Julius Hickerson's Blessed Missionary Journey To Colombia



The Story Of How Wealthy Dr. Julius Hickerson
Left Everything To Be A Missionary To Colombia South America

     In 1949 a Texas pastor and wealthy brilliant doctor named Julius Hickerson decided to become a missionary to Colombia South America. When he told his family and friends his plans to move and serve in Colombia, they all thought he was crazy. They said Julius Why are you leaving a successful career as a doctor and moving to the jungles of Colombia? You are wasting your life. Look at all the money you will lose.

     When Julius Hickerson arrived in Colombia, he worked two long years preaching the gospel and attending to the medical needs of the Colombian natives. Julius started a seminary in Cali Colombia to train Colombian natives to preach the gospel and build churches. But the Colombian natives were resistant to the good news of salvation. After 2 years of preaching Jesus every day to the natives, Julius did not win one native to our Lord Jesus Christ. It looked like Julius' family and friends were right when they said Julius you are wasting your life.

     And then one day when Dr. Hickerson was on a small plane flying medical supplies to a remote Colombian village, the plane crashed and Dr. Hickerson died. It seemed like all of Julius' efforts to be a missionary for Jesus were a waste of time. But remember, when anyone does anything for Jesus, it is never a waste of time. In fact only what we do for Jesus lasts. The story about Julius Hickerson does not end with Dr. Hickerson dying in a plane crash where nobody gets saved for Jesus.



How Julius Hickerson's Bible Found By A Colombian Native
Near His Plane's Wreckage Saved Many Natives In Colombia

     After Julius Hickerson died, new missionaries arrived in Colombia to continue Dr. Hickerson's missionary work. One day when the new missionaries were having a blessed bible study at Barranquilla Colombia, a group of Colombian natives wanted to participate in the service and worship the Lord Jesus Christ. These natives said that they were also followers of Jesus and had built many churches for Jesus throughout the  jungles of Colombia.

     The new missionaries were surprised because no one had ever preached about Jesus in the remote jungles of Colombia. They asked these natives How did you hear about Jesus and the gospel? The Colombian natives replied that they had found a book that came from heaven. The book that the natives found was a bible written in their language lying open on the ground several miles from where Julius Hickerson's plane was lost.

     After the natives found this bible, they began to read that bible and show the bible everywhere to other natives in the jungles of Colombia South America. One by one, as each native read that bible, they gave their lives to our Lord Jesus Christ and began to build churches everywhere in Colombia. After hearing this amazing story, one of the new missionaries opened the bible and rejoiced when he saw a name written on the inside of that bible: Julius Hickerson. 

     Dr. Hickerson's life was not wasted. Because Julius Hickerson was faithful and dedicated as a missionary to Colombia, Jesus used his bible after his death to save multitudes in Colombia. When we see Julius Hickerson in heaven, Julius will be rewarded greatly forever by Jesus with many crowns for being a faithful servant for our Lord Jesus. Remember anything done for our Lord Jesus is never wasted and Jesus blesses anyone for even the smallest good deed done to save souls for Jesus. Ironically, one of Julius Hickerson's favorite bible verses was Philippians 1:21 that says For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. And another missionary that died in South America named Jim Elliot trying to save the natives said No man is a fool who gives what he can not keep to gain what he can not lose.

Everybody Is Either Philippians 1:21 or Philippians 2:21
Philippians 1:21: For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 2:21: For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

Are you living for Jesus and blessing others?
Or Are you living for yourself?
Choose to live for Jesus by blessing others (Matthew 25:40)

     Become a dedicated servant for our Lord Jesus and decide today to give your life purpose by becoming a soul winner for Jesus. Jesus said at Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. In other words Jesus rejoices when just one sinner repents and gets saved with Jesus. Proverbs 11:30 says The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Right now like Dr. Hickerson, Brother Bob is going to be a soul winner and tell everyone how to get saved. 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.



It Was God's Word That Saved The Colombian Natives

     Even though Dr. Hickerson died, God used his bible (The Word of God) to save the Colombian natives. The Word of God by itself has supernatural power to save souls. God said at Isaiah 55:11 So shall my Word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. And Hebrews 4:12 says For the Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.  

     Be like Dr. Hickerson and don't complain while you keep working to save souls for our Lord Jesus. Rejoice through any troubles around you. Hebrews 6:10 says For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. Romans 8:18 says For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 2 Corinthians 4:17 says For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. By sacrificing the temporary we gain what is eternal. Let go of that which is fleeting and take hold of that which is of infinite worth. 

     I pray that this bible study about Julius Hickerson encourages everyone to live for Jesus and win souls to Jesus everywhere. 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.

Gladys Aylward's Blessed Missionary Journey To China

 


How Gladys Aylward Became A Blessed Missionary To China

     One day a teenager in England named Gladys Aylward read about a 72 year old missionary in China named Jeannie Lawson asking for help. Gladys knew that God was calling her to go to China as a missionary to help Ms. Lawson. But how could Gladys who was just a poor maid cleaning homes with no education or money get to China? Gladys believed that with God all things are possible and decided to save up money working as a maid for years to purchase a train ticket to China.

     Gladys tried to attend missionary training school in England to prepare for missionary work in China. But the director of the missionary school told Gladys that she was not smart enough to learn Chinese and did not recommend missionary work for Gladys. All Gladys had was Jesus to help her get to China. Gladys told Jesus, Jesus help me get to China; Oh Lord Jesus, here's my bible, here's my money, here's me. But Gladys learned that if you have Jesus, Jesus is all you need to overcome any trouble and make your blessed dreams come true.

     Gladys learned that when man says no, God says yes because we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. After several years, Gladys saved up her money and purchased a train ticket on the Trans Siberian Railway that would travel from England across Russia and Asia to China. During this journey Russian soldiers tried to imprison Gladys but Gladys escaped and was able to take a ship from
Vladvostik Russia to Japan and then to China.

     After years of determination, Gladys' dream of being a missionary in China happened and she eventually arrived in China and met missionary Jeannie Lawson. Like Gladys, friend reading this anywhere, with Jesus you can achieve your dreams to serve Jesus because Jesus overcomes any problem in this world. Jesus promised 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. Get saved today with Jesus and like Gladys overcome 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. 



Gladys Aylward Starts Her Missionary Work In China With Jeannie Lawson

     When Gladys Aylward arrived in China and met Jeannie Lawson, they both opened an inn for weary chinese travelers called the Inn of the Eight Happinesses. Gladys and Ms. Lawson would provide hospitality to travelers while they shared stories about Jesus and the bible daily trying to win souls for Jesus. Like Gladys, Brother Bob left everything as a teenager to live for Jesus and tell people all over this earth how to get saved using preachbrotherbob. Brother Bob left his family that had millions of dollars to trust that Jesus could use him to win souls for Jesus. And for 42 years Jesus has always taken care of Brother Bob and preachbrotherbob has reached a half a million people all over this earth for Jesus. 

     Remember to give your life purpose and meaning win souls for Jesus. Only what we do for Jesus on this earth matters and gets blessed. Proverbs 11:30 says The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Jude 22 says And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jesus told us at Luke 14:23 Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

     Unfortunately though, after just several months after meeting Jeannie Lawson, Ms. Lawson died. Pictured above we see Gladys sitting by Jeannie's casket. Now Gladys was thousands of miles away from her home in England with no one but Jesus to help her in remote China. Gladys just said a humble prayer asking Jesus to guide her steps. Like Gladys, Brother Bob was homeless with no one but Jesus to help him after I left all my Jewish relatives to live for Jesus. But like Gladys, Jesus always took care of Brother Bob and I never lacked food, clothing, or shelter for 42 years. 



Gladys Aylward Tells Little Chinese Orphans And Prisoners About Jesus

     Jesus was always with Gladys Aylward and gave her favor with the chinese people to become one of the greatest missionaries that ever lived. Gladys Aylward who lived from 1902-1970 was only 5 feet tall and had to stand on a box behind a pulpit to be seen. Everyone called Gladys The Small Woman With A Great God. After Jeannie Lawson died, a miracle occurred that allowed little insignificant Gladys Aylward to travel all around China and win multitudes to our Lord Jesus.

     For many years the feet of chinese girls were wrapped tightly at birth to keep them from growing big. The chinese thought small feet were prettier. However the chinese government created a new law which said that all foot wrapping must end. The chinese government was looking for officers who would go from village to village telling people that foot wrapping was now illegal. Gladys applied for the job and got it.

     Gladys immediately recognized the opportunity to win souls and tell everyone in China about Jesus. Gladys travelled thousands of miles going into small towns in China taking off foot bandages and telling everyone bible stories about Jesus. Through her efforts, many people in China got gloriously saved for Jesus. In the process, Gladys adopted over 100 little chinese abandoned orphans and the chinese people gave her a nickname; The Virtuous One.

     One time pictured above, Gladys risked her life by intervening in a violent chinese prison riot advocating prison reform. Gladys was so anointed by Jesus that just her presence at the prison stopped the riot, and Gladys was able to bless the prisoners with food and the blessed Word of God. Like Gladys sometimes God has you travel to a place where just your anointed presence can save lives and bless many people. The bible tells us that Peter would travel to certain places and just the presence of his shadow would heal people.



Gladys Aylward Leads 94 Orphans Safely Across Jungles And Mountains
For 12 Days Escaping From Japanese Enemy Soldiers

     In 1940, the Japanese invaded China. Gladys Aylward was counseled to quickly flee for her life. But Gladys refused to leave the little precious chinese orphans behind in danger. The parents of these chinese orphans had lost their lives in the Japanese war. Gladys Aylward attempted the unthinkable. She set out with 94 needy and noisy little orphans on a dangerous 12 day trek across many mountains and jungles attempting to arrive safely in Sian China while avoiding the enemy Japanese soldiers. Gladys and the little children would have to cross the Yellow River pictured above to safely arrive at Sian.

     Amazingly, through God's almighty guidance and protection they survived. On the 12th day of their journey through the jungles and mountains of China, they arrived at the Yellow River. But they had no way to cross the Yellow River. All boat traffic had been stopped and all civilian boats had been seized to keep them from the Japanese.

     The little children asked Gladys Why can't we cross the Yellow River? Gladys simply said there are no boats. But one little chinese girl said Gladys you be like Moses and part the Yellow River like the Red Sea. Then another little chinese orphan told Gladys don't be sad, God can do anything. Ask the Lord Jesus to get us across the Yellow River. Then on the bank of the Yellow River, 94 precious chinese children and one caregiver named Gladys Aylward knelt down and began to pray for Jesus to help them. After they all prayed, the little children sang a hymn.

     It was then that a chinese officer on patrol heard the little children singing and approached Gladys and the orphans. The chinese officer told them I can get you a boat to cross the Yellow River. Moments later a boat arrived and Gladys and the children crossed the Yellow River to safety in Sian. When Gladys Aylward arrived in Sian, all the little orphans were safe and taken care of by chinese families.




A Film Called The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness 
Celebrated The Blessed Life Of Gladys Aylward

A Book Called The Small Woman By Alan Burgess
Celebrated The Blessed Life Of Gladys Aylward

     Gladys Aylward is one of Brother Bob's favorite heroes for Jesus. When we meet Gladys in heaven she will be rewarded with many crowns for all the lives she saved for Jesus. Gladys Aylward simply wrote for our remembrance "I wasn't God's first choice for China; I don't know who it was; It must have been a well educated man. I don't know what happened. Perhaps he died; Perhaps he wasn't willing; All I know is God looked down and saw little 5 foot Gladys Aylward and God said, Well she's willing."

     After Gladys successfully saved the 94 chinese orphans at Sian, during the 1950's and 1960's she dedicated her life to the orphans in Taiwan. Gladys could no longer enter China because it became Communist and forbid christians to live in China. Gladys Aylward established the Bethany Children's Home in Taipei Taiwan that still exists today. Before she died, she told everyone about her orphans at China and Taiwan "These are my people. God has given them to me, and I will live or die with them for Him and His (Jesus') glory."

     You can read a blessed book about the life of Gladys Aylward called The Small Woman by Alan Burgess. You can click  https://ok.ru/video/3492153068032 and watch a blessed movie about the life of this incredible woman for Jesus named Gladys Aylward called The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness starring Ingrid Bergman as Gladys Aylward.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study about Gladys Aylward encourages multitudes all over this earth to live for Jesus and win souls everywhere for Jesus. I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.

Blessings When People Shout Praises To the Lord Jesus



What Happens When People Shout Praises To The Lord Jesus

     There are many benefits and blessings when people shout praises to the Lord Jesus. First Psalm 22:3 tells us that God inhabitest the praises of Israel. And when the Lord Jesus dwells around people praising Him, peace, strength, and healing will occur for everyone. Even if you don't feel like praising Jesus, praise Jesus anyhow with 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. Remember that the joy of the Lord is your strength and whenever anyone praises Jesus they will receive strength to overcome their troubles. 

     The bible has many scriptures telling people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus. Whenever you preach to a group of people, have everyone at the same time shout praises to the Lord Jesus. I guarantee that everyone in the place will get blessed. Psalm 47:1 says O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. Psalm 98:4 says Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Psalm 5:11 says But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

     Psalm 150:6 says Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. In other words everything including lost and saved people and all creation should praise our Lord Jesus for dying on the cross of Calvary for our sins and offering salvation to sinners. Right now get saved and receive joy, peace and strength. 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. 

     Brother Bob has been in some places where everyone shouted. Sadly it wasn't in the church. I used to watch Mike Schmidt hit a home run at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia and all the people shouted. I used to watch Julius Erving slam dunk at the Spectrum in Philadelphia and all the people shouted. It's a shame that in the worldly crowds at sporting events everyone can shout but most of the time you can't get anyone to shout praises to the Lord Jesus at the house of God. 

     Some people go to church to laugh and talk, others to walk; some go to church the time to spend, others to find a friend; some go to church for observation, some for speculation; Some go to meet a lover, others a fault to cover; But most go to church to doze and nod, but some how few to worship God.



Six Times In The Bible When It's Right 
For People To Shout Praises To The Lord Jesus
1) Leviticus 9:24
When Destitute Wickedness Is Replaced

     The first time it was right for people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Leviticus 9:24. Even though all the people were destitute and wicked sinners, God allowed Aaron to bring a substitute sacrifice for the sins of the people. After Aaron made a wave offering of a bullock and ram, all the peoples' sins were forgiven. Therefore the bible says that all the people shouted praises to the Lord Jesus because God accepted this animal sacrifice that removed sin. 

     Leviticus 9:24 says And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. When destitute wickedness is replaced, all the people should shout praises to the Lord Jesus.

     Like the people that shouted praises for Aaron's animal sacrifice, christians should shout praises because of the Lord Jesus' sacrifice at the cross of Calvary. This is because Jesus (our great high priest) walked into the Holy of holies in heaven and Jesus presented Himself and His own blood to the Father and the blood of Jesus cleansed christians from their sins forever. Hebrews 9:12 says Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He (Jesus) entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Christians should shout praises to the Lord Jesus because Jesus removed our sins with His precious blood. Right now like the people of Aaron's day, give Jesus a wave offering and thank him for shedding His precious blood that removed all our sins forever.

     Christians should shout praises to the Lord Jesus because they passed from death unto life. Christians should shout praises about the fact that once they were in darkness but now they are in the marvellous light. Christians should shout praises about the fact that because of Jesus they don't have to die and go to hell. Christians should shout praises because they have been saved by the grace of God.

     Ephesians 2:1 says And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved.



2) Exodus 33:10
When A Definite Way Has Been Revealed

     Another time it was right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Exodus 33:10. And all the people saw the cloudy pillar (God's glory) stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. All the people shouted praises to the Lord Jesus because the cloudy pillar gave them direction. A definite way had been revealed. The cloudy pillar led the Jews out of Egypt, protected the Jews from Pharoah, and led the Jews through the Red Sea. These Jews shouted praises because they knew what they were following and they knew where they were going.

     The cloudy pillar appeared as God's shekinah glory in Solomon's temple. 1 Kings 8:10 says And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. 

     The bible says that our saved bodies are the temple of God and the Holy Spirit (like the cloudy pillar) dwells in saved saints' temple bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19 says What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Romans 8:9 says But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. Like the cloudy pillar, the Holy Ghost will never leave us nor forsake us. The Holy Ghost will not leave us comfortless. The Holy Ghost will always lead us and teach us about our Lord Jesus. Shout praises to the Lord Jesus because a definite way has been revealed to christians by the Holy Ghost.


3) Ezra 3:13
When A Damaged Work Has Been Revived

     The third time it was right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Ezra 3:13. During Ezra's time, the Jews were led away into captivity because they rejected the Word of God. But after the Jews were delivered, Ezra read the Word of God to the people and rebuilt the temple that had been destroyed earlier by the Babylonians. The people shouted because a damaged work had been revived and their temple was rebuilt. After Ezra preached the blessed Word, Ezra 3:13 says So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off. 

     Brother Bob says christians in this world like Ezra should preach the Word of God everywhere to save lost sinners anywhere on this earth. Like Ezra, witness Jesus everywhere and when lost sinners get saved, a damaged work will be revived. Then saved sinners everywhere will be able to shout praises to the Lord Jesus. 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.


4) Joshua 6:20
When Difficult Walls Are Removed

     The fourth time it was right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Joshua 6:20. The wall around Jericho seemed insurmountable for the Jews to conquer. But after seven days when the Jews shouted with a great shout, the wall of Jericho fell down flat. Joshua 6:20 says So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. It was right for the people to shout so difficult walls could be removed.

     When the devil puts a wall before you, shout praises to the Lord Jesus and God will quickly remove that wall. If you are facing a difficult wall that needs to be removed; it might be a health wall, it might be a financial wall, it might be a wall in your marriage, it might be a wall with one of your children, it might be a wall about a lost loved one that you don't know how they can be saved. Brother Bob has good news for everyone. When christians shout praises to the Lord Jesus, all the walls from the devil will be removed, disappear, and come tumbling down. 

     Joshua's army at Jericho shouted before the wall came down. Shout praises to the Lord Jesus when you see any wall in your way, and the difficult wall will be removed. Walk by faith and not by sight and keep praising Jesus through any trouble and soon the trouble will disappear. 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 against him. Note that the Hebrew definition for standard is Jehovah Nissi banner that causes the devil to flee quickly and disappear. When the devil comes in like a flood, the Spirit lifts up a standard and makes the devil flee quickly and disappear. Shout praises to the Lord Jesus and difficult walls will be removed while the devil flees quickly and disappears.


5) Judges 7:20
When Deadly Wars Are Relinquished

     The fifth time it was right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus occurred at Judges 7:20. God dwindled Gideon's army down from 32000 to 300 men to fight the Midianites. It didn't look like only 300 men could defeat thousands of Midianites. But when all of Gideon's army of only 300 men shouted "The Sword of the Lord, and of Gideon" they got the victory over the enemy. Like Gideon's army, when people shout praises to the Lord Jesus, deadly wars will be relinquished. 

     Judges 7:20 says And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon. Note that the word cried means that the 300 men gave a loud shout when they shouted The Sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. Like Gideon's army, if people will give a loud shout of praise to the Lord Jesus, the devil will be defeated. Whenever anyone shouts at one of Brother Bob's meetings, I tell them to shout louder to totally defeat the devil. Someone once told me the problem with you Brother Bob is you talk too much about Jesus. I told that person Correction I need to talk more about Jesus and thanks for the compliment. 

     Note that when the 300 men for Gideon shouted, they had a lamp in one hand and a trumpet in the other hand. The lamp and trumpet represent the Word of God. Psalm 119:105 says Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. According to Revelation 1:10 the Word of Jesus sounds like a trumpet. Christians should shout praises to the Lord Jesus because the Word Jesus like a trumpet and lamp dwells in our hearts. When christians shout praises to the Lord Jesus, like Gideon's army, they will get the victory over the devil and deadly wars will be relinquished.


6) Revelation 5:11-14
When Destined Worship Is Realized

     The sixth time it is right for the people to shout praises to the Lord Jesus will occur at Revelation 5:11-14. When the Lord Jesus takes the book mentioned at Revelation 5:7 and opens the seals thereof, multitudes everywhere (infinite angels and billions of people everywhere) will shout praises to the Lord Jesus. 

     Revelation 5:11 says And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 

     Revelation 5:13 says And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. Everything that ever existed including the devil will shout praises to the Lord Jesus for taking the book and opening the seals thereof. Everyone will sing a new song to Jesus at Revelation 5:9 saying Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. 

     One of these days soon on the sunny banks of Zion we're going to see the Lamb of God Jesus that was slain who redeemed us to God by His blood and all of heaven is going to praise the Lord Jesus. Innumerable angels and christians are going to shout with a loud voice Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Everyone should shout praises to our Wonderful Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

     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.
