Realize that the Lord Jesus can be present in the highest heavens and deepest oceans. People can try to run and hide from the Lord Jesus but these people will discover that Jesus is everywhere. The prophet Amos tells us at Amos 9:2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.
Jesus continuously offers peace and life to anyone that gets saved. A person might run to the remotest spot on this earth to escape from God, but the Lord Jesus has so much love and can save lost sinners anywhere on this earth. 2 Peter 3:9 says The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Allow the Lord Jesus to save and bless you today. 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.
An example in the bible of a man who tried to run from God and found out that God is everywhere was Jonah. If you study the story of Jonah, you will learn that Jonah chose to go to Joppa (a beautiful place) instead of obeying God's command for Jonah to go and preach to the sinners of Nineveh. Jonah ran from God and chose to take a luxury cruise ship at beautiful Joppa on the Mediterranean Sea to travel to Tarshish. Jonah found out quickly that even though he experienced the pleasure of sin for a season at beautiful Joppa, the Lord Jesus was present creating a mighty tempest or storm where Jonah was thrown overboard and swallowed by a whale. Like Jonah, we need to realize that when a person chooses to turn from God and selfishly enjoy the pleasures of this world, no peace will occur. Jonah did not experience deliverance until Jonah submitted to and worshipped God in the belly of the whale, willing to obey God's original command to preach to the sinners at Nineveh. As a result, the whale released Jonah and Jonah gladly preached to the people of Nineveh.
Jonah 1:1 says Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amitai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof (note that when a person runs from God they lose money and Jonah had to pay a fare), and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
Learn a lesson from Jonah and walk by faith and not by sight. Sin might appear beautiful like Joppa but will only lead to trouble. Lot like Jonah also made the mistake of choosing to live in the well watered plain of Sodom and Gomorrah that appeared beautiful to his sight. And remember how the devil made the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil appear pleasant to Eve's eyes. We must obey Jesus with our hearts by faith and not let your eyes and sight dictate how we serve Jesus. Lot discovered that beautiful Sodom and Gomorrah was full of sin and had to escape for his life when Sodom and Gomorrah was burned and destroyed. Eve discovered that the pleasant fruit created sin and trouble.
I must testify that I once heard a preacher say that every missionary would love to travel and minister in beautiful Hawaii while they relax from the peaceful ocean breeze. But I'd rather be in the will of Jesus and if Jesus told Brother Bob to go win souls in the remote parts of cold Alaska and Siberia, or the hot Sahara desert of Algeria, Brother Bob would find more peace in the will of God and consider it an honor to go to Alaska, Siberia, or Algeria seeing souls won to Jesus.
I must testify that this week Algeria in the Sahara Desert started reading Brother Bob's book for Jesus and I ask all my friends to pray for Algeria that these people in the Sahara desert get saved. Right now saint reading this anywhere say Lord Jesus make me a willing vessel to travel anywhere to any nation as an instrument of God to lead lost souls to salvation with Jesus. Brother Bob would consider it an honor and rather be in the will of God winning lost souls to Jesus in the jungles of Brazil or the outback of Australia where the aborigines live instead of selfishly enjoying a pleasure cruise ship to beautiful Joppa like Jonah.

Left click the picture above to view a blessed painting at the Sistine Chapel in Italy by Botticelli (1445-1510) called The Temptations of Jesus Christ. In the top left we see the Lord Jesus being tempted by the devil while fasting in the wilderness for forty days. The devil tells the Lord Jesus at Matthew 4:3 If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread, But He (the Lord Jesus) answered, and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
In the top center the devil and the Lord Jesus stand on the roof of a temple. The devil challenges the Lord Jesus to let Himself fall because surely He will be caught by angels. Matthew 4:5 says Then the devil taketh him (the Lord Jesus) up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto Him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
On the top right the devil and the Lord Jesus are on a high cliff. The devil offers the Lord Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. Matthew 4:8 says Again, the devil taketh Him (the Lord Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. After the devil left the Lord Jesus, notice the angels in the picture above ministering strength to the Lord Jesus. Matthew 4:11 says Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him.
The main part of the fresco shows an offering. It probably is the sacrifice offered by a leper to the priest after he was healed by the Lord Jesus at Matthew 8:2. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him (the Lord Jesus), 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.
When you look at Botticelli's painting of the three temptations of Jesus, realize that it takes the Lord Jesus to rebuke and resist the devil. I will now proceed to give you all a lesson in effectively rebuking devils. So many people try in themselves to fight and resist the devil and this is a mistake. It takes the Lord Jesus to rebuke and resist the devil. One can not effectively rebuke the devil by saying I (not the Lord Jesus) rebuke thee satan. Jesus said at Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name (Jesus) shall they cast out devils.
First let's look at Jude 9 that says Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. Note the key words of this scripture. The Lord (not I) rebuke thee. It takes the Lord Jesus and not ourselves to resist and make the devil flee like the picture above where satan had to flee when Jesus said Get behind me Satan on the far upper right. Also note that Michael did not in himself bring a railing accusation and get angry or mad at the devil. Michael submitted to God and allowed the Lord Jesus to rebuke the devil.

Jesus showed Brother Bob that since only the Lord Jesus can rebuke the devil, daily by faith look to Jesus Christ crucified with your heart and then the Lord Jesus will automatically make the devil flee. You see Jesus is the Word of God and the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Tell the devil in Jesus name that the Word who is Jesus lives in you and that according to Isaiah 14:15 the devil is brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit and that according to Psalm 140:8-10 when the head of the wicked (the devil) is in the pit of hell he will not rise up again.
Psalm 140:8-10 says Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. As for the head of those that compass me about (the devil), let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Therefore daily ask in the name of Jesus the angels of the Lord Jesus to bind satan and send him to the pit of hell where he won't rise up. Then ask in the name of Jesus the angels of the Lord Jesus to cover and send over your home, car, and everywhere you travel the blood of Jesus that overcomes the devil.
Revelation 12:11 says And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. The blood of Jesus is the most powerful weapon against the devil. The blood of Jesus is a fence that the devil can't enter that overcomes and defeats satan. When the devil or any trouble sees the blood of Jesus, they must pass over you.
Claim territory for Jesus in your nation. Since Jesus is light and one with the Holy Ghost unquenchable fire, for every neighborhood, city, country, and territory you visit, claim that the light of Jesus in you causes all darkness and evil to disappear and flee quickly. Also claim that the unquenchable Holy Ghost fire in you burns out and destroys every root and branch of evil witchcraft in a country. Always say in the name of Jesus when you pray and Jesus will grant your prayer requests if you deny sin and stay in the perfect will of God. Jesus said at John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
I once asked Jesus where in the bible does it say that the unquenchable fire of the Lord Jesus and the Holy Ghost burns away and destroys the root and branch of evil witchcraft and Jesus replied Malachi 4:1 that says For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. Psalm 97:3 says A fire goeth before Him (the Lord Jesus), and burneth up his enemies round about.
Isaiah taught us how to claim territory for the Lord Jesus. In Jesus name, I claim that all my friends in the many nations receive the promise of Isaiah 54:2 and that the Lord Jesus will like light remove all darkness in my friends' nations. Lord Jesus let the unquenchable fire of the Holy Ghost burn out every root and branch of witchcraft for anyone reading this in their nation. Isaiah 54:2 says Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

The Lord Jesus knows the billions of infinite stars by number and by name. This thought alone should make anyone fear God and worship our Lord Jesus forever. Psalm 147:4 says He (Jesus) telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. In other words God knows the number and names of the billions of stars in our milky way galaxy (consisting of 9 planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto), and the infinite galaxies beyond separated by interstellar space.
Jesus made billions of snowflakes with the same shape
All snowflakes have 6 sides that bond together in a hexagonal lattice
But every snowflake has a different size
No two snowflakes are alike
Jesus made beaches with millions of pieces of sand all the same shape and size
Jesus knows the numbers and names of all the billions of stars
Psalm 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.
Notice the precious picture above of a little girl happy about her new birthday present. Brother Bob says to all my friends everywhere remember when you look at the happy little girl with her birthday present, whenever we open our bibles, it is like opening a birthday present that is always new. Things in the world get old and boring, but the Word of God never gets boring and is always new like a birthday present. We could read a bible verse a million times and that bible verse will always be new and make us happy like opening a brand new birthday present.
You will never get bored reading the bible because John 21:25 says And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. The peace of the Lord Jesus is infinite and the Word of God never gets boring because the Word of God lasts forever. Psalm 119:89 says For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. Jesus said at Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Keep seeking Jesus and learning about the KJV Word of God because it is like seeking for treasure and you will constantly discover new revelations and insights. Psalm 119:162 says I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. Ransack the 1611 KJV Word of God. Proverbs 2:2 says So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. Just picture how happy a person is when he discovers hidden treasure worth millions of dollars. When you look at the Word of God, start rejoicing and leaping for joy like you discovered a hidden treasure worth millions of dollars.

A birthday present is new and brings joy. Let me list for you all the new things we receive when Jesus comes into our lives. Revelation 21:5 says And He (Jesus) that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. When we come to Jesus we receive a new song because Psalm 40:3 says And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Also when we come to Jesus, we receive a new and living way because Hebrews 10:20 says By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh.
When we come to Jesus, we receive a new name because Isaiah 62:2 says And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Let me state that this new name will be given to christians in a white stone that only that particular christian will know because Revelation 2:17 says He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Saved christians will receive three new blessed names in the kingdom of God. They will receive the name of God, the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, and Jesus' new name. Jesus said at Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. What a blessing it will be to learn Jesus' new name.
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.
