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:

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.
The Angelic Conflict - Part 41 - Bible doctrine is the least publicized of priorities in this world because this is the devil’s world.
2Co 4:4 “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the [apistos - those without doctrine], that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ”
Rev 12:9 - Satan deceives the whole world;
Paul said he was a preacher [kerux], 1Ti 2:7, 2Ti 1:11.
Point 11. How God is Glorified in the Angelic Conflict
The pastor-teacher must be gifted, prepared, qualified and filled with the Spirit and then God the Holy Spirit is able to take the information and teach every prepared believer.
stewardship = oikonomia = dispensation, period of time, namely the Church-age.
There’s an infinite gap between divine perfection and human imperfection, and grace is the infinite filler that fills the gap.
There’s nothing you can do in human effort or human merit or human energy or power in the spiritual life.
All of us are ordinary believers, but we have the grace and power offered to us to become extraordinary invisible heroes.
2Co 6:9 we are unknown yet well-known,
Invisible heroes are believers who execute the plan of God and recognize they are a vital part of the angelic conflict in human history, and avoid all the distractions of legalism, etc.
Like Bible doctrine and invisible heroes, the trial called the angelic conflict is the least publicized of all trials.
Eph 6:18-20 - make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, and speak boldly, as they ought to speak.
2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
Eph 3:13 Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, for they are your glory.
2Ti 1:15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me 2Ti 4:11 Only Luke is with me.
2Co 12:7 - an angel from Satan to buffet me - [kolaphizo = to maltreat with violence and rude language]
Any communicator of doctrine who is exposing the strategies and schemes of the devil and exposing the unfruitful deeds of darkness (Eph 5:11) is going to have adversities and tribulations.
Luk 23:28 “Stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.”
In the pulpit we give mystery doctrine so we can recognize it, but in life God brings tests so we can utilize it!
Your mastery of the mystery doctrine of the Church-age makes you competent and more than equal to any adversities or tests in this life!
