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 believed 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 unconfessed 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.

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.
The Great I AM, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Great I Am” passages that meant many things to the Jewish disciples as well as many things to us as Church-age believers.
The “Great I Am” is revealed throughout the Word of God in both the Old and the New Testaments with one interpretation but many applications.
1. Our Lord is called the “True Vine” because the word True refers to His character and nature and the word Vine refers to His essence as the God of Truth; Deut 32:4.
2. We learn how our Lord, in His humanity, drew His spiritual life which resulted in the spiritual energy and spiritual motivation He needed from living the spiritual life and fulfilling the divine plan of God.
3. “The True Vine” also refers to His Deity which is derived from the first part of verse 1 when our Lord said; n 15:1 “I Am” the true vine” which refers to the “Great I Am” passages.
4. The “True Vine” as it relates to the Hypostatic Union; Jn 14:6 “Jesus said, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life.”
5. “My Father is the vinedresser” referring to the logistical grace support that comes to the branches or believers from God the Father.
One of the most over-looked doctrinal principle is the relationship that exists between the Word of God and Salvation.
1Co 2:14 “a natural minded man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
Hyper-Calvinism — man cannot choose God because either God chooses man to be saved or God ignores man and overlooks His need for salvation because God is sovereign and can do whatever He desires.
This is the grace of God the Holy Spirit to the unbeliever and how He makes these things known to the unbeliever even though the unbeliever does not have a human spirit.
Jm 1:21, “in humility receive the word implanted [metabolized doctrine], which is able to save or deliver our souls, especially concerning salvation.
1Pe 1:23 for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and abiding word of God.
In one of the most popular passages concerning salvation and being born again the apostle John relates salvation with the water of the Word of God as is found in Jn 3:1-7.
The apostle Paul revealing the relationship between the Word of God and salvation as in Rm 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
To the Corinthian Church, the apostle Paul writes; 1Co 1:18 For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her; that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word = Salvation.
The apostle Peter says in 1Pe 2:2 like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
Even the Old Testament mentions water, cleanliness and salvation beginning in 1Sa 55:1.
Many believers have been accused of doing something that they did not do but instead of responding with doctrine in a positive way, they reacted with demon influence in a negative way.
1. Satan became the ruler of this world.
b. The old sin nature became the ruler of man’s body.
c. Mankind became spiritually dead, and therefore under the condemnation of the justice of God.
Adam took a perfect soul, and, by his negative volition, he revolted against divine authority and created the old sin nature.
But being free, Adam could also reject divine authority.
While the soul is not occupied by the old sin nature, the soul becomes the battlefield which the old sin nature attacks and where it is often tactically successful.
The influence of the old sin nature on the soul is seen in mental attitude sins and motivations.
There is no question that the body effects the soul and the mentality, just as the soul effects the body (psychosomatics).
1. As the Great I Am, our Lord is our spiritual food; Jn 6:35 Jesus said, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger.”
2. As the Great I Am, our Lord is also the spiritual drink we need to quench our thirst for righteousness and intimacy with our Lord; Jn 6:35.
3. As the Great I Am, our Lord said, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
4. As the Great I Am, our Lord is also said to be from above; Jn 8:23 And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
5. As the Great I Am, our Lord also said that we were or we use to be of this world, but the “Great I Am” said in Jn 8:23b I am not of this world.
6. The Great I Am, our Lord Jesus Christ also said that unless we believe that He is the “I Am” we will die in our sins and we will be undegenerated and definitely they were not born again; Jn 8:24.
7. The “I Am” also uses that title to reveal that the we must believe that the “I Am” must be recognized as “Almighty God Himself;” Jn 8:24 “Unless you believe that “I Am” is the great I Am, we will die in our sin of rejecting Him.
8. The “I Am” title also reveals the eternity of our Lord, because in Jn 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”
9. As the great I Am, our Lord gives us the light and the guidance to see and perceive the will of God. Jn 9:5 “I am the light of the world.”
10. As the great I Am he claimed to be the one that the Jews were waiting for in Jn 9:9 Jesus kept saying, “I am the one.”
11. The I Am also opens up some of the doors and also closes or shuts other doors, why? Because in Jn 10:11 Jesus said I am the door of the sheep.
12. As the Great I Am, our Lord also protects us sheep from the wolves; Jn 10:11 “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
13. The “I Am” claimed to be the Son of God. Jn 10:36, our Lord said to the scribes and the Pharisees and the Sadducees; “You are truly blaspheming because the Lord said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
14. As the Great I Am, our Lord reveals and tells us that He is the resurrection and he is the life. Jn 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies.
15. As the Great I Am, there is the teaching ministry of our Lord who said to His disciples in Jn 13:13 “You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for {so} I am.
16. The great I am is also responsible for fulfilled prophecy in Jn 13:19 “From now on I am telling you things before they come to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that “I am.” – that’s it! Not He but “I Am.”
17. Probably one of the most popular passages on this principle of the Great I Am is found in Jn 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.
18. Jn 15:1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. (What more can we s
ay – the I Am gives us the spiritual energy we need from the Spirit and the Word.
