I Have Decided To Follow Jesus No Turning Back



     This bible study explains the many benefits anyone receives when the Lord Jesus is first in their lives. Jesus said at Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. Forty two years ago Brother Bob decided to leave his entire Jewish family, mother, father, aunts, uncles, nephews, and cousins to follow the Lord Jesus and this was the best decision Brother Bob ever made in his life. Matthew 6:33 says But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. The Lord Jesus who is the Word of God is the truth and for forty two years the Lord Jesus has provided everything Brother Bob needed for peace and blessings.

      Notice the two pictures above of a sycomore tree with sycomore fruit or figs and the Lord Jesus telling two fisherman Peter and Andrew to follow Him and leave their fish in their nets. The first picture of the sycomore tree reminds Brother Bob of the prophet Amos. The prophet Amos left his occupation of being a poor shepherd herdman that gathered figs from sycomore trees and followed the Lord Jesus. 

     Amos 7:14 says Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman (shepherd), and a gatherer of sycomore fruit (figs): And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

     Jesus usually chooses poor humble people to be great and serve the Lord like Amos. To anyone reading this, if you feel like a nobody that the world has rejected, you are a blessed candidate to be used for the Lord Jesus. Hannah said at 1 Samuel 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and He hath set the world upon them. 

     1 Corinthians 1:26 says For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in His presence.

     The second picture above shows us how blessed Peter and Andrew were to leave everything and their occupation of fishing to follow the Lord Jesus and become fishers of men. Matthew 4:18 says And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And He saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him.

     Another disciple who left everything and his occupation as a publican tax collector to follow the Lord Jesus was Levi (also called Matthew). Luke 5:27 says And after these things He (the Lord Jesus) went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and He said unto him, Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and followed him. This proves that you can be rich like Levi as a tax collector or poor like Amos as a shepherd and be a blessed candidate to follow Jesus.

     Obadiah was a rich governor for king Ahab but was blessed to follow the Lord Jesus and remember many true prophets hidden in a cave by feeding them daily with bread and water. Let's all be like Amos, Peter, Andrew, Levi, and Obadiah and be willing to leave everything in this fading world and follow the Lord Jesus while we witness Jesus everywhere and win lost souls to God. 

     Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Jesus said at Luke 9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

     King David was blessed to leave his occupation as a poor little shepherd boy and follow the Lord Jesus to become a great king and lead Israel. Psalm 78:70 says He chose David also His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: From following the ewes great with young He brought him to feed Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.


     Notice the picture above of an innocent harmless little baby lamb that reminds Brother Bob of the Lord Jesus. When you look at the picture above of the innocent precious baby lamb, don't you just want to hold and hug this beautiful baby lamb. Brother Bob a year ago took several little children to a farm and we all got to see a precious baby lamb and pet and hold the baby lamb, giving us peace. Take a look at the picture above of the innocent baby lamb and think about the Lord Jesus who is harmless, without sin, and called the Lamb of God.

     It's incredible to think that the Lord Jesus walked on this earth and never sinned because Jesus is perfect with no blemishes or any sin. But Romans 3:23 says that all men have sinned. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Note that Ephesians 4:26 says Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Therefore only the Lord Jesus who had no sin can be angry. Since all people have sinned from birth, they should not be angry.

     You might want to write out the following scriptures that prove that the Lord Jesus has no sin and is perfect. When you read this lift your hands to the Lord Jesus and praise Him for being perfect. Hebrews 4:15 says For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 1 John 3:5 says And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. 1 Peter 2:21 says For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth.


     Notice the picture above of John the Baptist's blessed words to the Lord Jesus. John 1:29 says The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the the world. John the Baptist also said the following blessed words about the Lord Jesus at John 3:30. He must increase, but I must decrease. Let's all be like John the Baptist and realize that the Lord Jesus is the answer to everything and that we should all deny our flesh daily and look to Jesus Christ crucified to overcome this world.

     Jeremiah learned to deny himself and look to the Lord Jesus, realizing that his flesh had no answers for his problems. Jeremiah 10:23 says O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. Solomon warned us all from Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Paul warned us all and stated at 1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

     Brother Bob tells everyone reading this to listen to the Lord Jesus daily and not depend on your flesh. To hear Jesus and block out the devil, look with your heart daily to the cross of Jesus and let the blood of Jesus cover you all daily. You see the devil is in the air above us trying to block our communication with Jesus. But when anyone looks with his heart by faith to the cross of Calvary and sees the Lord Jesus crucified, the blood of Jesus makes the devil flee (Revelation 12:11) and that person can hear Jesus with a direct communication to the Father that the devil can not block.

     Brother Bob tells everyone reading this bible study, remember the words of Joshua and choose Jesus above everything else. Joshua 24:15 says 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.

     Let's learn to focus on Jesus Christ crucified daily with our hearts like John the Baptist pictured above. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Notice the next scripture that proves that the Lord Jesus is your answer for all blessings. Galatians 3:14 says That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Revelations Revealed By Jesus


1 Kings 22 speaks about Micaiah, Ahab, Jehoshaphat, and Zedekiah.

     Notice the picture above of Micaiah, Ahab, Jehoshaphat and Zedekiah in the front with a fist ready to strike Micaiah. Also notice the 400 false prophets and the crowd on the tops of buildings all coming against one man Micaiah. Ahab forced Jehoshaphat to bring Micaiah before a crowd of 400 false prophets to be condemned to prison. Micaiah spoke the word of the Lord to Ahab and told him not to fight in war but to be at peace and return home and love his enemies. Ahab was enraged at Micaiah's words of peace and condemned Micaiah to prison for life with Jehoshaphat's approval. 

     First, let me say that throughout all the old testament bible stories we can see prophecies about the Lord Jesus. This is because the Word of God is Jesus. John 1:1 says In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word (Jesus) was God. Revelation 19:13 tells us that the Word of God is Jesus. And He (Jesus) was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God. The picture above of Micaiah, Ahab, and Jehoshaphat reminds us about the Lord Jesus who was before Pilate and the Pharisees, Saducees, and Jews at a trial where all the crowd is saying crucify Him.

     Micaiah represents the Lord Jesus because Micaiah's name in Hebrew is Who Is Like God. It's also interesting to note that Micaiah's father Imlah's name means Whom God Will Fill Up signifying the Holy Ghost as the Father of Micaiah because Jesus is Filled with the Holy Ghost. Jehoshaphat represents Pilate because Jehoshaphat's name in Hebrew is Jehovah Has Judged. Jehoshaphat acted like Pilate and brought Micaiah before the false prophets and crowd to be judged and like Pilate judged Micaiah and washed his hands of Micaiah's innocent blood. Jehoshaphat knew it was wrong to judge and sentence Micaiah to prison but Jehoshaphat still agreed with Ahab and the false prophets and allowed the crowd to condemn Micaiah to prison.

     Ahab represents the Pharisees, Saducees, and Jews because the name Ahab means Father's brother who agreed with the Jews and Chief Priests to condemn Micaiah to prison like the Pharisees, Saducees, and Jews who condemned the Lord Jesus saying crucify him. It's interesting to note that Ahab's father who is Omri is defined as Pupil of Jehovah. Omri and Ahab were pupils from a family of students and teachers of the law or Pharisees that condemned Micaiah to prison.

     The man in the picture above with the clenched fist who hit Micaiah was Zedekiah whose name in Hebrew means Jehovah Is Righteous and Zedekiah was a self righteous Pharisee that hit Micaiah. 1 Kings 22:24 says But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee? This reminds me of Jesus at Luke 22:63 that says And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? Note that Zedekiah's father's name Chenaanah means trader and a worldly enemy of God. James 4:4 says Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

     Micaiah did not come out of prison like Jesus who was not freed from dying on the cross. Micaiah like Jesus stood up to the crowds and spoke the truth and was willing to lay down his life for the truth. We should all be like Micaiah and Jesus and speak the truth to powerful political leaders and crowds of nonbelievers who daily mock God. When the record of history is preserved it's amazing that people remember and want to read about Micaiah or Jesus instead of powerful political tyrants like Ahab, Herod, or Caesar. Like Brother Bob you might be a nobody on this earth but when history is recorded people will remember Brother Bob and all the saints that have a testimony for Jesus who have denied this world and its fading riches. 

     I recommend a website called blueletterbible where the Hebrew definitions of all the names in 1 Kings 22 are listed. When you go into blueletterbible, after you do a search for any word in the bible, above the bible verses, left click the strong's tab and then left click the numbers by each word to get the Hebrew and Greek meanings of each word of the bible. Blueletterbible is a blessed website and it's incredible how a number is by every word of the bible that you can click to study the Word of God.
 

     Notice the picture above and rejoice about the cluster of pure grapes called Eshcol that all the saved saints will enjoy in the promised land called the kingdom of God. Numbers 13:23 speaks about the word Eshcol and says And they (the spies) came unto the brook of Eshcol (called a cluster of grapes), and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff: and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. The Eshcol cluster of grapes represent the abundant blessings in the promised land called the kingdom of God.

     You might all say why does God stress that blessings come from Eshcol grapes. Jesus used my friend Tiffany today to tell me that the grapes in the kingdom of God after they are squeezed represent the pure wine of unspeakable joy that christians will forever receive with the Lord Jesus. This is a pure new wine of everlasting joy christians will receive with the Lord Jesus. As a former alcoholic, thank you Jesus that your new wine is pure squeezed grapes that do not ferment. No hangovers from the new wine of Jesus. The happiness and joy from the new Eshcol wine of Jesus will remain forevermore.

The Eshcol Grapes Create Pure Blessed Wine In The Kingdom Of God 
Avoid Fermented Wine From Grapes That Cause Sin On This Earth

     The following scriptures warn us to avoid getting drunk from wine, beer, or any liquor. Proverbs 20:1 says Wine is a mocker; strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. In other words avoid getting drunk with wine or strong drink because it causes Jesus who is wisdom (noted at 1 Corinthians 1:30) to leave you. Proverbs 23:29 says Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red (fermented), when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

     When you walk through the grocery store don't look at the wine and beer bottles. Don't attend a sporting event where they pass beer down the aisle to spectators. Habakkuk 2:15 says Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness. 2 Corinthians 6:17 says Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

     Note that 1 Timothy 5:23 says Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. According to this scripture, it's alright to drink just a little wine to heal sickness. But don't sin and drink excess (much) wine to get drunk when you are not sick. Ephesians 5:18 says And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess (called profligacy with reckless behavior); but be filled with the Spirit. Proverbs 23:21 warns us For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.


     The reason for the picture above of Mount Robson in British Columbia that Brother Bob climbed is to let everyone realize that all the mountains and hills like Mount Robson will depart and be removed but the peace of the Lord Jesus and the Word of God will last forever. The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee; neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

Mountains may depart and hills be removed 
But the Lord Jesus always gives us peace
Note the following scriptures about Jesus' peace 
That is always with christians 

     Romans 5:1 says Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:16 says Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 says Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means, The Lord be with you all.

     2 Corinthians 1:3 says Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. Notice the above verse says Jesus comforts us in all (not some) of our tribulations. Notice also the above verse does not say Jesus hath, or will, or can comfort us if He pleases. Saints reading this Jesus will comfort you all right now in all your tribulations in Jesus name.


Luke 2:25-38 speaks about Simeon And Anna

     Notice the picture above of Simeon being allowed to see Jesus before he departed from this earth. Also notice Anna who is also looking at the baby Jesus through a door in a hallway. Anna was blessed by her perseverance in prayer and fasting night and day and was rewarded with the blessing of seeing the baby Jesus along with Simeon. We can all rejoice and think about how blessed it was for Simeon to hold God (Jesus) in his arms as a baby. What a glorious blessing Simeon and Anna experienced.

     The Lord Jesus came to this earth with very poor parents. Notice in the picture above that Mary is holding a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons to offer a sacrifice for Jesus because Mary was so poor and could not afford a lamb. The reason poor Mary had to sacrifice two young pigeons is stated at Leviticus 12:8 and says And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles (turtledoves), or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty, might be rich.

     Simeon waited to see the consolation of Israel who is the Lord Jesus (Our Peace and Comfort). Simeon got to hold the Lord Jesus and receive the everlasting peace of the Lord Jesus.  Luke 2:25 and says And behold there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
    
Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,
Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel
That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again
Like Simeon And Anna Receive Everlasting Peace With Jesus
Scriptures About The Peace Saved Saints Receive With The Lord Jesus.

     The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 35:3 says Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm (strengthen) the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; He will come and save you.

     Jesus said at John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Jesus said at Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

     Matthew 11:28 tells us to be meek and lowly in heart to receive rest. Meek means to not argue or be angry. One of Brother Bob's favorite scriptures is 2 Timothy 2:24 that says And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth. Ephesians 4:31 says Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. 

Brother Bob's Motto For Success
Avoid Angry People And Forgive Forever
Always Love Your Enemies

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.

Anointed Bible Stories And Pictures


     Today Brother Bob gives you all a wonderful picture of Mary listening to Jesus and Martha busy with housework and the cares of this world neglecting Jesus. Jesus told Martha don't neglect the one thing that is necessary that is taking time daily with Jesus and meditating on the Word of God that is Jesus. We find the story of the picture above at Luke 10:39: And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard His word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to Him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things. But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

      One of Brother Bob's favorite scriptures that tell us to place Jesus first in our lives is Matthew 10:37 that says He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Colossians 3:1 says If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

     Are you taking time daily to seek Jesus and meditate on the Word of God? If you are like Mary pictured above and meditate and attend daily to Jesus and the Word of God, Joshua 1:8 promises you prosperity and good success. Joshua 1:8 says This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. If you want success in your life, meditate and memorize the Word of God daily.

     Next Brother Bob is going to give you all a lesson on one word attend and a woman named Lydia who attended daily to the Word of God. The word attend in Hebrew means to constantly hear, be attentive, hearken, and listen to Jesus and the Word of God like Mary in the above picture. Open your bibles to Proverbs 4:20 and learn this lesson. If you daily attend, listen, and be attentive to the Word of God, you will receive life, health, and overcome this world. Proverbs 4:20 says My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

     We can learn a lesson from a great woman of God named Lydia who daily attended unto Jesus and the Word of God and was comforted by God through Paul's ministry. Acts 16:14 says And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple (fabric dyed in purple), of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. Because Lydia attended and took time for Jesus, later on she was comforted by the Apostle Paul. Acts 16:40 says And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

     Also I encourage you to be like the christians at Berea and search the scriptures daily to obtain the blessings of being noble with the royalty of a king. Acts 17:10 says And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

     Remember to put Jesus first above everything in your life and all your needs will be met. To put Jesus first in your life, daily consider the poor, widows, and orphans who need our prayers and assistance daily. Remember Jesus said at Matthew 25:40 Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Remember if you seek Jesus first and assist the poor daily, I promise you that all your needs will be met and you will always be blessed on this earth. Matthew 6:33 says But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

      I pray in Jesus name all who forevermore read this will be like the people of the churches of Macedonia who liberally gave their riches to the poor and were greatly blessed. 2 Corinthians 8:1 says Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.


     Take a look at the picture above that shows Jesus providing manna for the children of Israel in the wilderness and keeping them alive. Let me ask a question and then give you an answer from the Word of God. The question is at Psalm 78:19: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? The answer is definitely yes and is found if you read the story of the widow woman at Zarephath at 1 Kings 17:10-16 who after she blessed the prophet Elijah with her last meal and cruse of oil, Jesus made food appear out of nowhere and the widow woman at Zarephath always had food and water during the famine. Jesus also made food appear out of nowhere for Elijah when Elijah wanted to die under a juniper tree and an angel baked a cake for Elijah and provided water that sustained Elijah for 40 days and nights at 1 Kings 19:6-8.

      Next Brother Bob gives you a testimony about a scripture that saved my life. I encourage you to always say and remember Philippians 4:19 when you need food to live, money to pay for a house or apartment, or a miracle of healing. Right now say Philippians 4:19 and believe it. Say But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. God and Jesus, not man, mother, father, brother, sister, friends, or relatives, but only Jesus will always be there for you and Jesus will always take care of you.

      Forty years ago, Brother Bob had no job, no way to pay rent or buy food, and I remember I laid out on a floor and the devil said I would die. To overcome the fear, I kept saying But my God shall supply all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Jesus did bless Brother Bob and my little brother let me live with him in an apartment and the next week I got a job that I worked on for 34 years and then was able to retire with a blessed pension. Psalm 37:25 says I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Hebrews 13:6 promises So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

     Realize that the bread or manna falling from the sky to bless the children of Israel is Jesus. Jesus is our answer to keep us alive and provide all our needs. Open your bibles to John 6:32 that says Jesus is the bread to sustain us all. Daily remember with your hearts Jesus Christ crucified to receive this bread to survive and overcome this world. John 6:32 says Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

     Don't be like the people pictured above who were not satisfied with the manna or Jesus and wanted a substitute for Jesus called quails. Whenever someone tries to receive peace and happiness from anything outside of Jesus it never works. The quails did not satisfy the children of Israel. They had to work to gather the quails and they died before they could even swallow one bite of the quails. Remember don't try in yourself by works to be blessed by God. The work was already done by Jesus at the cross of Calvary. Just believe in the finished work Jesus did for us all at the cross of Calvary and glorify Jesus and not your own works.

     The story about how the children of Israel died when they chose quails instead of Jesus is at Numbers 11:31 and says And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp. and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.

     The above story makes Brother Bob remember the story of the fool who gathered much food in barns and said he could eat drink and be merry. These children of Israel did useless hard labor for two days and piled up quail everywhere and thought they could live off the quail for years but like the fool in Luke 12:16 they died before they could even enjoy any of the fruit of their labor. After I read these stories, this makes Brother Bob want to just give away his money to the poor needy widows and orphans all around him. The story of the fool in Luke 12:16 says And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him. Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall these things be, which thou has provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

     Jesus told us to pray and fast to cast out the devil. Jesus told us at Mark 9:29 This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. The true fast to cast out the devil (blessing the poor and not starving your body of food) is stated at Isaiah 58:6-11: Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward (gathered and caught up in the rapture). 

     Isaiah 58:9 goes on to say Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger; and speaking vanity; And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.


     My last picture for today's bible study is of the great prophet Micaiah who spoke and warned King Ahab to not go to battle at Ramoth Gilead. Note in the picture above that this enraged Ahab and that King Jehoshaphat sitting by Ahab will almost lose his life for associating with wicked Ahab. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God; I speak this to your shame.

      I tell young kids and teenagers everywhere about the story above and that they should not associate with kids their age when they sell drugs, get drunk on alcohol, rob, or steal with guns. Brother Bob says do not judge people who are drug addicts, alcoholics, or criminals. Just remember while these people are sinning separate yourselves and do not partake in any wicked deed. Love these lost ones and meet them in a public place, or restaurant, or at church, and pray that the lost person change and start living for Jesus. Also remember if a convict, murderer, rapist, ex drug addict, or alcoholic repents and starts to live for Jesus, forgive that person and associate with that person and lift up Jesus. When someone comes to Jesus that person is a new creature in Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

     1 Kings 22:32 tells us how Jehoshaphat almost lost his life and experienced trouble for associating with wicked Ahab. 1 Kings 22:32 says And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel (Ahab). And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. Jehoshaphat had a track record of trusting in man more than Jesus. Earlier in his life he also trusted and relied more on king Ahaziah than Jesus and built great ships with Ahaziah and Jesus broke and destroyed these ships going to Tarshish.

     I conclude this bible study by telling you all to abide by Proverbs 3:5 that says Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to the navel (comfort your nerves), and marrow to thy bones (refreshment to your body like a refreshing cold drink of water on a hot day).

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Keep Praying And Meet Jesus The Rainbow


     Saints this is a very special lesson for you all that Jesus personally revealed to Brother Bob about the beautiful rainbow pictured above. Let me say to anyone reading this bible study we all must admit that Jesus is God and only Jesus could create such a beautiful rainbow with such magnificent colors. Psalm 14:1 says The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.

     Now I want everyone reading this anywhere in any country to realize that the rainbow represents Jesus. I'll prove this to you all by scriptures. First notice that with every rainbow you might see, there are always seven colors to the rainbow in a definite order. You will always see the order by lines to be Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo (a darker shade of blue), and Violet.

     Now the glorious thing about the rainbow is that the twelve precious stones listed in the foundations of the wall of the heavenly city at Revelation 21:19-20 and the same twelve precious stones with some different names listed in the breastplate of the High Priest that is Jesus forevermore listed at Exodus 28:15-20 all represent and display the seven colors of the rainbow. Jesus is the High Priest forever at Hebrews 7:22-24 that says By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death; But this man, because He continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

     Now the revelation Jesus gave to Brother Bob is that the rainbow we all will see in the kingdom of God will forever be around the magnificent throne of the Father and this rainbow is Jesus. Revelation 4:2 says And immediately I was in the spirit, and behold a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Down here on the earth we might every now and then see a rainbow which is obscured by man's pollution but in the kingdom of God the rainbow brightly appears clearly forever with such bright colors beyond mans' thoughts at all times and is so glorious to look upon.

     1 Corinthians 13:12 says For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known. Paul described the view of this glorious heavenly eternal rainbow to be so wonderful that the glorious description of the rainbow was unspeakable. 2 Corinthians 12:4 says How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

     The rainbow is Jesus because Jesus is the High Priest mentioned in Exodus 28:15-20 with the precious colors of the twelve gemstones in his breastplate that make up the twelve precious stones in the foundations of the wall of the heavenly city where the kingdom of God exists. In fact Jesus literally represents everything in the heavenly kingdom of God.

     Since Jesus stated in John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Jesus represents the twelve gates or doors to the kingdom of God. The only way to enter the kingdom of God is through the door or gate that is Jesus. Also, the pearl in each gate of the kingdom of God represents Jesus because an oyster makes a pearl when the oyster gets irritated by dirt in his shell and creates a pearl. Well, Jesus suffered irritation for our dirty sins at the cross and this created a beautiful pearl in every gate of the kingdom of God. Also since Jesus stated at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me, Jesus is the Tree of Life in the kingdom of God in the midst of the street and on either side of the river stated at Revelation 22:2. Basically in every day terms, Jesus represents everything in the kingdom of God. Jesus is the kingdom of God and when we all arrive at the kingdom of God just to see Jesus eternally and praise Jesus eternally is the ultimate reward.


     OK, I'm still not done talking about the rainbow that is Jesus. Now take a look at the picture above of the twelve precious stones with the seven colors of the rainbow in Jesus' breastplate at Exodus 28:15-20 and in the foundations of the city of the kingdom of God at Revelation 21:19-20. Now I will quote these two passages of the blessed scriptures.

     Exodus 28:15-20 says And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it, of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it. Foursquare it shall be doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof. And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones, the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle, this shall be the first row. And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond., and the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst, and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper, they shall be set in gold in their inclosings. Revelation 21:19-20 says And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl, the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth, the twelfth, an amethyst.

     Now this next paragraph you might want to write out and save. Brother Bob studied the colors of each of the precious stones listed above and now I will list the seven colors of the rainbow and the corresponding precious stones that represent that particular color of the rainbow. First, Red-Sardonyx that is also called Onyx or Sardius. Second, Orange-Jasper or Diamond that is also called the stone of all colors and can also be red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The whole city of the kingdom of God is colored jasper and is an orange consuming fire. Revelation 21:11. Remember God's fire never harms a saint. God's fire blesses the saints and destroys the devil. Isaiah 43:2 and Daniel 3:25.Third, Yellow-Chrysolite, Topaz, or Beryl. Fourth, Green-Chrysoprasus, Carbuncle, or Emerald. Note that topaz and beryl can merge into a green color. Fifth, Blue-Chalcedony that is a sky blue, Agate, or Sapphire that is a royal blue. Sixth, Indigo-Jacinth or Ligure that is a darker shade of blue. Seventh, Violet-Amethyst.


     OK, the next part of this bible study will give you all several treasures Brother Bob discovered this week in Jesus' Word about peace. I pray in Jesus name that all who forevermore read this bible study will receive strength and eternal peace from these listed scriptures. Isaiah 57:19 says I create the fruit of the lips, Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord, and I will heal him. Romans 2:10 says But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. Psalm 29:11 says The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

     Job 22:21 says Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace; thereby good shall come unto thee. Romans 5:1 says Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. John 14:27 says Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you; Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Isaiah 26:3 says Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.

Get Saved Today With Peace And Jesus In The Kingdom Of God
Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning, Confess That Jesus Is God,
And Believe The Gospel That Jesus Died For You On The Cross,
Was Buried, And Rose Again

     And finally take a good look at the picture above that says peace is like a river. You might all say how can peace be like a river. Well Jesus showed Brother Bob that since a river flows, I claim in Jesus name that all who forevermore read this bible study will receive a peace that flows to them eternally with joy and comfort always. Isaiah 48:18 says O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river (a flowing river of milk and honey), and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea (fountains and springs that flow from all saints to refresh everyone around them.)

     I once asked Jesus, Jesus what does it mean when you tell me I'll go to a land flowing with milk and honey. Jesus told me the milk and the honey represent Jesus. The milk is the Word that is Jesus. 1 Peter 2:2 says As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby; if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. The honey is also the Word that also is Jesus. Psalm 19:8 says The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. Psalm 19:10 says More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

     When Samson put his hand into the carcase of the Lion of the tribe of Judah Jesus he could enjoy the sweet honey and was not stung by the bees because when Jesus died for us all on the cross, Jesus took away the sting of death. Judges 14:8-9, 1 Corinthians 15:54-55. Finally, remember saints we are all like eagles that daily need to gather and come together around the carcase which is Jesus Christ crucified. This is done by daily remembering with our hearts Jesus Christ crucified and giving thanks to Jesus for dying for us all. Matthew 24:28 says For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.


     Finally, to end up my bible study today I give you all one of Brother Bob's all time favorite pictures of Elijah praying for rain after a drought of no rain for three and a half years, while his servant looks for rain seven times and just sees a little cloud the size of a man's hand. Remember the title of this bible study Keep praying and meet Jesus the Rainbow. Keep praying like Elijah pictured above even if you see nothing the first six times you look and even if on the seventh time your friends say your blessing seems so small like a tiny little cloud the size of a man's hand. Brother Bob says to all who forevermore read this bible study, while you keep praying (PUSH) (Pray Until Something Happens) like Elijah pictured above you all will receive an exceeding abundant blessing that will overtake you.

     The story of the picture above is at 1 Kings 18:41 and says And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees. And said to his servant, Go up now look toward the sea. And he went up and looked and said, There is nothing. And he said; Go again seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up and say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not. And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel. And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

     So remember when you pray daily, keep praying though your blessing seems like a little cloud the size of a man's hand for an exceeding abundant blessing above all that you can ask or think is soon to be yours. Brother Bob says when you pray display importunity and Jesus will grant your requests. The word importunity means persistent constant asking for a request and appears only one time in the Word of God at Luke 11:8 that says I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

     Some people might say if you pray more than once for something you lack faith. Brother Bob says this does not line up with the Word of God. Jesus Himself in the Garden of Gethsemane prayed the same prayer three times with the same words. Matthew 26:44 says And He (Jesus) left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Like Jesus, keep praying for your request over and over and your faith will increase where Jesus will honor your importunity and persistent asking by granting your requests. 1 John 5:14 says And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us; And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.

     I live to write these bible studies and preach the revelations Jesus gives to Brother Bob with all the nations and countries around us all from just a poor little one bedroom apartment in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Hallelujah, Mexico and New Zealand are now reading Brother Bob's bible studies. Thanks for all your prayers and feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N. Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. See you all soon either on this earth or in the kingdom of God. Your friend in Jesus Brother Bob.

Victory With Jesus Through Temperance And Self Denial



     You might all say what is Brother Bob up to today with pictures above of a cross and a corn of wheat. Well this time the two pictures will give us the answer to a parable. Open your bibles to John 12:24 that says Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. Hallelujah, for twenty years Brother Bob asked Jesus for the answer to this parable and this week the Lord Jesus Christ showed me that the corn of wheat represents Jesus. You see, Jesus died for us all because He loved us, and the death of Jesus on the cross brings forth much fruit and many untold numbers of sinners to salvation. If Jesus did not die on the cross, Jesus would have abided alone and no one could be saved.

     Glory to your name Lord Jesus, you obeyed the Father and willingly offered your body as a sacrifice for all believers that by faith in Jesus Christ crucified we all will obtain eternal life. Get ready to shout for joy as I quote to you all John 10:17-18 which says Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Notice, the Father gave Jesus a commandment to lay down his life and die on the cross for sinners. Hallelujah, Jesus fully obeyed this commandment and said It is finished and destroyed the devil and gave all believers total victory and eternal life as He layed down his life at the cross. Saint reading this Jesus loves you and right now be saved and confess Jesus as your Lord and believe in your heart what Jesus did for you at the cross and believe that Jesus rose from the dead.

     Not only did Jesus fully obey the Father's command to lay His life down but Jesus rejoiced to go to the cross and save sinners. Hebrews 12:2 says 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. Look at the awesome words of Jesus to the Father saying Father I offer my body and not a bull or goat to be sacrificed to take away the sins of the people. Hebrews 10:5 says Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

     Saint reading this consider this: When Abraham was going to sacrifice his son Isaac, God spared Isaac and provided a ram in the bush for Abraham to sacrifice. But when Jesus died as the sacrifice of the Father's only son, there was no ram in the bush. Jesus loved us all so much and carried and destroyed all our sins forevermore at the cross of Calvary. We should all thank Jesus daily for dying for us all at the cross and giving us a chance to have eternal peace and literal life.


     Wow, take a good look at the picture above and remember we are all running a race and our goal is Jesus as we run on the path of this life. The picture above reminds me of the parable about the runner in the bible. 1 Corinthians 9:24 says Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now, they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly, so fight I, not as one that beateth the air. But, I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection, lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

     Notice the word castaway. Castaway means a reprobate who is insane and has no hope in this life. Brother Bob says do not be a castaway but receive life from Jesus by doing Luke 9:23-25. Jesus told me to tell you all read these verses aloud to yourself and receive life and that you are not a castaway. Luke 9:23-25 says And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away.

     Now notice the title of this message, Victory With Jesus Through Temperance And Self Denial. The word temperance is defined as self control or denial of self. Notice also that temperance is defined as abstinence from alcoholic drink. Have temperance and stop drinking beer, wine, and whiskey, daily denying your flesh for Romans 7:18 says For I know that in me (that is in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. But the good news is that your Spirit is more powerful than your flesh as you remember Jesus and the cross daily with your hearts. Saint reading this, take heed to the warning and solution for victory given at Romans 8:13 that says For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but, if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

     Saint reading this like the Apostle Paul, Brother Bob says today come to Jesus as I quote Hebrews 3:7 that says Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear His voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness. Hebrews 3:12 tells us take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

     Saint reading this, scroll up again and see the words Following Jesus and Brother Bob will give you many scriptures to show us why we all should praise and follow Jesus. 1 Peter 3:18 says For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. Hebrews 2:9 says But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

     Now everyone reading this forevermore look at this gem from the Word of God and notice that it is Jesus who give us all grace and eternal peace. As I quote this awesome scripture, meditate on how Jesus is described in Revelation 1:4 and say the scripture. Revelation 1:4 says John to the seven churches which are in Asia; Grace be unto you and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come, and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood.

     Be encouraged saint reading this as you do what the picture above shows and follow Jesus where you will obtain the sure reward which is Jesus. 1 Peter 1:5 says Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations. Hebrews 10:36 says For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 1 John 2:28 says And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.



     To end up today's bible study, I give you all two pictures above of daytime and nightime and tell you all to praise Jesus morning, noon, evening, and midnight and at all times. Any time we praise Jesus is a good time. Psalm 34:1 says I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 119:97 says O how I love thy law. It is my meditation all the day. Psalm 63:5 says My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips. When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

     Proverbs 8:17 says I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Psalm 55:17 says evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud; and He shall hear my voice. Psalm 119:62 says at midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of they righteous judgments.

     I heard a backhills preacher once say every one needs to get in the glory at least one time in their life and experience the I Can't Help Its. This occurs when we say and shout no matter who is around us, I Can't Help It Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Thank You Thank You Jesus as we run and leap for joy. I pray in Jesus name every one reading this bible study will at least once in their life experience the I Can't Help Its and glorify Jesus with all your might no matter what the world or anyone around you says. Remember the joy of the Lord is our strength.

     I truly enjoyed writing this bible study today. Hallelujah Taiwan and Ireland are regularly reading these bible studies. I pray in Jesus name my international friends find a way to translate their emails and email Brother Bob at rz9tlm@gmail.com so we can pray and share Jesus to defeat the devil worldwide. It would be such blessing to hear from my friends all over this world from the many nations that weekly read Brother Bob's bible studies. Also feel free to write anytime to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N. Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Thanks for all your prayers for my health. The book for Jesus will continue and Jesus will be glorified.
