God is Kind

IT WAS THE kindness of God that rehab got when she trusted him in the time she let the spy's in and worked with them. God acts toward us in kindness. In rom I saw the reason is God wants us to see that he wants us to come to Jesus and repent so we can spend our time showing the way. If Jesus has woke you out of bed and let you live he is being extra kind to you. If U have a meal today God is giving that to you and if you have money your in kindness of God. So if you have Gods kindness you need to repent AND give him your life

God selects the leaders of the land. Daniel 2

OBAMA

Dear Mr Obama, you once again haver offened me and all bible loving Christians. U have made homosexuals protected and told me I have to respect them. Jesus said there is no other way to heaven but by his death. Homos do not get to live in the way of Jesus because they offend the Lord and me. U signed a order to protect them and by that you sr show two things. One you are not close to being christian and 2 you do not read or respect the bible.

To me you need to resign and get out of this land. I know you do nothing for my land when you are letting the USSR take over lands, your letting people in to this land that do not belong here and you will not stop making the debt grow and your ruining my land. Ur vactions are not right and your making things up to bypass the laws of the land. Obama you frankly are the worst president we have ever had and you hope are fired.

Be a member of local church

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” ⁴¹ Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. ⁴² And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. ⁴³ Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. ⁴⁴ Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, ⁴⁵ and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

⁴⁶ So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, ⁴⁷ praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.¹

I love this passage because it is the best one teaching about the local Church. Jesus started this and it is his Idea so we need to learn about this so we can be in a local church. They got convertedc and were baptized and then they were added to the church. I think it is important for the local church to have this in common and that we need to have a membership. Note that people were saved, they came to the personal knowledge of Jesus and a personal relationship. The person comes to the fact they are a sinner who broke Gods laws then they saw Jesus died for them. Jesus died so we need to repent and embrace the death of Jesus for the forgiveness of sin. Jesus comes into the life and one is saved. He asked us to be baptized and then added to a LOCAL place for your growth and faith. You commit to a body that commits to you. In the local church you submit to the leadership and you serve the body with your gifting.

In the church we help the needs of the members. We in our church have a fund we collect that goes to the needs of the body. We collect money to fund the things like what the poor need. In the church the family breaks bread and we do that on the first Sunday remembering the death of Jesus and what that means to each of us. We are to eat together and we are to know each other.

1 The New King James Version. (1982). (Ac 2:40–47). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

1. It’s biblical. Jesus established the local church and all the apostles did their ministry through it. The Christian life in the New Testament is church life. Christians today should expect and desire the same.
2. The church is its members. To be a church in the New Testament is to be one of its members (read through Acts). And you want to be part of the church because that’s who Jesus came to rescue and reconcile to himself.
3. It’s a prerequisite for the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is a meal for the gathered church, that is, for members (see 1 Cor. 11:20-33). And you want to take the Lord’s Supper. It’s the team flag that makes the church team visible to the nations.
4. It’s how you officially represent Jesus. Membership is the church’s affirmation that you are a citizen of Christ’s kingdom and therefore a pass-port carrying Jesus representative before the nations. And you want your representation to be authorized. Closely related to this…
5. It’s how you declare your highest allegiance. Your membership on the team, which becomes visible when you wave the flag of the Lord’s Supper, is a public testimony belongs to Jesus. Trials and persecution may come, but your only words are, “I am a Christian.”
6. It’s how you embody and experience biblical images. It’s within the accountability structures of the local church that Christians live and experience the interconnectivity of the body, the spiritual fullness of his temple, and the safety and intimacy and shared identity of his family.
7. It’s how you serve other Christians. Membership helps you know which Christians on planet Earth you are specifically responsible to love, serve, warn, and encourage. It enables you to fulfill your biblical responsibilities to Christ’s body (for example, see Eph. 4:11-16; 25-32).
8. It’s how you follow Christian leaders. Membership helps you know which Christian leaders on planet Earth you are called to obey and follow. Again, it allows you to fulfill your biblical responsibility to them (see Heb. 13:7, 17).
9. It helps Christian leaders lead. Membership lets Christian leaders know which Christians on planet Earth they will “give an account” for (Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2).
10. It enables church discipline. It gives you the biblically prescribed place to participate in the work of church discipline responsibly, wisely, and lovingly (1 Cor. 5).
11. It gives structure to your Christian life. It places an individual Christian’s claim to obey and follow Jesus into a real-life setting where authority is actually exercised over us (see John 14:15; 1 John 2:19; 4:20-21). It’s God’s discipling program. 
12. It builds a witness and invites the nations. Membership puts the alternative rule of Christ on display for the watching universe (see Matt. 5:11; John 12:34-35; Eph. 3:10; 1 Pet. 2:9-12). The very boundaries, which are drawn around the membership of a church, yield a society of people that invites the nations to something better. It’s God’s evangelism program.

REPENT

³⁸And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit

Here is the good news in one verse. But I want to look at a few things and the first one is repent. To repent it important to get forgiven and saved by Jesus. Repent is to changev your mine about so,ething. It is to go another way. To change your mind about the Lord. We are going to one way then we change and go another way. This is a IMPORTANT thing because without your sins forgiven you do not get in and the bible said you got to repent. So TO BE IN LINE WITH JESUS YOU MUST do this. So we given repent to be forgiven.

We are to be baptized. No this is not dunked but it is. Repent then you need to be dunked. If you were a baby and you got baptized I think you need to get dunked after you took Jesus and repented of your sin. It is not to forgiven but it is a part of the process of obeing Jesus. Have you repented then get to your local church and be baptized. Local church is a place you do this and if your church does not dunk find one that does.

. ³⁹For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” ⁴⁰And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” ⁴¹So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

sermon of peter acts

4 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams
8 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’[b]
When the bible says last days it means anytime after the cross. So Peter is going to preach the truth in the first sermon ever preached. Note that the Spirit is going to come to all flesh. This is a new thing. In the old the Spirit does not come to all flesh and God is not dwelling with all the people but there was a certain few that got to go before God in the temple. If the common person wanted to know God they went to the priest who went before God one time a year. But after the cross the gift of God is the Spirit and the fact that now God no longer is just for a few Jesus died and anyone who wills is able to come to God. Last time I thought that this Spirtirt thing is brand new so the things the people are seeing. Some of this is filled then and some is not going to be until the time when Jesus is back on earth. We see lots of signs and wonders. I think this is for a brief time on the day when the 12 are there then the bible is what we share to bring people to the truth.
Point one the Lord is into a new time.



i22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— 23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken[c] by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:
‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’[d]
Peter is giving the truth to the Jews who killed this Man Jesus. They did not do this on their own because Jesus gave his life for us. Peter is drawing the Jews to Jesus and giving them the chance to get saved. He used Psalms 16 as a text. In this text he said For you will not leave me in Hades (means the place of the dead) but bring me to the right hand in Joy. Jesus is here dead but he is going to raise Jesus from the dead. Peter said below.



29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,[e] 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

acts 2 the Spirit is making us rich

¹When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all ^£with one accord in one place. ²And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. ⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance ⁵And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. ⁶And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. ⁷Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? ⁸And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? ⁹Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, ¹¹Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” ¹²So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

The Spirit came and gave the followers of Jesus different languages such as french or other greek. He did not come and give them some that people could not understand. This is a gift that spread the gospel of Jesus faster in one place and got the people into the church from all over. It is a major feast when this is happening and the people are in form all over the known world. In some missions movements people thought they could go to a land that they did not know the languages and they fell flat on their face. If your going to go know the talk to share Jesus. Many think I ought to go over the false things of touges here but I do not see that point here. I see the point as it is used to prove this is the words of God and truth given to many people in a land that can then go home and share the truth.

Note they were filled with the Spirit. Being filled with the Spirit is a refreshing thing and comforts and seals. Here are some things He does in us.

He is the part of God that fills or indwells us

He is the one who calls us to the work of God or places gifting for the things that we are to do in the church

He is the one that shows us the truth when we read the bible.

He is the one that givesv us power to serve Jesus in his church

He is the one who fills us

He is the one who Guards our salvation and He is the deposit that Guarantees salvation

He guards us for God

He helps us live for Jesus

He indwells us. Yes God lives in us

He prays for us with such intensity and God hears him. WOW HE KNOWS HOW TO PRAY FOR US more that what we do. If he knows us as he lives in us no better person to pray and intseed for us.

HE IS the one who produces the fruit in us. We do not act in faith and if we do it is all of God. God produces fruit

He is the one that convicts us of our sin. We are to confess it and stop under his power.

He is the one that makes us holy before God. Its not a behavor its being filled up in the spirit that makes us right before the Lord.

He is the one who teachs the bible. This very thing I am writing is only going to teach if the Spirit wants it or uses it to.

And the 120 r the first ones to get all this and more.

acts 1 part tow

¹²Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. ¹³And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. ¹⁴These all continued with one accord in prayer ^£and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

They all prayed. Note the followers of Jesus prayed together in the first part of the time of the church. In the body we need to learn to pray together and pray outloud as the body of Jesus. They prayed asking for things on behalf of others. God wants us to ask him to give us all we need and also go before him on behalf of others. Also look at who was there man and woman, it is a good thing to pray in the church as a family of the Lord as sisters and brothers.

This is the last time Mary the mom of Jesus is ever in the bible. I do not see anywhere when we go to Mary for anything. Some Catholic got this wrong in thinking that we need anyone but Jesus for reaching the Lord God. Mary is not the queen of heaven or a co redeemer. We follow Jesus to salvation and his work on the cross and not another.

¹⁵And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the ^£disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, ¹⁶“Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; ¹⁷for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”

Judas was not a follower of Jesus he was a fraud. He did not see the truth in Jesus and Judas was in it for one thing the cash payout. Judas never put his faith in Jesus.

¹⁸(Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. ¹⁹And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

²⁰“For it is written in the Book of Psalms:

    ‘Let his dwelling place be desolate,

    And let no one live in it’;^£

and,

    ‘Let another take his ^£office.’^£

²¹“Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, ²²beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

To be a apostle you had to been with Jesus for the time he was working to share his message and seen Jesus alive after he died. So now there is no long the office because there is no longer the need. With out apostles there are no longer the need for the gifts they had because now the bible is the proof of God. We do not need gifts like healing or touges to show the Lord is true we have the bible. I think only in the time of the writing of the bible did God use them to prove the bible is the words of God.

²³And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen ²⁵to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” ²⁶And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

I am going off here maybe. Here is a way they and we ought to choose who leads the church? We let the ones in charge choose by the Spirit leading. I am not thinking a vote to confirm is not a bad thing but the Lord ought to appoint the leadership of His church. We do not have to cast lots cause now we have the Lord in the form of the Spirit.
