"Enlightening Mindsets...Transforming Lives...Redeeming Generations"
-Rosa Appling Banks
Welcome!
Thank you for being my special guest! It is an honor to serve you in this capacity.
The primary purpose of my Bible based content is to inspire and endow mindsets with wisdom, knowledge and understanding of GOD'S word, will and way, which will in turn, ultimately, root out, pull down, destroy, cast and throw down every opposing word that exalts itself against the knowledge of the Universally unusurpable, governing Truth of GOD'S Holy word, heart, will and way.
The songs shared are written with lyrics that are also Supernaturally endowed with faith-filled words of exhortation and messages that will minister the Good News of The Gospel of The Kingdom of Jesus "The Christ" a.k.a. Yeshua "The Messiah" to the rich and the poor of all Nationalities. To heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our GOD.
The messages and songs will also comfort those who mourn in Zion, and give them beauty for ashes, the Oil of Joy for mourning, the garment of praise to dispel and cast away the spirit of heaviness so that they will inevitably be called the Trees of Righteousness, which are also known as the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified globally.
Please feel free to download any message and/or song you desire and share them all.
Lastly, thank you for spending your precious time reading, listening, and being blessed with all that The LORD has given me to share with you!
With love, Rosa Appling-Banks, Acts 26:18 https://rosabanks.com/index.html

Today's message is entitled: “UNSHAKEABLE KINGDOM”
Subtopic: ‘Committed to the Process’
By: Rosa Appling-Banks
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, 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, 2.13.2022, we covered the message entitled “BRIDE OF CHRIST’S BLESSED HOPE” (Part 3).” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/bride-of-christ-s-blessed-hope-part-3/
Now, for the sake of providing an overall understanding, as we proceed forward with today's message titled “UNSHAKEABLE KINGDOM” with the subtopic titled ‘Committed to the Process’, I realize that wisdom is to first define the key words of the title and subtopic’s title. The purpose for doing so is because defining the “key” words will assist in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its 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.
The Scripturally defined key words of the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message are COMMITTED, PROCESS, UNSHAKEABLE, KINGDOM:
Key word COMMITTED:
Key word definition of COMMITTED, according to cambridge.org @ https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/committed, “…loyal and willing to give your time and energy to something that you believe in:”
Key word PROCESS:
Key word definition of PROCESS, according to cambridge.org @ https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/process, “…a series of actions that you take in order to achieve a result…”
Key word UNSHAKEABLE:
Key word definition of UNSHAKEABLE, according to thefreedictionary.com @ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/unshakable, “…Adj. 1. unshakable - marked by firm determination or resolution unshakable - marked by firm determination or resolution; not shakable; "firm convictions"; "a firm mouth"; "steadfast resolve"; "a man of unbendable perseverence"; "unwavering loyalty"…”
Key word KINGDOM:
Definition and Scripture references of the key word KINGDOM, according to google.com @ https://www.google.com/search?q=gospel+of+the+kingdom, “…What was the Gospel of The Kingdom Jesus preached? The "Gospel of The Kingdom" was the message that Jesus taught all through His ministry. It was the message that God’s Kingdom will have an everlasting effect in mankind and the earth. Everything Jesus spoke about had a connection with the kingdom. Jesus is God's appointed king of the kingdom.”
Matthew 24:14(NKJV), “…And this Gospel of The Kingdom will be preached in all the World as a witness to all the Nations, and then the end will come.”
Hebrews 12:28-29(NKJV), “…Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve GOD acceptably with reverence and Godly fear. For our GOD is a consuming fire.”
Revelation 20:1-6(NKJV), “Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the Nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for The Word of GOD, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of GOD and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”
Revelation 21:1-4(NKJV), “Now I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth, for the first Heaven and the first Earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from GOD, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from Heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of GOD is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. GOD Himself will be with them and be their GOD. And GOD will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Now that we have a basic understanding and Scripture based wisdom about the definition of the “key” words of this message’s topic and subtopic titles, within their 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.
It has been recorded that The Kingdom of GOD is mentioned more than 80 times in the New Testament and that the teachings of Jesus Christ, for the most part, revolved around various parabolic teachings and illustrations of the Kingdom of GOD. However, although there are a multiplicity of perspectives and allegorical illustrations of the Kingdom of GOD referenced in Scripture, the gist of today’s message parallels best with the Book of Hebrews, the 12th chapter, verses 1 – 29. Its passages genuinely speaks to us about the historical experiences of the early Church, their law based boundaries between them and GOD, our present position in the grace of GOD because of the Blood of Jesus and His Salvation works, that has graced us with the ability to come boldly before the Throne of GOD, in all humility. However, although we have transitioned into the Age of Grace, we are not exempted from the expectations of being tested, and tried with chastening’s, and admonishments from our Heavenly FATHER. It is all part of the process of being received into the promised Kingdom also known as the Revelation 20:1-6 Messiah Millennium that the Betrothed Bride of Christ Jesus and our Messiah are patiently longing to experience the fulfillment of. The Chapter with the passages of Scripture being used to elaborate today’s message is based on the Hebrew writer’s summation that synoptically and intellectually summarizes the past, present, and expected future of those of us who walk by faith toward the unshakeable KINGDOM of GOD, according to Hebrews 12:1-29:
Hebrews 12:1-29(KJV), “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the Right Hand of The Throne of GOD. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of The LORD, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him: For whom The LORD loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth. If ye endure chastening, GOD dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto The FATHER of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of Righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of The Way; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see The LORD: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of GOD; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited The Blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. For ye are not come unto The Mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch The Mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) But ye are come unto Mount Sion, and unto The City of the living GOD, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and Church of The Firstborn, which are written in Heaven, and to GOD The Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on Earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him that speaketh from Heaven: Whose voice then shook the Earth: but now He hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the Earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a KINGDOM which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve GOD acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our GOD is a consuming fire.”
Now, as Holy Spirit led Children of GOD, let us close according to the wisdom, revelation knowledge, instruction, and blessing of LORD Jesus for it is written that at the end of this Age, which is the dispensation of Grace, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 reveals that we will live forevermore in the KINGDOM that the GOD of Heaven will set up for us! It is written according to Daniel 2:44-45, John 14:1-3:
Daniel 2:44-45(NKJV), “…And in the days of these kings the GOD of Heaven will set up a KINGDOM which shall never be destroyed; and The KINGDOM shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these Kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”
John 14:1-3(NKJV), Jesus promised, “Let not your heart be troubled; you 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 to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
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 “UNSHAKEABLE KINGDOM” with the Subtopic: ‘Committed to the Process’ 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, 2.27.2022, 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”

The Scripturally defined key words of the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message are BRIDE, CHRIST, BLESSED, HOPE, UNUSUPABLE, CHURCH:
Key word BRIDE:
Key word definition of BRIDE, according to Revelation 19:5-9 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19&version=KJV;NLT, “…And a voice came out of The Throne, saying, “Praise our GOD, all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia: for The LORD GOD omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the Marriage of The Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the Righteousness of Saints.” And he saith unto me, “Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the Marriage Supper of The Lamb.” And he saith unto me, “These are the true sayings of GOD.”
Key word CHRIST:
Key word definition of CHRIST, according to Ephesians 5:32 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/eph/5/32/s_1102032, “…This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and The Church…”
Key word definition of CHRIST, according to Ephesians 5:23 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/eph/5/23/s_1102023, “…For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is The Head of the Church: and He is the Saviour of the Body…”
Key word definition of CHRIST, according to Easton's Bible Dictionary @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=ET0000818,
Christ: anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Act 17:3; 18:5; Mat 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (Isa 61:1), and by Daniel (Dan 9:24-26), who styles him "Messiah the Prince." The Messiah is the same person as "the seed of the woman" (Gen 3:15), "the seed of Abraham" (Gen 22:18), the "Prophet like unto Moses" (Deu 18:15), "the priest after the order of Melchizedek" (Psa 110:4), "the rod out of the stem of Jesse" (Isa 11:1,10), the "Immanuel," the virgin's son (Isa 7:14), "the branch of Jehovah" (Isa 4:2), and "the messenger of the covenant" (Mal 3:1). This is he "of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write." The Old Testament Scripture is full of prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and accredited as the Saviour of men (Hbr 5:4; Isa 11:2-4; 49:6; Jhn 5:37; Act 2:22). To believe that "Jesus is the Christ" is to believe that he is the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1Cr 12:3; 1Jo 5:1).”
Key word definition of CHRIST, according to The Kingdom or Church of Christ: @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=CT0000056, Head. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 5:23).
Key word BLESSED:
Key word definition of BLESSED, according to Genesis 12:1-3 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+12&version=KJV;NLT, “Now The LORD had said unto Abram, “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great Nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the Earth be blessed…”
Key word definition of BLESSED, according to Galatians 3:8 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gal/3/8/s_1094008, “...And the Scripture, foreseeing that GOD would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abraham, saying, “In thee shall all Nations be blessed...”
Key word definition of BLESSED, according to John 20:29 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/jhn/20/29/s_1017029, “…Jesus saith unto him, “Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
Key word definition of BLESSED, according to Revelation 20:6 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/rev/20/6/t_conc_1187006, “…Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of GOD and of Christ and will reign with Him a thousand years.”
Key word HOPE:
Key word definition of HOPE, according to Hebrews 11:1 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+11&version=KJV;NLT, “…Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.…”
Key word UNUSURPABLE:
The root word of “unusurpable” is “usurp”. The definition of the root word “usurp” according to dictionary.com @ https://www.dictionary.com/browse/usurp: “…to seize and hold (a position, office, power, etc.) by force or without legal right: to use without authority or right; employ wrongfully…”
Now that we have a basic understanding of the definition of the root word “usurp”, we will now note that the word “usurp” has been compounded with the prefix “un” and suffix “able”.
Definition of the prefix “un”, according to ecenglish.com @ https://www.ecenglish.com/learnenglish/lessons/un-prefix: “Un is a prefix meaning “not”. It's used to give opposite and negative meanings to adjectives, adverbs and nouns…”
Definition of the suffix “able”, according to ecenglish.com @ https://www.ecenglish.com/learnenglish/lessons/when-use-able-and-ible, “...-able and -ible are both suffixes, groups of letters that are added to a word to change its meaning or use. When -able and -ible are added to words it generally means 'capable of being' e.g…”
Key word CHURCH:
Key word definition of CHURCH, according to Easton's Bible Dictionary @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=ET0000828, “…Church: Derived probably from the Greek kuriakon (i.e., "the Lord's house"), which was used by ancient authors for the place of worship. In the New Testament it is the translation of the Greek word ecclesia, which is synonymous with the Hebrew kahal of the Old Testament, both words meaning simply an assembly, the character of which can only be known from the connection in which the word is found. There is no clear instance of its being used for a place of meeting or of worship, although in post-apostolic times it early received this meaning. Nor is this word ever used to denote the inhabitants of a country united in the same profession, as when we say the "Church of England," the "Church of Scotland," etc. We find the word ecclesia used in the following senses in the New Testament: (1.) It is translated "assembly" in the ordinary classical sense (Act 19:32,39,41)…”
Key word definition of CHURCH, according to Condensed Biblical Cyclopedia @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=CT0000056,
The Kingdom or Church of Christ: Prophecies concerning it. Isaiah and Micah predicted that the law should go forth out of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:1-3; Micah 4:1-3);
Jeremiah predicted that the Lord would establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, that it should not be like unto the covenant that He made with their fathers when He brought them out of Egypt, that He would put His laws in their minds and write them in their hearts, that they would know the Lord and that their sins and iniquities should be remembered against them no more (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:7-13); and Daniel predicted that the God of heaven would set up a kingdom that should never be destroyed and that it should consume and break in pieces all other kingdoms, and stand forever (Daniel 2:44). Foundation. Isaiah predicted that a foundation stone should be laid in Zion (Isaiah 28:16), and that stone is Christ (Matthew 16:13-20; Romans 9:32-33; 1 Corinthians 3:10-11; Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 1:6-8). Head. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 5:23)…”
According to Easton's Bible Dictionary @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=ET0000828, “…The church invisible "consists of the whole number of the elect that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one under Christ, the head thereof." This is a pure society, the church in which Christ dwells. It is the body of Christ. it is called "invisible" because the greater part of those who constitute it are already in heaven or are yet unborn, and also because its members still on earth cannot certainly be distinguished. The qualifications of membership in it are internal and are hidden. It is unseen except by Him who "searches the heart." "The Lord knoweth them that are his" (2Ti 2:19). The church to which the attributes, prerogatives, and promises appertaining to Christ's kingdom belong, is a spiritual body consisting of all true believers, i.e., the church invisible.
(1.) Its unity. God has ever had only one church on earth. We sometimes speak of the Old Testament Church and of the New Testament church, but they are one and the same. The Old Testament church was not to be changed but enlarged (Isa 49:13-23; 60:1-14). When the Jews are at length restored, they will not enter a new church, but will be grafted again into "their own olive tree" (Rom 11:18-24; Eph 2:11-22). The apostles did not set up a new organization. Under their ministry disciples were "added" to the "church" already existing (Act 2:47).
(2.) Its universality. It is the "catholic" church; not confined to any particular country or outward organization, but comprehending all believers throughout the whole world.
(3.) Its perpetuity. It will continue through all ages to the end of the world. It can never be destroyed. It is an "everlasting kingdom."
Now that we have a basic Scripture based understanding about the definition of the “key” words of this message’s topic and subtopic titles, 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.
In today’s message, we will uncover, according to Scripture, 7 key power points that will clearly expose error filled misnomers that are responsible for giving empowerment to the spirits of Lucifer, Nimrod, Ahab, Absalom, Balaam, Jezebel, Athaliah, seduction, pride, rebellion, deceit, unforgiveness, greed, division, idolatry, hatred, murder, thievery, destruction, and the usurping of the Headship of Christ Jesus over His will for His Church a.k.a. Betrothed Bride. Which is why the spirits of the hierarchy of Satan and his kingdom of darkness, illegally infiltrate and wrecks havoc of every kind in the midst of The Church a.k.a. Betrothed Bride of Christ Jesus.
How can we be doubtlessly sure that we can overcome the wiles of the devil and his cohort of legions? We can be doubtlessly sure because of the unusurpable declaration that was sovereignly decreed as an instituted law into the Spiritual realm, by Christ Jesus a.k.a. Yeshua the Messiah, according to the Book of Matthew, chapter sixteen, verses thirteen through nineteen. The declaration is pertaining to the specification of the unusurpable authoritative Power of The Church a.k.a. Betrothed Bride of Christ Jesus. Since the day Christ Jesus Himself declared the decree, which was witnessed, believed on, and demonstratively acted upon by His original disciples, to the glory of GOD The FATHER, in Jesus’ name, that same Power has also transcended time and is our unusurpable portion of endowment as well.
The Church a.k.a. Betrothed Bride of Christ has overcoming power over all the illusion-based powers of Satan and his hierarchy of cohorts. The KING of kings has made sure of this truth by sovereignly decreeing, according to His word that the gates of hell shall not prevail against His Ecclesia a.k.a. Christ’s Body a.k.a. Betrothed Bride of Christ Jesus. His decree enables those who are members of His Church to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means will legally hurt us.
Now, as we come to the end of our introduction, we will, for a clear understanding, according to Scripture, allow the Spirit of Christ to reveal to us, the 7 key power points that will definitively expose error filled misnomers that are responsible for giving empowerment to the spirits of Lucifer, Nimrod, Ahab, Absalom, Balaam, Jezebel, Athaliah, seduction, pride, rebellion, deceit, unforgiveness, greed, division, idolatry, hatred, murder, thievery, destruction, and the usurping of the Headship of Christ Jesus over His will for His Church a.k.a. Betrothed Bride, etc., to successfully operate under the hierarchy of Satan and his kingdom of darkness, illegally against The Church a.k.a. Betrothed Bride of Christ Jesus. The following 7 key power points are questions with rightly divided, Scripture based answers:
(Question 1 of 7).
“What Sovereign officially declared, established and set the instituted Church into motion?”
(Answer to Question 1 of 7): JESUS/YESHUA. Contextually, it is written according to Matthew 16:13-19, “…When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living GOD.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My FATHER who is in Heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of The Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in Heaven.” Matthew 16:13-19(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+16&version=KJV;NKJV
Now that we, according to Scripture, realize and understand, that Jesus a.k.a. Yeshua officially established and set the instituted Church in motion, based on that which Matthew 16:13-19 states, let us now go on to our next Question/Answer segment:
(Question 2 of 7): “What Sovereign officially empowered the instituted Church that was founded by Christ Jesus, to function in Christ’s unusurpable might and Power, globally, in the Earth realm, according to the Word, Will and Way of the Heavenly FATHER, in Jesus’ name.
(Answer to Question 2 of 7): HOLY GHOST. Contextually, it is written according to Acts 1:4-8 and Acts 2:1-21:
Acts 1:4-8(KJV), “…And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of The FATHER, which, saith He, “ye have heard of Me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.” When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, LORD, “wilt Thou at this time restore again the Kingdom to Israel?” And He said unto them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which The FATHER hath put in His own Power. But ye shall receive Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the Earth.”
Acts 2:1-21(KJV), “…And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every Nation under Heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, “Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of GOD.” And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, “What meaneth this? Others mocking said, “These men are full of new wine.” But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, “Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days”, saith GOD, “I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in Heaven above, and signs in the Earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of The LORD come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of The LORD shall be saved.”
Now that we, according to Scripture, realize and understand, that Holy Ghost is the Sovereign who officially empowered the instituted Church that was founded by Christ Jesus, to function in Christ’s unusurpable might and Power, globally, in the Earth realm, according to the Word, Will and Way of the Heavenly FATHER, in Jesus’ name, we will look forward to covering questions 3-7 during our next segment of BRIDE OF CHRIST’S BLESSED HOPE (Part 3), 2.13.2022.
As Holy Spirit led Children of GOD, let us close according to the wisdom, revelation knowledge, instruction and blessing of LORD Jesus according to Revelation 3:14-22 and Acts 5:27-42:
“…And to the Angel of the Church of the Laodiceans write, “These things says The Amen, The Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of GOD: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My Throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My FATHER on His Throne. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.”
“…And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!” But Peter and the other Apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey GOD rather than men. The GOD of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. Him GOD has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom GOD has given to those who obey Him.” When they heard this, they were furious and plotted to kill them. Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the Apostles outside for a little while. And he said to them: “Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men. For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing. After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed. And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; but if it is of GOD, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found to fight against GOD.” And they agreed with him, and when they had called for the Apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as The Christ.”
Amen to ABBA FATHER’S Holy Word, in Jesus’ name! Matthew 11:27

Today's message is entitled: “BRIDE OF CHRIST’S BLESSED HOPE” (Part 1)
Subtopic: ‘Trumpet Of GOD’
By: Rosa Appling-Banks
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, 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, 1.23.2022, we covered the message entitled " SALVATION’S CONDITIONALIZED INCLUSION.” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/salvation-s-conditionalized-inclusion/
For the sake of providing an overall understanding, as we proceed forward with today's message entitled “BRIDE OF CHRIST’S BLESSED HOPE” (Part 1) with the subtopic titled ‘Trumpet Of GOD’, I realize that wisdom is to first define the key words of the title and subtopic’s title. The purpose for doing so is because defining the “key” words will assist in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its 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.
The Scripturally defined key words of the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message are BRIDE, CHRIST, BLESSED, HOPE, TRUMPET, GOD:
Key word BRIDE:
Key word definition of BRIDE, according to Revelation 19:5-9 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+19&version=KJV;NLT, “…And a voice came out of The Throne, saying, “Praise our GOD, all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia: for The LORD GOD omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the Marriage of The Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the Righteousness of Saints.” And he saith unto me, “Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the Marriage Supper of The Lamb.” And he saith unto me, “These are the true sayings of GOD.”
Key word CHRIST:
Key word definition of CHRIST, according to Ephesians 5:32 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/eph/5/32/s_1102032, “…This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and The Church…”
Key word CHRIST:
Key word definition of CHRIST, according to Ephesians 5:23 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/eph/5/23/s_1102023, “…For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is The Head of the Church: and He is the Saviour of the Body…”
Key word CHRIST:
Key word definition of CHRIST, according to Easton's Bible Dictionary @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=ET0000818,
Christ: anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Act 17:3; 18:5; Mat 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (Isa 61:1), and by Daniel (Dan 9:24-26), who styles him "Messiah the Prince." The Messiah is the same person as "the seed of the woman" (Gen 3:15), "the seed of Abraham" (Gen 22:18), the "Prophet like unto Moses" (Deu 18:15), "the priest after the order of Melchizedek" (Psa 110:4), "the rod out of the stem of Jesse" (Isa 11:1,10), the "Immanuel," the virgin's son (Isa 7:14), "the branch of Jehovah" (Isa 4:2), and "the messenger of the covenant" (Mal 3:1). This is he "of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write." The Old Testament Scripture is full of prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and accredited as the Saviour of men (Hbr 5:4; Isa 11:2-4; 49:6; Jhn 5:37; Act 2:22). To believe that "Jesus is the Christ" is to believe that he is the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1Cr 12:3; 1Jo 5:1).”
Key word CHRIST:
Key word definition of CHRIST, according to The Kingdom or Church of Christ: @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=CT0000056, Head. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 5:23).
Key word BLESSED:
Key word definition of BLESSED, according to Genesis 12:1-3 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+12&version=KJV;NLT, “Now The LORD had said unto Abram, “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great Nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the Earth be blessed…”
Key word definition of BLESSED, according to Galatians 3:8 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gal/3/8/s_1094008, “...And the Scripture, foreseeing that GOD would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abraham, saying, “In thee shall all Nations be blessed...”
Key word definition of BLESSED, according to John 20:29 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/jhn/20/29/s_1017029, “…Jesus saith unto him, “Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
Key word definition of BLESSED, according to Revelation 20:6 @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/rev/20/6/t_conc_1187006, “…Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of GOD and of Christ and will reign with Him a thousand years.”
Key word HOPE:
Key word definition of HOPE, according to Hebrews 11:1 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+11&version=KJV;NLT, “…Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.…”
Key word TRUMPET:
Key word definition of TRUMPET, according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=VT0003093,
(d) of a summons to John to the presence of God, Rev 1:10; 4:1;
(e) of the act of the Lord in raising from the dead the saints who have fallen asleep and changing the bodies of those who are living, at the Rapture of all to meet Him in the air, 1Cr 15:52, where "the last trump" is a military allusion, familiar to Greek readers, and has no connection with the series in Rev 8:6 to 11:15; there is a possible allusion to Num 10:2-6, with reference to the same event, 1Th 4:16, "the (lit., a) trump of God" (the absence of the article suggests the meaning "a trumpet such as is used in God's service").
Key word GOD:
Key word definition of GOD, according to 1 John 5:7 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%205%3A7&version=KJV, “…For there are three that bear record in Heaven, The FATHER, The Word, and The Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
Key word definition of GOD, according to britannica.com @ https://www.britannica.com/topic/Yahweh, “Yahweh, name for the God of the Israelites, representing the biblical pronunciation of “YHWH,” the Hebrew name revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus. The name YHWH, consisting of the sequence of consonants Yod, Heh, Waw, and Heh, is known as the tetragrammaton. After the Babylonian Exile (6th century BCE), and especially from the 3rd century BCE on, Jews ceased to use the name Yahweh for two reasons. As Judaism became a universal rather than merely a local religion, the more common Hebrew noun Elohim (plural in form but understood in the singular), meaning “God,” tended to replace Yahweh to demonstrate the universal sovereignty of Israel’s God over all others. At the same time, the divine name was increasingly regarded as too sacred to be uttered; it was thus replaced vocally in the synagogue ritual by the Hebrew word Adonai (“My Lord”), which was translated as Kyrios (“Lord”) in the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures…”
Now that we have a basic Scripture based understanding about the definition of the “key” words of this message’s topic and subtopic titles, 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. Let us start with John 17:24:
LORD Jesus prayed to His Heavenly FATHER, in John 17:24, for His disciples a.k.a. betrothed Bride a.k.a. Church, to be able to see the glory of Heaven that He left to come to Earth, be shed of His glory, be born of a virgin, live a sinless life, humble Himself to be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, chastised for our peace, mercilessly beat by trained killers, whipped on His back with a whip called cat o' nine tails, bled His precious Blood, was marred beyond recognition, hanged on a cross, died, was buried, and was resurrected 3 days later so that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have Everlasting Life. Yes, all these events took place and without a doubt, with LORD Jesus fulfilling His works of Salvation, GOD will answer answer His prayer, according to John 17:20 and John 17:24. These are the words Jesus prayed for us to see the glory of Heaven:
"...I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in Me through their message...." John 17:20 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2017&version=KJV;NLT
“…FATHER, I want these whom you have given Me to be with Me where I am. Then they can see all the glory You gave Me because you loved Me even before the World began!” John 17:24 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+17%3A24&version=KJV;NLT
Now that we realize and understand, based on John 17:20 and John 17:24, LORD Jesus wants and prayed for His disciples a.k.a. betrothed Bride a.k.a. Church, to be able to see the glory of Heaven, the question now becomes, “How, based on those Scripture references, according to the Word of GOD, are we going to experience GOD The FATHER answering Jesus’ John 17:24 prayer so that we are able to see the glory of Heaven that LORD Jesus lived in, even before the foundation of the World began?” The answer is according to 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17:
According to 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Apostle Paul reveals how we will leave Earth to see the glory of Heaven. He declared it by revealing these words, “…Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed….”
Apostle Paul also declared it according to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 when he revealed, “…For The LORD Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet The LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with The LORD. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
Now that we realize and understand, based on clearly stated Scripture references, how The Heavenly FATHER is going to answer Jesus’ John 17:24 prayer, let us see one of the things that LORD Jesus is going to doing while He awaits the fulfillment of 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. It is written according to John 14:1-3:
According to John 14:1-3, LORD Jesus declared, “…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.”
Now that we realize and understand, based on clearly stated Scripture references, one of the things that LORD Jesus is doing, which He revealed according to John 14:1-3, let us also take a look at one of the things that we can be doing while Jesus is away preparing many mansions for us! It is revealed in John 13:34-35:
LORD Jesus commanded, according to John 13:34-35(NLT), “…So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the World that you are My disciples.”
Now, as Holy Spirit led Children of GOD, let us close according to the wisdom, revelation knowledge, instruction and blessing of LORD Jesus according to Luke 21:29-36 and Revelation 3:7-10:
“…And to the angel of the Church in Philadelphia write; These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the Hour of Temptation, which shall come upon all the World, to try them that dwell upon the Earth.”
“…Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that The Kingdom of GOD is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and Earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole Earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
Amen to ABBA FATHER’S Holy Word, in Jesus’ name! Matthew 11:27

Today's message is entitled: “SALVATION’S CONDITIONALIZED INCLUSION”
Subtopic: ‘Divine Sovereignty of GOD’
By: Rosa Appling-Banks
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, 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, 1.16.2022, we covered the message entitled "THE MYSTERY REVEALED.” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/the-mystery-revealed-1642362862/
For the sake of providing an overall understanding, as we proceed forward with today's message entitled “SALVATION’S CONDITIONAL INCLUSION” with the subtopic titled ‘Divine Sovereignty of GOD’, I realize that wisdom is to first define the key words of the title and subtopic’s title. The purpose for doing so is because defining the “key” words will assist in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its 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.
The Scripturally defined key words of the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message are SALVATION, CONDITIONALIZED, INCLUSION, DIVINE, SOVERIEGNTY, GOD:
Key word SALVATION:
Key word definition of SALVATION, according to Acts 4:11-12(NLT) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ACTS+4&version=NLT,KJV, “…Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, ‘The Stone that you builders rejected has now become The Cornerstone.’ There is Salvation in no one else! GOD has given no other name under Heaven by which we must be saved.”
Key word CONDITIONALIZED:
Key word definition of CONDITIONALIZED, according to Dictionary @ https://www.wordnik.com/words/conditionalize , “...from The Century Dictionary. To condition; qualify… verb: To make conditional… From conditional + -ize.”
Key word INCLUSION:
Key word definition of INCLUSION, according to Dictionary @ https://www.google.com/search?q=INCLUSION+definition, “…The action or state of including or of being included within a group or structure.”
Key word DIVINE:
Key word definition of DIVINE, according to Dictionary @ https://www.yourdictionary.com/divine, “…Given or inspired by GOD; holy; sacred.”
Key word SOVERIEGNTY:
Key word definition of SOVERIEGNTY, according to britannica.com @ https://www.britannica.com/topic/sovereignty, “Sovereignty, in political theory, the ultimate overseer, or authority, in the decision-making process of the state…”
Key word GOD:
Key word definition of GOD, according to britannica.com @ https://www.britannica.com/topic/Yahweh, “Yahweh, name for the God of the Israelites, representing the biblical pronunciation of “YHWH,” the Hebrew name revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus. The name YHWH, consisting of the sequence of consonants Yod, Heh, Waw, and Heh, is known as the tetragrammaton. After the Babylonian Exile (6th century BCE), and especially from the 3rd century BCE on, Jews ceased to use the name Yahweh for two reasons. As Judaism became a universal rather than merely a local religion, the more common Hebrew noun Elohim (plural in form but understood in the singular), meaning “God,” tended to replace Yahweh to demonstrate the universal sovereignty of Israel’s God over all others. At the same time, the divine name was increasingly regarded as too sacred to be uttered; it was thus replaced vocally in the synagogue ritual by the Hebrew word Adonai (“My Lord”), which was translated as Kyrios (“Lord”) in the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures…”
Now that we have a basic Scripture based understanding about the definition of the “key” words of this message’s topic and subtopic titles, 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. Let us start with the Book of John 3:1-17:
It is written, according to John 3:1-17(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3&version=NKJV;KJV “…There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from GOD; for no one can do these signs that You do unless GOD is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see The Kingdom of GOD.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter The Kingdom of GOD. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of The Spirit is Spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of The Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you Earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you Heavenly things? No one has ascended to Heaven but He who came down from Heaven, that is, The Son of Man who is in Heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have Eternal Life. For GOD so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have Everlasting Life. For GOD did not send His Son into the World to condemn the World, but that the World through Him might be saved.”
Romans 10:4-13(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+10&version=NKJV;KJV, “…For Christ is the end of the law for Righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes about the Righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the Righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into Heaven?’ ”(that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ”(that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth The LORD Jesus and believe in your heart that GOD has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto Righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same LORD over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of The LORD shall be saved.”
Galatians 3:26-29(KJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+3%3A26-29&version=NKJV;KJV, “…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 8:12-17(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8&version=NKJV;KJV, “…Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by The Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by The Spirit of GOD, these are sons of GOD. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received The Spirit of Adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, FATHER.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are Children of GOD, and if children, then heirs—heirs of GOD and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together…”
Galatians 5:16-26(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+5&version=NKJV;KJV, “…I say then: Walk in The Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against The Spirit, and The Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by The Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit The Kingdom of GOD. But the fruit of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in The Spirit, let us also walk in The Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
Now, as Holy Spirit led Children of GOD, let us close according to the wisdom, revelation knowledge, instruction and blessing of the servant Jude, the brother of James and the half-brother of Jesus Christ, through Mary, his mother and her husband Joseph: Jude 1:2-25 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jude+1&version=NKJV,KJV, “…Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the Saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our GOD into lasciviousness, and denying the only LORD GOD, and our LORD Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that The LORD, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the Great Day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, “The LORD rebuke thee.” But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, The LORD cometh with ten thousands of His Saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the Apostles of our LORD Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not The Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of GOD, looking for the mercy of our LORD Jesus Christ unto Eternal Life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise GOD our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”
Amen to ABBA FATHER’S Holy Word, in Jesus’ name! Matthew 11:27

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, 1.9.2022, we covered the message entitled "WISDOM’S STRATEGIC STRATEGEMS FOR TODAY’S DELIMMAS.” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/wisdom-s-strategic-strategems-for-today-s-delimmas/
For the sake of providing an overall understanding, as we proceed forward with today's message entitled "THE MYSTERY REVEALED” with the subtopic titled ‘They Didn’t Know, Now They Know’, I like to first define the key words of the title and subtopic’s title. Defining the “key” words will assist in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its 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.
The Scripturally defined key words of the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message are MYSTERY; REVEALED; THEY; KNOW:
Key word MYSTERY:
Key word definition of MYSTERY is according to 1 Timothy 3:16:
1 Timothy 3:16(NKJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+3%3A16&version=KJV,NKJV, “…And without controversy great is the mystery of Godliness: GOD was manifested in the flesh, Justified in The Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the World, Received up in glory…”
Key word REVEALED:
Key word definition of REVEALED, according to 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+2%3A9-10&version=NKJV;KJV “…But as it is written: “…Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which GOD has prepared for those who love Him.” But GOD has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of GOD.”
Key word definition of REVEALED, according to Matthew 1:23-25 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+1%3A23-25&version=KJV;NKJV “…Behold, the virgin shall be with Child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “GOD with us.” Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of The LORD commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth he firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.”
Key word definition of REVEALED, according to Hebrews 10:5-10 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+10%3A5-10&version=KJV;NKJV “…Therefore, when He came into the World, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—In the volume of the Book it is written of Me—To do Your will, O GOD.’” Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O GOD.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
Key word THEY:
Key word definition of THEY, according to 1 Corinthians 2:8 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+2%3A8&version=NKJV;KJV “…none of the rulers of this Age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the LORD of Glory…”
Key word definition of THEY, according to Revelation 12:7-12 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+12&version=KJV;NKJV “…And war broke out in Heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in Heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole World; he was cast to the Earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and The Kingdom of our GOD, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our GOD day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the Blood of The Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the Earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
Key word KNOW:
Key word definition of KNOW, according to John 8:32 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+8%3A32&version=KJV;NKJV Jesus/Yeshua declared, “…And you shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you free.”
Key word definition of KNOW, according to John 14:6 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14%3A6&version=KJV;NKJV “…Jesus said to him, “I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to The FATHER except through Me.”
Now that we have a basic Scripture based understanding about the definition of the “key” words of this message’s topic and subtopic titles, within the relevance of today’s message, let’s now consume the Word of GOD, beginning with the Book of John 8:18-32:
It is written, according to John 8:18-32 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+8%3A18-32&version=NKJV;KJV18 Jesus/Yeshua declared to a group of unbelievers, “…I am One who bears witness of Myself, and The FATHER who sent Me bears witness of Me.” Then they said to Him, “Where is Your FATHER?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My FATHER. If you had known Me, you would have known My FATHER also.” These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come. Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.” So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?” And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this World; I am not of this World. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” Then they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the World those things which I heard from Him.” They did not understand that He spoke to them of The FATHER. Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up The Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My FATHER taught Me, I speak these things. And He who sent Me is with Me. The FATHER has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you free.”
In other words, Jesus/Yeshua was telling them, “…the Son of Man has come down from Heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in Him will have Eternal Life. For this is how GOD loved the World: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have Eternal Life. GOD sent His Son into the World not to judge the World, but to save the World through Him. There is no judgment against anyone who believes in Him. But anyone who does not believe in Him has already been judged for not believing in GOD’S one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: GOD’S Light came into the World, but people loved the Darkness more than The Light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate The Light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to The Light so others can see that they are doing what GOD wants.”
Praise GOD Almighty! The mystery is revealed! Immanuel is The Lamb of GOD slain before the foundations of the World and according to Revelation 12, Satan and his legions of cohorts are hellaciously angry about it.
So, let us close according to Isaiah 55:6-7 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+55%3A6-7&version=KJV;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.”
Amen to ABBA FATHER’S Holy Word, in Jesus’ name! Matthew 11:27

Greetings Truth Seekers! Happy New 2022 Year! 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, 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, 10.3.2021, we covered the message entitled "CHRIST’S NATION.” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/christ-s-nation/
For the sake of providing an overall understanding, as we proceed forward with today's message entitled "CHOOSE LIFE” with the subtopic titled ‘The Great Divide’, I like to first define the key words of the title and subtopic’s title. Defining the “key” words will assist in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its 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 that is congruent with the heart of GOD in todays times and seasons, which in turn inspires ones desire to become more and more reflective of being likened to a Philippians 3:20 Kingdom citizen, in attitude and lifestyle.
The key words that states the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message are CHOOSE; LIFE; GREAT DIVIDE:
Key word CHOOSE:
Key word definition of CHOOSE, according to KJV Dictionary Definition, @ https://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/choose.html: 1. To pick out; to select; to take by way of preference from two or more things offered; to make choice of.
Key word LIFE:
Key word definition of LIFE, according to KJV Dictionary Definition @ https://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/life.html: 24. The Author and Giver of supreme felicity; John 14:6-7(NLT), “...Jesus told him, “I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one can come to The FATHER except through Me. If you had really known Me, you would know who My FATHER is. From now on, you do know Him and have seen Him!”
Key word GREAT DIVIDE:
Key word definition of GREAT DIVIDE, according to Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary @ https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/great%20divide: a significant point of division
Now that we have a basic understanding about the definition of the “key” words of this message’s topic and subtopic titles, within the relevance of today’s message, let’s consume the Word of GOD beginning with 1 Kings 18:1-12:
1 Kings 18:1-21(KJV), “And it came to pass after many days, that the word of The LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the Earth. And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared The LORD greatly: For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of The LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) And Ahab said unto Obadiah, “Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, “Art thou that my lord Elijah?” And he answered him, “I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.” And he said, “What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? As The LORD thy GOD liveth, there is no Nation or Kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the Kingdom and Nation, that they found thee not. And now thou sayest, “Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.” And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of The LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear The LORD from my youth. Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of The LORD, how I hid an hundred men of The LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? And now thou sayest, “Go, tell thy lord, ‘Behold, Elijah is here’: and he shall slay me.” And Elijah said, “As The LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.” So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, “Art thou he that troubleth Israel?” And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of The LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim. Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.” So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, “How long halt ye between two opinions? if The LORD be GOD, follow Him: but if Baal, then follow him...”
Joshua 24:15(KJV), “...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...”
Hebrews 3:4-19(NLT), “...For every house has a builder, but The One who built everything is GOD. Moses was certainly faithful in GOD’S house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths GOD would reveal later. But Christ, as The Son, is in charge of GOD’S entire house. And we are GOD’S house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ. That is why the Holy Spirit says, “Today when you hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled, when they tested Me in the wilderness. There your ancestors tested and tried My patience, even though they saw My miracles for forty years. So I was angry with them, and I said, ‘Their hearts always turn away from Me. They refuse to do what I tell them.’ So in My anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter My place of rest.’” Be careful then, dear Brothers and Sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living GOD. You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against GOD. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting GOD just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. Remember what it says: “Today when you hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.” And who was it who rebelled against GOD, even though they heard His voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt? And who made GOD angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness? And to whom was GOD speaking when He took an oath that they would never enter His rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed Him? So we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter His rest.”
Deuteronomy 30:19-20(NLT), “Today I have given you the choice between Life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on Heaven and Earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose Life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving The LORD your GOD, obeying Him, and committing yourself firmly to Him. This is The Key to your life...”
Joshua 24:14(KJV), “...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.”
In closing, let us do so with the warning of Jesus the Christ a.k.a. Yeshua the Messiah according to Matthew 10:32-39(KJV), “...Everyone who acknowledges Me publicly here on Earth, I will also acknowledge before My FATHER in Heaven. But everyone who denies Me here on Earth, I will also deny before My FATHER in Heaven. Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the Earth! I came not to bring peace, but a Sword. I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Your enemies will be right in your own household!’ If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, you are not worthy of being Mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than Me, you are not worthy of being Mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow Me, you are not worthy of being Mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for Me, you will find it.”
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 "CHOOSE LIFE” with the Subtopic: ‘The Great Divide’ 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, 1.9.2022, 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”

Today's message is titled: "CHRIST’S NATION”
Subtopic: ‘In GOD We Trust’
By: Rosa Appling-Banks
https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/christ-s-nation/
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, 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, 9.12.2021, we covered the message titled "KINGDOM: Righteousness, Joy and Peace.” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/kingdom-righteousness-joy-and-peace/
Now, as we go forward with today's message titled "CHRIST’S NATION” with a Subtopic titled: ‘In GOD We Trust’, for the sake of providing an overall understanding, I like to first define the key words of the title and subtopic’s title. In doing so, the “key” words will assist in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective of its gist. Also, in doing so, by understanding the context of the content of the message will aid in one having the ability to cognizantly make application of its wisdom, which in turn inspires ones desire to become more and more reflective of being likened to a Philippians 3:20 Kingdom citizen, in attitude and lifestyle.
The key words that states the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message are CHRIST’S; NATION; GOD; and TRUST:
Key word definition of CHRIST:
According to Easton's Bible Dictionary @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=ET0000818, is defined as: Anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that He was anointed or consecrated to His great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of His people. He is Jesus the Christ (Act 17:3; 18:5; Mat 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (Isa 61:1), and by Daniel (Dan 9:24-26), who styles Him "Messiah the Prince."
The apostrophized “s” that is suffixed onto the first word term of the title "CHRIST’S NATION” is in reference to Jesus/Yeshua being The Redeemer, Heir, and Groom of His betrothed people who are also known in 1 Peter 2:9-10 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+2%3A9-10+&version=KJV;NLT and Galatians 3:26-29 @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+3%3A26-29+&version=KJV;NLT as an ever growing, multiplicity of Nationalities around the globe.
Key word definition of NATION:
NATION, according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=VT0001892; Strong's Number: g1484; Greek: ethnos; is defined originally "a multitude".
Key word definition of GOD:
GOD, according to The Free Dictionary @ https://www.thefreedictionary.com/God; defined GOD:
1. A Being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the Universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.
2. The force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this Being.
3. A Being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a Male Deity thought to control some part of nature or reality
4. An image of a supernatural Being; an idol.
5. One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed
GOD, according to International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=IT0003848; is defined as 1: GOD ('Elohim, El, [Elyon], Shadday, Yahweh; Theos):
GOD says this about Himself, according to Isaiah 46:9(KJV),”...I am GOD, and there is none else; I am GOD, and there is none like Me...”
Key word definition of TRUST:
TRUST, according to Nave's Topical Bible @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=NT0005004; to define Trust: See FAITH.
FAITH, according to Easton's Bible Dictionary @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=ET0001302; is defined in general as “...the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true (Phl 1:27; 2Th 2:13). Its primary idea is trust. A thing is true, and therefore worthy of trust. It admits of many degrees up to full assurance of faith, in accordance with the evidence on which it rests.
Also, FAITH, according to Hebrews 11:1(KJV), “...Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen...” And Hebrews 11:6(KJV), “...But without faith it is impossible to please GOD: for he that cometh to GOD must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”
Now that we have a basic understanding about the definition of the “key” words of this message’s topic and subtopic titles, within the relevance of today’s message, let’s go further, first natural, then Spiritual.
From a natural standpoint, "In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States of America and of the U.S. state of Florida. As a Nation, it is a blessing to have such a motto to synoptically encapsulate the core of the soul of our Nation's belief that is the foundation and chief cornerstone that Supernaturally endowed us with the favor to be blessed, raised, and kept from implosion and demise by the almighty Power, might and Hand of Almighty GOD.
Spiritually, all over the globe, there is a Holy Nation of people in every Nation. Apostle Peter declares the Holy Nation that Jesus gave His life for is according to 1 Peter 2:9-10, "...But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy Nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of Darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of GOD, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy."
In addition to Apostle Peter's revelation of what the birth, death, burial, and resurrection of Christ Jesus/Yeshua accomplished on behalf of the lost, Apostle Paul goes on to further describe those who are part of the Holy Nation of GOD'S Son, according to Galatians 3:26-29(KJV), "...For ye are all the Children of GOD by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise..." BUT, coming against the land of Jerusalem, Israel is still likened to touching the "apple of GOD'S eye" according to Romans 11.
However, until Revelation 19 comes to full "manifested" pass, in these perilous times, we need the manifestation of the favor of the Hand of GOD upon our Nation once again. And according to the Word of GOD, a multitude is not needed to set the atmosphere to bind, loose, forbid and/or permit what is necessary for it to be so. It is written according to John 14:12-14(NLT), Jesus said, "...I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in Me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with The FATHER. You can ask for anything in My name, and I will do it, so that The Son can bring glory to The FATHER. Yes, ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it!"
So remember, until all is said and done, praying in the name of Jesus is the primary key to activate the authoritative Power of Heaven in the Earth realm. And as we do so, under the guidance of Holy Ghost, the 3rd Person of the GODhead, who was sent to us as our John 14:16 Paraclete, to lead and guide us, in the stead of LORD Jesus, who is now seated with all authority and Power, at the Right Hand of The FATHER, until Acts 3:19-21, we must push back on darkness, in prayer and do all that is necessary to bind and cease the powers of Darkness that comes to kill, steal, destroy and defame our Nation from representing our motto, "In GOD We Trust." It is so, in GOD we trust. And it is so. Let GOD arise and His enemies be scattered, in Jesus' name, amen!
1 Corinthians 15:58, "...Therefore, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of The LORD, knowing that your labor is not in vain in The LORD."
Philippians 1:6(NLT), "...And I am certain that GOD, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."
Now, let us close with the word of The LORD that was given to Apostle Paul who was Holy Spirit inspired to reveal how to live a life that is pleasing to GOD while keeping our Ephesians 6:10-18 armor on. It is written according to Romans 12:1-2(Message Bible), “...So here’s what I want you to do, GOD helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before GOD as an offering. Embracing what GOD does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on GOD. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, GOD brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you...”
Now, as we go forth doing so, disciples will be inspired and made as we, according to Jesus' prayer in John 17:21-23, become one in the Spirit, according to Acts 1:8, continually be endued with Power, and according to Romans 8:14, be led by the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. Doing so will equip us to competently present ourselves, on a daily basis, as representable witnesses of Christ’ Kingdom on Earth, to all people, in every Nation, in the Spirit of Excellence, Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, Knowledge, and in the reverential fear of The LORD, to the glory of GOD, our Heavenly FATHER. Be ready Betrothed Bride of The LORD! Stay ready Betrothed Bride of The LORD! Just like He took Enoch and Elijah, Luke 21:36 reveals Jesus/Yeshua is revealing to us what we are to pray for. The Luke 21:36 prayer is only for those who desire to experience its promise. I choose to obey Jesus/Yeshua accordingly. HALLELUJAH!
ENOCH: Genesis 5:24(KJV), "...And Enoch walked with GOD: and he was not; for GOD took him."
ENOCH: Hebrews 11:5(KJV), "...By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because GOD had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased GOD."
ELIJAH: 2 Kings 2:11(KJV), "...And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into Heaven."
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 "CHRIST’S NATION” with the Subtopic: ‘In GOD We Trust’ 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, 10.10.2021, 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, health, wealth, true riches, and Spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear. 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”

It's that time again! 9.23.2021
Welcome to Thursday's Open Book Q & A!
Title of today’s Q & A: (Repost) “INHERITED DOMINION”
Subtopic title: ‘Global’
https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/inherited-dominion-1632425906/
Go to link above for today's message! 😊
Yes! It is Thursday's Open Book Q & A time again! During our last Thursday’s (9.16.2021) message we covered “NEW IN THE SON” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/new-in-the-son/
Now, before we go any further, I want you to know that it is my continual prayer that you are living your life according to the will of the Heavenly FATHER. Why? Because it is of the utmost importance according to Mark 3:31-35(NKJV), "...Then Jesus brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him. And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.” But He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?” And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of GOD is My brother and My sister and mother.” Also, it is my prayer that you are pursuing GOD'S will for your life because it ensures you experiencing blessings of The LORD’S Psalm 91/Isaiah 54:17 Divine protection, Isaiah 53:5 health, Proverbs 10:22 wealth, and Romans 14:17 joy and peace. And for your lost beloved ones, my prayer is that they will wholeheartedly experience an Ezekiel 26:36 transformation before it is too late, in Jesus name! Amen.
As we transition into today’s message, be informed that it is an "edited repost" from July 25, 2021 @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/inherited-dominion/, titled “INHERITED DOMINION” with the Subtopic title: ‘Global.’ Why share this reposted message? It is rhema word.
Now, on this day of 9.23.2021, let us get right into the gist of the “reposted” message “INHERITED DOMINION”, with its’ Subtopic titled ‘Global.’
Synoptically speaking, the topic’s title "Inherited Dominion” and subtitle ‘Global’, reveals to us that today’s message is about something that the Children of GOD, from the youngest to the eldest, has inherited, and its extension of capacity is global, for whomsoever will wholeheartedly receive it. However, before we expound on the truth-filled specifications of the dominion that has been inherited, let us get a defined understanding of the words of the topic’s title "Inherited Dominion” and subtitle ‘Global.’
INHERITED:
According to the Cambridge’ English-Arabic dictionary @ https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english-arabic/inherit?q=inherited INHERITED means: “...to get money or things from someone after they die.”
DOMINION:
According to the en.bab.la › dictionary › english-arabic dictionary @ https://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-arabic/dominion DOMINION has a 3-fold perspective meaning (1) General, (2) Territory, and (3) Authority. And they are defined as:
(1) General: dominion (also: sovereignty) {noun} dominion (also: predominance, domination, dominance, hegemony, control, supremacy) dominion (also: rule)
(2) Territory: dominion (also: settlement)
(3) Authority: dominion (also: sultan, lord) dominion (also: sovereignty, supremacy, rule)
GLOBAL:
According to the en.bab.la › dictionary › english-arabic dictionary @ https://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-arabic/global GLOBAL has a 2-fold perspective meaning (1) comprehensive, and (2) worldwide. And they are defined as:
(1) Comprehensive: global (also: comprehensive, overall, grand, net, total, aggregate, gross) global (also: universal, holistic, totalitarian)
(2) worldwide: global (also: world, international, worldwide)
Now that we have, from a "natural" sense of perspective, a basically defined understanding of the meaning of the word terms of this messages’ title and subtitle, in reference to Mankind’s way of willing their material substances to whomever they choose, after their death, let us now, from a "Spiritual" perspective, gain an understanding of how these terms relate to how the Heavenly FATHER so loved the people of the World that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus/Yeshua, that whosoever believeth on Him will not perish but have everlasting life. In other words, when Jesus/Yeshua who is also known as The Word of GOD, came in the flesh by being born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, shed His sinless Blood on the Cross on Calvary’s hill, died, was buried, and was resurrected from the dead, to become the manifested substance of the written word of GOD The FATHER, in bodily/flesh form, according to the detailed, ancient prophesies, in the "Hebrews 10:7" volume of The Book, which in turn made Jesus/Yeshua the legal testator of The Will of The Heavenly FATHER, for Mankind, that is a free-willed offer to whomsoever will, to come and wholeheartedly receive its Truth, in a nutshell, means Jesus/Yeshua is the risen Testator of The Church a.k.a. Elect a.k.a. Body of Christ.
What is a testator? According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testator A “testator” (/tɛsˈteɪtɔːr/) is a person who has written and executed a last will and testament that is in effect at the time of his/her death.[1] It is any "person who makes a will."
In other words, in order to legally receive a willed inheritance, the one who wills the inheritance must first die. As it is in the natural, pertaining to being in position to legally receive a willed inheritance, it is also the same in the Spiritual realm. What is the Spiritual connection? The connection is the resurrected Testator who makes us legally positioned to receive what Apostle Paul declares as "heirs according to the promise" through the risen Christ Jesus/Yeshua. It is written according to Galatians 3:26-29:
Galatians 3:26-29(NIV), "...So in Christ Jesus you are all children of GOD through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Jesus/Yeshua a.k.a. GOD The FATHER/GOD The Son/GOD The Holy Ghost, is the one who has written and executed the fulfillment of a last will and testament that is in effect now, and the Holy Willed Testament is known as The Bible. Yes, because of the resurrected ransomed Sacrifice a.k.a. Jesus/Yeshua a.k.a. The Testator who paid the price to make the Holy Willed Testament legal and Universally binding, so that whomsoever will can come, and through Him, become inheritors and Spiritually legalized partakers of His Holy Will a.k.a. The Bible, every Nationality of race and creed are welcome, through Christ Jesus!
Jesus’/Yeshua’s Holy written Will is our validating, legal, Universally binding, right of Heirship to the Kingdom of GOD, and all of His blessed declarations, throughout Eternity, according to 1 Peter 2:9-10, that declares that we, the Philippians 3:20 people of Heaven, are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy Nation, GOD’S own special people, who proclaims praises of Him who called us out of Darkness into His marvelous Light; who once were not a people but are now the people of GOD.
Jesus/Yeshua, our resurrected Testator, died for the remission of the sin(s) of the World, which were many. But glory be to GOD The Heavenly FATHER, Jesus was resurrected by the Power of the Spirit of Holy Ghost, three days after He laid His life down on the Cross, on Golgotha’s hill, at Calvary. It is written according to John 3:16(NKJV), “...For GOD so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have Everlasting Life.” And also, Jesus/Yeshua became our resurrected Testator according to the words of Apostle Paul according to 1 Corinthians 15:3-6, “...Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and He was buried, and He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once...”
Now, as inheritors of the Kingdom of GOD and joint heirs, through Christ Jesus/Yeshua The Messiah, to approach His Throne, by Grace through faith, in the name of Christ Jesus, we are not of this World. We are Philippians 3:20 citizens of Heaven, in the Earth realm, who are disciples of Christ Jesus, capacitated to competently function, led and empowered by the might and Power of His Holy Spirit a.k.a. Holy Ghost, according to His heart, word, Will, and way.
As born-again-from-above, mature disciples of Christ Jesus, according to Ephesians 4:12-32(NLT), Apostle Paul declares that we are to “...equip GOD’S people to do His work and build up The Church a.k.a. The Body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of GOD’S Son that we will be mature in The LORD, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like The Truth. Instead, we will speak the Truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is The Head of His body, The Church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole Body is healthy and growing and full of love. With The LORD’S authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life GOD gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against Him. They have no sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice every kind of impurity. But that isn’t what you learned about Christ. Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the Truth that comes from Him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like GOD—truly Righteous and Holy. So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same Body. And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil. If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need. Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to GOD’S Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, He has identified you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the Day of Redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as GOD through Christ has forgiven you...”
In closing, Jesus/Yeshua, the one who is the reason why we have been so royally bequeathed as partakers of His Kingdom’s "global" dominion, and as His inheritors, has prayed for us that we will have the wherewithal, within and without, to fulfill all that He has predetermined for us to accomplish on His behalf, in the Earth realm. Yes, Jesus/Yeshua prayed for His originally elected disciples according to John 17:6-19, but His prayer also transcendently and inclusively covered those of us whom He would personally elect, and raise up to become His disciples throughout the generations, in the realm of time. The transcending prayer is written according to John 17:20-23:
John 17:20-23(NLT), Jesus/Yeshua prayed, “...I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in Me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as You and I are one—as You are in Me, FATHER, and I am in You. And may they be in Us so that the World will believe You sent Me. I have given them the glory You gave Me, so they may be one as We are one. I am in them and You are in Me. May they experience such perfect unity that the World will know that You sent Me and that You love them as much as You love Me...”
The Good News is that as we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of GOD’S Son that we will be mature in The LORD, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ, the Body of Christ are endowed with the presence and Power of the dominion of the of The Kingdom of Christ Jesus. Where is the Kingdom of GOD in the Earth realm, in this dispensation of the Age of Grace? It is according to Luke 17:20-21(NKJV), “...Now when Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when The Kingdom of GOD would come, He answered them and said, “The Kingdom of GOD does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, The Kingdom of GOD is within you.”
In addition to Jesus declaring where the Kingdom of GOD is, Apostle Paul reveals the detailed specificities that defines what The Kingdom of GOD is, in this dispensation of time. It is written according to Romans 14:17:
Romans 14:17 reveals Apostle Paul declared, “...The Kingdom of GOD is not eating and drinking, but Righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
Wisdom is to realize that our resurrected Testator, Jesus/Yeshua a.k.a. The Son of GOD, desires that all will come into the knowledge of The LORD, His LORDship, and His Kingdom as the waters cover the sea. For it is written, according to Habakkuk 2:14 and Isaiah 11:9:
Habakkuk 2:14(KJV), "...For the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of The LORD, as the waters cover the sea..."
Isaiah 11:9(KJV), "...They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain: for the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of The LORD, as the waters cover the sea..."
In other words, The LORD'S desire is for all around the globe to wholeheartedly receive His saving Grace so that the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD in "Righteousness, joy and peace", will indwell all people. Why? Because when we are indwelled with the "Righteousness, joy and peace that can only come from The Holy Ghost dwelling within, the "love" of GOD in its length, breadth, width, and height will be experienced. It is written according to Ephesians 3:14-19:
Ephesians 3:14-19(NKJV), "...For this reason I bow my knees to The Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in Heaven and Earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the Saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of GOD."
Rhetorical question is to what extent does the Heavenly FATHER desire His agape love and the dominion of the Kingdom of GOD to reach on an International scale? The answer is Global. And from a synoptically worded instruction pertaining to how and what to do to reach potential inheritors of the Kingdom of GOD, and groom them to become disciples of the cause, globally? It is written according to Matthew 28:18-20:
Matthew 28:18-20(NKJV), “...And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on Earth. 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.” Amen.
Now, as we go forth doing so, disciples will be made as we, according to Jesus' prayer in John 17:20-23 become one in the Spirit, according to Acts 1:8 be endued with Power, and according to Romans 8:14 be led by the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. Doing so will equip us to competently present ourselves as a representable witness of Christ, to all people, in every Nation, in the Spirit of Excellence, Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, Knowledge, and in the reverential fear of The LORD, to the glory of GOD The FATHER.
Oh my how time flies when you are in the gist of fulfilling your mission! Oh how great are GOD’S riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand all His decisions and His ways! For who can know all The LORD’S thoughts? Who knows enough to give Him advice? And who has given Him so much that He needs to pay it back? For everything comes from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory to Him forever! Amen.
As I bring today’s message “INHERITED DOMINION” w/the Subtopic title: ‘Global’ to a close, I must do so with the words of Apostle Paul, according to Romans 8:12-17(NLT), “...Dear Brothers and Sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of GOD are children of GOD. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received GOD’S Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, “Abba, FATHER.” For His Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are GOD’S children. And since we are His children, we are His heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of GOD’S glory. But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering...”
Today’s Q & A question is this: Are you a child of GOD?
__ Yes
__ No

Welcome to Thursday's Open Book Q & A!
Title of today’s Q & A: “NEW IN THE SON”
Subtopic title: ‘New Under The Sun’
https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/new-in-the-son/
Go to link above for today's message! 😊
Yes! It is Thursday's Open Book Q & A time again! During our last Thursday’s (8.26.2021) message we covered “DID GOD KNOW?” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/did-god-know/
Now, before we go any further, I want you to know that it is my continual prayer that you are living your life according to the will of the Heavenly FATHER. Why? Because it is of the utmost importance according to Mark 3:31-35(NKJV), "...Then Jesus brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him. And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.” But He answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?” And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of GOD is My brother and My sister and mother.”
Also, it is my prayer that you are pursuing GOD'S will for your life because it ensures you experiencing blessings of The LORD’S Psalm 91/Isaiah 54:17 Divine protection, Isaiah 53:5 health, Proverbs 10:22 wealth, and Romans 14:17 joy and peace. And for your lost beloved ones, my prayer is that they will wholeheartedly experience an Ezekiel 26:36 transformation before it is too late, in Jesus name! Amen.
Now, as we transition into today’s message titled “NEW IN THE SON” with the Subtopic title: ‘New Under The Sun’, it is a reminder to some and an enlightenment to others that although, according to Ecclesiastes 1:9, King Solomon declared, “...there is nothing new under the (sun)...” Scripture reveals that Apostle Paul shed inspired light pertaining to the truth-filled fact that Christ died and rose so that all could become a “new” creation in The Son of GOD while living under the sun to the glory of The Heavenly FATHER.
Now, for the sake of getting an overall understanding of the gist of each message I share with you each “Open Book Q & A” Thursday, I like to first define the “key” words that states the title and subtopic’s title of the message so that the specificity of their relevance within the message are properly perceived in the right perspective.
The key words that states the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message “NEW IN THE SON” with the Subtopic title: ‘New Under The Sun’, are “NEW; UNDER; THE SON and THE SUN:
Key word definitions of NEW:
(1) NEW, according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words; Strong's Number: g2537; Greek: kainos @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=VT0001914:
“Denotes "new," of that which is unaccustomed or unused, not "new" in time, recent, but "new" as to form or quality, of different nature from what is contrasted as old. "'The new tongues,' kainos, of Mar 16:17 are the 'other tongues,' heteros, of Act 2:4. These languages, however, were 'new' and 'different,' not in the sense that they had never been heard before, or that they were new to the hearers, for it is plain from Act 2:8 that this is not the case; they were new languages to the speakers, different from those in which they were accustomed to speak...”
(2) NEW, according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words; Strong's Number: g3501; Greek: neos @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=VT0001914:
“signifies "new" in respect of time, that which is recent; it is used of the young, and so translated, especially the comparative degree "younger;" accordingly what is neos may be a reproduction of the old in quality or character. Neos and kainos are sometimes used of the same thing, but there is a difference, as already indicated. Thus the "new man" in Eph 2:15 (kainos) is "new" in differing in character; so in Eph 4:24 (see No. 1); but the "new man" in Col 3:10 (neos) stresses the fact of the believer's "new" experience, recently begun, and still proceeding. "The old man in him... dates as far back as Adam; a new man has been born, who therefore is fitly so called" [i.e., neos], Trench, Syn. lx. The "New" Covenant in Hbr 12:24 is "new" (neos) compared with the Mosaic, nearly fifteen hundred years before; it is "new" (kainos) compared with the Mosaic, which is old in character, ineffective, Hbr 8:8, 13; 9:15. The "new" wine of Mat 9:17; Mar 2:22; Luk 5:37-39, is neos, as being of recent production; the "new" wine of the kingdom, Mat 26:29; Mar 14:25, is kainos, since it will be of a different character from that of this world. The rendering "new" (neos) is elsewhere used metaphorically in 1Cr 5:7, "a new lump."
Key word definitions of UNDER:
Thayer's Greek Lexicon; STRONGS NT 2736: κάτω; κάτω (from κατά), adverb (fr. Homer down), comparitive κατωτέρω; (cf. Winer's Grammar, 472 (440) @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g2736/kjv/tr/0-1/;
1. down, downward: Matthew 4:6; Luke 4:9; John 8:6, 8; Acts 20:9.
2. below, beneath (cf. Winers Grammar, as above);
3. of place: Mark 14:66; Acts 2:19; ἕως κάτω (A. V. to the bottom), Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:38 (Ezekiel 1:27; Ezekiel 8:2); τά κάτω, the parts or regions that lie beneath (opposed to τά ἄνω, heaven), i. e. the earth, John 8:23.
4. of temporal succession: ἀπό διετοῦς καί κατωτέρω, from a child of two years and those that were of a lower age (cf. Winer's Grammar, 370 (347)), Matthew 2:16; ἀπό εἰκοσαετοῦς καί κάτω, 1 Chronicles 27:23...”
Key word definitions of phrases THE SON and THE SUN:
THE SON is, according to @ https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/dictionary-of-bible-themes/2218-Jesus-Christ-Son-God:
2218 Jesus Christ, Son of God: A title emphasising Jesus Christ’s deity, his office as Messiah and his pre-eminence as the object of the church’s faith and worship and as the content of its gospel. “Son of God” in the OT; Israel as God’s son Ex 4:22-23 See also Jer 31:9,20; Hos 11:1; The future Messiah/king as God’s Son Ps 2:7 See also Ps 89:27; Ac 13:33; Heb 1:5; Heb 5:5 Jesus Christ perfectly fulfils all the OT promises concerning God’s son, whether referring originally to Israel or to the Messiah.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God: Jesus Christ affirms he is God’s Son Jn 10:36 See also Lk 22:70 pp Mt 26:63-64 pp Mk 14:61-62; Jn 19:7; Rev 2:18
The Father affirms Jesus Christ is his Son Mt 3:17 pp Mk 1:11 pp Lk 3:22 See also Mt 17:5 pp Mk 9:7 pp Lk 9:35; 2Pe 1:17
Others affirm Jesus Christ is God’s Son Mt 14:33 See also Mk 15:39 pp Mt 27:54; Jn 1:34; Ro 1:4; Heb 4:14; 2Jn 3
Demons affirm Jesus Christ is God’s Son Mk 5:7 pp Mt 8:29 pp Lk 8:28 See also Mk 3:11; Lk 4:41 ...”
THE SUN, according to Torrey's New Topical Textbook @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=TT0000550;
“...Called the Greater Light (Gen 1:16), God created (Gen 1:14,16; Psa 74:16); Placed in the firmament (Gen 1:17); Appointed to rule the day (Gen 1:16; Psa 136:8; Jer 31:35); Appointed to divide seasons (Gen 1:14)...”
Now that we have contextually defined the “key” words of the title, “NEW UNDER THE SON” and its Subtopic title, ‘New Under The Sun’, let us now enter into the gist of today’s message.
Today is September 16, 2021. As we fast approach the end of this month and the beginning of the 4th quarter of this year, inquisitive minds all over the globe would pay a handsome price to know exactly what the historical records will factually consist of at the ending moment of December 31, 2021. People are looking here and there, searching everywhere, just to find a voice that can fill their ears with what they think they want to hear. However, truth is, there’s only One who knows exactly what everyone need to hear, truth wise, about all that is in the process of unfolding. Yes, there is only One who has an infinite omniscience in wisdom and knowledge who can tell us verbatim, of all there is to know, that will transpire throughout the globe, and its surrounding Universe, from today throughout, to the grand finale moment of this year’s 2021 Gregorian Calendar. His name is Jesus/Yeshua a.k.a. GOD The FATHER/GOD The Son/GOD The Holy Ghost. And He is speaking His omniscient mind through His conduits all over the globe to all who have an ear to hear His heart, mind, will, and desires for His vision for Humanity and His Universe.
GOD The FATHER, by His Holy Spirit, declared through Isaiah the Prophet, in Isaiah 46:9-10(KJV), “...Remember the former things of old: for I am GOD, and there is none else; I am GOD, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure...”
Isaiah 46:9-10 reveals that all things are predetermined before time were set into motion by the Holy council who pre-established the written counsel that reveals the revelation of the Will of the heart and mind of GOD The FATHER through His Son, Jesus/Yeshua; and King Solomon backs it up according to Ecclesiastes 1:9:
Ecclesiastes 1:9, “...That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun...” And he was 100% correct that there is nothing “new” under the sun because everything that will ever happen has already happened in Heaven, in the mind of GOD who, according to Isaiah 46:9-10, “...declares the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” So, when anything happens on Earth, it is not "new" because it has already happened in the omniscient mind of GOD.
The times that we are living in are perilous. Even the Spiritually blind can see that things are not what they call “normal” anymore. Truth is we are in the end times of the Age of Grace a.k.a. Church Age. We are headed toward the culminating showdown of the fulfillment of ancient prophesies that will lead to the Revelation 19-20 Messiah Millennium. That is why it behooves us all to choose to be in the Will and family of GOD The FATHER through His Son, Christ Jesus/Yeshua. Yes, dwelling in His Psalm 91 "Secret Place" is the safest place to be. How do you get there? By becoming a “new” creation in The Son while we have life in our bodies under the sun. After life leaves the body, there is no more time left to choose to be in Christ or not. Wisdom is to be in Christ Jesus' and your name be written in His Lamb's Book of Life.
Why does Humanity have to become a “new” creation in The Son of GOD, to the glory of The FATHER? Because, according to John 14:6(NKJV), Jesus said, “’...I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to The FATHER except through Me.”
So, John 14:6 reveals that the only way to become a Child of GOD, to the glory of The FATHER, is through His Son, Christ Jesus. And when anyone becomes a Child of GOD, in Christ Jesus, to the glory of The FATHER, that person is now in the family, that is according to Galatians 3:26-29(NLT), “...For you are all Children of GOD through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and GOD’S promise to Abraham belongs to you.”
2 Corinthians 5:14-21(Message Bible), “...Our firm decision is to work from this focused center: One man (Jesus/Yeshua) died for everyone. That puts everyone in the same boat. He included everyone in His death so that everyone could also be included in His life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own. Because of this decision we don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at The Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don’t look at Him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with The Messiah gets a fresh start, is created “new”. The old life is gone; a new life emerges! Look at it! All this comes from the GOD who settled the relationship between us and Him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. GOD put the World square with Himself through The Messiah, giving the World a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. GOD has given us the task of telling everyone what He is doing. We’re Christ’s representatives. GOD uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into GOD’S work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ Himself now: Become friends with GOD; He’s already a friend with you. How? you ask. In Christ. GOD put the wrong on Him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with GOD.”
Isn’t it good to know that once Christ Jesus is received, by faith through Grace, we are Children of GOD, according to Galatians 3:26-29(NLT), “...For you are all Children of GOD through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true Children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and GOD’S promise to Abraham belongs to you.”
However, once we become Children of GOD, through faith, in “The Son”, and while we are alive under “the sun”, we should remember that it is a privilege and honor that GOD’S promises to Abraham belongs to us too. Our new birth in Christ Jesus engrafted us into the family of GOD, to become one, not to replace it. Apostle Paul admonishing instructs that we remain humble as we enjoy such majestic rights to the blessings of Abraham and, through the Blood of Jesus, entrance into the Throne Room of GOD in Heaven. It is written according to Romans 11:25(NLT), “...I want you to understand this mystery, dear Brothers and Sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ...”
In other words, after the fulness of the Gentiles comes in or the predetermined set number of souls that are to be saved receive Salvation, then the 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 prophesy (rapture) will be fulfilled and the Age of Grace a.k.a. Church Age a.k.a. Luke 17:21/Romans 14:17 “Kingdom within” dispensation will be over! After the rapture takes place, and we are gone for a space of time, the Church will return from Heaven, with The KING of Kings and LORD of Lords, according to Revelation 19:11-21, to begin reigning over the Universe, from the Nation of Israel, according to Revelation 20:1-6 Messiah Millennium, the original descendants of Abraham who remain will experience the fulfillment of written prophetic declarations by ancient prophets. But before it is all said and done, upon Christ’s Revelation 19:11-21 return, they will experience the Salvation of The LORD like never before! Allow Apostle Paul to give an understanding as to why according to Romans 11:1-24:
Romans 11:1-24(NLT), “...I ask, then, has GOD rejected His own people, the Nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin. No, GOD has not rejected His own people, whom He chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to GOD about the people of Israel and said, “LORD, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.” And do you remember GOD’S reply? He said, “No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to Baal!” It is the same today, for a few of the people of Israel have remained faithful because of GOD’S grace—His undeserved kindness in choosing them. And since it is through GOD’S kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, GOD’S grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved. So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of GOD they are looking for so earnestly. A few have—the ones GOD has chosen—but the hearts of the rest were hardened. As the Scriptures say, “GOD has put them into a deep sleep. To this day He has shut their eyes so they do not see, and closed their ears so they do not hear.” Likewise, David said, “Let their bountiful table become a snare, a trap that makes them think all is well. Let their blessings cause them to stumble, and let them get what they deserve. Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see, and let their backs be bent forever.” Did GOD’S people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so GOD made salvation available to the Gentiles. But He wanted His own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves. Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down GOD’S offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the World will share when they finally accept it. I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. GOD has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this, for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them. For since their rejection meant that GOD offered salvation to the rest of the World, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead! And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too. But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing GOD has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of GOD’S special olive tree. But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root. “Well,” you may say, “those branches were broken off to make room for me.” Yes, but remember—those branches were broken off because they didn’t believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don’t think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen. For if GOD did not spare the original branches, He won’t spare you either. Notice how GOD is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in His kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off. And if the people of Israel turn from their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, for GOD has the power to graft them back into the tree. You, by nature, were a branch cut from a wild olive tree. So if GOD was willing to do something contrary to nature by grafting you into His cultivated tree, He will be far more eager to graft the original branches back into the tree where they belong...”
Oh my how time flies when you are in the gist of fulfilling your mission! Oh how great are GOD’S riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand all His decisions and His ways! For who can know all The LORD’S thoughts? Who knows enough to give Him advice? And who has given Him so much that He needs to pay it back? For everything comes from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory to Him forever! Amen.
As I bring today’s message “NEW IN THE SON” w/the Subtopic title: ‘New Under The Sun’ to a close, I must do so with 2 Corinthians 5:17, “...If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new...”
Today’s Q & A question is this: Have you become a new creation in The Son of GOD?
__ Yes
__ No
Thank you for taking time to experience Thursday's Open Book Q & A! I hope you have been strengthened, enlightened/re-enlightened and/or encouraged to continually be steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of The LORD, knowing that in doing so, Jesus declared in Matthew 10:30, you will receive a hundredfold now in this Age of time, and after all is said and done, there is a Heavenly reward that is worth the sacrifices made! Blessings of joy and peace to you and all your beloved ones. And remember, no one, absolutely no one and nothing is worthy of you losing your joy and peace in these perilous times - period! If the LORD says the same, see you next Thursday, 9.23.2021.
Let us pray. “Heavenly FATHER, not our will, let Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done, on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Forgive us of our trespasses. We forgive all who have trespassed against us. Thank You for leading us, keeping us, empowering us, and Divinely protecting us throughout this journey of Faith. For Thine is the Power that works through us, and we give all the glory to You forever and ever more.” Amen.

Today's message is titled: "KINGDOM: Righteousness, Joy and Peace”
Subtopic: ‘Kingdom Now/Kingdom Then’
By: Rosa Appling-Banks
https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/kingdom-righteousness-joy-and-peace/
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 23/1 Peter 2:5 Shepherd and 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, 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(Jesus).”
At our last gathering, 8.15.2021, we covered the message titled " READILY, BE PREPARED.” If you missed it, catch up on it @ https://rosabanks.podbean.com/e/readily-be-prepared/
Now, as we go forward, for the sake of getting an overall understanding of the gist of each message, I like to first define the key words that states the title and subtopic’s title. Defining the “key” words of today's message titled "KINGDOM: Righteousness, Joy and Peace” with the subtopic titled ‘Kingdom Now/Kingdom Then’ will assist in revealing the specificity of their relevance within the message so that it is properly perceived within the right perspective. Also, in doing so, the context of the content of this message will aid in one having the ability to cognizantly make application of its wisdom being reflected in one’s attitude and lifestyle as a Philippians 3:20 Kingdom citizen in the Earth realm. The key words that states the title and subtopic’s title of today’s message are KINGDOM; RIGHTEOUSNESS; JOY; PEACE; and the key Scripture reference Romans 14:17.
Key word definition of KINGDOM:
KINGDOM, according to Romans 14:17(KJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+14&version=KJV;NLT, is defined as “...Righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
Key word definition of RIGHTEOUSNESS:
RIGHTEOUSNESS, according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=VT0002409; Strong's Number: g1343; Greek: dikaiosune; is defined as, “...the character or quality of being right or just;" it was formerly spelled "rightwiseness," which clearly expresses the meaning...that gracious gift of God to men whereby all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ are brought into right relationship with God. This righteousness is unattainable by obedience to any law, or by any merit of man's own, or any other condition than that of faith in Christ.... The man who trusts in Christ becomes 'the righteousness of God in Him,' 2Cr 5:21, i.e., becomes in Christ all that God requires a man to be, all that he could never be in himself. Because Abraham accepted the Word of God, making it his own by that act of the mind and spirit which is called faith, and, as the sequel showed, submitting himself to its control, therefore God accepted him as one who fulfilled the whole of His requirements, Rom 4:3....”
Key word definition of JOY:
JOY, according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=VT0001551, is a Noun; Strong's Number: g5479 Greek: chara; and is defined as. "joy, delight" (akin to chairo, "to rejoice")
Key word definition of PEACE:
PEACE, according to International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia @ https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/dictionary/viewtopic.cfm?topic=IT0006756, is defined as, “...pes (shalom; eirene): 1. In the Old Testament: Is a condition of freedom from disturbance, whether outwardly, as of a nation from war or enemies, or inwardly, within the soul. The Hebrew word is shalom (both adjective and substantive), meaning, primarily, "soundness," "health," but coming also to signify "prosperity," well-being in general, all good in relation to both man and God. In early times, to a people harassed by foes, peace was the primary blessing. In Ps 122:7, we have "peace" and "prosperity," and in 35:27; 73:3, shalom is translated "prosperity." 2. In the New Testament:
(1) The gospel in Christ is a message of peace from God to men (Lu 2:14; Ac 10:36, "preaching.... peace by Jesus Christ"). It is "peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," in Ro 5:1; the King James Version 10:15; peace between Jew and Gentile (Eph 2:14,15); an essential element in the spiritual kingdom of God (Ro 14:17).
(2) It is to be cherished and followed by Christians. Jesus exhorted His disciples, "Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another" (Mr 9:50); Paul exhorts, "Live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you" (2Co 13:11; compare Ro 12:18; 1Co 7:15).
(3) God is therefore "the God of peace," the Author and Giver of all good ("peace" including every blessing) very frequently (e.g. Ro 15:33; 16:20; 2Th 3:16, etc., "the Lord of peace"). "Peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" is a common apostolic wish or salutation (compare 1Co 1:3; 2Co 1:2, etc.).
(4) We have also "peace" as a greeting (Mt 10:13; Lu 10:5); "a son of peace" (Lu 10:6) is one worthy of it, in sympathy with it; the Lord's own greeting to His disciples was "Peace be unto you" (Lu 24:36; Joh 20:19,21,26), and ere He left them He gave them specially His blessing of "Peace" (Joh 14:27); we have also frequently "Go in peace" (Mr 5:34; Lu 7:50). In Lu 19:38, we have "peace in heaven" (in the acclamation of Jesus on His Messianic entry of Jerusalem).
(5) The peace that Christ brought is primarily spiritual peace from and with God, peace in the heart, peace as the disposition or spirit. He said that He did not come "to send peace on the earth, but a sword," referring to the searching nature of His call and the divisions and clearances it would create. But, of course, the spirit of the gospel and of the Christian is one of peace, and it is a Christian duty to seek to bring war and strife everywhere to an end. This is represented as the ultimate result of the gospel and Spirit of Christ; universal and permanent peace can come only as that Spirit rules in men's hearts...”
Key phrase definition of subtopic’s title Kingdom Now/Kingdom Then, which are dispensational terms that according to en.wikipedia.org @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensation_(period), “...dispensation is as a distinctive arrangement or period in history that forms the framework through which God relates to mankind.”
Key word definition of the phrase KINGDOM NOW:
KINGDOM NOW, is The Kingdom of GOD which is defined in this current dispensation of time as according to the revelation of Apostle Paul in Romans 14:17(KJV), “...The Kingdom of GOD is not meat and drink; but Righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
The Kingdom of GOD, in this current dispensation of The Age of Grace a.k.a. Church Age, the “Righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” KINGDOM dwells within, and manifests through the lifestyle of every Born-again Believer. How can this be proven? When confronted by the Pharisees during their inquisition about The Kingdom of the Messiah Millennium’s Revelation 20:1-6 dispensation of time, LORD Jesus revealed to them where the current manifestation of The Kingdom would be revealed in those who would believe on His life, death, burial, and resurrection, during the dispensation of The Age of Grace. It is written according to Luke 17:20-21(KJV) @ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+17&version=KJV;NLT, “...And when Jesus was demanded of the Pharisees, when The Kingdom of GOD should come, He answered them and said, “The Kingdom of GOD cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, The Kingdom of GOD is within you...”
Key word definition of the phrase KINGDOM THEN:
We can now come to an understanding of the phrase KINGDOM THEN now that we understand, based on the written Word of GOD, where the KINGDOM of GOD is in this current dispensation of The Age of Grace, which is “Righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” within us, which is based on Romans 14:17 and Luke 17:20-21.
The phrase, KINGDOM THEN, is referring to the coming Kingdom of GOD which will manifest after the “Kingdom within" Romans 14:17 and Luke 17:20-21 Era comes to an end. The current Kingdom of GOD “within” requires faith to believe, to receive, to see, to experience, and to manifest it, but the coming Kingdom will be able to be seen with the natural eye and LORD Jesus a.k.a. Yeshua will be the reigning KING of kings and LORD of lords, all over the Universe, from The KINGDOM headquartered from Jerusalem, Israel. Period. It is written according to Isaiah 9:7 and Revelation 20:1-6:
Isaiah 9:6-7, “...the government shall be upon Jesus’/Yeshua’s shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty GOD, The Everlasting FATHER, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of The LORD of Hosts will perform this.”
Revelation 20:1-6(NLT), “...Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven with the key to the bottomless pit and a heavy chain in his hand. He seized the dragon—that old serpent, who is the devil, Satan—and bound him in chains for a thousand years. The angel threw him into the bottomless pit, which he then shut and locked so Satan could not deceive the Nations anymore until the thousand years were finished. Afterward he must be released for a little while. Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming The Word of GOD. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.) Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of GOD and of Christ and will reign with Him a thousand years...”
Now that we have a basic understanding about the definition of the “key” words and phrases of this message’s topic and subtopic, within the relevance of today’s message, let’s go further into why the message has been titled as such by allowing Apostle Paul to reveal to us the gist of today’s message, according to Ephesians 4:17-32, with the superscription The Old Way Has to Go:
Ephesians 4:17-32(Message Bible), Apostle Paul admonishes, “...And so I insist—and GOD backs me up on this—that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. They’ve refused for so long to deal with GOD that they’ve lost touch not only with GOD but with reality itself. They can’t think straight anymore. Feeling no pain, they let themselves go in sexual obsession, addicted to every sort of perversion. But that’s no life for you. You learned Christ! My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to Him, been well instructed in The Truth precisely as we have it in Jesus. Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything—and I do mean everything—connected with that old way of life has to go. It’s rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life—a GOD-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as GOD accurately reproduces His character in you. What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ’s body we’re all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself. Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life. Did you use to make ends meet by stealing? Well, no more! Get an honest job so that you can help others who can’t work. Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift. Don’t grieve GOD. Don’t break His heart. His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for Himself. Don’t take such a gift for granted. Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as GOD in Christ forgave you.”
Now, let us close with the word of The LORD that was given to Apostle Paul who was Holy Spirit inspired to reveal how to live a life that is pleasing to GOD. So, while keeping our Ephesians 6:10-18 armor on, Romans 12:1-2 is our preliminary foundation for being able to competently doing so:
Romans 12:1-2(Message Bible), “...So here’s what I want you to do, GOD helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before GOD as an offering. Embracing what GOD does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on GOD. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, GOD brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you...”
Now, as we go forth doing so, disciples will be inspired and made as we, according to Jesus' prayer in John 17:21-23, become one in the Spirit, according to Acts 1:8, be endued with Power, and according to Romans 8:14, be led by the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. Doing so will equip us to competently present ourselves as a representable witness of Christ’ Kingdom on Earth, to all people, in every Nation, in the Spirit of Excellence, Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might, Knowledge, and in the reverential fear of The LORD, to the glory of GOD, our Heavenly FATHER. Be ready. Stay ready. Get fit. Stay fittest fit. Why? Because according to 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 Jesus a.k.a. Yeshua is coming to receive all who are ready. And He is coming for us sooner than we realize! Lol HALLELUJAH!
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 "KINGDOM: Righteousness, Joy and Peace” with the Subtopic: ‘Kingdom Now/Kingdom Then’ 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, 9.19.2021, 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 love, joy, peace, favor, wisdom, health, wealth, and Spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear. 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”
