It is not God

It is not God

Jesus is God

     Take a look at Hosea 8:5-6 where God told the Samaritans not to worship a calf saying It is not God. This is because God is not a calf or any thing called It. God is a person named Jesus Christ. God told the Samaritans Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off (in other words Samaria you trusted in a calf to save you instead of the Lord Jesus and your calf has gotten rid of you); mine anger is kindled against them (because they worshipped a calf instead of the Lord Jesus): how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? For from Israel was It also: the workman made It (the calf); therefore It is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces (notice that God is not a neuter; God is not a thing; God is a person named Jesus Christ; God warns us that It is not God). This is one of the greatest statements in the bible. 

     Therefore anyone that recommends a thing (It) instead of Jesus Christ for salvation is a false teacher and is incorrect. Anyone that recommends Jesus Christ instead of a thing (It) for salvation is a true teacher and is correct. Brother Bob will tell everyone the truth and offer salvation. 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. Trust Jesus for salvation and get saved. Trust any thing else for salvation and be lost forever in hell and the lake of fire.

Scriptures Proving That Jesus Is God That Saves

It is not God and does not save

     Notice the following scriptures that prove that Jesus Christ instead of It is God. Romans 14:9 says For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. John 17:3 says And this is life eternal (salvation), that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Acts 2:36 says Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Philippians 2:10 says That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  

     Romans 10:9 tells us that a person must confess with his mouth the Lord Jesus (not a thing or It) to be saved and believe in his heart that God has raised him from the dead. You don't confess a thing or It to be saved. You confess a person named the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. Lost people without Jesus think they are saved and have eternal peace when you hear them say I FOUND IT. But when a person gets saved, instead of saying I FOUND IT, they'll say I FOUND HIM (The Lord Jesus). Salvation is in a person named Jesus and not a thing named It. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

     If anyone wants victory over the devil and this world, they will have to trust in Jesus Christ crucified and cover themselves by faith in the blood of Jesus. The bible says at Revelation 12:11 that we overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) and by the word of our testimony. Trusting in a thing (It) instead of Jesus can not save you from the troubles of this world. But if we say I am crucified with Jesus Christ and tell the devil he is defeated because we are covered by the blood of Jesus, we will have victory and peace in our lives. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

     Now when you tell everyone that Jesus is God that can save you instead of It, you will not be very popular. In fact you'll be persecuted for lifting up the name of Jesus. But rejoice because when men speak evil about you because of Jesus you are preaching the truth. But when everyone is speaking well of you take heed to the warning stated at Luke 6:26: Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you. for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 

     Remember the first commandment tells us at Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God (not a thing or an It) with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. It's all about Jesus and not any substitute thing or It. Like the bride of Jesus Christ at Song of Solomon 3:4, lets rejoice and say It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found Him (Jesus) whom my soul loveth; I held Him, and would not let Him go, until I had brought Him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. Remember rejoice and say I found Him (Jesus) instead of saying I found It. 

     In other words if you want to have a lot of phony friends and be loved and admired by everyone, tell people that a thing or It is God giving salvation and peace instead of Jesus. You'll become very popular but eventually you'll realize that It is not God and It can not save you and you'll end up in hell and the lake of fire forever in torment. It's too bad that whenever most politicians pray today they say Bless God but never mention the name Jesus. Jesus said that if you are ashamed of me, I'll be ashamed of you. But if you confess Jesus before men like Brother Bob on this internet, Jesus will confess you before the angels of God, remove all your sins, and give you eternal salvation and peace. Luke 12:8 says Also I (Jesus) say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

     Take a look at this advertisement years ago in a magazine from a false preacher that knew nothing about salvation with Jesus. This unsaved preacher said Christianity is a new reality; It is a new state of things that appear; It is here; It is there; Accept It and renew It; Let It grasp you. Now that's what I call a cooky man that's nutty as a fruitcake and knows nothing about salvation with Jesus. Someone needs to tell this false preacher It is not God. Jesus is God that saves.

It (The Ark Of The Covenant) Was Not God

And Could Not Save Israel

     The elders of Israel learned that It (The Ark Of The Covenant) could not save them from the Philistines. These elders of Israel trusted a thing (The Ark Of The Covenant) instead of the Lord Jesus to save them from the Philistines and lost the battle. 1 Samuel 4:3 says And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that when It cometh among us, It may save us out of the hand of our enemies. 

     Notice what happened to the people of Israel because they trusted in a thing (the ark of the covenant) instead of the Lord Jesus for salvation. 1 Samuel 4:10 says And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel 30000 footmen. And the ark of God was taken (by the Philistines); and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. Remember a thing ( an ark or tabernacle) can't save anyone. Only the Lord Jesus can save anyone. Trust in Jesus today and get saved instead of any substitute thing or It in this world.

     Don't be like Eli's sons (wicked Hophni and Phinehas) who disobeyed and withstood their father Eli by laying with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (1 Samuel 2:22). The sins of Hophni and Phinehas led to Eli's death, their death, and the loss of the ark of God. After Phinehas' wife died while giving birth to Ichabod,1 Samuel 4:21 says And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken. Note that Ichabod, Judas, and Jezebel are bad names and countries forbid people to name their children Ichabod, Judas, or Jezebel. 

     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. 

Reconciliation With Jesus

What Is Reconciliation From Jesus Christ After Salvation

     Reconciliation occurs when two enemies that are apart forgive each other and come together as friends through our mediator the Lord Jesus Christ. Before salvation, people are enemies of God needing to be reconciled to God by Jesus Christ. I pray in Jesus name anyone reading this will get reconciled to God and saved for Jesus right now. Repent, stop sinning, confess Jesus to be your God, and believe that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.  Colossians 1:21 tells us And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He (Jesus) reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight. 

     Therefore reconciliation to God by salvation can only occur through faith in a person named Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:18 tells us And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. To wit that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the Word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 

     Notice that when reconciliation occurs, forgiveness must exist where past sins are forgotten without grudges or any bitterness. A preacher once told me that his friend kept reminding him about three ladies that slandered and lied about his ministry six years ago. The preacher told that friend do you want me to bake you a cake with six candles on it? In other words, the preacher told his friend forgive the ladies and forget their past sins because bitterness and grudges create sickness. Remember Hebrews 12:15 tells us Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. Take heed to this warning and remember that bitterness, unforgiveness, and grudges create trouble and harm many people. Just remember this motto for peace; Avoid angry people and forgive forever when the angry person calms down and asks for your mercy.

How To Be Reconciled And Bury The Hatchet

Like Edward Everett Hale

Remember reconciliation occurs when you

bury the hatchet and don't leave the handle

sticking out where you can pick it up later

     Like Edward Everett Hale, be reconciled to everyone, bury the hatchet, and don't leave the handle sticking out where you can pick it up later. Before Edward Everett Hale died, he said I'm 80 years old and I've only had one real enemy in my whole lifetime and I can't remember what his name was. I challenge everyone reading this today to be like Edward Everett Hale and not remember the names of any of your enemies. Love the unloveable everywhere and forgive everyone. The result will be great peace and joy in your life. Remember everyone reaps what they sow. If you sow gentleness, kindness, and forgiveness, people will be gentle, kind, and forgiving to you. If you sow bitterness, crabbiness, and complaints, people will be bitter, crabby, and complain about you. Jesus said that a man must show himself friendly to have friends. I went out to find a friend and could not find one anywhere; I went out to be a friend and friends were everywhere.  

How Leonardo Da Vinci Learned About Reconciliation

     Leonardo Da Vinci learned about reconciliation while he worked on his painting called the Last Supper. After Leonardo had a bad argument with a competing painter, Leonardo tried to paint this competitor as Judas to shame his rival. But because Leonardo had unforgiving bitterness, he could not paint the face of Jesus for months. Only when Leonardo forgave by fading out the face of his competitor as Judas, was he able to paint the face of Jesus. Like Leonardo Da Vinci if you forgive all your enemies, bad memories will be erased from your minds and you will have sweet peaceful fellowship with our Lord Jesus.

     History tells us that Leonardo Da Vinci then had an innocent 19 year old man pose as a model for Jesus. After six years when Jesus and 11 disciples were painted for the Last Supper, Da Vinci had to paint Judas again. Leonardo then found a man in a dungeon in Rome to pose as Judas. And lo and behold this was the same man that posed for Jesus six years earlier. Da Vinci didn't recognize this man or realize that this innocent man had become a criminal who looked like Judas.

How Righteousness And Peace Experienced Reconciliation

Psalm 85:10 tells us

Mercy and truth are met together

Righteousness and peace have kissed each other

     Years ago in the Garden of Eden righteousness and peace kissed each other and were married. One day after Adam and Eve sinned, righteousness fell and peace departed. And for 4000 years and the entire old testament, righteousness and peace could not get together. Then after righteousness who is Jesus Christ died on the cross, peace asked righteousness Can I come back now? And righteousness said peace come back; All is forgiven. Then peace asked righteousness How come I couldn't come back before the cross? Righteousness replied I wasn't satisfied until Jesus died on the cross. Now there can be peace. Peace come back home. And peace and righteousness met at the cross of Calvary with the ministry of reconciliation.

How Judah Learned About Reconciliation

     Judah learned about reconciliation after he found a silver cup in the sack of his brother Benjamin. Judah tried by good works to save his family by returning the silver cup to Joseph claiming that he wasn't stealing like a thief. Judah thought his good works brought salvation when his family was invited to a feast with Joseph. But during the feast, Judah learned that reconciliation and salvation doesn't occur by good works when Joseph had him arrested. Only after Joseph (a type of Jesus) revealed himself to Judah and his brothers did reconciliation, salvation, and forgiveness occur. In other words, Judah was saved by grace and not by his good works. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Become An Ambassador For Jesus Christ

Preaching The Message Of Reconciliation

Instead of preaching 

Sociology preach salvation

Not economics but evangelism

Not reform but redemption

Not culture but conversion

Not progress but pardon

Not the new social order but the new birth

Not revolution but revival

Not recessitation but resurrection

Not a new organization but a new creature

Not civilization but Christ

        Christians are ambassadors for Jesus from the greatest government in the universe. Christians everywhere can proclaim "I am an ambassador for Jesus sent with a royal commission to deliver an important message of reconciliation". I come with royal orders proclaiming and shouting my blessed commission: Be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

     Read a blessed law from 1950 about reconciliation. This law said that no magazine or newspaper had the right to talk about a criminal's public or private life after a court ruled that the criminal was not guilty. The law further stated that every individual on this earth is entitled to some privacy and it is an invasion of privacy to slander a criminal after he is set free. The criminal's past crimes are to be forgotten and the criminal should enjoy obscurity and the blessedness of privacy.

     Like this blessed law from 1950 about reconciliation, when a man is forgiven by Jesus Christ of all his past sins, the matter is over and fully resolved. In other words, all saved saints have the blessed right to enjoy freedom where their past sins will never be mentioned again and become forgotten forever. John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Stories About Manifestations Of Salvation After Reconciliation

How Old Leon The Bar Bouncer Got Saved And Won Thousands For Jesus

       Old Leon was a five foot five inch 200 pound bar bouncer in Dallas that got saved. After Old Leon got saved he passed out gospel tracts everywhere in all the nightclubs of Dallas to thousands of sinners. Old Leon would bring thousands of sinners to church from many beer joints. He brought the wildest looking crew to church that you ever saw. Old Leon remembered that sinners can come as they are to Jesus. Old Leon would proclaim Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will (any criminal, murderer, drunkard, or drug addict), let him take the water of life freely.  

A Blessed Saying From Old Leon During A Revival

Preacher you keep saying 

Give a tenth; Give a tenth

I don't know what a tenth is

But here are two fifths

How A Card Shark Got Saved And Became A Great Soul Winner For Jesus

     A card shark that had gotten saved for Jesus was traveling on a train. When asked if he wanted to play cards with 5 men, he declined. But they kept telling the card shark Come on, let's deal you in. The card shark replied I won't play cards but show me a card and I'll tell you a message from God. They showed him the 5 of spades. 

     The card shark said that the two dots on the top of the card are your eyes; The dot in the middle is your mouth and the two marks on the bottom are your knees. For the two dots as eyes he quoted Revelation 1:7 to the men; Behold He (Jesus) cometh with clouds and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so Amen. For the middle dot as the mouth and the 2 bottom dots as the knees, he quoted Philippians 2:10-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue (mouth) should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

     The card shark told the 5 men if you don't bow your knees to Jesus as God and confess Jesus to be Lord, someday you'll be in hell screaming for a drop of water. This is because the 5 spades are literal 5 spades that will dig your graves and send you to hell unless you accept John 1:12 But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. 

     Then the card shark told the 5 men Promise me that you will accept Jesus today as your Lord and get saved. He didn't get any response and the 5 men ran out of the train like quails scattering at the sound of a shotgun. Ten years later a man met this card shark on a street corner and said Good evening. The card shark replied It's a good evening if you're washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. The man said Glad to see you're still at it. 

     Then the man told the card shark, I was on that train ten years ago with my friends; Three of them are dead; They put them to bed with a spade. My other friend is under conviction and wants to know how to get saved. I got saved the very day you warned us about Jesus on the train. Remember when you said Promise me that you'll accept Jesus today and get saved. I'm the promise that you didn't get that day.

How The Apostle Paul Experienced Reconciliation

     One day Saul was going to Damascus to kill the saints of God. Several days later Paul (who was Saul) is preaching from a pulpit that Jesus is God and telling everyone to get saved. Paul got reconciled and saved after he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Paul became a new creature and wrote most of our blessed new testament. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

A Poem About Saul's Reconciliation And Salvation

With blood upon my fingers

And upon my brow a frown

I wipe my knife and

Took my way to Damascus town

All hell came forth applauding

As I went marching down

To persecute and crucify

In Damascus town

The saints of God in terror

Under my feet went down

Like trodden angels

On my way to Damascus town

I fell and God stood over me

His hand had thrust me down

Tonight they wait in vain

For me in Damascus town

And they're gonna have a long wait in Damascus town

Because Saul is never gonna show up

Saul had a manifestation of reconciliation

And is now Paul preaching Jesus

In Damascus town
