How To Act Like Kings With Jesus And Be Victorious Like Lemuel

 

How To Act Like Kings With Jesus According To The Bible
1) Kings Should Read God's Word Daily For Their Entire Life

     After salvation, christians are called kings and priests with our Lord Jesus. Revelation 1:5-6 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. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  Saved friends everywhere, since we are called kings with Jesus, let's see how the bible says kings should act. God wants us to live as kings in victory (not as paupers, defeated victims, or losers).

     First a king should read God's Word daily for strength and peace. Let's study the instructions given to kings at Deuteronomy 17:18; And it shall be when he (a king for Jesus) sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests and Levites. And it shall be with him and he shall read therein all the days of his life (kings for Jesus need to read God's Word all the days of their lives) (next notice the benefits christian kings receive for daily reading God's Word) that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes to do them. That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren and that he turn not aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children in the midst of Israel. 

     Notice that when christian kings daily read God's Word, they will prolong their days and their childrens' days. Saints it is very important to daily read and memorize God's Word because God's Word (that is Jesus) is greater than the name of Jesus according to Psalm 138:2 that says I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name. Right now become a king for Jesus that prolongs his days and get saved reading a KJV bible daily: Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess everywhere that Jesus is God, and believe in your heart the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

2) Kings Must Leave Their Hearts In God's Hands

     Second kings must leave their hearts in God's hands. Proverbs 21:1 says The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord as the rivers of water; He turneth it withersoever He will. Saved christian kings shouldn't trust their own hearts because Jeremiah 17:9 says The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; Who can know it? Instead christian kings should give their heart and their entire life (their mind, hands, feet, and everything) to the Lord Jesus. 

     In other words, when making decisions, don't react; instead tell Jesus in prayer about your decision and wait for God's peace that is yes to move forward with your decision. If God gives you no peace about your decision, God says no and don't move. This is stated at Philippians 4:6 that says Be careful for nothing; but in everything 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. 

     Act like a king for Jesus and leave your heart in God's hand. Don't be a fool and trust in your own heart and suffer trouble. Proverbs 28:26 says He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Instead of trusting in your own heart that leads to sin and death, trust in the Lord Jesus by giving your heart to Jesus and receive peace and life. Notice the instructions given by Romans 6:13,16; Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin; but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey; his servants ye are in whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness.

3) Kings Find It Honourable To Search Out A Matter

     Third kings find it honourable to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2 says It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. God likes to hide things so He can reward christian kings who diligently seek Him. Keep reading God's Word (that is Jesus) daily that is like searching for valuable treasure. Colossians 1:27 says To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. In fact Jesus and God's Word is better than the greatest treasures on this earth; Right now rejoice and say Psalm 119:162 I rejoice at thy Word, as one that findeth great spoil.

     If you daily keep abiding and seeking for Jesus in His Word diligently, Jesus will reward you with wisdom, peace, and joy. Hebrews 11:6 promises But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. And if christian kings daily abide and live for Jesus (denying sin daily), they will get all their prayers answered. This is promised by John 15:7 where Jesus said If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

     Act like a christian king and daily search out wisdom from God's Word. God's Word is like a christmas present that is always new every time you read a bible verse. You won't get bored reading God's Word daily because the wisdom of Jesus is infinite. John 21:25 says And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. 

     Be a christian king and always be open to learning new blessings from the bible. Like Brother Bob say the more I know the less I know. This is because 1 Corinthians 8:2 says And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 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. In other words, be a christian king and keep seeking to learn the deep mysteries of God's Word that will be revealed unto you by the Holy Ghost.

4) Kings Don't Give Strength To Wicked Women Or To The Things Of This World

     Fourth, let's learn how to act like kings for Jesus from the wise advice of King Lemuel's mother at Proverbs 31:1-9. King Lemuel's identity is uncertain but Jewish evidence says that Lemuel is Solomon taking advice from his mother Bathsheba. I believe this is correct even though Bathsheba sinned by committing adultery with King David. Bathsheba is listed in Matthew 1:6 as the blessed great grandmother of our Lord Jesus. The blood of Jesus washed away Bathsheba's sins and recorded her blessed advice to King Lemuel in the bible. 

     Proverbs 31:1 says The words of King Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him; What my son? and What the son of my womb? and what the son of my vows? Give not strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. Notice that according to Bathsheba, christian kings should not give strength to wicked women or to the things of this world. Usually the two things that ruin most men are wicked women and the love of money with the things of this world. Unfortunately Solomon did not obey his mother's advice and allowed 1000 heathen women to have him worship idols and forget God. 

     Notice how Deuteronomy 17:16-17 speaks about Bathsheba's blessed advice. But he (a king) shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt (a type of the world), to the end that he should multiply horses; forasmuch as the Lord hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. In other words, christian kings should stay with Jesus and not return to the sins of their worldly past. Then Deuteronomy 17:7 says Neither shall he (a king) multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. In other words christian kings should not allow wicked women and money (gambling and lottery tickets) to cause them to forget Jesus and the Word.

5) Kings Protect Their Minds By Abstaining From Liquor, Wine, And Beer

     Fifth, christian kings protect and preserve their minds to remember God's Word by abstaining from liquor, wine, and beer. Bathsheba told King Lemuel at Proverbs 31:4-5 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink; Lest they drink, and forget the law and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. In other words, christian kings must not drink liquor, wine, or beer that makes people forget Jesus and the Word of God. Don't let alcohol ruin your mind. 

     Proverbs 20:1 says Wine is a mocker; Strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise (notice that according to 1 Corinthians 1:30 Jesus is wisdom; therefore drinking alcohol will make people forget Jesus and create trouble). Proverbs 23:29-32 says Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

6) Kings Use Their Position To Bring Salvation To Lost Sinnners

     Sixth, christian kings use their position to bring salvation to lost sinners. Bathsheba told King Lemuel at Proverbs 31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. In other words, be christian kings and open your mouth while you witness Jesus everywhere to save lost sinners who are appointed to destruction. Hebrews 9:27 speaks about the destiny of lost sinners saying And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (the great white throne judgment where unbelievers in Jesus are cast into the lake of fire's destruction).

     Obey Bathsheba's advice and be a christian king witnessing Jesus to lost sinners to save them from destruction. Proverbs 11:30 says The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life and he that winneth souls is wise. Jude 22-23 says And of some have compassion, making a difference. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 

     I pray in Jesus name, we all obey Jesus' command at Luke 14:23 and Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Take heed to King David's advice at Psalm 126:6 that says He that goeth forth and weepeth (Are you weeping for lost sinners trying to save them?) bearing precious seed (sending the Word of God everywhere over this internet to save lost sinners) shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves (lost sinners won to Jesus) with him. Finally remember that Jesus rejoices when a lost sinner gets saved; Jesus said at Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God (Jesus rejoices) over one sinner that repenteth. 


How To Act Like Kings With Jesus According To The Bible
7) Kings Use Their Position To Bring Sympathy

     Seventh, christian kings use their position to bring sympathy. Bathsheba told King Lemuel at Proverbs 31:9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. Be a blessed christian king that pities and considers the poor. Proverbs 19:17 says He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord and that which he hath given will He pay him again. In other words, if you take time to listen to poor people (pick up the phone and say kind words to everyone) and help them buy food, clothes, and pay rent, you are on God's timeclock and God will pay you for just pitying and considering the poor. Notice that the bible says you don't have to pay the poor (just pity the poor) and Jesus will pay you for your kindness. 

     Next notice the seven blessings you will receive for considering the poor. Psalm 41 promises Blessed is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. Remember according to James 1:27 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.   

     Finally, note the wise advice to kings at Proverbs 20:28 that says Mercy and truth preserve the king and his throne is upholden by mercy. Remember show mercy to everyone, even your worst enemies. Don't be bitter and hold a grudge. Remember Brother Bob's motto for success; Avoid angry people and forgive forever. Bitterness is a trick of the devil that troubles a person and harms everyone around them. Hebrews 12:15 says Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. 

     I have enjoyed writing this bible study today that I pray in Jesus name blesses thousands all over this earth 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.

How Atheist Doctor William Paton MacKay Got Saved And Wrote The Blessed Hymn Revive Us Again

 

How Atheist Doctor William Paton MacKay Got Saved
And Wrote The Blessed Hymn Revive Us Again

     William Paton MacKay (1839-1885) pictured above was born in the year 1839. At the age of 17 he left for college. His mother was a very godly christian woman who didn't want William to go to college for fear he was heading down a path of destruction. But she turned him over to the Lord and let him attend college. Before his departure, she gave William a bible to take with him and on the front page of the bible she wrote his name, her name, and a bible verse. William's mother told her son that she would pray every day for his salvation.

     William left for college and then went on to the University Medical school where he began to travel with the wrong crowd. One day in a drunken spree, William pawned his mother's bible for money to buy liquor. He wandered away from what his mother taught him at home. William went on to become a successful doctor. Forsaking his upbringing, he became a committed infidel and was even elected President of a society of atheists in the city. 

     But God had a plan for William Paton MacKay. One day an accident victim came into his hospital and was under Dr. MacKay's care. The patient, learning that he only had a few hours to live, asked Dr. MacKay, "Will you please send for my landlady and ask her to send me the book?" The doctor agreed, and within a few hours the landlady arrived with the book. It was the dying patient's bible.  

     Within a short time the patient died. Dr. MacKay was curious about the kind of book the patient requested. Dr. MacKay asked his nurse "What was the book that this dying patient asked for? Was it his bank book or his date book?" The nurse replied "No it was neither of these? It is still under his pillow. Go look." Dr. MacKay reached under the pillow and pulled out the book.

     When he opened it his eyes fell immediately upon the front page of the bible. To his amazement it was the very bible he had received from his mother that he had pawned years before. He saw his name, his mother's name, and the bible verse that she inscribed. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

     Dr. MacKay was so overwhelmed that he slipped the bible under his coat and rushed back to his private office. It was there in that office that Dr. MacKay who was a wicked infidel and atheist fell to his knees praying that God would have mercy on him and save him. He asked the Lord Jesus to forgive him for his sinful life and got gloriously saved because of his mother's daily prayers. Like Dr. MacKay, friend reading this anywhere, no matter how bad your past sins were, you too can be 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. 


     After salvation, Dr. MacKay immediately contacted his mother to tell her how God used her bible to dramatically answer her prayers and save his soul. Then by the grace of God, William Paton MacKay a world renowned doctor became a preacher, well known author for Jesus, and a songwriter. In fact it was from his pen we received the beautiful hymn Revive Us Again. Click this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxgzvlyyz5k and receive peace while you sing the words below of William MacKay's blessed hymn called Revive Us Again. 

Revive Us Again

We praise thee O God; For the Son of thy love
For Jesus who died; And is now gone above

Hallelujah thine the glory; Hallelujah Amen
Hallelujah thine the glory; Revive us again

We praise thee O God; For thy Spirit of light
Who has shown us our Saviour; And scattered our night

All glory and praise; To the Lamb that was slain
Who has borne all our sins; And hath cleansed every stain

Revive us again; Fill each heart with thy love
May each soul be rekindled; With fire from above

We praise thee O God; For the joy thou hast given
To the saints in communion; These foretastes of heaven

     I pray in Jesus name that Dr. William MacKay's blessed testimony and the hymn Revive Us Again blesses people everywhere with great peace and joy. 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.

Grace Grace God's Grace; Grace That Is Greater Than All Our Sin

 


Five Types Of Grace
1) Saving Grace

     The first type of grace is saving grace. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Saving grace occurs when you by faith believe the finished work done by our Lord Jesus at the cross of Calvary. Right now get saved by grace. Get saved, repent, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. 

     Saving grace occurs when you trust in Jesus alone to get to heaven. Good works, church attendance, twiddling the rosary beads, kissing the pope's big toe, or getting baptized won't save you. Just because I walk down an aisle and shake a six foot spiritual icicle's hand, answer some questions, do some good works, get dunked in the pool, and blend in with the crowd won't save me. The truth is simply stated at 1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son (Jesus) hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. Trust Jesus and go to heaven. Trust anything else and go to hell.

     One time a woman told a preacher "We're all working to get to the same place." The preacher replied "Yes, and you're going to get there if you aren't careful." Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You get wages when you sin that is death and everlasting hell. Instead of working to get the wages of death and hell, by faith with your heart receive the free gift of God's salvation that is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

     Good works occur after salvation that are rewarded after the rapture at the bema judgment seat for saints. Jesus said at Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly (at the rapture), and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 2 Timothy 4:1 says I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge (at the bema judgment seat) the quick (saints that are alive at the rapture) and the dead (in Christ) at His appearing (after the rapture when Jesus first appears in the air to meet the saints in the clouds) and His kingdom. Ephesians 2:10 says For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works (notice that after salvation good works occur to shine Jesus to lost sinners), which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 

     Grace gives us boldness to approach the throne of God without guilt where the blood of Jesus removes our sins. 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. Hebrews 4:16 says Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 

     After salvation with Jesus, how comforting to say but for the grace of God where would I be? But for the grace of God, Brother Bob would either be in jail, on dope, or dead in a grave. The grace of Jesus saved Brother Bob from drinking, stealing, gambling, and prison and delivered me from a life with gangs and gambling in Atlantic City. Almost all my former sinful friends without Jesus are either in jail or dead. Where would we be but for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ? 

Your worst days are never so bad 
that you are beyond the reach of God's grace
And your best days are never so good
that you are beyond the need of God's grace

A blessed story about grace to make you smile

     One day a man met a lady at the barbershop. The lady said would you mind if a woman gave you a shave. The man let the woman shave him. The woman told the man that her name was Grace. After one week the man did not have to shave. After one month the man did not have to shave. This man said "I'll have to thank Grace for the blessed shave and tell her I didn't have to shave for a month." When Grace heard about this blessing, Grace told the man, "You're blessed because when you're shaved (saved) by Grace; Once shaved always shaved." 



Read The Story Below Called The Touch Of The Master's Hand
I Pray In Jesus Name It Blesses You

     Once there was a Norwegian violinist who was an expert violinist and the best in the world. This master violinist could make any violin play beautiful music. One day this violinist got lost in the woods. While walking through the forest, he found an old man's house. The violinist entered the old man's house and began to talk to the old man. On the shelf was an old violin that hadn't been played for one hundred years. 

     The master violinist said I like your old violin. The old man replied, "That violin isn't much, It just squeaks and can't keep a tune." The master violinist told the old man "Let me try to play that old violin." He took that old violin, wiped off the dust, and tuned the old violin. Then he took a bow and began to play that old violin. When he played, the most beautiful music filled the room. The old man said "I can't believe that old sorry good for nothing violin is producing such beautiful music and a wonderful melody." 

     The old violin represents our old sinful nature that can't accomplish anything. But when Jesus' nail scarred hand reaches down from heaven to save a lost sinner, that sinner becomes a new creature that is blessed and can perform the impossible. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new. Remember Philippians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The difference wasn't in the the violin
The difference was the touch of the master's hand

The Touch Of The Master's Hand Poem By Myra Brooks Welch

Many a man with life out of tune and battered and scarred with sin
Is auctioned cheap to the thoughtless crowd much like the old violin

But the master comes and the foolish crowd never can quite understand
The worth of a soul and the change that's wrought by the touch of the master's hand

     I pray in Jesus name that everyone reading this can say the difference in their life was the touch of the Master Jesus' hand on their life. Be blessed and click this youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6a9yxXxIDs and sing with the precious children the words below of He Touched Me.

Shackled by a heavy burden; 'Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me; And now I am no longer the same

He touched me; Oh He touched me
And Oh the joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and He made me whole

Since I've met this blessed Saviour; Since He cleansed and made me whole
Oh I will never cease to praise Him; I'll shout it while eternity rolls



Five Types Of Grace
2) Schooling Grace

     The second type of grace is schooling grace. Titus 2:11 says For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. In other words the grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. Twas grace that taught my heart to fear; And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear; The hour I first believed.

     After salvation, you enter the school of God's grace where the Holy Ghost teaches you the Word of God. In God's school of grace there are no graduates walking on earth because we forever learn the infinite wisdom of the Word of God. John 21:25 says And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

     Since the wisdom from God's Word is infinite, don't say I know everything about God's Word. Instead say The more I know the less I know, always seeking to learn more about God's infinite Word. 1 Corinthians 8:2 says And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.  

     God's Word is like the ocean pictured above. We only know the foam at our feet but the endless infinite wisdom from God's Word can be seen by the vast oceans of water beyond our sight.  Thank you Lord Jesus for your blessed Word that's like a christmas present. Every time we open the Word of God, there is always something new to learn to give us joy, peace, and happiness. 


Five Types Of Grace
3) Sufficient Grace

     The third type of grace is sufficient grace. Jesus said at 2 Corinthians 12:9 My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. The grace of Jesus Christ is sufficient with an endless supply to overcome any trouble in this life. The blood of Jesus is more powerful than any enemy or gun and is sufficient to protect you from the troubles of this world. 

     Let the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ give you victory in every area of your life to overcome this troubled world. Every day say Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with (Jesus) Christ. By faith with your heart daily see Jesus Christ crucified that is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever according to Hebrews 13:8. See all your problems, fears, worries, and sickness crucified and removed forever at the cross of Calvary. Praise our Lord Jesus for dying for wretched sinners like you and me. Jesus will remove all our troubles. Give your burdens to Jesus because 1 Peter 5:7 says Casting all your care upon Him; for He (Jesus) careth for you. Hebrews 2:14 says Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He (Jesus) also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death (on the cross of Calvary) He might destroy Him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.



Five Types Of Grace
4) Sustaining Grace

     The fourth type of grace is sustaining grace that keeps you living for Jesus. 2 Timothy 1:9 says Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. Sustaining grace strengthens missionaries to preach in jungles and remote huts about Jesus. 

     Pictured above, an American tourist saw a happy missionary living and crawling around in filthy huts telling little African children about Jesus. The American tourist told the missionary "I wouldn't do that for a million dollars." The missionary replied "I wouldn't either; But I'd do it for Jesus because He's done so much for me."

     Receive sustaining grace to keep living for Jesus through troubles by saying the following two scriptures for strength. Say Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Say 2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. 

     Follow the steps of Jesus noted at 1 Peter 2:21: For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously. In other words don't hold onto your problems. Give your problems to Jesus who will remove all your troubles. Let go and let God while you daily by faith cast your cares upon Jesus and the cross of Calvary. Thank Jesus for His GRACE that is God's Riches At Christ's Expense.



Five Types Of Grace
5) Surpassing Grace

     The fifth type of grace is future surpassing grace. Ephesians 2:7 says That in the ages to come He (Jesus) might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. When saints get to heaven, Jesus will polish them up and put them on display. When the angels ask "Who are these saints?" Jesus will reply "They are my trophies of grace." Then all the saints will sing about God's future surpassing grace singing "When we've been there 10000 years bright shining as the Son, we've no less days to sing God's praise then when we first begun." 

While You Sing The Words Below For Grace Greater Than Our Sin
Written By Julia H. Johnston 1911

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord; Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt
Yonder on Calvary's Mount outpoured; There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt

Grace, grace, God's grace; Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God's grace; Grace that is greater than all our sin

Sin and despair like the sea waves cold; Threaten the soul with infinite loss
Grace that is greater; Yes grace untold; Points to the refuge the mighty cross

Marvelous infinite matchless grace; Freely bestowed on all who believe
All who are longing to see His face; Will you this moment His grace received

Romans 5:20-21
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign

Maniac To Missionary Testimonies

 


How A Key In A Fish's Belly Saved A Muslim Man In West Africa

     In March 2018, a West African christian woman named Adabele Okeke asked her church to pray for her Muslim husband named Makena. When Adabele told Makena that she wanted to attend a week long church revival, Makena was furious and beat her severely. Makena told his wife to focus on Islam and forget the church. But Adabele went to the week long church revival anyway. 

     When Makena learned that Adabele attended the church revival, he got upset, locked up the house, and told the neighbors that Adabele or anyone else could never enter his home again. To add to the drama, Makena threw the house key into the river as he headed to his girlfriend's house to cheat on his wife for a week.

     Before Adabele returned home after the revival, she stopped at the local market to buy fish to prepare a meal for Makena. When Adabele got home she thought it was strange that the house was locked up tightly. She decided to start preparing the fish for a meal outside. She borrowed a pot from her neighbor and began to clean the fish. 

     While Adabele was cutting open a fish, a key fell out of its belly. Puzzled, she examined it and remarked to her neighbor that the key looked similar to her own house key. Her neighbor urged her to try it in the lock and it worked (Thank you Jesus). After entering the house, while the food cooked, Adabele cleaned the house waiting for Makena to return. 

     When Makena walked home from the mosque, he was shocked that his house had been opened; Makena got angry thinking that a neighbor had helped his wife bust open the door or break the lock. After Makena saw that nothing was damaged, he demanded to know how Adabele got in. Adabele explained about the key in the fish's belly. Stunned, Makena being a superstitious man decided that he should learn about christianity.

     The next Sunday morning Makena went to church with Adabele. After the Sunday morning service, Makena asked if he could speak with the pastor privately. He told the pastor about the amazing story of the key in the fish's belly. Makena said I want to serve the God of the christians. He is the one who knows and has power to do what no one else can. Makena got gloriously saved and was born again. Adabele's prayers were answered and Makena turned from sin and followed Jesus. 

     Matthew 17:27 tells how a coin in a fish's mouth paid taxes for Jesus and Peter. Jesus told Peter "Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money; that take, and give unto them for me and thee". In West Africa in 2018, a house key in a fish's belly became a key to the kingdom of God for an abusive husband. Our Lord Jesus is still a fisher of men. 

     Right now like Makena, Jesus can save you no matter how bad your past sins have been. The blood of Jesus will wash away all your sins and make you white as snow where Jesus will not remember your sins. Get saved now; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess everywhere that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for your sins on the cross, was buried, and rose again.



How Jacob Koshy Found Jesus By Smoking The Word Of God

     Jacob Koshy grew up in Singapore with one driving ambition: To be a success in life and gain all the money and possessions he could obtain. When he was a young man, he discovered that crime and the underworld was his fast track to success. Soon he was deeply involved in the world of drugs and gambling, and eventually he became a one man international smuggling network.

     In 1980, he was caught, arrested, and placed in a government drug rehabilitation prison in Singapore. It was more than he could bear. All his goals, purposes, dreams, and ambitions were locked up with him in a tiny cell, and his heart was full of a cold emptiness that frightened him.

     Jacob was a smoker and cigarettes weren't allowed in the prison, so he smuggled in tobacco and rolled it in the pages of a Gideon Bible that he tore out one page at a time as needed. One day he fell asleep while smoking. He awoke to find that the cigarette had burned out, and all that remained was a scrap of charred paper. He unrolled it and read what was written: Acts 9:4 "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me."

     Jacob became so curious about the quote that he asked for another bible and read the entire story of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. He suddenly realized that if God could help someone like Saul (who had murdered christians), God could help him too. There in his cell, he knelt and prayed, asking Jesus to come into his life and change him. He began crying and couldn't stop. The tears of a wasted life washed away his pain while Jacob got gloriously saved and born again. 

     Then Jacob started telling his story to other prisoners witnessing Jesus throughout the prison. After he was released, he became involved in a church. He met a christian woman, married, and became a missionary in the Far East where he tells people far and wide, "Who would have believed that I could find the Truth (Jesus) by smoking the Word of God".

     I pray that these maniac to missionary testimonies bless people all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength.

Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Why An Asian Antiochian Vessel Is Better Than Two Alexandrian Ships


The King James Bible Translated From Antiochian Texts Is Better Than
Any Modern Bible Version Translated From Alexandrian Texts
I Was Inspired To Write This Bible Study After Reading
Dr. William P. Grady's Book Given By Inspiration And
The Chapter The Old Ship Of Alexandria 

     Today we have many bible translations to choose from when we select the correct bible to read. You can choose a KJV (King James Version), NIV (New International Version), ASV (American Standard Version), or an RSV (Revised Standard Version). This bible study will prove that the KJV bible is the correct bible to read that is the infallible perfect Word of God superior to all other bible versions. The devil has tried to attack the KJV bible because he knows that the perfect KJV bible will defeat him. 

     Psalm 138:2 says I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name. The Word of God is magnified above the name of Jesus (Note though that the Word of God is Jesus according to John 1:1). Therefore we need to daily read and meditate on the KJV Word of God. Jesus spoke the Word of God to resist the devil saying It is written three times to overcome the devil. Therefore the devil has tried to attack the perfect KJV Word of God with many false modern bible translations that delete and remove thousands of important bible scriptures. 

     Right now take time to get saved and daily read the KJV bible. 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. Isaiah 26:3-4 promises perfect peace to anyone who gets saved and reads their KJV bible. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.  

     Let's see why the KJV bible is the best bible to read. The old testament of the KJV bible was translated from the correct Hebrew Masoretic text. The new testament of the  KJV bible was translated from the correct Greek Antiochian Asian Textus Receptus text (Also called Syrian or Byzantine text). This is because the disciples were called christians first in Antioch according to Acts 11:26. Therefore the first correct bible translations came from Antioch, Syria. Then in 350AD a heretic from Alexandria, Egypt named Origen Adamantius corrupted the original Antiochian Textus Receptus texts. Origen created the corrupt new testament Alexandrian texts of the bible that are used by all the modern bible translations (NIV, ASV, RSV, and the ESV). We can conclude that the origin of all the corruption comes from Origen.  

     Two of the earliest corrupt translations from the Alexandrian Origen text were discovered in the 1800s by two British theologians. These two corrupt Alexandrian translations are called Codex Sinaiticus (Codex Aleph) and Codex Vaticanus (Codex B) (Codex "not Kodak" means a book with a spine or binding instead of scrolls on two poles). All the modern bibles use Sinaiticus and Vaticanus for reference and are corrupt. Emperor Constantine used Codex Vaticanus as one of his 50 royal bibles copied at Caesarea under the auspice of Eusebius. Only the KJV bible uses the perfect correct Antiochian Textus Receptus text for reference. Therefore only read a KJV bible to get the truth of God's Word.


What Is Significant About St. Catherines Greek Orthodox Monastery
Pictured Above

     Next lets look at where the corrupt Alexandrian Sinaiticus and Vaticanus texts were found in the 1800s. The Sinaiticus text was found by Constantine Tischendorf in a big trash receptacle (garbage can) in a Greek Orthodox monastery (some people say a monastery is a home for unwed fathers) at the foot of Mt Sinai called St. Catherines pictured above. The monks described Sinaiticus as just scrap. The Vaticanus text was found by Samuel Prideaux Tregelles in the Pope's Vatican library in Rome, Italy. I agree with the monks that all the modern versions of the bible are scrap that should be thrown in the trash that refer to Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.

     People that recommend the corrupt modern translated bibles say that they are the most accurate because their references (Sinaiticus and Vaticanus) are the oldest available copies of the bible. This is false reasoning because Sinaiticus and Vaticanus remained due to neglect and isolation (one was in a garbage can and the other one was in the dusty Pope's Vatican library that nobody used). The majority of people in Asia and not Alexandria read the Textus Receptus Antiochian bible (the text that was received and trusted by God's people). This is why the Textus Receptus is also called the Majority text. Copies of ancient Textus Receptus texts from Antioch (older and more accurate than any corrupt Alexandrian text) do not exist today because people in Antioch constantly read their bibles and thumbed them to pieces. The correct Textus Receptus manuscripts were used and then disintegrated. Remember the bible that is falling apart is often owned by a christian who's not.



Biblical Proof That Alexandrians Opposed Antiochians
According To Acts 6:3-9

     Alexandrians who preached from corrupt modern bible translations opposed Antiochian christians who preached from the true KJV bible. According to Acts 6:5 the first seven deacons of the church were based in Antioch. Acts 6:3 says Wherefore brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. Acts 6:5 says And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch. Opposition to Stephen and the Antiochian deacons came from Alexandria at Acts 6:9 that says Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

     Dr. Bill Grady's analysis about Acts 6:3-9 says there are seven deacons introduced in Acts 6:5 with their five antagonists identified in Acts 6:9. Note how one of the deacons is from Antioch while Alexandrians are named among the opposition. Thus we see the number of death (five) stalking the number of perfection (seven) precisely as events would later unfold in the arena of textual criticism between Alexandrian and Antiochian text types. 



Biblical Proof That Antiochian KJV Bibles Are Better
Than Alexandrian Modern Version Bibles
According To Paul and Luke's Acts 27 Maritime Voyage

     When we read Acts 27 about Paul and Luke's journey at sea, we'll learn that the KJV Antiochian bibles are better than the Alexandrian modern version bibles by similitudes (a comparison between two things). Acts 27:1 tells us that Paul and Luke who wrote 1/3 of the new testament (9 books out of 27 new testament books) were passengers on ships going to Rome, Italy. The devil tried to kill Paul and Luke with storms to prevent them from writing God's Word and 1/3 of the new testament. Acts 27:1 says And when it was determined that we (Luke who wrote the book of Acts along with Paul) should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. 

     Notice the 9 books the devil was trying to prevent Paul and Luke from writing (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon that Paul would write from prison along with the pastoral epistles called First and Second Timothy and Titus) and the two books written by Luke (Acts and Luke). The devil wanted to stop Paul and Luke from writing God's Word because he knew that Matthew 4:4 says Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. The devil wanted to destroy the main cargo of the ship (wheat) that represented the Word of God according to Acts 27:38: And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. Fortunately Paul and Luke survived a shipwreck and they successfully wrote 1/3 of the new testament. 

     Next notice the three different ships that Paul and Luke sailed on. The first ship they sailed on was an Asian ship from Adramyttium representing the blessed KJV Antiochian Textus Receptus bible. After they left the Asian ship we'll see that they sailed on two Alexandrian ships representing the corrupt Alexandrian Sinaiticus and Vaticanus bibles referenced by false modern version bibles. 

     Lets take a journey first with Paul and Luke on the blessed KJV Asian ship at Adramyttium. Notice that the journey begins on a blessed Antiochian KJV Asian ship (not an Alexandrian ship). Acts 27:2-3 says And entering into a ship of Adramyttium (defined as living through death with Jesus), we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus (defined as the best ruler where the KJV is the best bible), a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us. And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

     Notice that when Paul and Luke were on the KJV blessed Asian ship, they had liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17 says Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Paul and Luke experienced peace and freedom on the KJV Asian ship where they could enter the ship where they launched with liberty to visit friends and refresh themselves. 

     Subsequently Paul and Luke will be forced to transfer to two Egyptian Alexandrian vessels that represent Sinaiticus and Vaticanus where trouble will occur. Acts 27:6 says And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria (notice that discussed earlier Sinaiticus was found in a garbage can at St. Catherines and Vaticanus was found in the Pope's Vatican library at Rome) sailing into Italy; and he put us therein (notice that Paul and Luke were forcibly put onto the NIV, ASV RSV Alexandrian ship with no liberty and freedom). Then Paul and Luke were put onto a second Alexandrian ship after they were exiled on the island of Melita after the first Alexandrian shipwreck. Acts 28:11 says And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux (defined as the twin sons of Jupiter and Leda that were regarded as the divinities that sailors worshipped). Truly everything associated with Alexandrian modern bible versions is corrupt and needs to be avoided. Only read and study from KJV bibles.

     Next notice that the final destination of the voyage was Rome, Italy. According to Acts 27:8 the journey on the first Alexandrian ship started at a place called Fair Havens where according to Acts 27:12 the destination was Phenice. But the Alexandrian ship experienced a storm called Euroclydon and instead arrived at the island of Melita. According to Bill Grady, one of the most profound lessons in this story can be gleaned from viewing a simple map of the ancient world pictured above. What should have been a mere 40 mile jaunt along the shoreline of Crete between the Fair Havens and Phenice became a whirlwind tour that got blown off course lasting 14 days and covering a total of 600 miles landing on the island of Melita. Alexandrian ships will always take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.  



More Proof That Antiochian KJV Bibles Are Better 
Than Alexandrian Modern Version Bibles
According To Paul And Luke's Acts 27 Maritime Voyage

     After Paul and Luke survived to pen their nine inspired books, the devil would now pursue plan B. Corrupt the finished product. The devil would use Westcott and Hort in the 1800s to create modern corrupt bible versions from Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. For example the KJV bible says that 276 passengers survived a shipwreck that included Paul and Luke. Acts 27:37 says And we were in all in the ship 276 souls. Acts 27:44 confirms that all the 276 crew members escaped safe to land. 

     But the Vaticanus referenced as footnotes for Acts 27:37 in modern bible versions like the ESV (English Standard Version) say only about threescore and sixteen (76) crew members survived (76 trombones made the big parade). According to the Vaticanus, 200 passengers aboard the Alexandrian ship apparently disappeared into thin air, drowned, or were missing. Even the Titanic had a better survival percentage than that. According to the corrupt Vaticanus, that Alexandrian ship must have went through the Bermuda Triangle (200 people disappeared mysteriously). The Vaticanus and all modern bibles make a liar out of God's KJV bible that truly states at Acts 27:37 that all the 276 crew members escaped safe to land. 

     Next let's see how the Alexandrian ship sailed. Acts 27:7 says And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone. We learn that the Alexandrian modern bible movement began its voyage by churning slowly and with great subtelty. Over many years these corrupt bibles removed thousands of blessed scriptures disobeying Proverbs 22:28 that says Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. The wind represented by the Holy Ghost refused to cooperate with these corrupt readings. This is why modern bible versions are always going in and out of publication. 

     Also notice that the Alexandrian ship sailed under Crete. Titus 1:12-13 describes Cretians saying Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies (hence sailing slowly). (According to Plutarch playing the Cretian with the Cretains is like lying to the liars). This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith. Paul warned the centurion at Crete at Acts 27:10 Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. Spiritual men like Paul realize the dangers from Alexandrian modern bible versions and warn people to remain aboard KJV Antiochian blessed vessels. 

     Unfortunately the centurion ignored Paul's advice and  based his decision to leave Fair Havens on the Cretian lies from his master and owner at Acts 27:11. Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. It's amazing that the centurion made his fateful decision at verse 11 where the number 11 represents a crisis (Eleventh hour reprieve, 911 when on September 11, 2001 Flight 11 made a crisis by hitting the twin towers that looked like an 11 in New York City that has 11 letters. Note also that the state of New York was the 11th state to join the Union).



Continuing On Our Journey With Paul And Luke
We Learn Why Alexandrian Modern Bibles Are Corrupt

     Acts 27:12 explains why the centurion decided to sail on an Alexandrian ship ignoring the possibility of a great storm called Euroclydon. And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. 

     Bill Grady noted that according to Websters, commodious is simply that which is convenient or suitable (as in the difference between an outhouse and an indoor commode). Laodiceans view the KJV as a major inconvenience saying I can't understand the archaic words or certain passages offend my sensibilities. And they surely don't want the added strain of any controversy with family and friends. No sir, that KJV only fanaticism is not commodious one bit. 

     Also notice that the centurion's decision to leave was forced by the majority. The more part advised to depart thence also. Scripture warns us that the majority of end day christians would not be moral. Though shrouded in a cloud of religiousity (2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof) their prophetic profile depicts them as blinded by materialism (Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked) incapable of submission to divine authority and unwilling to acknowledge the truth (2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables). 

     The apex of the more part delusion will be manifest at the Great White Throne Judgment (Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it). Matthew 7:21-23 warns Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven; Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


     Continuing on our journey with Paul and Luke aboard the Alexandrian modern bible version ship, we learn that they were wildly tossed about with a tempest. Acts 27:18 says And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship. Christians should avoid corrupt modern bible versions and only study the KJV bible. Take heed to the warning from Ephesians 4:14: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby thy lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.

     The Alexandrian ship was lightened illustrating the numerous deletions in modern bible versions from the Textus Receptus. Codex Vaticanus deletes 2877 words from the gospels alone while Codex Sinaiticus drops 3455 words. Having limited a survey to the New Testament alone, the NIV is lighter than the KJV by 1284 words.




Notice That The Final Destination Of The Alexandrian Ships Is Rome Italy

     According to Acts 27:6 the Alexandrian ship representing the corrupt modern bible versions was sailing into Italy. All roads lead to Rome. The modern bible movement is the devils main strategy to usher in a one world church under Vatican control. Note that the Catholic Douay Rheims bible was translated from the corrupt Vaticanus manuscript in the 1500s. When the Revised version of the bible was released in 1881 that referenced Westcott and Hort's erroneous reliance on the Alexandrian Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, there was a a great rejoicing within the ranks of Roman Catholicism. 

How The Modern Bible Movement Began

     To understand how the modern bible movement began, let's compare what happened in history to the correct Textus Receptus and the incorrect Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. After the printing press was discovered to update hard copy material, Desiderius Erasmus printed the Textus Receptus into a Greek new testament in 1516. Then Robert Estienne also known as Stephanus printed four editions of the Textus Receptus from 1546-1551. Then in 1624 Elvezir printed three editions of the Textus Receptus into a Greek new testament. The King James translators in 1611 used the printed Textus Receptus from Erasmus to create our blessed infallible KJV bible. 

     Then in the 1800s two English intellectuals named Brooke Foss Westcott (a bishop of the church of England in Durham England) and Fenton John Anthony Hort (a professor at Cambridge University) decided to make their own Greek new testament based on the corrupt Sinaiticus and Vaticanus instead of the Textus Receptus. Westcott and Hort spent 18 years secretly behind closed doors from 1853-1871 making their corrupt printed Greek new testament. 

     Next in 1871 the church in England got an idea to fix the 1611 KJV bible with updates and tweaks (in other words remove the thees and thous to make the KJV more user friendly). With good intentions, the church of England scheduled a big conference meeting to update the KJV bible called the Revised Version Committee. 100 scholars including Westcott and Hort were members of the Revised Version Committee. These 100 scholars made an agreement called the iron rule of silence where they agreed to keep secret all the conversations of the committee (acting like rich intellectual gnostics who keep their wicked ideas secret from the common people in a Lodge type setting). 

     Then Westcott and Hort revealed their corrupt Greek new testament from the Sinaiticus and Vaticanus to the committee. The committee did not check Westcott and Hort's translation for accuracy or errors. The committee just accepted the corrupt translation to be a model to fix the Textus Receptus. From 1871 -1881 Westcott and Hort made 5000 major changes to the KJV bible.  Then in 1881 the first attack against the 1611 KJV bible occurred with the printing of the Revised Version Bible based on the corrupt Westcott and Hort translation. Then America released its corrupt toilet bible version called the American Standard Version in 1901. 

     Note what Reverend Thomas Preston of St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church in New York City said about the corrupt Revised Version Bible in 1881. He said the brief examination which I have been able to make of the Revised Version Bible has convinced me that the committee has labored with great sincerity and diligence and they have produced a translation much more correct than that generally received among Protestants (in other words most catholics prefer a corrupt modern translated bible instead of a blessed KJV bible praised by most Protestants). It is to us a gratification to find that in very many instances they have adopted the reading of the Catholic bible version (that was corrupt since the 1500s), and have thus by their scholarship confirmed the correctness of our bible. 

     But note the blessed words from Bishop Wordsworth who praised the KJV bible and spoke out against the corrupt Revised Version Bible of 1881. He said to pass from one to the other (speaking about the transition from the KJV to the corrupt Revised Version Bible) is as it were to alight from a well built and well hung carriage which glides easily over a macadamized (finished road compacted into a solid mass) road-and to get into one which has bad springs or none at all, and in which you are jolted over the stones of a newly mended and rarely traversed road like some of the roads in our North Lincolnshire villages. Bishop Wordsworth correctly described how Paul and Luke's Alexandrian vessel encountered some hard places noted at Acts 27:8 that says And hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called the fair havens, nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. Truly those who embrace Alexandrian bibles will always be in for a rough ride and learn the lesson stated at Proverbs 13:15 that the way of transgressors is hard. 

Hopefully We Can All Return To That Blessed KJV Old Black Book
And sing the words below for What Happened To The Old Black Book

What's wrong with the old black book my daddy used to read from 
Is it so outdated by modern translations
Revised Standard and Good News everywhere I look
Won't somebody tell me what's wrong with the old black book
 Won't somebody tell me what's wrong with the old King James

People who know not my God just can't understand
The spiritual inspired word I've got not given by some man
They've all agreed by joining hands in a world wide movement
To take that blessed old black book they've set out to improve it

Jesus said I am the shepherd my sheep follow me
As voices of the stranger speaks they shall turn and flee
The Word my daddy used to read I've learned to love so dear
But all these other words I've heard are strangers to my ear

The enemy is much too smart to jump right up and say
Forget all you have learned of God; It's not true anyway
They're making plans in years to come to take God from our minds
By giving us new bibles changed a little bit each time



Examples Why The KJV Bible Is Better Than Any Modern Version Bible

     Here's some examples why the KJV bible is better than any modern version bible. The 1984 NIV bible erroneously stated that Elhanan instead of David killed Goliath at 2 Samuel 21:19. Then in 2011 the NIV corrected this error and stated that Elhanan killed the brother of Goliath. For over 400 years the KJV has correctly taught that David killed Goliath and Elhanan killed Goliath's brother. It's nice to see that the NIV finally caught up to the 400 year old true KJV bible. The problem? With over 400 million NIV's in print, how many are still out there with the error? And worse what else is wrong with it?

     According to the NIV at Luke 2:33, Joseph instead of God is listed as the father of Jesus denying the virgin birth and that God is the Father of Jesus. The KJV correctly states at Luke 2:33 And Joseph (correctly calling Joseph the adopted father of Jesus) and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of Him. The NIV erroneously states at Luke 2:33 The child's father (notice the small letter f claiming Jesus had an earthly father Joseph and was not born of a virgin with God as his capital F Father) and mother marvelled at what was said about Him. 

     Now look at Daniel 3:25 where the KJV bible correctly states that the Son of God (Jesus) was with the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace as a pre incarnate theophany manifestation of God. The NIV bible erroneously says at Daniel 3:25 a son of the gods was with the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace denying that Jesus was the Son of God born of a virgin. 

     Next look at Mark 1:2-3 that in the KJV bible says As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. The KJV correctly says in these verses that the prophets Malachi and Isaiah made these statements at Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3. The NIV incorrectly states at Mark 1:2-3 that only the prophet Isaiah made the quoted statements. I advise anyone reading this never to read any modern incorrect bible version. It's important to only read the correct KJV bible. Take heed to the warning stated at Revelation 22:18-19 that says For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 

     The NIV incorrectly calls the devil the morning star at Isaiah 14:12. This is wrong because according to Revelation 22:16 Jesus is the bright morning star. The KJV bible correctly says at Isaiah 14:12 that the devil is only a son of the morning. 

     Next look at 1 Timothy 3:16 where the KJV bible correctly states that God (Jesus) was manifest in the flesh. The NIV bible incorrectly says that he was manifest in the flesh denying that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. And the NIV bible removes 1 John 5:7 denying that the Father, the Word (Jesus) and the Holy Ghost are one where Jesus is God. 

     Next take a look at 1 Samuel 13:1 where the KJV correctly does not state Saul's age saying Saul reigned one year. But the NIV incorrectly says Saul was 30 years old. And its amazing that the ASV (American Standard Version whose words can be found on half the commodes in America) incorrectly disagrees with the NIV saying Saul was 40 years old. And then the RSV (Revised Slandered Version) incorrectly says Saul was ...... years old leaving a blank for human conjecture. Bill Grady said that the blank between the words was and years represents the mentality of a money hungry publishing company that would induce its customers to put more faith in human conjecture than in divine preservation. 

     Next take a look at Jeremiah 10:5 where the KJV bible says They are upright as the palm tree. Also at Judges 4:5 the KJV bible uses the same Hebrew word for palm tree saying and she (Deborah) dwelt under the palm tree. Now take a look at what the crazy NIV says about these bible verses. Judges 4:5 in the NIV also says Deborah dwelt under a palm tree. But the 1984 NIV version at Jeremiah 10:5 said scarecrow in a melon patch instead of palm tree. Then in the updated 2011 NIV Jeremiah 10:5 changed the meaning of palm tree to scarecrow in a cucumber field (not a melon patch). On the headline of USA today they had a quote from one of the editors for the updated 2011 NIV version that said This time we're going to get it right. What a great improvement that a melon patch was changed to a cucumber field in Jeremiah 10:5.

     Then Bill Grady discovered that the NIV removes the last inspired word (Amen) Paul ever dictated. Try finding Amen at the end of 2 Timothy 4:22 in any modern translation. This stolen Amen just happens to be the 1666th word in 2 Timothy which is a reflection of the revisors themselves as well as the devils hatred for this Word, especially with regard to how it is employed during preaching revivals.

     Also note that only a KJV bible says to study the Word noted at 2 Timothy 2:15 that correctly says Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. All the modern version bibles remove the word study from 2 Timothy 2:15 and don't want people to study God's Word. 

     The 1611 KJV bible is the best translation of the bible because it was the 7th English translation after Jesus died on the cross. Psalm 12:6 says The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Note that the 6 prior English bible translations leading up to the 7th pure and perfect 1611 KJV bible translation are listed as follows: 1) Tyndale 2) Matthew 3) Coverdale 4) Geneva 5) Bishops and 6) Great Bible. Also 6 historical bible translations leading up to the 7th pure and perfect 1611 KJV bible translation are listed as follows: 1) Hebrew 2) Aramaic 3) Syriac in Antioch 4) Greek 5) Latin and 6) German by Luther. Therefore preach, read, and study only from a 1611 KJV bible (purified seven times) that is the 7th best, pure, and perfect translation that God has preserved from this generation for ever. According to Revelation 3:10, the Philadelphia church that existed during 1611 KEPT and preserved the perfect KJV translation from this generation forever. The scripture promises Because thou (the Philadelphia church) hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
