Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

     Let's all be like the little children pictured above and keep looking to Jesus. Here's some blessed scriptures that tell us to fix our eyes on Jesus Christ crucified. Psalm 25:15 says Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for He shall pluck my feet out of the net. Psalm 34:5 says They looked unto Him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 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. 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.

     While you look to the Lord Jesus, Jesus watches over you and protects you from trouble. People might sleep and forget about Jesus but Jesus never sleeps and is a good shepherd that watches over you and protects you from trouble. Psalm 121:4 says Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:7 says The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. 2 Timothy 4:18 says And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

     Jesus loves us and never forgets about us like a mother remembering her little child but unfortunately some christians forget to serve Jesus. Isaiah 49:15 says Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Jeremiah 2:32 says Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

     Brother Bob often asks people I meet in the supermarket or on a crowded bus, when was the last time you thought about the Word of God or took time to talk to Jesus. Unfortunately some people have answered weeks, months, and sometimes years ago. I encourage all who read this bible study to remember Psalm 1 and delight yourself daily in the Word of God and meditate on the Word of God day and night. 

     Joshua 1:8 says This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. The word success only appears once in the bible at Joshua 1:8. Therefore to have good success meditate day and night on the Word of God. Ransack the 1611 KJV bible daily.

     Rejoice about the Word of God like you discovered great treasure. Psalm 119:162 says I rejoice at thy Word, as one that findeth great spoil. Matthew 13:45 says Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Brother Bob says that the pearl of great price is Jesus and when we bless poor widows and orphans we bless Jesus and receive the pearl of great price.

     When saved saints see the kingdom of God, they will see twelve gates with twelve pearls. Revelation 21:21 says And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. Gate means door and Jesus is the door or gate to enter the kingdom of God. An oyster creates a pearl when some dirt or sand gets into his shell. This irritates the oyster where the oyster transforms the dirt or sand into a pearl. The oyster secretes layers of nacre (called mother of pearl) around the dirt to create a protective barrier, eventually forming a pearl. Jesus suffered and was irritated at the cross of Calvary because of all our dirty filthy sins and removed our sins forever by His precious blood creating a beautiful pearl in all of the twelve gates of the kingdom of God.

     Notice the above picture of the soldiers that came to take Jesus to the cross who fell backwards when Jesus willingly offered himself to be sacrificed for all our sins on the cross of Calvary. No man could kill or harm Jesus because Jesus is God. Jesus loved us all so much that Jesus himself rejoiced to die for us all on the cross of Calvary to deliver us from sin and give us eternal life. Philippians 2:8 says And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Hebrews 12:2 says Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

     When Jesus was on the earth, Jesus put the undertakers out of business because no one died in the presence of Jesus. Jesus raised the widow of Nain's son from his bier (coffin). Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead after Lazarus was in a tomb for four days. Jesus raised Jairus' daughter with just two words Talitha cumi (Damsel, I say unto thee, arise). With Jesus there is no medicare, hospital bills, or funeral expenses. 

     No man could kill or harm Jesus because Jesus is God. The Pharisees tried to throw Jesus off a cliff or brow but Jesus walked right through the midst of the Pharisees unharmed. The Pharisees tried to kill Jesus on the cross by poisoning Jesus with vinegar and gall, but Jesus only tasted but did not drink the poison. 

     It's remarkable that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Psalm 69:21 that says They gave me also gall (a poisonous hemlock plant) for my meat; and in my thirst they gave vinegar to drink. Matthew 27:34 says They gave Him (Jesus) vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, He would not drink. In other words no man could kill Jesus. Jesus said at John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

     No man could kill or harm Jesus because Jesus is God. Jesus had already given up the ghost before the Roman soldiers killed Him on the cross of Calvary by breaking His legs. Therefore the Roman soldiers did not break Jesus' legs or any of Jesus' bones. If the Roman soldiers broke Jesus' legs, the Roman soldiers would have killed Jesus. Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Psalm 34:20: He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. It's amazing that not one bone of Jesus was broken after he was beaten, struck on the face, and suffered with a crown of thorns on His head. Saint reading this Jesus loved you so much and gave His own life so you could live 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.

     The scripture that refers to the picture above of the soldiers and Jesus is at John 18:6 and says As soon then as He (Jesus) had said unto them, I am He, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Earlier when the Roman soldiers went to arrest Jesus, the Pharisees got frustrated because the soldiers got saved and could not arrest Jesus. John 7:43 says So there was division among the people because of Him. And some of them would have taken Him; but no man laid hands on Him. Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought Him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? It's amazing that some of the Roman soldiers and officers who tried to arrest and crucify Jesus got saved. 

     An ancient puritan writer wrote that the soldiers or officers that went to apprehend Jesus were apprehended by Jesus. Like these Roman soldiers and officers, when you search for Jesus, you will get saved and apprehended by Jesus. Philippians 3:12 says Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 

     While Jesus was dying on the cross of Calvary, a Roman soldier pierced his side. John 19:34 says But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. The reason that blood and water came out of Jesus' side is because the blood of Jesus washes away the sins of saved saints. Revelation 1:5 says And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. 

     One of Brother Bob's favorite songs is There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's veins; and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. Zechariah 13:1 speaks about the fountain of Jesus' blood that removes sins. In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.  Brother Bob believes that the soldier that pierced Jesus' side got saved and washed by the actual blood of Jesus because Mark 15:39 says And when the centurion, which stood over against Him, saw that He so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

And sing the words below for the hymn There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood

There is a fountain filled with blood; Drawn from Immanuels' veins

And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains

The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day

And there may I though vile as he wash all my sins away

Dear dying Lamb thy precious blood shall never lose its power

Till all the ransomed ones of God be saved to sin no more

Eer since by faith I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply

Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die

When this poor lisping stammering tongue lies silent in the grave

Then in a nobler sweeter song I'll sing thy power to save

     Finally notice the picture above of money with wings. Proverbs 23:5 says Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. A puritan writer wrote in 1644 "Rich men have passed over this life, as men do pass over sleep, imagining themselves to have golden mountains and rocks of diamonds, but when they awake at the day of death, they find themselves to have nothing." 

     Brother Bob encourages all who read this bible study to look to Jesus and the Word of God that lasts forever and not at money that flies away and disappears. Jesus said at Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Psalm 119:89 says For ever, O Lord, thy Word is settled in heaven.

     Take heed to the warning of Psalm 76:5 and do not trust and love money more than Jesus. Psalm 76:5 says The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. In Hebrew this means that later in life, the stouthearted rich men found nothing in their hands. Money might disappear, but thank you Lord Jesus, the Word of God remains forever and the peace and joy with Jesus is everlasting. 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 while you read some scriptures that prove that Jesus will last forever and never change. Malachi 3:6 says For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Revelation 1:4 says John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne. 

     Brother Bob asks everyone the following question. Did you do a good thing today? Psalm 92:1 tells us the answer to this question. 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. Right now do a good thing and thank the Lord Jesus for saving you while you praise His holy name. 

     Finally Brother Bob gives you all a shortcut to put on the armour of God. Ephesians 6:11 says Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Romans 13:14 says But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. In other words when you daily say I am crucified with Jesus Christ and look with your heart by faith at the cross of Calvary, you have put on the whole armour of God that is Jesus (who is the armour of light). Romans 13:12 says The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light (Jesus). And Jesus said at John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 

Enjoy two of Brother Bob's favorite quotes noted below

1) A praying man will quit sinning and a sinning man will quit praying

2) Persecuted piety is better than prospering profaneness

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. 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. Till we all meet again soon, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Jesus Jesus Jesus

     Notice the picture above of a precious little girl drinking a cup of cold water to relieve her thirst. Proverbs 25:25 says As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. The good news that is so refreshing to our souls as a cup of cold water to a thirsty soul is the gospel message that Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary for you, was buried, and rose again. Romans 1:16 says For I am not ashamed of the gospel (good news) of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

     The word gospel is defined at 1 Corinthians 15:1 that says Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Therefore the gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice that the gospel also includes the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

     People have asked Brother Bob Why do you only stress Jesus Christ crucified and not also the resurrection? My answer is this: You can't put the cart before the horse. At the cross and not at the resurrection was where the blood of Jesus Christ was shed. And to defeat and overcome the devil we must preach Jesus Christ crucified because Revelation 12:11 says we overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb shed at the cross of Calvary and not at the resurrection. The cross of Calvary and the blood of Jesus is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever because Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 

     Note that if you preach Jesus Christ crucified you automatically will receive the power of the resurrection. Let me prove this to you by two bible verses. First Romans 6:5 says For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Philippians 3:10 says That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death. You see you automatically receive the power of the resurrection when you say I am crucified with Jesus Christ by faith and see the cross of Calvary with your heart being made conformable unto His death.

     Open your bibles to 1 Corinthians 1:18 and meditate on this verse that tells us the importance of looking daily to the cross of Calvary. This verse says For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it (the cross of Calvary) is the power of God. I encourage anyone reading this bible study to daily with their hearts by faith see Jesus Christ crucified to receive power. When anyone casts their worries, fears, and problems on the cross of Calvary by faith, they can say I am crucified with Jesus Christ and thank you Jesus for destroying my problems forever at the cross of Calvary. 

     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. Lord Jesus let all who read this forevermore remember Luke 9:23 that says And He said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

     The Apostle Paul told us to preach about Jesus Christ crucified. Galatians 1:8 says But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Paul is saying twice if we do not preach Jesus Christ crucified we are cursed. After Brother Bob studied this scripture, I vowed to Jesus that I would constantly remind everyone to daily focus on Jesus Christ crucified and daily thank Jesus for dying for them at the cross of Calvary. The Apostle Paul said at 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. Also Galatians 6:14 says But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the 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.

     Brother Bob celebrated when he found the picture above. I must state that it is one of the most accurate and phenomenal pictures of a bible scene that I've ever looked at. Whoever drew this cartoon picture was highly anointed. The picture above is of the harlot Rahab's house that was spared from destruction in Jericho because she placed a scarlet thread outside her window. Jesus showed me that since scarlet is red, the scarlet thread represented the blood of Jesus and the Lord told Joshua, when I see the blood of Jesus over Rahab's house, destruction must pass over Rahab's house.

     Rahab feared the Lord Jesus and housed Joshua's spies and protected them. Because of Rahab's kindness, the spies made an agreement that if she placed a scarlet thread outside her window, when their leader Joshua came to destroy Jericho and saw her scarlet thread, Rahab's household would be spared and live. Joshua 2:18 says Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee. 

     The story of Rahab's rescue from destruction is at Joshua 6:22 and says But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel. And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.

     The walls of Jericho were discovered and exist today. Hebrews 11:30 says By faith the walls of Jericho fell down (descended from a higher place to a lower place per Greek definition), after they were compassed about seven days. An archeologist named Kathleen Kenyon in the 1950s discovered these walls of Jericho that sunk into the ground. Yes the walls of Jericho remain and exist today, proving that the bible is true and accurate. The Jericho walls did not crumble but remained and just sank into the ground. Kathleen Kenyon also discovered Rahab's house on a wall that did not sink into the ground. Joshua 2:15 tells us that Rahab's house was upon the town wall but her house on that part of the wall did not sink and exists above ground to this day, proving that the bible is true and accurate. 

     Click this link http://www.christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a011.html and read about how the christian archeologist Kathleen Kenyon in the 1950s discovered the sunken walls of Jericho that remain and exist today in Jericho.

     Jesus showed Brother Bob that since Joshua means salvation, Jesus whose name also means salvation is coming to save the saints in the air during the rapture. Notice that trumpets were blown before Rahab was rescued to be saved with Joshua who was like Jesus. When saved saints hear the last trump of God that is God's voice, they will be saved like Rahab and caught up out of this troubled world to be with Jesus. 

     1 Thessalonians 4:16 says For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel (this is Michael who is the only archangel of the bible stated at Jude 9), 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.

     Jesus showed Brother Bob that one of the sweetest sounds a saint will ever hear will be when the last trump of God sounds and the saved saints are caught up to be with Jesus in a moment and in the twinkling of an eye when we all shall be changed from mortality to immortality. It's interesting to note that Rahab was a sinful harlot prostitute that represents the true church of God because we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God but thank you Jesus for your precious blood that you shed at the cross of Calvary that saves us from destruction.

     The next picture above is when the children of Israel placed the blood of the Lamb Jesus on their doors and were saved from the angel of death. It's a great blessing that we all can have a safe place to hide in Jesus from the troubles around us like the children of Israel above and Rahab who also trusted in the blood of Jesus. Jesus showed me that saved saints are like the children of Israel. We might hear great cries of trouble around us but if we stay by faith under the blood of Jesus, trouble and destruction must pass over us. I pray in Jesus name that everyone who will read this bible study past, present, and future will by faith daily be protected under the blood of Jesus while they remember Jesus Christ crucified.

     The story about the picture above is at Exodus 12:23 and says For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. 

     Exodus 12:29 describes the great cry the children of Israel heard outside their doors. The blood of Jesus will protect us all from any trouble around us. Exodus 12:29 says And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharoah that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharoah rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

     Now saints meditate on the following scriptures proving that the Lord Jesus is your safety place from the troubles of this world. Isaiah 26:20 says Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation (trouble) be overpast. In other words trouble must pass over you when God sees the blood of Jesus. Proverbs 18:10 says The name of the Lord (Jesus) is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

     Here's some more scriptures about how the Lord Jesus is your safety place from trouble. Psalm 27:5 says For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion (called the lair where the Lion of the Tribe of Judah who is Jesus lives): in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock.  Psalm 91:4 says He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Jesus said 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.

     Notice the picture above of a mom forgetting all her problems and rejoicing to see her beautiful baby. Like this mother, when the saved saints arrive at the glorious kingdom of God to be with Jesus forevermore, they will forget all the problems and persecutions they experienced in this world. John 16:21 says A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

     Here are two of Brother Bob's favorite verses in the Word of God that prove that the saints of Jesus will forget and not remember the persecutions and sufferings of this evil world when we see Jesus in the kingdom of God. Isaiah 65:16 says That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 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.

     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.     

Jesus Hears And Protects Us All

     Notice the picture above of Elijah sleeping under a juniper tree waiting to die and how an angel saved Elijah's life. Elijah was running from the witch Jezebel who was trying to kill him because Elijah had slain 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of the groves (sacred trees or poles set up near an altar of Baal). If you have ever been in a place where you felt that the Lord Jesus had abandoned you and no one cared, this bible study is for you. I claim in Jesus name all who forever read this bible study will realize that the Lord Jesus never leaves them and will always be present with his angels to care, comfort, and deliver them from any problem in this world.

     1 Kings 19:1 says And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the Gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. 

     1 Kings 19:5 says And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.

     Elijah was so bold when he slew all the prophets of Baal, but a witch named Jezebel caused Elijah to fear for his life. Remember sisters of God reading this bible study, let the husbands make decisions in your household. God made the husband head over the wife. But husbands love your wives as Jesus loved the church and be willing to die for your wives. I tell husbands before you make final decisions for your house, let your wives feel that they are part of your decisions, but ultimately the husband must make the final decision for his household. Jezebel made decisions for Ahab and caused trouble. Later on in Ahab's life, when Ahab could not possess a vineyard owned by Naboth, Jezebel decided to take charge of Ahab's house and had Naboth killed. Ahab suffered for allowing Jezebel to make decisions for his house and later on in life both Ahab and Jezebel were killed for the trouble they caused Naboth.

     Like Elijah, when you feel that no one cares about you and you don't want to go on, I claim in Jesus name that angels will be sent to encourage and give you hope, blessings, and life. Psalm 91:11 says For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. And note that the Lord Jesus will send innumerable angels and not just one angel to preserve and bless you.

     I must admit that sometimes Brother Bob has felt like Jeremiah and said I won't preach anymore because of the mockings and persecutions I've endured for the name of Jesus. But like Jeremiah, Brother Bob says it's like a fire shut up in my bones and I can't stay myself. I know people will persecute me for Jesus and I'll shout even louder for Jesus amidst all the persecutions. Jeremiah 20:9 says Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

     Note that the Lord Jesus did the impossible for Elijah and made a cake appear out of nowhere prepared by an angel from heaven. Brother Bob calls the cake superman cake because when Elijah ate this superman cake, the cake had special vitamins in it and strengthened Elijah for forty days and forty nights. It's interesting to note that Elijah took one bite at first of the cake and then wanted to die. But the Lord Jesus loved Elijah so much that the angel was told to wake up Elijah a second time and encourage him to eat the cake and stay alive. The Lord Jesus loves us so much and like Elijah will keep encouraging christians by angels to live on no matter how many times they want to quit living this life.

     The Lord Jesus hears us when we pray and has not deserted us. 1 John 5:14 says And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. Ephesians 3:20 says Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. 2 Timothy 2:11 says It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us: If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself. Note the last verse. Even when we doubt and believe not, the Lord Jesus abideth faithful and will bless us anyway. Isaiah 65:24 says And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

     Notice the picture above of a little child looking at herself in a mirror. Like this child, look to yourselves and not to others while you better yourself. Don't be like Jeroboam who had has finger shrivel up when he pointed with his finger and found fault with the man of God. 1 Kings 13:4 says And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand form the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he set forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him. 

     1 Kings 13:6 says And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. Don't be like Jeroboam. Instead point your finger back at yourself and say Lord Jesus make me a better person. Every day look by faith with your heart to Jesus Christ crucified and tell the devil I am crucified with Jesus Christ and the blood of Jesus has removed all my sins and overcome the devil. 

     Be like the little child in the picture above looking at herself in a mirror. We should all look at ourselves daily and ask the Lord Jesus to take away our sins. 2 Corinthians 13:5 says Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2 John 8 says Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. If you look to yourself and remember Jesus Christ crucified daily with your hearts, you will get the reward who is Jesus. Jesus said at Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

      Look to yourself and try to better yourself instead of criticizing and judging people around you. Matthew 7:3 says And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

     Be like the little child pictured above and look to the Lord Jesus who lives in our hearts daily. Don't look to other people and compare yourself to other people. 2 Corinthians 10:12 says For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. 

When You Look At Yourself, See The Lord Jesus And 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

     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 Names Of Jesus Who Is God

     Today's bible study is very special and will list the many names of Jesus who is God. When I state all these names meditate on these names and 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 Jesus on a high hill refers to His name El Elyon that means The Most High God. The scripture references for El Elyon are Genesis 14:20 that says And blessed be the Most High God (El Elyon), which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Also Psalm 9:2 says I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High. Ephesians 1:20 says Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

     The above picture also refers to the name of Jesus who is El Shaddai that means Lord God Almighty who nourishes, satisfies, and supplies. The scripture reference for El Shaddai is Genesis 17:1 that says And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God, walk before me, and be thou perfect.

     OK, the above two pictures show Jesus who is Jehovah Raah, The Lord My Shepherd and Jehovah Rapha, The Lord That Heals. The scripture reference for Jehovah Raah is Psalm 23:1 and says The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Remember saint reading this, when you get saved, Jesus will be like a shepherd for you and always be with you and give you shelter from the evils of this world. Just look at Luke 15:4 that says What man of you, having an hundred sheep, If he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

     Now saint reading this, remember that when you get saved, you have eternal life and salvation and no man and not even yourself can make you lose your salvation. We should not judge others and say after they leave this earth that they went to hell. Philippians 2:12 says Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. No one knows what is in an individual's heart before he leaves this earth. A murderer and thief whose last breath was Jesus you are God, I repent, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for me, was buried, and rose again gives that murderer and thief eternal life and salvation. On the other hand, a person who went to church every Sunday and did good works but never got saved will go to hell and the lake of fire. Jesus said at Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

     Like the picture above of Jesus holding the lost sheep, I state to you all that once someone is saved they are always saved. Here's a scripture that proves this. John 10:27 says My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. After salvation, I might look like a rooster, but I ain't ever been plucked. 

     Someone once said Well what if I jump out of God's hand; Can I lose my salvation? Tell this unbeliever, saved saints are married to Jesus and bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh and it is impossible to jump out of the Lord Jesus' hand when you get saved. Hallelujah, no man and not even yourself can take you out of Jesus' hand. Jesus has you all in His hand when you get saved and once saved always saved. Jesus can't lie and take back his promise of eternal life to you when you get saved. Jesus is not an Indian giver that gives the gift of salvation and then takes it back or expects something in return. We can turn our backs and sin and forget Jesus but Jesus will never leave us or forsake us. 

     Saint reading this if you are saved, Jesus by an eternal covenant will give you eternal life and eternal salvation. You should not worry about backsliding and losing your salvation. This will cause you to boast in your own good works to keep you saved. Jesus does not want us to boast in our own works to obtain salvation. The work has already been done for us all at the cross of Calvary by Jesus. All that is required of a saint to be saved is faith in the finished work that Jesus has already done for us on the cross of Calvary. 

     If we boasted in heaven that our good works under the law saved us, we would not need the Lord Jesus to die on the cross and remove our sins. Galatians 2:21 says I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. I would not work my soul to save for this my Lord has done, but I would work like any slave for love of His dear Son. We don't work to be saved; We work because we are saved. We do good works after salvation to make our faith come alive and shine Jesus to this world. Ephesians 2:10 says For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Our good works for Jesus will be rewarded after the rapture at the bema judgment seat. Jesus said at Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 

     Also, meditate on Galatians 3:13 that says Christ hath redeemed us (where Jesus' blood bought us out of sin and delivered and set us free) from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. Romans 10:4 says For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Therefore any curse in the old or new testament does not apply to you after you get saved and you can not lose your salvation. Some people worry about sinning the unpardonable sin of blaspheming the Holy Ghost after they get saved. Jesus said at Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. 

     Brother Bob says that saved saints should not worry about blaspheming the Holy Ghost because Jesus has set them free from all curses and a saved person can not blaspheme the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 12:3 says Wherefore I give you to understand that no man speaking by the Spirit of God (a saved person with the Holy Spirit received at salvation) calleth Jesus accursed (A saved person can't blaspheme or curse Jesus and the Holy Spirit): and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost (this proves that when a person gets saved and calls Jesus God by the Holy Ghost, they also receive the Holy Spirit). 

     Only an unsaved person can blaspheme the Holy Ghost. Brother Bob has told unsaved people in prayer services that mocked healings and deliverance that they should beware of blaspheming the Holy Ghost. 2 Chronicles 36:16 says But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy. Proverbs 29:1 says He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. So remember saint reading this if you ever meet anyone that tries to use the Word of God to condemn and curse you, you can ignore their curses because Jesus has redeemed you all from the curse of the law. John 8:36 says If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

     The second picture above shows Jesus who is Jehovah Rapha that means The Lord That Heals. Hallelujah Jesus is the Doctor that heals blind, lame, and crippled people. The scripture reference for Jehovah Rapha is Exodus 15:26 and says And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

     Open your bibles to Jeremiah 46:11 that says Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured. All Brother Bob has to say is Is there a Doctor in the house? Yes and his name is Dr. Jesus. Dr. Jesus has your medicine and heed Jeremiah's advice. Don't use other medicines in vain instead of trusting in the Lord Jesus. In the scripture above Gilead means Rock and Balm means medicine in Hebrew. So Brother Bob says go up to Jesus the Rock and take your medicine and rise and be healed. 1 Corinthians 10:4 says And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

     Notice the picture above of Abraham being provided with a ram to sacrifice instead of his son Isaac. This represents the next name for the Lord Jesus who is Jehovah Jireh that means The Lord Will Provide. The scripture reference for Jehovah Jireh is Genesis 22:13 and says And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day. In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.

     To the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, Brother Bob says thank you Jesus, when you (Jesus) died on the cross there was no ram in the bush. Jesus you took all our sins and sufferings on the cross of Calvary and we are crucified with Jesus Christ and Jesus has destroyed all our sins, worries, fears, and the devil for ever. Saint reading this you should every day thank Jesus for carrying and destroying all your worries, fears, and problems at the cross of Calvary. John 15:13 says Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. This occurred when Jesus died on the cross that is the greatest act of love ever.

     My next name for our Lord Jesus is Jehovah Shalom that means The Lord Is Peace. The scripture reference for Jehovah Shalom is Isaiah 9:6 and says For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. It's amazing to Brother Bob that the prophet Isaiah called Jesus both a Son and the everlasting Father. Jesus truly is God. Jesus said 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. Isaiah 55:12 says For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

     OK, here is a listing of all the other names of the Lord Jesus with scripture references. Jehovah Mekoddishkem means The Lord Who Sanctifies You. Leviticus 20:8 says And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord which sanctify you. Jehovah Shammah means The Lord Is There. Ezekial 48:35 says It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The Lord Is There. Qanna means Jealous. Exodus 34:14 says For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. 

     El Olam means the everlasting God. Genesis 21:33 says And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God. El Roi means the God who seest me. Genesis 16:13 says And she (Hagar) called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after Him that seeth me? El Gibhor means The mighty God. Isaiah 9:6 says For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Jehovah Hoseenu means the Lord our Maker because Colossians 1:16 says For by Him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him (Jesus), and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. Psalm 95:6 says O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

     Jehovah Nissi means The Lord My Banner or Standard. Exodus 17:15 says And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. 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 (banner Jehovah-nissi)) against him. Note that the Hebrew definition for standard (banner) is that when the devil shall come in like a flood, the Holy Spirit shall lift up a standard against him (make the devil flee quickly and disappear).

     Now look at the picture above while Brother Bob gives you the name Jehovah Sabaoth that means The Lord Of Hosts. Jesus pictured above in the middle of the angels is the Commander General of the Hosts or Army of Angels. Michael is the head warring archangel whose voice you will hear when the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout. The scripture reference for Jehovah Sabaoth is James 5:4 and says Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

     Saint reading this realize that a war is going on and the battle is not yours but the Lords. 2 Corinthians 10:4 says For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. Jesus is the captain or general of this battle and the angels are His army or host to fight your battles. The captain that Joshua saw at Joshua 5:15 was the Lord Jesus. Jesus and his hosts of angels knocked down the walls of Jericho and gave Joshua the victory. Claim this next verse saint reading this for yourself. Psalm 91:11 says For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

     The final name of our Lord Jesus is Jehovah Tsidkenu that means The Lord Our Righteousness. The scripture reference for Jehovah Tsidkenu is Jeremiah 23:5 and says Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is the name whereby He shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

     Saint reading this if you want to be righteous, sanctified, and holy, Brother Bob has one answer for you JESUS. Don't try with your own works to be righteous, sanctified, and holy. With your heart daily remember what Jesus did for you all on the cross of Calvary and Jesus will be your righteousness, sanctification, and holiness. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. 1 Corinthians 1:30 says But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

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

     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.

Heed The Prophets' Warnings

     Notice the picture above of the Lord Jesus asking you to get saved and heed the warnings from some great prophets of ancient times. 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. Micah 6:3 says O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

     Jeremiah tells us at Jeremiah 2:5 Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? The Lord Jesus is not prejudice and is calling to you today to give your heart to Jesus. The Lord Jesus will receive whosoever comes to him and save them from this troubled world. Revelation 22:17 says And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 

     Brother Bob like Isaiah says from Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Brother Bob like John the Baptist says to everyone repent of your sins today and confess your sins and then like in the times of John the Baptist, Jesus will arrive on the scene and take away all our sins and bless you with eternal life.

     What message can we get about the Lord Jesus from a picture above of a bar of Yardley's soap with oatmeal and almond. Brother Bob says the bible speaks a lot about the picture above of a bar of soap. Open your bibles to Jeremiah 2:22 that says For though thou wash thee with nitre (a type of soap), and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

     The reason you need Jesus to come into your life is because we were from birth all born as sinners. David said in Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psalm 58:3 says The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Brother Bob tells everyone on this bible study that the only thing that can wash away guilt and sin is the blood of Jesus when you believe daily with your hearts what Jesus did for you at the cross of Calvary.1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Revelation 1:5 says And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood.

     We are all sinners and only the Lord Jesus and not our friends, family, or church members can take away our sins. Jeremiah 13:23 says Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.  Jeremiah's parable above says like the Ethiopian who can't change his skin or the leopard who can't remove his spots, we can't by ourselves remove the sins we are born with. Only the Lord Jesus can remove our sins.
   
     Next look at a wise saying from Solomon at Proverbs 27:22. Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. This means if you take a fool and surround him with wheat or good friends at a church (like a doctor taking a pestle and mixing in a mortar the fool with the good church friends), the good friends won't take away the fool's foolishness. Only the Lord Jesus can take away our foolish sins and totally deliver us.

     Take heed to the warning at Jeremiah 13:27. I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem. wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be? Brother Bob prays in Jesus name that any saint reading this will answer Jeremiah's question When shall it once be by saying Now Today Jesus I want to get saved, repent, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for me, was buried, and rose again. 

     Listen to the cry from David at Psalm 95:7. For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. To day if ye will hear His voice, Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

     Notice the blessed picture above of a man who is truly doing 2 Chronicles 7:14 that says If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Take heed to the warning at Ezekiel 33:11 that says Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

     Brother Bob wants to give everyone a testimony. Several years ago Brother Bob was really being persecuted for lifting up the name of Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:12 says Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Brother Bob after much persecution wanted to stop preaching and just live in the world and forget about anything related to the church. 

     But this bible verse delivered Brother Bob and kept him from going back into the world. I suggest that you memorize Romans 8:13 that says For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. I realized that like David in the bible when he went back to the world and Ziklag and lost everything, I would die and lose everything if I went back to the world. Hallelujah, Brother Bob chose Jesus and life and denied the world and his flesh and got blessed. Choose life and Jesus and deny the world and your flesh daily. 1 John 5:11 says And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

     Open your bible to Psalm 34:12 and memorize this verse and say it whenever you want to complain, fret, think bad about anyone, or just sin when you are in traffic, at Walmart, or at the grocery store. Psalm 34:12 says What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

     Notice the picture above of a peaceful country log cabin. This log cabin represents a place of refuge from the storm. This little log cabin pictured above reminds me of the Lord Jesus who is our only refuge from the storms of this evil world. Isaiah 32:2 says And a man (Jesus) shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert (shelter) from the tempest (storm); as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. Proverbs 18:10 says The name of the Lord (Jesus) is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

     Take heed to the warning of the prophet Zephaniah and hide in the shelter who is the Lord Jesus from the wrath coming upon this evil world. Zephaniah 2:1 says Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger come upon you. Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger.

     Jesus is waiting for us to repent and hide in the safe shelter of Jesus. Isaiah 30:18 says And therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him. 

     Isaiah 26:20 says Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. Like the days of Egypt, the blood of Jesus will protect you from God's wrath against sin. Exodus 12:13 says And the blood (of Jesus) shall be to you for a token (sign) upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

     Notice the picture above given to me by my christian friend Nini from Thailand of a photo taken from a plane where you can see Jesus' face in the circle. I claim in Jesus name that anyone who sees this picture will forevermore be blessed with joy, peace, and strength in knowing that the Lord Jesus always watches over them and protects them and will never leave them nor forsake them.

     The Lord Jesus is in control of everything. Isaiah 40:12 that says Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and meted out heaven with the span (distance from the thumb to the little finger), and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 

     Proverbs 30:4 says Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in His fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell? Isaiah 40:15 says Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, He taketh up the isles as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before Him are as nothing; and they are counted to Him less than nothing and vanity.

     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.     

My Choice Is Jesus

     Notice the pictures above of the new heavens and the new earth where the Lord Jesus surrounds christians forever and the picture of a beautiful palace in this world offering many luxuries. Brother Bob says I'd choose the Lord Jesus over anything this world has to offer. Martin Luther said he would rather live in an old shack with Jesus than be forever without Jesus in the lake of fire. Brother Bob says I'd rather live in the corner of a housetop with Jesus and write these bible studies out of a one bedroom apartment with Jesus than be somewhere forever without Jesus. 

     I pray in Jesus name that whoever reads this bible study would choose Jesus and value Jesus over anything this world has to offer. 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 bible tells us that we can take nothing out of this world and only what we do for Jesus on this earth will remain forever. Ecclesiastes 5:15 says As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. 1 Timothy 6:6 says 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. 

     Most people on this earth save large amounts of money only to realize later in life that they can not take the money with them. Jesus told the rich young ruler to give away his money and bless the poor and the rich young man chose the money over Jesus and did not help the poor. Jesus replied in Mark 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

     The wealthiest emperor when he leaves this world has no more than the poorest beggar on the street. Psalm 49:16 says Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. The prophet Amos gave us all an example of people that loved the world more than Jesus and were more concerned about making money by selling corn and wheat instead of worshipping the Lord Jesus. 

     Amos 8:5 says Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? The sinners of Amos' time made the portions or ephah that they sold of corn and wheat very small and were greedy and charged a great amount of shekels to buy the corn and wheat. Amos tells us all that the people suffered because of their greed for money. Amos 8:10 says And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

     Don't be selfish enjoying the fading pleasures of this world. Instead witness Jesus everywhere, daily study the Word of God, and bless fatherless orphans and widows while you build treasure in heaven that lasts forever. Jesus told us at Mark 10:21 that we build treasure in heaven when we bless the poor. Jesus said at Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 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.

     Notice the pictures above of grapes and ears of corn. We can not take the grapes and corn on this earth with us to the kingdom of God. While in this world's vineyards and fields of our neighbors, we can pluck and eat only in this world, but can not pocket and carry away the food to the kingdom of God. Don't be like the man who built barns and stored all his fruits and goods in the barns and thought he could eat, drink, and be merry, taking ease for the rest of his life. 

     Jesus said at Luke 12:15 Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Jesus rebuked this man and said at Luke 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall these things be, which thou hast provided?

     Deuteronomy 23:24 says When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. When thou comest into the standing corn of they neighbor, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbor's standing corn. This verse tells us to be content and eat daily what Jesus provides and be thankful. This verse warns us to not take more grapes in vessels and pluck more corn and save them for a future day. 

     Jesus said at Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 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. Consider the birds that fly. The birds do not store their food in barns. Birds just put their beaks in the ground and by faith believe the Lord Jesus to provide food for that day. Birds have bills but they keep on singing. 

     There will be no bad thoughts of darkness or night in the kingdom of God. The Lord Jesus is the eternal light in the kingdom of God where darkness and night never exist. Christians don't have to sleep or get tired in the kingdom of God because light and day continually exist forever. Revelation 22:5 says And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 

     Rejoice about the light that exists during the millennium when Jesus rules this earth during the kingdom of heaven. John 8:12 says Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Isaiah told us that Jesus is the brilliant light in the City of Zion where there is no more sun or moon.  

     Isaiah 24:23 says Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously. When the Lord Jesus is on this earth during the millennium, Isaiah 30:26 tells us that the sun will shine like the light of seven days and the moon will shine like the sun. Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. Zechariah 14:7 says But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

     Rejoice about the light that exists with Jesus forever in the kingdom of God after the millennium. Isaiah 60:19 says The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. The sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Revelation 21:23 says And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Christians will have perfect glorified bodies forever living in Jesus' eternal light. Christians' lives in the kingdom of God will be infinitely better than the best time they experienced on this earth. Hallelujah.

 

     My final picture above is a model family that is humble and praying to Jesus. Be humble, deny yourself daily, and glorify the Lord Jesus. Jesus said at Luke 9:23 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. It's not about us but it's about exalting the Lord Jesus. John the Baptist said at John 3:30 He (the Lord Jesus) must increase, but I must decrease. 

      Note the following scriptures that tell us to avoid pride and be blessed by being humble. Proverbs 16:18 says Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 18:12 says Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. Luke 14:11 says For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. When Nimrod tried to build the Tower of Babel above God, the Lord Jesus would not allow man to rise above God and confused the people with various languages and stopped the building of the Tower of Babel. Instead of proud man traveling to the moon and Mars to only discover worthless rocks, man needs to be humble, bow down, and worship the Lord Jesus who will exalt christians to be caught up to heaven in peace forever with Jesus.

     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. 

Obey Jesus Like Animals And Nature

     Today, Brother Bob shows you all a picture of a group of rocks singing and praising Jesus. The picture is biblical and the bible says rocks and stones cry out and praise Jesus. Like the rocks and stones we all need to praise Jesus for dying for us all on the cross and giving us all hope to live in this wicked world. Luke 19:39 says And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, Master rebuke thy disciples. And He answered and said unto them, I tell you that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Isaiah 55:12 promises us For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. In other words, the birds in the mountains and hills praise Jesus with singing while the branches on the trees clap and wave their hands in the wind praising the Lord Jesus.

     Now to anyone who reads this bible study forevermore I want to quote from a great writer named George Swinnock from 1649 and I want you to as you read this quote take a moment to think on the power of these words and realize how animals and nature praise, know, and obey Jesus. Here's the quote: Did Balaam's ass speak at God's command and reprove the madness of the prophet? Did ravens at God's command feed Elijah? Did caterpillars, locusts, frogs, and lice execute God's judgment upon Pharoah? Do fire, hail, snow, vapours, and stormy winds fulfill His word? Doth the earth open, the rocks rend, the stars fight in their courses, waters stand up in heaps as a wall, the moon stand still, the sun go backward, wildernesses tremble, things cross the course of nature to obey His pleasure and wilt thou not obey Him? Wilt thou be worse than these irrational and inanimate creatures?

     Now after you read the above quote, here are the scriptures that describe George Swinnock's blessed quote. Notice the picture above is of a mule or ass that spoke and obeyed Jesus and rebuked Balaam and prevented Balaam from cursing God's people. Numbers 22:28 says And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee that thou hast smitten me these three times. We can all learn from the pictured mule or ass above who knows his Master Jesus according to the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah 1:3 says the ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib. But Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

     OK Brother Bob's next picture is of a crow or raven and yes this picture is biblical. Usually when Brother Bob does his morning jog, Brother Bob gets to see and hear several crows cawing. I usually think boy those birds sure make a lot of noise and racket, but Hallelujah Jesus can use the crows to bless us. When I look at these crows or ravens it reminds Brother Bob of Elijah and how the ravens obeyed Jesus and fed Elijah during a famine. 1 Kings 17:2 says And the word of the Lord came unto him saying, Get thee hence and turn thee eastward and hide thyself by the brook Cherith that is before Jordan. And it shall be that thou shalt drink of the brook and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. Lord Jesus help us all to be obedient like the ravens and go feed the hungry, visit the hurting, and take time for the poor people around us.

Why Are There No Dead Crows On Highways?

Because The Crows Always Signal Other Crows Saying

Car Car Car

     Here's all the scriptures that George Swinnock in the above quote was referring to on how nature obeys Jesus. Just think when you read all these scriptures, if Jesus can control nature and make the earth open, rocks rent, the wilderness shake, the sun and moon to stand still, waters to stand upon an heap, and the stars to fight in their courses, Jesus surely will bless and fix all your problems. Psalm 29:8 says The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness. The Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. Psalm 148:8 says Fire and hail; snow and vapours; stormy wind filfilling His word.

     Numbers 16:32 says And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up and their houses and all the men that appertained unto Korah and all their goods. Matthew 27:50 says Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent. Joshua 3:13 says And it shall come to pass as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above and they shall stand upon an heap.

     OK, now meditate on this next bible verse from Judges 5:20 that says They fought from heaven; The stars in their courses fought against Sisera. I encourage those reading this bible study to go to the website blueletterbible which will give you the Hebrew definition of the above verse. The word courses in Hebrew is defined as ladderway and Sisera is defined as battle. Jesus showed Brother Bob that the stars are the angels that fight the battle for us daily against the devil. Look at John 1:51 that says And He saith unto him, Verily, verily I say unto you, Hereafter, ye shall see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man. Jacob had a dream of a ladder going to heaven with the Father at the top of the ladder and angels going up and down the ladder. Well John 1:51 tells us all that the ladder is Jesus. Brother Bob always says CROSS WITH THE CROSS to God by Jesus.

     Saint reading this Psalm 91 talks about angels and says at Psalm 91:11 For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. The angels are coming down the ladderway or courses to fight the battle or Sisera for you all saints. Remember 2 Chronicles 20:15 and that Jesus is fighting your battle with His angels and anyone reading this bible study has the victory in every area of their life. 2 Chronicles 20:15 says And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem and thou King Jehoshaphat. Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; For the battle is not yours, but God's.

      OK, everyone take a good look at the picture above of a sun setting in the west. Do you realize that Jesus was so powerful in the days of Isaiah and Hezekiah. Jesus made the sun go backwards and try to set in the east instead of the west. When I think about this and how Jesus walked on water it makes Brother Bob realize that with Jesus all things are possible. I claim to all that read this bible study if you are facing an impossible situation in Jesus name that Jesus can do anything and will totally fix your problem forevermore. Jesus told me to tell everyone that reads this bible study that they will be totally delivered from problems they've faced for many years instantly.

     The bible verse that says Jesus caused the sun to go backward and set in the east is at Isaiah 38:8 and says Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned (turned back and went backwards) ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

     Also, take note that Joshua which means the same as Jesus spoke to the sun and moon and the sun and moon stood still for an entire day. Remember saint if Jesus can stop the sun and moon, it is easy for Jesus to fix any problem you face. The scripture where Joshua or Jesus stopped the sun and moon is at Joshua 10:12 and says Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon and thou moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still and the moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man for the Lord fought for Israel.

                    GOD                              JESUS                         LOVE

     OK, now Brother Bob wants you all to look at the three words above. Jesus told Brother Bob to share a revelation given to Brother Bob from Jesus. Jesus showed me that we can only feel love from people that believe Jesus is God. I'll prove this from the bible. 1 John 4:8 says He that loveth not knoweth not God. For God Is Love. Now Jesus is God because John 10:30 states the words of Jesus to be I and my Father are one. 1 John 5:7 says For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (which is Jesus), and the Holy Ghost; AND THESE THREE ARE ONE. This scripture proves that Jesus is One with God and is God. 

     John 1:1 says In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Revelation 19:13 tells us that the Word Jesus is God: And He (Jesus) was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called the Word of God. John 1:14 tells us that the Word Jesus is God: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father. full of grace and truth. God is called the I AM THAT I AM at Exodus 3:14 and Jesus stated He is God by calling Himself the I Am at John 8:58: Jesus said unto them Verily, verily I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am. Look at John 14:9 which proves that Jesus is God. John 14:9 says Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 

     Since God is Jesus and God is Love, you can only see love around a person that believes Jesus is God. Now if someone thinks Jesus is just a man, teacher, prophet, and not God there is no love in that person.  Pray for Jehovah Witnesses, Muslims, and Jews who do not believe Jesus is God. They all believe that Jesus is just a man, teacher and prophet and is not God. Therefore you will not feel love around Jehovah Witnesses, Muslims, and Jews who believe Jesus is not God. You will feel love around saved christians in the church that believe that Jesus is God. But show the love of Jesus to Jehovah Witnesses, Muslims, and Jews to save their souls for Jesus but speak out against their false doctrines.
