reetings,
holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ.
The sermon subject for today is: IF YOU ARE A NEW CONVERT TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT A CURSE IS. A CURSE IS TO WISH GREAT HARM UPON SOMEONE, OR SOMETHING, A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, THERE WAS A CURSE PLACED UPON ADAM, AND A CURSE PLACED UPON EVE. IN THESE VERSES ADAM IS SPEAKING TO GOD, AND HE SAYS, Gn:3:10: And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Gn:3:11: And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? Gn:3:12: And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. Gn:3:13: And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. Gn:3:14: And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Gn:3:15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Gn:3:16: Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Gn:3:17: And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Gn:3:18: Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; Gn:3:19: In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. LITTLE CHILDREN, EVERY TIME THAT YOU HEAR A WOMAN SCREAM IN PAIN, DURING CHILD BIRTH, REMEMBER; THAT IS PART OF THE CURSE THAT GOD PLACED UPON WOMEN. BECAUSE, OF EVE'S TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S COMMANDMENT. WHEN YOU SEE A MAN WORKING, AND SWEATING, REMEMBER THAT IS PART OF THE CURSE THAT GOD PUT UPON MAN, BECAUSE OF ADAM'S TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S COMMAND. EVERY TIME THAT YOU SEE A PERSON BEING CARRIED TO THE GRAVE, REMEMBER DEATH OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE CURSE THAT WAS PUT UPON ALL MANKIND, BECAUSE, OF THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ADAM. FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. Heb:9:27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (KJV) WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, AND SIN WAS IMPUTED UNTO ADAM, SIN WAS ALSO IMPUTED UNTO ALL MANKIND. BECAUSE, OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH ADAM, AND WE ALL DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. THERE ARE THREE ENTITIES TO MAN; BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. THE BODY CAN DIE, AND THE SOUL LIVE ON, OR THE SOUL CAN BE DESTROYED, AND THE BODY LIVE ON. WHEN THE SPIRIT LEAVES THE BODY, THE BODY DIES. 1Cor:15:22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (KJV) THERE ARE CERTAIN CURSES LISTED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO. IF A PERSON TRANSGRESSED THE LAW OF MOSES' HE WENT UNDER THE CURSE OR THE SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. THERE ARE MEN, CHILDREN OF SATAN, THAT WOULD LIKE TO DRAG THE CHILDREN OF GOD BACK UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES'. SO THAT THEY CAN READ THE TITHING LAWS, TO THE CHILDREN OF GOD, FOR GAIN. BUT, REMEMBER THIS SAINTS OF GOD, THE LAW OF MOSES' HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER. IF A PERSON DID NOT KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES TO THE LETTER, THEY WENT UNDER THE CURSE, OR SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION, BECAUSE OF THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE. Dt:27:26: Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. (KJV) THE LAW OF MOSES HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER, IF A PERSON TRANSGRESS ONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS, ONE OF THE RULES OF CONDUCT, SET FORTH IN THE LAW OF MOSES, THEY WENT UNDER THE CURSE, UNDER THE SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN. GOD COMMANDED ALL ISRAEL, TO SUPPORT THE LEVITICAL TRIBE WITH A TAX, THE TITHE. THE WORD TITHE MEANS TEN PER CENT. IF A PERSON WAS SHORT ON THEIR TITHE OF MONEY, PRODUCE, OR LIVESTOCK, THEY WENT UNDER A CURSE OR A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. GOD IS A TREMENDOUS BOOKKEEPER, HE MEASURES ALL THE WATER, IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND, HE EVEN COMPREHENDS THE DUST, HE COUNTS A MAN'S FOOT STEPS, HE EVEN HAS THE HAIR ON A MAN'S HEAD NUMBERED. GOD KNOWS IF A MAN HAS GIVE A TENTH OF ALL HIS INCREASE. THERE WAS NO ONE IN ALL OF ISRAEL THAT COULD KEEP THE TITHING LAW TO THE LETTER, THEREFORE, THEY ALL WENT UNDER THE CURSE. Mal:3:8: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Mal:3:9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Mal:3:10: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. LET ME MENTION THIS SAINTS OF GOD, THE TITHE WAS NOT BROUGHT OVER INTO THE NEW TESTAMENT, BECAUSE KINGS DO NOT TAX THEIR OWN CHILDREN. THEY TAX CHILDREN OF STRANGERS. Mt:17:24: And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? Mt:17:25: He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Mt:17:26: Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. Mt:17:27: Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. CHILDREN OF LIGHT, IF A MAN PREACHES TITHING, AND BUILDS AGAIN THE TITHING LAWS. BUILDS AGAIN, THAT WHICH WAS DESTROYED, WHEN WE WERE BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, BUILDS AGAIN THE TITHING LAWS, OR THE DIETARY LAWS, OR THE SABBATH DAY LAWS, HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. ONE DAY AS I READ THE DICTIONARY I CAME ACROSS THE WORD FRANKENSTIEN. LET ME DEFINE THE WORD FRANKENSTIEN, ANY THING THAT A PERSON BUILDS; THAT KILLS THEM IS A "FRANKENSTIEN." Gal:2:18: For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. Gal:2:19: For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. Gal:2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal:2:21: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (KJV) YOU MAY WONDER, CHILD OF GOD, HOW A PERSON CAN BUILD AGAIN, LAWS THAT PERTAIN TO THE LAWS THAT GOD GAVE MOSES. IF A MAN PREACHES, OR TEACHES, THAT GOD'S CHILDREN SHOULD NOT EAT CERTAIN ANIMALS, OR BIRDS, OR FISH, BECAUSE THEY ARE UNCLEAN, HE WILL BUILD AGAIN THE DIETARY LAWS. AND IF HE EATS ONE DROP OF BLOOD, OR ONE BITE OF PORK OR CATFISH OR RABBIT, HE WILL HAVE BROKEN THE DIETARY LAWS. IF A MAN PREACHES OR TEACHES THAT GOD'S CHILDREN SHOULD NOT WORK ON THE SABBATH. I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL BUILD AGAIN THE SABBATH DAY LAWS. AND IF HE WERE TO CARRY ANYTHING THAT IS A BURDEN ON THE SABBATH DAY, OR COOK A MEAL, OR BUY OR SELL, HE WILL HAVE BROKEN THE SABBATH DAY LAWS. A PERSON CANNOT PREACH ONE WAY, AND LIVE ANOTHER. Rom:2:21: Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Rom:2:22: Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Rom:2:23: Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? Rom:2:24: For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. LISTEN CAREFULLY SAINTS OF GOD, WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES', WE ARE NOT UNDER THE SABBATH LAWS. THE SABBATH DAY WAS A SHADOW OF THAT TO COME, WHICH IS CHRIST. Col:2:16: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Col:2:17: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. SAINTS OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, COMMANDED A MAN TO TAKE UP HIS BED AND WALK ON THE SABBATH DAY. RIGHTEOUSNESS BY THE LAW OF MOSES CAME TO AN END, WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS. THEREFORE, THERE WAS NO TRANSGRESSION FOR THE MAN THAT TOOK UP HIS BED AND WALKED ON THE SABBATH DAY. Jn:5:1: After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Jn:5:2: Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. Jn:5:3: In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. Jn:5:4: For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. Jn:5:5: And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. Jn:5:6: When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? Jn:5:7: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jn:5:8: Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. Jn:5:9: And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. Jn:5:10: The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. Jn:5:11: He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. SAINTS OF GOD, THERE IS ANOTHER ACT THAT WOULD BRING A CURSE ON MEN, AND WOMEN, UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT. THAT I WOULD LIKE TO FAMILIARIZES YOU WITH, CHILD OF GOD. AND THAT CURSE IS RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF, Zec:5:1: Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. Zec:5:2: And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. Zec:5:3: Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. Zec:5:4: I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. BELOVED OF GOD, THERE IS A VERY HIGH PRICE TO BE PAID BY THE THIEF, AND BY THE PERSON THAT SWEARS FALSELY. WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE NOT TO SWEAR, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. WE MAY AFFIRM. WHICH MEANS, THAT WE, AS CHRISTIANS, WILL TELL THE TRUTH, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, WITHOUT SWEARING. STOP, AND THINK BEFORE YOU MALICIOUSLY CONVERT THAT WHICH BELONGS TO ANOTHER, WITH THE INTENT TO DEPRIVE THE OWNER OF THE USE OF IT. STOP, AND THINK, OF THE PRICE TO BE PAID. BEFORE YOU MAKE YOURSELF A THIEF, OR A PERJURER, BECAUSE THE PRICE IS VERY HIGH. FINALLY BRETHREN, I WOULD LIKE TO ACQUAINT YOU WITH THE CURSE THAT COMES UPON A PERSON HANGED UPON A TREE. CHRIST JESUS HAS REMOVED THE CURSE OF THE LAW OF MOSES' FROM US, GOD'S CHILDREN. Gal:3:11: But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. Gal:3:12: And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Gal:3:13: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal:3:14: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
