Thank you Bob .

Amen Brother Jesse!!

Thanks and God bless you.

Lucifer, ( anti-Christ) in Jerusalem claiming to be Jesus

what did jesus mean when he said , by his stripes we are healed

Hello Dave. In my understanding, Acts 2:38 & Acts 9:18 refers to water baptism & not Spirit baptism ( Ephesians 4:5). Repentance & water baptism went hand-in-hand in those early days, unlike what we generally see today.

Yours was a very fine response, brother Jesse, sharing what happens at death for the believer, as well as the assurance of his eternal security while on Earth - that security that comes from the Holy Spirit sealing & not from anything that we could ever do. Thank you for taking the time in your busy schedule to share these joyful & comforting Truths to us all.

In 539 BC Babylon was taken without a fight. The Persian's snuck in through Babylon's aqueduct system.

Modern day Mystery Babylon will fall in the same manner. No one will save the red white and blue.

Jesse, No you didn't leave it out I got that part, what I'm asking is if I become faithless or "backslide"(a Biblical term)? Why the parable of the lost coin? or the 10 virgins with oil or (oil that had run out)?

The trinity doctrine is man made , its the bedrock of the Catholic church .

Its not anywhere found in the scriptures . Unless scriptures are twisted to mean something other than the true meaning .

Its extremely confusing and that should reveal its origin , God is not the author of confusion.

The bible plainly says Jesus is the Son of God . If you believed confess that then God dwells in you according to the scriptures . 1 john 4.15 , nothing about the trinity doctrine .

If you believe Jesus is the Christ then you are Born of God ,1 john 5v1 .

Where does it say if you believe in the trinity doctrine you are Born of God ? it does not .

Gerald,

I left one thing out. It is His guarantee to us, not the other way around. The only thing He requires from us is faithfulness!

Trisha,

You are very welcome. The only thing I ask is that you take the things I've shared with you and study them out, search the scriptures. Unless the Lord confirms the things I've shared with you, it means nothing. God Bless, and stay strong in Christ Jesus!

Gerald,

Ephesians 1:14 says, which (or more literally who) is the earnest (or guarantee) of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. There are a lot of words in there, but each phrase is very meaty. It's after we heard, after we believed, we were sealed.

There are different kinds of sealings, even in scripture. A slave was branded. That was called a seal, or sign, or a signant. A fence or a hedge around an area was called sealing off the area. We hear it a lot with the police. They'll seal off an area.

And that's the use here. Let me just share this point with you first. We are sealed with the Holy Spirit. He doesn't give us a seal. He is the seal. He's the mark of ownership and He has sealed me so that no spiritual force or otherwise can penetrate my spirit. I've been sealed. I've been sealed by the Holy Spirit and filled with the Spirit of Christ.

A person who has received Christ has been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise who is the guarantee of our inheritance. It's nice to know that in the midst of our weaknesses that the presence of God's Spirit is our guarantee, until the redemption of the purchased possession.

In this use of the word redemption, it's making reference to the coming of Christ, when redemption is realized. Redemption means purchased. We've been purchased and we're sitting at the will call window. He hasn't picked us up yet. But when Christ comes, He's going to come for the purchased possession. That's you and me!

You might take note of Ephesians 4:30. It tells us that we are sealed with the Spirit of God "until" Christ comes. I'm preserved. I'm being kept for Christ at His coming. That's my guarantee that I am preserved for Him. Paul gives the doxology at the end of the verse. He says, unto the praise of His glory!

Dave, Food for thought here are some scriptures to think about: Acts: 8:35-38, Acts: 10:47, and Acts: 19

Isaiah 40:30

569

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall.

31 But they that wait for YHWH shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with

wings as eagles: they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

CHAPTER 41

1 Keep silence before Me, O islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them

draw near, then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment.

2 Who has raised up one from the east, at whose steps victory attends? He gives nations

before him, and makes him rule over kings; his sword makes them as the dust, his bow as

the driven stubble.

3 He pursues them, and passes on safely; the way with his feet, he treads not.

4 Who has wrought and done it? He that called the generations from the beginning. I

YHWH: who am the first, and with the lastpl am He.

5 The isles saw and feared; the ends of the earth trembled: they drew near, and came.

6 They helped every one his neighbor, and every one said to his brother, Be of good

courage.

7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smooths with the hammer, him

that smites the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good: and he fastened it with nails, that

it should not be moved.

8 But you, Yisra'el, My servant--Ya'akov whom I have chosen, the seed of Avraham My

friend,

9 You whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called you from the

uttermost parts thereof, and said unto you: You are My servant, I have chosen you and

not cast you away.

10 Fear you not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your Elohim; I strengthen

you: yes, I help you; yes, I uphold you with My victorious right hand.

11 Behold, all they that were incensed against you, shall be ashamed and confounded;

they that strove with you, shall be as nothing and shall perish.

12 You shall seek them, and shall not find them, even them that contended with you:

they that warred against you shall be as nothing, and as a thing

11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,evento them that believe on his name:13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Rev22-14

14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 5For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie

1 corytian 17

Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18For the

preaching of the cross is to them that

perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20Where is the wise?

Mathiu1:22-25

JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him

Good stuff Jesse thanks. I have a question( that might raise multiple other questions) forgive me. In vs 14 of Eph. it says: "which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession," what exactly does that mean? Could I lose the part(earnest) of my inheritance (spirit, Holy Ghost, communion with God, or whatever anyone calls it) Before ( or until ) redemption? I know it says we are sealed but isn't that His promise? What is OUR guarantee to HIM?

Thanks John I think that, ( in a sense ) is what I said. God Bless!

Hi Bonnie, Yes to your question. Here are some (for there are many) scriptures to look at; Matt. 10:30, John 8:58-59,( the" I am" in John 8 is the same "I am" used in Ex. 3:14 when God spoke to Moses), 1Tim.3:16, John 1:1-14, to mention a few, hope this helped. God Bless.

What does it mean to take up your cross

Jesse!

Thank you! That was the best answer to my question. I am so happy! I believe my sister excepted Jesus into heart heart at an early age. So that means she is with Jesus now. Thank you so much! Now if someone asks me if we go to heaven when we die, I can tell them this. God bless you!

This is a beautiful scripture and great to meditate on as well

Jesus is Gods son , that's the record of God . Are you your father ? No difference. Yes you came from him but that's it .

Why Trinity By the way its an honest question why so judgemental?

Amen Dave.

Thanks! I will note that.

Definitely helpful.

God bless.

Why Trinity Why did Jesus Christ say I can do nothing without my Father.

the holy goast has been showing the things in my drerams

he took me above the earth and i saw the world burning and all the souls vthat had the marh of the beast were burned up and he said that he is coming back to get his childern this was in another dream

Part 3 The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is God Almighty

And, Finally, WHO Is God, The JUDGE Of All?

13) God Almighty Is The JUDGE Of All!

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the

same, that thou shalt escape The Judgment Of God? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself Wrath against The Day Of Wrath and Revelation Of The Righteous JUDGMENT Of God! ( Romans 2 : 3, 5)

...God The JUDGE of all!...God Will JUDGE! ( Hebrews 12 : 23, 13 : 4)

...Strong Is The LORD God Who JUDGES!... ( Revelation 18 : 8)

JESUS CHRIST Is God, Because All The Verses In The Holy BIBLE,That Talk About GOD Being The JUDGE, Must Refer To JESUS CHRIST,SinceHEAloneJUDGES! The Father JUDGES no man! ( John 5 : 22)

The Father Has Committed All JUDGMENT To His SON, The LORD JESUS CHRIST!! ( John 5 : 22) Why?

"That All men should honour The SON, even asthey honour The Father. He that honoureth not The SON honoureth not The Father Who Hath Sent HIM!" ( John 5 : 23)

Precious friend, Bonnie, please be enriched, enlightened, and edified In The Triune GodHead!!!

Part 2 The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is God Almighty

9) JESUS CHRIST was WORSHIPPED!

( Matthew 2 : 11, 14 : 33, 28 : 9; Luke 24 : 52)

Not once did JESUS Say, "See thou do it not,"

as "an angel NOT to be worshipped,"spoke

in Revelation 19 : 10, And, 22 : 8-9!

Since ONLY The LORD God is to be worshipped!

( Exodus 34 : 14; Psalms 29 : 2, 45 : 11, 86 : 9, et al;

Matthew 4 : 10; Luke 4 : 8; Revelation 22 : 9):

Holy SCRIPTURE Clearly Teaches us JESUS CHRIST Is God!

10) Every knee shall bow, and "every tongue"

shall confess to GOD! ( Romans 14 : 11; Isaiah 45 : 21-23).

The GOD "every tongue is confessing to,"

Is The LORD JESUS CHRIST! ( Philippians 2 : 11)

11) JESUS CHRIST Is Called The SAVIOUR!

( Luke 2 : 11; Acts 5 : 30-31, 13 : 23; Titus 1 : 4, 2 : 13)

( 2 Peter 1 : 1, 11, 2 : 20, 3 : 18, 1 John 4 : 14)

ONLY Jehovah God ALONE Is The SAVIOUR!

( Isaiah 43 : 3, 11, 45 : 15, 21; Hosea 13 : 4; Luke 1 : 47)

( 1 Timothy 1 : 1, 2 : 3, 4 : 10; Titus 1 : 3, 2 : 10, 3 : 4; Jude 1 : 25)

Therefore, JESUS CHRIST Is God!

12) JESUS CHRIST Forgave sins! ( Matthew 9 : 2; Mark 2 : 5)

ONLY GOD Can Forgive sins! ( Mark 2 : 7)

Pure And Holy SCRIPTURE Teaches us ( Titus 2 : 13):

JESUS CHRIST Is The Great God, The

Only Saviour Who Can Forgive sin!!

If we Deny HIS Deity, how can HE FORGIVEus our sins?

After all, It isOnlyGod's OWNBLOOD( Acts 20 : 28 KJB!),

That Has Power To "CLEANSE us From ALL sin!" Amen?

to be continued...
