Part 9 of: The god of this world has blinded their eyes

As we of the leadership team of Grace Message Church Ministries come unto you on this day of preparation, we first give all honor and glory unto the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Before getting into today’s food for thought, we must share this with you; yesterday we were asked, why we keep speaking of the Sabbath day of worship; and some said that, that’s Old Testament and we are not under that kind of worship any longer; when in fact Yhowshua in whom all Christians know as Jesus; they claim that He’s their example to follow and no one else. So let’s take a look at what Yhowshua did on the Sabbath in the New Testament; if we would turn our very own Bibles to verses 9-10 of the 12th chapter of the book of Matthew when Yhowshua entered the synagogue and healed a man. After Yhowshua called James and John, the sons of Zebedee into the ministry as disciples, in verses 20-21 of the 1st chapter of the book of Mark; on arrival into Capernaum, they immediately on the Sabbath day entered into the synagogue “in which the Strong’s Concordance defines as a Christian church, a congregation and an assembly in which they meet to worship God” that’s when Yhowshua being the true Word of God began to teach. Get this revelation, in the 22nd verse of that same 1st chapter of the book of Mark it reveals that the congregation were astonished at Yhowshua’s doctrine and we all know that Yhowshua is the true Word of God, so Yhowshua would not be doing anything against the Word of God, or He would have ceased to exist: for Yhowshua taught them as one that had authority and not as the Scribes. Yes, even the scribes, which were a religious system that works against the Word of God, they were even in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Here’s a strange thing, there in that same synagogue being on that same Sabbath day, even the evil spirit in a man was in the synagogue on the Sabbath day, that was said to show that even the evil spirits respect the Word of God more than them that rebelled against the command of keeping God’s Sabbath, so ask yourselves who is more righteous you or that evil spirit which was in the man who at least kept the right day. Yhowshua taught in the 27th verse of the 2nd chapter of the book of Mark that the Sabbath day was made for man “to worship God the Creator” and not man for the Sabbath “and that’s mankind becoming slothful.” In verses 1-2 of the 3rd chapter of the book of Mark which is on another Sabbath day; Yhowshua and His disciples entered into the synagogue again, and everybody in the synagogue was watching Him; read it for yourselves. In verses 2-3 of the 6th chapter of the book of Mark; Yhowshua and His disciples were in the synagogue and He began to teach and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things; and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon; and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at Yhowshua’s wisdom in the doctrine He taught; even as people are today against Grace Message Church Ministries; they calling us nobodies; and they are right; for we are just willing, yet still unclean vessels, so all glory belongs to God and God alone!!! There’s a lot of people who understand Paul’s ministry; Paul followed the example of Yhowshua; we seeing Paul and his company in verses 13-41 of the 13th chapter of the book of Acts as they entered into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and taught. If we take a closer look at the 27th verse of the 13th chapter of that same book of Acts; Paul being a apostle of Yhowshua the Christ, he said they that dwell in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they knew not Yhowshua the Word of God; nor yet the voices of the prophets which ARE READ EVERY SABBATH DAY “not Sunday!!!”Paul and Barnabas acknowledges that Moses being the first five books of the Bible were read in every city and preached in the synagogue EVERY SABBATH DAY. Here’s a ringer, in verses 1-2 of the 17th chapter of the book of Acts the scripture reveals; they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: and Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and THREE SABBATH DAYS reasoned with them out of the scriptures. If we are suppose to be imitating God, He worked six days in creation, and rested on the seventh day; even as we work six days a week, and when Saturday comes, we are looking to be off on that day, so we can get some rest; even as God rested on the seventh day. If you read this epistle so far and searched the scriptures or did not search the scriptures, you are liable to repent, which means think differently about how you felt concerning the Sabbath than you have in time past; and God will hold you responsible, if you believe it or not. Now let’s turn our focus on verses 20-21 of the 17th chapter of the book of Luke which reads: and when Yhowshua was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, Yhowshua answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Most people in the household of God who say that they are Christians or saints, they claim to belong to God, but refuse to follow His instructions in His Word; the Kingdom of God works this way; I the Word of God say unto one go and he goeth, and I the Word of God say unto one come, and he cometh, and to my servant, do this and he doeth it. Even the centurion found in verses 6-8 of the 7th chapter of the book of Luke understood the operation of being under authority; so he asked Yhowshua just to speak the Word and his servant will be healed. You got it, God’s Word has dominion over us, and we called Him King of kings, but some of the same people act like they are His king and He’s the servant. If you are of God, the Kingdom of God suppose to be in you, that’s you operating on His every command, rather it’s logos “which is written” or rhema “which is freshly spoken” and this means your opinion does not count, for you are commanded to obey the Word of God. This is the Kingdom of God which is within; but when someone looks at you, they will not be able to see the Kingdom in you, even as they could not see the Kingdom of God in Yhowshua; but Yhowshua said, I do what I see My Father doeth, and I say what I hear My Father says; for even He was under authority; this is why the illustration of authority and being under authority was given using a centurion; symbolically, Yhowshua was the picture of the Centurion. Having this Kingdom knowledge, reassures you that the Kingdom is within your hearts, for all that the religious system saw in Yhowshua was a carpenter and not kingdom material!!! Here is where we will pause for the moment, for enough has been said to make you go hmm. Remember this; we of the leadership team of Grace Message Church Ministries love you, for we are commissioned to, sayonara!!!!
