Go to link above for today's message!
Greetings Truth Seekers! I love you! But, Jesus, our Savior a.k.a. LORD a.k.a. Psalm 23 Shepherd and 1 Peter 2:5 Bishop over our souls loves you more! This is the day that The LORD has made and despite all that is going on that is contrary to the way of The Truth, we will still honor LORD Jesus in our thoughts, with the fruit of our lips, and our actions, in accordance with His word, will, and way for our lives! Our key foundational passages of Scripture are Isaiah 55:6-7(NLT), “...Seek The LORD while you can find Him. Call on Him now while He is near. Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to The LORD that He may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our GOD, for He will forgive generously.”
Once again it is a privilege and an honor of The LORD to share with you the word of Truth that will fulfill what He has charged, ordained, anointed, and sent me to do, and minister. According to Acts 26:18, LORD Jesus said, “...open their eyes, in order to turn them from Darkness to Light, and from the power of Satan to GOD, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”
At our last gathering, 3.27.2022, we covered the message entitled “JESUS IS LORD” (Part 2) with the Subtopic: ‘Savior, Messiah, I AM THAT I AM’. If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/jesus-is-lord-part-2/
Dear truth seeker, today, April 3, 2022, in the words of Steven Haworth Miller, the writer of the song ‘FLY LIKE AN EAGLE’, “…time keeps on slipping into the future…” And yes, as time keeps on slipping into the future, there is a solution, through the revolution, into the future. What is a solution, through the revolution, into the future? It is to learn how to metaphorically fly like an eagle and be on top of things rather than get caught in the whirlwind and be consumed by it.
However, in order to fly like an eagle, one must know (1) What an eagle is, and (2) how an eagle mounts its wings to fly. According to a Guest post by researcher Adam Duerr @ https://americanornithology.org/fly-like-an-eagle, “…These large birds move through the landscape primarily by soaring—a style of flying where they hold their wings outward and rarely flap, saving them considerable energy. Instead of flapping, they rely on rising air currents to gain altitude.”
In addition to eagles being large birds that rely on rising air currents to gain altitude to fly and soar, GOOGLE reveals @ https://www.google.com/search?q=can+an+eagle+fly+above+a+storm, “…The eagle is the only bird that will fly above the storm clouds to avoid the rain. This means that eagles can fly at an altitude of 10,000 feet above sea level.” With that being stated, it is also good to know by what means of method does an eagle soar above the storm clouds to avoid the rain? According to Birdwatchingbuzz @ https://birdwatchingbuzz.com/how-high-do-eagles-fly/, “…Eagles use rising air currents to soar high up in the skies. Depending on the species of eagle, they can reach a height of between 10,000 and 20,000 feet above sea level. From this vantage point, their keen eyesight allows them to scout for prey far below. Eagles can also fly at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. However, their average flying speed is around 35 to 40 miles per hour. Because eagles soar on wind currents rather than flapping their wings, they can fly for many hours without using up too much energy. When they spot prey on the ground below, they can dive down at a speed of 75 to 100 miles per hour to grab their bounty with their sharp talons.”
Now, in conjunction with merely scratching the surface about learning about how eagles are able to fly above the storms in life, from a biblical point of view, the Word of GOD metaphorically declares that those of us who serve The LORD can also be likened unto having the ability to figuratively mount up with wings like an eagle. But its stipulation of one having the ability to do so is based upon those of us who choose to keep our faith and trust in the faithfulness of GOD on our behalf, no matter how fiery the tests and trials weigh heavily upon our faith. Scripture reveals that the patterns of GOD’S ways, which are the same yesterday, today and forevermore, toward Jacob, the patriarch of the Nation of Israel, and His beloved Nation’s descendants, transcends time, even unto Gentiles, especially those who are born from above. GOD’S loving kindness, mercy, and faithfulness toward Jew and Gentile, has been extended to the World via the finished works of Christ Jesus’ sinless life, and His Blood. Because of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, the heritage of promises that were once restricted are now offered to whomsoever will believe. Yes, Gentiles are engrafted as heirs of the promises of GOD. And this inclusion of GOD’S mercy and Grace toward the Gentiles, in this Age of Grace, is time censored. Yes, the Age of Grace is coming to an end, sooner than most realize. It is written according to Isaiah 40:27-31, Galatians 3:26-29, and Romans 11:11-32:
Isaiah 40:27-31(MSG) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+40&version=KJV;NKJ, “…Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, “GOD has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”? Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? GOD doesn’t come and go. GOD lasts. He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch His breath. And He knows everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon GOD get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.”
Galatians 3:26-29(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+3%3A26-29&version=KJV;NKJV, “…For you are all sons of GOD through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Romans 11:11-32(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+11&version=KJV;NKJV reveals that Apostle Paul declared, pertaining to the patriarch Jacob’s Nation of Israel, the original heirs according to the promises of YHWH GOD, “…I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches for the World, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the World, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit is Holy, the lump is also Holy; and if the root is Holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of The Root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support The Root, but The Root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if GOD did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of GOD: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for GOD is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” Concerning the Gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning The Election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of GOD are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to GOD, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. For GOD has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.”
Dear truth seeker, when Apostle Paul declared in Romans 11:26-27 that it had been prophesied that “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins,” truth is, the Deliverer has come. His name is Jesus a.k.a. Yeshua. It is written according to Matthew 1:18-21:
Matthew 1:18-21(NKJV), “…Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with Child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of The LORD appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Yes, according to Matthew 1:18-21, the Romans 11:26-27 Deliverer did come as a Deliverer of Salvation to Jacob’s Nation of Israel, but John 1:11(NKJV), reveals that “…Jesus came to His own, and His own did not receive Him…” And it was predetermined for them not to receive Jesus. Truth is that it was predetermined in the counsels of Heaven for the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the Earth was formed and set into motion. For had the Jews receives Jesus as their Delivering Savior, the Gentiles would have never had the chance to be saved. Romans 11:32 declares it:
Romans 11:32(NKJV), “For GOD has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.” Their unbelief gave way to Jesus being able to righteously command His disciples, according to Matthew 28:19-20:
Matthew 28:19-20(KJV), “…Go therefore and make disciples of all the Nations, baptizing them in the name of The FATHER and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of The Age.”
Through the Divine predetermined counsel of Heaven, the Nation of Israel’s unbelief and unacceptance of their Savior, Jesus the Messiah, the entire World has been given the privilege to wholeheartedly receive Jesus as Savior and LORD.
Which is one of the reasons why Apostle Paul warned against anyone believing in the Replacement Theology. It is written according to Romans 11:25(NKJV), “…For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.”
Now let us conclude our introduction and get into the gist of today’s message titled “JESUS IS LORD (Part 3)” with the subtitle ‘Savior, Messiah, I AM THAT I AM’.
As we go forward into the word of The LORD, for the sake of providing an overall understanding of what is being presented, I realize that wisdom is to first define the key words, phrases, and referenced names that are stated in the title and subtopic’s title. The purpose for doing so is because defining the “key” words, phrases, and referenced names that are stated in the title and subtopic’s title, assists in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its initial meaning. Also, in doing so, it will inspire one, as the Holy Spirit guides, with the ability to interpret, translate and cognizantly determine how to make application of its wisdom, which in turn inspires one’s desire to become more and more reflective of becoming and being likened to a Philippians 3:20 Kingdom citizen in mindset, attitude, and lifestyle.
Last week, 3.27.2022, we covered defining the title “LORD” and what it meant to wholeheartedly submit to the Lordship of JESUS. Today we will expound upon Jesus’ title “Savior”. In doing so, we will have a clearer understanding of how we can honor Him as the Savior of our lives. Get your Bible and/or your Bible app and let’s be like the Acts 17:11 Bereans, and with the help of enlightenment from the Holy Ghost, search Scripture for ourselves to read, study and consume these truths pertaining to who The Savior a.k.a. Deliverer is.
Key title termed SAVIOR/SAVIOUR:
Key title termed definition of SAVIOR/SAVIOUR, according to International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=IT0007680, “(1) While that "God is the deliverer of his people" is the concept on which, virtually, the whole Old Testament is based (see SALVATION), yet the Hebrews seem never to have felt the need of a title for God that would sum up this aspect of His relation to man. Nearest to our word "Saviour" is a participial form (moshia‘) from the verb yasha‘ (Qal not used; "save" in Hiphil), but even this participle is not frequently applied to God (some 13 times of which 7 are in Isa 43:1-63:19).
Key title termed definition of SAVIOR/SAVIOUR, according to Easton's Bible Dictionary @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=ET0003231, “…one who saves from any form or degree of evil. In its highest sense the word indicates the relation sustained by our LORD to His redeemed ones, He is their Saviour. The great message of the Gospel is about salvation and the Saviour. It is the "Gospel of Salvation." Faith in The LORD Jesus Christ secures to the sinner a personal interest in the Work of Redemption. Salvation is redemption made effectual to the individual by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Key title termed definition of SAVIOR/SAVIOUR, according to Luke 2:8-11(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+2&version=KJV;NKJV, “…Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of The LORD stood before them, and the glory of The LORD shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ The LORD…’”
Key title termed DELIVERER:
Key title termed definition of DELIVERER, according to Blue Letter Bible @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rom/11/26/s_1057026, Romans 11:26(KJV), “…And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob…”
Now that we have a basic understanding and Scripture based wisdom about the descriptive definitions of the “key” termed titles of Jesus as SAVIOR/SAVIOUR and DELIVERER, within the relevance of today’s message, let’s now consume the Word of GOD that has been presented for the equipping and edification of Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and those who are being drawn into The Kingdom of GOD through His Holy Spirit. We will begin by revealing, based on the truth of the word of GOD, the keys of Scripture that reveals the heart of The Savior who desires that none will be lost but will come into the saving knowledge of Him as The Deliverer of all who are Eternally lost. It is written according to Romans 10:1-21:
Romans 10:1-21(NLT), “Dear Brothers and Sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to GOD is for the people of Israel to be saved. I know what enthusiasm they have for GOD, but it is misdirected zeal. For they don’t understand GOD’S way of making people right with Himself. Refusing to accept GOD’S way, they cling to their own way of getting right with GOD by trying to keep the law. For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in Him are made right with GOD. For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with GOD requires obedience to all of its commands. But faith’s way of getting right with GOD says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to Heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to Earth). And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to Life again).” In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you openly declare that Jesus is LORD and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with GOD, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in Him will never be disgraced.” Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same LORD, who gives generously to all who call on Him. For “Everyone who calls on the name of The LORD will be saved.” But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of Messengers who bring Good News!” But not everyone welcomes the Good News, for Isaiah the prophet said, “LORD, who has believed our message?” So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. But I ask, have the people of Israel actually heard the message? Yes, they have: “The message has gone throughout the Earth, and the words to all the World.” But I ask, did the people of Israel really understand? Yes, they did, for even in the time of Moses, GOD said, “I will rouse your jealousy through people who are not even a Nation. I will provoke your anger through the foolish Gentiles.” And later Isaiah spoke boldly for GOD, saying, “I was found by people who were not looking for Me. I showed Myself to those who were not asking for Me.” But regarding Israel, GOD said, “All day long I opened My arms to them, but they were disobedient and rebellious.”
Amen.
I hope today’s message will bless, edify, build, strengthen, and equip you to have a deeper well of greater understanding to draw from, pertaining to who Jesus is as Savior and Deliverer. Now, let us close according to the wisdom and revelation knowledge of LORD Jesus as our Savior, for He was sent from Heaven’s glory, by GOD The Heavenly FATHER, to become the Lamb of GOD also known as the Savior of the World. It is written according to John 3:16-17:
John 3:16-17(KJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+3&version=KJV;NLT, LORD Jesus revealed to Nicodemus, “…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. For GOD sent not His Son into the World to condemn the World; but that the World through Him might be saved.”
Amen to ABBA FATHER’S Holy Word, in Jesus’ name! Matthew 11:27
It has been an honorable privilege to, by the Power and Authority of The Holy Spirit of The LORD of Hosts, to cover today’s Living Word of Truth message titled “JESUS IS LORD” (Part 3) with the Subtopic: ‘Savior, Messiah, I AM THAT I AM’ with you! Let us go forth, filled with the knowledge of GOD’S will, in all wisdom and Spiritual/spiritual understanding; that we may walk worthily of the call of The LORD on our lives, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of GOD; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious Power, enduring long sufferings with patience, and joy. Let us also continually give thanks to our Heavenly FATHER who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of all His Saints who are of The Light. And most of all, we thank Him for the will, mindset, skill, and wherewithal abilities, to wholeheartedly believe Him at His word and obey it!
To all "Living Word of Truth" Truth Seekers, if The LORD says the same, we will resume next Sunday, 4.10.2022, from Heaven’s Throne of GOD The FATHER, GOD The Word, and GOD The Holy Ghost!
Let us pray. “Heavenly FATHER let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on Earth as You have predetermined it to be so in Heaven. Be glorified like never before. Thank You for endowing us with Your love, joy, peace, favor, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, wise counsel, might, reverential fear of You, health, wealth, true riches, Spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear, and heart to obey You. Thank You for Your Psalm 91:11/2 Kings 6:17 angel armies standing guard night and day in our midst. Thank You for empowering us to speak Your word as You inspire us to do so, and it manifests accordingly. Thank You for covering us with Your sinless Blood, and continually delivering us, and keeping us safe from the wiles and plans of the Evil One, and all who work on his behalf. For Thine is The Kingdom, All Power, and All Glory. Amen”
