Go to link above for today's message!
Greetings Truth Seekers! I love you! But, Jesus, our Savior a.k.a. LORD a.k.a. Psalm 23 Shepherd and 1 Peter 2:5 Bishop over our souls loves you more! This is the day that The LORD has made and despite all that is going on that is contrary to the way of The Truth, we will still honor LORD Jesus in our thoughts, with the fruit of our lips, and our actions, in accordance with His word, will, and way for our lives! Our key foundational passages of Scripture are Isaiah 55:6-7(NLT), “...Seek The LORD while you can find Him. Call on Him now while He is near. Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to The LORD that He may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our GOD, for He will forgive generously.”
Once again it is a privilege and an honor of The LORD to share with you the word of Truth that will fulfill what He has charged, ordained, anointed, and sent me to do, and minister. According to Acts 26:18, LORD Jesus said, “...open their eyes, in order to turn them from Darkness to Light, and from the power of Satan to GOD, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”
At our last gathering, 3.20.2022, we covered the message entitled “JESUS IS LORD” (Part 1) with the Subtopic: ‘Savior, Messiah, I AM THAT I AM’. If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/jesus-is-lord-part-1/
Dear truth seeker, today, March 27, 2022, people are being bombarded with a plethora of professional and nonprofessional opinions of the state of the World’s conditions. However, truth be told, the most believable perspective of insight pertaining to the present and future realities that are currently in the process of coming to pass is based on Matthew 24:4-14. The Matthew 24 passages of Scripture can be received as a basic foundational summation of what’s really going on amid all the Nations of the World. And as you read it, you will be able to see that the prophetic timeclock of ancient prophesies cannot be altered, hindered or halted, regardless of what our lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eye, and the pride of life goals are.
LORD Jesus declared, according to Matthew 24:4-14(Message Bible), “…Watch out for doomsday deceivers. Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities, claiming, ‘I am Christ, the Messiah.’ They will deceive a lot of people. When reports come in of wars and rumored wars, keep your head and don’t panic. This is routine history; this is no sign of the end. Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over. Famines and earthquakes will occur in various places. This is nothing compared to what is coming. They are going to throw you to the wolves and kill you, everyone hating you because you carry My name. And then, going from bad to worse, it will be dog-eat-dog, everyone at each other’s throat, everyone hating each other. In the confusion, lying preachers will come forward and deceive a lot of people. For many others, the overwhelming spread of evil will do them in—nothing left of their love but a mound of ashes. Staying with it—that’s what GOD requires. Stay with it to the end. You won’t be sorry, and you’ll be saved. All during this time, the Good News—the Message of The Kingdom—will be preached all over the World, a witness staked out in every country. And then the end will come.”
Dear truth seeker, not too far in the distance, and no, no one knows the day or hour, but Jesus is coming for His bride. If the set timing of GOD could be changed, then the timing of Daniel 9:24-27 would have to be stricken from The Holy Book. Yes, we all have or should have visions for the future of our lives, but GOD also has a written, time ensured vision for His Son, Christ Jesus, Christ's bride, and for the future of His beloved land, Israel. It is written that Isaiah 46:9-10 records GOD declaring, “…Remember the former things of old: for I am GOD, and there is none else; I am GOD, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” In addition, Apostle Peter declared it this way, according to Acts 3:19-21(NKJV), “…Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of The LORD, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which GOD has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the World began.”
In other words, the proverbial playtime of time altering prophesies ended in 1948 at the fulfillment of Israel being born in one day, May 14, 1948, which was prophetically based upon Isaiah 66:7-9(Tree of Life Version), “…Before she was in labor, she gave birth. Before her pain came, she delivered a male Child. Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Can a Nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children. Will I bring the moment of birth, and not give delivery?” says Adonai. “Will I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your GOD.”
According to Matthew 24:37-39 and Proverbs 16:1-9, this is what the Holy GOD says about our futile lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eye, and pride of life plans and visions:
Matthew 24:37-39(KJV), “…But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.”
Proverbs 16:1-9(Message Bible), “Mortals make elaborate plans, but GOD has the last word. Humans are satisfied with whatever looks good; GOD probes for what is good. Put GOD in charge of your work, then what you’ve planned will take place. GOD made everything with a place and purpose; even the wicked are included—but for judgment. GOD can’t stomach arrogance or pretense; believe me, He’ll put those braggarts in their place. Guilt is banished through love and truth; Fear-of-GOD deflects evil. When GOD approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand. Far better to be right and poor than to be wrong and rich. We plan the way we want to live, but only GOD makes us able to live it.”
The temporary global shut down should have been a wakeup call for the Matthew 25 foolish virgins to begin filling their lamps with oil. But they, like many of us today, rather choose to submit to the lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eye and the pride of life. Again, as it was stated in lasts weeks message, GOD’S predetermined counsel shall stand and His plan that has been set into motion from Eternity’s past will fully come to pass, as prophesied by the ancient prophets, according to Bible based Scripture. And as the process of GOD’S Bible based, predetermined counsel for His Universe and all its inhabitants unfolds before our very eyes, around the globe, wisdom is to seek the will of GOD and not our own.
Now that we have concluded our introduction and have been enlightened, based on Scripture, GOD has a vision that is in the process of coming to pass, let’s get into the gist of todays message titled “JESUS IS LORD (Part 2)” with the subtitle ‘Savior, Messiah, I AM THAT I AM’.
As we go forward into the word of The LORD, for the sake of providing an overall understanding of what is being presented, I realize that wisdom is to first define the key words, phrases, and referenced names that are stated in the title and subtopic’s title. The purpose for doing so is because defining the “key” words, phrases, and referenced names that are stated in the title and subtopic’s title, assists in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its initial meaning. Also, in doing so, it will inspire one, as the Holy Spirit guides, with the ability to interpret, translate and cognizantly determine how to make application of its wisdom, which in turn inspires one’s desire to become more and more reflective of becoming and being likened to a Philippians 3:20 Kingdom citizen in mindset, attitude, and lifestyle.
Last week, 3.20.2022, we covered the name of JESUS, which was the first “key” name referenced in the message’s title. Today we will expound upon Jesus’ title “LORD”. In doing so, we will have a clearer understanding of how we can honor Him as LORD over our lives. Get your Bible and/or your Bible app and let’s be like the Acts 17:11 Bereans, and with the help of enlightenment from the Holy Ghost, search Scripture for ourselves to read, study and consume these truths pertaining to who The LORD is and even go a step further, based on the word of Truth, find if we are governed by His LORDSHIP:
Key title termed LORD:
Key title termed definition of LORD, according to Wikipedia @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord, “…Lord is an appellation for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others, acting as a master, a chief, or a ruler…”
According to Mark 12:28-30(NLT) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2012%3A28-30&version=NLT,KJV, “…One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the debate. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The LORD our GOD is the one and only LORD. And you must love The LORD your GOD with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength…’”
According to Philippians 2:9-7(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2&version=KJV;NKJV, “…Therefore GOD also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on Earth, and of those under the Earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of GOD The FATHER.”
Key description termed LORDSHIP:
Key description definition of LORDSHIP, according to collinsdictionary.com @ https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/lordship, “…You use the expressions Your Lordship, His Lordship, or Their Lordships when you are addressing or referring to a judge, a bishop, or a male member of the British nobility. British. (often initial capital letter) a term of respect used when speaking of or to judges (usually preceded by his or your).”
Now that we have a basic understanding and Scripture based wisdom about the descriptive definitions of the “key” termed titles of LORD and LORDSHIP of this message’s topic and subtopic titles, within their relevance of today’s message, let’s now consume the Word of GOD that has been presented for the equipping and edification of Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and those who are being drawn into The Kingdom of GOD through His Holy Spirit. We will begin by revealing, based on the truth of the word of GOD, the keys of Scripture that reveals the level of standard that has been set as a gauge, by the written word of The LORD that He has ruling LORDSHIP over our lives and what will eventually happen if He does not have LORDSHIP over our lives. Period. The word of GOD declares that we can be unmistakably known by the fruit we bear daily. It is written according to Matthew 7:16-20, Matthew 7:21-23, and Galatians 5:16-26:
Matthew 7:16-20(NLT) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A16-20&version=KJV;NLT, “…You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.”
Galatians 5:16-26(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+5&version=KJV,NLT, “…So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit The Kingdom of GOD. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.”
Amen.
I hope today’s message will bless, edify, build, strengthen, and equip you to have a deeper well of greater understanding to draw from, pertaining to who Jesus is as LORD and whether, based on today’s referenced Scriptures, Matthew 7:16-20, Matthew 7:21-23, and Galatians 5:16-26, we are governing our personal lives according to Jesus’ standard, by the power of the Spirit of the Holy Ghost.
Now, let us close according to the wisdom and revelation knowledge of LORD Jesus and His LORDSHIP as governing ruler over our standard of lifestyle. We will do so by getting His take on what He will say in that day to those who disregard adhering their ways in obedience to His standard of LORDSHIP as LORD over their lives. It is written according to Matthew 7:21-23:
Matthew 7:21-23(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A21-23&version=KJV;NLT, LORD Jesus forewarned, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘LORD, LORD,’ shall enter The Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My FATHER in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Amen to ABBA FATHER’S Holy Word, in Jesus’ name! Matthew 11:27
It has been an honorable privilege to, by the Power and Authority of The Holy Spirit of The LORD of Hosts, to cover today’s Living Word of Truth message titled “JESUS IS LORD” (Part 2) with the Subtopic: ‘Savior, Messiah, I AM THAT I AM’ with you! Let us go forth, filled with the knowledge of GOD’S will, in all wisdom and Spiritual/spiritual understanding; that we may walk worthily of the call of The LORD on our lives, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of GOD; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious Power, enduring long sufferings with patience, and joy. Let us also continually give thanks to our Heavenly FATHER who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of all His Saints who are of The Light. And most of all, we thank Him for the will, mindset, skill, and wherewithal abilities, to wholeheartedly believe Him at His word and obey it!
To all "Living Word of Truth" Truth Seekers, if The LORD says the same, we will resume next Sunday, 4.3.2022, from Heaven’s Throne of GOD The FATHER, GOD The Word, and GOD The Holy Ghost!
Let us pray. “Heavenly FATHER let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on Earth as You have predetermined it to be so in Heaven. Be glorified like never before. Thank You for endowing us with Your love, joy, peace, favor, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, wise counsel, might, reverential fear of You, health, wealth, true riches, Spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear, and heart to obey You. Thank You for Your Psalm 91:11/2 Kings 6:17 angel armies standing guard night and day in our midst. Thank You for empowering us to speak Your word as You inspire us to do so, and it manifests accordingly. Thank You for covering us with Your sinless Blood, and continually delivering us, and keeping us safe from the wiles and plans of the Evil One, and all who work on his behalf. For Thine is The Kingdom, All Power, and All Glory. Amen”
