reetings,
holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ.
The sermon subject for today is: LET ME AT THIS TIME INTRODUCE TO YOU, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHO IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST? HE IS THE SON OF GOD. WHEN YOU HEAR A MAN CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD TAKE NOTICE. FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. AND, TRULY BELIEVES WHAT HE CONFESSES, GOD DWELLETH IN HIM, AND HE IN GOD. 1Jn:4:15: Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. (KJV) JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, FORMED FROM THE WORD OF GOD, THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD WAS A SECRET. Prv:30:4: Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? (KJV) JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S DARLING SON, BEFORE HIS BIRTH TO THE VIRGIN MARY, WAS CALLED BY THE NAME "THE WORD OF GOD." NOTICE AS JESUS CHRIST SPEAKS TO JONAH. Jon:1:1: Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Jon:1:2: Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. SAINTS OF GOD, JESUS BY THE NAME, THE WORD OF THE LORD, CAME TO ELIJAH IN THE CAVE, 1Kgs:19:9: And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? (KJV) CHILDREN OF LIGHT, NOTICE IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE BY WHAT NAME THE SON OF GOD IS CALLED. Rv:19:12: His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. Rv:19:13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, OR EVER SHALL BE FORMED, FORMED FROM THE WORD OF GOD THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE, FORMED IN THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF , THE FATHER. FORMED EQUAL TO THE FATHER. GOD BY JESUS CHRIST CREATED ALL THINGS. Eph:3:9: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (KJV) SAINTS OF GOD, IT WAS THIS SAME JESUS CHRIST THAT GOD, THE FATHER, SENT INTO THE WORLD. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE WAS IN THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD WAS MADE BY HIM, AND THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. Jn:1:10: He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. (KJV) HOLY CHILDREN I BELIEVE THAT THE GREATEST SINGLE EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAS THE RECONCILIATION OF GOD, AND MAN. THE EVENT IS RECORDED IN THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO Jn:20:19: Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. Jn:20:20: And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Jn:20:21: Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. Jn:20:22: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Jn:20:23: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. HOLY CHILDREN, YOU MAY WONDER WHY I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE GREATEST SINGLE EVENT, IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THE RECONCILIATION OF GOD, AND MAN WAS SO IMPORTANT, THAT GOD THE FATHER SENT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD FOR THIS PURPOSE. Jn:3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jn:3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Jn:3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. THE RECONCILIATION OF GOD, AND MAN, WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT JESUS CHRIST WENT TO THE CROSS FOR THIS PURPOSE. AND, IT WAS JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF THAT CAME, AND BREATHED UPON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST. WHEN JESUS CHRIST BREATH ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST, THE DISCIPLES RECEIVED THE BORN AGAIN EXPERIENCE. THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL CAME TO LIFE. THAT PART OF A MAN THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY CAME TO LIFE. IF YOU ARE A NEW COVERT TO THE CHRIST RELIGION, YOU MAY NOT KNOW HOW THE SOUL WILL LIVE FOR EVER. THE SOUL OF MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. 2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (KJV) BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, WHEN JESUS BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES, THE DISCIPLES BECAME NEW CREATURES, A NEW CREATION, OLD THINGS PASSED AWAY, ALL THINGS BECAME NEW. 2Cor:5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (KJV) WHEN CHRIST BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST THE DISCIPLES BECAME WHOLE, OR HOLY. THEY HAD A LIVING PHYSICAL BODY, A LIVING SOUL, AND A LIVING SPIRIT. WHEN A PERSON RECEIVES TH HOLY GHOST THE ANOINTING THEY RECEIVE WILL TEACH THEM, AND BRING THEM INTO ALL TRUTH. 1Jn:2:27: But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (KJV) WHEN CHRIST BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST, THE KINGDOM OF GOD CAME. FOR WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD? THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT, AND DRINK ; BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PEACE, AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST. LOVE CAME. FOR WHAT IS LOVE? GOD IS LOVE. THE POWER CAME TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. LISTEN AS I READ WHAT THE APOSTLE JOHN SAYS ABOUT A PERSON THAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT. 1Jn:3:1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1Jn:3:2: Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1Jn:3:3: And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1Jn:3:4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1Jn:3:5: And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jn:3:6: Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jn:3:7: Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jn:3:8: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn:3:9: Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1Jn:3:10: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. DID YOU NOTICE SAINTS OF GOD, THAT WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM; AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. WHEN CHRIST BREATHED ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST. SALVATION CAME. Ti:3:5: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (KJV) WHAT IS SALVATION? WE THAT HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST JESUS, AND HAVE RECEIVED THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, HAVE BECOME A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. OUR SINS HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY BY THE WATER OF OUR BAPTISM. AS THE APOSTLE PETER SAYS. Acts:2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (KJV) AND IN THE BODY OF CHRIST IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, THAT GIVES US A CONTINUOUS CLEANSING. 1Jn: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. EACH INDIVIDUAL PERSON IS KNOWN AS A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, BUT, AS A WHOLE, ALL CHRISTIANS ARE KNOWN AS THE BODY OF CHRIST. 1Cor:12:26: And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 1Cor:12:27: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular WE, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE NOT SAVED FROM THE WRATH OF GOD THAT SHALL COME UPON ALL IN SIN, BY OUR OWN LIFE, BUT WE ARE SAVED BY THE LIFE THAT CHRIST JESUS LIVED. Rom:5:10: For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (KJV) NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST SINCE YOU BELIEVED? ARE YOU ALIVE BOTH PHYSICAL, AND SPIRITUALLY? IF NOT ? WHAT NAME WERE YOU BAPTIZED IN. THE APOSTLE PAUL MET SOME OF THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN THE BAPTIST, AND HE ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST SINCE THEY BELIEVED? AND THEY WERE NOT ACQUAINTED WITH THE HOLY GHOST. Acts:19:1: And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, Acts:19:2: He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. Acts:19:3: And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Acts:19:4: Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. Acts:19:5: When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts:19:6: And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. Acts:19:7: And all the men were about twelve. SAINTS OF GOD, THE RECEIVING OF THE HOLY GHOST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IN THIS LIFE TIME. THEREFORE I URGE YOU TO REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SIN, THAT YOU MIGHT BE BORN OF WATER, AND OF THE SPIRIT. EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN OF WATER, AND OF THE SPIRIT, THEY CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Jn:3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jn:3:4: Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jn:3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jn:3:6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jn:3:7: Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS A PERSON MUST DO IF THEY PLAN ON MAKING HEAVEN THEIR ETERNAL HOME. THEY MUST HAVE FAITH, AND THEY MUST PLACE THEIR FAITH, AND TRUST, IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR THEIR SALVATION, THEY MUST PLACE THEIR FAITH, AND TRUST, IN THE BLOOD JESUS SHED ON CALVARY'S CROSS FOR THEIR REDEMPTION. THEY MUST REPENT, THEY MUST BE BORN OF WATER, BAPTIZED, AND BORN OF THE SPIRIT, RECEIVING THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION. THEY MUST EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AND WE EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WHEN WE PARTAKE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER. THEY MUST BE OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, THEY MUST WORK IN THE HARVEST. AND, I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT YOU MUST WASH THE FEET OF THE SAINTS, AND HAVE THEM WASH YOUR FEET. LET ME AT THIS TIME SAY, MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PRECEDES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. NOW I, AS AN AMBASSADOR OF CHRIST, BESEECH YOU TO BE RECONCILED TO GOD. 2Cor:5:18: And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2Cor:5:19: To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2Cor:5:20: Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2Cor:5:21: For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (KJV) MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU, AND YOUR FAMILY.
