The Word of God (Part IV)
Topic: Word of God

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalms 119:105 KJV)

 

Before we'd enter into the war zone, I want to bring you attention that we have lamps in all of us. A lamp that will lead us to the path to life. A lamp that leads to the right relationship with God, family, friends, and people around us. A lamp that will help to reach to your destiny.

 

You might ask, "Where is the lamp? I like to have it."

 

I'm not describing actual lamp, but the Word of God. Remember the story of ten virginities in Matthew 25. All ten virginities invited to the wedding ceremony. The first five had enough oil for their lamps in order for them to reach to the destiny and another five didn't. By the time second five returned to get oils, it was too late for them to enter into the wedding feast.

 

Why do I bring this?

 

We need to prepare not just for our benefits, but benefits to other people around us. As I said earlier in this series, the Bible is not just a book that fills with historical events. It gives us hope, promise, and strength that we can live life and go through any obstacles with the help from the Almighty God. But, sadly, some of us may not take the time to read His Words and meditate on them. One of the reasons that our homes are messed because there is no room for God to intervene. We have several ways to access the Bible, but do we take the time to read it?

 

Our education system is so messed that some schoolchildren can't freely practice their Christian faith on their school campuses. If the kid would draw or wear Christian symbol, he/she must go to the principal office. Or if the teacher, who is Christian, share her/his faith to the class, he/she may suspend from teaching. However, schools allow other faiths that kids can engage into. Henry Potter series have been popular for children's learning curriculum. If you haven't know anything about Henry Potter series, it contains witchcraft and fantasy that children can tap into; and then they'd walk away from God and faith. It's worse now than 10-20 years ago. Today, we see that some children confuse with their identities. Our former commander and chief, President Obama, could veto ungodly legislations, such as LGBT, transgenderism, and gay marriage, but he favored these legislations. Let me ask you this. Do we need to please our people more than God? If we'd keep rely on the government than God, then we'd find very sticky situation. Yes, God's Words say that we need to respect our government. But our government would against the Words of God, we need to stand firm and show which authority that we should be on. Joshua said in Joshua 24:14-15, "Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

 

We need lamps in our daily lives, which it is the Word of God (B-I-B-L-E). It gives us breathe into our spirit men in us. There are three important parts that God created us. That is: spirit, soul, and body. We need to keep our spirit beings live in order for us live in this land. Our bodies and souls cannot function without spirits. If we'd die, our spirits can live either with God in Heaven or other spirits in Hell. If our spirits would end in Hell, there is no way to escape from it. God doesn't want us to go to Hell. We need to keep turn our lamps on with the Word of God and our relationship with Him.

 

If you are having problem to turn the lamp on, please consider to swap your life with establishing personal relationship with Jesus Christ. God doesn't want you to keep suffer with unsolved problems. No! The world is filled with problems, but you can have a successful life here on earth in the midst of chaos. If you'd exchange your ways of living a life with God's way, He can show you a path to abundant life. As Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:1-3.)

 

If you are lukewarm in your relationship with Jesus Christ and want to know Him as your personal Savior and Lord of your life, please consider asking Him to forgive your sins and invite Him into your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-10, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." If you have done in your private room or workplace, then you need to tell your friends or love ones about what you have done, so they may rejoice with you and want to have that relationship with Christ in their own life. There are many occults in the world, which do not know the love of God and His great plan for those who believe in Him. As it is written in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

God's Promise
Topic: Word of God

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 KJV)

 

Most of us may think that God is slacking His promises to us. We want Him to keep His words of promises according to our time table rather than His. We may not think that God is justice, but think that He's our buddy. Even though He is a justice God, He is  a longsuffering God that everyone should not end their life in Hell, but with Him eternally. He wants everyone come into repentance of their sins and be united with Christ.

Words of God & Family Feud
Topic: Word of God

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:8 KJV)

 

To have success in this life, I need to meditate on the Word of God. It's just not good for me just read the Bible for education purpose. The Word of God is God's spoken words to us throughout generations. If I'd want successful life before entering into His palace, I need to read His words and apply them to my life.

 

---------------------

Family Feud

 

That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. (Joshua 4:6-7 KJV)

 

It is sad situation for today's family. Why? How the kids are troubled today? Everyone in the household is busy. Everyone doesn't take time to sit to the dinner table to eat together as family. They don't talk to each other. Instead, we see that family is doing separate way. You see, this country is so messy that we can't put together in unity under one God. We see that some kids are in trouble due to their misbehavior in their homes and schools. Today's parents are frustrated to find out the solution.

 

We need to interact with our family on a regular basis. Do not rely on technology to work for you. Even though we can email or text to our people, it's not intimate to build our relationship with people.

The Word of God (Part III)
Topic: Word of God

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. (II Timothy 4:2 KJV)

 

As believers in Christ, we suppose to share the Word of God to the people. We are not supposed to keep His Words within ourselves. Not only share the Words to other people, we also need to be ready to give answers to whomever would ask us questions. This is why Paul told believers to be instant in season and out of season.

 

Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." We have job to do while we are living in this earth. Having a job is a part of God's plan for us to do since the beginning of time. In Genesis 2, God gave Adam a job. See, we must understand that God gave Adam and Eve job to multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it. God planted let people to govern the earth. They took responsibilities to take care of the earth, but they also enjoyed doing the job. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve's jobs became harder after they decided to follow the words of serpent (Satan) than God. However, even though our Adam and Eve failed to the serpent's trap, God didn't fail on them and us. He provided us another way to unite with Him.  Even though our jobs become harder, God brought His Son, Jesus, to pay our debt of sins, so that we may become His sons and daughters eternally.

 

So, why do we need to have God's Words every day in our lives?

 

First, this is not just a religious book, but it fulfills with God's promises to us. Psalms 105:42-44 declares, "For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people…" Even though Abraham didn't receive promise from God after 400+ years later, it didn't mean that God had forgotten about him. Apostle Paul said in Romans 4:13, "For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith."

 

Second, it is our spiritual boot camp handbook. Again, Paul said in Ephesians 4:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Even though  we may not feel like if we are in a war zone, we are in a battle against spiritual darkness daily. The ultimate goal for Satan is trying to make us to separate us from God, beginning with minds of children. Satan has accomplished children's minds with using Henry Potter book series that contain magical fantasy and witchcraft. Now, it's on transgender issues, making children to confuse with their identities. We will go more exploration on this in upcoming blogs.

 

And third, it's a book to guide us to have life. Psalms 1 points out there are two ways for us to live life in this world--God's way or ungodly. There is no third option to live life in this world. Other people, such as former President Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Pastor Joel Osteen tried to make people to believe another way to get to Heaven than through Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." There is no other way to get to Heaven. Not through Virgin Mother Mary (Queen Heaven), Allah (god of curse), or any gods, except through Jesus Christ. He is the only Person we need to go through this life and throughout eternality.

 

Are your love ones and friends saved in the grace of God through Jesus Christ? The purpose of this study is to help you to become closer relationship with Jesus Christ. As Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:1-3.)

 

If you are lukewarm in your relationship with Jesus Christ and want to know Him as your personal Savior and Lord of your life, please consider asking Him to forgive your sins and invite Him into your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-10, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." If you have done in your private room or workplace, then you need to tell your friends or love ones about what you have done, so they may rejoice with you and want to have that relationship with Christ in their own life. There are many occults in the world, which do not know the love of God and His great plan for those who believe in Him. As it is written in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

The Word of God (Part I)
Topic: Word of God

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (II Timothy 3:16-17 KJV)

 

What else major different between Christianity and other world religions? Living Words of God. The Bible, we have, is not just religious book that has many do and don't rules. It's the God's Words, who breathe with His Words to create entire universe, the earth, and us. It was not a Big Bang Theory to create the universe as Stephen Hawkins suggested. In John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The Word was the logos. As we read the first chapter of Genesis, we see that God's Words to create this world for us to dwell in. Before the serpent destroyed God's plan, He tended the earth as our home eternally. Unfortunately, God had to limit the age of human's living up to 120 years old age due to our sins. Before the great flood (Genesis 6-9), most people can live up to 950 or more.

 

The book that we have is the unique ones. Even the Bible is an ancient book, it is still relevant to today's generation. In fact, the Book of Acts has never closed, because the church era has not ended. Instead, it keeps building. I'm not talking about church buildings, because they all will demolish when Jesus Christ will return to the earth to vacuum all the junk away and make it new again as if it would never have been happened.  The church, I'm addressing, is a group of people come together to have fellowship and worship the Lord.  Acts 2:46-47 says, "And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." (Acts 2:46-47.)

 

Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." We are not here by accident, because the power of Word of God brought us to the world. Genesis 1:26 says, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." We have the power to speak to the people to have abundant life or death. It's good, but there is a risk involved. If we'd say negative things to our people, we just brake our relationship and kill their joy in life. But the Word of God brings wisdom, instruction, correction to our lives. Most of Americans would admit that they are Christians, yet they would not have time to spend to read His Words. That's sad. Because there are churches in every corner in the United States, people identify themselves as Christians. Yet, when the preacher would ask them if they are born-again, they could not give an answer.

 

Are you truly born-again into God's family? If you'd say no, you are probably in a good place to begin your life journey with Jesus Christ. I like to encourage you to find some friends, who can encourage you to digging into the Word.

 

Are your love ones and friends saved in the grace of God through Jesus Christ? The purpose of this study is to help you to become closer relationship with Jesus Christ. As Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:1-3.)

 

If you are lukewarm in your relationship with Jesus Christ and want to know Him as your personal Savior and Lord of your life, please consider asking Him to forgive your sins and invite Him into your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-10, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." If you have done in your private room or workplace, then you need to tell your friends or love ones about what you have done, so they may rejoice with you and want to have that relationship with Christ in their own life. There are many occults in the world, which do not know the love of God and His great plan for those who believe in Him.

Active God’s Words
Topic: Word of God

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11 KJV)

 

Over the years, people misused the word handicap, which they refer to the people with physically challenges. If we would break the word into three parts, we will clearly see that the word doesn’t relate to the person with disability, but it relates to the beggar. Even today, we may misuse God’s Words for our purposes and not His. As we just read Isaiah 55:11, the Bible, which we are holding, is the map of God’s ultimate plan for each of us and the world. Even Satan conquered this world at Garden of Eden (Genesis 3), God has not finished the earth yet until He would say the final words.

 

What is God’s will for your life? Even we may struggle to find the purpose of God for our lives, God has provided the manual book to each of us, the Bible (Basic Information Before Leaving the Earth). It’s just not filled with ancient historical events. The Bible, which we are holding, is very active to our lives. It gives us the healthy tip, life application, mathematics, science, biology, earth history, music lesson, and God’s future plan for this world. Many people may think this world will be annihilated permanently and God would recreate the earth. Even though God will bring the judgment against this world, He will not destroy it permanently. He will redesign the things that He already has created.

 

In Genesis 1, we read how the whole universe formed. It was by God’s spoken words. No wonder why Apostle John wrote, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1).” Scientists cannot prove His handiwork by the Big Bang Theory. If there would be Big Bang before the explosion of the atom, we would have difficult to answer on how we can live on the earth.

 

The words that God puts in our lives have mission and value. We need to share His words to the people. That was why there was Pentecost after Jesus ascent Himself to Heaven (see Acts 2). The twelve disciples were too comfortable in the small house. The revival didn’t start at the one of houses, but in the community. Even though we need to be gathered at the church to worship God and train ourselves, we also need to spread out to share the Gospel of Jesus

 

But we cannot do it until we have relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Do you have your relationship with the Heavenly Father? If not, I like to encourage you to develop your personal relationship with Jesus Christ today. First, confess your sins and invite Jesus Christ to your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-11, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” There is no sinner prayer formula. Instead, you just talk to God at where you are now. Secondly, I’d like to encourage you to find a good solid biblical teaching church and Christian friends. They can help you to build strong relationship with God. If you’d need further assistance, you can email me at mgjcwebminstries@mgjcweb.org or visit my ministries website at www.mgjcweb.org for further resources.

What is the Bible Mean to You?
Topic: Word of God

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 KJV)

 

I believe that most today’s Christians may spend not much of time reading God’s Words on regular basis because we nowadays are in computerize age. We can put our food in the microwave in 5 minutes to cook our meals. We can Google the word or phrase on the Internet to get information within a second. Or we can watch or listen to the televangelists to receive God’s Words in our living rooms without opening our own Bible.

 

About 80 percent of Americans call themselves Christians. If you are in a Roman Catholic Church, Mormon Church, or Methodist, you are Christian automatically. Being an active member of the church doesn’t guarantee that we are children of God. These three churches, I mentioned, may not carry the true Words of God or representation. If you would do the research on these churches, you would find that there are more than one god they worship, rituals, and rules.

 

The Bible is not a just historical book, but it is an inspiration of God (II Timothy 3:16) that speaks to us. It is our weapons to protect ourselves from the darkness of sins. Sin can do two or three things since the Garden of Eden. It can separate us our relationship with God. It can bring wages of sin to death eternally (Romans 6:23). Finally, it can bring physical death. Death didn’t start after Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command. Many people think that Adam and Eve ate the curse apple, which it comes from Walt Disney’s Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. We do not know what fruit Adam and Eve ate because the Bible didn’t clarify on this.

 

Paul said that the word of God is “the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6: 17).” We cannot just read the Bible as the book. We need to meditate on God’s words and apply to our daily lives. It is that there are at least 100 different versions of the Bible in America alone. Why we need to water down to make God’s words comfortable to our lives? We have NKJV, NIV, NCV, TLB, and more to make sin comfortable and enjoyable. Most today’s preachers may able to make their own versions of the Bible for their congregations. It is dangerous thing to do. Revelation 22:19 says, “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” For those who made modern versions of the Bible may accountable their actions. We need to be doers of the Holy Bible. We are God’s representatives to show His love and messages to the world.

 

But we cannot do it until we have relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Do you have your relationship with the Heavenly Father? If not, I like to encourage you to develop your personal relationship with Jesus Christ today. First, confess your sins and invite Jesus Christ to your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-11, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” There is no sinner prayer formula. Instead, you just talk to God at where you are now.

Nothing Separate Us from the Love of God
Topic: Word of God

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 KJV)

 

How many of you have experienced bad relationship? Most people have relationship with their families, girl/boyfriends, co-workers, and business associations. Unfortunately, these kinds of relations may fail sometimes in their lifetimes. As we see on the media, many people are hurting because of their bad relationships, including children. As the people of Israel, we have walked away from God and believed that He doesn’t exist in our land anymore. We can see that other religions began to open the door to represent this nation while Christians are going back to the closet. Then, if our nation would attack by the radical religious group, we would be coming out from the closet and begin to call upon God to save us

 

God is not like a genie from the magic lamp. It’s sad situation when the America started to seek His hands of blessing than His face. He is more than our Heavenly Father and Friend. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16). When we go and ask for help, He already knows what our needs are and ready to meet our needs. Unfortunately, we have misused Matthew 7:7-8 so must that we have forgotten the second step, which Paul said in Philippians 4:19, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

 

There is nothing separate us from the love God, but we must do our parts. We need to work our relationships with Him through every day of our daily living activities. You cannot make someone to love you without your actions. Most people think that God ran away from us; instead, we ran away from Him. We read throughout the Old Testament about how the people of Israel ran away from God and made their own government. Does this sound similar to our national situation? We see on the news that may people were killed by gun violence, many unborn children were killed by their parents through abortion procedure, some teenagers are taking their parents to the court for the college tuition, legalizing homosexual marriage, child abuse, and more. We turned our nation to the pagan nation.

 

Does God still love us? Yes, but we need to change our living for God. We need to call upon God and repent our sins to reunite with Him. There’s no gap that would block us to be with God. We cannot blame God for our mistakes. Currently, we have President, who has nothing to do with Christians, our relationship with Israel, and our national original laws. Every ungodly law come to his office, he’d sign it. If the godly law comes to his office, he’d veto it. We put him there. How do I know this? It’s on our daily news media. There is no secret that our politicians can hide his/her actions. Yet, some of us are spiritually blinded that we only can see what we see and hear on the secular media.

 

There need to be balanced for us to obey our government and God. But when our government would decide to legalizing more ungodly laws to entire nation, we’d need to stand and fight against it. We should not be silenced. I do not believe that we should be belonged to certain political party, except God’s. Our government should represent for God. Instead, our government decided to turn their back away from Him. As we continue to pray and fast for this nation return to God, we need to

 

·       Continue to share the gospel with other people around us

·       Continue to have quality time with God and family

·       Continue to seek for guidance from God and other believers to go through your day

 

Remember: God planned to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to us to pay our sins, so we can have free access to God and develop personal relationship with Him. Would you like to have personal relationship with God? If you’d like to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, I’d like to encourage you to do two simple things. First, confess your sins and invite Jesus Christ to your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-11, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” There is no sinner prayer formula. Instead, you just talk to God at where you are now.

Light of the Word
Topic: Word of God

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalms 119:105 KJV)

 

We have a book that leads us to God, which it is called the Bible. The Bible is not a religious book that contains the old English words. It is a book that teaches us to build our relationship with God. Even there are many versions of the Bible, we need to communicate with God every moment of our lives.

 

Psalms 119 is all about God’s Words. His words bring life to this world. In Genesis 1, we see how God created this world with His spoken words. We even can’t grasp the power of His words to His creation of the world. Yet, He tries to speak to our life everyday to guide us through difficulties.

 

Living a life for God is a challenging. Yet, we have a God, who cares us and wants to go through the obstacles with us. Apostle Peter said in I Peter 5:6, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” Satan and his demonic angels can’t help us with our life problems. Yet, we see every day that some people worship Satan through secular music that contains unhealthy words for our spiritual beings and souls. It is sad that some people don’t know what they are listening and feeding themselves into their spiritual bodies.

 

Do you want to live in a healthy life for the kingdom of God? It is not too late to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. God planned to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to us to pay our sins, so we can have free access to God and develop personal relationship with Him. Would you like to have personal relationship with God? If you’d like to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, I’d like to encourage you to do two simple things. First, confess your sins and invite Jesus Christ to your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-11, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” There is no sinner prayer formula. Instead, you just talk to God at where you are now. Secondly, I’d like to encourage you to find a good solid biblical teaching church and Christian friends. They can help you to build strong relationship with God.

Weapon of the Word
Topic: Word of God

It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4 KJV)

 

Using a word can be powerful that it can bring somebody to life or destruction. As we read in Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus used the Scriptures every time Satan tempted Him. Jesus said we should not live by food alone, but with the Word of God. This is why the Bible is important to us. Not only it gives us the hope and faith in God, it also helps us to guard ourselves from the scheme of the devils. If you do not believe the existence of Satan and demons, you would be spiritually blinded or become spiritually disability.

 

This is why Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Even though God’s Words can help us to build our personal with Jesus Christ, they can separate us from the darkness or secular world. Do you have your personal relationship with Jesus Christ? If not, I would like to encourage you to know Jesus Christ today.

 

Do you know why our nation so mess right now? We closed the Words of God in our lives. As I said in the previous message, many of us like to watch some preachers on the television as the fast food restaurants. We have become lazy to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to other people around us. If we’d want to lose some spiritual fatness, we need to put God’s Words in our spiritual diet. Paul said in I Timothy 4:8, “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” We cannot go to the war and fight for our nation until we would go through some training.

 

God planned to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to us to pay our sins, so we can have free access to God and develop personal relationship with Him. Would you like to have personal relationship with God? If you’d like to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, I’d like to encourage you to do two simple things. First, confess your sins and invite Jesus Christ to your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-11, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” There is no sinner prayer formula. Instead, you just talk to God at where you are now.

The Word: In the Beginning…
Topic: Word of God
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3 KJV)

 

When you think about certain words come to your mind, what are you thinking? The words have the power to give us life or death. In this message series, we will first look up Genesis 1 and answer how God created the earth within seven days.

 

As we read John 1:1-3, the Word was existed since the beginning of the time. We don’t know how the Word was created as how God was existed. We can’t answer the existence of God. Even though some scientists may believe in Big Bang Theory, we have the Word of God that said the earth was created by God’s Spoken Words. As we read in Genesis 1, all God’s creation was created by His spoken words. We don’t need make this more complication. We don’t need evolution theory to approve that the human came from the ape, because there is no approve to it.

 

John 1:1-3 also tells us that Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, was in the part of the creation. Apostle Paul said in Colossians 1:15-17, “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” Who is He? Jesus Christ! He was with God and the Holy Spirit in Genesis 1. Even though His name didn’t appear in the Old Testament, it doesn’t mean that the Bible has two gods. Don’t be confused to that.

 

God’s words are powerful. They give us life rather than death. They give us eternal security that Christ can come to live in each of us if we’d let Him. The Bible is not a religious book that fills with rules and regulations. It contains God’s breathing spoken words that give us life, love, and encourage to go through another day. It is a Basic Information Before Leaving the Earth.

 

Do you know why some of us tired to read the Bible? We are too busy with the world that we don’t have anytime with God. It is ashamed for us to put our agendas as priority before God. No wonder some of us suck into watching some preachers on TBN, CBN, DAYSTAR as fast spiritual food restaurants.

 

Do you like to change your lifestyle and live with eternal purpose? You don’t need to do petty party anymore, because God knows your needs and He wants to give it to you if you’d let Him.

 

God planned to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to us to pay our sins, so we can have free access to God and develop personal relationship with Him. Would you like to have personal relationship with God? If you’d like to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, I’d like to encourage you to do two simple things. First, confess your sins and invite Jesus Christ to your life. Paul said in Romans 10:9-11, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Blessing for Those Who Read the Bible
Topic: Word of God

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. (Revelation 1:1-3 KJV)

Most people may refuse to read the Bible every day, because:

1) Hard to understand the [KJV] Bible

2) Don’t have enough time to make quality time with God

3) Sunday is the only time to read the Bible

4) News on media vs. news in the Bible

5) And more…

The Bible may seem ancient to some people, but it is still relevant to our generation. It contains how we can live in healthy lives, current and future world events, how we can live a successful life, healing, and more.

Unfortunately, some Christians have come with new doctrines from God’s Words and make themselves idols. For example, some churches use the telethon to gain more money rather than reaching the lost souls, such as TBN Praise-a-Thon. It is ashamed for Christian leaders to do this robbery. Giving tithes to our local churches and communities are nothing wrong to worship our God, but when churches use tithe money for worldly fame, power, and wealth is not pleasing to God.

If you would want to receive the blessing, start mediate on God’s Word daily and put it into action.

What Does the BIBLE Means to Us?
Topic: Word of God

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. (Deuteronomy 4:2 KJV)

There is another word for BIBLE, which is the “Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth.” Our Holy Bible is not just history book. It’s more than that. Revelation 1 tells us the book is contained past, present, and future events. All the words in the Bible have not failed.

We think the Bible has errors. Why? First, we have made many versions of the Bible that would omit sins as possible. Many modern-day bible versions have misleading us about God’s Word. Because the KJV Bible is too old, it doesn’t mean that we need to come with some new versions. One of myths that some of us may believe is that we would have better understanding on God’s Words if we’d have NKJV, NIV, NCV, or TEV. This is totally lie from hell. We do not need better Bible to understand, but we need to invite the Holy Spirit to teach us on God’s Words.

Most American churches became fame because they were compromising on the Words of God. We should not compromise His Word to the world. We need to embrace the truth to our Father’s words.

The Word of God III: Promise of the Word of God
Topic: Word of God

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. (John 14:1-4 KJV)

In KJV Life Application says, “There are few verses in Scripture that describe eternal life, but they are rich with promises (see note John 14:2, 3).” The Bible is an instruction book for us to live a life according to God’s standard, but it also contains many God’s promises for the humanity. Unlike our promises to children, His promise for us and for this world doesn’t fail. His promise is always come true, whether we like it or not.


The Word of God brings us correction to our mistakes and instruction in righteousness (II Timothy 3:16). They are many books we can read about how we need to live a Christian life, but there is the only one book that is still outstanding since Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament (actually Job wrote the first book of the Old Testament). We can see His Word of prophecies began to come to reality that He spoke many centuries ago. We can see the little glimpse of the prophecy on today’s world event that Apostle John wrote in the Book of Revelation. We don’t need scientifically explanation of why the world is downside today. Even though ungodly men can speak true about corruption of this nation, God wants us to be alert about His warning to judge the world.

We sometimes so caught up with the rest of the world that we would forget our promises to children, friends, coworkers, and other people around us. Why? God knows that we are not like His thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9). But we make ourselves busy everyday and can loose our thoughts about them. This is sad situation. We need to build our relationship basis on our God, family and people, not on the material things. I hardly believe that person still can work at the night club or stripped club after he accepted Jesus Christ and became His follower. Although he can do the missionary there, but as a job position. Instead, we need to make separation ourselves to follow Christ or the rest of this world. We cannot please both God and the world.To be children of God, we must have boundary between the two worlds— Kingdom of God and the world—and trust God’s promises and make our efforts to keep promises for our own people just as what Christ did for us.

The Word of God II: Warning of Changing God’s Words
Topic: Word of God

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19 KJV)

We don’t hear often about what would happen if we change God’s Word. Nowadays, we don’t care enough which bible version is considered as the truth to God’s spoken words. We have confused with the original manuscript of the Holy Bible. We can read the NKJV, NIV, NCV, and TLV introductions of the Bible that say they were coming from the original manuscript of Hebrew and Greek words.


Apostle John wrote about the warning of changing God’s Words in Revelation 22:18-19. If we change God’s words from original, we will be looking forward to the wrath of God on us. This sound doesn’t seem good, but it’s true. I, too, am guilty on this. I thought all the Bible versions were considered as God’s Words.


I recommend for you to read the
KJV Bible Information to find why the KJV is considered as the true English Bible version. You will be amazed that why you don’t hear often on this subject. Many preachers use I Timothy 4:1 on the subject of end time prophecy. This is right on subject and it also relates to versions of the Bible.

There are several verses that give us about changing God’s Words as warning. We don’t need to create new version of the Bible for us to understand His Words comfortably. But we need to let the Holy Spirit teaches us to understand the God’s written words.

The Word of God I
Topic: Word of God

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 KJV)

As we would conclude this message series on relationship, I’d like to talk to you couple more weeks on the Word of God. If we shop at the Christian Book Store, we will see there are hundreds of Bible versions in their bookshelves. We can pick which Bible versions we like to use. Unfortunately, many of modern bible versions are not equal to the original version of the Holy Bible. Why do we have several bible versions than any other religions? What this effect to the churches today?


As the author of Hebrews said, the work of God is very powerful tool we have. We have the Bible for our souls, spirits, strengths, minds, and hearts. It can help us to learn how to build relationship with God and people. It can help us to understand the world history in the past, presence, and future. It also can help us to live in healthier life. Without the Bible, we would not be survived. The Bible also said that God’s Word shall not pass away like the world. “But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.” (I Peter 1:25a KJV.)


Sadly, many of us may lose the passion to read the Bible everyday. Or many of us exchange the Bible with different version to read for our own interest. If we would go to several different churches each week, we would have difficult to find KJV Bible churches. When I watched some TV programs on TBN, there are only few programs that teach on the KJV Bible. I believe that we need to be sensitive to read God’s Word or listen to the preacher’s message from which Bible.


I believe some churches lost the passion on the God’s Word due to several bible versions and something else. The Bible said we are aliens of this world. We don’t need to equally yoke with the world system, but being children of God. We don’t hear often about how the Bible is corrupted by the world system. It is the same way with Contemporary Christian Music Industries. They are trying to be equally yoke with the rest of the world. I’d be discussing more this issue in the new series on “Two-Side of Living.”

Let me ask you a question. Do you know the real Person Jesus Christ? If not, it is not too late to find Jesus Christ. Jesus said in Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” He wants to know you and show you the way to live a life if you let Him.
