The purpose of this blog is two fold: 1) to accurately describe how one may receive the free gift of eternal life--Jesus Himself said in John 6:47 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life." NKJV and 2) to explore the Word of God in such a way that it will be supplementally edifying to what you're learning from your local church as well as contribute to the spiritual growth of believers in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

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:
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.
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 Fourth Commandment: The Sabbath. Part 6.
Point 3. We begin with what is known as Supergrace Rest or an advance of the Sabbath Rest for the people of God.
It all began with your salvation or understanding of the “rest Life” that God gives us at salvation.
The land of Canaan is a type of the supergrace life, and in the context of Heb 3:11, supergrace is manifest by faith rest.
For example, the maximum use of faith-rest with doctrine and the maximum application of doctrine from the heart or the right lobe of the soul.
Heb 4:1 3 (in Heb 4:3 we have what is known an elliptical oath which says that this rest was provided for the Jews in eternity past, yet their disobedience of unbelief will keep them out of it.
There is a temporal Sabbath i.e., mentioned in principle in Heb 3:11 which is for all believers. This is the “Sabbath experience” for the mature believer.
1. For instance, if you had saddled a horse on Friday, you could not remove the saddle if the horse was still saddled on the Sabbath. On Saturday you couldn’t saddle or unsaddle a horse.
2. On Saturday’s you couldn’t cook anything.
3. If you have mud on your robe you were not allowed to clean it off.
4. You couldn’t stop anyone from bleeding on the Sabbath, you had to wait for Sunday.
Heb 4:3 tells us that we who have believed on him, enter into his rest.
Gal 5:22 when the word of god says the fruit of the holy spirit is peace…
Heb 3:19 tells us it is unbelief which causes us not to enter into rest
Heb 4:10 it says he who has entered into his rest is someone who has ceased from his own works
For the Christian, he has entered in what the book of Hebrews teaches as a moment by moment rest, or a moment by moment sabbath
If the believer does not rest and tries to accomplish things on his own then he enters into a temporal death which is a separation from god
Why? Because they are trying to make certain things happen and work when God has given them rest, And what is the day that god has given you for rest?
Every day that you wake up is another opportunity for you to enter into his rest
You have an altar and that altar starts right upstairs in your soul
Your soul is your altar,
Your altar goes way beyond prayer
Prayer is a part of your altar, but so is learning, serving, giving, etc.
They not only struggle with rest outwardly, (they’re nervous wrecks, they’re always falling apart, they can’t handle pressure) but they struggle with rest inwardly…which is where real rest starts.
Now what is the sabbath, or this rest that God has for us?
Mercy is given for our past mistakes and failures.
Grace gives us the power in the present and in the future.
Remember that the Bible says you shall love your neighbor as or while you love yourself.
Guilt, condemnation, fear torments a person’s soul unless the individual discovers what real biblical rest is all about!
Because God promised that He will be gracious and merciful (compassionate) to you.
In fact, even divine discipline is a revelation of His grace.
So, when Moses asked to see the glory of God, that manifestation of God’s glory was grace and mercy.
prin-The manifestations of the glory of God “from” God is His grace and mercy, but the manifestation of the glory of God “in us” is rest.
Rest is also a fulfillment of the promises of God.
However, if you don’t live in God’s promises you won’t have rest.
And, as we have already seen, the writer of the book of Hebrews says; “If you want to live in fear of something live in fear that you don’t live in the promises of God… Heb 4:1.
That’s the only thing you should live in fear of, not in what life is bringing but live in fear that you do not live in the promises of God.
Matt 11:28 “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
Rest here is anapauo which again causes us to cease from work in order to receive His strength.
Verse 29 “take my yoke upon you, and learn from me…”
Matt 11:29 “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.”
Note that rest comes first of all from going to Him, that’s His promise…and secondly, if you learn from me, you will find rest for your souls.
You see, every day the things of this world are designed to take away your freshness and are designed to make you stale and dull and passive and slothful,
