For the truth's sake which abides in us…and it shall be with us forever...2 John 1:2…

 

The Spirit of the Evil people are deceivers and Antichrists…

And now I beseech (I beg) you, lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we should walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh (His death, burial, and resurrection). This is the deceiver and the antichrist...2 John 1:5-7… Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory (the self) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abides forever...1 John 2:15-17…For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is begotten (born) of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. And who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God...1 John 5:3-5?

 

Do you believe Jesus Christ came in the flesh…Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead three days later? Yes or no?

 

They…those who do not believe the facts of Jesus dying and being raised from the dead…are antichrist spirits and deceiving spirits. Their authority is not from our Creator…there are many religions and people who do not believe Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead. Such as the current Jewish religion…Hindus…Muslims…those who believe in their ancestors…satanic religions…etc. You should not trust anyone with spiritual advice unless they indeed confess Jesus died and rose from the dead.

 

The Good news of Jesus Christ death burial and resurrection…

I tell you the truth…Jesus the Christ from the town of Nazareth in Israel of His day…died on the cross after being scourged…then rose three days later. Jesus Christ never broke one of the Ten Commandments…which was the minimum requirements for any Jew born into the tribe of Judah among men. Jesus died and was raised having never broke one of the Ten Commandments. Jesus died so you could never choose to do an evil or wrong thing…or as the Bible calls it a sin.

 

Jesus said if you follow Him then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8:32). Jesus said if you follow Him then you will never hunger and thirst (John 6:35). Jesus said as it is written… But if God doth so clothes the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles (unbelievers…non-Christians in today terms) seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek you first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof...Matthew 6:30-34.

 

Jesus said you will not hunger and thirst…you will know the truth needed for your soul to free from obeying anything not God…Jesus said do not even worry about tomorrow and to seek first the kingdom of God (Heaven). Do you want to go to Heaven where there is eternal life not eternal destruction? Yes or no?

 

Jesus said… Come unto me, all ye that labor (work) and are heavy laden (burdened), and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (His teaching of truth and obedience to the truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient) and lowly in heart (humble) and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...Matthew 11:28-30.

 

Jesus will never you ask you to do a wrong or evil thing…Jesus will reveal the truth to you so you can do right by your Creator…Jesus as in obedience to the truth will make sure you do not hunger and thirst…will you allow Jesus to teach or reveal the truth to you so you can know the truth that sets your soul free from evil? Yes or no?

 

Jesus said…as it is written…And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen (after His resurrection from the dead to His 11 disciples). And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (chooses to ignore His death, burial, and resurrection or to dis obey the truth) shall be condemned…And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover….So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. (Mark 16:14-20) Will you be baptized…yes or no? Have you been baptized in obedience to Jesus…yes or no?

 

There is a day in which God will Judge the world and destroy the current Heavens and Earth…

but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up...2 Peter 3:7-10…and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,...2 Thessalonians 1:7-9…

 

The Prophecy of the New Heaven and Earth and City…

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God: and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away...Revelation 21:1-4

And He that sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true. And He said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely...Revelation 21:5-6…Do you want free waters of life…yes or no?

 

…He that overcomes shall inherit these things (The Great Tribulation…and the hour of temptation which comes upon the whole world)…; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But for the fearful (those scared to confess faith in Jesus through obedience), and unbelieving (those who choose not to believe the facts…the antichrists), and abominable (those who believe but will not be cleansed), and murderers, and fornicators (those who have sex outside of marriage), and sorcerers (magicians), and idolaters (those who worship anything other than God), and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death....Revelation 21:7-8

 

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely…...Revelation 22:17.

 

Prayer

Father please forgive our trespasses against you in our hearts, minds, souls, spirits and even in our strength…please meet our souls deepest needs…so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

How Jesus was required to Remember the Sabbath Day...

In the Ten Commandments...which was the minimum requirements Jesus (from the tribe of Judah not a priest from the tribe of Levi) to be sinless...The remember the Sabbath Day was a commandment which when obeyed left one ready to worship on the day God would receive worship from His people...The Jew when he remembered the Sabbath Day...would have kept the other 9 commandments so according to our English Roman Calendar would have been ready to worship on Saturday...instead of offering an animal sacrifice.


Here are the Ten commandments shortened for ease from Exodus chapter 20:


1. You will have no other gods before Me.

2. You will not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth

3. You will not take the name of the LORD your God in vain

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor your father and your mother

6. You will not kill.

7. You will not commit adultery.

8. You will not steal.

9. You will not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10. You will not covet


As a Jew if you had kept the other 9 commandments then you were in the worship assembly...not the sacrifice an animal line...so remember the Sabbath Day was a requirement so you would not have to offer a sinner's sacrifice...and would have been accepted in worship.


Jesus in talking to the Samaritan woman told her anyone could be accepted on any day If they were worshiping God in Spirit and Truth...As it is written...But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (Joh 4:23-24)


After Jesus died and rose from the dead and the Apostles began the church on the Day of Pentecost...found recorded in the book of Acts chapter 2...this word from Jesus became in effect the replacement or the fulling of the remember the Sabbath Day so you could be accepted by God in worship.


Jesus as it is written in Mark 12:29-31 said...And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, you will love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mar 12:29-31)


As it is written...Jesus Christ said...If any man come to Me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be my disciple. (Luk 14:26-27)



So in our terms...when go to the worship assembly we call church...remember enter to worship and leave to serve.


Pray with me...

Father please help us keep ourselves in the truth and walk in the Spirit so we can always call on You and worship You anytime...please meet our soul's deepest needs and heal our sounds caused by accidents and sinful behavior...in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.

Jesus said Judge not unless you be judged by your same judgement, meaning if you do not forgive you cannot be forgiven because your judgement is forgiveness should be limited...so your forgiveness is bound by your mercy as Jesus said blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.


Mat 5:7  Blessed are the merciful, for they shall find mercy.

Mat 7:1-2  Do not condemn others, so that you yourself will not be condemned;  2  For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged; and with what measure you mete out, it shall be measured again to you.


Mat 6:5-15  And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, in order that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.  6  But you, when you pray, enter into a private room; and after shutting the door, pray to your Father Who is in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly.  7  And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do; for they think that by multiplying their words they shall be heard.  8  Now then, do not be like them; for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.  9  Therefore, you are to pray after this manner: 'Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name;  10  Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven;  11  Give us this day our daily bread;  12  And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors;  13  And lead us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.'  14  For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  15  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
