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, that He is the Son of God, the promised Messiah, as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins; the issue for you is to simply exercise faith alone in Jesus Christ alone eternal life; when you do, you will instantly receive Eternal Life: John 3:16, 5:24, 6:47, 20:30, 31.

John 6:47 says: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life." NKJV

Notice again what Jesus said in John 6:47: "…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 in Jesus Christ for His promise of everlasting life, you have it (it's really just that simple; nothing more and nothing less), and it can never be taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift (Ephesians 2:8c) of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.

John 3:14-15, 16, 17, 18, says: "14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 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. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 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 worship and 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:

Study to show yourself approved to God!

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

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 – May 28, 2023; The Angelic Conflict - Part 21 is in HD Audio ONLY; with hover pop-up scripture references in Notes.

The Angelic Conflict - Part 21 –

Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.

Rev 20:14 And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

Today demons cannot physically assault, attack, or do violence to members of the human race because they do not have physical bodies.

So fierce was this army group that it was imprisoned in a separate area from the demons who are in Tartarus.

This army group will be composed of four hard core tough armies. Probably one sent to the North, one to the South, one to the East, and one to the West!

Rev 9:15 And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind.

There will only be one group that they cannot kill - certain demon possessed unbelievers will be exempted from their attack.

Their final attack will be religion - Rev 17-18. “have been prepared” = perf-mid-part = they have been kept in a state of readiness.

Nothing can happen in history apart from divine consent.

Isa 45:7 “I am the Lord. The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these.”

The exception are believers who have the wall of fire around them because they are living in God’s plan and unbelievers who are demon possessed.

1. The only visible attack occurred in the antediluvian civilization - a genetic attack (a demon invasion through sex). It involved the Nephilim, the beni ha elohim, the sons of the gods.

2. The invasion of the human body is demon possession. The invasion of the human soul and personality is demon influence.

3. The direct assault on the human race by demon armies with bodies - they will be visible after Satan is cast out of heaven during the Tribulation.

4. Once Satan is confined to the earth and no longer has access to heaven, he has no need for the majority of those who serve him in the cosmic system - believers and unbelievers.

5. Satan uses this second demon assault army group to destroy his own human servants.

6. Certain demon possessed unbelievers will survive this attack, but they do not change their attitude toward demon possession.

This is the dispensation of the greatest power struggle in all of history because it involves not only people but angelic creatures as well.

Isa 2:12-22, Isa 24:1-23, Jer 30:7 - it is called the time of Jacob’s [Israel’s] distress.

Joel 2:1 - It is called the day of the Lord.

It is a period of divine judgment, Zep 1:14-18, Mat 24:3-31.

The Angelic Conflict - Part 20 - Point 6. - The Satanic Plan for Offensive Action in Human History -

a. The genetic attack - Satan’s attempt to destroy true humanity by the sexual intercourse of angels with women producing a half-human half-angelic race. (Gen 6:1-13; 2Pe 2:4-5; 1Pe 3:18-22; Jud 6)

b. The attack of demon possession, in which the demons occupy the bodies of unbelievers resulting in the following: Diseases - Mat 9:33, 17:18; Luk 4:35.

Certain mental disorders, Mat 11:18; Luk 7:33. Divination, the operation of the phallic cult, and many other things.

c. The attack of demon influence against mankind = demons penetrate the soul and personality of both believers and unbelievers, 1Ti 4:1.

d. The physical attack of demon armies during the Tribulation.

(1) The first demon assault army stationed in the abyss, Rev 9:1-12.

(2) The second demon assault army stationed under the Euphrates river, Rev 9:12-21.

(3) The third demon assault army stationed in heaven under the direct command of Satan, Rev 12:7-17.

e. The satanic attack in the Gog and Magog revolution at the end of the Millennium.

Rev 9:12-13 The first woe is past; behold, two woes are still coming after these things. And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

The golden altar is analogous to the golden altar of incense in the Tabernacle or the Temple; it represents the imprecatory prayers of the Tribulation saints, Rev 6:9-12.

Imprecatory prayers invoke evil upon someone or a curse. They are legal and valid for other dispensations, but not for the Church-age.

Psa 58:6 “O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth” All trumpet judgments in the book of Revelation are administered in answer to the imprecatory prayers of Tribulational saints.

Satan’s demon assault armies attack, torture and destroy Satan’s human servants who have been carrying out his will faithfully in the cosmic system during the Tribulation period.

Just as Satan’s servants in the cosmic system tortured and killed Tribulational believers, so Satan’s angels reciprocate against his human servants in the same pattern.

The four horns of the golden altar which is before God remind us that all answers to prayers are related to our Lord’s sacrifice on the cross.

The voice is the voice of a cherub angel guarding the altar, Rev 8:3.

Rev 9:14 one commanding the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

They will be restrained until the middle of the Tribulation period because the only demons permitted to operate on planet earth at the present time are disembodied spirits!

bound = pres-pass-part - deo = to bind, to put in prison, to incarcerate or imprison - “who have been incarcerated or imprisoned.”

These demon armies have bodies, weapon systems, uniforms, patches; they are a full military organization.

The demon generals have been put in prison for violating some type of principles in the angelic conflict.

The Euphrates river is 1700 miles long. It was the boundary between Israel (Palestinian covenant) and Gentile nations, Gen 15:18; Jos 1:4.

This river originates in the mountains of Armenia where Noah’s ark is said to be located, and it flows all the way to the Persian gulf.

The first order from the elect Cherub angel to the angel holding the sixth trumpet is to release the general officers, not to release the army!

There will only be one group that they cannot kill - certain demon possessed unbelievers will be exempted from their attack.

The Euphrates is one of the four rivers which flows from the Garden of Eden - a river of great significance!

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, that He is the Son of God, the promised Messiah, as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins; the issue for you is to simply exercise faith alone in Jesus Christ alone eternal life; when you do, you will instantly receive Eternal Life: John 3:16, 5:24, 6:47, 20:30, 31.

John 6:47 says: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life." NKJV

Notice again what Jesus said in John 6:47: "…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 in Jesus Christ for His promise of everlasting life, you have it (it's really just that simple; nothing more and nothing less), and it can never be taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift (Ephesians 2:8c) of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.

John 3:14-15, 16, 17, 18, says: "14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 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. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 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 worship and 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:

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:

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 – May 14, 2023; The Angelic Conflict - Part 19 is in HD Audio ONLY; with hover pop-up scripture references in Notes.

The Angelic Conflict - Part 19 - Mat 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.

Mat 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.

Mat 13:44-46 The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

seek = zeteo = to keep on searching for, to keep on pursuing, to keep on endeavoring to obtain, to keep on investigating, to keep on examining, to keep on desiring to possess.

Mark 12:30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

strength = ischuos = all your physical strength; you make the maximum effort to get to know God!

Pr 2:4 If you seek her [wisdom] as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will discern true respect for the Lord, and discover the true knowledge of God.

seek = baqash = to search intensively or to strive after something.

Jer 29:13 And you will seek Me and find {Me,} when you search for Me with all your heart.

search = darash = to beat or to tread a path, to learn and to study, to go to a place so frequently to learn that you tread a path from your home to that place [Gesenius].

Heb 11:6 And without faith [residual doctrine] it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

seek = pres-act-part - ekzetousin = seek diligently, to investigate, to scrutinize, to crave and desire for something = P.V.T.D. [positive volition towards doctrine].

Point 6. - The Satanic Plan for Offensive Action in Human History -

a. The genetic attack, Gen 6:1-13; 2Pe 2:4-5; 1Pe 3:18-22; Jud 6.

2Pe 2:4 For God did not spare the angels when they sinned but incarcerated them in Tartarus with chains of thick darkness, He delivered them over to judgment, being constantly guarded.

Jud 6 And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but who deserted their proper abode, He has incarcerated them in everlasting chains of thick darkness for the judgment of the great day.

The “judgment of the great day” occurs when all fallen angels are cast into the lake of fire, as anticipated by Mat 25:41.

Under the custodianship of God the Holy Spirit, His soul not only went to Paradise but he also visited Tartarus (the prison of the angels who were involved in Gen 6).

“spirits in prison” = beni ha Elohim, the “sons of gods” of Gen 6, those fallen angels who were judged and incarcerated in Tartarus when the universal flood occurred on the earth, Jud 6; 2Pe 2:4.

“made proclamation” = He proclaimed certain doctrines and informed those demons in prison that they had failed and God’s plan was right on time!

Our Lord’s human soul was in Hades in an interim body for three days and during the time that he was there he went to Tartarus.

God kept waiting under the principle that grace always precedes judgment.

The water that drowned the unbelieving world was also used to deliver the eight souls who were believers and true humanity.

At the moment of our salvation, the baptism of the Spirit made us members of the Royal Family of God.

Union with Christ delivers each member of the Royal Family of God from any form of divine judgement, just like being with Noah and his family delivered anyone from the divine judgment of the flood.

They were delivered from the catastrophe of the flood by being inside the ark, just as we are delivered from the lake of fire by being in union with Christ, due to the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

First the Lord went to Paradise, then Tartarus, and then His next trip, from earth to the third heaven!

When Jesus Christ ascended, He was seated at the right hand of God the Father and received his third royal warrant, King of kings and Lord of Lords.

Preparing yourself for the study of God’s Word

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, that He is the Son of God, the promised Messiah, as your Savior (that is, believed in Him for eternal life), the issue for you is not to name your sins; the issue for you is to simply exercise faith alone in Jesus Christ alone eternal life; when you do, you will instantly receive Eternal Life: John 3:16, 5:24, 6:47, 20:30, 31.

John 6:47 says: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me [Jesus Christ] has everlasting life." NKJV

Notice again what Jesus said in John 6:47: "…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 in Jesus Christ for His promise of everlasting life, you have it (it's really just that simple; nothing more and nothing less), and it can never be taken away from you (John 10:28-29). Furthermore, the gift (Ephesians 2:8c) of everlasting life (also called eternal life in scripture) is available to every human being; there are absolutely no exceptions.

John 3:14-15, 16, 17, 18, says: "14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 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. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 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 worship and 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.

The Tree of Life is a weekly teaching summary: God’s Word is taught Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday

STUDY TITLE:

Weekly Bible Study, May 8, 2023; Cures for anxiety, fear and worry.

1. Fix our eyes on Jesus.

2. Your heart is where your treasure is. So don’t lay up treasures on earth, instead lay-up treasures in heaven.

3. God knows all about us

4. Seek first the kingdom of God.

5. Don’t worry about tomorrow

Introduction

To be anxious and to worry is to be drawn in different directions by an uncertain and troubled mind. Worry pulls us apart and puts us off balance. Man worries and becomes anxious because he tries to live life on his own without the guidance of God. That is the sin of independence. Worrying is destructive. Worry only tears us down. Worry can’t add anything positive to our lives. Worry is also deceptive. It convinces us that this world is more important than eternity.

Our enemies want us so concerned about today’s world, that we totally forget about eternity and our goal – to glorify God.

Worrying is debilitating. It stops us in our tracks and keeps us from growing. In the process it makes our Christian walk ineffectual. It renders us ineffective as ambassadors of the Lord Jesus Christ. How can we witness to a lost world and encourage them to put faith in Jesus Christ if we ourselves are doubting God and worrying? One mark of a Christian is that he makes it easier for others to believe in God. What a tragedy it is when so many of us fail to practice it.

What does worry, anxiety and fear do to us?

Worrying makes us miserable and destroys capacity for life and happiness. Fear, worry and anxiety interferes with your personal sense of destiny, because it is the opposite of what Jesus wants for us.

John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

Worrying reveals a lack of faith in God’s ability to guide us. When we worry, we are taking on God’s responsibility. If worry gains control over us, it can stop our spiritual walk in its tracks, and we go backwards

How do we conquer worry?

1. Fix our eyes on Jesus.

2. Your heart is where your treasure is. So don’t lay up treasures on earth, instead lay up treasures in heaven.

3. God knows all about us

4. Seek first the kingdom of God.

5. Don’t worry about tomorrow.

Fixing our eyes on Jesus.

Heb 12:2, fixing our eyes on 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.

The phrase fixing our eyes is the pres/act/imp participle of the Greek word aforaoo‎. The word means to look away from other things and steadfastly and intently look toward another object. The present tense denotes an habitual attitude, a way of life. The participle is imperative – it is a command. We are to look away From: The world and its lusts. Other people. Difficulties. Fellow Christians. Self.

And look toward Jesus Christ thru the source of doctrine. There must be no divided attention. The minute the Christian takes his eyes off of the Lord Jesus his momentum in the Christian life is hindered. Satan’s work is to constantly try to make us take our eyes off Jesus and on ourselves. Our Lord once walked where we walk. He knows thru firsthand experience our difficulties and sorrows. God never takes us thru a trial that He doesn’t understand thru experience. And then, on the other side, He gives us something better.

We are to look to his holy life; to his patience and perseverance in trials; to what he endured in order to obtain the crown, and to his final success and triumph. Keep your eye simply on him; let his death, his sufferings, his merits, his glories, his intercession, be fresh upon your mind. Jesus is the one sure thing. He is the rock, the foundation. Get Him in view when everything else in your life is swirling and you will land safely. Your heart is where your treasure is. Don’t lay up treasures on earth, lay up treasures in heaven.

Mat 6:19-21, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

This is a passage to determine what your scale of values are. It is saying in effect, do not make first on your scale of values materialistic things. Job understood these truths and upon loosing unspeakable wealth including his children, he declared…

Job 1:21, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD.”

Job understood doctrinal principles:

1. We take no riches of this world into the next.

2. God is the source of all blessing.

3. God deserves our thanks and praise in all things.

If you make your fortune on the earth, you have made a fortune, and stored it, in a place where you cannot hold it. Material things will not make you happy without the Lord Jesus Christ. Man was made to fellowship with God.No amount of money will bring genuine security and contentment, God alone gives that. When you set your life to store up the wealth of this world, you are setting your life after that which cannot last. Eventually the money you worked so hard for will slip from your hands and into the hands of others. The only thing a person can take with them is their soul.

Everything else stays behind. Everything!!! But death cannot touch the soul – it lives forever. The content of your soul is part of your eternal treasure.

Our consumer society is constantly telling us that life at its best consists of having more and more possessions and pleasures. This tug is strong. Worldly ambition has a strong fascination for us. The lure of materialism is very hard to break, many men have an insatiable desire of gain. Wealth can’t be trusted. Money cannot take us to heaven. Money cannot rescue us from death. Money cannot conquer death. We should make it the habit of our lives, day in and day out, to store up eternal treasure in heaven. This is a strong cure for worry, anxiety, and fear.

To lay up treasure in heaven is to store it with God; to have our possessions in him; to entrust our all to him; to know that when we go to God we shall find our wealth. Nothing can enter and destroy in the pure atmosphere of heaven. This heavenly treasury is safe and secure in Christ Jesus, Our Lord. Jesus is teaching us not to be selfish and self-centered. He is teaching us the accumulation of goods should not be the major goal in life. In the long-run it is so unimportant. Laying up treasure in heaven is whatever you do when you are filled with the Holy Spirit. The filling of the Spirit is the key. Time logged in the filling of the Spirit has permanent results. Nothing that is material will last forever. Everything will vanish.

1Jo 2:17, And the world is passing away, and also its lusts.

Only two things last forever. The word will live on forever. The soul will live on forever. If you enjoy doctrine you enjoy everything in life and if you don’t enjoy doctrine you don’t enjoy anything in life. This is true freedom. This is freeing yourself from the chains of earth.

God knows all about us.

Mat 6:31-32, “Do not be anxious then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘With what shall we clothe ourselves?’ “For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.”

Our Father knows. His knowledge comes from His state of being and not something that He acquires. God cannot learn anything. God the Father always knew everything in eternity past and this will continue into eternity future. It is not bound by any limitation. There is no limitation to his knowledge. Every minute detail is in God’s mind at all times and has always been there. He is in complete control at all times.

This is Our Father. This is Our Savior. What is there to worry about when He knows all. Every plan of God is the best that could be and all that is achieved by Him is perfect. He has always known what will happen to each of His creatures, and what could have happened to them. He does not deal with all his children in the same way. He deals with each child individually. He is acquainted with each of His children’s separate and special needs. God has already provided a perfect provision and a perfect solution for every problem we will ever face. It should be a great comfort to know that God has always known about you and all of your trials, troubles and tribulations and has provided answers for everything. He will not deny us anything we need because He doesn’t know what we need. We are safer in his hands than anywhere else in the world. Our Heavenly Father’s concern never fails. Seek first the kingdom of God.

Mat 6:33, But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.

Seeking demands perseverance and zeal that will not be denied until the desired objective is attained. Drive – desire – determination. When we seek with all we have, we are surrendering our independence and trusting Him to care for us. Seeking is a volitional issue. Seek and you shall find.

Jer 29:13, God has promised in his word, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

Everything you do in life has some type of motivation behind it. Mental attitude is the key to motivation, not feelings or emotion. Attitude toward doc. and spiritual growth determines proper motivation. The believer is either motivated by doctrine in the soul and the filling of the Holy Spirit or by the lust patterns of the OSN and Satan’s cosmic system.

Don’t worry about tomorrow.

Mat 6:34, Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The Christian life is meant to be lived one day at a time. Every day is a grace gift given to him as part of his allotted time. The fact that the believer lives another day on the earth is a sign that God has a job for him to do. Every day is a special day. To restrict care to to-day is to begin to master the Christian way of life.

– Life is fragile.

– Life is short.

– Death is certain.

The children of God need not succumb to the perils of anxiety. We should not have anxiety over material necessities. Our Lord wants us to learn these lessons: Trust in God – faith is so important. “He will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” Be at peace and rest.

Internet Church Service – May 7, 2023; The Angelic Conflict - Part 17 is in HD Audio ONLY; with hover pop-up scripture references in Notes.

The Angelic Conflict - Part 18 - The opportunity to glorify God in the angelic conflict comes quickly, when least expected, when the believer has reached a peak in his spiritual life, so it is totally undeserved suffering.

When passed by the mature believer, it results in a great phenomenon that occurs perhaps only once or twice in every generation: a doubling of escrow blessings, Job 42:12!

Job 2 - Satan does not admit that he was wrong about Job.

Satan’s blind arrogance has led him to the conclusion that he not only knows better, but is better!

Satan is saying that if God would just take away his health that Job would collapse and fail.

There is no one who is more inconsistent in his thinking than the super-genius of all time, Satan!

In this second test, Satan was able to inflict upon Job loss of health, but he was not allowed the power to take his life!

Satan is the source of certain diseases, Job 2:6-8; Mat 12:22; Luk 13:16; Acts 10:38.

“present” = jatsab = to take one’s stand or to set oneself against another, to oppose.

“And he (Job) still holds fast his integrity although you (Satan) ignited Me against him to ruin him without cause”

This is evidence testing and suffering for blessing for no reason except the glorification of God - the main reason why we are here!

When a believer has the doctrine and has attained what Job has attained, that believer has what it takes to handle and pass the test!

Whenever there’s any physical pain, emotional pain, mental pain, and loss of health - Bible doctrine is the soul is far far greater!!

One of the greatest moments of spirituality in all of human history was when Job felt so bad, emotionally and physically.

Bible doctrine in your soul, metabolized doctrine, is far greater than any adversity of life!

You may not be able to handle this now, but when you can handle it you will have the experience!

Not only is Job in pain but he is also socially ostracized!

No woman can love a man unless she has something in her soul far greater than the mere superficialities of physical attraction toward him.

What brings out the best in Job brings out the worst in his wife!

Manhood is not muscle and macho, manhood is integrity! True love for a man should be based upon his integrity!

He is going to accept this as a gift from God just as he accepted all the prosperity!

Job 42:10 “The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold.”
