Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word
Before we begin, only if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (that is; you have believed [trusted] in Him for His promised gift of eternal life) John 3:16, John 6:47 as a few examples; it is very important to prepare yourself to learn God's Word so the Holy Spirit can teach you as to what your reading or hearing is true or false. To be taught by the Holy Spirit you must be filled with the Holy Spirit which means abiding in Christ. To place yourself in fellowship with God the Holy Spirit [also called abiding in the Christ], take a moment to simply name, cite or acknowledge [confess] your known unconfessed sins privately to God (i.e.; with your thoughts directed only to God the Father). Why? Because you cannot grow spiritually if you’re not abiding in Christ [in fellowship with Him] when you take in bible truth.
1 John 1:9, says: “If we confess [meaning to simply name, cite or acknowledge to God the Father] our sins [known unconfessed 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. Left click the following link to learn more and fully understand the doctrine of Rebound; which answers the question, why do I need to keep confessing my sins all the time? 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, The Christ alone for eternal life [salvation] and you will be saved [receive Eternal Life] the very micro 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 [Num 21:4-9], even so must the Son of Man be lifted up [the cross], 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;” if just hover doesn’t work, do a “control-left-click,” 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.
Internet Church Service – January 2, 2022; Every believer is given a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
As we continue with our subject on the Dispensation of the Hypostatic Union, *** The Lord was teaching His disciples the relationship between agape-love and the commands or the doctrines our Lord gives to all of His disciples concerning how to live and how to love.
As most of you know by now a dispensation is usually defined as a “period of time” in which God works together with man in a particular way.
And, although this may not seem like a very important principle of doctrine to some, it is so important that we all need to learn and apply the correct doctrine to our spiritual life and our personal sense of destiny.
Now, what we have been doing is really studying the New Mystery Doctrines that the disciples of our Lord will have to learn first for themselves, before they can teach it to others.
First of all, we are told that the spiritual gifts that are given in the Church-age, and are distributed to certain individuals that God the Holy Spirit chooses what gift is given to whoever He decides to give the gift to; 1Co 12:11.
This is another passage that reveals to us that God the Holy Spirit is also called Jehovah in the Hebrew and Kurios in the Greek; 2Co 3:17-18.
Notice what we have here: First, each one of us is given a manifestation of the Holy Spirit by means of the gifts that God the Holy Spirit gives to all of us.
The key word here is the word “manifestation” because that’s what the gifts of the Holy Spirit are designed and created for, which is to manifest the different spiritual gifts that are for the common people.
Now, this is a passage that makes it crystal clear that the Holy Spirit is the sovereign ruler of all the spiritual gifts given to the church as she is called the body of Christ.
However, there was one exception and that is when the Lord Jesus Christ was the One who appointed certain men to certain authoritative positions within the Church.
Notice the word ascended because at the ascension we are told that our Lord descended and went down to Paradise, which is a compartment located somewhere underneath us in Hades, also known as Hell, and then He ascended back to the face of the earth.
Paradise is where the Old Testament believers will remain until they stand before the Lord and give Him the glory simply by revealing agape-love to anyone who would listen to His Glorious Gospel.
In other words, for a short period of time our Lord was going back and forth with the ascension and the descension, as well as leading those Old Testament believers who were captive in Paradise waiting to be able to go to heaven that is, for the first time.
By the way, if anyone is wondering what our Lord was doing after He died on the cross, He went to Hades to pick up and bring home the Old Testament believers who had been waiting for the Lord and His timing to put all these things in motion.
Secondly, there were also fallen angels in Hades, who were known as the Criminal Angels who had violated the rules of the Supreme Court of Heaven; 1Pe 3:18-22.
Also, the scriptures seem to say something about the angels or the Nephilim who were considered to be super creatures and according to the justice and righteousness of God will have their day in court as well.
This is the period in human history when the Lord almost shut down planet earth for without light and the energy that comes from the sun, planet earth would simply self-destruct.
Now, here comes the Royal Flush of the communicational gifts gifts as given to all of us in Eph 4:11 And He [TLJC] gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,
Now, with all these passages it is extremely important to remember what 1Co 10:11 says concerning Old Testament passages, now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
Notice that we have examples to learn from and to live by.
We need to believe that these fantastic principles of doctrine are available to all of us and if we desire to be a “winner believer” we need to perceive, metabolize and apply what the Spirit is saying to the Christian churches who desire to bring glory to our Lord.
In fact, there also seems to be some very interesting doctrinal conclusions that as believers under grace and truth, we can bring glory to the Lord and receive fantastic blessings from our Father’s justice and love.
By the way, the justice of God is the secret for the winner believers in the Church-age who recognize that the justice and the righteousness of God is the believer’s road to success, spiritually speaking.
In 1Co 10:6, the apostle Paul says it again in a little different way; Now these things happened as examples for us, that we should not crave evil things, as they also craved.
This is another reason why our Lord loves to confront us face to face, because He wants us to know the effects of having a positive outlook on life and not a negative one.
Many of these different problems and trials that come our way, we need to be sure that we understand how to respond to them and how to glorify our Lord through the use of the PSD’s for every Church-age believer.
In Jn 8, the woman who was caught in the very act of her sexual immorality, was not the real issue behind the passage, the real issue was the evil behind the self-righteous scums alive on earth today.
Jn 8:9, it wasn’t until the woman caught in adultery was left alone with the Lord that she was set free.
Jn 16:32 “Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
We are getting ready for some life changing principles which is why many of us have had to deal with certain problems that caught us by surprise and suddenly to mislead us, or deceive us.
Eye gate + Ear gate = Jn 12:43 for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
Gal 1:10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
He means that the two cannot walk together when they are total opposites mentally speaking but the real issue is either please God or please man; Amos 3:3.
The woman caught in adultery learned the lesson that to be left alone with God is the only true way of arriving at an accurate knowledge of ourselves and our ways.
No matter what we may think about ourselves, or what others may think about us; the real question is what does God think about us?
We all need, from time to time, to examine our own lives in light of Bible doctrine; 2Co 13:5.
We all need to be honest with ourselves and be open to correction from our Lord and ask Him to reveal to us, what changes we need to make in our lives, not other people’s life, but ours.
David was a man after God’s own heart and this is one of the things that David asked the Lord to do;
Psa 26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.
