class is to help give you some basic lessons about prayer. For those who already know
all of this information. I hope this will be an inspiring review. I know it is for me. The Lord knows that you can’t always go exactly by these seven guidelines. Sometimes time and circumstances just wont allow you to follow all of these important points, but when you do make time for the Lord to pray, its good to remember this class and follow it as best as you can. Remember to “Pray without ceasing.” (IThessalonians 5;17). Prayer is something you can always be doing no matter what else you are doing. Also
don’t forget to listen to the Lord. “Be still and know that I am God.”( Psalm 46;10a). The Lord often speaks in a still small voice You’ve spoken your peace, let God speak his. “And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire; a still small voice.” ( I Kings 19:12). “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”. ( Isaiah 30:21). It helps to get quiet and listen to hear the still small voice of God.
Finally don’t forget to pray in the name of Jesus. There is wonder working power in his name. “whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name, he may give it you.”( John 15;16 b). “And whatsoever
ye shall ask in my name that will I do,that the father may be glorified in the son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14;13,14 ). “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father but by me.” ( John 14:6 ).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Class on Prayer

Posted on by

Some of you may need to know more about prayer as I do, I hope this will help. First when you come to God in prayer you should begin with a clean heart, ( Psalm 51:10-12) “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;and uphold me with thy free spirit.”

Any uconfessed sin will hinder your relationship and connection with God.( Isaiah 59;2) “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. “ Some sins you need to confess only to God. Some sins you need to also confess to others, if you have wronged them or held something in your heart against them especially if they know about it.( Psalm 32: 1,2,5) “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity and in whose spirit there is no guile. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah “( Matthew 5: 23,24) “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” If you have any bitterness, hatred, jealousy, envying, strife, or anything evil in your heart toward someone else you need to get right with God about that, and right with that person or persons you may have hurt or offend and get that cleared away so you can come into God’s presence with your prayer. Holding bitterness or evil in your heart will choke you out spiritually and even physically.( Hebrews 12:15) “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;”

Also if you don’t forgive others it’s like destroying the bridge over which you yourself must cross.(Matthew 6: 14,15) “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” In other words your only going to be forgiven by the way you forgive others. Sometimes it is good to just say a general prayer, asking God to forgive you for all your sins even the ones you don’t know about, things you might have done or said, or even thought that displeased the Lord.(Psalm 40:12) “For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head; therefore my heart faileth me.” ( Jeremiah 17: 9,10) “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it. I the Lord search the heart. I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”( Isaiah 64:6) “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. So you see that really in our hearts there is no end to the badness and evil. So if we tried by our own works to get our hearts right with God it would never end. That is why we need Jesus.( Isaiah 53:6 ) “All we like sheep have gone astray: we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”  ( Ephesians 2: 8,9) “For by grace are you saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast.” Remember you can’t keep the birds from flying over your head (the devils evil thoughts) but you can keep them from making a nest in your hair. It is good to have a communion with the Lord and others often, it’s a good time to get our hearts right with the Lord and each other. ( 1 John 1: 7) “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin.” The next important step in prayer after getting our hearts right with the Lord and coming to him with a clean heart is to find a place to pray in private with just you and the Lord.(Matthew 6: 5,6) “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you. They have their reward, But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Of course it is not always possible to do this, that is why the Bible says to “pray without ceasing”.  (1Thessalonians 5:17)  You should always be praying no matter what you are doing and taking to the Lord and listening to him and seeking him for his answers. But you should definitely take some private quite time with the Lord in prayer everyday.

The next step in prayer is to come to the Lord with a thankful heart full of praise. ( Psalm 34:1) “I will bless the Lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” You have to prime the pump to get the water flowing it is the same with prayer, you need to praise the Lord and even raise your hands, this helps to get the Spirit of God flowing. The Lord dwells in the praises of his people. Speaking in tongues really helps too, it is when your spirit is free to praise and speak to the Lord, ( 1 Corinthians 14:5a) ” I would that ye all spake in tongues.” If you don’t have the gift of tongues just ask God for it, and it shall be given you.

There needs to be some times when you have desperate prayer with strong weeping and tears, crying out to the Lord, or maybe sometimes even on your face, or prostrate yourself. This means laying down your whole body and on your face This can be done privately with just you and the Lord or with others in a group.( James 4:7-10) “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ,ye sinners; and purify your hearts ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord , and he shall lift you up.” Maybe if we got more desperate with the Lord we wouldn’t have so many desperate situations come up. What do you think? ( Isaiah 55:6) “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found,call ye upon him while he is near.” ( Jeremiah 29:13) “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Remember to always have faith when you ask God for anything. ( Hebrews 11:6) “But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” You have to quote the terms of the contract ( The Bible) to the contract maker JESUS. Always pray in the name of JESUS and end your prayers in the name of JESUS . ( John 15:16b) “Whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name he may give it you.”

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

Something Missing ?

Posted on by

Do you sometimes feel that there is something missing in your life? Well I can tell you for sure that you just need more of Jesus in your heart and life. Only Jesus and his love can satisfy that longing aching need in the heart of everyone. That’s the way God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit made you. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:26a,27). So if you feel unfulfilled, try filling up on Jesus. “He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He will never leave you or forsake you. “(Hebrews 13:5,8). Jesus washed his disciples feet and when he got to Peter, Peter said, “You shall never wash my feet. “Jesus told him  “if you don’t let me wash your feet then you have no part in me.” Peter then told Jesus, “not my feet only but my hands and my head.” (John 13:4-10). Jesus was trying to teach his disciples a lesson on humility and to illustrate to us all how we need Him to cleanse us every day. Only the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins, and make us ready for the masters use. (1 John 1:7) Jesus wants to live inside of you,and make you happy. “He must increase and I must decrease.”(John 3:30). Please say this prayer with me.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
