Bible Way Church

We see this stone that smote the image began to establish His own Kingdom by the Zeal of the Lord, which shall never be destroyed, or passed to others.

It is said that man's heart is a idol factory, and that it's in our nature to worship, but what has happened is that man is fallen from the true worship, thus the propensity to love darkness rather than light, but God had chosen a people t redeem unto Himself and save. These He saved, he would commission them to be instruments whereby He would reconcile the world unto Himself.

We have to realize that we've been operating under a cursed earth, that came about because of our disobedience to God through Adam. The way of reversal of the curse is through obedience to the Gospel that Jesus brought, when He redeemed us through His blood, the obedience to faith of those that believe upon Him, His truth sets us free.

Throughout the New Testament where the Gospel is preached we already have Eternal life, give to us by God's grace through faith if we believe. It's something we don't have to work for, but we can exchange it for a lie, or the deception of the devil through the many antichrist that are in the world.

The Apostolic doctrine is how we judge any and all other teachings or instructions. Jesus said I've given them the truth, sanctify them by your word. In the 17 chapter of John He emphasized he prayed for those whom He had given His word to. It's foundational to the true preached Gospel, it is able to make you wise unto salvation. The word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

The most distinguishing aspect of the antichrist is it's doctrines, those of devils. We must learn and now the word of God because the famine to come will be in the instructions spoken by the beast and his adherents, which will be heretical teachings. The words of their mouths betray them, is why we must study to show ourselves approved rightly dividing the word of truth, because they will wrest the words of God to their own destruction.

We need to understand when it is said there are many antichrist, that this is a spirit (spirit of this age, seducing spirit, lying spirit) that starts to influence the people within the Church ranks. No wonder Jesus said to it unless you repent I shall fight against it.

We exam the spirit behind the "little horn" in the seven chapter of Daniel, which is the Spirit of Antichrist. It's not so much as a man but travels through the ages as the Spirit of the age, because of it's changing nature, unlike The True Holy Spirit (The Godhead), which is unchangeable.

As Amos speaks of the times they are living in, just how evil and unjust it was, it would be prudent to keep silent. He's not being hypocritical by him continuing to preach because it is given to some to be spokesmen during such times, but as we are witnessing now , it could mean loss of income, physical violence against ones person, a cause of division or in some cases even death.

In studying the Parable of the Five wis and Five foolish virgins seems as though all where in the Church but only five (5) where saved, due to a lack of a relationship with The Bridegroom. We have to continue to be filled with the Spirit which oil here is a symbol of. Wisdom helps develop prudence in everyday living, its' a attribute that is developed, but wisdom comes from asking God for it.

Prudence is something that denotes a great deal about God's children because it does not come in a vacuum but by real world experiences of our interacting with it through God's word and leading of His spirit. It develops over time, as we see with all the wisdom of Solomon we see at times where he lacked prudence.

I want to finish talking about the fellowship of Christ suffering in which the believer is enjoined to be a partaker of. But just as Jude had to address a pressing issue of the times, I want also to remind you Amos said we're living in a evil time, and that the prudent will keep silent.

We now look at the fellowship of His suffering, which really brings us to the New Testament meaning of the word. As in Luke 23:31 and other places, like drinking of the cup we see Jesus telling us that we must learn to deny ourselves and take up our cross to follow Him, is that we shall present our bodies as sacrifices for His cause to partake in the glory to be revealed.

We need to know what true fellowship is, which warrants a look at the early Church of Acts 2:42, exactly what is meant by fellowship today have lost all of it' cohesiveness. What binds together today in fellowship are shear works of the flesh and corrupt human nature (depravity). The tongue being the instrument that sets all ablaze, with political and religious division.

It is not good that man should be alone, was what God said in the beginning. God has created us for fellowship, As part of a family, in which He instills His character, writing His laws upon our hearts, us by His Spirit teaching, us leading us into all truths.

Th scripture tells us to be continuing filled with the spirt, which is what we do , praying, studying, meditating on the scriptures and doing the truth (walking in the word). But Jesus was born full or Grace and Truth, in all the purity that was Holiness.

It seems as though Pilate ask a rhetorical question "What is Truth", because he leaves out without answering it, or Receiving a response from Jesus. We know that Jesus is "The Truth, a real embodiment of truth. Biblical truth refers to the objective and absolute reality revealed in God's Word, rooted in God's unchanging character and will.

We study truth according to how God defines truth, in which Jesus answered Pilate when he asked "What is truth." We learned that Jesus is the truth, the way and Life, which is a way of living with all the attributes in which God's Holy spirit gifts us with spiritual purity and mature perfection.

In get the understanding from John that Jesus was in the beginning with God, and was the one who actually was the spokesman that said :Let there be light." That The Word, was God and came to dwelt among us, in which in touched, handled and had a knowledge of, which disputed the Gnostics teachings of the day.

As children of God we have been called to walk in the light as He is in the light, so we should make the most out of glorifying Him, not pleasing ourselves or trying to be seen for self edification.

In Genesis and 1 John 1 read study about light, and that that light was in the beginning with God, it was the Word, and was made flesh. Jesus is that light, so we must exam all of the metaphors, symbols and meanings of what Light is. We see where He would be a light of the Gentiles and would light every man that comes into the world.

There's a change that comes about when we are walking in the light, as Peter took on a boldness to address, the Sanhedrin and Pharisees' as that "man ought to obey God rather than man." Then they said this man has been with Jesus, noting his steadfast loyalty to this new "Way."

John is addressing here a statement that one can SAY but what is said is not the truth, if the life they are living doesn't match up to the light of God's word. It shows one is a liar , and does not the truth. It has to be within obedience to God's word whether we are walking in the light and have fellowship with Him.

As the storms of life bring trials and tribulations we have to continue to abide in Christ, trusting Him to help us weather the storms. He has to be the rock that we're hued from our very strong foundation when life seems to shake the ground beneath us. He the one that is our refuge, the one to help us to overcome what is to come upon this world that lies in darkness.

When we know what walk means biblically it helps us to condition our mind of faith. It allows us to see ourselves being translated into His Kingdom, out of darkness. We develop our relationship with His presence as, Enoch did for he walked with God.

We see where Jesus has redeemed man and delivered him from the power of darkness (evil), into His Kingdom of Light. Then comes about from hearing the Gospel (Word of God), in which births us into His Body, The regeneration, being born again, we began a process of regeneration.

We have to realize as we ask God for our daily bread, He gives it to us as being the bread of life, it is necessary for our growth in Him. It has to be assimilated into our very being, our spiritual essence, the nature and attributes of God, in which it is sanctifying us, washing us from all sins the cleansing action is in being a doer of the word.

As the Stone smote the image, it was Christ bruising the serpents head. His Kingdom has started to grow since at that time, with Him transitioning His people "The Saints of God" into their ruling and reigning. It's a progressive growth as the manifestations of the Sons of God come.

As the Stone smote the image, it was Christ bruising the serpents head. His Kingdom has started to grow since at that time, with Him transitioning His people "The Saints of God" into their ruling and reigning. It's a progressive growth as the manifestations of the Sons of God come.

We have to be as Jesus was in seeing the Kingdom within and among us. We pray that "Thy Kingdom Come", not realizing that we are helping to bring that spiritual reality to life in this present-age. We are to be the light bringers that rule and reign with Christ, Him giving us the Kingdom to posses it, and have dominion here on earth.

There's coming a time of the restoration of all things, as The Man Christ Jesus overcame the world, dying for us, redeeming us to rule and reign with Him in the Kingdom of God. He has been the workman through which the Spirit has made all things new.

Daniel was distressed, He dread it when given the interpretation of the dream, or vision. It seems overwhelming to comprehend some of the things God is giving us, we need further instructions sometimes to fully grasp what we are seeing or being described and just what to do with it.

As disciple's of Jesus we are told to learn of Him, so when shown the four beast dream Daniel reacted sort of with consternation wondering what was the meaning of the dream. The interpretation was given him, because Jesus calls us friends not servants , and reveals to us what He is doing.

We see that Daniel here agonizes with what he saw. He's fill with dread, ats the interpretation is delivered. The Son of Man, receive the Kingdom, dominion and the majesty which will never cease or be overcome.

As we near the end of the times of the Gentiles, whereas all of the Kingdoms of the world become those of our Lord, our preparation for ruling and reining with Him comes to the forefront. Those that He's working in to come out of Babylon begin to do the works of God, manifesting our light unto the world. The brightness of His coming destroys the wicked ones. As He commissioned us to go forth preaching the Gospel making Disciples of all nations, for today is the day of salvation.

The Temple that God is building to dwell in will be built with Integrity because of His Holiness. The material that goes into it encompasses acting with consistency, trustworthiness, and a commitment to ethical behavior at all times, it's who we are, the essence of our character. For through His spirit along with The Father, Son and us we are made into His image.
