“The NT Born Again & the Sure Mercies of David – 101” …Blog.



“The NT Born Again & the Sure Mercies of David – 101” …Blog.

*** (John 12:44-to-48) But Jesus cried out and said, He who believes on Me does Not believe on Me but on Him [God] Who sent Me [Jesus].
(John 12:45) And he who sees Me [Jesus] sees Him [God] Who sent Me.
(John 12:46) I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes on Me should not remain in darkness.
(John 12:47) And if any one hears My Words and does Not believe, I do Not [Now] judge him [Ephesians 1:20-to-23], for I do Not come to judge the world [This Time], but to save the world.
(John 12:48) He who rejects Me and does Not receive My Words has ONE who judges him; the Word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

*** (Hebrews 11:27) By faith he [Moses] forsook Egypt, Not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing Him [God] -> Who is invisible. [Exodus 24:9-10-11]

*** (Colossians 1:9-to-20) For this cause we also, since the day we heard, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,
(Col 1:10) that you might walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every work and increasing in the knowledge of God,
(Col 1:11) being empowered with all power [Ephesians 1:13-14], according to the might of His glory, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness, [Romans 8:9]
(Col 1:12) giving thanks to the Father [God], Who has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.
(Col 1:13)  For He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son; [Jesus] [John 7:38-39]
(Col 1:14) in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.
(Col 1:15) Who [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the First-born of all creation.
(Col 1:16) For ALL things were created in Him [Genesis 1:26], the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether Thrones or Dominions or Principalities or Powers, ALL things were created through Him and for Him.
(Col 1:17) And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.
(Col 1:18) And He is the Head of the body, the church, Who is the Beginning, the First-born from the dead, [Revelation 1:17-18] that He may be pre-eminent in all things.
(Col 1:19) For it pleased the Father [God] that in Him [Jesus] all fullness should dwell.
(Col 1:20) And through Him [Jesus] having made peace through the blood of His cross, it pleased the Father [God] to reconcile [2Corinthains 5:18-to-21] ALL things to Himself [God] through Him [Jesus], whether the things on earth or the things in Heaven.

“Who is the “I AM” of Scripture – 101” …Blog.

*** (Acts 17:11) And these were more noble = than those of Thessalonica, = in that they received = the Word = with all readiness of mind = and = searched the Scriptures = “DAILY” = to see if those things were so [or Not].

Many people speak about GOD… NOT Realizing that it is “CHRIST JESUS”… Who is being “REFERED TO”…! Christ Jesus said SO: “John 12:44-to-48”…! Why is that…? Because the “MANY” [Matthew 7:21-22-23], Who say they are Christians… “Do NOT Know” their Bibles: the Holy Word of God”…! They have NOT taken the ‘Time & Effort’… to carefully examine the Bible Text: to see “What It Really Says”…! Occasionally a “Jehovah Witness” will come to my Door. I simply ask them, “Who Raised the Body of Jesus!” They tell me God did: not knowing the Truth of Scripture! Christ Jesus CLAIMED: “TO RAISE HIS OWN BODY”…! Do You know where those “EVIDENCES”… are found in His Holy Word…?

*** (Joh 2:19-to22) Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.
(Joh 2:20) Then the Jews said, This temple was forty-six years building, and will you rear it up in three days?
(Joh 2:21) But He [Jesus] spoke of the temple of His body.
(Joh 2:22) Therefore when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

*** (John 10:17-18) Therefore My Father [God] loves Me [Jesus], because I lay down My life so that I [Jesus] might take it again.
(Joh 10:18) No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I [Jesus] have received this commandment from My Father [God].

*** (Hebrews 1:5-to-8) For to ‘which’ of the angels [None!] = did He [God] = say at ‘any’ time, = “You are My Son, = this day I [God] = have ‘begotten’ You [Jesus]?” = And again, = “I will be to Him [Jesus] a Father [God], = and = He [Jesus] = shall be to Me [God] = a Son?"
(Heb 1:6) And again, = when He [God] = brings in the First-born [Jesus] = into the world, = He [God] says, = “And let ‘all’ the angels of God = “WORSHIP” = Him [Jesus].”
(Heb 1:7) And of ‘the angels’ = He [God] says, = “Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.”
(Heb 1:8) But to the Son [Jesus] = He [God] says, = “Your throne, = O God [Jesus], = is forever and ever. = A scepter of ‘righteousness’ = is the scepter of = Your [Jesus] kingdom.

“Is ‘Jesus’ God? – 101”…Blog.
A Careful Examination of the Bible TEXT… reveals such TRUTH…! In the above Scriptures… “Hebrews 1:5-to-8”… I have simply “Bracketed” the TEXT:  [like this] to simply show WHAT: the Bible Text REALLY SAYS…! Please take the TIME to carefully EXAMINE the above TEXT… and “WHOM is…SPEAKING ABOUT WHO”…!

*** (Psalms 110:1) A Psalm of David. The LORD Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I [God] place Your [Jesus] enemies as Your footstool.

*** (Isaiah 55:3) Bow down your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the: sure mercies of David.

*** (John 1:17) For the Law came through Moses, but Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ.

“It is ‘Finished!’ – 101”…Blog. [1/2]
“It is ‘Finished!’ – 201”…Blog. [2/2]
*** (Matthew 22:41-to-46) While the Pharisees were gathered, Jesus asked them,
(Matt 22:42) saying, What do you think of Christ? Whose son is He? They say to Him, David's.
(Matt 22:43) He [Jesus] said to them, How then does Davidby the Spiritcall him Lord, saying,
(Matt 22:44) "the LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right until I make Your enemies Your footstool for Your feet?"
(Matt 22:45) If David then calls Him Lord, how is He his son?
(Matt 22:46) And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day to question Him anymore. [Isaiah 55:3]

*** (Luke 20:41-to-44) And He said to them, How do they say that Christ is the Son of David?
(Luke 20:42) Even David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
(Luke 20:43) until I place Your enemies as Your footstool."
(Luke 20:44) David then calls Him Lord; how then is He his son? [Isaiah 55:3]

*** (Acts 2:33-to-40) Therefore [Jesus] being exalted to the right of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit [John 7:38-39], He has poured out this which you now see and hear.
(Act 2:34) For David has Not ascended into the heavens, but he says himself, "The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
(Act 2:35) until I place Your enemies as a footstool to Your feet."
(Act 2:36) Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God made this same Jesus, Whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ [Messiah].
(Act 2:37) And hearing this, they were stabbed in the heart, and said to Peter and to the other apostles, Men, brothers, what shall we do?
(Acts 2:38) Then Peter said to them, Repent [Luke 24:44-to-48] and be baptized [1Corinthians 12:13], every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ to remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [Acts 15:8-9]
(Acts 2:39) For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call. [Romans 10:9-10]
(Acts 2:40) And with many other words he earnestly testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.

*** (Hebrews 5:9) And being perfected, He [Jesus] became the Author of eternal salvation to “ALL” those who obey Him, [John 7:38-39]

It is ONLY BY…the Love, Mercy & Grace of God… that we have Salvation in the “Finished Work of Redemption”… by the Passover Lamb of God [1Cor 5:7]… Christ Jesus the Messiah [The Anointed One]. IF there is ONE Book… that the NT Born Again… really needs to Understand: it is the Book of Hebrews in the New Testament! The New Covenant… “REPLACES”… the First Covenant of the Law…! The LAW could Never make the Conscience “CLEAR & FORGIVEN”… because those OT Sacrifices were… PRACTICED ‘each & every’ day…! Recently I drove by a Burger King and smelled that cooking meat. Can You imagine, the OT Jew, SMELLED that smell of the Sin Sacrifice… “ALL The TIME”…! Even the High Priest, [Hebrews 7:27] sacrificed for His Own Sins: before Sacrificing the Sacrifice… that the Sinner had brought…! Christ Jesus the Messiah, the Passover Sacrifice… OFFERED HIMSELF… Once for All SIN… for All Time…! May I simply Suggest: that perhaps You read the Book of Hebrews: Over & Over Again… for 30 days…?

*** (Hebrews 9:11-TO-15) But when Christ had become a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building
(Heb 9:12) nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered once for all into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
(Heb 9:13) For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh,
(Heb 9:14) how much more shall the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God) purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
(Heb 9:15)  And for this cause He is the Mediator of the new covenant, so that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant [The LAW], those who are called [John 6:37 & 6:44] might receive the Promise of eternal inheritance.

Why do People… CLAIM to Know Christ Jesus as their Savior & Lord…? And then are Completely Ignorant about HOW Salvation comes About…?

*** (Galatians 2:16) Knowing that a man is “Not Justified”: -> by works of the Law: -> but through Faith in Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ: -> that we might be Justified by the faith in Christ: -> and ‘Not’ by works of the Law. For ALL flesh -> will ‘Not’ be justified: ->by works of law.

*** (Galatians 3:11) Now it is obvious that No One is Justified in the sight of God by the LAW, because "The righteous will live by Faith."

*** (Galatians 3:2-3) This ONLY I would learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, OR by hearing of faith? [John 7:38-39 & Acts 15:8-9 & Ephesians 1:13-14]
(Gal 3:3) Are you so Foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, do you NOW perfect yourself in the flesh?

“MANY”… miss that the Holy Spirit... “John 7:38-39”... and the Spiritual Baptism... “1Corinthians 12:13 & Ephesians 4:5”... is a “Divine Transaction”: Done by “GOD ALONE!” Did ‘Some’ purposely miss.... “Acts 15:8-9”... where GOD sees their “Hearts”... and HE ‘Only’... gives them: His Holy Spirit… “Ephesians 4:30 & Romans 8:9 & 2Corinthains 1:21-22”!

“Labor Day 2014 – 101” …Blog.



“Labor Day 2014 – 101” …Blog.
Did You like the ‘Drawing’ I used for this Labor Day Blog…? I thought to add a little humor [Very Little]…! Many times we celebrate a Holiday, and do NOT even know the reason for IT…! Of course, when it is a Paid Holiday, “Who can Complain”…? Now, I can even hear in the background some “Housewife Saying”… “Yes but When do I get a Labor Day Holiday”…? …LOL! Many do NOT see their Employment as a Blessing from God! Try being Unemployed for Over a Year… and then You will be THANKFUL… for Any Job! I cried because I had No Shoes… ‘UNTIL’… I saw a Man with NO Feet…!
(1Thessaloinians 5:18) In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

*** (Proverbs 16:31) The gray head is a crown of glory, [ONLY] IF it is found in the way of righteousness.

*** (Job 5:6-to-9) For affliction does not come forth from the dust, nor does trouble spring up out of the ground;
(Job 5:7) but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
(Job 5:8) Truly, I would seek to God, and to God I would put my plea,
(Job 5:9) Who is doing great things, even beyond searching; marvelous things without number,

*** (Psalms 75:4-to-7) I said to the proud, Do not boast; and to the wicked, Do not lift up the horn;
(Psa 75:5) do not lift up your horn on high; nor speak with a stiff neck.
(Psa 75:6) For PROMOTION [Demotion also] comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
(Psa 75:7) But God is the judge; He puts Down one and sets Up another.

Labor Day: What it Means…? Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. [From USDOL]

Labor Day Legislation! Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement developed to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. During the year four more states — Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York — created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. [From USDOL]

*** (Ephesians 2:8-9-10) For by grace you are saved through faith, and that NOT of yourselves, it is the gift of God,
(Eph 2:9) NOT of works, lest anyone should boast.
(Eph 2:10) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

*** (Titus 3:5) NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, [John 7:38-39 & Ephesians 1:13-14 & Romans 8:9]

*** (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God; and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man.
(Eccl 12:14) For God shall bring every work into judgment; with ‘every’ secret thing; ‘whether’ it is Good; or ‘whether’ Evil.

*** (Isaiah 6:8) And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us [Genesis 1:26-27]? Then I said: –> Here am I: –> send me!

“What are the ‘Greater Works’ – 101” …Blog.
*** (Micah 6:8) He has shown you; O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you; but to do justice; and to love mercy; and to walk humbly ‘with’ your God?

When ONE is Truly Born Again… by the Holy Spirit of God… He has a “Plan” for our lives. These ‘Many’ are often thinking in an Earthly Mindset! What “Relationship, Good Job, Home, Vehicle, Etc.” does God have for Me…? Seldom do they THINK: of what “Responsibility” does GOD have for me to DO: for His Kingdom…? Often they may think in terms of “What Kind of Ministry”… does God have for Me? In reality, there is ONE and Only ONE Issue…! Whatever God has for You… OR: “Doesn’t have for You”: the ISSUE is still the SAME…! Can you guess what it is… before reading any further…? Simple Question: Are You a “Faithful Steward”… of the Grace which God has ENTRUSTED to… “You”…?

*** (1Corinthains 4:1-2) So let a man think of us as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
(1Cor 4:2) And the rest, it is sought among Stewards that one be found “FAITHFUL”.

*** (Luke 17:10) So likewise you; when you shall have done “All” the things “Commanded” you, say; We are unprofitable servants; for we have done what was [ONLY] Our = ‘DUTY’ To Do.

*** (Philippians 2:13) For it is God Who works in you both to will; and to do of His good pleasure.

*** (Jeremiah 29:11-12-13) For I know the purposes which I am purposing for you, says the LORD Jehovah; purposes of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
(Jer 29:12) Then you shall call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
(Jer 29:13) And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

*** (1Peter 1:7) so that the genuineness of your Faith; which is more valuable than gold that perishes when it is tested by fire; may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

“The Trial of your Faith – 101”…Blog
*** (1Corinthains 16:22) If anyone does Not love the Lord Jesus Christ; let him be accursed [Damned]. The Lord comes! [Again]

Do you Present an ‘UNBALANCED’ presentation of the GOSPEL...?

*** (Acts 20:27) For I did ‘Not’ keep back; from declaring to you; “ALL” the counsel of God.

*** (2Corinthains 4:16) That's why we are not discouraged. No, even if our outer man is wearing out, our inner man is being renewed: day by day. [John 15:1-2-3]

*** (Mark 1:35) And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, HE [Jesus] went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

*** (1Samuel 3:21) And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of the LORD.

“Daily: Spiritual ‘Decisions’ – 101”…Blog.

*** (1Corinthians 9:27) No, I keep on beating my body and making it my slave so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will Not somehow be disqualified. [John 10:27-28-29]

*** (2Timothy 2:3-4-5) Join me in suffering like a good soldier = of Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 2:4) No one serving in the military = gets mixed up in civilian matters = for his aim is to please his commanding officer. [Christ Jesus]
(2Tim 2:5) Moreover, no one who is an athlete wins a prize = unless he competes according to the Rules.

*** (Luke 6:46) And why do ‘you’ call Me [Jesus] = Lord, = Lord; and do ‘Not’ do - what I [Jesus] say?

“Is Christian ‘Obedience’… Optional? – 101”…Blog.

*** (2Timothy 2:15) Do your Best to present yourself to God as an Approved Worker, who has Nothing to be ashamed of, Handling the Word of Truth with Precision.
(2Tim 2:16) However, avoid pointless discussions. For people will become more and more ungodly,

*** (Matthew 13:19) When anyone hears the Word of the kingdom; and does Notunderstand it; then the wicked one [Satan] comes; and catches away that which was sown in his [her] heart. This is the seed sown by the wayside.

IF You work a Secular Job… be it man or woman… You are held to certain performance standards. Often times I was promoted because I gave myself WHOLLY… to any task that was set before me. My mindset was: I am not Working for the “APS Company” BUT: for the LORD…! “Aptitude is “99%”… Attitude!” Natural Abilities flow out of a Heart that is “Right with God!” Remember He has placed us in that Position! Yes, even for the Stay Home MOM: who has “3-or-4”… small children at the same time! GOD may simply choose to leave us in… “Modest Means”… KNOWING: that HE cannot trust us with an ‘Abundance’…! About now, You will say to me… “What about Joe & Mary”…? That is NONE of your Business… its God’s business… Not Yours…!

*** (1Samuel 2:30) And the LORD Jehovah, the God of Israel says, I said indeed, Your house and the house of your father should walk before Me forever. = But now Jehovah the LORD says, = Be it far from Me! = For those who honor Me [God] I will honor, = and those that think little of Me shall be lightly regarded.

*** (Colossians 3:23) And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and Not to men;
(Col 3:24) knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance. For you serve the Lord Christ.
(Col 3:25) But he who does wrong shall receive justice for the wrong which he did, and there is no respect of persons.

*** (Romans 14:11-12) For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
(Rom 14:12) So then each one of us will give Account: concerning himself: to God.
