I encourage everyone reading this bible study to do a google search for RA Torrey and read anything written by RA Torrey whose inspiration allowed Brother Bob to write today's bible study. RA Torrey was a great preacher from the 1800s and Hallelujah my good friend David Berkowitz, the former Son of Sam, recommended RA Torrey to read. Please everywhere pray for my good friend David Berkowitz who is in prison for life that Jesus will grant him peace to continue to write for Jesus and win untold numbers to Jesus. Remember when we remember those in prison who love Jesus we remember Jesus (Matthew 25:37-40).
Now left click the above painting and take a close look at what occurred when Jesus met the woman at the well while the disciples in the background were concerned that Jesus should eat meat and not minister to the Samaritan woman. The lesson Brother Bob wants you to receive from this study is to walk like Jesus and even if you might feel tired, hungry, or thirsty, deny yourself and minister and win souls to Jesus. Proverbs 11:30 says The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Since Jesus is wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30), when we continue to preach Jesus everywhere, people receive wisdom (Jesus) and peace.
OK, I want to write out what RA Torrey stated about the story of Jesus and the woman at the well. Take time to think while you read this and ask Jesus to help you deny yourself and your worries about bills, food, and finances and make Jesus priority in your life. I pray for all saints reading this that in Jesus name we all will care for others needs and deny ourselves daily to win souls to Jesus.
RA Torrey said in 1892 Even though Jesus was tired, hungry, and thirsty, so tired that when his disciples went into the neighboring village to buy food for Jesus, Jesus was unable to go along, but rested wearily upon the well at Sychar. When He rested there He looked up the road and saw a prostitute who had five husbands while living with a sixth man coming toward Him. In His joy in an opportunity of doing the Father's will, He entirely forgot His weariness and hunger, and step by step led her to the place where she got saved and realized that Jesus is God. At that moment, his disciples again appeared and wondered that He was talking with a Samaritan prostitute, and then urged Him to eat of the meat which they had brought from the village.
Now note that Jesus' joy in saving the prostitute was more important than eating a meal. Jesus' meat or delight was to do the Father's will and save the lost prostitute. We should all like Jesus deny ourselves and win lost souls to Jesus. Saint reading this it is time for us all to deny ourselves and go out and win souls everywhere to Jesus because in these end times Brother Bob sees a great harvest of souls coming to Jesus in many nations. John 4:35 says Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. It's a joy to me to know that every week places like Hong Kong, South Korea, South Africa, Russia, Nigeria, Oman, and Brazil read the Word of God from God's little Jew Brother Bob out of poor little apartment in Ohio and souls are getting saved with Jesus because of preachbrotherbob blog.
The story about the above picture is at John 4:7 and says There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat. Then Jesus ministers to the woman and wins the prostitute to Jesus and Hallelujah this prostitute was used by God to bring all the men she slept with to Jesus. This little woman led many sinful men to Jesus. Jesus said at Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
This woman at the well was like Rahab the harlot who feared God and saved many people from death at Jericho. Note that the bible usually calls Rahab a harlot, but Rachab (Jesus' grandmother) listed at Matthew 1:5 is no longer called a harlot. Whenever anyone is named with Jesus like the woman at the well and Rahab, their sin is removed and not mentioned. Romans 4:8 says Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute (take account of and remember) sin. Jesus can use you like this prostitute and Rahab no matter how bad your past is.
Now John 4:27 says And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that He talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or Why talkest thou with her? The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city, and came unto Him. In the mean while His disciples prayed Him, saying, Master, eat. Saint reading this learn from this parable. Don't be so worried about eating and doing daily chores like Martha in the bible and neglect Jesus and winning souls (Luke 10:38-42). The disciples even went so far to say to Jesus is the food spoiled or ought as the reason you will not eat. John 4:33 says Therefore, said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought Him ought to eat?
Jesus said at John 4:34 his meat was to bless the prostitute and win the prostitute to Jesus and deny Himself. John 4:34 says Jesus saith unto them, My meat (delight) is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work. Instead of eating a meal for strength, the joy of seeing the prostitute at the well saved to Jesus was priority over a common meal of meat. Saint reading this in any nation, let's all walk like Jesus and choose winning souls to Jesus instead of our earthly needs.
Now everyone I want you all to study the above picture of Jesus and notice Jesus has no pillow to lay his head on or home to go to for shelter. Lord Jesus we thank you today that you always blessed others and had no where to lay your head. Let us all be like the Lord Jesus and care for others needs more than our own. Matthew 8:20 says And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head. Even the animals like foxes have holes and birds live in nests for shelter but Jesus loved everyone so much Jesus had no shelter or place to lay His head.
Now think about this revelation given personally to Brother Bob from Jesus. Jesus was always blessing people that His pillow was the ground and Jesus just loved people 24/7. Song of Solomon 5:2 proves that the ground was the pillow for Jesus. Song of Solomon 5:2 says I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. Wow, Jesus the beloved slept on the ground for a pillow because his head was filled with dew and the locks of Jesus' hair were wet with the drops of the night. Thank you Lord Jesus for loving people so much and for dying on the cross for us all. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich. Luke 19:10 says For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
RA Torrey wrote in 1893 even though Jesus is God, Jesus chose the cow stable for His birthplace, the poor carpenter shop for His school, the contempt and rejection of men for His reward, the agony of Gethsemane and the shame of the cross to deliver vile, worthless, and outcast sinners like you and I. Thank you Lord Jesus for your eternal love to us all in the many nations.
Finally, to end up today's bible study write down the following scriptures that prove that Jesus is God. I dedicate this part of my bible study to my good friend Wes Strawser who truly revealed to me the importance of confessing that Jesus is God. Remember according to Romans 10:9 for a person to be saved they must confess that Jesus is God and believe in their heart the gospel that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again. I pray in Jesus name any Jehovah Witness, Muslim, or Jew who forevermore reads this will believe that Jesus is God and not just a man, great teacher, angel, Son of God, or just a prophet.
Why don't we start at the very beginning of the bible. Genesis 1:1 says In the beginning God (defined in Hebrew to be "plural intensive singular" where the Father, Son, (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost are plural and yet singular) created the heaven and the earth. Notice that Genesis 1:26 says And God said, Let us (Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit where Jesus is God) make man in OUR (not my) image, after OUR likeness. 1 John 5:7 says For there are three that bear record in heaven, The Father, The Word, (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one. Now our bibles say Jesus the Word is one with the Father and is God. Please saint reading this believe the bible and not a mortal man that says Jesus is not God. Jesus is God. Jesus said at John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Jesus also said at Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty (note that the Greek definition for Almighty is God). Jesus Himself proclaimed that He is Almighty God.
Thomas called Jesus God. John 20:28 says And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God. Peter called Jesus God at Acts 10:36 saying The Word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (He is Lord of all). Colossians 2:8 says Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of man, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Romans 9:5 says Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. Now I request all reading this to go into blueletterbible website and type in the word firstbegotten and you will find it means of Christ or Jesus. Now look at Hebrews 1:6 and Hallelujah the angels worship the Lord Jesus who is God. Hebrews 1:6 says And again, when He bringeth in the firstbegotten (called Christ or Jesus) into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him. Right now let's all be like the angels and wave your hands at Jesus and worship the Lord Jesus. Remember a good son would always honour his father. Let's all be good children and honour the Lord Jesus who is God. It is an outright insult to say Jesus is just a great person, prophet, teacher, and is not God.
Philippians 2:10 says That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. And the old testament confirmed Philippians 2:10 at Isaiah 45:22 that says Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Jesus said at John 14:9 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? And Jesus Himself proclaimed that He is the I AM and God when He said at John 8:58 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
John 5:23 says That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father which hath sent Him. Jesus showed Brother Bob that the devil tells people that Jesus is not God to stop people from being saved because a person can only be saved by confessing that Jesus is God. This is why the bible says that it is a mystery of godliness to say Jesus is God. We can't understand with our minds the mystery how a baby named Jesus is God; To be saved we must believe by faith with our hearts the mystery that Jesus is God. Hebrews 11:6 says But without faith it is impossible to please Him (Jesus): for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. 1 Timothy 3:16 says And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. This is talking about Jesus. Make sure you read a KJV bible that correctly says God (Jesus) not he was manifest in the flesh. If your bible does not say God was manifest in the flesh throw it in the trash and get a KJV bible.
Now to any saint in any nation anywhere I pray in Jesus name that you will read closely the next bible verse that is the test to know a true spirit of God and not be deceived by a false spirit. 1 John 4:1 says Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ (called Messiah Emmanuel God With Us) is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not the Jesus Christ (called Messiah Emmanuel God With Us) is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
You see anyone that tells you Jesus is God come in the flesh is a true spirit. The Jehovah Witness, Muslim, or Jew that says Jesus is not God come in the flesh is not of God and is the spirit of antichrist. Please saints everywhere follow ministers that confess that Jesus is God and ignore any writings that deny the deity of Jesus. But please show the love of Jesus and pray daily for people that say Jesus is not God. Over the years Brother Bob has won several Jehovah Witnesses, Muslims, and Jews to Jesus and now these people believe Jesus is God and are truly saved.
Mark 14:61 says But He held His peace, and answered nothing. Again, the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art thou the Christ (called Messiah Emmanuel or God With Us), the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said I AM: and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Jesus Himself proclaimed Himself to be God before the high priest by stating that He is God and would come in the clouds. The old testament at Psalm 104 proves that only God or Jesus could come in the clouds in His chariot and walk upon the wings of the wind. Psalm 104:1 says Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds His chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind.
Hebrews 1:3 says Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High. Jesus is the express image of the Father and is God. Philippians 2:6 says Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with 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. You see the prophet Isaiah proclaimed that the Son of God (Jesus) is the Mighty God and the Everlasting Father.
