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: The Eighth Commandment, “Thou Shall not Steal” You must learn to be occupied with the Lord and keep your eyes off people.
The different areas where you can have things stolen from you or maybe you are a thief and stealing is your way of life.
Love means following His commandments, and His unifying commandment is that you conduct your lives in love.
The context the apostle John is referring to is the fact anyone who gets so progressive in his thinking that he walks out on the teaching of Christ, walks out on God.
Whoever stays with the teaching, stays faithful to both the Father and the Son.
That would just give him a platform to perpetuate his evil ways, making you his partner.
Someone or something can be used by Satan and the kingdom of darkness to steal away our spiritual accomplishments by distracting or hindering us from going forward in the PPOG [predesigned plan of God] – PSD [personal sense of destiny].
The only true role model we should have is the one we develop in spiritual adulthood in our occupation with Jesus Christ.
The point again is that our spiritual accomplishments must be guarded and cherished and we must be very careful that we do not allow anyone to take us away from our Lord.
Prwov 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding.”
When things seem to be chaotic and are filled with confusion that is when you need to: “Trust in the Lord not in people!”
When you find yourself in a situation that is filled with “Cosmic Thinking” Do not lean on your own understanding.
You cannot change other people; you can only change yourself.
You cannot change yourself through Christian fellowship, but only through perception of Bible doctrine.
Your relationship and your fellowship with God is the major issue.
When your relationship with God is straight, then your relationships with people will fall into line.
Changing yourself is a matter of consistent perception, metabolization and application of Bible Doctrine from which comes the consistent use of the ten problem solving devices of the predesigned plan of God.
The most dramatic change in the life of any believer occurs when he is using all ten of these problem solving devices.
Relationship with God must precede relationship with people. Christian fellowship is secondary to perception of doctrine.
Christian fellowship is not the source of spiritual growth or momentum.
1. It establishes wrong priorities in the Christian life through the influence of confused believers.
2. It is a distraction from Bible doctrine through preoccupation with romance or friendship.
3. It is the acquisition of legalism through association with legalistic and arrogant believers.
4. It involves anti-nomianism, therefore association with promiscuous believers, which is also distracting.
5. Using Christian fellowship as a dating bureau or a marriage pool is a distraction from growing in grace.
6. Christian fellowship often results in acquiring erroneous views of doctrine, or the ridicule of doctrine in a group of Christian believers.
7. Christian fellowship uses people as a crutch rather than learning and using the ten problem solving devices of the Christian way of life.
8. A lifetime friendships develop among positive believers while they’re growing in grace.
9. Encouragement from conversations among believers of like faith and practice.
1Co 3:16 Do you not know that you [you is the second person plural = ya’ll or believers] you all are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you [second person plural = ya’ll]?
1Co 3:17 If any man destroys the temple of God that is the church of God, — [notice the temple of God is called the Church of God.]
God will destroy him, for the temple of God is Holy, and that is what you [Second person plural = you all are.
1Co 3;19 tells us to be God’s fool is the path to true wisdom.
That is “not discerning” the value of the impeccability of our Lord’s physical body as well as it can refer to His Church, the spiritual body of Christ or the Temple of God.
Not discerning the blood of the Lord or His spiritual death is to reject the Work of the Lord and Word of the Lord.
Phil 3:18 For many keep walking, concerning whom I have warned you many times, and now continue to affirm, even weeping, the enemies of the cross of Christ.
2Co 5:16 Therefore from now on we recognize no man according to the flesh or according to human viewpoint but rather divine viewpoint;
It is Eph 4:32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
The divine viewpoint of the church or the temple of God is found in such passages as John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
Heb 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but gather together for the purpose of encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near.
Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so.
For the best results and for the correct and the most accurate translation of any passage, it is wise to stay under the authority of the principle we call “ICE.”
1. Isagogics is the historical setting of the passage.
2. Categories is the systematic theology developed from combining Scripture with Scripture.
3. Exegesis is the grammatical and syntactical analysis of the passage from the original languages.
As we go forward in the PPOG and fulfilling our personal sense of destiny, it is important that we also know not “what glorifies the Lord” but “how to glorify the Lord.”
1Co 3:17 God will destroy him, for the temple of God is Holy, and that is what you are.
Because you have not judged or evaluated the Lord’s body, His church, His temple, correctly.
For this reason, many among you are weak [mentally] and sick [physically], and a number sleep or died.
Because they did not or do not discern the Lord’s spiritual body which is His church, also called His Temple.
They did not or do not discern the Lord’s physical body which He kept impeccable or His spiritual body which is His church and His Temple.
The fact that His spiritual body presently also known as His church, His Temple will forever be known as the bride of Christ for all eternity and it cannot be overstated or should ever be taken for granted; Pro 20:25.
The bride of Christ will be occupied with her right man, TLJC [the Lord Jesus Christ], for all of eternity and she will do whatever her husband desires for all of eternity.
Your life right now is being recorded by the Lord as to whether you are a winner believer or a loser believer, it all depends upon you!
Do you operate with the Temple of God with your spiritual gift; Rom 12:6 And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly:
Do you neglect or reject your spiritual gift for 1Ti 4:14 says Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed upon you.
1Pe 4:10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Notice the three main words I mentioned, exercise, neglect, serve.
Exercise — Rom 12:6, let each exercise their gift accordingly:
I.P. – The operation of your spiritual gift has been given to serve others in the Temple of God or the Church of Jesus Christ.
And how do you judge yourselves rightly?
PSD#1 [problem solving device #1] – Rebound or confession of sin or rebound and recovery, if needed or necessary.
If you steal something, you are a thief who thinks you have the right to take what you can or whatever you are lusting after.
Because Satan loves to torture us to try and get even with us because our husband, TLJC, already shut the lid on his Angelic butt when He defeated Satan and the kingdom of darkness on the cross.
Acts 5, we have three believers mentioned, Ananias and Sapphira, who did evil in the sight of the Lord, and then a man called Barnabas, known as the son of encouragement, who did right in the sight of the Lord.
They do understand how to “rob from God” because we are told that they did so in Mal 3:8-10.
The last part of verse 1 says: Look! He’s on his way!” A Message from the mouth of the GOD of the Angel Armies.
He’ll scrub the Levite priests clean, refine them like gold and silver, until they’re fit for GOD, fit to present offerings of righteousness.
Notice that we are to be clean even before we make an offering to the Lord.
This passage then says — “Stop stealing from the Lord.”
Mal 3:3 “And He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness.
