4 But
God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with
which He loved us,
5 even
when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with
Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and
raised us up together, and made us sit
together in the heavenly places in Christ
Jesus,
7 that
in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace
in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For
by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not
of works, lest anyone should boast.”(Ephesians 2:4-9)
In my last message we dealt with how Paul,
who was transformed from Saul the persecutor of those who followed
Jesus Christ, called the Way (before they were called Christians at
Antioch), into Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles after being met on
the road to Damascus by the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
We
touched briefly on “mysteries” (secrets) that were revealed to
Paul alone and that make up a vast portion of the New Testament that
touch the Church body of Paul's time, and ours today. Some make the
statement in my last message that Abraham was the beginning of faith
in God. True, Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for
righteousness, but Paul showed that since Jesus death and
resurrection, grace alone through faith is what is required for
salvation. Let us recap what we have learned and take a moment and
review each found on my blog space as we go further into the
“secrets” that Paul learned from the risen Lord Jesus:
The
Secret of the Gospel of the Grace of God
The
Secret of the Blinding of Israel temporarily to their Messiah
The
Secret of the “catching away” of the Church
Let
us go further in the revealed mysteries or “secrets” that our
Jesus Christ revealed to Paul and to him alone for the edification of
this present day Church.
THE
SECRET OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
We
further proclaim that Paul alone was given the “mystery” of the
body of Christ by the risen Lord, when He taught Paul that that each
member of the Church is equal, whether Jew or Gentile. The Body of
Christ is One Body of which we are all a part of. We are all equal,
but have different roles to play, just as an eye, or an ear, or a
hand and foot each have different roles to play in the human body and
each are necessary and vital to the health and well being of that
human body, such are each of the Body of Christ.
“For
even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the
members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also
is Christ” (1
Corinthians 12.12).
This
concept was not preached by any of the Twelve Apostles, as it was
given to Paul alone.
13
“But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far
off have been brought near by the blood of Christ
14
For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups
into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
15
by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the
Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in
Himself He might make the two into one new
man, thus establishing peace,
16
and might reconcile them both in one body to God through
the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
17 And He
came and preached peace to you who were far away, and
peace to those who were near;
18
for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit
to the Father.
19
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you
are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s
household,
20
having been built on the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,
21
in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a
holy temple in the Lord,
22
in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling
of God in the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:14-22)
13 “In
whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye
were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the
earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, unto the praise of his glory.” (Ephesians 1:13-14)
Becoming
a member of the body of Christ, the Church, is through the baptism of
the Holy Spirit. This is not a sensory experience. It occurs when one
believes the gospel and accepts Jesus as Lord of their life .
3“For
I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how
that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And
that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to
the scriptures:” (1
Corinthians 15:3-4)
Paul
emphasizes that we are one body after the receiving of the Gospel
further in earlier verses:
12 “For
even as the body is one and yet has
many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many,
are one body, so also is Christ.
13 For
by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or
Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one
Spirit” (1
Corinthians 12.12-13).
We
learn from Paul alone that Christ is the Head of the Body, which is
the Living Church of God (Ephesians
1.22; 4.15;5.23; Colossians
1.18; 2.19).
In the
age of grace Christ is nowhere called the “king” of the Church.
That is His title for Israel. A king has subjects. But we have Christ
as our Head, not our King. We are integral to Him. We are joint-heirs
with Him:
15“For
you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again,
but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which
we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
16 The
Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the
children of God:
17 And
if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified
together.(Romans
8:15-17).
A
joint-heir enjoys
a different kind of relationship than a subject to a king. A
joint-heir is one who shares everything belonging to the heir. This
is grace! We know this from Paul alone for it, again, was a
secret Paul received from the risen Lord.
Notice
the relationship in the above verses? Yes, Jesus is the King of
kings, and Lord of lords (Revelation 19) but to the born again
believer, He is the head of the Body of all believers. We are heirs
and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, as we will share, as part of His
Body, all the riches and glory He is right now, we will be. To me,
just to imagine, which I can't fully, the ramifications of what this
passage in Romans means, makes my head spin and my imaginations
cannot fully comprehend.
“Eye
hath not seen or ear heard, or entered into the heart of man, what
God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1st Corinthians
2:9)
THE
SECRET OF OUR HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP
From
Paul alone we learn that the believer in the body of Christ has a
heavenly position and heavenly citizenship. Peter and the Twelve
looked forward to an earthly position,
not a heavenly one. The Jew knew nothing of heavenly blessing. He
looked forward to the kingdom on earth.
In
the coming reign of our Lord Jesus Christ, here on earth, Jesus will
sit on the Throne of His earthly ancestor, of the lineage of King
David and rule from Jerusalem. The Prophet Zechariah
declared:
9 “And
the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day
the LORD will be the
only one,
and His name the
only One.
10 All
the land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of
Jerusalem; but Jerusalem will rise and remain on its site from
Benjamin’s Gate as far as the place of the First Gate to the Corner
Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses.
11 People
will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem
will dwell in security”(Zechariah
14.9-11 cf. Zechariah
8.2-3; Daniel
7.14, 27).
Consider,
When the disciples asked the Lord how they should pray, he answered
them:
9 “Pray,
then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be
Your name.
10 ‘Your
kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 ‘Give
us this day our daily bread.
12 ‘And
forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 ‘And
do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For
Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen’” (Matthew
6.9-13).
Is
anything heavenly here? Jesus told his disciples to pray for God’s
kingdom to come to earth and
for His will to be done on earth. Jesus
knew His Old Testament. He knew He would reign as David’s greater
Son (Luke
1.32).
Jesus Christ will usher in His Kingdom on earth and will rule it with
a rod of iron. This will most likely be the population restored
during the Millennium of those of Jewish ancestry, with few
Gentiles.
But the Glorified Church, the body of Christ, has
different promises than Israel. God’s promises to the Church
are heavenly not
earthly. Thus, Paul wrote the Ephesians:
“Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,”
(Ephesians
1:3) and
further in chapter two of Ephesians :
4 “But
God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He
loved us,
5 even
when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with
Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and
raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the
heavenly places in
Christ Jesus,”( Ephesians
2.4-6)
Unlike
Israel who has been promised an earthly kingdom ruled by Jesus Christ
from Jerusalem, we have a different promise that is given solely to
the body of Christ...the saints of the Church. We have a heavenly
citizenship:
20 “For
our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a
Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
21 who
will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the
body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to
subject all things to Himself” (Philippians
3.20-21).
We
will be resurrected or changed in the twinkling of an eye at the
HARPAZO or rapture at the coming of the Lord Jesus for His Church and
receive a glorious body, the same as the Body the Lord Jesus
possesses right now. Speaking of our resurrection body, which is
located in heaven, Paul wrote the Corinthians:
1 “For
we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we
have a building from God (our new spiritual bodies), a house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For
indeed in this house we
groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven,
3 inasmuch
as we, having put it on, will not be found naked.” (2nd Corinthians
5:1-3)
And
the apostle John echoed that same Truth when he wrote the following:
“Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should
be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not,
because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now
are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:
but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we
shall see him as he is.
3 And every man
that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.”
(1st John 3:1-3)
Are
you ready for your change, your citizenship found in heaven as the
heir and joint-heir with Jesus Christ, our Lord?
THE
SECRET OF GOD'S WILL
The
secret of his will is God’s plan to gather together in one all
things in Christ. Only Paul revealed this truth. Paul wrote this to
the Ephesians:
9 “He
made known to us the mystery [secret] of His will, according to His
kind intention which He purposed in Him,
10 with
a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the
times, that
is,
the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and
things on the earth”.
(Ephesians
1:9-10)
A
parallel passage of this truth is from Paul’s letter to the
Colossians:
19 “For
it was the Father’s good
pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, (JESUS CHRIST)
20 and
through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace
through the blood of His cross; through Him, I
say,whether
things on earth or things in heaven” (Colossians
1.19-20).
Are
you in the will of God? Have you found my Jesus?
THE
SECRET OF THE GRACE OF GOD
Paul
revealed through revelation from Jesus Christ, that the Christian
operates under grace, not under the Law. Paul began every epistle
with the salutations that spoke of the grace of God. This was a
totally newly revealed relationship that was revealed by Paul,
through Jesus Christ who taught him.
No
word more clearly identifies Paul’s ministry that the word “grace.
” It is the Greek word χάρις and
means “favor.” God gives us what we do not merit or deserve. When
someone receives God’s grace by believing the gospel, then God
begins this transformation when a person seeks after God's
righteousness and enables us to love God, as He first loved us. The
ultimate goal is that we become transformed, conformed to the image
of Christ :
29 “For
whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the
image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 'Moreover
whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called,
them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified.”(Romans
8.29)
And
expressed similar thought in the letter to the Philippians:
6' Being
confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in
you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”(Philippians
1.6).
Paul
was the epitome of God's grace when as Saul, he terrorized the
followers of Jesus Christ. God did not destroy Saul, He saved him by
revealing Himself to Saul. From the point on, Saul became Paul the
Apostle, a most zealous follower of His risen Lord and Savior.
In
the Pauline epistles, Paul uses the word “Grace”χάρις (in
Greek) appears 156 times in 147 verses in the New Testament. Paul’s
usage accounts for 103 verses (70%). Paul was alone when he
revealed to the fledging Church that we are saved by grace, and not
under the Law. He revealed that man was justified by grace through
faith, and not of any works that we could do. This was not revealed
to Peter or any of the other apostles, but was learned from Paul.
Peter helped Paul when addressing the Jerusalem Council on these
questions of following the Law of Moses as a requirement for
salvation. He revealed Christ is the end or goal (τέλος) of the
Mosaic Law.
4 “ For
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that
believeth.
5 For Moses
describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which
doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the
righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in
thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ
down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall
descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the
dead.)
8 But what saith
it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that
is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 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.”.(Romans
10:4-9).
No
other writer of Scripture revealed these things. They are all part of
the “secret” the ascended Lord revealed to the great
apostle. Have you embraced that free gift of grace and mercy
found in Jesus?
THE
SECRET OF THE IDENTIFICATION WITH CHRIST.
All
who believe the gospel have been identified with Christ.
3 “Or
do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ
Jesus have been baptized into His death?
4 Therefore
we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as
Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so
we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For
if we have become united with Him in
the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in
the likeness of
His resurrection,
6 knowing
this, that our old self was crucified with Him,
in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we
would no longer be slaves to sin;
7 for
he who has died is freed from sin.
8 Now
if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with
Him,
9 knowing
that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again;
death no longer is master over Him” (Romans
6.3-9).
When
a person believes the message that the Apostle Paul preached
according to the revelation given to him by Jesus Christ, then he is
baptized into the body of Christ. Paul spoke of being “buried”
with Christ, which is what baptism symbolizes. We become a new
creature in Christ Jesus, Behold all things have become new. We are
not, (or should not) be the same person we were. We seek after God,
searching and living His righteousness, found in the life lived by
our example, Jesus Christ. It is a lifelong endeavor in the School of
God's Holy Spirit which the Bible calls “sanctification”.
As
we have been united to Christ in his death we have also been united
with him in his resurrection. As Christ will never die again, we will
never die. In terms of living the Christian life, this has immediate
practical benefit. Paul wrote the Romans,
10 “For
the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life
that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Even
so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ
Jesus.
12 Therefore
do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,
13 and
do not go on presenting the members of your body to
sin as instruments
of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from
the dead, and your members as instruments
of righteousness to God.
14 For
sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under
grace” (Romans
6.10-14 cf. 8.1-39).
Since
we have been buried with Christ in Baptism, we are dead to sin, and
the Holy Spirit gives us the power to overcome our tendency to sin.
It won't come all at once, as we will continue to slip up, and when
we do, we ask for forgiveness in repentance of our sinful nature that
reared it's ugly head and He forgives us, as a faithful Father and
author of our salvation can only do.
Writing
to the Galatians, Paul expressed identification with Christ like
this:
“I
have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but
Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live
by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”
(Galatians
2.20)
Paul
wrote the Colossians about this identification and spoke of the
mysteries “secret of God”
“2 That
their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and
unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the
acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of
Christ;
3 In whom are
hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4 And
this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing
words.”(Colossians
2:2-4)
and
further down.......
10 “and
in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule
and authority;
11
in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without
hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of
Christ;
12 having
been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up
with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the
dead.
13 When
you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all
our transgressions,
14 having
canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against
us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way,
having nailed it to the cross.”(Colossians
2:10-14).
This
was the work of our Lord Jesus, to take away the penalty of
transgressing the law, as no one can keep the law perfectly, save our
Lord Jesus. But through His death, He nailed that death sentence to
His cross, as His blood washes us clean of all of our sins, past,
present and future.
THE
SECRET OF LAWLESSNESS
Paul
revealed the “secret of lawlessness” to the
Thessalonians:
3 “Let
no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the
son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth
and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye
not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye
know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the
mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will
let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall
that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit
of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him,
whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs
and lying wonders,
10 And with all
deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this
cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a
lie:
12 That
they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure
in unrighteousness.” (2
Thessalonians 2.3-12).
This
messages reveals the “secrets” the mysteries of the love of God
toward us, but this last subject deals with what we are experiencing
right now in this lawlessness that has so filled our land, our
courts, our halls of justice, and invading every home that does not
profess Jesus Christ as Savior. The
personification of this “secret” is the “lawless one”,
(ἄνομος) the one who will be empowered by Satan, the
Antichrist. John wrote about this individual in Revelation as did
Daniel yet much is unknown about how he will come to power and
operate. Therefore, a secret. What Paul revealed was what restrains
(κατέχω) or holds back this individual.
In verse 7
of the above passage, Paul reveals that there is a power that
prevents the full onslaught of lawlessness and the revealing of the
Anti-Christ. This power is believed by many, including myself, that
this is the work of God's Holy Spirit that is residing in every born
again believer's heart and will not be revealed (the Anti-Christ)
until the Holy Spirit is removed back to pre-Pentecostal times of the
fullness received. Since God said that He would never leave or
forsake us and would be with us, till the end of the age, then we who
have God's Holy Spirit within our spirits as a deposit of a future
glorification, then when God's Holy Spirit is drawn back, so will the
Church of every born again believer. The Holy Spirit will still be at
work, as the scriptures surely show, but the restraint will be
removed and Satan and his minions working through mankind in
rebellion led by this Son of Destruction, the Anti-Christ will have
full power to overcome all who remain on this earth and cause those
who live to take a mark of loyalty and a sign of worship into their
forehead and their right hand or be subject to martyrdom.
Remember
in Part 1 of this message, I emphasized that the monster called the
Anti-Christ will not be revealed until the church “is caught up”
to heaven. As I mentioned, one of Paul’s purposes for writing the
Thessalonians was to correct a claim from a purported letter from him
that they were experiencing the Day of the Lord since they were being
persecuted. Paul wrote to assure them this was not the case. He
declared that before that can occur the body of Christ must be
removed. When that occurs God’s retraining power will be removed
and Satan will be free to bring his man to power. Many will die, or
take a mark that will damn them to a devil's hell.
WHAT
WILL YOU DO WITH THE SECRETS SPOKEN OF?
When
we started looking at these “secrets” given to Paul, we spoke
that these revelations were given to Paul when translated into the
third heaven and heard with his ear and saw with his own eyes, what
God had prepared for those who love Him. These truths were given to
Paul to be given to the churches in Asia and to us, the end time
Church, to which the scriptures were written primarily for.
Paul
referred to these revelations as “secrets” for God had revealed
none of these things to the prophets. Jesus had not revealed these
truths in His earthly ministry or to the Twelve Apostles. From Paul
alone do we learn the truths of Christianity: about Christ’s work
of our salvation, our sanctification, our rescue from a
Christ-rejecting world, and our destiny.
My reader, I
have witnessed to you the Mysteries or “secrets” of God in two
parts that were revealed by revelation through God Almighty, our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ, to Paul the Apostle who started the Church
of the Gentiles....of which you and I belong to in some fashion, or
maybe you don't embrace anything of a religion, as men have given
religion a bad name. There I have to agree with you. Our God is not
about man's attempt at religion, but wants a relationship with those
who are His. Religion is man's attempt to get to God, and Jesus is
God's attempt to reach mankind.
As men
have perverted the Gospel, the perfect Word of God for their own
power and glory. In the end, to them it's all about money. But all
human beings that have a computer, or social media know about the
most famous person who ever lived, Jesus Christ. Even YOU!
But
make no mistake about one thing, even though men have perverted the
Gospel and you have bought into their lawlessness and careless
handling of the things of God, when it comes down to everything being
revealed, the only thing that will stand undefiled and forever Holy,
is God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
DECISION
TIME!
The
road to hell is paved with people, men and women who look to other
fallible men and women as their example, and when they fail, as they
always do, then they reject Christianity because of these “religious”
teachers. There is only One clear example that anyone should follow.
Jesus is our example and it is Jesus who died for your sins, no one
else.
When you were born, you were born for one reason
and one reason only: “What will you do or not do when it comes to
the Man/God known as Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God??”
There stands Jesus with His arms outstretched beckoning for you to
come to Him. He knocks at each of our heart's door asking to be given
entrance into your life. What will your answer be?
“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.
17 God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him, might be saved.
18 He that
believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God.
19 And
this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men
loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one
that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest
his deeds should be reproved.
21 But
he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
(John 3:16-21)
“Jesus answered, "I am the way and
the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me.” (John 14:6)
“For all have sinned and come short
of the glory of God” ( Romans 3:23)
I proclaim to you
without shame of the Gospel that Jesus Christ is Lord, and Savior of
a man or woman's soul. I preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified, that
lived, died, and rose again on the third day and lives
forevermore...and is coming again...SOON. Today is the day of
salvation, for you are not promised tomorrow. Do not neglect so great
a salvation, as when Jesus does finally come back and you have not
made that decision for Christ, then be in fear, my friend. Be in
great fear.
“25 See to it that you do not refuse Him
who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him
who warned them on
earth, much less will we escape who
turn away from Him who warns from
heaven.
26And
His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “YET
ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO
THE HEAVEN.” (my emphasis)
27This expression, “Yet
once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be
shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be
shaken may remain.
28Therefore,
since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show
gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with
reverence and awe;
29for
our God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:25-29)
Are
you waiting for God's redemption of your soul, or are you blinded and
waiting for His righteous wrath? Don't let this opportunity pass you
by..Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
save...BEHOLD, I have told you secrets from the apostle Paul and
God's Holy Spirit. Believe these secrets for the salvation of your
