Good day. Today's video Just a Little is on the topic of: Just a little leaven will leaven the whole lump. There is only one doctrine of Christ (2John 7-11); anything else is a little leaven that many have allowed in which has corrupted the simplicity of the gospel of Christ; and as you see in the world today there are many denominations or faiths, doctrines, religions, false gods which all began with a little leaven of the enemy (devil, satan) sewn in one or many hearts and minds that was allowed and continues to be allowed to spread like a wildfire corrupting the one true doctrine given by God our Father in heaven through his Son Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (KJV) Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (KJV) 1 John 4:1-6 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. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (KJV) Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good morals. It takes only a little spark to start a fire, it only takes a little false doctrine spoken to start a wildfire of iniquity (James 3:1-6). Where there is no fuel the fire stops; so don't add fuel by repeating something you heard if you have not taken the time to know for yourself what the word of God says and means by studying to show yourself approved unto God a workman that needs not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15) by the leading of the Holy Spirit, and not by men. 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (KJV) Again, evil communications corrupt good morals. And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches (for the love of money is the root of all evil (1Timothy 6:9-10)), and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful (Mark 4:19). These begin with a little leaven allowed into the heart and mind, and if not caught and purged out will increase to more ungodliness, and take you further away from the truth, the simplicity of the gospel of Christ which was delivered unto you when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The tongue is a little member which boasts great things. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. It will reveal the true intents of the heart, whether they be good or whether they be evil. Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (KJV) Brethren, watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Don't be lulled to sleep with a little leaven of false doctrine sewn by the enemy of God, but be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (KJV) Remember, we are not to be as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Take Comfort is on the topic of: Take comfort in knowing that God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, the God of all comfort made a plan for your life before the foundation of the world. Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (KJV) 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. (KJV) Our heavenly Father's will is that you might be delivered from this present evil world; he has made the way of escape through his Son; he has given you the truth that will make you free and keep you free indeed through his Son; and he has given you the record of the life, eternal life that is in his Son Jesus Christ, whom he sent. Jesus Christ came that you might have life and have it more abundantly; so take comfort in the fact that God before the foundation of the world made a very good plan of salvation for you personally as well as for the whosoever’s that accept salvation through his Son Jesus Christ and come into agreement with the way, the truth, and the life that he promised. Galatians 1:3-4 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: (KJV) 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (KJV) John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (KJV) Having this comfort, trust in his plan of salvation for you and come into agreement with it so that when you are faced with troubles or afflictions for Christ’s sake you will be able to overcome all things through Christ who strengthens you, and comfort others as you have been comforted. And take comfort that our heavenly Father knows what you have need of before you ask. Our life should not consist in the abundance of things which we possess, it should consist in the abundance of all that our Father has given unto us in his Son; so seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness where your life in the Spirit consists, and all that you have need of in this life will be added unto you. Brethren where are you finding comfort? It is our heavenly Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom; and the kingdom of God is within you; so, ask, seek, and find your peace and comfort given unto you in Christ Jesus our Lord. God bless and keep the faith.

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's video Facts of Life is on the topic of: Two immutable (fixed, unchangeable, unalterable) facts of eternal life; you need to know the Father and the Son whom he sent. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life; and no man comes unto the Father but by him; and there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Do you know the Son, and the Father? It is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; behold the kingdom of God is within you; Christ in you the hope of glory. It is your Father in heaven that is leading and guiding you and working in you. The importance of understanding these two unchangeable, unalterable, fixed facts that you cannot know the Father unless you know the Son, and once you know the Son, the Son can reveal the Father unto you is vital to eternal life. The revelation of Christ, knowing who the Son of the living God is, allows you to come unto the Father and come to know the Father. Without these two immutable things working in you and on your behalf, there is no life. John 8:15-19 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. (KJV) Matthew 11:25-27 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 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) John 17:1-3 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (KJV) 1 John 5:9-13 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Today's video Double Cross is on the topic of: Are you taking up your own cross, dying to self, and following the Lord, or are you double crossing the Lord and crucifying the Son of God afresh? Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory was crucified once on the cross for us. Many are crucifying the Son of God afresh, and putting him to an open shame, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men and in vain do worship him. Hebrews 6:1-6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. (KJV) There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all; and unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. It is Christ in you the hope of glory. And there is one doctrine, the doctrine of Christ, that God our Father approves of. The doctrine of Christ includes one taking up their own cross daily, dying to self wants and desires, self-will, and following the Lord in His doctrine according to the will of God. There are many antichrists, seducing spirits, doctrines of devils who are crucifying the Son of God afresh and putting him to an open shame which would have you partake of the same with them. And the only way you will be able to discern between their doctrines and the Lord's doctrine, is by allowing the Holy Spirit to teach you the doctrine of Christ and lead you into all truth. By knowing the doctrine of Christ, the truth given by Jesus Christ, you will be able to spot the deceivers and their doctrines and will not follow them or give heed to the strangers (satan) voice through them; instead you will follow and live by the faith of the Son of God who loved you and gave himself for you, and give heed to His voice who will lead you into all truth and in the path of eternal life. Choose you this day which cross you will take up.

Today's video The Answer is on the topic of: Follow-up of the last study "You Should 2024-12-21". Now that you should know the name above every name given among men by whom you must be saved, Jesus Christ, and this being the name that you should be confessing before God and men, have you asked God our Father in heaven to reveal his Son unto you that you know who his Son is, so that you are ready to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you (1Peter 3:15)? Do you know the reason of the hope that is within you? What answer will you give? Who is your hope? Your answer should include Christ, the Son of the living God. For it is Christ in you the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). 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) 1 Corinthians 1:24 ...Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (KJV) The revelation of Christ will take you beyond the veil of the flesh (Jesus), enlightening the eyes of your understanding too see Christ the Son of God and who you are in him. It is the Father who reveals the Son, and the Son who reveals the Father, that you may know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. If you don't have a working knowledge of who Christ is (the Son of God) and who you are in Christ, you won't know the Father. With the revelation of the mystery of the gospel, Christ in you the hope of glory, you will be able to given an answer by the leading of the Holy Spirit; not a fleshly answer of the son born, Jesus of Nazareth the man, but a spiritual answer to a spiritual question of the son given, Christ the Son of the living God (Isaiah 9:6 unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given). Are you ready to give the answer? If not, get ready and stay ready.

Today's video Clean Escape is on the topic of: Clean escape from the corruption that is in this world through lust and from them who live in error. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire. We are now the temple of the living God, and we are clean and swept, purged from our sins and transgressions, and the worldly residue is burned up with unquenchable fire; for our God is a consuming fire. Old things are passed away, behold all things are become new. God delivered us from this present evil world and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, Christ Jesus our Lord. God sent his word (Christ) into our hearts and healed us and delivered us from our destructions. We have been given a new heart and a new mind to operate in the realm of the Spirit. And if we continue in his word, the word of God, we shall know the truth and the truth shall make us free. John 17:17 Sanctify (purify) them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (KJV) 1 Peter 1:17-23 (KJV) And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Galatians 3:16 ...And to thy seed, which is Christ. (KJV) There are many false prophets in the world, antichrists (those who deny Christ), wolves in sheep's clothing, professing to know God but in works deny him; and they are the many who corrupt the word of God for money (the love of money is the root of all evil) or advantage. They are more focused on tithes and offerings that will sustain them, than they are for the upkeep of your spiritual temple, the temple of the living God, whom you are. And sad to say, but many are following their corrupt ways because their heart has become blinded by the god of this world, and they are no longer able to discern between good and evil because they have not taken the time to know the truth that set them free, and have become dependent on someone else to teach them instead of allowing the Holy Spirit of God to lead and guide them into all truth. And when you, yourself, become more focused on the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, and lusts of other things you rob God in tithes and offerings, not the physical matters, but the spiritual upkeep of his temple which is his residence within you. You rob God the opportunity to help you and give you the strength to overcome whatever it may be that is hindering you, or harassing you, and distracting you from continuing in the faith and enduring unto the end and receive eternal life. Yes, we are in this world, and have to deal with everyday life, but we have the grace of God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ to help in time of need. He doesn't desire your money, he desires your whole heart, soul, and mind, and your time; so, take no thought for your life, and cast all of your care unto God and let him do the caring for you, and seek to please and serve him and worship him in spirit and in truth. You are clean escaped from this world through Jesus Christ, so brethren, stay clean, stay free, and don't omit spirit and truth. God bless and keep the faith.

Today's video Astonishing Doctrine is on the topic of: The Lord 's doctrine (the doctrine of Christ which he spoke and demonstrated was confirmed with signs following) caused astonishment (amazement) among the people and it is still doing the same thing within those who believe. Jesus Christ spoke the words that he heard the Father speak and did those things he had seen the Father do. The word of God is living and powerful, it is spirit, and it is truth, and it changes not; and the Spirit of truth that was in Jesus is in you as well. Colossians 1:27 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: (KJV). The doctrine of Christ not only includes operating in all the spiritual blessings that we have been blessed with in the heavenlies in Christ, but it also involves dying to self (the cross of Christ), to your will, to your wants and desires, and submitting to the will of God walking in a newness of life. Remember, you are crucified with Christ: nevertheless you live, yet not you, but Christ lives in you; and the life which you now live in the flesh, you live by the faith of the Son of God who loved you and gave himself for you. The words that He speaks unto us they are spirit, and they are life! This is an astonishing doctrine and an astonishing life we have been given by Jesus Christ and there is no other way to give thanks unto God our Father, and unto our Lord Jesus Christ for what he did on our behalf but to serve him in sincerity and in truth; as well as speak the truth in love and in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that another's faith would not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God (1Corinthians 1:24, 1Corinthians 2:4-5). A man's life does not consist in the abundance of things which he possesses in this earthly realm, but it does consist in the doctrine of Christ, and the power of it, where all things are possible to those who believe; it is the grace of God. Many say the miracles, signs, and wonders ceased with the apostles, which is contrary to the word of God. In 1Corinthians 12:7 it says, "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.", and you can read the rest of the chapter as well. The Lord also said in Mark 16:17-20 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.(KJV)" It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh profits nothing. Brethren, let no man deceive you; let God be true and man the liar, including our own carnal thinking. 2 John 7-11 (KJV) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son (Luke 10:22). If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Today's video My Redeemer is on the topic of: The Lord Jesus Christ my redeemer, your redeemer, our redeemer. Jesus Christ paid the price with his life for our sins, (for we were carnal, sold under sin), not only ours but the sins of the whole world. God is no respecter of persons; John 3:16-17 God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that "whosoever" believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (KJV). So you see that by grace (grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, the Son), we are saved through faith; God gave his Son, his grace and truth, Jesus Christ, who died for all, and those who have accepted him as their Lord and Savior, he has redeemed from a life of sin and bondage to the god of this world, satan. We are bought (redeemed = a ransom, a price paid for slaves, to purchase) with a price, and we are not our own, we are the Lord's purchased possession, and what a price he paid for each and every one of us, so let us not be the servants of men. For the riches of this world cannot redeem men and neither can men redeem men. Jesus Christ said I am the resurrection and the life, and I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man can come to the Father but by me; so, whether we live therefore or we die, we are the Lord's, he redeemed us, not men. 1 Peter 1:18-21 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. (KJV) This is how we were purchased, not with tithing 10 percent of our money, for we cannot buy our way into heaven. Our salvation by, through, and in Jesus Christ is a free gift and we freely have access to the riches of His grace, the true riches of wisdom and knowledge. I am dead, purchased by the precious blood of Christ, and my life is hid with Christ in God; my redeemer is Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. We pray that you also know Him as your Redeemer, and you are His purchased possession unto eternal life. Remember, we must die to live. God bless and keep the faith.
