"Who Do You Think You Are ?"

 

Romans 12:1-10 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto GOD, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of GOD. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as GOD hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: so we, being many, are one body in CHRIST, and every one members one of another.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching: or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;"

     "For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself" (Galatians 6:3). We must think correctly about ourselves and not be puffed up with an exaggerated and unrealistic idea of our own importance and superiority. We must not have a lofty, proud view of ourselves, but instead we must see ourselves as GOD does. We may believe we are something; GOD says that without HIM we are nothing ! We think we are a big number, but we are actually a zero apart from the LORD. Yet, we must not be discouraged by our own nothingness and lack of importance. The good news is that GOD, in HIS grace, can make something out of nothing.

     Martin Luther once said, "GOD created the world out of nothing (Hebrews 11:3 pictured above) and as long as we are nothing GOD can make something out of us." Here is some advice for anyone who considers himself a V.I.P. (Very Important Person):

Sometime when you're feeling important, sometime when your ego's way up; sometime when you take it for granted that you are the prize winning "pup"; sometime when you feel that your absence would leave an unfillable hole, just follow these simple instructions, and see how it humbles your soul. Take a bucket and fill it with water, put you hand in it up to your wrist. Now pull it out fast and the hole that remains is the measure of how you'll be missed. You may splash all you please as you enter, and stir up the water galore, but STOP and you'll find in a minute, it's back where it was before.

May we never forget that our SAVIOR, the high and lifted up ONE (Isaiah 6:3 pictured above; John 12:41), humbled HIMSELF for our sakes and was obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:8) GWZ

"WARNING: Do NOT Claim Your Own Righteousness"

 

Deuteronomy 9:1-29 "Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, a people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak ? Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy GOD is HE which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire HE shall destroy them, and HE shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee. Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy GOD hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doeth drive them out from before thee. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nation the LORD thy GOD doth drive them out from before thee, and that HE may perform the WORD which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Understand therefore, that the LORD thy GOD giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

Remember, and forget not, how thou provoked the LORD thy GOD to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD. Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you. When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water; and the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of GOD; and on there was written according to all the WORDs, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your GOD, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you. And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke HIM to anger.

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also. And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your GOD, and ye believed HIM not, nor hearkened to HIS voice. Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said HE would destroy you. I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O LORD GOD, destroy not THY people and thine inheritance, which THOU hast redeemed through THY greatness, which THOU hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember THY servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubborness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: lest the land whence THOU broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which HE promised them, and because HE hated them, HE hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. Yet they are THY people and THINE inheritance, which THOU broughtest out by THY mighty power and by THY stretched out arm."

     This chapter is a fascinating account of the LORD, through Moses, addressing HIS people prior to their entering the Promised Land. They would encounter nations mightier, taller, and stronger than themselves (vv.1-2), yet GOD was greater than all of Israel's enemies and would empower HIS people to conquer them (v.3). They were not to think that their conquests were due to their own righteousness; GOD would enable them because of the wickedness of the heathen and because of HIS promises to the patriarchs (vv.4-5). Israel was reminded of how disobedient they had been:

(1) They were a rebellious people for their entire forty years in the wilderness (v.7).

(2) Israel received the Ten Commandments at Horeb (Mt.Sinai) yet quickly broke GOD's Law with their golden calf idolatry (vv.8-21). GOD was so angered that HE would have destroyed the nation, including Aaron, had it not been for the intercessory prayer of Moses (vv.19-20, 26-29). 

(3) After the golden calf fiasco, Israel continued to provoke the LORD to wrath (v.22).

(4) Kadesh-Barnea was a turning point where the people were unwilling to possess the land that GOD had already promised to give them, and with the exception of Joshua and Caleb, refused to believe the LORD (v.23); thus, that generation was condemned to die in the wilderness.

     As believers in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, we must never think that our own righteousness is the reason we are enjoying the blessings of GOD. Every good thing we have is due solely to the mercy and grace of GOD. The Apostle Paul did not point to his own righteousness: "And be found in HIM, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of CHRIST" (Philippians 3:9 pictured above). Let us always keep this perspective. GWZ

"GOD Loves the Unborn"

 

GOD'S VIEW ON LIFE

     The ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF refers to the unborn as literal human beings. In HIS OWN WORDs, HE stated that the virgin Mary "...was found with CHILD of the HOLY GHOST." (Matthew 1:18). This verse refers to JESUS CHRIST when HE was still in Mary's womb.

     When speaking of the unborn baby, John, the Bible states, "...the babe leaped in her womb..." (Luke 1:41). Refusing a helpless baby the right to be born is murder and is therefore against GOD's will. Proverbs 6:16-17 states, "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto HIM: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood..."

THE CHOICE FOR LIFE !

     Friend, did you know that GOD's HOLY WORD speaks of others who are unborn in a different kind of way ? However, these can choose to be born or not. In the Bible, JESUS explained this to a very moral and religious man named Nicodemus. "JESUS answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD." (John 3:3). Thinking that JESUS was talking about a physical birth, "Nicodemus saith unto HIM, How can a man be born when he is old ? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born ?" (John 3:4). JESUS' answer was that a man must have a second birth -  a spiritual birth - to enter into the Kingdom of GOD. "...Except a man be born of water (the first birth from the Mother's womb) and of the SPIRIT (from the WORD of GOD), he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD." (John 3:5). JESUS did not use the word water to refer to baptism; instead, HE is speaking of the first physical birth. JESUS reaffirms this meaning in verse six, when HE said, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh (physical birth); and that which is born of the SPIRIT is spirit (born again spiritual birth)."

WHY A SECOND BIRTH ?

     According to the Bible, GOD said that Adam, the first man, would die the very day that he ate the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. GOD warned Adam, "...in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:17). Adam did not die a physical death that day. His death was a spiritual death which passed upon all mankind. "Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12). All mankind has inherited spiritual death from Adam and must be "born again" to have spiritual life.

GOD LOVES THE UNBORN !

     JESUS told Nicodemus how to be born spiritually in John 3:14-15: "...even so must the SON of MAN be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have eternal life." Please notice that only belief in GOD is required for spiritual life, and it is nothing you can earn through doing good works of any kind. John 3:16 says, "For GOD so loved the world (spiritually unborn), that HE gave HIS only begotten SON (to die on the cross), that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life." GOD promised that those who believe in HIM would have everlasting life, not a probationary life.

     If you have never been born again, you are still spiritually unborn; but GOD loves you, and HE has made a way for you to become HIS spiritual child. Friend, according to GOD's Holy WORD, you are a creation of GOD, but you are not considered a child of GOD until you are born of the SPIRIT - born again spiritually. The only way that you can become a child of GOD is by putting your complete faith in JESUS CHRIST to save your soul. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, ... For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" (1st.Corinthians 15:1-2a,3-4). Becoming a child of GOD is made very clear in HIS Holy WORD. "For ye are all the children of GOD by faith in CHRIST JESUS." (Galatians 3:26). Think of it ! The very moment that you call on JESUS CHRIST, trusting HIM to save your soul, you are born again into the Family of GOD, and you are HIS child forever ! "But as many as received HIM, to them gave HE power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on HIS name:" (John 1:12).

     If you would be willing to turn to CHRIST in repentance and faith, pray this simple prayer of salvation:

LORD, I know that I am a sinner, and I believe YOU died and rose again for me. I am trusting YOU to forgive me. Come into my heart and save me. Help me to live for YOU always. In JESUS' name I pray, AMEN.

WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE ?

_____ I choose to be born again of the SPIRIT by completely trusting in JESUS CHRIST to save my soul forever. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised HIM from the dead, thou shalt be saved. . .For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." (Romans 10:9,13).

_____ I am content with being born once and choose to remain spiritually dead (unborn). "...he that believeth not the SON shall not see life; but the wrath of GOD abideth on him." (John 3:36b).

"BEHOLD, NOW is the accepted time; BEHOLD, NOW is the day of salvation." (2nd.Corithians 6:2b); you may not have another chance, this moment is all that you are promised.

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie

"I Hate Religion - Religion Has NO ROOM for JESUS !"

 

     I hate "religion" because of its liturgies. I hate "religion" because of its pomp. I hate "religion" because it is sending more people to a Devil's Hell. I hate "religion" because it complicates something that is so simple even a little child can understand it. I hate "religion" because it lies, manipulates, demands, deceives, controls, and did I say it takes what belongs to JESUS and gives it to mere men. JESUS said that even a little child will understand HIM.

Mark 10:13-16 "And they brought young children to HIM, that HE should touch them: and HIS disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when JESUS saw it, HE was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer (Let) the little children to come unto ME and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of GOD. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of GOD as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And HE took them up in HIS arms, put HIS hands upon them and blessed them."

     Now unless you want to call JESUS a liar, HE said that even a little child can understand WHO HE is. Now what child or adult, these days, has any idea what "religion" has really done for them ?

Matthew 11:25-30 "At that time JESUS answered and said, I thank THEE, O FATHER, LORD of Heaven and Earth, because THOU hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and has revealed them unto babes. Even so, FATHER: for so it seemed good in THY sight. All things are delivered unto ME of MY FATHER: and no man knows the SON, but the FATHER: neither knows any man the FATHER, save the SON, and HE to whomsoever the SON will reveal HIM. Come unto ME, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I AM meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light."

     Do these WORDs describe your "religion"; easy, light, restful ? I'll bet not. How many people do you have to go to before you get your prayers answered, or not ? How many works do you have to do to get your sins forgiven, or not ? "Religion" is not simple, it's not easy and you have no rest nor forgiveness for your souls !

2nd.Corinthians 11:3 "But I (Paul) fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in CHRIST."

     The Apostle Paul feared for the flock. Paul feared that "false gospels" would come and those who were not grounded in the simplicity that is CHRIST would follow after them. He feared that wolves would come into the church and not spare the flock. He even said it again in Galatians 1:8-9 pictured above.

     Now I'll bet you are wondering what all this has to do with hating "religion" ? Because "religion" is a liar, it's a deceiver, it takes what belongs to JESUS and gives it to mere men. It blinds the eyes of those who are searching for GOD to the simplicity that is in the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST.

     A little child can know that he or she does bad things (sins). A little child can know that JESUS was put on the cross to pay for the bad things that they have done. A little child can know that 3 days later JESUS was alive again. A little child can know that if they pray to JESUS and ask HIM to forgive them and to come into their heart and love and be with them forever, that HE will. A little child can know the simplicity that is in JESUS.

     As an adult, can you know that you do bad things (sins) ? As an adult can you know that JESUS loves you ? As an adult can you know that JESUS was put on a cross to pay for the bad things that you have done ? As an adult can you know that 3 days later JESUS rose from the dead and was alive again ? As an adult can you know that if you pray and ask JESUS to forgive you and come into your heart and love you and be with you forever, that HE will ? The picture below is the simple Gospel of CHRIST that the Apostle Paul feared and warned that it would be corrupted by wolves in sheep's clothing:

     Toss out your man-made "religion" and replace it with a personal "relationship" with the GOD WHO created the Heavens and the Earth and You ! For more info on how to be saved please see the picture below and also the QR code which can be scanned into for a salvation message.

"Ye Shall Be Witnesses"

 

Acts 1:6-11 "When they (HIS disciples) therefore were come together, they asked of HIM, saying, LORD, wilt THOU at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel ? And HE said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the FATHER hath put in HIS OWN power. But ye shall receive power, after that the HOLY GHOST is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto ME both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the Earth. And when HE had spoken these things, while they beheld, HE was taken up; and a cloud received HIM out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward Heaven as HE went up, behold, two men (angels) stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven ? this same JESUS, which is taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen HIM go into Heaven."

     Forty days after HIS resurrection, the LORD JESUS was about to ascend back to the FATHER in Heaven. The awe of HIS resurrection from the dead was not so startling now for the disciples, and their attention turned to the question of the coming kingdom - would it, at that time, be established for Israel ? Thus, JESUS instructed and assured them that the timing of the coming kingdom was under the FATHER's authority. However, they (the disciples) would receive power from GOD, through the HOLY SPIRIT, to be witnesses, testifying of what they knew, telling of the redemption available in CHRIST JESUS, and carrying forth that message to "the uttermost part of the Earth." They were to present a systematic, simultaneous, and sustained proclamation of the truth of the Gospel to all the peoples of the Earth - both Jew and Gentile alike. Mark's record of the LORD JESUS' commission to HIS disciples is particularly compelling: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15 pictured above).

     We must not ignore the applicability to our own day of JESUS' command in Mark and HIS WORD's in today's text. We are to seek to be disciple-makers at every given opportunity - "Ye shall receive power. . .Ye shall be witnesses unto ME. . .unto the uttermost part of the Earth" (v.8). What have you done with that charge ? What effort have you made to proclaim the Gospel message (see pictured above) to the unsaved: JESUS died to bring lost sinners who trust in HIM to the FATHER; put your faith in the risen CHRIST alone and become a child of GOD - that is the message we are commissioned to carry to the ends of the Earth. JESUS decreed, "Ye shall be witnesses." Are you fulfilling your task ? JED

"Persuaded !"

 

Romans 8:31-39 "What shall we then say to these things ? If GOD be for us, who can be against us ? HE that spared not HIS OWN SON, but delivered HIM up for us all, how shall HE not with HIM also freely give us all things ? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of GOD's elect ? It is GOD that justifieth. WHO is HE that condemneth ? It is CHRIST that died, yes rather, that is risen again, WHO is even at the right hand of GOD, WHO also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of CHRIST ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword ? As it is written, For THY sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of GOD, which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD."

     Are you persuaded ? Persuaded that you are a sinner for whom CHRIST died ? Persuaded that your sins have been forgiven ? Persuaded that GOD is doing a marvelous work in you ? Persuaded that an inheritance is reserved in Heaven for you ? Persuaded that CHRIST is coming again to receive you unto HIMSELF ? Persuaded that GOD is in full control of this world and will fulfill HIS purpose concerning all things ?

     Paul was a man who was persuaded of all that and much more. He was persuaded that Timothy had unfeigned faith just like his grandmother and mother (2nd.Timothy 1:5 pictured above). He was persuaded that his GOD was "able to keep that which [he had] committed unto HIM against that day" - the day of the coming of CHRIST (2nd.Timothy 1:12). The Apostle was convinced (persuaded) that the saints at Rome were "full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another (Romans 15:14 pictured above). One of the most crucial doctrines of which Paul was persuaded was the doctrine of eternal security - he was "persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of GOD, which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD" (vv.38-39).

     Paul was convinced - persuaded - of these things and so much more on the basis of the WORD of GOD. He admonished Timothy to teach others what he had been taught by the Apostle (2nd.Timothy 2:2). He challenged his young companion to study the WORD of GOD diligently, to know that it was GOD-breathed, and then to preach it with conviction and power (2nd.Timothy 2:15 pictured above; 3:16; 4:2). Are you persuaded of these realities as well ? JED

"CHRIST's Public Prayer"

 

Luke 23:33-38 "And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified HIM, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said JESUS, FATHER, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted HIS raiment, and cast lots. And the people around beholding. And the rulers also with them derided HIM, saying, HE saved others; let HIM save HIMSELF, if HE be CHRIST, the CHOSEN of GOD. And the soldiers also mocked HIM, coming to HIM, and offering HIM vinegar. And saying, If THOU be the KING of the Jews, save THYSELF. And a superscription also was written over HIM in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrews, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

     This prayer is the only public intercessory prayer JESUS spoke during HIS incarnation. All other times we read regarding the LORD's prayers, we discover that they were spoken privately between FATHER and SON. The LORD began the practice of solitary prayer early in HIS ministry (Mark 1:35 pictured above). HE prayed the night before HE was crucified, with only the disciples watching (Matthew 26:39-46). HIS practice was so frequent that HIS disciples begged HIM to teach them how to pray (Matthew 6:8-13).

     What do we learn from this intercessory prayer ? First, it is obvious that our LORD wanted the people to hear HIS attitude as HE approached HIS impending death. HE was not screaming HIS innocence or begging for clemency. Second, HIS prayer indicated HIS willingness to accept HIS fate. HE knew that the events being played out were determined before the "foundation of the earth" (Ephesians 1:4-5). HE came to Earth to do the will of the FATHER (Luke 2:49; John 5:30). Third, this prayer shows part of CHRIST's ministry because it is an intercession for HIS people. An ordinary, sinful man would have pleaded for retribution, but HE yearned for the forgiveness of these executioners. Fourth, HE presented to all the depravity of their actions in putting to death the SON of GOD. Even though HIS substitutionary death was divinely planned in ages past, it did not take away the LORD's standard for righteousness and dignity at that moment. Fifth, JESUS used this opportunity to declare one final time that HE was ONE with the FATHER. HE was declaring THEIR relationship with each other. And last, just as JESUS forgave HIS executioners, we too must forgive those who wrong us (Ephesians 4:30-32 pictured above). KGL
