SCRIPTURAL INSIGHT AND STUDY
R & R =REVIEW AND REPETITION
"THe Job of the Seer," review from last week.
"Captive by him to do his will," escape the snare of the devil.
The deceiver and deceivee are both guilty of sin.
Two "Seer's" the false prophet, and the true prophet.
Thorns and thistles.
The preacher pricks and thorns, as wolves in sheep's clothing.
Listening to the guys and gals preaching on the radio,
teaching all the sheeple to be content and happy in Jesus.
Jeremiah 23, tells of the false prophets, in the last days you'll understand.
Prophets of Baal in the land promote sin.
Satan's servants that sucker God's people.
A true prophet makes the complex simple.
A false prophet makes the simple complex.
The Baals just proclaim the sinner's prayer and accept Jesus.
Acts 2:38.
"Examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so."
A woman is not permitted to be a teacher nor pastor according to God's word.
Numbers 33:55, and Matthew 7:15-19.
"Pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your side."
"Beware of the false prophets."
Joshua 23:13, "Pricks in your sides."
The snares and traps of Satan have caught many.
Jeremiah 23:20&22, a last day prophesy.
A seer sees things in scripture that nobody else sees.
You need to be baptized in accordance with Acts 2:38.
"A health and wealth adviser."
"Divine economic strategist."
"A courier who carries a message."
"I'm a law professor, because I profess the Law of God."
"Depart from Me, ye who practice lawlessness."
"I'm a kingdom law professor."
The serpents are in the seer positions, as blind guides leading the blind,
where both will fall into the pit.
 
 
 
SINGING PRAISE AND WORSHIP
"Where Is The Love, Lord?" song one by Mike Plattje.
Sunday morning seer's service welcome.
This is not to be confused with the average church service across this land.
We say, "Jesus Christ," as we come in that name.
Prayers for more of Your Holy Spirit,
as we are called to be lights to this dark world.
We're taking her all back in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer for direction of mind and thoughts to the scriptures
for a blessing to the gathered saints.
"This Is The Day That The Lord Has Made," song two.
"Halleluyah Lies The Glory, Revive Us Again," song three.
"Down In My Heart," song four.
"I got the love of Jesus in my heart."
"I got the patience of the Holy Prophets."
"The Wedding Banquet," song five.
Serve our King Jesus from your heart, with the right spirit.
"I love the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength."
Prayer against the dark forces,
as we bind them and cast them underneath the feet of Jesus.
"Friendship with the world is hostility toward God."
James 4:4, "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God."
Prayer for the lost sheep to return to the assembly.
"I cannot come to the banquet, don't trouble me now."
Hebrews 10:25, "Not forsaking our own assembling together,
as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another;
and all the more as you see the day drawing near."
 
 
 
COMMUNION SUPPER EXHORTATION
We come to the banquet and remember the great price
that was prayed by our Savior, King Jesus, the Lamb of God.
"I am bought and paid for in Christ Jesus."
We have been bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.
The price paid for our redemption was high.
Jesus' blood was precious in the eyes of the heavenly Father.
Because the days were evil, they would be shortened.
The thoughts of Abraham, who started out as Abram.
He became wealthy, as he labored in the Lord.
And yet, he had no son nor any progeny.
Finally, as he stood on the promise, the cries of a baby boy came to his ears.
The promise of many nations, more numerous than the sand on the seashore,
and the stars in the heavens.
The long wait made him more appreciative when the promise came to pass.
The day came for the test, and the wood was carried by Isaac for the sacrifice,
just as Christ carried the cross up the hill.
Isaac obeyed Abraham, as he commanded him to lye down upon the altar.
Abraham would have given up all his earthly riches in order to keep his only begotten son.
He raised up the knife and it was on the down stroke, but
then it was stopped.
God said stop, I'll do it with My own Son.
The Lord will provide.
The ram was there with his head caught in the thorns.
Jesus had the thorn crown in the same way, as the Lamb of God.
Precious was this sacrifice in the eyes of God.
The world says, "I cannot come."
We remember the bloody sacrifice, as all the blood spilled that day was
precious in God's sight.
You bought us back with the precious blood of Your Only Begotten Son.
We thank you for this sacrifice and for inviting us to this banquet.
With reverence, gratefulness, and obedience, and gladness,
we do this in remembrance of our King and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Communion is for those who have been baptized into Christ's Body,
as we continue to abide in Him.
We partake together, beseeching all the blessings of the great sacrifice.
"O, Lord, It's Hard To Be Humble," song six.
 
 
 
SERMON NOTES, January 31, 2010.
1 Corinthians 1:26-27, "For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong."
He will nullify the things that are with things that are not.
Grow up in Christ, and stop your quarreling amongst yourselves.
1 Peter 3:7, "You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered."
The wise and foolish virgins, betrothed you to Christ, and adorned properly.
Adorned means order, as getting your priorities right and your home in order.
Christ is the head, and then the man, the woman, and then the children,
as godly order in the home.
Double-mindedness hinders your prayers as well as disorder in the home.
 

 
 
"I am a seer." "I am a law professor." "I am a 'Special Ed' law professor,
teaching law to the idiots that go to the churches today."
The economic laws of God would change the entire economic landscape across the land. The judeo churches don't profess the law of God today.
The exact time when Jesus returns will be revealed later in this sermon message.
"I am a deprogrammer."
The thinking that we're all God's children is programming.
Everybody thinks they are Christians.
They think they are already Christ's, as they believe the false prophet's deception.
 
 
 
Sheep are flock animals.
We want to be part of the flock, and blend in with the herd.
You have to be willing to be foolish, in order to confound the wise.
God's Spirit is foolishness to the natural man.
1 Corinthians 2:14, "But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised
You will be different when you are a servant of Christ,
because God's Holy Spirit dwells within you.
The preacher had a 'flirting' dream, because the Lord wanted the preacher
to know that His sheep are flirting with the world.
The secret Christians don't want the world to know who they are, 
because  they want to fit into the flock of the world.
Some hate the preacher.
The Howard Stern effect.
Howard Stern, the sewer trash radio jock jew, quotes the preacher sometimes.
People that like him listen to him for an hour.
People that hate him listen to him for three hours.
 
 

 
 
"I'm a knower helper," as I help people to know that they don't know.
"Do you know up from down?"
Define up and define down.
The average man cannot define up or down.
You need a "Knower" as you don't know if you're rising or lowering.
"Better Living Through Science." Where is all this better living through science?
In the fifties, the people weren't crippled and sick,
and families weren't fragmented. Momma stayed home with the children,
and Daddy worked to support the family.
Are you going up to heaven, or down to the hell hole?
Up is any direction away from the center of the earth.
Down is any direction toward the center of the earth.
"Nullify the things that are."
God uses the things that are not, to do this.
Become one of the things that are not.

 
 
Luke 11:45, coming to the defense.
"You insult(offend) us too."
Jesus offended some people.
Luke 11:46, "But He said, "Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers."
"Build the tombs...witness......build their tombs....
they will persecute.....against this generation....(means race)."
Luke 11:52, "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering."
God uses the things that are not to nullify the things that are.
They took away the key of knowledge.
They keep you from the free gift of God's Holy Spirit, Acts 2:38,
and devoid of the knowledge and direction of the leading of God's Holy Spirit.
Everyone thinks he is a Christian, because he has heard John 3:16.
Know this, that you know nothing.
1 Corinthians 8:2, "If anyone supposes that he knows anything,
he has not yet known as he ought to know."
As soon as someone says, "I know." then you cannot tell them anything.
"Did we not prophesy in your name?"
Matthew 7:23, "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS."
The world plays the trick in making the young ones
think that they know something.

 
 
 
The young people listened to the old people tell stories in Sunday school today.
As a younger preacher, the pastor made sure that his mentors were older men.
He considered them as his support group.
The younger man will be gaining knowledge from the older men.
The mentor was willing to teach,
as long as the young student was receptive  and willing to learn.
You have to know that you don't know it all.
It's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way.
God brings to nullification the things that are. 
1 Corinthians 1:28, "And the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are."
Become one of the things that are not.
 

 
 
A fishing trip story, with Pastor Earl Jones along,
and a joke was told about two strings going into a bar.
The bartender kicked them out, "No strings allowed!"
The two strings walked out of the bar,
but one decided to go back inside.
"Aren't you the string I just kicked out?"
The one string answered, "No, I'm a frayed knot!"
Earl Jones didn't get this play on words.
God uses the things that are not to nullify the things that are.
Romans 10:1-2, "Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God,
but not in accordance with knowledge."
The preachers and public fools are there to keep you from having knowledge.
In Jeremiah 23, these false prophets serve the people to no purpose whatsoever.
They have a zeal for God, but without knowledge.
2 Peter 3:18, "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord."
Philippians 1:9, "And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment."
2 Peter 1:5-8, reveals the keys to the kingdom of God.
"Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 1:11, "For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you."
Our knowledge is found in the word of God. Read and study God's word daily.

 
 
 
1 Timothy 2:3-4, "This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 John 5:6, "This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ;
not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.
It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth."
A truth this morning you may not have come to.
Become the not to nullify the things that are.
2 Peter 3:18, "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."
We grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 25:1-12, about the ten virgins.
The number 10 is significant.
"Five were foolish, and five were prudent."
"They began to sleep."
We need to be awake.
"I am an oiler."
"I deal in Holy Oil."
"Oil makes the world brighter."
The foolish virgins did not have enough oil.
"Trimmed their lamps....our lamps are going out."
#2885, to put in order, trimmed.
"Buy some from the dealers for yourselves."
"But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.'
Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour."
1 Corinthians 8:3, "But if anyone loves God, he is known by Him."
No one can force you to love God. Love is a choice.
If you do not love God, then He does not know you.
Those who love God are known by Him.
The foolish virgins didn't have enough love for God
to have the proper supply of oil for their lamps.


 
 
Satan counterfeits everything.
The rapture doctrine is a counterfeit, but the counterfeit always masks
itself patterned after the genuine.
Luke 12:35, and the coming of Jesus.
"Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit."
Matthew 25, when the bridegroom comes to take them to the wedding feast.
What happend to the other half of the virgins, the five foolish ones?
"Like men who are waiting for their master who returns from the wedding feast."
Luke 12:40, "You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect." "Be on the alert when he comes."
He is going to come when you don't expect it!
I know exactly when He is coming. He is coming when you don't expect Him.
Luke 12:43, "Blessed is that slave whom his master
finds so doing when he comes."

 
 
 
We have a job to do.
The parable found in the Gospel of Luke, dealing with the vineyard harvest.
The Prophet Isaiah says that Israel is God's vineyard.
The laborers worked all day long, and in the eleventh hour he hired more laborers.
The last were paid first and in the full amount 
that the long hour workers received.
The good news is that He will give you the equal reward,
if you start to work right now to get that full reward.
This is the year to win souls for Christ.
The Gideon story review.
They made up their mind to nullify the things that are.
They had enough faith to take action upon their belief,
as they clearly saw their victory over the things that were.
He uses the foolish, so we have a chance.
Between us and God, we can take on the whole world and win.
John 8:12, "Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
"I am the light of the world."
Don't hide your light under a basket.
The 300 shined their lights and terrified the entire Midian camp.
Pages 20 and 21, of the new Dragon Slayer Newsletter,
tell of the challenge of gaining the public access channel
on your local community television station for the sermon broadcast.
This will drive the controllers crazy,
as they won't know where the broadcast is being aired.
1000 viewers on each station in 300 different cities
becomes 300,000 new viewers across the states.
 
 
"Why Me Lord?"  was sung as the closing song for this sermon.
