Holy Ghost Revelations From Jesus

     Jesus with one word and prayer can heal instantly any problem that has existed for many years. The woman pictured above was bowed together for eighteen years and could in no wise lift up herself. Jesus with one word healed this woman and immediately she was made straight. I claim in Jesus name for all my friends in the many nations that read this forevermore that need deliverance from any trouble that has been around them for years that by this prayer instantly that trouble will disappear and complete healing will occur immediately.

     The story about the above picture is at Luke 13:10 and says And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And He laid His hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

     Remember saint reading this, Jesus has the last word on your health and blessings. Don't believe any bad report from a doctor saying that a person's life will end in a short amount of time. Whose report will you believe? We shall believe the report of the Lord. Psalm 103:3 says that Jesus healeth all thy diseases. 

     Also remember that Isaiah 53:5 says But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His (Jesus') stripes we are healed. Jesus had 39 stripes on the cross of Calvary. There are 39 types of sicknesses that can be proven by a google search. Therefore every day say I am crucified with Jesus Christ and by Jesus' stripes we are healed because Jesus took 39 stripes for every type of sickness past, present, and future.  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. Notice this is a double negative so Jesus is touched with the feeling of your infirmities and at the cross by His stripes Jesus healed all sickness by faith.

      Doctors in the past have told Brother Bob he would not live past a certain age because of cancer and also that Brother Bob would be crippled for life and not be able to talk and preach Jesus. Hallelujah, Brother Bob did not believe the word of the doctor, but believed the Word of Jesus. I remember sitting for two months where I could hardly open my mouth or eye, but one day I focused on Jesus Christ crucified with my heart and instantly Jesus destroyed and crucified all sickness in my body and I was able to see clearly and preach again. I went back to that doctor and testified that I would preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus when the doctor confirmed that I was cancer free with no paralysis in my speech.

     So remember saint reading this anywhere, Jesus can heal and fix in one moment what man or doctors can not do for many years. Mark 10:27 tells us And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. There was another woman in the bible who instantly was healed after struggling with an issue of blood for twelve years. For twelve years this woman paid doctors for a healing and got worse. But one day the woman decided to reach out and touch the hem of Jesus' garment and immediately her fountain of blood was dried up. Jesus healed instantly what doctors could not do for twelve years.

     The story about the woman with the issue of blood healed by Jesus is recorded at Mark 5:25 and says And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched His garment. For she said, If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

     Now look at the precious picture of the innocent baby lambs above and realize that Jesus uses people that the world despises and considers weak and innocent like the little lambs. If you feel despised and rejected by this world, you are a prime candidate to be used by Jesus. The more anointed a person becomes when he draws closer to Jesus, the more the world separates and departs from him. When you become more and more like the world, you are backsliding and moving away from Jesus because a friend of the world is an enemy of God (James 4:4). But, if the world rejects you when you serve Jesus, you are getting closer to Jesus.

     Jesus has greatly used Brother Bob who is a thin little insignificant Jew saved by Jesus to reach a half a million people in many nations with the good news of the Lord Jesus crucified. I believe when we get to heaven and see the great prophets like Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah we all will be amazed to discover that Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah were just small, little, scrawny, humble men used greatly by God. The reason Jesus uses people that in the world's eyes are weak and small is because this allows the Lord Jesus to get the glory instead of a proud, wise, and mighty person.

     Take time to read 1 Corinthians 1:26 that 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. 1 Corinthians 1:31 says That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

     Now notice that when the book of seven seals was opened in heaven, Jesus was a weak little Lamb, instead of the mighty Lion of the tribe of Juda, to open the book of the seven seals. The Father was showing us all that Jesus is so powerful that even the little innocent Lamb crucified (Jesus) had the power to open the book of the seven seals. Zechariah 4:6 tells us Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Saint reading this you might feel like a weak small tiny lamb, but remember with Jesus you can receive power to strengthen many when you deny yourself and glorify the Lord Jesus.

     The story about Jesus opening the book of the seven seals is recorded at Revelation 5:5 and says And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

     To prove that Jesus uses what the world considers weak and foolish, DL Moody wrote notice that Jesus chose a few weak ignorent Galilean fishermen to introduce the gospel to the nations. These fishermen like Peter and James were not mighty and wise in the world. This allowed Jesus instead of Peter and James to get the glory.

     For the next part of today's bible study, Brother Bob wants all my friends everywhere to get out a pen and paper and write out the many scriptures that prove that Jesus is always with us to deliver, preserve, and keep us alive in peace forevermore. While you all look to the picture above of two sparrows, say aloud Luke 12:6: Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Saint, if Jesus blesses and protects the tiny sparrows pictured above, Jesus will constantly watch over you to keep, preserve, and bless you always with joy and peace.

     Jesus told Brother Bob to write out the many scriptures in the bible that prove that Jesus is always watching over us and blessing us with constant peace. Isaiah 43:2 says When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee (notice Jesus says He will be with us through the waters); and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest throught the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Job 31:4 says Doth not He see my ways, and count all my steps? Job 34:21 says For His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all His goings.

     And wow the prophet Isaiah says Jesus proves that he is always watching over us because the Lord Jesus engraves believers forever in the palms of His hands. Isaiah 49:15 says Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. And Jesus proves He is always with us because Matthew 28:20 says 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.

     Receive great peace from Jesus and say Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I (Jesus) 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. Philippians 4:5 says Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand (Jesus is always near, giving you peace forevermore). Hebrews 13:5 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. 

     Saints be encouraged and let Brother Bob prove to you by scripture that Jesus can reach all your countries constantly giving you peace from the outback of Australia, the islands of Papau New Guinea, the Amazon of Brazil, the Hudson Bay of northern Canada, and the deserts of Namibia who read Brother Bob's book for Jesus. Jeremiah 23:24 says Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. Proverbs 15:3 says The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Psalm 139:7 says Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

     For my final picture and thought today, Brother Bob gives you all a picture of Nicodemus visiting Jesus at night to learn how to be born again. Let me state that we should love all people but disagree with wrong doctrines. Today there is a wrong doctrine stated by the Jehovah Witnesses that states that Jesus is just a great teacher, prophet, and man, denying that Jesus is God. Remarkably, Brother Bob discovered this week that Nicodemus around 2000 years ago acted like a modern day Jehovah Witness and said Jesus was just a teacher and not God.

     John 3:1 says There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Wow, Nicodemus like the Jehovah Witnesses of today just called Jesus a teacher come from God, but not God. Remember saint reading this we must go into all the world and tell people that Jesus is God because no one can be saved until they confess with their mouth that Jesus is God, repent, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

     Remember 1 John 4 tells us all the test to know a true spirit. When anyone says that Jesus is God come in the flesh it is of God; But when a Jehovah Witness says Jesus is not God come in the flesh, his religion is in error and is of the antichrist. Be encouraged friends everywhere. Let us all go everywhere proclaiming Jesus is God to win and save souls. Saint reading this get saved right now because Romans 10:9 says That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

     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.

Mysteries Revealed By Jesus

     What was the last act that Jesus did on this earth? If you look at the above scripture you will discover that Jesus' last act on this earth was to save a lost sinner who was the thief by Him on the cross. The Lord Jesus fulfilled what He spoke at Luke 5:32 that says I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Look at the words of the thief by Jesus at Luke 23:42 that says And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

     Note that the Lord Jesus took time to witness and save the lost thief while he ignored the weight of sin that He carried from billions of sinners at the cross of Calvary. Like Jesus, ignore the troubles of this world and witness Jesus everywhere. Look to Jesus and you will find strength to overcome any trouble in this world. 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. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Like Jesus, to give your life purpose and meaning, witness Jesus everywhere and win lost sinners to the Lord Jesus.

      The thief got saved by repenting and calling Jesus Lord at the cross of Calvary. The thief was drycleaned when he got saved, not needing to be baptized in water for salvation. Just by calling Jesus Lord at the cross of Calvary with repentance and believing the gospel gave the thief salvation. The thief got saved by remembering Joel 2:32 that says And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. Like the thief, 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.

     When we think about the thief that got saved by Jesus, let's remember Romans 4:5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Notice that the thief did not have to do good works to be saved. All the thief had to do was repent, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for him, was buried, and rose again. DL Moody wrote that the thief had nails through both hands so that he could not work and a nail through each foot so that he could not run errands for the Lord. He could not lift a hand or a foot toward his salvation and yet Jesus offered him the gift of God and he took it. Jesus threw the thief a passport and took the thief with Him to paradise.

     The following scriptures prove that faith in the Lord Jesus without works saves people. Titus 3:5 says Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith (in Jesus alone); and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. You don't work to be saved. You work because you are saved. I would not work my soul to save for this my Lord has done but I would work like any slave for love of his dear Son. We do good works after salvation to let others see Jesus where later at the bema judgment seat after the rapture we will receive rewards for our good works. Ephesians 2:10 says For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

     Galatians 5:6 tells us that faith worketh by love. The greatest love happened when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross of Calvary and died to save lost sinners. John 15:13 says Greater love hath no man than this, that a man (Jesus) lay down His life for His friends. Love happened with Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary. Everyone wants to be loved. Preach about Jesus Christ crucified and people will have faith which worketh by love to overcome this troubled world. Jesus said at Mark 9:23 If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 

 

     The following scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ crucified is love. 1 John 3:16 says Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down his life for us (this refers to the Lord Jesus dying on the cross of Calvary for sinners): and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.1 John 4:10 says Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son (Jesus) to be the propitiation for our sins (when Jesus died on the cross of Calvary for sinners to satisfy God's wrath).

     The Lord Jesus did the work at the cross of Calvary and destroyed the devil for ever. Hebrews 2:14 says Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Therefore to have faith and love where all things are possible, get saved and tell the devil I am crucified with Jesus Christ and with Jesus' stripes I am healed. Look by faith with your heart to the cross of Calvary that is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever and you will overcome the troubles of this world. Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for sinners on the cross.

     Notice the picture above of a blessed woman named Mary Magdalene blessing the Lord Jesus with spikenard to preserve Jesus' body for burial. Mark 14:3 speaks about Mary Magdalene anointing Jesus with spikenard at Simon's house and says And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on His head. Jesus said at Mark 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. 

     Jesus also said at Matthew 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. At the cross of Calvary, the sweet smelling spikenard's odour remained and was greater than the foul odour of vinegar mingled with the poisonous gall (hemlock plant) drink that Jesus tasted but did not drink, preserving Jesus' body from decay for burial and is a witness about Jesus' resurrection from the dead with eternal life.     

     Spikenard was used to anoint the body of the deceased to delay decomposition and mask the odour of decay during the period between death and burial. The spikenard was a witness that Jesus' body would not decay. Instead Jesus' body would become glorified, resurrected, and be preserved forever with eternal life. Like Jesus, saved saints bodies won't ever decay, will become glorified, and will be preserved with eternal life. Romans 8:11 says But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. 2 Corinthians 4:14 says Knowing that He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. Jesus said at John 6:40 And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 

     As a side note, it's remarkable that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Psalm 69:21 that says They gave me also gall (a poisonous hemlock plant) for my meat; and in my thirst they gave vinegar to drink. Matthew 27:34 says They gave Him (Jesus) vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, He would not drink. In other words no man could kill Jesus. Jesus said at John 10:17 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.

     People have said Brother Bob how do you know that the unnamed woman at Simon's house that anointed Jesus with spikenard was Mary Magdalene? In response I tell people to read Luke's account of this story at Luke 7:36 to the end of the chapter. Then notice at Luke 8:2 we see that after Mary Magdalene anointed Jesus with spikenard at Simon's house, Mary Magdalene was healed of evil spirits and infirmities and followed Jesus. Luke 8:1 says And it came to pass afterward, that He (Jesus) went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him. And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils (the bible tells us that Mary Magdalene was the woman healed at Simon's house that followed Jesus). And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of their substance.

     Let's learn a lesson from Mary and her kind act to the Lord Jesus. Don't wait to say kind words about a person after that person is dead and gone. Like Mary, give your bouquets and flowers to a person while he or she lives and not later place your bouquets and flowers over that person's grave. Right now make up your mind to be like Mary and daily write and make phone calls saying kind words of prayers to encourage and bless people. May the Lord Jesus bless you while we follow Mary's example of showing kindness to the poor daily, thereby blessing Jesus.

     Notice the picture above of the beautiful sequoia trees. The sights in the kingdom of God are so much more spectacular than any sight we could witness on this earth. When you look at the picture above of the giant sequoias, let me quote DL Moody who wrote You might see many beautiful trees on this earth like the tall cedars and giant sequoias, but you must get saved with the Lord Jesus to see the most magnificent tree of life ( who is Jesus) in the kingdom of God. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

     You might look upon beautiful mansions and elegant palaces on this earth, but you must get saved with the Lord Jesus to see the mansions that Jesus has prepared for his saints in the kingdom of God. You may see 10000 beautiful things in this world, but the new Jerusalem that displays unspeakable glory that Paul and Abraham as pilgrims and sojourners caught a glimpse of shall never be seen by a person unless he or she gets saved with the Lord Jesus. You might view the spectacular fading crowns that Napoleon and Caesar wore on this earth, but you must get saved with the Lord Jesus to receive your own incorruptible crown that will never perish away.

     Notice the two pictures above of Niagara Falls and Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria. Schonbrunn Palace is considered one of the most expensive palaces on the earth and Niagara Falls is considered to be the most phenomenal waterfall to be seen in any nation. But the sights in the kingdom of God are more spectacular and glorious than Niagara Falls and Schonbrunn Palace. Paul said that words can not describe the beauty of the kingdom of God that is infinitely more magnificent than the most scenic place on this earth. 2 Corinthians 12:4 says How that he (Paul) was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 

     DL Moody said that you might see beautiful rivers and waterfalls like Niagara Falls on this earth, but you must get saved with the Lord Jesus to see the pure, clear, crystal, river of water of life proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. You might visit kings and queens in palaces on this earth, but you must get saved with the Lord Jesus to see Jesus the King of kings and Lord of lords. You may be invited to many marriage feasts on this earth, but you will never attend the marriage supper of the Lamb during the millennium unless you get saved with the Lord Jesus.

     Notice the picture above and how the Lord Jesus rules nature when the fig tree withered at just a word from Jesus. Jesus is God and rules nature. When God in Genesis 1 spoke to nature, nature obeyed God. God said let there be light and there was light. God said Let the waters bring forth and the waters brought forth abundantly. Jesus is God because the Lord Jesus spoke to nature like the fig tree and the fig tree withered and obeyed the Word of God who is Jesus.

     The story about the picture above is at Mark 11:13. And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, He came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. Now notice the result at Mark 11:20 that says And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

     Jesus is God and can speak to nature and have nature obey His word. The wind and sea obeyed the word of the Lord Jesus at Mark 4:39. And He (Jesus) arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him? The Lord Jesus spoke to devils, and the devils fled. The Lord Jesus spoke to the grave when He said Lazarus come forth, and the grave obeyed Him and Lazarus was resurrected from the grave.

     If nature obeys the word of Jesus, christians should also believe and obey every word of the KJV bible spoken by the Lord Jesus. 1 Samuel 15:22 says And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. Like nature, let's immediately obey and respond to the Word of God's instructions to receive blessings from the Lord Jesus who is the Word of God.

     Genesis 15:1 tells us that the Lord Jesus can protect christians better than anything on this earth. After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. DL Moody said that I'd rather have Jesus the God of heaven as my Protector than all the armies of this world. Romans 8:31 says What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 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. Isaiah 59:19 says So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard (called Jehovah Nissi where the devil will disappear and flee quickly) against him.

     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. 

Only Jesus Can Be Trusted

     Be like the little children in the picture above who realize that only Jesus can be trusted in this life. Jesus said at Matthew 19:14 Suffer (allow) little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for such is the kingdom of heaven. Like the little children pictured above making Jesus their only hope, let's all remember Psalm 121:1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 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. 

     Our own strength and thoughts will fail and only faith daily in Jesus Christ crucified with our hearts will deliver us from trouble. The Word of God tells us that we can not trust in ourselves. 2 Corinthians 1:9 says But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead. But whosoever trusts in the Lord Jesus will overcome any trouble. Proverbs 3:5 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 thy navel (calm your nerves), and marrow to thy bones (strengthening your body like a cup of refreshing cold water).

      Proverbs 25:25 tells us that the cup of refreshing cold water is the gospel that strengthens us when we trust the Lord Jesus to fix any problem. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. The good news is the gospel (the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ noted at 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) that is so refreshing as a cup of cold water to a thirsty soul. Romans 1:16 says For I am not ashamed of the gospel (good news) of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

     Only Jesus can be trusted to overcome the devil and any trouble. DL Moody wrote that friends can not be trusted because friends can die, leave us, turn against us, and not deliver us. People that trust in becoming famous with a popular reputation can be disappointed by a slandering tongue. Wealth, gold, and silver can not be trusted because money and riches will take wings 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. Ezekiel 7:19 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.

     Get saved and trust the Lord Jesus to overcome the devil and any trouble in this world. 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. Numbers 23:19 tells us that when we trust the Lord Jesus, Jesus will fix all our problems and deliver us from the devil and this troubled world. God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

     People change, places change, families change, and nature changes. But the Lord Jesus never changes and will always be with you to bless you and overcome any trouble. Malachi 3:6 says For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Psalm 16:8 says I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Hebrews 13:5 says Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He (the Lord Jesus) hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

     Notice the picture above where Elisha was rewarded with a double portion of the Spirit because he continued to seek a blessing from Elijah. Elisha received a double portion of the Spirit from Elijah's mantle that fell to the ground from the chariot of fire that took Elijah to heaven. When we trust in Jesus, we should say with Elisha at 2 Kings 2:2 As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee Lord Jesus. 

     Notice the cities at 2 Kings 2:2 that Elisha had to travel through to receive a double portion of the Spirit. First Gilgal (rolling wheel) where saints must keep moving daily for Jesus and not be lazy doing nothing. Second Bethel (the house of God) where saints must fellowship with other believers at their local church to receive power to overcome the devil and this troubled world. Third Jericho (moon or a dark place) where saints must ignore the dark persecutions in their lives while they continually praise Jesus. Finally Jordan (descending) where saints must be willing to humble themselves so that Jesus can exalt them in due season. Proverbs 18:12 says Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

     Be like Elisha and keep seeking the Lord Jesus daily with your whole heart to find and receive blessings. Jeremiah 29:13 says And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Notice Job's faith and determination to trust in the Lord Jesus when his own wife told him to curse God and die while Job suffered with boils all over his body scraping the boils off with a potsherd. Job said at Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in Him. 2 Timothy 1:12 says For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. Philippians 1:6 says Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

     When we continue to trust Jesus to overcome the devil and any trouble, we will be rewarded with peace, good health, and many blessings. Job 22:21 says Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Psalm 9:10 says And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 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 is everlasting strength.

     When anyone trusts Jesus for salvation they will not be rejected because Jesus saves whosoever takes the water of life (Jesus) freely. Revelation 22:17 says And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever (note the bible says whosoever and this speaks to anyone who reads this bible study forevermore) will, let him take the water of life freely. God's Word is true and the Lord Jesus will not cast away anyone that comes to Him for everlasting life and eternal blessings. John 6:37 says All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

     It doesn't matter who you are or where you are reading this bible study. You will be saved if you 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 will save whosoever comes to Him by faith. Romans 10:13 says For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Like King David say Psalm 116:13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus). When Brother Bob gets to the kingdom of God, I hope to see all the souls that were saved in the many nations that read Brother Bob's book for Jesus. This gives Brother Bob's life fulfillment and causes Brother Bob to rejoice while he preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ everywhere on this earth. I must rejoice and testify that Brother Bob's book for Jesus is now being seen by the Aborigines in the Australian outback, the Indians in the Brazilian jungle, and the Eskimos in northern Manitoba Canada.

     Notice some more blessings that christians receive when they trust Jesus to overcome the devil and this troubled world. Psalm 91:14 says Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Jesus is so good and gives us much more than our requests. Psalm 21:4 says that when King David asked for life, King David received length of days for ever and ever. King David received much more than his request. Psalm 21:4 says He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

     Let's learn what is on the hem of the robe of our High priest Jesus. Did you know that pomegranates and golden bells pictured above were on the hem of the high priest's robe when the high priest went into the holy place to minister to receive mercy for the sins of the people? The high priest would shake his robe making the golden bells ring to let the people know that the high priest was alive. The Lord Jesus is our high priest forever and has sprinkled His own blood on the mercy seat in heaven to remove our sins. The golden bells are ringing for ever in heaven because Jesus our High Priest has arisen from the dead and is alive for ever in the kingdom of God.

     Exodus 28:33 speaks about the picture above. And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about. And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

     And the good news is that Jesus who is our high priest for ever, unlike earthly priests of ancient times, constantly prays for all believers and saints to be blessed and overcome this world. Hebrews 7:25 says Wherefore He (the Lord Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. 

     God hears and answers righteous Jesus' prayers because James 5:16 says Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (Jesus) availeth much. 1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Jesus is righteousness. 

     Notice the picture above of the father of the prodigal son running to his son and receiving him again into his family. Note that the father ran to the lost son who returned home. Like the prodigal son, get saved and come to Jesus. The Lord Jesus will run to you, save you, and bless you greatly. Luke 15:20 says And he (the prodigal son) arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry.

     Be like the prodigal son and return to the Lord Jesus who will remove your sins and bless you with peace. Hosea 14:1 speaks about blessings you will receive when you return to the Lord Jesus. 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. 

     Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

      Jeremiah speaks about blessings you receive when you return to the Lord Jesus. Jeremiah 3:12 says Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
