The Four Responses To An Offer Of Salvation And Peace With Jesus

 

What Shall I Do Then With Jesus Which Is Called Christ?
This Is The Most Important Question Ever Asked
How Will You Respond?

     Pontius Pilate spoke the most important question ever asked at Matthew 27:22: What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? Friend reading this anywhere on earth, How will you respond to this question? It's the most important question to consider during your life on earth. What you do with Jesus on this earth will determine your eternal destiny. Trust Jesus and go to heaven with eternal peace. Deny Jesus and go to hell with eternal torment. People study four years in college for a career that lasts 50 years but they won't take 5 minutes to determine where they will spend eternity.  I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this on earth will 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. 

     On October 8, 1871 DL Moody preached Matthew 27:22 at Chicago, Illinois telling his congregation What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? He asked the congregation to consider what they should do with Jesus Christ and decide about their salvation the next week. When everyone left the church that day, the entire city of Chicago was on fire and DL Moody's church was burned with nothing left. When DL Moody saw the ruins of his church, he realized that he failed to offer salvation to 2000 people on October 8, 1871. DL Moody vowed that he would offer salvation during every sermon he preached regardless of the number of people. 

     Like DL Moody, when you preach anywhere, always offer salvation to the people. The one person that gets saved by your offer of salvation could become a great soul winner that helps save millions of lost sinners all over this earth. Remember don't delay your response to an offer of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.  



The Four Responses To An Offer Of Salvation And Peace With Jesus
1) A Denial Of Jesus By Saved People Because Of Persecution

     The first response to an offer of salvation and peace with Jesus is a denial of Jesus by saved people during persecution and trouble. Peter who was saved denied Jesus when he faced trouble and the possibility of suffering death because he was a friend of Jesus. Peter's denial is recorded at Matthew 26:69 that says Now Peter sat without in the palace and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 

     Peter denied knowing Jesus cursing like a sailor to a damsel in the palace, a maid on the porch, and then to Malchus (the man whose ear was injured by Peter and healed by Jesus; I'm sure Malchus remembered Peter). Then the rooster crowed twice after a thrice denial by Peter where you had a preachin' chicken and a chicken preacher face to face. Eventually Peter repented after Jesus saw him fishing naked with the disciples. Jesus forgave Peter and told Peter three times Lovest thou me to erase Peter's three time denial. After this Peter became a great preacher that won 3000 souls to Jesus after Pentecost with a great anointing where just his shadow would heal multitudes of people.

     Don't be like Peter and deny Jesus because of persecution and the troubles of this world. Be a good soldier for Jesus and stay with Jesus through sufferings and troubles. 2 Timothy 2:3 says Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 

     Remember Jesus said at Luke 9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. Brother Bob denied his flesh in 1982 and left millions of dollars and his entire Jewish family to serve Jesus. As a result, Jesus saved Brother Bob and preachbrotherbob blog has reached half a million people all over this earth and multitudes of lost sinners have been saved with eternal life in heaven. 

     Don't be like Peter and sin where you blame your troubles on God. It's the devil that brings trouble. Remember James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 

     Someone once told a preacher "I don't have to worry about the devil because he's bound." The preacher replied "If the devil is bound before the millennium, he sure has a long chain." But eventually during the 1000 year millennium, the devil will be bound on the chain gang and sealed and locked in a bottomless pit falling with no bottom for 1000 years bound with a great chain. Revelation 20:1 says And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, and satan, and bound him 1000 years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the 1000 years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 



The Four Responses To An Offer Of Salvation And Peace With Jesus
2) Remaining Neutral And Making No Decision About Jesus That Is A Rejection

     The second response to an offer of salvation and peace with Jesus is remaining neutral and making no decision about Jesus that is a rejection. Pontius Pilate the politician is an example of someone who rejected Jesus because he made no decision about Jesus by washing his hands of the matter. Matthew 27:24 says When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 

     When you make no decision about Jesus like Pilate you reject Jesus. These neutral people about Jesus always say If Jesus makes you happy Robert I'm glad for you that amounts to a rejection. Remember if you are not for Jesus, you are against Jesus. Therefore if you remain neutral about Jesus, you have rejected Jesus. Jesus said at Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Don't be lukewarm neutral about Jesus like Pilate where Jesus will reject you. Jesus said at Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 

     Don't be like Pilate and make no decision about Jesus to avoid offending people because you love the temporary fame and flattery of this fading world. Instead be like Joshua who chose to serve the Lord looking forward to eternal rewards of peace and joy in heaven. Like Joshua, Brother Bob says Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 

     Be like Brother Bob who did not remain neutral about Jesus but chose Jesus and left millions of dollars to witness Jesus everywhere on this earth and save lost sinners. When you choose Jesus instead of the fading pleasures of this world that only last for a season rejoice and say Mark 10:29: And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. 



The Four Responses To An Offer Of Salvation And Peace With Jesus
3) Betraying Jesus Because Of The Love Of Money

     The third response to an offer of salvation and peace with Jesus is betraying Jesus because of the love of money. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus because he loved 30 pieces of silver more than the Lord Jesus. Matthew 26:14 says Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver Him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver; And from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him. 

     Don't be like Judas and sell Jesus for a paycheck. Don't choose the fame and glamour of this fading world instead of eternal joy with Jesus. Remember earthly fame is a like a snowflake on a river. A moment seen then gone forever. The bible tells us that we can either serve Jesus or serve money. You can't serve both Jesus and money. Luke 16:13 says No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will choose to serve Jesus instead of serving money like Judas. 

     Money is needed to buy food and clothes and is not bad. It's the love of money that's bad. 1 Timothy 6:10 says For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Don't let the love of money create sorrow in your life. Instead choose to serve Jesus, rejoicing while you bless the poor fatherless orphans and widows in this world. When you've blessed and done it unto the least of them, you've done it unto Jesus. Jesus said at Matthew 25:40 Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 

     Remember James 1:27 says Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Don't be stingy. Give to the storehouse and build treasure in heaven that lasts forever by giving to the poor stated by our Lord Jesus at Mark 10:21. Rejoice and say Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Let's all choose to obey Paul's wise words at Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 


The Four Responses to An Offer Of Salvation And Peace With Jesus
4) Believing Jesus While You Accept Salvation And Eternal Life

     The fourth and best response to an offer of salvation and peace with Jesus is believing that Jesus is God who died on the cross, was buried, and rose again while you repent and get saved. The Roman centurion who watched Jesus die on the cross believed Jesus and got saved. Matthew 27:54 says Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 

     Like this centurion, daily look at the cross of Jesus to get saved from all your troubles on this earth. Instead of alcohol, drugs, and fornication to solve your problems, by faith place daily all your troubles on the cross of Jesus (the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever according to Hebrews 13:8) and your problems will disappear. Say daily I am crucified with Jesus Christ and by faith with your heart see your problems daily destroyed on the cross with Jesus. 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. 

     Praise Jesus daily for dying on the cross for us all and giving us a place to daily place our troubles. Right now thank our Lord Jesus for taking away your filthy sins and giving you His perfect righteousness. Rejoice and say 2 Corinthians 5:21 For He (the Father) hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in 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.

The Many Ways With Jesus

 

The Many Ways With Jesus
Remember Jesus Is The Only Way To Heaven

     Thomas asked Jesus the following question at John 14:5. Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus replied at John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus did not say I can show you the way or that there is another way. Jesus told Thomas I am the way. In other words Jesus is the only way to solve all your troubles and get to heaven. 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.

Not The Blood Of Jesus +Water
Not The Blood Of Jesus +Works
Not The Blood Of Jesus +Wafers
It's The Blood Of Jesus+ Nothing For Salvation
Trust Jesus And Go To Heaven; Trust Anything Else And Go To Hell

     Get saved 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. Salvation is as easy as ABC. A-Admit that you are a sinner. Repent and decide to stop sinning. B-Believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. C-Confess with your mouth that Jesus is God. 

I Had To Add This Gem
The poor have it; The rich don't need it
And it's greater than God
Nothing


The Many Ways Wth Jesus
1) Jesus Is The Way Out

     Jesus is the way out for sinners. We are all sinners that need Jesus to get us out of this troubled world and take us to heaven. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Paul told us that Jesus is the only way out for sinners at 1 Timothy 1:15 that says This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. John told us that Jesus is the only way out for sinners at 1 John 5:12 that says He that hath the Son (Jesus) hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

     In other words realize that you are a sinner needing salvation from only Jesus. Every dog has just enough fleas to remind him that he's still a dog. Admit that you are a sinner, decide to stop sinning, and trust Jesus for your salvation. Be encouraged and say Romans 5:6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 




The Many Ways With Jesus
2) Jesus Is The Way In

     Second Jesus is the way in to heaven. Jesus is the only door to get in to heaven. Jesus said at John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. In other words to get to heaven you must come in through the door Jesus. A Methodist must come in through the door Jesus. A  Presbyterian must come in through the door Jesus. A Baptist must come in through the door Jesus. A high society king must come in through the door Jesus. A beggar and a bum must come in through the door Jesus. A little guy must come in through the door Jesus. A big guy must come in through the door Jesus. Jesus is the only door for anyone to enter in to heaven.

     Note that there was only one door (representing Jesus who is the only way to safety in heaven) in Noah's ark to be saved from the flood. Jesus was the one door in Noah's ark to be saved from the flood. Everyone had to enter Noah's ark through one door named Jesus to be saved. The snail had to crawl on the ground through the door to enter the ark. The eagle had to fly down to the door to enter the ark. And all sinners on this earth have to go through the door (Jesus) by faith to receive God's great invitation and gift of salvation. 

     The ground is level at the foot of the cross. All men are sinners and equal at the foot of the cross. With Jesus there are no big I's and little you's. Good people and wicked people go through the same door Jesus to get saved. Rich people, poor people, young people, and old people go through the same door Jesus to get saved. 

     Genesis 6:16 describes Noah's ark saying A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. Note that there was only one window above at the top of Noah's ark to only look up to heaven and not look around at this troubled world. The outlooks bad, the downlooks worse, but the uplook is looking pretty good. And if you have the right uplook, you'll have the right outlook and win souls to Jesus everywhere. Keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people and this troubled world. Luke 21:28 says And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 


     A lousy boring preacher took an interpreter with him to China to hold revivals and save Chinese sinners. After preaching a lousy boring sermon, thousands of Chinese sinners came to the altar and got saved. A bystander asked the interpreter, "How can so many people get saved when the preaching is so lousy and boring?" The interpreter replied, "Me not tell them what the preacher said; Me tell them about Jesus." Jesus works in China. Jesus works in Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, and everywhere on this earth. Jesus is the door and the only way in to heaven. 



The Many Ways With Jesus
3) Jesus Is The Way Through

Third Jesus Is The Way Through Any Obstacle Or Mountain 
If you face a mountain, first try to climb over it
If you can't climb over it, go around it
If you can't go around it, dig a tunnel through it
And if you can't dig a tunnel through it 
Ask Jesus to remove the mountain by faith

     Remember Jesus is the way through any mountain or obstacle. Jesus said at Mark 11:22 Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Jesus also said at Matthew 17:20 If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Jesus Is The Way Through Any Wilderness
And sing the words below for My Lord Knows The Way Through The Wilderness

My Lord knows the way through the wilderness; All I have to do is follow
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness; All I have to do is follow

Strength for today is mine all the way; And all that I need for tomorrow
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness; All I have to do is follow



Follow Jesus Who Is Your Way Through Any Trouble 

     Follow Jesus who is your way through any trouble. Paul told us in the KJV bible at Ephesians 5:1 Be ye followers of God (Jesus), as dear children. Note that the corrupt RSV bible falsely says at Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. This is incorrect. The devil is an imitator of God. Saved christians are followers of the Great Shepherd (Our Lord Jesus). I'm not imitating Jesus. I'm following Jesus who is my Great Shepherd. Jesus said at John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

And sing the words below for Stepping On The Clouds

One of these days, I'm going to leave
One of these days, I'm going home
I'm going to take my final journey
I'm going to rest neath Heaven's blue dome

Stepping on the clouds we'll see Jesus
Rise to meet Him in the air
Stepping on the clouds, He will greet us
Oh the joy together we will share

I'm going to leave this world behind me
Going where the devil can not find me
I'm going higher, higher, higher, higher
Stepping on the clouds

Going past the moon, the stars and the planets
I'm going to walk, on the milky white way
When Jesus gives the signal, I'm going to leave for heaven to stay

And sing the words below for the blessed hymn I Am Resolved
Written by Palmer Hartsough 1896

I am resolved no longer to linger charmed by the world's delight
Things that are higher, Things that are nobler, these have allured my sight

I will hasten to Him; Hasten so glad and free
Jesus greatest highest; I will come to thee

I am resolved to go to the Saviour leaving my sin and strife
He is the true one; He is the just one; He has the words of life

I am resolved to follow the Saviour faithful and true each day
Heed what He saith; Do what He willeth; He is the living way

I am resolved to enter the kingdom leaving the paths of sin
Friends may oppose me; Foes may beset me; Still will I enter in

I am resolved and who will go with me; Come friends without delay
Taught by the bible; Led by the Spirit; We'll walk the heavenly way



The Many Ways With Jesus
4) Jesus Is The Way Up

     Finally Jesus is the way up. Keep looking up for Jesus and soon Jesus will appear in the air. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 says For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel (Michael), and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

     Psalm 121 tells us that the Lord Jesus is the way up for help to go to heaven. Psalm 121:1 says 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. Look up to Jesus who is our way up out of this troubled earth to heaven. Psalm 75:6 says For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south (promotion comes from the way up who is Jesus in the north). But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another. Colossians 3:2 says Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 

     Right now praise Jesus who is the way up located in Mount Zion on the sides of the north up above us all. Psalm 48:1 says Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, strength, and peace. Feel free to email Brother Bob at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071.

How To Stop Worrying

 


How To Stop Worrying
1) Remember The Word Of God And Jesus' Promises That Remove Worrying

     The first way to stop worrying is to remember the Word of God and Jesus' promises that remove worrying. Jesus said at John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. (Remember God's retirement benefits with Jesus and you won't worry). In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

     Receive the peace promised by Jesus to stop worrying. Jesus promised us at John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 says Now The Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. Rejoice and stop worrying because Jesus' peace passes all understanding according to Philippians 4:7 that says And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 


George Muller
A Man That Listened To God And Had All His Prayers Answered

     Let's learn from history's man of faith George Muller who listened to God and had all his prayers answered. George Muller started an orphanage in Bristol, England during the 1800s after 26 orphan children were left abandoned at his doorstep. Eventually by faith George Muller took care of 10000 orphan children at his blessed orphanage (2100 orphans every year) for 40 years. For 40 years, none of the orphans ever lacked food, clothing, shelter, or education. And 163 of the 10000 orphans became missionaries that traveled to foreign lands to preach the gospel and win souls.

     During George Muller's life, George read and memorized the KJV bible from cover to cover 200 times (100 times on his knees). George listened to God daily by reading and memorizing the bible, and therefore God listened to George and answered and granted over 50000 prayer requests. George made a catalog of all his 50000 prayers and told no one during his life about these noted prayers. 

     After George Muller died, his notebook was found with 50000 specific prayer requests and the day God answered each of the 50000 prayer requests. George Muller said he couldn't remember any of his prayers that God did not answer. Because George Muller listened to God, the Lord Jesus allowed George to print 111 million gospel tracts, and God gave George Muller over 5 million dollars for his orphanages. 

     George Muller never asked for money from individuals. Instead he prayed specifically and waited for God to move people to give. For example he once received an exact amount of money from a friend who felt led by God to give the exact amount of money that George Muller was praying about. On a morning when there was no money for breakfast, George Muller went for a walk in the woods to pray. A friend met him on a road he hadn't planned to take and handed him the exact amount of money needed for the breakfast meal just in time to feed the children in the orphanage.

     When a boiler broke during the freezing winter of December 1857, Muller prayed for two things: that the repairmen would be willing to work through the night and that the weather would stay mild. Both were answered when the workers volunteered to stay late, and a warm south wind blew until the heat was restored. 

     While George Muller was traveling to Quebec by ship, a dense fog halted the vessel. George Muller told the captain that he had an engagement he could not break and asked to pray. After a simple prayer, George Muller told the captain not to pray because the captain didn't believe God would do it. When they stepped back on the deck, the fog had completely lifted, allowing the ship to arrive on time. 

     About 30000 of George Muller's recorded prayer requests were granted the same day and hour that they were prayed. Some of his prayer requests were answered years later. But eventually all of George Muller's prayer requests were granted. George Muller said "There was a day that I utterly died to George Muller and his opinions, preferences, tastes, and will. Died to the world, its approval or censure, and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God." 

     George Muller prayed daily for the conversion of five friends. One became a christian after five years, two others after ten years, and the fourth after 25 years. He prayed for the fifth friend for 63 years, and the man finally converted and became a christian shortly after George Muller's funeral.

     George Muller trusted daily that the Lord Jesus would provide food for thousands of orphans that he cared for. One morning there was no food or milk for 300 children. George Muller had the children sit at the tables with empty plates and thanked God for the meal. Shortly thereafter, a baker knocked on the door, saying God had woken him up at 2:00 a.m. in the morning to bake bread for the orphanage. Minutes later, a milkman's cart broke down directly in front of the orphanage. The milkman gave all his milk to the children so he could repair his cart.

     The opposite of worry is faith. George Muller said that the beginning of worry is the end of faith and that the beginning of faith is the end of worry. In other words faith in the Lord Jesus stops worrying and gives peace to overcome the troubles of this world. Romans 5:1 promises Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Every day see your problems and fears disappear on the cross of Jesus by faith saying I am crucified with Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 5:7 says Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Right now defeat worry, get saved by faith and receive peace from Jesus to overcome any problem 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. 

A Blessed Poem Telling Us To Stop Worrying

Don't worry about what you eat; Don't worry about shoes on your feet
Don't worry about a place to stay; Let Jesus take your troubles away

Don't worry in the book of Matthew Chapter Six; Jesus preached our worries He'll fix
He said I care for the birds and the flowers too and I'll take care of you

Read Jane's Response Below To The Question What Do You Worry About?
Jane said I don't have a house; I don't have to worry about that
I don't have a car; I don't have to worry about that
I don't have any furniture; I don't have to worry about that
If I die I'll go home to be with Jesus so I don't have to worry about that
Therefore, I ain't got nothing to worry about
Remember there's nothing to worry about until there's something to worry about

     Stuff in this world makes people worry. Instead follow Paul's advice at 1 Timothy 6:6 and rejoice with the peace of Jesus. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 



The Best Way To Stop Worrying Is To Start Praying

     The cure for worrying is to start praying. In other words to defeat worry, don't react to your problems without prayer. Instead pray and ask Jesus how to solve all your problems. Philippians 4:6 says Be careful for nothing (don't worry); but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Jesus either answers Yes with Peace to your requests or No with No Peace to your requests. 

According To Philippians 4:6
Bother God About Everything
Or
Everything Will Bother You
Let Go And Let God; Let God Handle All Your Problems




Worry Is Like A Rocking Chair
It Gives You Something To Do But It Doesn't Get You Anywhere

Instead Stop Worrying About What Can Go Wrong
And Get Excited About What Can Go Right

     1 Peter 5:7 says Casting all your care upon Him (Jesus); for He careth for you. In other words don't hold onto your problems and worry handing each one slowly to Jesus. Instead quickly throw and cast by faith all your worries and problems as far as you can to the cross of Jesus and Jesus will catch them and fix them. And according to Psalm 34:8 you will taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.


     Remember we are in this world with Jesus but we are not of this world. According to Hebrews 11:13 with Jesus we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth traveling to our heavenly home with Jesus. Jesus told us 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. In other words you cannot keep birds from flying over your head (with the troubles of this world) but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair (where the blood of Jesus will overcome the devil and the worries of this world).

Don't Worry; Be Like The Birds; Birds Have Bills But They Keep On Singing
If Jesus Takes Care Of The Sparrows; Jesus Will Take Care Of You
Matthew 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows





How To Stop Worrying
2) Don't Worry About The Future Or Tomorrow
Instead Live For Today According To The Will Of God

     Most people worry about the future and tomorrow. To stop worrying take one day at a time rejoicing by faith that Jesus promised to fix all your problems and supply all your needs. James 4:13 says Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

Don't Ruin Today By Worrying About Tomorrow

     The bible tells us not to worry about the future and tomorrow. Proverbs 27:1 says Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Matthew 6:34 says Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Instead place Jesus first in your life witnessing daily about Jesus, going to church, and studying God's Word, and Jesus will fix all your problems and remove all worries. Matthew 6:33 says But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.




Don't Worry About The Future
Instead Rejoice About The Future
Where We Will Rejoice In Peace With Jesus In The Kingdom Forever

     Don't worry about the future. Rejoice because the future is looking pretty good for christians with Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. And 2 Peter 1:4 says Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

     Don't worry about the future. Rejoice about the future because today and billions of years from now saved saints will always be running and leaping for joy down the kingdom of God's street of gold that is transparent glass pictured above worshipping the Lord Jesus where there will be no night, no death, no sorrow, no crying, no pain, and no devil. There will always be joy, peace, and happiness forever. Revelation 21:4 says And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 

     Get your eyes off your troubles and worries in this world. By faith obey Colossians 3:2 and Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Remember 2 Corinthians 4:18 says 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. And according to 1 Peter 1:8 when you rejoice in the unseen eternal promises of heaven, note the following promise. Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. 


Stop Worrying And Sing Saved By Grace By Fanny Crosby

     Fanny Crosby wrote the hymn Saved By Grace to help people stop worrying. Fanny Crosby was a blessed christian who was blind and wrote 9000 hymns (Blessed Assurance, To God Be The Glory, and Near The Cross are some of Fanny's blessed hymns). Fanny would visit Jerry McCauley's mission in New York City and comfort homeless people by singing her blessed hymns. While attending a DL Moody revival meeting, when they asked Fanny Crosby why she wrote Saved By Grace, Fanny gave the following testimony. Fanny said, "One hymn I wrote called Saved By Grace has never been published; I call it my souls poem. Sometimes when I'm troubled to remove worry, I repeat it to myself for it brings comfort to my soul." I pray in Jesus name that anyone who sings the blessed words below of Saved By Grace will overcome all their worries and troubles in this world. Jesus bless you all.

Some day the silver cord will break; And I no more as now shall sing
But Oh the joy when I shall wake; Within the palace of the King

And I shall see Him face to face; And tell the story saved by grace
And I shall see Him face to face; And tell the story saved by grace

Some day my earthly house will fall; I cannot tell how soon twill be
But this I know my All in All; Has now a place in heaven for me

Some day when fades the golden sun; Beneath the rosy tinted west
My blessed Lord will say well done; And I shall enter into rest

Some day till then I watch and wait; My lamp all trimmed and burning bright
That when my Saviour opes the gate; My soul to Him may take its flight

     I pray this bible study in Jesus name removes worry from anyone who reads it. 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.

All About Heaven

 


It's Wrong To Say You're So Heavenly Minded
That You're No Earthly Good

We Should Say If You're So Heavenly Minded
You'll Be Earthly Good

Unfortunately Most People Are So Worldly Minded
That They Are No Heavenly Good

     This message is all about heaven. Whenever you hear anyone say you're so heavenly minded that you're no earthly good, reply I'm going to be more heavenly minded so I can be earthly good. I don't want to be so worldly minded where I am no heavenly good. A preacher once told Brother Bob that he talks too much about Jesus. I replied Correction I need to talk more about Jesus and thanks for the compliment while I leaped for joy at the nearest Walmart restroom. 

     The bible tells us to be heavenly minded (not worldly minded) to become better people for our Lord Jesus. Colossians 3:2 says Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

     The bible tells us that saints are earnestly desiring to be in heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:2 says For in this (body) we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. In fact all creation is earnestly desiring to enter heaven. Romans 8:22 says For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Be like Paul and desire heavenly joy who said at Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.



By Faith Rejoice About The Third Heaven That Can Not Be Seen

     The bible tells us that there are three heavens pictured above. The first heaven we can see by day where the birds fly in the sky. The second heaven we can see by night with the stars and planets in the milky way galaxy. But you need faith to see the third heaven where all the saved saints live eternally in peace with Jesus. Ephesians 2:6 promises us by faith that after salvation we currently are sitting together with the saints in heavenly places. The blessed scripture says And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Right now choose to get saved and escape the troubles of this world with the promise of eternal peace in heaven. 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. 

     The picture above of a little boy flying a kite explains how to have faith that a third heaven exists. One day a little boy was flying a kite that disappeared above the clouds. His friend said "I don't see a kite. How do you know that the kite is still up there?" The little boy replied "Every now and then I feel a little tug and I know it's up there." Like this little boy, even though you can't see the third heaven, every now and then you'll feel a little tug by faith and know it's up there somewhere. 


And sing the lyrics below for In The Sweet By And By

To help you see the third heaven by faith
Remember There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it afar

There's a land that is fairer than day; And by faith we can see it afar
For the Father waits over the way; To prepare us a dwelling place there

In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore

We shall sing on that beautiful shore; The melodious songs of the blest
And our spirits shall sorrow no more; Not a sigh for the blessing of rest

To our bountiful Father above; We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love; And the blessings that hallow our days. 



Instead of shouting and rejoicing when Johnny Olson 
Says Come On Down On The Price Is Right

Shout And Rejoice Always Because Soon 
Jesus is Going To Tell All Saved Saints Come Up Hither

     People on the game show the Price Is Right shout and go crazy when Johnny Olson says Come On Down. But saints should always shout and rejoice because soon Jesus is going to call all saints by name saying Come Up Hither. I'm not going down friend. I'm shouting, rejoicing, and leaping for joy because I'm going up soon to be with Jesus in peace forever. 

     The outlooks bad, the downlooks worse, but the uplook is looking pretty good. And if you have the right uplook, you'll have the right outlook and win lost souls to the Lord Jesus. Remember Luke 21:28 says And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 

I'm not looking for the undertaker, I'm looking for the uppertaker (Jesus Christ)
I'm not looking for a hole in the ground, I'm looking for a hole in the sky
I'm not looking for the clods, I'm looking for the clouds
I'm not looking for a sign, I'm listening for a sound

     Some people get offended when saints shout for Jesus. These people say at our church we don't shout because we believe in being dignified. Tell these people correction you believe in being petrified. But these same people who get offended when you shout for Jesus will go to a ballgame and scream for hours. People will scream like Comanche indians for five hours at a football game but they will sit quietly like wooden indians for one hour during the church service. 

     I tell people who shout praises to Jesus to shout louder. The bible tells us to shout and make a loud noise of praise for Jesus. Psalm 98:4 says Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. In fact the bible says that we should for ever shout for joy about Jesus. 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. Obey Psalm 92:1 and do a good thing today by thanking Jesus. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. 



Saints Should Rejoice About Heaven
Because After Salvation Saints Are Citizens Of Heaven
We Are Just Strangers And Pilgrims On This Earth
Currently In Heaven With Our Fellowcitizen Saints

     Saints should rejoice and talk about heaven. This world is not our home. Saved saints are just strangers and pilgrims passing through this fading world while they currently are with the Lord Jesus in peaceful heaven. Hebrews 11:13 says that saints in the past all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 

     Ephesians 2:19 says Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God. Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation (note that the Greek definition for conversation is citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

     Saved saints' spirits and souls currently are citizens in heaven while their bodies are on earth. Therefore saved saints' bodies, souls, and spirits are looking simultaneously from earth and heaven for the soon return of our Lord Jesus during the rapture. My good friend Bill Grady said "Our looking for Jesus is a bilocation phenomenon of being in two places simultaneously; while we look for Jesus down here, we also look for Jesus up there." For our citizenship is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:6 says that saved saints are currently raised up and sitting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Rejoice And Sing The Words Below For This World Is Not My Home

This world is not my home; I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue

The angels beckon me from heavens open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heavens not my home then Lord what will I do

They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know
My Saviour pardoned me and now I onward go

I know He'll take me through though I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

I have a loving mother just up in Gloryland
And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand

The angels beckon me from heavens open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally
The saints on every hand are shouting victory

Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore


Rejoice About The Praise Heard In Heaven Recorded At Revelation 19:1-6

     Rejoice about the praise heard in heaven recorded at Revelation 19:1-6. Revelation 1:3 promises a blessing of happiness to all that read and hear the praise recorded at Revelation 19:1-6. Soon all the saints of heaven will join in this glorious praise to Jesus in heaven. The glorious praise reads And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are His judgments: for He hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 

     Revelation 19:4 says And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne saying, Amen; Alleluia. And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 

     When we get to heaven how glorious it will be to hear millions upon millions of saints in the heavenly choir loudly praising our Lord Jesus with innumerable angels. Hebrews 12:22 describes heaven saying But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. 

     And according to John 14:2 we should be rejoicing about the promised mansions according to the KJV bible (not dinky rooms stated by the false translated bibles) that we will receive in heaven. Jesus told us at John 14:2 In my Fathers house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Friend if you are saved, you should rejoice about your mansion that you will receive soon on Glory Boulevard in heaven. We're going to move from poor houses on this earth to mansions in the sky that are going to be greater and more extravagant than the Taj Mahal or the White House. 

     After anyone leaves this earth where our lives are just a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away, they'll spend eternity forever in either heaven or hell. Whatever anyone does with Jesus on this earth determines where they will spend eternity. Trust Jesus and go to heaven. Deny Jesus and go to hell. There is no middle ground purgatory where prayers and money can get someone out of purgatory to enter heaven. Purgatory is a false man made place created for self righteous people trying to pay and pray their loved ones into heaven. You wouldn't want to be the last person in purgatory with no one to pay or pray you out. 

     Remember faith only in the blood of Jesus (the price paid by Jesus at the cross for our sins) can redeem us and free us from our sins. There is no middle ground with Jesus. No choice about Jesus amounts to a rejection of Jesus. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus also said at Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Therefore it's either heaven or hell, turn or burn, up or down, in or out. You make the choice and I pray in Jesus name that you choose heaven with Jesus and eternal life with peace. 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.


The Most Important Reason Saved Saints Want To Go To Heaven Is
To See Jesus

     The most important reason saved saints want to go to heaven is to see Jesus. Soon all the saints will rejoice like John and say John 1:29 Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Truly the best thing about heaven is seeing Jesus. Jesus who is the Way, Truth, Life, and Light will be our Tree of Life and Light in heaven that is seven times brighter than the sun with no dark night forever. 

     Fanny Crosby wrote a hymn titled My Savior First Of All telling us that Jesus should be the most important person that we want to see in heaven. Fanny Crosby was a great woman of God who was blind and wrote 9000 blessed hymns. Fanny Crosby wrote the blessed hymns Blessed Assurance and To God Be The Glory. Fanny who lived 95 years from 1820-1915 would help Jerry McCauley at a mission in New York City for homeless people and daily sung her hymns to everyone at the mission. 

     It will be a blessing when we meet the following people in heaven: Moses, David, Solomon, Daniel, Hosea, Obadiah, Matthew, Bartholomew, Peter, Paul, John Bunyan, George Whitfield, Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, William Carey, Adoniram Judson, Edward Kimball, CT Studd, and George Muller. But according to Fanny's song titled My Savior First Of All, Jesus is the best person to meet in heaven. Fanny Crosby who was blind said that when she opens her healed eyes in heaven with Jesus, Jesus is the first person that she wants to see while she rejoices forever. 

After Fanny Crosby Was Asked How She Would Recognize Jesus In Heaven
Fanny Wrote The Words Below For The Blessed Hymn My Savior First Of All
And Rejoice While You Sing The Blessed Words Below

When my life work is ended and I cross the swelling tide
When the bright and glorious morning I shall see

I shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side
And His smile will be the first to welcome me

I shall know Him, I shall know Him
And redeemed by His side I shall stand
I shall know Him, I shall know Him
By the print of the nails in His hand

Oh the soul thrilling rapture when I see His blessed face
And the luster of His kindly beaming eye

How my heart will praise Him for the mercy love and grace
That prepared for me a mansion in the sky

Oh the dear ones in glory how they beckon me to come
And our parting at the river I recall

To the sweet vales of Eden they will sing my welcome home
But I long to meet my Savior first of all

Through the gates to the city in a robe of spotless white
He will lead me where no tears will ever fall

In the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight
But I long to meet my Savior first of all

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