Good day. Today's video Who Knows? is on the topic of: Who knows? In the previous study (They Knew) we saw who opposed the Lord Jesus Christ when he walked this earth, the chief priests, scribes, the religious leaders, they denied that Jesus was the Christ and delivered him to be crucified because of envy; and as we also saw the devils knew he was the Christ, so why didn’t they? Today, we see the same thing spiritually, those who oppose the Lord, those who deny Christ the Son of the living God; they know Jesus, but they don’t know the truth that is in him; they have a form of godliness but deny the power (1 Corinthians 1:24) thereof: from such turn away (2 Timothy 3:5). Jesus asked the disciples in Matthew 16:13-20 "Who do men say that I the Son of man am?" and they gave several answers; then he asked them "But who say you that I am?" and Peter answered "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God"; and Jesus responded "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven and upon this rock (Christ; 1Corinthians 10:4) I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." Without the revelation of the Son, you will not know the Father. Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV) It is the truth that will make you free and keep you free indeed (reality). Many know Jesus the man after the flesh, few know Jesus the Christ after the Spirit of Christ within them; those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God. Who knows Christ and who they are in him? It is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. It is given, a free gift wrapped up in grace and in truth and revealed to those who seek to know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. Paul wrote, in Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (KJV) There are many false prophets, workers of iniquity, antichrists, who deny Christ, the Son of the living God, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God; and with damnable heresies and doctrines they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame and teach others likewise; they are blind leaders, blindly leading the blind (those who have NOT sought to know Christ and who they are in Him), down the same path of destruction by denying the Son whom God sent. 1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (KJV) 1 John 2:18-23 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (KJV) This does not have to be so for you. When you were born again you were baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Just as Jesus of Nazareth, you were given the measure (fullness) of faith; you were given the Spirit without measure; your cup runs over with the fullness of the gift of Christ in you the hope of glory; you have the mind of Christ; so now this is the time to seek to know the Son and the Father allowing the Spirit to lead and guide you into all truth so that you can stand before the judgement seat of Christ knowing them, and as well they knowing you. And who does the spirit of antichrist come against? Those who know Christ (the Son of the living God) and who they are in him. Who knows? Hopefully you will be able to answer this question for yourself and be able to say, "I do". For it is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, as the truth is in Jesus. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video They Knew is on the topic of: They knew who Jesus of Nazareth was, the Christ, the Son of God; that is the devils knew, and they trembled (Luke 4:40-41, Mark 1:21-25, Mark 3:11-12, Matthew 8:28-29). Yet the religious leaders of that time (the chief priest, scribes, and pharisees) denied that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the Son of God and they crucified the Lord of glory for envy. They were more concerned about the day of the week on which the Lord healed the people (the blind, the sick, the lame, those bound up by unclean spirit(s)) being the sabbath, the outward circumstances, that they could not see who was right in front of them. They were more concerned about keeping their place of power or prominence with the people and with the Romans (John 11:48), that they feared, and then they instilled fear into the people that if they confessed that Jesus was the Christ that they would put them out of the synagogue (John 9:22). They even asked him directly if he was the Christ, and he answered "I am", but they closed their ears to the truth that was in Jesus, and said the he was a blasphemer of God, because he did not fit into their idea or thoughts of who the Messiah should be, or where he came from, or what his birth circumstances were in their carnal judgement. These were the spiritual leaders of that time, and they did not know, their heart was hardened, and they chose not to see, because they were blinded by envy (Matthew 27:18, Mark 15:10). Today the same thing is happening in the Church; many are crucifying the Son of God afresh, denying Christ, with the traditions and doctrines of men, and many for filthy lucre (money) sake, for the accolades of men, or for being ignorant of the truth that is in Jesus. Many are taught and know Jesus the man; many are taught and say that Jesus was God which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit because of unbelief that God sent his Son, Christ, in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Many don't know Christ the Son of God who was in Jesus, and who is also in you (Colossians 1:27). The Lord said, "whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:33). You can't blame men for your ignorance of the Son of God when you stand before the Lord, because you are to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, not relying on someone else to do the work for you and you just show up once, maybe twice a week to hear their version of what the scriptures say; it is given unto you, personally, to know they mystery of the kingdom of God. Many should know but don't know Christ, because they are letting these someone else’s (men through books, TV, CD's, etc.) teach them, when they should be allowing the Holy Spirit to lead them into all truth as they study the scriptures (the Bible). 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (KJV) Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God; all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him; and the mystery of the gospel is Christ in you the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. They knew, we know having been taught by the Holy Spirit and led into all truth, do you know? We pray that you too will rightly divide the word of truth, rightly divide what you hear from others by going to our Father (God) seeking his wisdom and understanding by the Holy Spirit and come to the knowledge of the truth that is in Jesus. God bless and keep the faith.

Today we are posting Looking Within day three of five, written October 27, 2010. Our prayer is that you will be blessed and encouraged by this five day series of our writings. ***You can download a copy of the writings for personal use only by clicking on the Doctrine of Christ Ministry Archive page link above and scroll down to the year 2010.
Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Looking Within Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: (21) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (KJV) You ever see these so called men of God, who when they come to town advertise their ministries as one based on miracles, you know signs and wonders? Yet the reality is that our Lord said that we should be looking in the opposite direction if we are going to find Him. Is it any wonder that these people were described by our Lord as being the blind leading the blind into a ditch? Ephesians 3:16-19 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; (17) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, (18) May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; (19) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. (KJV) Did you come to the Lord seeking part of His kingdom? When in prayer are you seeking the total answer, or just bits and pieces, you know like a puzzle? I don’t know about many, but for me I would definitely like to be a partaker of the fullness of Christ, especially when the Word says that it is there for the taking. While the world and its worldly preachers are pointing the people to the riches of this fallen realm, our Lord died to get us access to the riches of His glory, riches that will never fail or have an end. Haven’t you had enough of a bunch of false promises of peace by a bunch of false prophets who in reality are only looking out for who they consider number one, themselves? There is so much more strength and power available to us once we truly get to know the love of Christ, which is based on His works and not on ours any longer. The truth is Church that our strength comes by weakness; the more we are willing to let go, the more it allows the Lord to take over and get the results that He intended for His people. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (KJV) You know, if you unplug the power cord to your lamp, well then its lights out and you are in darkness again. When the line of communication gets cut off between you and the Lord then you are no longer able to please Him, because you are now walking back into darkness, and no longer following that straight and narrow path that He would have you on. That simple Church, and yet that complicated or confusing to those that are blinded by their limited carnal vision. You know once you have received the Lord’s reward, you know like power, love, and a sound mind, you realize that this is a free gift that can’t be bought or found anywhere else but within. Colossians 1:26-28 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (27) To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (28) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: (KJV) The kingdom of God is described as a mystery, something hidden in the past but now revealed. However, this mystery is only revealed to God’s people through the Spirit, which is why it is still a mystery to many because they are still looking outwardly instead of inwardly to find the answer. It was Christ in Jesus of Nazareth that was his only hope of glory, and look where He ended up. It is Christ in you that is your only hope of glory as well. Did you look within today and make hearing His word your top priority? Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord. Good day. Today's video Heaven Sent is on the topic of: What or who was sent from heaven? God sent his word and healed us and delivered us from our destructions. God sent his Son, Jesus Christ into the world, that we through him might have eternal life. And this is eternal life, that you might know our Father, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom he sent.

Today's video Up and Adam is on parallels drawn between the first Adam (made a living soul), and the last Adam, Jesus Christ (made a life-giving spirit). Being that the fall of man began in a garden would it not be an interesting parallel that the restoration of man would take place in a garden also.

Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord. Good morning. Today's video Should Receive is on the topic of what we should be receiving, doing, and confessing; the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (KJV) John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. (KJV) John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. (KJV) Do you truly know who and what you received when you were born again? You should know, for it is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God (Mark 4:11). Read Luke 24:13-53. Have you asked? We should be going unto God our Father through His Son Jesus Christ and asking Him to guide us by His Holy Spirit into all truth; and then be open to receive what He enlightens the eyes of our understanding unto. Coming to Him as a child with our hearts open, ready to receive what He has prepared for us to know. 1 John 3:22-23 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. (23) And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. (KJV) John 1:11-14 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. (12) 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: (13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (14) And 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. (15) John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. (16) And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. (17) For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (KJV) Read Acts 1:8, Romans 1:16, 1Corinthians 1:24 & 30. Do you truly know what name you should be professing? You should know, for there is no other name given under heaven whereby we must be saved, and that name is Jesus Christ (Acts 4:10-12). This is the name that will make you whole spirit, soul, and body. It is the name that gets you access to the throne of God to receive mercy and grace in time of need; and to receive the mystery of His kingdom. No other name will get you access to the kingdom of God that is within you. Why do you receive the witness of men, but not the witness of God which is greater (1 John 5:9-15)? Matthew 11:27 (KJV) All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV) Do you truly know who you should be confessing (acknowledging)? You should know. For He is the power and wisdom of God; and He is the power of God unto salvation to those who believe; and He is the only one who can reveal the Father unto you. You should be open to the revelation of the mystery of the gospel. Are you? Or will you hold more to the traditions and doctrines that men have taught you? Are you willing to let go of what men have taught you concerning God and His Son? You should be receiving the witness of God which is greater! Luke 12:8-12 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: (9) But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. (10) And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. (11) And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. (KJV) 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (KJV) Philippians 2:8-12 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (11) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (KJV) John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (KJV) John 4:22-26 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. (23) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh 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. (KJV) John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: (31) But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (KJV) You should not receive the witness of men, but the witness of God which is greater concerning His Son. And when you receive the revelation concerning His Son, and the name He acknowledges as His, then walk in that truth and liberty; And you will remain free to receive all that God has prepared for those who love Him. God bless and keep that name within you.
