W hen a person make a profession to serve God, the first month, and the first year are the most crucial. The new believers must embark upon the action of cleaning their life from jealousies, grudge, covetousness, spites evil speaking and unforgiven spirit. If he or she do not dump these sins they will fallow the new believer around like a dog in heat, and ruin every thing for you.
The new believer must also set his or her heart to seek God. Not every thing in the scripture refers to each person. Salvations are tailor made. The lord in dealing with you take your genetic make up into consideration, and might give you more grace accordingly to your situation. We se Sampson was a fornicator, but was mightily use by God. God take Sampson’s genetic make up into consideration in dealing with him.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BIBLE.
If your faith is going to be undermine, it has to be done from the root and that is the scriptures. If Satan can make you doubt the validity of the scriptures, then he will undermined your faith. In all of these message board, I came across. Satan always have a servant or two on these board that are undermining the faith of Christians.
Acts 20:29 (NASB-U) "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;
Acts 20:30 (NASB-U) and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
1 John 2:19 (NASB-U) They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.
YOUR FAITH CAN BE OVERTHROWN.
2 Tim. 2:18 (KJV) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
YOUR FAITH CAN SUFFER SHIPWRECK.
YOUR FAITH CAN BE SPOILED.
YOU CAN FALL FROM YOUR OWN STEADFASTNESS.
1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES.
IF YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF IDIOMS YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE.
AN IDIOM IS
THE FIRST KEY WE WANT TO LOOK AT IS CALL "IDIOMS."
Example: It only happen once in a blue moon: "He has a serpent under his hat" "She have two faces" Hanna won the contest and now she is walking on air.
"He jump ship:" This does not mean that the person jump off a ship; it mean he changes plan quickly. Leave his political party, leave school, leave his church or even leaving is family over night. “ he jump over board” This does not mean that the person jump over a piece of board on the ground. This mean that the person jump off the ship. “He went over board” Ths does not necessary mean that the person fell of the ship. It men the person over did himself or herself.
EASTERN IDIOMS: TURN THE OTHER CHEEK:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!:
1 Cor. 6:7 (KJV) Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
Turning the other cheek mean to take the wrong, if that will put an end to the strife. And does not literally mean that if somebody is raping your wife you must stand there looking and do nothing about it. Some bullies beating you up on the street you must bend over, this is not what the Bible is teaching.
IDIOMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
The Bible is not hard to understand if the reader understand certain principles. What causes people to have problem understanding the Bible, is the eastern Idioms, proverbs, parables, and the symbolic languages of the Bible that seem to throw off people from our atmosphere.
RIGHT EYE IS THE IDIOM FOR HUSBAND:
WHAT THIS MEAN:
Matthew 6:3 (KJV) But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
FEEDING THE ENEMY:
Romans 12:20 (KJV) Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Proverbs 25:21-22 (KJV) If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: [22] For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
How many time must we feed the enemy? How many plate of food per day? The scriptures did not say. After feeding the enemy and if the enemy continue to be an enemy, it does not make any sense to nourish and enemy to hunt you down. By feeding the enemy you have made your peace offering with him. You have show he or she that you do not consider them to be an enemy and you do not hate them, you do not wishes them any harm, but they are safe with you. If the person continue to be your enemy after that, then you are a fool to continue provide sanctuary for somebody that is hunting you down like a wild pig. The person could complain of a belly aches, and accused you of poisoning them. Now what do you do? Every body knows that you two are enemies.
THE SYRIAN KING DID NOT BOTHER ISRAEL ANY MORE.
LOVE YOUR ENEMY:
The love use here is not a feeling, but a doing, therefore with this kind of love we can love any body because it is not a feeling but a doing. To bless the enemy is not to pronounce a verbal blessing upon him, with long life, health and wealth. No! It is just to pray for he/she so they might become the children of your heavenly father.
MEN WILL MAKE YOUR SPIRIT TURN AGAINST GOD.
Job 15:13 (NASB-U) That you should turn your spirit against God And allow such words to go out of your mouth?
Matthew 24:4 (NASB-U) And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.
THE SECRET OF THIS PASSAGE IS IN THE WORD "ENOUGH"
Luke 22:38 The Message Bible. They said, "Look, Master, two swords!" But he said, "Enough of that; no more sword talk!"
Christians need to be ware of disgruntle, message board posters. Because they can undermine your faith. You need to go and read the entire passage of scriptures and sometime read it from a modern translation. Bear in mind that the King James Version was from the year 1611. No body speak like that any more and few people even understand it. The spelling in it are outdated. It was good then, and good now only if your are spiritual.
READ ON.
"It is enough," not "they are enough." We are not to fight Judas and his crowd. It is My time to die. They thinking He referred to present defense, while His answer showed He meant something else.
JUST LIKE US TODAY KEEP MISUNDERSTAND THE WORD. THE DISCIPLE MUST HAVE MISUNDERSTAND JESUS AS ALWAYS.
Luke 22:35-38 (KJV) And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. [36] Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. [37] For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. [38] And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
Luke 22:38 - Here are two swords - Many of Galilee carried them when they travelled, to defend themselves against robbers and assassins, who much infested their roads. But did the apostles need to seek such defence? And he said; It is enough - I did not mean literally, that every one of you must have a sword.
“Buy swords” Or “Those on the house top”
Luke 17:31 (KJV) In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Any book or letter that uses idioms, parable, and such like can be taken out of context and laugh at by fools.
Matthew 26:51-53 (KJV) And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. [52] Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. [53] Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
John 18:10 (KJV) Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
THE SWORD ALSO CAUSE A MIRACLE, BECAUSE JESUS HEAL THE MAN BY PUTTING ON THE CUT OF EARS BACK.
This final Miracle was needed for the High priest to see that he was indeed taking a lamb to the slaughter. There were sword among them, but he did not fight, he even heal one of them that was wounded.
Isaiah 53:7 (KJV) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
ONE SAY THE SERMON WAS ON THE MOUNT THE OTHER SAY IT WAS ON THE PLAIN, WHICH?
ONE THE PLAIN:
THE ANSWER:
DOES ALL MEAN ALL IN ALL CASES?

AMRA
Bearer Of The Mind Sword, defender of the cross, protector of the Glory.
Proverbs 3:6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Psalm 34:8 (NASB-U) O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
Isaiah 7:11 (ASV) Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Isaiah 7:12 (ASV) But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah.
Ezekiel 18:32 (ASV) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
First you must recognize that you are a sinner and need God mercy.
1 Peter 2:24 (Living) He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!
YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF.
2 Peter 3:18 (ASV) But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Zech. 4:7 (KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Eph 2:8 The Message Bible” “Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! Eph 2:9 We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing!” There nothing you could do to save yourself , the only thing you could do is bowed your head and ask God to save you.
You must believe that there is a God.
No other person can save you except Jesus.
Acts 4:12 (Living) There is salvation in no one else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them."
Then you must know that God invites you to come to him.
Do not wait until tomorrow to get save.
2Co 6:2 The Message Bible. “God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped.”
Delay not your conversion to the lord, put it not off from day to day. Remember that tomorrow is promise to no man. Accept the lord, go home and continue with your life, if the lord.. If the lord saves you in bad life style, he has some plan up his sleeve how to get you out of it, give him time to work out his salvation in your life.
WHOSEOEVER SHALL CALL.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Now bow your head and pray this prayer.
From this day onward you will begin to feel a flood of joy and peace full your heart and mind. You must confess Jesus to others with your mouth. Tell what great thing the lord had done for you. Romans 10:9 (Living) For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Then you need to start reading the bible, start reading from St Mathew.
THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU HOLY IN HIS OWN TIME.
OUR BODY WAS NOT REEDEM AT CONVERSION.
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
THE SINS OF THE BODY WILL NOT BE CONQUERED LITERALY BY ALL SAINTS WHILE LIVING ON EARTH.
When the Lord redeemed us our body was not redeem, it was our spirit and soul. The changes took place in our spirit man. Not the body. The body will still continue to sin. If the believer do not know this they will become worried as to why am I still lusting? And became eaten up with guilt to the point where they experience no peace and joy.
Even though our body were not redeem, we who wanting to live up to certain standard, to please society, must bring our body into subjection, even thou we do not do that to buy salvation. But to prevent Satan from capitalized on it. But to bring this body into subjection take time. We saw belivers at the judgment seat of Christ in heaven being judge for the deeds of the body.
1 Cor. 9:27 (NASB-U)but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
2 Cor. 2:11 (NASB-U) so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Romans 12:1 (GW)Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God's compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you.
2 Cor. 12:7 (NASB-U)Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!
SOME THING YOU OVERCAME IT BY IMPUTED GRACE.
“I saw a river of blood, flows from Calvary Mountain, I am in it and your are in it, and I am clean, clean” By Smith Wiggle worth.
We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."

HOW TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.
Do not put any pressure upon yourself to live holy. Do not put any pressure upon your selves to live the Christians life, as you go on from day to day, the lord will work out his life and will in you. Do not let other over pais Christians set holy gold for you, it will strangulate you into discourage. The lord ask you to taste and see. Taste mean to take a small portion and feed upon it in your own time and style, and when you approved you take more.
Psalm 34:8 (NASB-U) O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
TWELVE PILLARS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
Daily praying, alms giving, confession of sins, fasting and prayer, daily Bible reading and mediating on the written word, assembling of yourself with other believers, confessing your faith to others, or faith sharing, supporting the ministry with your offerings and tithes, love the brotherhood, perfecting holiness, LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, and learning to listen to the leading voice of the Holy Spirit. This is not a twelve commandment, nor a way to get nor keep salvation, but if you master these it will fill your life with daily power, new vision and fresh revelation.
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
As you and I walk with the lord from day to day we will just walk right into his will, as we yield to his Holy Spirit. His will, will be unfolded to us.
Titus 3:2-AV To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
1 Thessalonians 4:11-AV And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
Romans 13:8-AV Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
