Crucified Naked For Shame?

8/29/2019

 
NO! We are traditionally taught that the Romans crucified people naked because they wanted to bring shame to the victims. But Jesus put it into my mind this morning that it doesn't make any sense, because the Romans admired and gloried nudity. They had many nude statues and pictures. They thought the naked body was beautiful. Jesus put into my mind that the real reason for nude crucifixion was to preserve the clothing. They didn't want the clothing to get stained with blood.
In that time, people didn't have all of the clothing stores that we have today. Of course, they could buy clothing in markets similar to today's flea markets. But clothing was something that was expensive or took a lot of time to make. They would not have wasted clothing. They wanted to keep the victims clothing for themselves or the soldiers families or to sell.
The bible confirms that they took and saved Jesus' clothing for themselves. Matt.27:35. Therefore the bible confirms the real reason for nude crucifixion. NOT shame.

To Those Who Think They Can Overthrow The Government With Guns:

8/28/2019

 
To Those Who Think They Can Overthrow The Government With Guns: Yes it is in the US constitution that we have the right to bear guns for the purpose to overthrow the government if and when they become tarrants/communist, etc.
But that was in 1776! At the time, people on both sides could fight only hand to hand and with simple rifles and simple hand guns. Now the US government has airplanes, helicopters, drones, missiles, tanks and more! No matter how powerful of a gun you have, no matter how many guns you own, and no matter how many people join your local militia, you will NEVER be able to overthrow any president or any governor or any possible future invasion. It's that simple. It's called REALITY! Wake up! Stop playing cowboys and Indians! It's not 1776 any more. It's 2019! It's time to grow up and accept the reality. Of course I believe in the right to have guns for self defense and hunting. But to allow anyone to buy very powerful guns that can kill 20-200 people in seconds, that's insane in the context of modern reality when we can not overthrow the government, nor stop an invasion with personal weapons, unless you want to allow individuals to buy nuclear weapons!
And I do realize that Hitler and other dictators removed gun rights & seized people's guns before they took total control and killed people. I'm not ignorant of history. But that doesn't erase the reality that you can not in modern times stop the local police department and can not stop the state and federal militaries if they come against you. They are too powerful with modern weapons.
Plus, today we live in a much more wicked world where democrats are mass shooting people in malls, schools, churches, concerts and other public places in large numbers extremely often!
I also realize that people can use knives and over weapons. I know all of the talking points on both sides. No one is trying to seize all guns from the US population. Both main sides in congress and ALL Republican and Democrat presidents have rightfully agreed that it's common sense to restrict ONLY SOME people and ONLY SOME guns and supplies.
Trump is right to restrict some guns and gun parts/supplies. And he should restrict even more. But of course NOT all.
I realize this is very unpopular opinion to conservatives because they have been brainwashed to worship guns. But I am not here to make friends. I am here to help people to use common sense and examine what and why they believe things and come to greater, more accurate truth in all things, especially in Jesus Christ.

THE LOWLY WILL BE EXALTED, AND THE EXALTED WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN

8/25/2019

 
1 Sam.16:1-13 David was the smallest & youngest of the 8 sons of Jesse.
The other sons were soldiers. But only David was anointed to be GOD's main servant, main warrior, his main man, his apostle of the time, the spiritual and physical leader of Israel.
Only David was not fearful of the giant Goliath.

It doesn't matter how small, poor, uneducated, poor speech, poor grammar, or insignificant that we might seem to ourselves or to other humans. Our Great BIG GOD can and will use us in VERY BIG ways if we are willing  to submit fully to Him, surrender our previous lives, and follow Him fully.

Remember that Moses was not a good speaker and needed his brother Aaron to speak for him sometimes and to assist him.

Luke 1:46-56 Mary was a young virgin lady in a time when women were not considered significant or important in ancient middle eastern culture. Today, she would be considered just a minor child. But GOD used her in a VERY BIG way! She was humble & GOD fearing woman. But GOD exalted her.

Luke 14:7-11 Don't seek fame or power. Don't exalt self.
But rather humble self. Then Jesus will in time exalt eventually.

Daniel 4 (Entire chapter) King Neb became prideful. Forgot the source of his power.
Jesus humbled him, brought him low for 7 years, as an animal/beast.

Trump will be brought low and humbled!
He quoted & praised a person who said that Trump is like a King of Israel and like the 2nd Coming of GOD!!!!
That's blasphemous!
As much as I love Trump, we must all proclaim that he has reached a similar level of vanity that Satan had/has, and that Assad has, and MUST repent!

Daniel 2:19-21 Daniel said that GOD brings up kings/kingdoms AND brings them down.

Ezekiel 17:22-24 Trees in this parable = kings/leaders as we saw in Dan.4

NOT ONLY presidents/kings & governments will be brought down and replaced, but also ministers/preachers ministries/churches.

Who would have ever heard of Sir Lancelot Brenton and remembered his name to this day, if it hadn't been for this translation of the Gk Septuagint? ONE MAN alone, with the help of The Holy Spirit, who translated the GK Septuagint and created a translation better than the KJV.  

Who would have remembered the name of Paul, except for his work for JEsus? If he had never gotten saved, NONE of us would know who Paul was.

Who would have ever imagined JESUS choosing pastor tim? Who would have ever heard my name in the middle east, or Asia, or Africa? NO ONE!   GOD could have chosen someone famous, rich and powerful. But instead, He chose to use the lowly.
That shows the power and mercy of GOD upon the poor and the lowly, the underdog, the black sheep of the families, the cast outs.   Those that no one else wants. GOD chooses.

EL-E-Lu-JE!!!

GOD Command/Cause Anyone To Sin???

8/22/2019

 
I've heard different preachers claim that GOD would NEVER tell anyone to sin, or to go against His Law, or to go against anything written in the bible. At first thought, that would sound correct to new converts, babes in Christ who haven't read much of the bible yet.
However, it was generally against GOD's will/law for a Hebrew man to marry (have sex with) a gentile woman, yet the bible says that it was GOD's will for Samson to be with the Palestinian. Judges 14:4. Since it was GOD's will, it was NOT against GOD's law for Samson. Samson was following GOD's will for him. It was NOT a sin for Samson.
Also, normally it is forbidden/sin to marry an adulteress. Yet, that's exactly what GOD/JESUS told Hosea to do! (Hosea 1:2) Hosea obeyed GOD. It was NOT a sin for him!
Also, normally, it would be sin to kill babies. Yet GOD commanded several times for Israel to kill everyone in a tribe/nation/city, including women and children and babies. While most people would not be able to understand the love of GOD in those events, the fact is that those children would had been sacrificed to demons by their own parents, or else raised in a demonic sadist religion to eventually murder many Israelites. It was an act of love and mercy to destroy those people and put a stop to their suffering under Satan's control.
GOD knows what He is doing! He calls different people for different tasks. GOD can, and has, commanded/led people to do what is normally not allowed. It's never sin to obey GOD. His actual living voice/will/command to you personally overrides what was written to the general population thousands of years ago!
No, GOD would never command or cause or tempt anyone to sin. BUT if HE commands something, or if it's His Will for you to do something, it's NOT sin!

Don't Condemn Innocent Samson!

8/22/2019

 
I just saw someone on Twitter calling Samson a "drunken whore monger"!!!
I am sick and tired of people insulting Samson! It was GOD's will for him to be with the women! And David was with just as many women! The bible NEVER says a bad word about Samson! GOD never condemned him in scripture! Stop condemning a man of GOD that GOD Himself doesn't condemn! Come out of false traditional western modern legalistic religious brainwashing! You should be VERY afraid of speaking evil against GOD's chosen servant Samson!
Of course, the false preacher blocked me instead of giving me specific scriptures. He could NOT give me the verses that I asked for. Because such verses do not exist! There are NOT any verses that proclaim that GOD condemned him or corrected him, nor that he repented, needed to ask for forgiveness or confessed any wrong.
Of course he had sin, as all men do. But the bible NEVER points out ANY of his sins. He was BORN a man of GOD and died a man of GOD!

Why Shroud Of Turin Can NOT Be Real

8/21/2019

 
 Deut. 4: 15 “So watch yourselves carefully, since you did not see any form on the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire, 16 so that you do not act corruptly and make a graven image for yourselves in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky, 18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water below the earth. 19 “And beware not to lift up your eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them, those which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven."

When THE LORD spoke the 10 Commandments directly to the people upon Mt. Horeb/Sinai, He did NOT appear to them. They only heard Him. This was so that they could not make an image of Him. The bible says that He is the same yesterday, today and forever, He changes not. He NEVER wanted us to make an image of Him. He also never allowed it.     
Therefore, it would not make any sense for Jesus to leave behind an image of Himself on his burial cloth or on the so called Shroud of Turin! Plus, if He had left behind his image on his burial cloth, the bible would say so, because that would have been a HUGE fact that would not be ignored by the apostles!
The bible warns us of great deception and false miracles and also real miracles worked by demons! The Catholic church has statues that cry and bleed! That's demonic. It's the Catholic church that promotes idolatry of images! We are NOT allowed ANY image of GOD! Throw away those fake images! We don't have ANY true images of GOD! Stop worshipping the Catholic fake Jesus!

Power Given To Us

8/18/2019

 
Acts 1:1-11 We receive Power/Authority from The Holy Ghost, through baptism of The Holy Ghost.
"Baptism of Holy Ghost" means that Jesus engulfs/envelopes/surrounds us. We are immersed with His Soul. Speaking in tongues is not required for this.

Mark 16:14-20 Signs to follow us — by power and authority.
(Mark 16:16 is an excellent verse to prove the necessity of baptism. Remember it when people quote John 3:16.)

1 Cor. 12:1-14 We are each different members and, as such, each of us has different, individual gifts.
1 Cor. 12:27-31 Paul says that not all speak in tongues. If all signs were mandatory, then we would all have to pick up serpents and drink poison.
Use your authority & calling or it will be removed from you!

1 Cor 13:1-5 But all in common: we all have, not just administrators.

2 Tim. 1:7 Not spirit of fear, but of power God has given us.
Eph 6:10-19 Armour of God is for fighting & defeating the enemy. Use it!
Eph. 2:1-7 Symbolically, we are already seated on thrones in Heaven, with authority over Earth and over enemies. We are called to rule with power.
1 John 4:4-6 We have overcome antichrist spirits. Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world.
James 4:7 Submit/surrender to God and resist/fight back against the devil, and the devil will flee!
Luke 10:19 We have power and authority over all power of the enemy! Serpents & scorpions are dangerous, and most people fear them. But Jesus gives us power over these! lnstead of fearing them, we should take authority over them!
John 14:12 Greater works shall we do!
Rms 16:20 The Theos of Peace will crush Satan under OUR feet! Just as He commanded Moses & Aaron to raise the staff and to scatter ashes to begin the plagues, He will use us to defeat the enemy.  We are expected up pick up our feet and hands and work through the power that He gives us! The devil can not be crushed without us picking up our feet and stomping him with force, to crush him! GOD does it, but through us. Notice that it is not on our knees just talking in prayer, but us actually doing something!

PUSH PASS NEGATIVE

8/11/2019

 
Sermon Notes:
Isa. 53:1-6 Jesus was well acquainted with sorrows. But He was not a negative-focused person. He focused on the tasks at hand & The future Kingdom. His step-dad Joseph probably died when He was a child.

My Negative Experiences in Life:
-Don't remember my real dad before age 11+
-1st step-dad killed self (my age: 6?) because mom drove him insane.
-Papa (Grandfather, pronounced "Paw-paw") was buried on my 10th birthday. But I'm not depressed on every annual date of his death!
-Mama (Grandmother, pronounced "Maw-maw") - won custody of my brother when I was 10-11. Me & my brother were separated. VERY dramatic!
-Because 2nd step-dad was abusive + hated kids.
-I really didn't have much of a childhood. More of a living ell.
-My favorite & closest uncle died suddenly and unexpectedly.
-Maw-maw died.
-Mr. Cox, great supporter of the church and me, died.
-I had to forsake my own dad, mom, brother, and nephew, and even my favorite and closest uncle before he died.

With all of these bad things that has happened in my life, I don't dwell on these things. I choose to NOT dwell on these things. I press pass the negatives and focus on the important tasks at hand, in the present, and focus also upon the future. I can't let the past distract me from all of the joy, peace, comfort and victory that I have received from Jesus.
We ALL suffer. The bible promises that we will suffer. It's part of life. We can expect it.

Country song - "Sounds Like Life to Me". Man tells about his troubles and worries: a new baby, new expenses... the listener says "Sounds like life to me".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Geg6_-3jPzI

Heb. 4 (Entire chapter) Jesus was tempted in every way as we are. We must enter both the 7th day rest, and His spiritual rest!
John 14:1-28
"Peace I give you". "Fear not. Let not your heart be troubled."
Gal. 5:22 Two often-forgotten fruits of the Spirit: Peace & Joy!
1 Peter 1:8-9 Joy inexpressible!

Romans 8 (Entire chapter) The sufferings of this world are nothing compared to the Glory that will be revealed in us.(Rms 8:18 "to us" change to "in us".)

The Old Testament people have not yet received their rewards, and without us they would not be made perfect!  (Heb.11:39-40) In other words, they will need to learn about us & read about our testimonies and trials & sufferings & victories! O.T. people were never saved by blood of goats or old covenant laws. They must come back in the 2nd Resurrection and learn more about Jesus's death and resurrection and be baptized in Jesus name. Part of that salvation will be learning about us. The scriptures are still be written this day in the writings of apostle Tim and others.

A mind set on the flesh is hostile against God.
Positive thoughts are scientifically proven to heal. The healing pathways created by positive thoughts die off when positive thoughts are replaced by negative thoughts.
:28 ALL things work together for good.

Philippians 4:1-9 How can we win a race looking backwards? Focus on & dwell on the positive, on the Kingdom, and on the tasks at hand. Not on the past.

We should be the happiest people on Earth. We have been give so much truth! And given MUCH responsibility. HE entrusted us with such extremely important words/messages/revelations!!! That is a VERY high calling! He could have put us into ANY generation, but HE thought us worthy for the most important generation!

FORSAKE NOT GATHERING

8/4/2019

 
Psalm 122 song: Glad when said Let us go to the house of the Lord

Heb. 10 Drawing near to God and staying with Him is connected with not forsaking assembly/gathering, and not forsaking the Body of Christ.
Heb. 10:24-26 It is a sin to forsake the assembly.


Consider one another. We need one another. We are not computer chips, not internet profiles. We need human interaction, in person.
Until the modern generation, dysfunctional families and dysfunctional people were primarily because of dominant women and weak men. That's still true, but now dysfunctional people are also a result of how computers have replaced human companionship. Video games, movies, internet have made men not care whether they have sex. This is the largest population of virgins ever recorded in all of human history. Not because of holiness and good standards, but rather because of lack of interest in the opposite sex because computers prevented interaction with real humans.

James 5:14 How can we get anointed by elders if there is no local congregation? Start one! Repent. Commit to Jesus. Be baptized and open your door to an assembly with others connected to this ministry.

Passover communion. Best to be done with brothers and sisters.
At least only online.

Joel 2:15-17 In the end times, there should be more assembly, not less. The new moon services, Purim, and Fiesta of Dedication are examples of increase in worship.

Lev. 23:1-3 The assemblies are commanded. Therefore, meet with the congregation to the highest degree you are able to, even if you can only meet online.

BE SATISFIED

8/4/2019

 
1 Tim 6:3-10 We brought nothing in when we were born, and will bring nothing out when we die. Therefore, be content with what you have. Content = satisfied. Not needing more. Filled with what you have, even if very little. The key to being satisfied is thanksgiving.
Spiritual gain that comes with contentment, versus evil monetary, physical gain that comes with greed.

Phil. 4:1-14 Be content in all circumstances.
If you already have everything you need, then why would you ask Christ for anything?

Heb. 13:5 Love of money competes with love of Jesus, Shepherd of all you need. (Psalm 23)

Luke 3:14 Be content with wages. Not always seeking promotion. But if a promotion comes as a result of dependable work, it's well.

Luke 12:13-34 Don't be overly concerned about attaining physical things. Put God first. Put Spiritual things first. Your God is what you think of the most. Let your treasure be in Heaven.
For many people, their number 1 concern for the future is economic collapse!

Eccles. 5:10 The rich are never satisfied. Like owners of big corporations that keep on building more and more stores, never satisfied with what they already have.
You aren't what you have outside the body, but what's in your heart. The rich have everything in excess and perfection. An easy life but an uncontent heart. More poor people are satisfied with small things, and happier in heart and mind. Cherish the small things.
This modern microwave society wants everything better & faster. Not satisfied with good enough. Everything needs to be better. If they can type at 70 words per minute, they'll want 100, 80, even 71. A shortcut for everything. 1 click less that saves 3 seconds. It's like they're going for a world record in everything.
Instead of always wanting something bigger & better later, enjoy what you have and seize life now. Don't decline to swim in a small pool just because there might be a bigger one later. Don't turn down a 4-inch corn dog because there might be a 12-inch dog later. That's stupid. Enjoy life now.
Every day more people are being diagnosed with cancer. There's a song, "Live like you were dying". That's how we should be living. Do things. Be active. Enjoy life.
The first Thanksgiving wasn't a big feast, but just 5 kernels of corn. Even with that little, the pilgrims were still giving thanks to God.
