Jesus Our Only True Friend

     How about this picture above to start out this week's bible study of Jesus lifting Peter out to the water. Jesus told me to tell all those who forevermore read this bible study to notice that the only one helping Peter when Peter launches out into the deep is Jesus only. Notice that all of Peter's friends won't jump into the water to help Peter but stayed on the boat. But, Hallelujah, Jesus is always willing to lay down his life for you and save you when family, friends, and the world totally reject you. King Solomon spoke about Jesus when he stated at Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly; and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Saint that friend spoken of in Proverbs 18:24 that sticketh closer than a brother is Jesus.

     John 15:14 proves that Jesus is your true friend that sticketh closer than a brother and says Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth, I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. The wonderful story about the picture above is located at Matthew 14:28 and says And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And He said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Notice, like Peter saint reading this when the world and everyone seems to abandon you because of your walk with Jesus, Jesus will immediately be there to raise you up and bless you.

     The above picture reminds Brother Bob of the Apostle Paul and how Jesus always stood with Paul and strengthened Paul when all men forsook Paul and no man stood with Paul. This is recorded at 2 Timothy 4:14 and says Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil. The Lord reward him according to his works. Of whom be thou ware also (defined as be on guard); for he hath greatly withstood our words. At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me; I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear, and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion; Now saint wherever you are reading this say this next verse and in Jesus name I claim that Jesus will preserve and keep you forevermore in peace. Now say 2 Timothy 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom; to whom be glory forever and ever Amen.

     To my friends all over the world, if you have been rejected by family, friends, and even so called religious people, be encouraged and say these following scriptures for Jesus will always be your friend and comfort you forever. Psalm 27:10 says When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.  This next scripture was given to me by my good friend the Son of Sam who now is saved and is called the Son of Hope David Berkowitz: I encourage everyone to view David Berkowitz's website by left clicking this link http://www.ariseandshine.org/. Also, please watch David Berkowitz's testimony by left clicking this link of how David states Jesus is the answer to anyone's problems http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdv78w6MN04. I am honored to say that David Berkowitz is a personal friend to Brother Bob and we have written letters to each other for years. Jesus says when you bless someone in prison like David, you bless Jesus. Psalm 68:6 says God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out those which are bound with chains. You see if you feel solitary or alone with Jesus, Jesus has a new family for you and if Jesus has to, Jesus will send angels to you to be your family and comfort you. Jude 24 says 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.

     OK saint reading this notice the picture above and open your bibles to two bible verses (Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23). Let's start with Isaiah 7:14 that says Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (God). Hallelujah, Jesus was that son born by the virgin Mary that Isaiah prophesied about and Jesus was and is called God by the prophet Isaiah. Now notice that when Jesus became a baby on this earth, the name Immanuel (God) changed to Emmanuel (God with us). Matthew 1:23 says Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel (God with us). Jesus truly is the Almighty God proclaimed by the prophet Isaiah thousands of years before Jesus even arrived on this earth.

     Now saints I wanted to use the picture above stating that Jesus is Emmanuel (God with us) to proclaim to all the nations that Jesus will forever be with you and be your friend to the end of time. Matthew 28:20 states Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Hebrews 13:5-6 says Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with such things as ye have; for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

     Now to all saints in all the nations, I recommend to anyone reading this bible study to take time out and do a google search for DL Moody and read anything that DL Moody wrote. DL Moody is considered one of the greatest all time preachers for Jesus who was a lowly shoe salesman that lived in the late 1800's and won thousands to Jesus. DL Moody's writings are highly anointed and Brother Bob has studied thousands of pages from DL Moody. Take time out and be blessed and read some writings of DL Moody.

     For example look at what DL Moody wrote in the 1800's and I quote "Jesus' love is unchangeable. Many who loved you at one time have perhaps grown cold in their affection and turned away from you, it may be their love is changed to hatred; It is not so with Jesus who will love you always to the end of the world and forevermore." And wow, DL Moody quoted John 13:1 that proves that Jesus is your only true friend that will love you to the end. Wow what a gem of a verse. John 13:1 says Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end. DL Moody stated that Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him; yet Jesus loved Judas to the end. Jesus also knew that Peter would deny Him three times and swear that he never knew Him, yet Jesus loved Peter to the end. And remember, not only Judas and Peter would forsake and leave Jesus, but all of Jesus' disciples forsook and abandoned Jesus, yet Jesus still loved them all. This is proven at Mark 14:50 that says And they all forsook Him and fled.

     Now how about these words of life from the pen of DL Moody. DL Moody stated that when you have any problem in this life, first take a glance at the problem and then next fix your eyes on the remedy Jesus Christ crucified and do not take your eyes off of Jesus Christ crucified. Jesus already destroyed all your problems on the cross. Every day say I am crucified with Jesus Christ (the same yesterday, today, and forever) and keep looking at Jesus Christ crucified and all your problems will disappear forevermore. Jesus destroyed the devil and all our problems when He died on the cross of Calvary (Hebrews 2:14). You see we all are poor wretched sinners, but we all need to take John the Baptist's advice and fix our eyes on the Lamb of God Jesus which taketh away the sin of the world.

     Now, just as a side note, Brother Bob wants to give you all some divine knowledge given to us all thousands of years ago by the wonderful prophet Hosea. Hosea posed a question as to whether Jesus would take away all our iniquities and wow what a tremendous answer did Hosea give us all at Hosea 14:4. The question was posed at Hosea 14:1 and says O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God, for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take with you words, and turn to the Lord; Say unto Him, take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously; so will we render the calves of our lips. Now saint reading this lift up your hands and wave to Jesus in praise for the glorious answer at Hosea 14:4 that says I will heal their backsliding; I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.

     Finally, to prove Jesus' love to you saint reading this in any nation, note when sinners were mocking and persecuting Jesus on the cross, Jesus loved them and said at Luke 23:34 Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Jesus did not cast down fire from heaven to consume them. There was nothing but love in Jesus' heart to all those who hated and persecuted Jesus.

     OK, now to end up this week's bible study, Brother Bob will prove to all saints in all nations by the Word of God that Jesus is God and only the Lord Jesus should be worshipped. Jesus is not just a person, great teacher or great prophet, but Jesus is Almighty God. Now take a look at the two pictures above. The first picture is of the leper worshipping the Lord Jesus after the leper was healed by Jesus. The second picture is of Paul and Barnabas at Lystra telling the people to not worship them for they are mere men and not Jesus or God. Also, note that Jesus can not be just a mere angel because even the angels say to Worship God or Jesus. Revelation 22:8-9 says And I John saw these things, and heard them, And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not; for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book; worship God.

     The first picture above is recorded at Matthew 8:2 that says And behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. The second picture is recorded at Acts 14:12 and says And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, and Saying Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein.

     Paul and Barnabas were very wise and humble, telling the people to only worship the Lord Jesus and not man. And wow if you read further on in Acts 14 you will find out that the very same people that were worshipping Paul and Barnabas were within a short while stoning Paul and Barnabas. It's amazing to me that in this walk with Jesus, people who we think are close friends can in an instant change and hate us and become some of our worst enemies. We must pray for these enemies and ask Jesus to forgive them and bless them. But, remember Jesus will always be a friend and never become an enemy to a saint that has dedicated his life to Jesus.

     OK, Brother Bob suggests to all saints in all nations to write down the following scriptures that prove Jesus is the Almighty God and rejoice and praise Jesus while you write down these awesome scriptures. 1 John 5:20 says And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 1 Corinthians 15:47 says The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. John 17:3 says And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 10:30 and the actual words of Jesus says I and my Father are one. Finally, Jesus proclaimed Himself to be God and called Himself the Great I Am and John 8:58 says Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am. Jesus also proclaimed that He is Almighty God at Revelation 1:8 that says I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty (the Greek definition calls Jesus Almighty God).

     Finally, to close out this week's bible study look at all these examples of people in the bible that worshipped the Lord Jesus, proving that Jesus is God and not a mere mortal man. Look at the conversation between the blind man healed at the pool of Siloam and Jesus at John 9:35 that says Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him? And Jesus said unto him Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him. Notice that the healed leper worshipped the Lord Jesus at Matthew 8:2 saying And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And finally, notice the Caananite woman at Matthew 15:25 who also worshipped the Lord Jesus. Matthew 15:25 says Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. Also, note that Jesus never stopped these people in the bible from worshipping Him because Jesus is Almighty God Hallelujah.

     And finally, even in the old testament, Joshua worshipped Jesus who is the Captain of the Lord's host and God. Joshua 5:14 reads And He said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto Him, What saith my Lord unto his servant? Jesus truly is the captain that Joshua witnessed proven by Hebrews 2:10 that says For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

     I've truly enjoyed writing today's bible study which I pray in Jesus name will bless you all with great joy, peace, and strength. Always feel free to email Brother Bob at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob at Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Till the next week, keep looking to your true friend Jesus and have a blessed day to all my friends in all the nations everywhere.

Heavens Birds Mountains And Wind Constantly Praise Jesus

     Today, is a special message from Jesus and Brother Bob to my friends in the many nations that regularly read Brother Bob's book for Jesus. Jesus told me to write out this bible study and let you all know from the highest height to the deepest depth, everything in nature and the universe praises Jesus. So let's all take a journey today and start at the highest height and end up at the deepest depth and see the many things in nature that constantly praise Jesus. In the picture above both the sun and moon are praising Jesus.  Psalm 150:6 says Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise Ye the Lord.

     Right now wherever you are reading this bible study, Brother Bob says begin to say Thank you Jesus for dying for me on the cross and give Jesus a sacrifice of praise. Lord Jesus, don't let a stone in nature cry out and shout praise to Jesus more than any saint that evermore reads this blog. Luke 19:40 says And He answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Friend reading this, do you realize that Jesus dwells and inhabits our praises. I once asked a little kid, where does Jesus dwell. The little kid pointed up to the sky and then to his heart. But Brother Bob told the kid and all people reading this bible study, just begin to thank and praise Jesus for being God and destroying all your problems at the cross as we all tell the devil daily I am crucified with Christ, and Jesus will dwell in your praises. Psalm 22:3 says But, thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

     Now you might all say Brother Bob I don't feel like praising Jesus now because of all the troubles of this world and life around me. My spiritual daddy Carl used to tell me Bobby if you don't feel like praising Jesus, praise Jesus anyway and give Jesus a sacrifice of praise. Lord Jesus, to all who forevermore read this bible study I pray in Jesus name we all will do Hebrews 13:15 and continually give the Lord Jesus a sacrifice of praise. Hebrews 13:15 says By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.

     Now lets start in the highest heights and see the many things in nature that praise Jesus. Now take a good look at the picture above of the sun and the moon, and the next time you look up at the sky with it's planets and stars remember all these heavenly bodies constantly utter and declare the glory of Jesus. Psalm 19 says The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth His handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowlege. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.

     The beginning part of Psalm 148 lists all the heavenly bodies in the heights that praise Jesus. Psalm 148 says Praise ye the Lord, Praise ye the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights. Praise ye Him, all His angels; Praise ye Him all His hosts; Praise ye Him, sun and moon; Praise Him all ye stars of light. Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens; and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord; for He commanded and they were created; He hath also stablished them forever and ever.

     OK, everyone lets come down to the next level or the air where the birds fly and Brother Bob will give you many scriptures proving that the all the birds constantly praise Jesus. Birds are smart. Birds wake up early every day and sing praises to Jesus. The bird pictured above is happy and singing praise to Jesus early in the morning. To every saint reading this bible study, the next day you wake up and hear the birds chirping, cheeping, tweeting, and warbling, remember each chirp, cheep, tweet, and warble is a praise to Jesus.

     Look at these awesome scriptures of birds praising Jesus. Song of Solomon 2:12 says The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle (defined as turtledove) is heard in our land. And as a side note, whenever you see a flower blossom and bloom, remember that is the flower's way of saying thank you Jesus. We should learn a lesson from flowers. No matter how many storms and winds blow on the flowers, the flowers say in the midst of all the troubles Jesus I still love you and present this beautiful blossom to you as a token of my praise.  Brother Bob says to you all, can you for one minute right now be like the flowers and praise Jesus no matter what troubles are around you.

     OK, here's some more bird praise scriptures. Psalm 55:6 says And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove. For then would I fly away, and be at rest. So the next time you see a dove, remember we all will praise Jesus forevermore and fly away as we all are caught up to meet Jesus in the clouds soon. I used to say Jesus where in the bible does it say we will fly away. Well look at Psalm 90:10 that says The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. This is why we all sing the song I want two wings to fly away and be at rest.

     Now since we are talking about birds, I have to mention the eagles. Brother Bob loves eagles. Brother Bob once went to a zoo and looked at the eagle for four straight hours and praised Jesus for the eagle's majestic wing span. You can learn about Jesus by studying the eagle. We all will be like the eagles and one day rise high above all our problems and ride the wind freely with our wings. The one thing I love about eagles is that when an eagle reaches the heights above his troubles, that eagle shouts a loud praise to Jesus. Like the eagles, I pray in Jesus name saint reading this that you will rise to the heights above all your troubles and shout a loud praise to Jesus. Isaiah 40:31 mentions eagles and says But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

     Deuteronomy 32:11 also mentions eagles and says As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings. So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and He made him to suck honey out of the Rock, and oil out of the flinty Rock. And let's not forget that the prophet Jeremiah mentioned that the storks, cranes, turtledoves,and swallows also remember and praise Jesus. Jeremiah 8:7 says Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtledove and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. And finally, don't forget the little sparrow and keep watching for Jesus' return. Psalm 102:7 says I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop. Everyone, please remember Jesus' warning at Revelation 16:15 that says Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

     

OK, now let's go to the next level that is the earth and look at all the things on this earth that praise Jesus. Wow, I have to say that Jesus truly gave Brother Bob the above picture of mountains, little hills,rams, and lambs to prove that the mountains and little hills praise Jesus while they skip like rams and lambs. The next time you all drive or walk through the mountains or hills, look for the dancing and listen to the singing of praise to Jesus. People might say Brother Bob you are crazy doing this. Brother Bob replies Crazy but Happy; Hallelujah Jesus. Psalm 114:4 says The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. Isaiah 55:12 says For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Jesus showed me a vision that every time we see trees rustling in the wind, the trees are clapping their hands and praising Jesus.

     Now some other things we find on this earth that praise Jesus are the clouds and the winds. Wow, look at the second picture above of Jesus walking on the wings of the wind with the clouds as His chariot and the dust of His feet. Now the next time you hear what Brother Bob says is the strange sound of the blowing wind, remember Jesus is in this wind and walks upon the wings of the wind. Psalm 104:3 proves this and says Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters. Who maketh the clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind. And Hallelujah, the prophet Nahum stated that the clouds are the dust of Jesus' feet. Nahum 1:3 says The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked; The Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.

     Finally, I will list all the earthly creatures that praise Jesus. Note even when you hear the insects buzzing, the buzz is a praise to Jesus. Psalm 148:7 says Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps; fire and hail; snow and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling His word; mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; beasts and all cattle, creeping things, and flying fowl; kings of the earth, and all people; princes and all judges of the earth; both young men and maidens, old men and children; Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

     OK, now after writing about all the many things in nature that praise Jesus, Brother Bob has a question for you all. Do you all want to do a good thing today? Brother Bob says meditate on Psalm 92 and do Psalm 92 that says It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High. So let's all do a good thing right now. Everyone everywhere start to thank Jesus right now and do a good thing today. Don't let nature outpraise you. Remember the joy of the Lord is your strength as you praise Jesus as Lord. Psalm 100 which I love and encourage you all to memorize says Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord He is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endureth to all generations.

     I have truly enjoyed writing this bible study about the many things that praise Jesus. I pray in Jesus name this bible study will strengthen you all and bless you greatly. Feel free to write me by email anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Until the next time, be blessed in Jesus name and please keep Brother Bob in your prayers. I write these bible studies to you out of a poor one bedroom apartment leaving riches, family, and worldly pleasures for the goodness of Jesus. And hallelujah Jesus is better than anything I could ever possess in this world. Philippians 2:14-Do all things without murmurings and disputings; That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.

You Can Depend On Jesus

     Today I start off my bible study by showing you all a picture of Jesus above the earth and greater than any man. Remember saint reading this all things are possible with Jesus. When man says no, Jesus can say yes. Hebrews 13:6 says So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. The bible verse to Brother Bob that sums up the picture above would have to be Isaiah 40:22 that says It is He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.

     Look at these awesome scriptures that prove that Jesus is above and greater than any man on this earth and rejoice and praise Jesus for his preeminence. Job 11:7 says Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; What canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know. The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. Look at what David said about the Lord Jesus when he was trying to build Jesus a house at 2 Chronicles 2:6: But who is able to build Him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? who am I then, that I should build Him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before Him?

     Lift up your hands and wave your hands at Jesus and say out loud Exodus 15:11; Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? And let us always remember Colossians 1:16 showing the majesty of Jesus above mankind. Colossians 1:16 reads For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell.

     Remember saint reading this to be saved you must confess with your mouth that Jesus is Almighty God and not just a great prophet or teacher or just the Son of God. Get saved, 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 from the dead. This week Jesus showed me a powerful verse in the bible that proves that Jesus is Almighty God and not just a man, great prophet, or teacher. Jesus Himself quoted in Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, The Almighty. In Greek, the word Almighty is called Almighty God and Jesus Himself proclaimed that He is Almighty God. Tell Muslims, Jehovah Witnesses, and Jews that Jesus proclaimed that He is Almighty God (not only a man, great prophet, teacher, and Son of God).

     Isaiah 40:15 proves that all the nations' current powers with missles, nuclear bombs, and weapons from China, USA, Russia, Iran, and Israel are just a drop in the bucket and considered less than nothing compared to Jesus who is the Captain of the Lord's Host that in Hebrew means Jesus is the Captain General of God's Army of Host Angels headed by the warring archangel Michael. We all can truly rejoice with the Apostle Paul when I quote Romans 8:31 that says What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Isaiah 40:15 reads Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, He taketh up the isles as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before Him are as nothing; and they are counted to Him less than nothing, and vanity.

     OK everyone, how about the picture above of a camel going through the eye of a needle. To understand this picture we must ask the Holy Spirit to bring understanding to the bible verse Matthew 19:23 that says Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again, I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

     The answer to the parable of the picture above of the camel going through the eye of the needle to enter the kingdom of God is that a saved person who left all his possessions in this world for Jesus would make it to the kingdom of God quicker than a rich person who held on to all his earthly possessions. The verse above says it is hard for a rich man to part with his riches and enter the kingdom of God. I'm not saying a rich person can not make it to the kingdom of God. I'm just saying it is hard for rich people to come to Jesus when they trust in their riches instead of Jesus. Jesus showed Brother Bob that the true church was represented in the book of Genesis 24:61 by Rebekah who left all her riches and everything to go to her husband Isaac who represents Jesus and lo and behold Rebekah came to Isaac on a camel. All things are possible with Jesus. The bride Rebekah truly had her camel go through the eye of the needle and entered into the kingdom of God with her husband Isaac. Like Rebekah, all those who forevermore read this and trust in Jesus instead of their riches will become the bride entering into the kingdom of God, rejoicing in a wedding ceremony to their bridegroom Jesus.

     Remember saint reading this the warning listed at Matthew 6:24 that says No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other; Ye cannot serve God and mammon (riches). This is why when a saint tries to serve Jesus and preach Jesus Christ crucified, his enemies that hate him are those false religious people who love money more than Jesus. This reminds me of the Pharisees and Saducees who crucified Jesus agreeing with Judas who loved a measly thirty pieces of silver more than our Lord Jesus to betray Jesus.

     I often think of my friend in the Lord Brother Carl telling me Bobby when Jesus comes back many rich people will be weighed down with their material possessions and not be able to be caught up into the clouds in the air to meet Jesus. These rich people will say to Jesus at this time Oh my car, house, silver, and gold where the weight of these perishing possessions will prevent these rich people from entering into the kingdom of God. Hebrews 12:1 says 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. Also, take heed to the prophet Ezekiel's warning at Ezekiel 7:19 that says They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

     OK everybody you might all say what is Brother Bob up to now with a picture above of Jesus next to a clock. Brother Bob wants to prove a point to you all that Jesus unlike time on the clock never changes. You can depend on Jesus who never changes and is always your friend. Friends, family, places, and this world constantly change but Jesus who is God and who is love never changes. Meditate on the verses listed below that prove that Jesus never changes and Hallelujah we can all trust in Jesus who is an unmoveable anchor of our soul that is constant and unchanging.

     Malachi 3:6 says For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Hebrews 6:19 says Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil. James 1:17 says Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness (note no variableness in Greek means Jesus never changes), neither shadow of turning.

     When people sing the song Rock of Ages it is the truth because Jesus truly is an unchanging Rock that never changes for many ages and generations. Isaiah 26:3 says Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH (Jesus) is everlasting strength (everlasting Rock of Ages). Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Isaiah 40:6 tells us The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the Spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever.

     OK my final thought today for this bible study is to tell you all that for the election of 2012 Brother Bob is voting for Jesus. Brother Bob has decided to put his total trust in Jesus instead of any president, leader, governor, senator, or nation. Hallelujah Jesus for 2012. I encourage anyone forevermore reading this bible study to put your trust in Jesus and not man and will prove that Jesus and his Word ask us all to trust Jesus more than man. Psalm 118:8 says It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

     Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the bible; Psalm 118 is the middle chapter in the bible; Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the bible about the bible. The very center verse of the KJV Bible is Psalm 118:8 that says It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It's amazing that only in a King James bible will you discover that the two middle words of the bible at Psalm 118:8 are the Lord. Also there are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and there are 594 chapters after Psalm 118. 594+594=1188-118:8 is the middle verse of the bible. 

     Wow, look at all these bible scriptures that tell us to place our trust in Jesus and not in man. Psalm 146:3 says Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man (earthly people), in whom there is no help. Micah 7:5 says Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. Proverbs 10:2 says treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness (Jesus) delivereth from death.

     Now everyone reading this take heed to the warning from the prophet Jeremiah about trusting the Lord Jesus and not man. Jeremiah 17:5 says Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall be like the heath (destitute, strippped, naked, and helpless) in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Now contrast Jeremiah 17:5 with Jeremiah 17:7 that says Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

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

Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Revealed Secrets From Jesus

     Rejoice and take a look at the above picture of our golden mansions in the kingdom of God that the saved saints will receive from Jesus. Notice the street in the picture above by our mansions that is pure gold transparent glass in the beautiful kingdom of God that is pure gold clear glass. Saint reading this wave your hands at Jesus and praise Jesus for creating such a beautiful place of rest forever. 

     The reason Brother Bob chose the above picture of all the saints' golden mansions in the kingdom of God is to praise Jesus that there will not be any overcrowding in the kingdom of God. Unlike this crowded world where we all live with overcrowded neighborhoods, the kingdom of God has plenty of room with many mansions that Jesus built and prepared for all his saints. Jesus said at John 14:1 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. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

     Luke 14:21 proves that there is plenty of room and even extra space in the kingdom of God with no overcrowding to provide mansions for Jesus' saints. Luke 14:21 says So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house (Jesus) being angry said to his servant (The Holy Ghost), Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. The kingdom of God has plenty of room for all its saints with extra room and no overcrowding.

     And look at Hebrews 12:22 that says in the kingdom of God there is so much room that the kingdom of God holds innumerable angels. Hebrews 12:22 says 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. Brother Bob's mind can not fathom how an infinite amount of angels and saints can fit into the dimensions of the kingdom of God listed at Revelation 21:16 but Brother Bob just believes with my heart that Jesus can do anything.

     Revelation 21:16 says And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousands furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. Now note that a furlong is 1/8 of a mile. Therefore the kingdom of God is 12000 divided by 8 or 1500 miles long, wide, and high. Brother Bob calculated this out and 1500 miles is like going from New York City to Denver, Colorado or like going from Montreal, Canada to Miami, Florida. Now get a picture and see by faith this kingdom of God 1500 miles long, wide, and high holding all the saints with their own mansions with even extra space available. Now also note that the kingdom of God is 1500 miles high so there could be 1500 levels or stories of people. Can you just think when you look up how many mansions could fill even 1 mile and wow 1500 miles high with different levels of mansions for all saints. 

     Ezekial 48:35 also describes the dimensions of the new Jerusalem city of God where christians will live forever. It was round about 18000 measures and name of the city from that day shall be The Lord is there (Jehovah Shammah). Note that 18000 measures is equal to 32000 miles. Therefore the circumference of the new Jerusalem round about is 32000 miles (this is much larger than the circumference of the earth). But the best blessing about the new Jerusalem is that the Lord Jesus (Jehovah Shammah) is there for eternity. Cornelius Lapide (a priest from the 1600s) said that the circumference of Zion was 18000 measures or 32000 miles round about. This would be the size of the new Jerusalem covering this whole earth holding saints from every nation from sea to sea. Therefore the new Jerusalem where christians live forever in peace is 1500 miles long, wide, and high (the distance from New York City to Denver Colorado or Montreal Canada to Miami Florida) surrounded by a circumference of 32000 miles larger than the circumference of this present earth.  

     Now take a look at the picture above of Jesus carrying us all. Saint reading this I claim for you that Jesus will always carry you through all fears, worries, and troubles that you might face in this world. Remember with Jesus my friend you will overcome this world and have peace. Jesus said at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 

     And since we all overcome with Jesus, we all receive the overcoming blessings listed to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3. First, we shall eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God. Second, We shall not be hurt of the second death. Third, We will eat of the hidden manna and receive a new name written in a white stone that no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Fourth, We will have power over the nations and rule them with a rod of iron and receive the morning star Jesus. Fifth, We will be clothed in white raimant and our names will not be blotted out of the book of life and Jesus will confess our names before the Father and his angels. Sixth, We will become pillars in the temple of God with the name of God, the name of the new Jerusalem, and Jesus will write upon us His new name. Seventh, We will sit with Jesus and the Father in their throne.

     Now saint be comforted and know that Jesus is constantly carrying you and keeping you. Jesus will talk to you constantly and guide you and assist you to overcome the troubles of this world. Take time to write out these scriptures explaining how Jesus will carry us all constantly and keep and preserve us eternally. Isaiah 46:3 says Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar (white gray) hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

     Lamentations 3:22 says It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness. Psalm 34:10 says The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Psalm 111:5 says He hath given meat unto them that fear Him: He will ever be mindful of His covenant. Let's all remember Jacob's promise that Jesus will feed us all of our lives when Jacob stated at Genesis 48:15: And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day.

     Now Brother Bob wants to praise Jesus for the faith that the disciples displayed when they traveled with no shoes, bags of personal possessions, or money to tell the nations the good news of Jesus. These disciples had incredible faith to just walk with Jesus daily with no money, suitcases of personal items, or shoes. This is proven at Luke 22:35 that says And He said unto them, When I sent you without purse (money), and scrip (a leathern sack to carry personal provisions like a suitcase with your toiletries at an airport), and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. When these disciples obeyed Jesus and walked by faith with nothing in every town they traveled to, fellow saints fed, clothed, and provided for their needs. 

     I believe Elisha was like this when Elisha walked by faith with nothing and the Shunammite woman provided Elisha a blessed chamber, bed, table, stool, and candlestick. Brother Bob feels like Elisha when I look at my blessed bed, table for my PC, chair, and Kmart lamp with a GE lightbulb for light.

     My next picture is a blessed cartoon of Jonah sitting under a gourd getting relief from the sun. The story about the above picture is at Jonah 4:6 and says And the Lord prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

     You might all say what is Brother Bob trying to teach with the picture above of Jonah and a gourd. The lesson I want you all to receive from this picture above of Jonah is to realize that any material possessions outside of Jesus can not last and only Jesus can give us all joy forevermore. Many people in this world place their trust solely in money or material possessions and not Jesus, not realizing that the money and possessions will disappear and fly away. Proverbs 23:5 says Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. 

     Now in the picture above Jonah was grieved because he did not want to see the people of Nineveh be blessed after their repentance. Jonah originally did not want to preach to the people of Nineveh and was prejudice against the people of Nineveh and tried to run away to Joppa. As a result, Jonah was swallowed up by a whale and was delivered from the whale when Jonah agreed to preach to Nineveh, even though Jonah was a bigot and hated the people of Nineveh. Even after Jonah preached to Nineveh to repent he did not like the people of Nineveh and was more concerned for a little gourd than all the sinners who needed Jesus at Nineveh. 

     Jesus rebuked Jonah at Jonah 4:10 and said Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city; wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? Hallelujah, even when our enemies like a Jonah don't want to see us blessed, Jesus will continue to bless us all and allow our enemies to witness our deliverance and blessings. 

     Nineveh was blessed and because their king and all the Ninevites repented, Jesus did not destroy Nineveh. In fact, Nineveh will rise up against our generation and rebuke us all because they repented at sinful Jonah's preaching and now in our generation so many people have not repented at the teaching of righteous Jesus. Matthew 12:41 says The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas (Jesus) is here.

     Hezekiah also went through a similar experience like Jonah after Hezekiah lost all his possessions to the Babylonians after proudly displaying all his property to the Babylonians. Hezekiah trusted more in his own material possessions instead of Jesus and therefore Hezekiah lost everything. Isaiah 39:3 says Then came Isaiah the prophet unto King Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon. Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord of Hosts: Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.

     Finally, to end up today's bible study, take a look at the awesome picture above of King Jeroboam trying to smite the man of God who rebuked Jeroboam for making altars to worship God at Bethel and Dan and did not allow the people of Israel to worship God at Jerusalem. Previously Jeroboam had expelled the prophet Amos when Jeroboam and his priest Amaziah persecuted Amos for rebuking the sacrifices Jeroboam performed to idols at Bethel and Dan. When Jeroboam tried to smite the man of God pictured above, Jeroboam's hand dried up. 

     Thank you Jesus, when our enemies try to harm any saint reading this, like when Jeroboam's hand dried up above, you will not allow our enemies to harm us and make a way of escape for your saints. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Jesus stopped Jeroboam pictured above from smiting the man of God by drying up his hand and fulfilled the prophecy of Job 5:12 that says He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise (wisdom). 

     The story of the picture above is recorded at 1 Kings 13:4 and says And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him. Also note that we all need to love our enemies and that Jeroboam needed the man of God to pray for him to have his hand restored and healed. The man of God prayed for Jeroboam and Jeroboam's hand was restored.

     A final example of where Jesus protected a saint from harm occurred when Jesus delivered Lot from harm when he blinded the Sodomites at Sodom and Gomorrah. Like Lot, we all have angels around us full of bright light that blind any enemy and hide us all from harm. After the Sodomites tried to harm Lot and his family, Genesis 19:11 says And they (the angels) smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. Saint reading this keep praying for your enemies and ask Jesus to deliver them and save them. Jesus will always protect you.

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