Happy Easter 2022 everyone, remember that you are valuable as i will try and write to you in black and white. So pray for the spirit of wisdom right now.
Think so well: John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Think of those of you who have lost loved ones in recent years, or maybe right now! These people who are in Paradise right now! (They are lifted up it says in an older edition). It means that the servant of the Lord has been given rest. And for those who are left full of sorrow and bitterness, No far from you friend! In Jesus Holy Name. The rest of us He will prune so that we can reap more souls for Him who can and said: It is finished. In Jesus name
And we take a little jump to John 16:8-11 And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Pleace read it one more time! We know that here the Lord means the Holy Spirit that He was to send after He was risen from the dead.
Of sin, because they believe not on Me;
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see Me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
So what is true judgmental sin? It says so.
So what does justice really mean. We are reminded of James 5:16 where it says: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. There was one answer we have several examples of justice:
Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: There came the answers to the other two.
2 Tim 2:8 ...What did Paul want Timothy to remember? Was he asking him to remember that Jesus Christ was the seed of David? That He was raised from the dead? No!!! He wanted him to remember or keep in mind that it was for the purpose that our risen Lord revealed to Paul and told him to preach "my gospel". It was the gospel according to the revelation of the mystery, not according to prophesy. Rom 16:25. It was the revelation of the Body of Christ and not the Kingdom of Israel. It was about salvation without works, Rom 11:6 not salvation with works. Salvation by faith with works is the gospel of the Kingdom and why James insisted that is was not faith alone. That gospel will be preached after the Body of Christ is removed from the earth and the judgment of God begins to be poured out in the 70th week of Daniel, the tribulation. It was kept secret until reveled to Paul, Eph 3:1-5. Not what Christ gave to Peter and the other apostles when Christ was on earth and in Acts 2-3.
If you begin to rightly divide the word of God, you will see this difference and all the seeming contradictions facing the vast majority of Christians today will disappear. 2Tim 2:15

What does it mean to sell your birthright or in some of you give it away.
Esau did both.
While we do not understand His providence, those who may wonder about these things will see His sovereignty, even as Jacob and Esau become living examples of the mercies of God.
Living out their lives these two would eventually reunite as brothers.
The true inheritance is the birthright too all who live in the Devine providence of God!
His sovereignty is yours and mine, if we are in the providence of Him!
If you are living outside of Him , there cannot be reunification, nor inheritance, nor birthright.
There would be no well of water without the providence of God.
Do you see Him sitting their waiting for you?
Come too Him and ask of Him a drink of this water, this water that springs up to eternal life! Glory to God in the Highest, peace and good will toward man! In the name of God the Father , God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit!
1 Corinthians 6:2 Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world?
1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we (the saints) shall judge angles?
Psalms 149:9 To execute upon them (the world) the judgement written: This honour hath all his saints ......
Revelation 2:26 And he (the saint) that overcometh and keepeth MY WORKS unto the end, to him (the saint) will I give power over the nations.
Revelation 2:27 And he (the saint) shall rule them (the world) with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers; even as I received of my Father.
Psalms 2:8 Ask of me (the Father) and I (the Father) shall give thee (Christ) the heathen (the world) for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the world for thy (Christ) possession.
Psalms 2:9 Thou shall break them with a rod of iron; thou shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
Psalms 2:10 Be wise therefore, O ye kings (the saints): be ye instructed, ye JUDGES (the saints) of the earth.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I WILL MAKE THEM (the world), which are of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are JEWS ( they say they are born again of the word of God) and are not; but do lie, Behold I WILL MAKE THEM to come and worship before thy feet, and TO KNOW that I have loved you.
1 Corinthians 4:21 What will ye? Shall I come to you with a ROD, or in love with the spirit of meekness?
Isaiah 26:9 .....when thy judgements (of the saints) are in the earth, the inhabitants or the world WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS ......
After Jesus completed what was accomplished on the Cross, and ascended back into Heaven, to sit at the Right Hand of God: the Disciples began to lay the foundation of believers who would trust Jesus to save them eternally.
Later Apostle John would be incarcerated on the Isle of Patmos; where by Jesus would help him write the Book of Revelation. All words and signs have been provided, so that we can understand TODAY is the day of Salvation; provided from the very foundation of this world we live in now.
We evangelize while it is still "daytime", to give the gospel that will save and change the inner man/woman. Our souls have that sense of timing within us.
Those who are perishing, do not have that sense. The "god" of this world has captured and blinded their minds.
That's why Corporate Prayer, in a church is so powerful. They can set captives (to sin) free; to hear the words of salvation.
It is that sense of time running out, that should spur Jesus's true disciples (on earth now), to speak up. Be the louder voice.
A long time ago, I heard a song that inspired me to evangelize. HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING by Darrell Mansfield. It should jolt your spirit, to reach out horizontally to those who perish. Our testimonies of how we came to believe in Jesus: are priceless. Don't be afraid to speak up. Even this Sunday as we celebrate the work of the Cross of Christ. He is the sacrifice slain, so the Jews could Spread The Blood over their doors.
Guys, the Easter Bunny is a child's story. Be strong and tell the real story of what Passover means. May God bless those who do it.
Someone had to die, to mark our homes for life, not death. We only have to tell the story of who it was who died for our sins, and eternal life.
The commentary here elaborates once again the prophetic implications of David's Psalm which have implications for the Messiah to come. Verse 10; however clearly implies David only as iniquities causing his ailment are mentioned; some have linked it to a sexually transmitted illness due to his many relations with women (such as veneral disease).
Once again; a hidden place in God's "pavilion" (v. 20) are offered to those saints which fear God (v. 19). The reward in v. 23 for the evil doer once again shows that we reap what we sow. These verses referring to a "strong city" (v. 21) are indicative of the heavenly Jerusalem most likely; and could refer to the Rapture and or Resurrection of the saints.
Verse 5 shows what Christ stated when He died "into thine hands I commit my spirit". ( Luke 23:46). The part of being redeemed is for the rest of the saints; as Christ overcame through His own Divinity. It is finished was stated in John 19:30. This shows that after death He was victorious; and by no means was "suffering in hell" but was proclaiming victory; and setting free the captives ( Eph. 4:8). Also this fits in with the penitent thief being with Him "today" in paradise ( Luke 23:43). Three days later; at the Resurrection many were brought forth from their graves and appeared to many. As to whether they went to heaven as the first of the firstfruits is of some controversy; but no other explanation seems likely. Satan was defeated and the stage was set for the verse "death where is thy sting?" ( 1 Cor. 15:55-57).
Several other verses; particularly verse 13 seem to show the sufferings of Christ. Verse 11 is very similar to those used by Job during his trial.
One can learn from the intensity and the power of wrong thinking when we do not except Christ. Jesus refers to it as the light. Believe in the light while we have Him. These words compared to nothing less than life here on earth and the life hereafter, called eternity.
He that hates this life, profound as it may seem, are the effects of living in Christ.
Even so we are in the world, doing the will of God, confronting sin in the world.
One may begin to wonder what heaven will be like after leaving this place?
Jesus once again confronting the Pharisees, who did not have far to come, watched Christ having dinner with Lazarus.
So, Jesus takes the opportunity not far from the temple giving the place for Mary to show Her Faith with the anointing of Christ feet, while Her brother looks on! Her brother, this one Jesus clearly raised from the dead after 4 days in the tomb!
The fact that the Pharisees, Simone, and Judas were all there is evidence that Jesus was giving these another chance to believe who He is. This is power, Christ is fearless in the eye's of an unbelieving hateful people ,who only wish to kill Him!
Friend; Mt. 22:12 = In the New Testament, two root words translate into the term "friend". The first, and most often used, is the Greek noun root (pronounced "FEE-los") which speaks of brotherly love (e.g. CHRIST's love for HIS "friend" Lazarus; Jn. 11:11).
But here, "friend" translates from the Greek noun root (transliterated "hetairos"; pronounced "het-ah-EE-ros"). This term speaks of two close associates who are bound by mutual obligations such as in business ventures wherein both must equally trust, confide, and depend upon the other. Such is the use of the term "friend" in this parable as well as that used by the householder when responding to the employee's complaint concerning his wages ( Mt. 20:13):
"But he (the householder) answered one of them, and said, Friend (Greek "hetairos"), I do thee (the employee) no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?"
The king's use of the word "friend" proves highly ironic for this attendee was unconcerned, and possibly even rebellious toward the dress requirement. By blatantly violating such a visible requirement as refusing to wear a "wedding garment", this attendee revealed his lack of cooperation and resistance to other obligations as well (cp. Ps. 55:12-14 & 20-21).
Of note, JESUS addressed Judah Iscariot as "friend" when Judas betrayed HIM ( Mt. 26:50):
"JESUS said unto him (Judas), Friend (Greek "hetairos"), wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on JESUS, and took HIM."
The verse above ( Mt. 26:50) fulfilled the prophecy recorded in Psalm 41:9:
"Yea, MINE own familiar* friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of MY bread, hath lifted up his heel against me."
* Hebrew "shalom" = English "peace".
While Judas was CHRIST's "friend" only through his feigned and hypocritical discipleship, he perfectly fits in the context of a "familiar friend" ( Ps. 41:9) as John 13:18 & 26-27 describes: "I know whom I have chosen:He that eateth bread with ME hath lifted up his heel against ME."
Many here have probably seen this before, but for those who haven't here is a riddle:
This riddle was written by a lady in California in 1890 in response to a gentleman in Pennsylvania who said he would pay $1,000.00 to anyone who could write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed to solve this puzzle and paid the lady the $1,000.00, a great sum at that time.
The answer is one word five letters long and appears only four times in the King James version of the bible. An 8 year old boy figured it out, can you?

Why in vs 13 does it say the disciples understood that he was speaking of John the Baptist?
If you begin to rightly divide the word of God, you will see this difference and all the seeming contradictions facing the vast majority of Christians today will disappear. 2Tim 2:15

The Israel of OLD believed in God.
Even devils believe in God.
But the Israel of OLD didn't believe the words of God.
The Israel of NEW have the same problem, they don't believe the words of God.

The answer is one word five letters long and appears only four times in the King James version of the bible. An 8 year old boy figured it out, can you?
God made Adam out of the dust,
but thought it best to make me first:
So I was made before the man
According to God's holy plan.
My whole body God made complete,
Without arms or hands or feet.
My ways and acts did God control,
But in my body He placed no soul.
A living being I became
And Adam gave to me a name.
Then from his presence I withdrew,
For this man Adam I never knew.
All my makers laws I do obey,
And from these laws I never stray.
Thousands of me go in fear,
But I seldom on the earth appear.
Later, for a purpose God did see,
He placed a living soul in me;
But that soul of mine God had to claim
And from me took it back again.
And when this soul from me had fled,
I was the same as when first made;
Without arms, legs, feet or soul,
I travel on from pole to pole.
My labors are from day to night,
And to men I once furnished light.
Thousands of people, both young and old,
Did by my death bright lights behold.
No right or wrong can I conceive;
The Bible and it's teachings I can't believe.
The fear of death doesn't trouble me;
Pure happiness I will never see.
Up to heaven I can never go,
Nor in the grave of Hell below.
So get your bible and read with care;
You'll find my name recorded there.
So he decided to read a book
The book of his legal records
He decided to take a look
He was reminded of the time
When Mordecai reported the plot
The king wanted to know
How he had been thanked for his troth
Nothing had been done
Not yet for this man
The king wanted to reward him
Thank him for his stand
Haman had just arrived
To ask for Mordecai's death
The king asked for Haman's presence
They hadn't spoken just yet
He asked what should I do
To honor a good man
Hey man thought he would get
All that he can
He must be speaking of me
I am the man he upholds
I would give him a royal horse
Put on him a royal robe
I was slowly parade this man
Through the city streets
Proclaiming his royal honor
For all of the people to see
Go do these things at once
You'll leave the horse, yes you
Do all that you recommended
For Mordecai the Jew
Haman robed Mordecai
Led him through the city streets
Proclaiming his honor for all
For all the people to hear and see
Mordecai went back to rest
Sit down at the palace gate
Haman rush home and told his wife
All about his day
She said he must forget
About his malicious plan
Because now the Jew he hated
Was a famed and honored man
Haman was not happy
For he knew what she said was true
How did the tables turn?
Now he must honor the Jew
It's time for Esther's banquet
Where the king wants to hear her voice
Haman had to hurry
To attend he had no choice
(By Esther Coleman-Spells)
