Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is— you have trusted in Him for eternal life), it is important to prepare yourself to take-in God’s Word or participating in a Communion Service, so take a moment to name, cite or acknowledge your sins privately directly to God the Father. This will assure that you are in fellowship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit’s convicting ministry, also called the convincing ministry will then be able to teach you as the Holy Spirit is the real teacher and the pastor’s message is the vehicle the Holy Spirit uses to convince you what you are learning is true or not.
1 John 1:9 says—“If we confess [simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known sins], He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins [known sins] and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness [all unknown and forgotten sins];” NKJV (New King James Version); we call this REBOUND, read the full doctrine as to “why” we need to use 1 John 1:9 to grow spiritually. REBOUND
If you have never personally believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (
that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins to God; the issue for you is to believe by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life and you will be saved the very second you believe in Him:
John 6:47 says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life.” NKJV
Notice again what John 6:47 says,
“he who believes in Me [
Jesus Christ]
has everlasting life.” It doesn’t say, “will have”; it says, “
has.” Therefore, the very moment you believe Jesus Christ’s promise of everlasting life, you have it (
it’s really just that simple), and it can never be lost or taken away from you (
John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift of everlasting life (
also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.
John 3:14-18 says: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” NKJV
Let us now bow our hearts and take a moment to prepare for learning God’s Word, if there is any known sin in your life, this is the time to just cite it privately to God the Father with your thoughts directed towards Him. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, you have total privacy in your mind and soul:
Our Pastor-Teacher is:
This ministry is non-denominational and is dedicated to
teaching the Word of God from the original languages and
making it available at no charge throughout the world.
Sermon
NOTES
Unlike the bible study, these notes are not just for reading without watching the video. These notes are more designed to follow along during the sermon and to bring up the “hover pop-up scripture references” (some websites may require to left click the link, if that doesn’t work then look them up in your Bible) when the Pastor asks everyone to turn to that passage in their bibles.
Sermon: Dispensation of the Mosaic Law. The First Commandment. Part 4.
The first commandment is dealing with idolatry in the soul, while the second commandment deals with overt idolatry.
Both of these commandments deal with the doctrine of idolatry.
1. The worship of a physical object or objects as God.
2. Inordinate attachment or extreme devotion to something.
The scripture teaches that idolatry begins in the mind and proceeds to overt practice.
Shiggaon = in the Hebrew or the mental breakdowns where believers have no spiritual strength and no doctrine resident in their soul and so they immediately accept a substitute, in most cases a cheap substitute.
Eze 14:7 “For anyone of the house of Israel or of the immigrants who stay in Israel who separates himself from me, sets up his idols in his heart,
1. The worship of a physical object or objects as god
2. Inordinate attachment or extreme devotion to something.
The bronze serpent was the means which God used to reveal His Son, TLJC, to the congregation of Israel.
It was the means to bring them to an expected end,….which was a personal relationship with Jehovah Elohim, the Lord God.
John 3:14 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.”
John 12:32 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
Heb 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
They began to worship the means that God used to reveal himself rather than God Himself = a form of idolatry.
The children of Israel made an idol out of that which God used to deliver them and heal them = Neshushtan.
Scar tissue of the soul and hardness of the heart precedes the function of idolatry.
The Bible also teaches that demonism and demon possession is caused by idolatry in Zec 10:2 and that idolatry is called the devil’s communion table, 1Co 10:19-21.
Zec 10:2 For the teraphim [objects of deity] speak iniquity, And the diviners see lying visions, And tell false dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore, the people wander like sheep, They are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.
Because idolatry is related to both scar tissue of the soul and emotional revolt of the soul, it produces psychotic and neurotic conditions, Jer 50:38.
Jer 50:38 “A drought on her waters, and they will be dried up! For it is a land of idols, And they are mad over fearsome idols.”
The worship of idols and false gods or religion is one of the main reasons for national disaster and famine.
The Hebrew word mad is halal which means to act insane, to live in arrogance.
Dr. William Gesenius says on page 226 that this word which is in the hithpoel stem means to be mad and to be foolish.
Jer 50:38 “A drought is upon her waters, and they will be dried up! for it is a land of idols, and they are mad over fearsome idols.
The Theological wordbook of the Old Testament by Harris, Archer and Waltke says in vol 1, page 219 that this word halal, translated mad, means the irrational aspect of insanity.
They said that halal is the opposite of chokmah, which of course means doctrine.
“Most instances exhibit an application to irrational thought processes.”
Idolatry also motivates the whole realm of sexual sins in the Phallic cult, Eze 22:1-16, 23:37 49.
Jer 9:14, “But they have walked after the stubbornness of their heart [the scar tissue of their hearts] and after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.
