God's Great Invitations For Salvation

 


God's Great Invitations For Salvation

     The Lord Jesus gave many great invitations for salvation with eternal life, peace and joy in the Word of God. Jesus said at Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Jesus promised if you accept His free invitation of salvation by faith, His blood shed at the cross of Calvary will cleanse you from your sins and wash you white as snow (Revelation 1:5). Right now get saved and accept Jesus' great invitation of salvation; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Jesus gave sinners another great invitation for salvation when He said at Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Whoever reads this anywhere on earth; You have a choice to either accept or reject Jesus' great invitation for salvation. If you remain neutral and do nothing about this blessed invitation it is a rejection that ends up in hell. Jesus said at Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad. I pray in Jesus name that you accept Jesus' free invitation of salvation by faith and guarantee an eternal life of peace with Jesus in heaven.

     Salvation is not in a plan; Salvation is in a person named Jesus. John 1:12 says But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. God's great invitation for salvation is only through one door named Jesus. Jesus said at John 10:9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture. 

     Jesus was the one door in Noah's ark to be saved from the flood. Everyone had to enter Noah's ark through one door named Jesus to be saved. The snail had to crawl on the ground through the door to enter the ark; the eagle had to fly down to the door to enter the ark. And all sinners on this earth have to go through the door (Jesus) by faith to receive God's great invitation and gift of salvation. The ground is level at the foot of the cross. With Jesus there are no big I's and little you's. Good people and wicked people go through the same door Jesus to get saved; Rich people, poor people, young people, and old people go through the same door Jesus to get saved. 




More Of God's Great Invitations For Salvation

     The Lord Jesus gave several other great invitations for salvation. The Holy Spirit (that is Jesus) gave a great invitation for salvation at Revelation 22:17 that 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. In other words, come as you are to Jesus (whosoever will) with your past sins and Jesus will receive you, save you, and remove all your sins past, present, and future. 

     Don't refuse to get saved with Jesus saying you have too much sin in your life that can not be overlooked and forgiven. Remember 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. Notice that Revelation 1:5 does not say Unto Him that (first) washed us from our sins in His own blood and then loved us. Hallelujah, Revelation 1:5 says Unto Him that (first) loved us (as we were in our filthy sins) and then washed us from our sins in His own blood. 

     Another great invitation for salvation from Jesus occurred at Revelation 3:20 where Jesus said Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Just open the door for Jesus by faith and get saved no matter how you feel. Salvation is by faith in the true facts of God's Word and does not depend on your feelings.


To everyone that says I can't get saved until I feel that I'm saved
You don't feel salvation before you accept Jesus' invitation for salvation
You only feel salvation after you accept Jesus' invitation for salvation by faith

God's Order For Salvation Pictured Above Is Fact Faith Feeling
 It's Not Feeling Faith Fact That Most People Want For Salvation



Be Like Zacchaeus And Quickly Receive God's Great Invitation For Salvation
Don't Be Like Esau And Reject God's Great Invitation For Salvation

       Be like Zacchaeus and quickly receive God's great invitation for salvation. Luke 19:5 tells us And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him (in a sycomore tree), and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. This is the only place in the bible where a sinner was looking down at God and God (Jesus) was looking up at a sinner.

Jesus Said Zacchaeus Come On Down
Before The Price Is Right Was Ever Heard Of

     Be like Zacchaeus and come down humbly from your pride while you make haste (come quickly) to Jesus and receive God's great invitation for salvation. Even though Jesus is high and lofty, Jesus will receive humble and contrite sinners that come to Him by faith. Isaiah 57:15 says For thus saith the high and lofty one that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy. I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.  

     Don't be like Esau and reject God's great invitation for salvation. You can delay getting saved and miss any future opportunity for salvation. Esau found no place of repentance (that is required for salvation according to 2 Corinthians 7:10) and could not find salvation though he sought it carefully with tears. Esau traded his birthright and salvation for his selfish need of hunger and a bowl of pottage (soup) and ended up in hell. 

     Hebrews 12:16 speaks about Esau saying Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, thou he sought it carefully with tears. Don't be like Esau and delay getting saved risking eternity in hell with no future chance of salvation. Instead, get saved right now today. Jesus told us at 2 Corinthians 6:2 I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee; behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.




Don't Be Like George Wilson And Refuse An Invitation For Salvation
Prisoner George Wilson Refused A Pardon From President Andrew Jackson
Choosing To Stay In Prison Instead Of Being A Free Citizen

To View The Story About How Prisoner George Wilson Refused A Pardon

     In 1829. George Wilson was sentenced to be hanged to death for murder. Before Mr. Wilson's hanging, influential friends pleaded for mercy to President Andrew Jackson on behalf of George Wilson. Subsequently, President Jackson issued a formal pardon dropping all charges. But when the pardon was presented to George Wilson by a warden for his freedom, George Wilson refused to accept the pardon, choosing to stay in prison ten more years instead of being a free citizen. This was the first time ever on record that a prisoner had refused a pardon. 

      This issue about how to handle a refusal of a pardon went before the United States Supreme Court for a ruling. Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that a pardon is an act of grace, proceeding from the power entrusted with the execution of the laws. But delivery is not completed without acceptance; It may then be rejected by the person to whom it is tendered and we have no power in Court to force it on him. In other words, a pardon is no good unless it is accepted by the one it is offered to.

     History tells us that while George Wilson refused the pardon, he avoided being hung. A report in the National Gazette of Philadelphia dated January 14, 1841 suggests that George Wilson was in prison for ten years until released. He received another pardon from President Martin Van Buren that he accepted. 

     Don't be like George Wilson and refuse Jesus' pardon that sets you free from the prison of sin. Isaiah spoke Jesus' pardon at Isaiah 55:7 that says Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Unlike George Wilson, accept Jesus' free pardon that not only pardons you (but abundantly pardons you with eternal peace and joy) and sets you free from sin, hell, and the lake of fire. Jesus promised us at John 10:10 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. And Paul encouraged us at Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him (Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. 

     Like George Wilson who refused a pardon, we are all sinners without Jesus before salvation, enslaved in the devil's prison. Jesus told us at John 8:34 Verily, verily I say unto you, whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. But Jesus died on the cross at Calvary and gave sinners a free pardon and invitation for salvation. Today Jesus is offering you His free pardon to set you free from your sins with eternal life. All you have to do to receive this pardon is accept the pardon by faith for salvation. If you reject Jesus' free pardon, you will end up in hell.

     Getting saved is as easy as ABC. A-Admit that you are a sinner. B- Believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. C-Confess that Jesus is God. Jesus Himself spoke His pardon to sinners at John 3:18 that says He that believeth on Him (Jesus) is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 

     King Solomon also stated Jesus' pardon at Proverbs 3:5 that says Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes, fear the Lord, and depart from evil; It shall be health to thy navel and marrow to thy bones. Finally Paul stated Jesus' pardon at Romans 10:9 that says That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will (unlike George Wilson) accept Jesus' free pardon, get saved, and be set free from sin, death, and hell.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blessed multitudes all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength.

The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus

 

The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus
Inspired After Reading Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
The Unsearchable Riches Of Christ At The Link Below

     Like Paul I'm going to preach about the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ. Paul said at Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. I'm not preaching about myself; I'm preaching about Jesus and His unsearchable riches. Everything you need is with Jesus; Keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people. Colossians 1:27 tells us that if you have Jesus, you have great riches and everything you need to succeed in life. 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. 

     Right now choose Jesus and his unsearchable riches of eternal life, peace, and joy. Get saved; repent and decide to stop sinning; confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. Then you can proclaim Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. And if you daily deny sin and live for Jesus you can ask for anything in Jesus name and it will be done. Jesus said at John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you.




Three Examples Of How To Find The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus
Stated By Thomas Brooks And John Henry Jowett (1864-1923)

     First Thomas Brooks said finding the unsearchable riches of Jesus is like a miner searching for gold. The miner pictured above searching for gold will discover that with Jesus there is gold stretching out everywhere overwhelming him with everlasting joy. In heaven with Jesus, the gold with Jesus is better than infinite amounts of gold on this fading earth. In heaven with Jesus, saints won't just own gold; they'll be walking on gold stated at Revelation 21:21 (on a street of pure gold transparent glass living forever in a city of pure gold clear glass jasper stated at Revelation 21:18). 

     The foundations of the wall of the beautiful heavenly city displaying the 12 names of the apostles (Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthias, James of Alphaeus, Simon the Canaanite, Thomas, Matthew, and Lebbaeus whose surname was Thaddaeus) will be garnished with precious gemstones (sardius, sardonyx, jasper, diamond, chrysolyte, topaz, beryl, carbuncle, chrysoprasus, emerald, chalcedony, sapphire, agate, jacinth, ligure, and amethyst) forming a beautiful rainbow that encircles the heavenly city. Finally there will be 12 gates with a pearl and angel in each gate displaying the names of the 12 tribes listed at Revelation 7:5-8 (Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Levi, Manasseh, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Zebulun, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin; note that Dan and Ephraim were removed from the 12 tribes for worshipping idols).

     Next John Henry Jowett described the unsearchable riches of Jesus like beautiful heather flowers growing on a moor field in Scotland pictured above. Mr. Jowett said that finding the unsearchable riches of Jesus is like a little child gathering heather flowers at the edge of a moor field who lifts up her eyes and catches sight of the purple glory of a boundless moor with infinite heather. 

     Finally Thomas Brooks said finding the unsearchable riches of Jesus is like a man walking around the edge of a beautiful lake who when the circuit was almost completed discovers that it was not just a lake but the arm of a vast ocean leading to an immeasurable pure river of water of life in heaven. John described the pure river in heaven at Revelation 22:1 And He shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal; proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Someone once said that the foam on an ocean beach is what little we now understand about Jesus; But the vast water of all the oceans on earth beyond our sight displays the unsearchable riches of Jesus.

     Remember with Jesus you will not get bored. The wisdom and riches with Jesus are unsearchable with new blessings always to discover forever and ever. Ephesians 3:20 promises Now unto Him (Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Friends when you have Jesus with His unsearchable riches you have everything you need. Philippians 4:19 promises But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.   And Ephesians 1:7 proclaims about Jesus, In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.  

     When I get to heaven, Brother Bob wants to be a librarian for Jesus. This is because 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. Friends you won't get bored in heaven when you read the infinite books about Jesus and his miracles. The KJV bible is just a microscopic account about Jesus; but there are many other infinite records of Jesus' miracles and blessings recorded in heaven's books for saints to discover. What a joy to be Jesus' librarian and read and tell saints in heaven about the miracles recorded in the infinite books about our Lord Jesus. 




The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus Are Better Than Anything On This Earth
Be Like The Wise Merchant Who Left Everything To Gain Jesus' Riches
Choose The Gleanings Of Jesus' Riches 
Instead Of The Fading Vintage Of The World

     Be like the wise merchant who sold everything to buy Jesus (the pearl of great price) by faith without money and without price. The parable of the wise merchant is stated at Matthew 13:45 that 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 (Jesus) went and sold all that he had, and bought it (by faith without money and without price). Like this wise merchant man choose to accept by faith Jesus' free offer of unsearchable riches that are better than anything on this earth. 

     Jesus is telling everyone at Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Be like Brother Bob who left the fading riches on this earth of millions of dollars from his Jewish relatives and chose the unsearchable riches of Jesus, rejoicing that preachbrotherbob blog has reached half a million people everywhere with untold numbers of people getting saved for our Lord Jesus.

     Thomas Brooks further described the unsearchable riches of Jesus when he said one tiny grain of Jesus' grace is far beyond all the gold and billions of dollars on this earth. To elaborate about this saying Thomas Brooks quoted Gideon who said at Judges 8:2 Is not the gleaning (leftover small portion) of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage (best and finest wines) of Abiezer? In other words the gleanings and smallest gatherings of the unsearchable riches of Jesus are more ravishing and excellent than all the best riches of this fading world. I agree with Psalm 84:10 that says For a day in thy courts (Lord Jesus) is better than a thousand; I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 


Quotes From Thomas Brooks Describing The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus

1) God Is A Sphere Whose Center is Everywhere 
And Whose Circumference Is Nowhere

     Wow what a quote from Thomas Brooks about the unsearchable riches of Jesus; "God is a sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere." King Solomon described this blessed quote at 1 Kings 8:27 that says But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded. Jeremiah described this blessed quote at Jeremiah 23:24 that quotes God saying Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

2) The Lord Jesus Is Neither Shut Up In Any Place Or Shut Out Of Any Place

     Another amazing quote about the unsearchable riches of Jesus stated by Thomas Brooks was "The Lord Jesus is neither shut up in any place or shut out of any place." King David described this blessed quote at Psalm 139:7 that says Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.   



The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus 
Are Better Than The Fading Riches Of This World

     The unsearchable riches of Jesus are better than the fading riches of this world. King Solomon explained how Jesus who is wisdom is better than anything in this world at Proverbs 3:13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom (that is Jesus at 1 Corinthians 1:30) and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver and the gain thereof than fine gold; She is more precious than rubies and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 

     King Cyrus wrote about a man named Pheraulus who valued the unsearchable riches of Jesus greater than the wealth of Cyrus. The story about Pheraulus can be found in the greek historian Xenophon's book called the Cyropaedia that records the moral sayings of Cyrus the Great. Pheraulus was a poor man that received much gold and wealth from Cyrus. Being wearied out with care in keeping the riches, Pheraulus desired rather to live quietly though poor as he had done before than to possess abundant riches with misery. Pheraulus gave away all his wealth to fatherless orphans and widows in their affliction realizing that when he blessed the poor he obtained treasure that lasts forever in heaven with Jesus (Mark 10:21). Like Pheraulus remember 1 Timothy 6:6 that 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. 



The Unsearchable Riches Of Jesus
Satisfy And Give A Permanent Durable Blessing Forever

     Like Philip say John 14:8 Lord, shew us the Father (with Jesus' unsearchable riches) and it sufficeth (satisfies) us. In other words, only faith in Jesus and His unsearchable riches satisfies; earthly riches don't satisfy proven by Ecclesiastes 5:10 that says He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase; this is also vanity. 

     Earthly riches are uncertain and don't last. Paul explained this at 1 Timothy 6:17 that says Charge them that are rich in this world that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy. On the other hand the unsearchable riches of Jesus are durable, permanent, and last forever. King Solomon explained this at Proverbs 8:18 that says Riches and honour are with me (wisdom and Jesus); yea durable (permanent) riches and righteousness. 



And Sing The Words Below For Fanny Crosby's Blessed Hymn
The Unsearchable Riches Of Christ

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Wealth that can never be told
Riches exhaustless of mercy and grace; Precious more precious than gold 

Precious more precious; Wealth that can never be told
O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Precious more precious than gold

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Who shall their greatness declare
Jewels whose luster our lives may adorn; Pearls that the poorest may wear

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Freely how freely they flow
Making the souls of the faithful and true; Happy wherever they go

O the unsearchable riches of Christ; Who would not gladly endure
Trials, afflictions, and crosses on earth; Riches like these to secure

And Sing The Words Below For James Deck's Blessed Hymn From 1842
O Lamb Of God, Still Keep Me

O Lamb of God, still keep me; Near to thy wounded side
Tis only there in safety; And peace I can abide

What foes and snares surround me; What lusts and fears within
The grace that sought and found me; Alone can keep me clean

Tis only in thee hiding; I feel my life secure
Only in thee abiding; The conflict can endure

Thine arm the victory gaineth; Oer every hateful foe
Thy love my heart sustaineth; In all its care and woe

Soon shall my eyes behold thee; With rapture face to face
One half hath not been told me; Of all thy power and grace

Thy beauty Lord and glory; The wonders of thy love
Shall be the endless story; Of all the saints above

Jesus Can Do The Impossible

 


Jesus Can Do The Impossible
1) Jesus Sets Boundaries For Oceans And Waters At His Command
Inspired After Reading George Swinnock (1620-1673)
The Incomparibleness Of God At The Link Below

     Jesus sets boundaries for oceans and waters at His command. George Swinnock said "Some earthly princes heated with passion and drunk with pride have cast shackles into the sea, threatening it with bondage if it did not obey them. Xerxes commanded so many strokes to be given the sea as a punishment of its rebellion against his will; but such actions are the highest folly and madness. Many have had great command at sea, but none ever had the command of the sea like the Lord Jesus. As tempestuous and outrageous as it is, it is Jesus' quiet prisoner and stirs not without His leave nor otherwise than He lengthens its chain."

     The Lord Jesus proved that He is God with command over the seas and the waves when he calmed the raging sea's storm on a ship with His disciples. Mark 4:39 says And He (Jesus) arose and said unto the sea, Peace be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

The Lord Jesus Can Do The Impossible And Control The Wind And The Sea
Raging waves lay down like sleeping dogs at Jesus' feet
Winds howling like maniacs begin to whisper softly like babes in sleep at Jesus' voice

     Job explained how the Lord Jesus set boundaries for oceans and waters at His command. The Lord Jesus said at Job 38:8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it. (Swaddlingbands are linen cloths wrapped around new born infants to restrict, control, and calm the babies. Jesus made the thick darkness a swaddlingband to restrict, control, and calm the raging seas). The reason thick darkness is a swaddlingband for the raging sea is because soon in the kingdom of God no darkness and raging sea will exist around the light of Jesus that is seven times brighter than the sun. The raging sea will disappear into the thick darkness according to Revelation 21:1 that says And I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. No more sea with its storms, scares from sharks, or sin that separates us from God. According to Revelation 22:1 only a peaceful pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, will proceed out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 

     Job 38:10 goes on to say And brake up for it (the raging sea) my decreed place, and set bars and doors. And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? It's amazing how raging ocean waves stop at beaches all around this earth and go no further at Jesus' command. Jesus promised after Noah's flood by the rainbow that He would never flood the earth again. This is proven by Job 26:7 that says He stretcheth the north over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing; He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds and the cloud is not rent under them. How incredible that thick clouds can hold vast amounts of water and only allow drops to fall to the earth without breaking and releasing floods of water.  

     George Swinnock said "It may be proved that the sea is higher than the earth and why then doth it not overflow it and drown its inhabitants? Surely no reason can be given but the command our great God Jesus has over the seas." The Lord Jesus' command over the waters on this earth is stated at Psalm 104:6 that says The waters stood above the mountains (Note that there are fossils on top of the highest mountain Everest of fish proving that the flood of Noah's time placed the waters above the mountains). At thy rebuke (Lord Jesus) they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 



     We see the greatness and power of our Lord Jesus who can measure all the vast oceans on this earth in the hollow of His hand. Isaiah 40:12 says Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance. Yet Jesus shows mercy to saved saints and protects them from the raging seas and storms of life. Jesus promised us at Isaiah 43:2-3 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Like Paul at Romans 8:31. Brother Bob says What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 

     And note the incredible power and majesty of our Lord Jesus stated at Proverbs 30:4 that 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? (Jesus) and what is His Son's name (Jesus) if thou canst tell? Yet through all this power, the Lord Jesus humbled Himself and came to earth to die on a cross to save sinners like you and me and give them eternal life with peace forever. Right now get saved and experience peace and joy forever; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.



Jesus Can Do The Impossible
2) Even Though Jesus Is All Powerful According To Psalm 104:1-3
He Constantly Visits And Preserves Saved Saints From Harm

     Note the supreme power and majesty of our Lord Jesus stated at Psalm 104:1-3 that 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. Even with all this power and glory, our Lord Jesus constantly protects and preserves saved saints proven by Psalm 36:6-7 that says Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep; O Lord, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

     Job told us that the Lord Jesus constantly visits and preserves saved saints from harm. Job 10:12 says Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. 2 Timothy 4:18 promises 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. George Swinnock said "God is not like men; Earthly carpenters and masons build houses and then leave them to the care and charge of others. But God keeps up, preserves, and blesses what He sets up and creates. Not food, or air, or sleep, but only our Lord Jesus preserves man and beast and not only men and beasts, but all things are preserved by our Lord Jesus proven by Colossians 1:16-17 that says All things were created by Him, and for Him, and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist."



Jesus Can Do The Impossible
3) With Jesus Saved Saints Are Not Harmed By Fire

     With Jesus saved saints are not harmed by fire. Isaiah 43:2 promises when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. After Nebuchadnezzar put the three hebrew boys into the fiery furnace, the hebrew boys were not harmed by the fire. Nebuchadnezzar said at Daniel 3:25 Lo I see four men loose walking in the midst of the fire and they have no hurt and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God (Jesus). (Note that the corrupt translated bibles incorrectly say that Jesus is just a son of the gods; Nope, Jesus is the Son of God with God as His Father). Daniel 3:27 goes on to say And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

     Now if the three hebrew boys were not harmed by fire, when the Lord Jesus destroys the present heavens and earth by fire, all the saved saints will not be harmed by fire. 2 Peter 3:12 describes how God will destroy the present heavens and earth by fire saying Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Right now rejoice and say Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him (Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. 



Jesus Can Do The Impossible
4) Jesus Always Delivers Saved Saints From Threatening Enemies

     Jesus always delivers saved saints from threatening enemies. 2 Kings 19 tells us how Sennacherib sent threatening letters to Hezekiah telling him that he would kill and destroy Hezekiah and all the people of his land. Hezekiah spread these letters in prayer before God and asked the Lord Jesus to deliver him with his people from evil Sennacherib. God answered Hezekiah's prayers by pronouncing judgment against Sennacherib at Isaiah 37:29 that says Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou comest. That night just one angel sent by God killed 185000 soldiers in Sennacherib's army; And Sennacherib fled from Hezekiah and was killed by his own sons. Proverbs 28:1 promises The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion. 

     George Swinnock described Sennacherib as a man that was extremely stubborn who was resolved and fixed by his own will to destroy Hezekiah; But the Lord Jesus stopped Sennacherib who was an untameable beast that had conquered many countries and kingdoms while trampling down many idols and false gods. 

     Remember like Hezekiah, Jesus is able to stop your worst enemy from harming you. Right now rejoice and say Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord God! behold thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee. Rejoice and say Isaiah 35:3-4 Strengthen ye the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; He will come and save you. 

     Remember the Lord Jesus has power over any wicked king on this earth. Proverbs 21:1 says The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water; He turneth it whithersoever He will. And Proverbs 16:9 says A man's heart deviseth his way; but the Lord directeth his steps. Finally rejoice and say Job 5:9 (The Lord Jesus) which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number (infinite where there is no number).

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

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

Jesus Can Do Anything

 


Jesus Can Do Anything
1) Jesus Can Create Something Out Of Nothing
Inspired After Reading George Swinnock (1627-1673)
The Incomparibleness Of God At The Link Below

     Jesus can create something out of nothing. Job 26:7 says He (The Lord Jesus) stretcheth out the north over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in the thick clouds and the cloud is not rent under them. Take time to ponder this amazing quote from George Swinnock and praise Jesus. "The air that surrounds the earth and ocean cannot hold up a feather, yet in the air hangs the massive earth and seas weighing tons of pounds where Jesus' power is the only pillar that supports and bears up this earth with its seas." 

     Nothing is holding up this earth except the power of God's spoken Word Jesus. Jesus can create something out of nothing with just His Word. Remember with man things are impossible; But with God all things are possible. Jesus told us at Mark 10:27 With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible. If you are facing an impossible situation, trust Jesus to fix your problems by faith because with God all things are possible. Jesus is able to bless anyone and do the impossible. When man says no, God can say yes and fix anything.

     Next consider Isaiah 40:12 that says Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand and meted (measured) out heaven with the span (the distance from the thumb to the little finger on an outstretched hand) and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance. Wow the Lord Jesus is so big that he can measure the entire universe with just the distance from His thumb to his little finger on His outstretched hand. Every person on this earth is just a little tiny dot compared to our huge powerful Lord Jesus. 

     The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 66:1 The heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool. But even though Jesus is so much greater than man, Jesus shows mercy and extends love to humble and contrite people offering free salvation and blessings to those who receive His free gift. Isaiah 57:15 says For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Isaiah 42:3 explains God's mercy saying A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench; He shall bring forth judgment unto truth. Right now accept Jesus' free gift of salvation; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 



Jesus Can Do Anything
2) Jesus Can Make The Sun Stand Still And Controls Time
Jesus Tells The Number And Names Of The Stars With Infinite Understanding

     Jesus is so powerful that He can control time and make the sun stand still, go back in time, and go forward in time. Joshua whose name also is Jesus said at Joshua 10:12 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. Wow God can make time stand still and has power over everything. Job prophesied that Joshua could make the sun stand still at Job 9:7 that says (God) which commandeth the sun and it riseth not and sealeth up the stars.

     George Swinnock spoke about how Joshua had the sun stand still saying "It is natural for the sun to move and run strongly and swiftly with the milky way galaxy at a speed of 43000 mph northward. But the Lord Jesus through Joshua made the sun stand still where it couldn't creep at a snail's pace." In fact astronomers have discovered that a day was lost in history proving that the bible is correct and that Joshua had time and the sun stand still for an entire day. 

    You see Jesus inhabiteth eternity according to Isaiah 57:15 and is not limited by time. 2 Peter 3:8 tells us But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Psalm 90:4 says For a thousand years in thy sight (Lord Jesus) are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 

     Now notice that 2 Corinthians 5:8 says that when someone is absent from the body, they are present with the Lord in eternity not limited by time. When anyone is in their body on the earth they are limited by time and dispensations. But after a saved person leaves their body they are with Jesus in eternity and not limited by time. Like Jesus, they can go back or forward in time and even have time stand still with Jesus. In other words when a saint leaves their body on this earth they can go forward into eternity millions of years to the blessed kingdom of God with glorified bodies past the rapture and millenial dispensations. 

     It's amazing to me that according to Revelation 20:11 during the Great White Throne judgment after Jesus burns up the present heavens and earth with fire, the Great White Throne judgment will occur in eternity with no heavens and earth. The unbelievers will be judged by Jesus and cast into the lake of fire while standing on nothing but space in eternity. Only after the Great White Throne judgment at Revelation 21:1 will God create a new heaven and a new earth that holds the holy city the new Jerusalem where all the saved saints will live forever in peace. And Isaiah 66:22 tells us that saved saints won't just live in one heaven forever (but in many heavens forever); For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. You won't get bored in eternity with Jesus while you explore the infinite beautiful heavens that our Lord Jesus has created for our peace and joy.

     Jesus is so powerful that He allowed Hezekiah to go back in time and relive 15 years when the dial of Ahaz went backward (not down and forward) ten degrees (2 Kings 20:9-11). Jesus is so powerful that He allowed Moses to go forward in time thousands of years from his burial place after death to an appearance with the Lord Jesus and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-4). The Lord Jesus' name (I AM THAT I AM) stated at Exodus 3:14 is not limited by time and always exists in eternity. Praise Jesus who has power over time and dwells in eternity with His saved saints who also are not limited by time after they leave their earthly bodies. 

     Finally, the Lord Jesus can tell the exact number of the billions of stars and also know the names of every one of the billions of stars. Praise Jesus while you say Psalm 147:4 He (Jesus) telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power; His understanding is infinite. Rejoice and say Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!



Jesus Can Do Anything
3) Jesus Can Make The Wind Blow Or Make The Wind Cease

     Jesus has the power to make the wind blow or make the wind cease. George Swinnock said "Even when men can't control or stop stormy winds that rush forth with an irresistable force, Jesus has power over the wind to make it cease or blow again." Jesus made the wind cease during a storm on a boat with his disciples. Matthew 8:26 says And He (Jesus) saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. And the Lord Jesus can also make the wind blow stated at Psalm 147:18 that says He (Jesus) causeth His wind to blow and the waters flow.

     Note the incredible power of the Lord Jesus while you say Proverbs 30:4 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 cast tell? George Swinnock said "Proverbs 30:4 tells us that the Lord Jesus hath gathered the wind in His fists; In other words Jesus can hold the wind fast in His fists or let the wind loose by just opening His fists." Wow what a powerful God the Lord Jesus is who can stop a tornado or cyclone by just gathering the wind in his fists. 

     The Lord Jesus made the wind blow with the blast of His nostrils when he parted the Red Sea; Then the Lord Jesus blew upon the Egyptians and their chariots in the Red Sea and drowned Pharoah, his army, and his chariots. Exodus 15:8 says And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. Thou didst blow with the wind, the sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters. Who is like unto thee, O Lord among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Today Egyptian chariots with their wheels were discovered at the bottom of the Red Sea proving that the bible is true and that God did blow upon and drown the Egyptians in the Red Sea). Click this youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzb4ekyX1kc and watch evidence that Egyptian chariot wheels covered by coral exist at the bottom of the Red Sea.
