Love Letter
The Bible is a love-letter to His people. God loves YOU. You can know Him ONLY by going through Jesus, the Messiah by the drawing of the Holy Spirit. His Word is Truth. The Bible, the Word, was given first to the children of Israel (Hebrews), known as the Old Testament, and then the disciples of Jesus (all Hebrews) wrote the rest of the Word, known as the New Testament, under the direction of the Holy Spirit. The Church of the Living God with Jewish people and Gentile people are One New Man; and the Gentile people in the New Testament do not replace the Jewish people of the Old Testament. They are two distinct groups.
Salvation is of the Jews. The Jews were chosen to bring forth the Messiah and they did. The promise was made to Abraham, the father of faith that he wil have children as the sands of the sea and the stars of the sky, innumerable (without number). Since everyone else is a gentile, we as gentiles, wait on the Holy Spirit for Him to give us Jesus as our Messiah too. Again as Christ-followers, the Jew and gentile are the Church of the Living God, becoming One in Christ, the Messiah. The Jews were given the oracles of God. The Christians, saved from all nations, with the Jewish people, are also called the Beloved, the Body of Christ.
We pray you will chose this LOVE and FORGIVENESS offered freely to you in Jesus, the Christ, meaning the Messiah, instead of law and retribution others offer. Man has devised many religions but God has His own plan, design, and purpose of salvation and redemption and we prefer to follow His Way.
First, the Bible is the Constitution of the Kingdom of God. The Law which God gave cannot be changed. It is fulfilled in the Messiah as Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul and love your neighbour as yourself for in that GRACE lies the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament which cannot be separated from our walk with Jesus as stated: Salvation is of the Jews. It is possible that 70 bishops will meet and amend their constitution in a denominational church but these bishops are NOT in the Kingdom of God because the Word of God cannot be changed. Sin like adultery, fornication, perversion, etc. cannot be in the Kingdom of God. It is, however, in religion, cults, organizations and these have no part in the King (Jesus) and in His Kingdom. Without repentance, these are doomed for destruction. John the Baptist, a forerunner of Jesus, started his ministry by saying Repent for the Kingdom of God is near. Jesus finished it by saying the same thing, only He said BE BORN-AGAIN and that is your entrance into the Kingdom of God (a country) and the entrance price: the Blood of the Lamb, the Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living Holy One of Israel. He is the Saviour of the World and therefore the Kingdom of God is on this earth, in You, who has accepted this Gift.
This is the foundation of a believer in Jesus, the Messiah: Hebrews 6:1-2.
Salvation is only by the blood of Jesus Chris the Jewish Messiah. There is no other way that man can be saved (born-again). When man comes to the CROSS, he enters into the Kingdom of God. Repentance is the door to Jesus, where Jesus is King and Lord (owner of everything in Heaven and Earth). Whether Jew or Gentile, Salvation is of the Jews; we as gentiles wait to be chosen by the Holy Spirit from the foundation of the world and given the robe of His righteousness, I have chosen you, you have not chosen me. That realm of the Kingdom is unseen and is IN YOU but it is more real than the real world seen, and the Kingdom of God is eternal.
Faith. You must have faith that there is a God. Faith is God's gift to you at salvation. God does not give faith to the unbeliever. Faith is given only to His children. Yet, faith is operated by love, and God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Baptisms.
a.You must be water baptized to reckon yourself dead to self and alive to Christ Jesus.
b. You must be Holy Spirit-baptized to get power to minister and be a witness in signs and wonders to others. An example is that a Prophet can only be a Prophet if he SEES God do something in the Spirit and then the Prophet does it in the natural otherwise the Prophet is not a prophet of God, but false.The baptisms also mean that you are baptized into Jesus's death and baptized into Jesus's Life.
The Laying on of Hands.
God gives you the authority and the gifts of the Holy Spirit to work the works of His ministry in you. These gifts are given to you when Jesus left to go to Heaven; your faith activates these gifts and when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, then you will use these gifts in His Presence and in His Power. Your hands are your ministry in Jesus.
Resurrection from the dead. Because Jesus, the Messiah, was resurrected from the dead, so are you going to be resurrected from the dead when you are born-again! You become a New Creature in Christ Jesus the Messiah and you receive a New Heart and a New Mind to be filled with the Word of God.
Eternal Judgment. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation (Hebrews 9:27). Since God created all humanity, He chooses how to save and it is only by the blood of Jesus paying the atoning price on the CROSS. But YOU choose whether you want to be redeemed or not from Adam's sin (see Gospel).
Are you in the Kingdom of God? Have you gone to the Cross to repent where you were born-again? Do you even believe in God? Do you believe in His son, Jesus Christ? Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? Have you been immersed into God? Have you been baptized in the Holy Spirit? Tongues is a heavenly language to help you pray because we lack words to the Father so we speak in tongues which you can ASK for. Have you been rejecting the governorship of the Holy Spirit? Receiving Jesus as your Saviour and then not being able to have the Power of the Holy Spirit is like being half born- again; there is no such thing. But, when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, you are anointed and sanctified and justified and sealed. Being baptized in the Holy Spirit means you not only have authority and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in Jesus' Name: wisdom; word of knowledge; faith; gift of healing; working of miracles; prophecy; discerning of spirits; different type of tongues (not the initial speaking in tongues); interpretation of tongues (I Corinthians 12:8-11) but the PRESENCE OF GOD with you and the POWER that is needed to minister to others.
Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Again, when we are born-again that is a type of resurrection because you are a New Creature in Christ. Being born-again also means you have been translated from the kingdom of this world, spiritually-speaking, into the Kingdom of God.
As far as Eternal Judgment, Hell was prepared for satan and his angels and is the destination to those that have not accepted the only begotten Son, Jesus, who died on the Cross for the whole world ( John 3:16) and have the New Heaven and New Earth eternally to those that accept His redeeming blood. The blood is the only way to heaven and Jesus paid the price.
There are several keys of the Kingdom of God to guide you in His Kingdom to minister to others. Here are just a few of the Keys: IF you follow these Keys, you will be very successful in ministry; without these Keys, there will be no fruit to present to Him.
Key #1: Compassion: You cannot minister to others if you have not suffered with Jesus and feel the suffering of His people. Compassion is a gift from God, you cannot muster it up.
Key #2: Hearing from Heaven: What's the use of doing things on your own? Lord, Lord, didn't I do this and that for you (I'm paraphrasing) I never knew you. Obedience to hearing from heaven is how we minister to others.
Key #3: Discerning of spirits: Amazing, isn't it, that some think that they are in the Kingdom of God but they cannot discern that their bishops are not in the Kingdom of God? Jesus asks, What spirit are you of? The Holy Spirit is the only one that can tell you about Jesus. If you do not have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you are on your own.
Key #4: Divine Healing: There is no sickness in the Kingdom of God, because it is spiritual. Doubt and fear instead of faith and healing is the usual mentality of church-goers. He was touched with our infirmities...by His stripes we were healed.
Key #5: Holy Spirit praying (in tongues). It is not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of the Lord. He builds our faith when we pray in tongues; we are edified; He changes governments from bad to good when we pray in tongues; we wrestle not with flesh and blood but principalities and powers and rulers of wickedness when we pray in tongues; this is where millions of souls are turned into the Kingdom of God; it is an open channel to the King of Glory; it is where our children and relatives are born-again; it is where we are called intercessors.
Key #6: Praising the Lord: Armies fell; something stronger than unbelief and discouragement, stronger than prison, something stronger than demons, something stronger than disease and it is something that has Power to create.
Key #7: Fasting in the Holy Spirit: Only by fasting and prayer did a deaf/dumb spirit come out (Jesus encountered satan 40 days and 40 nights in the Holy Spirit in the wilderness). Right after that He started His ministry in TOTAL VICTORY. This key was received by the disciples at Pentecost (Acts 2). God said Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke.
Key #8: Binding and Loosing: Whatsoever you shall bind on earth is bound in heaven; whatsoever you shall loose on earth is loosed in heaven. The diseases, wickedness, demonic activity of drugs, alcohol, perversion, etc., can be bound and the prisoners loosed. God will do it; just speak it out.
Key #9: Agreement of two: That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven.
From notes W.V. Grant and revelation of Ele Schultz
Throughout the Bible thee are themes that flow like water, which He made. Just as an aside, have you touched and felt water? Did you ever wonder how He made it from nothing? I know what the scientists say, but who made the oxygen and the hydrogen? Feel the water! Back to the themes: I will mention just four of these:
Blood. The sacrifice of billions and billions of animals throughout the Old Testament did not suffice; the sacrifice was fulfilled in Jesus, the Passover Lamb, in the New Testament.
Resurrection. Enoch, Moses, then Elijah in the Old Testament were resurrected fulfilled in Jesus when He was resurrected from the dead.
Faith.Without Faith you cannot please God because you have to believe that He is. He gives us a measure of faith when we are born-again but that is not enough to be a disciple; to heal the sick, to cast out devils, and to have salvation for those that God sends you to. The Holy Spirit steps in and gives you Faith for this ministry but it is only operated in LOVE.
Tithing. The first thing Abraham did: Abraham paid the tithe of everything he received because he loved God, not because of the law since it was not given yet, but he paid his Kingdom taxes (he went directly to the spiritual man, Melchesidec). Levi, the priesthood, continued the tithe; Malachi prophesied why people are cursed because they do not tithe and the Book of Hebrews discusses it in detail. It reflects like a mirror: For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life! Tithing is an investment in the Kingdom and how it will be run later. The tithe is ALWAYS directed by the Lord. In other words, if I want to give to someone that I like, then who is building the Kingdom? You. But, if you obey the Lord, as to where you are to give your tithe then He builds His Kingdom through us. However, everything is under MERCY and the power of the LOVE of God.
The Bible will also show you an overview of yourself. You are SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY. After the fall when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, we inherited their sinful flesh but when we go to the CROSS, a new thing happens where we are translated as a New Creation from this world into His Kingdom where Jesus is King and we are His citizens.
The works of the body (flesh) are: ( Galatians 5:21) Adultery: Breaking of wedlock; Fornication: Act of an harlot; indulge in lust; Uncleanness: Impurity Lasciviousness: Filthy; Idolatry: Idol worship, silver, gold, wood, stone; Witchcraft: Sorcery, magic, potion of drugs; Hatred: Hostility, enmity, opposition; Strife: Contentious, provoking to anger; Seditions: Divisions, schisms; Heresies: Different beliefs, believing self instead of the Word of God; Envying: Will; jealous, spite Murders: Killing, to be slain, slaughtered; Drunkenness: intoxication; Revelings: Rioting, loose. These shall NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.
The Works of the Soul: Your Soul has a will. It has emotion and is a free-will moral agent. If a person is soulish or controlled by the soul, it will lead to death. The heart is continually evil (Ecclesiates. 9:3). There is no other that can save a soul except the Son of God, Jesus. You will hear people say He/she is my soulmate. This leads to death. From the soul we have soul-love, lust, adultery and perversion which leads to death; Soul-care, worry, fear, nervous breakdown, insanity, which leads to death; temper, anger, murder, which leads to death.
Read it this way: love from the soul leads to lust, leads to adultery, leads to perversion, which leads to death. This death is not just of the body, but also the soul because of sin. Care from the soul leads to worry, leads to fear, leads to nervous breakdown, then to insanity, which leads to death. The death is not of the flesh when you die of old age only but it is the soul death as well for eternity. These shall NOT inherit the Kingdom of God unless they repent, change their minds and ways. You choose either Heaven or Hell. He made the provision for you to choose. He put His Son as a Passover Lamb upon the CROSS so that you will not go to hell. Jesus went to Hell instead of you. Go ahead and ask Him to save you and give you a New Heart and Mind. It's called Grace, unmerited favour of God to be Born- Again.
Life in the Spirit: This is another matter altogether. Being born-again in Christ Jesus, the Messiah, is absolutely amazing! He POURS into you: in waves , Love, Joy, Peace, Long-suffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Meekness, Temperance, Faith, as well as wiping from you the remembrance of every sin you ever committed. These inherit the Kingdom of God because they have repented of their sins and, a bonus, everlasting life! How does this happen? Just believe, have faith in God, who sent Jesus and HE DID IT ALL FOR YOU.
My commentaries are an illumination of seeing Jesus in the Bible. It is very important that we do not ADD to the Scriptures or TAKE AWAY the Scriptures and that is why you must read each chapter first to have an understanding of the WHOLE WORD. I have a fear of God to be totally submitted to EVERY WORD that proceeds out of the mouth of God. I am putting down ONLY the revelation of Jesus Christ as He shows me in His Word. I reiterate, please read the Scriptures for yourself. But it will take eternity to get to know Jesus as The Word.
There are millions if not billions and trillions of sermons and studies. This is not meant to be that. I just want you to see Jesus in the Bible and that He is the Word. There are prophets that God send to us to teach us, or a little book, or a television program, or a visitor. These are all part of The Bible. These are all part of who we are in Christ; but we still do not know Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. It will take eternity, but to us this is a little start. We will be adding, as we learn, and taking away, as we are corrected but we KNOW that Jesus is the soon-coming King who will rule and reign in Glory from Jerusalem very, very soon! If I say nothing else but JESUS IS COMING TO JERUSALEM, I have done my job.
