reetings,
holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ.
The sermon subject for today is: WE CANNOT SEE SATAN, BUT THE WORD OF GOD MAKES HIS PRESENCE KNOWN. PS:119:105: THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET, AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH. CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY. MT:12:37: FOR BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE JUSTIFIED, AND BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED. THE WORD OF THE LORD IS, "THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT," IT PROTECTS THE SAINTS OF GOD, BUT DESTROYS THE WICKED. EPH:6:17: AND TAKE THE HELMET OF SALVATION, AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD: JESUS CHRIST AS THE WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN IN GOD THE FATHER FROM EVERLASTING. MI:5:2: BUT THOU, BETHLEHEM EPHRATAH, THOUGH THOU BE LITTLE AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF JUDAH, YET OUT OF THEE SHALL HE COME FORTH UNTO ME THAT IS TO BE RULER IN ISRAEL; WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING. IN THE BEGINNING BEFORE THE SUN, AND THE MOON GOD THE FATHER SPOKE, AND HE TOOK HIS WORD, AND SHAPED THE WORD IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE WORD OF GOD BECAME THE SON OF GOD. JN:1:1: IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED OR EVER SHALL BE FORMED. IS:43:10: YE ARE MY WITNESSES, SAITH THE LORD, AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN: THAT YE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ME, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME. IS:43:11: I, EVEN I, AM THE LORD; AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO SAVIOUR. WHEN GOD THE FATHER CREATED JESUS CHRIST, HE CREATED JESUS IN HIS EXPRESS IMAGE. JESUS LOOKS EXACTLY AS GOD THE FATHER. HEB:1:2: HATH IN THESE LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, WHOM HE HATH APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, BY WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS; HEB:1:3: WHO BEING THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORY, AND THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, AND UPHOLDING ALL THINGS BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER, WHEN HE HAD BY HIMSELF PURGED OUR SINS, SAT DOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY ON HIGH; WHEN GOD CREATED THE LORD JESUS, HE CREATED HIM EQUAL TO HIMSELF. FOR ANYTHING TWO THINGS TO BE EQUAL THEY MUST BE IDENTICAL. THEREFORE WAS JESUS CREATED WITH THE SAME POWER AS THE FATHER, WAS HE OF THE SAME SUBSTANCE AS THE FATHER, IS HE OMNIPRESENT, PRESENT AT ALL PLACES AT THE SAME TIME AS THE FATHER, IS JESUS OMNISCIENT HAVING INFINITE KNOWLEDGE AS THE FATHER? YES JESUS CHRIST WAS CREATED EQUAL TO THE FATHER. PHIL:2:6: WHO, BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD, THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD: WHEN GOD THE FATHER CREATED JESUS HE CREATED HIM A QUICKENING SPIRIT; A LIFE GIVING SPIRIT. 1COR:15:45: AND SO IT IS WRITTEN, THE FIRST MAN ADAM WAS MADE A LIVING SOUL; THE LAST ADAM WAS MADE A QUICKENING SPIRIT. IN THE BEGINNING GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT, AND THERE WAS LIGHT. GOD IS LIGHT, AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. 1JN:1:5: THIS THEN IS THE MESSAGE WHICH WE HAVE HEARD OF HIM, AND DECLARE UNTO YOU, THAT GOD IS LIGHT, AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE; WHAT IS A CREATURE? A CREATURE IS SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED. COL:1:15: WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE: JESUS, GOD’S SON, WAS THE BEGINNING OF CREATION. RV:3:14: AND UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THE LAODICEANS WRITE; THESE THINGS SAITH THE AMEN, THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD; ALL THINGS VISIBLE, AND INVISIBLE WERE CREATED BY JESUS CHRIST. 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: COL:1:15: WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE: COL:1:16: FOR BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN HEAVEN, AND THAT ARE IN EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS, OR PRINCIPALITIES, OR POWERS: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM: COL:1:17: AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST. BEFORE THE ANGEL ANNOUNCED TO MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS, THAT SHE WOULD HAVE A CHILD, AND THAT HIS NAME WOULD BE CALLED JESUS; THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD WAS A MYSTERY. 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? IT WAS BY THE (LIVING WORD OF GOD) THAT GOD FRAMED THE WORLDS. HEB:11:3: THROUGH FAITH WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD OF GOD, SO THAT THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN WERE NOT MADE OF THINGS WHICH DO APPEAR. BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, HE APPEARED TO MEN BY THE NAME "THE WORD OF THE LORD." JESUS, AS THE WORD OF THE LORD, APPEARED TO JEREMIAH. JER:1:4: THEN THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME, SAYING, JER:1:5: BEFORE I FORMED THEE IN THE BELLY I KNEW THEE; AND BEFORE THOU CAMEST FORTH OUT OF THE WOMB I SANCTIFIED THEE, AND I ORDAINED THEE A PROPHET UNTO THE NATIONS. JER:1:6: THEN SAID I, AH, LORD GOD! BEHOLD, I CANNOT SPEAK: FOR I AM A CHILD. JER:1:7: BUT THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, SAY NOT, I AM A CHILD: FOR THOU SHALT GO TO ALL THAT I SHALL SEND THEE, AND WHATSOEVER I COMMAND THEE THOU SHALT SPEAK. JESUS, AS THE WORD OF THE LORD, APPEARED UNTO ELIJAH. 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? THERE ARE SOME UNIQUE DIFFERENCES IN GOD THE FATHER, AND IN GOD THE SON , AND IN GOD THE HOLY GHOST. THIS IS ONE DIFFERENCE IN GOD THE FATHER. NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD THE FATHER AT ANY TIME. JN:1:18: NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER, HE HATH DECLARED HIM. JESUS HAS THE ONLY NAME UNDER HEAVEN WERE BY MEN MAY BE SAVED. I BELIEVE THAT THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE MASTER KEY TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ACTS:4:12: NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. 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. THIS IS A UNIQUE QUALITY ABOUT THE HOLY GHOST. IF A MAN SPEAKS A WORD AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM NEITHER IN THIS WORLD NOR IN THE WORLD TO COME. THE BIBLE IS THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD. I BELIEVE THAT THE KING JAMES TRANSLATION IS ACCURATE, CORRECT, INFALLIBLE. THE BIBLE IS TRUE FROM COVER TO COVER. DIFFERENT MEN WERE INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD GOD’S INSPIRED WORDS. BUT ALL THE WORDS WERE RECORDED BY INSPIRATION. 2TM:3:16: ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS: 2TM:3:17: THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE PERFECT, THROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS. GOD SPOKE AND HIS WORDS BECAME LAW. WHAT IS LAW? LAWS ARE RULES OF CONDUCT SET FORTH BY AUTHORITY. WHAT IS AUTHORITY? ONE THAT HAS THE POWER TO GIVE COMMANDS, DEMAND OBEDIENCE, AND PUNISH THE TRANSGRESSORS. TO MAKE HEAVEN A PERSON’S ETERNAL HOME THEY MUST STRIVE LAWFULLY. 2TM:2:5: AND IF A MAN ALSO STRIVE FOR MASTERIES, YET IS HE NOT CROWNED, EXCEPT HE STRIVE LAWFULLY. THERE ARE MEN, AND WOMAN, CHILDREN OF SATAN, THAT PREACH THAT IF YOU BREAK ONE OF GOD’S LAWS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CONFESS THAT YOU HAVE BROKEN THE LAW AND GOD WILL FORGIVE YOU. BUT THEY DO NOT USE THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE AS THEIR TEXT. THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD WORTH LOSING YOUR SOUL FOR. HEB:10:26: FOR IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS, HEB:10:27: BUT A CERTAIN FEARFUL LOOKING FOR OF JUDGMENT AND FIERY INDIGNATION, WHICH SHALL DEVOUR THE ADVERSARIES. HEB:10:28: HE THAT DESPISED MOSES' LAW DIED WITHOUT MERCY UNDER TWO OR THREE WITNESSES: HEB:10:29: OF HOW MUCH SORER PUNISHMENT, SUPPOSE YE, SHALL HE BE THOUGHT WORTHY, WHO HATH TRODDEN UNDER FOOT THE SON OF GOD, AND HATH COUNTED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT, WHEREWITH HE WAS SANCTIFIED, AN UNHOLY THING, AND HATH DONE DESPITE UNTO THE SPIRIT OF GRACE? FLEE FROM EVEN THE APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 1THES:5:22: ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. THE BIBLE IS ACTUALLY TWO WILLS, TWO TESTAMENTS, IF A MAN MAKES TWO TESTAMENTS. AT THE DEATH OF THE TESTATOR IT IS ONLY THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT THAT IS VALID. HEB:9:16: FOR WHERE A TESTAMENT IS, THERE MUST ALSO OF NECESSITY BE THE DEATH OF THE TESTATOR. THEREFORE, SINCE THE DEATH OF CHRIST JESUS THE WORDS RECORDED IN NEW TESTAMENT ARE VALID; IT IS BY THE NEW TESTAMENT THAT WE SHALL INHERIT SUCH MARVELOUS GIFTS AS ETERNAL LIFE, THE IMMORTAL BODY, AND THE HEAVENLY CITY NEW JERUSALEM. THE APOSTLE PAUL RECORDS THAT IT IS BY HIS GOSPEL WE SHALL BE JUDGED. ROM:2:16: IN THE DAY WHEN GOD SHALL JUDGE THE SECRETS OF MEN BY JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT A SAINT ABSOLUTELY MUST DO TO INHERIT WHEN THEY ARE JUDGED. THEY MUST REPENT. TURN FROM DOING THEIR OWN WILL TO DOING THE WILL OF GOD THE FATHER. LK:13:5: I TELL YOU, NAY: BUT, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH. THE ELECT OF GOD MUST PLACE THEIR FAITH, AND THEIR TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS FOR THEIR SALVATION. ACTS:16:31: AND THEY SAID, BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, AND THY HOUSE. THE CHILDREN OF GOD MUST BE BAPTIZED. 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. ETERNAL LIFE IS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, 1JN:5:11: AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. AND THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY I KNOW TO GET INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND THAT IS THROUGH THE WATER OF BAPTISM. GAL:3:27: FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST. WHEN GOD’S ELECT ARE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, THEY COME INTO THE PROMISE THAT THEY SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. IT IS THE HOLY GHOST THAT BRINGS LIFE TO THE INNER MAN, THE SOUL. 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. EXCEPT THE SAINTS EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS, THEY WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN THEM IN THE WORLD TO COME. WE EAT OF THE FLESH, AND DRINK OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS WHEN WE PARTAKE OF THE LORD’S SUPPER. MT:26:26: AND AS THEY WERE EATING, JESUS TOOK BREAD, AND BLESSED IT, AND BRAKE IT, AND GAVE IT TO THE DISCIPLES, AND SAID, TAKE, EAT; THIS IS MY BODY. MT:26:27: AND HE TOOK THE CUP, AND GAVE THANKS, AND GAVE IT TO THEM, SAYING, DRINK YE ALL OF IT; MT:26:28: FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHICH IS SHED FOR MANY FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS. JN:6:53: THEN JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE EAT THE FLESH OF THE SON OF MAN, AND DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN YOU. BELOVED YOU MUST BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION. ROM:10:9: 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. ROM:10:10: FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION. SAINTS OF GOD YOU MUST FILL YOUR LIFE WITH GOOD WORKS. FOR FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD. JMS:2:17: EVEN SO FAITH, IF IT HATH NOT WORKS, IS DEAD, BEING ALONE. SAINTS OF GOD YOU MUST BE FRUITFUL. JN:15:1: I AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER IS THE HUSBANDMAN. JN:15:2: EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: AND EVERY BRANCH THAT BEARETH FRUIT, HE PURGETH IT, THAT IT MAY BRING FORTH MORE FRUIT. YOU MUST WASH THE FEET OF THE SAINTS, AND ALLOW THEM TO WASH YOUR FEET. FOR SIN IS ON THE FEET. JN:13:7: JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHAT I DO THOU KNOWEST NOT NOW; BUT THOU SHALT KNOW HEREAFTER. JN:13:8: PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, THOU SHALT NEVER WASH MY FEET. JESUS ANSWERED HIM, IF I WASH THEE NOT, THOU HAST NO PART WITH ME. JN:13:9: SIMON PETER SAITH UNTO HIM, LORD, NOT MY FEET ONLY, BUT ALSO MY HANDS AND MY HEAD. JN:13:10: JESUS SAITH TO HIM, HE THAT IS WASHED NEEDETH NOT SAVE TO WASH HIS FEET, BUT IS CLEAN EVERY WHIT: AND YE ARE CLEAN, BUT NOT ALL. THE SCRIPTURES THAT I HAVE MENTIONED ARE COMMANDMENTS TO BRING YOU INTO -PERFECTION. THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE AS CHRISTIANS ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT DO. THESE WORDS LISTED IN THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE MORTAL SINS. MORTAL SINS WILL DESTROY THE SOUL. IT IS THE SOUL OF MAN THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY, FOR THE SOUL IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. (2COR:4:16.) GAL:5:19: NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE MANIFEST, WHICH ARE THESE; ADULTERY, FORNICATION, UNCLEANNESS, LASCIVIOUSNESS, GAL:5:20: IDOLATRY, WITCHCRAFT, HATRED, VARIANCE, EMULATIONS, WRATH, STRIFE, SEDITIONS, HERESIES, GAL:5:21: ENVYINGS, MURDERS, DRUNKENNESS, REVELLINGS, AND SUCH LIKE: OF THE WHICH I TELL YOU BEFORE, AS I HAVE ALSO TOLD YOU IN TIME PAST, THAT THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. RV:21:8: BUT THE FEARFUL, AND UNBELIEVING, AND THE ABOMINABLE, AND MURDERERS, AND WHOREMONGERS, AND SORCERERS, AND IDOLATERS, AND ALL LIARS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH. IF YOU WILL NOT COMMIT THE SINS LISTED IN THE WORKS OF THE FLESH YOU WILL NEVER COME INTO CONDEMNATION . ROM:8:1: THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT .
