Some promises from Jesus the Christ of Nazareth for His Christians…


2Jn 1:2 AFV For the sake of the truth that is dwelling in us, and shall be with us forever…

If you love the Truth…then the Truth you have learned will never leave you.


1Jn 5:15-16 AFV And if we know that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him. 16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin that is not unto death, he shall ask, and He will give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning that sin, I do not say that he should make any supplication to God…

We can pray Jesus’s will and it will be done…we can ask for the forgiveness of others unless they are willingly sinning unto their spiritual death…


Rom 8:1-2 AFV Consequently, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit; 2 Because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has delivered me from the law of sin and death.

If you are faithful in Jesus…then you are in no way condemned but are free to live your life of truth for Jesus.


Rom 8:26-30 ASV And in like manner the Spirit also helps our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (spoken or heard); 27 and He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren: 30 and whom He foreordained, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified…

The promise of the Hoy Spirit is having God inside you praying through whatever circumstance you find yourself into…a silent prayer partner…that you will stay saved…making intercession for our souls according to the all-knowing will of God…so trust in your baptism…trust in your promise of the Holy Spirit…and walk according to Jesus will.


Father we know these are just a few promises found in Your only Fathered Son Jesus…please renew our faith and help us in repentance to find Your mercy…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Some promises from Jesus the Christ of Nazareth for His Christians…


King James Bible...is it of from Heaven or men…


Yes, I believe Peter oversaw the writing of the King James Bible and at the time was in Heaven…yes, I believe he was not on earth and in Heaven…King James of Great Britain…gathered all the known original manuscripts and placed all the scholars in a room and said figure the Truth out…then when the truth was finally revealed…King James was called a heretic because the Truth did not align with Catholic opinions. However, it was the perfect time…Gutenburg printing press had been invented and the first thing he made copies of was the King James Bible…and the King of Great Britain at the time made it a public knowledge and changed the world forever with the Truth, which he made available to any soul to know the Truth of Jesus for salvation to be sought after.


Listen to the promise Peter an Apostle of Jesus has from our Lord Jesus Christ…

Mat 16:15-19 KJV He saith unto them, but whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven…with this promise Peter could change the word of God by loosing its requirements or binding new requirements.


Then before Peter’s death…Peter through inspiration of the Holy Spirit…says…

2Pe 1:12-15 KJV Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present Truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet (worthy), as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavor that ye may be able after my decease (no longer on earth) to have these things always in remembrance. We now have a record of Holy Scripture after Peter’s death in the first century.


No Scripture came from the mind or opinions of men or women…

2Pe 1:20-21 KJV Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation (human opinions). 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.


Moved by the Holy Spirit…as in they had no choice in what was said or revealed. Understanding is not prophecy…wisdom is not prophecy…knowledge is revealed by prophecy…and the testimony (faithful witness) of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy…

Rev 19:10 KJV And I (John) fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.


Jesus is the Spirit of Truth and is revealed through the Holy Spirit we call inspiration as in they had no choice in what was said.

Joh 14:6-7 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. 7 If ye had known Me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.


If it is truth…then it is Jesus revealing His will for the Truth to be obeyed. There is no Truth without Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 22:7-8) said…Mat 11:27-30 KJV 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. 28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke (teaching of the Truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient) and lowly (humble) in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.


Jesus Christ is the Only qualified One to redeem sinners from their evil ways and deeds. Jesus never broke on one of the Ten Commandments being from the tribe of Judah…Jesus only had to meet the minimum requirements of obeying the Ten Commandments…and Jesus was punished as if He had broken all Ten of the Commandments even though He had never chosen to do an evil or sinful deed. Yes I believe we need to display the Ten Commandments everywhere…it was the minimum requirements for Jesus to be sinless.


Jesus died to forgive you of all wrongs and crimes against God…in order for Him to reveal the Truth to you…so you can be right with God by changing your will and heart to love the Truth and be reconciled and forever faithful to His Father. Will you do right when the Truth is revealed to you? Yes or no?


Joh 4:23-26 KJV But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am He. Jesus also said… For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten (Fathered Human) Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish (not will not…but should not) but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned (because he can obey the Truth at any time before Judgement Day): but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only (Fathered) begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest (made known like the manifest of ship’s cargo), that they are wrought (sanctified) in God.


Jesus will forgive any sin…but we must forsake our evil deeds the Bible calls sin by following the Truth revealed to us to be reconciled with God.


Father please confirm these Truths to us and we renounce anything that is not from You our Creator…please continue to do what is best for our soul and show us mercy on the Day of Judgement…for we cannot be saved unless You do…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

King James Bible...is it of from Heaven or men…


Have you ever wondered why people were told different things in order to be saved?


Below is a list of things told people what they must do to be saved found written in the New Testament of Christ which is the New Agreement (covenant, testament) between God and creation...


Acts 16:30-34 …30 and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. 32 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately. 34 And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God…


Acts 2:37-38 …37 now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? 38 And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto Him…


Acts 22: 6-16, 6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. 7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 8 And I answered, who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 9 And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of Him that spake to me. 10 And I said, what shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. 11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me I came into Damascus. 12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there, 13 came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him. 14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. 15 For thou shalt be a witness for Him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. 16 And now why tarriest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on His (Jesus of Nazareth) name…


On each of these conversion examples, the hearers each were told what they needed to hear in order to be saved. The jailer was told to believe on the Lord Jesus and he would be saved, and then was baptized. The sinners in Jerusalem were told to repent and be baptized for the remission of their sins and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. These were not told to believe on the Lord Jesus. Saul that became the Apostle Paul was told to arise and be baptized and wash away his sins calling on the name of the Lord. All three obeyed what was told them in order to be saved. All three were told different things to do in order to be saved. It really boils to down to the roadmap to salvation.


For example, if I was in America and in California, then I asked how do I get to Tennessee? The one giving directions would tell me, Go across the Rocky Mountains, across the continental divide, down into the Great Plains, then into Arkansas and across the Mississippi River then you will be in Tennessee. So I am traveling along and get to the Great Plains and ask again, how to do I get to Tennessee? They answer me, go into Arkansas, then go across the Mississippi River then you will be in Tennessee. So then when I get to Arkansas I ask the same question, how do I get to Tennessee? They answer oh, it is simple go across the Mississippi River and then you will be in Tennessee. You see in this illustration, I asked the same question, how do I get to Tennessee? I got three different answers based on where I was at.


In the three conversions listed above in the book of Acts, they each received an answer based on where they were spiritually in order to be saved. All three went through the same steps in order to be saved. The jailer did not know who Jesus was and was told to believe on the Lord Jesus. Then it says the word was preached unto him and he was baptized. In the Jerusalem group, these people were told by Peter they had crucified Jesus the One that was to save them and they asked what must they do because they had killed the Savior. They already believed and confessed that He was the savior, and they were simply told to repent and be baptized for the remission of their sins and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Saul, had a direct encounter with Jesus. There was no doubt he now believed after being struck blind, and he was fasting and praying for three days. Then according to the word from Jesus, Ananias came and told him what he must do in order to be saved, to arise and be baptized washing away his sins calling on the name of Jesus. All three were told exactly what then needed to hear in order to be saved, based on where they were in relation to the doctrine of salvation.


In essence, every person who has never heard the message of Jesus doing us a favor by becoming a man and being born of a virgin, and then obeying the righteous demand of the Law never choosing to do evil and then laying his life down as a substitute for the sins of any who believe and obey Him. This is the first step, to hear the message of the Redeemer’s sacrifice. That Jesus died and was raised so you would never have to choose a wrong or evil things again and so all your wrongs can be forgiven. Then those who hear this message are left with a choice, to believe this message of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, or not to. To those that believe they must then choose to obey what Jesus said in order to be cleansed.


The next step then is repentance, it is a turning away from self and this world and a turning to Jesus and His New Agreement between God and mankind called the New Testament of Jesus Christ. Then the next step, is confession, we cannot be secret Christians. We must be willing to faithful to Jesus even to the point of death, in other words it cannot be just head knowledge of the facts. The devils believe and tremble. It is not belief that saves you but trusting that obeying Jesus words will saved you.


We usually take a public confession right before baptism, by asking do you believe that Jesus is the only begotten son of God the Savior of mankind? Then the next step based on their answer is to be baptized for the remission of sins and then they will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Some people claim that you are trying to earn your salvation by submitting to baptism, but in reality or according to God and His word, you are being submissive allow God to make you into a New Creature by washing away your sins and filling you with the Holy Spirit. In essence, you die to yourself and are buried with Jesus in the watery grave of baptism being risen with Him in the faith of the operation of God. Col 2:11-12, 11 in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; 12 having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. Then you are a New Creature, 2 Cor 5:17, 17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. Then we must remain faithful to the One that has called us to Himself unto death.


Father please meet our souls deepest needs and heal our souls deepest wounds and forgive our sins that we may prosper and be in health as our souls prospers and we ask you to remove anything that hinders us from obeying the Truth…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
