Part 22 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 first day of the week; we strongly advise everyone who study these foods for thought that you would take the time out of your busy schedules just to watch two videos which are posted on Grace M Church Facebook page. These videos have their own inscription written over them, one reads: Sometimes it takes some God sent old rotten rags to get you out of what God's Word got you into: this is the first part of this message; part two of this video will be posted on 10/30/17. The other video has this inscription written over it: We were created to bear fruit and bearing fruit brings multiplication; these videos go into more detail; watch them and be blessed!!! For these videos are designed to awaken God’s chosen people out of their drunken stupor. This drunken stupor is not being drunk with narcotics, or intoxication of wine, nor liquor. But this drunken stupor in which the Bible mentions and we are teaching about, it’s a mental stupor or a torpor stupor which can be applied to the state of a living body which has not lost all power of feeling and motion which is called laziness, dullness and sluggishness. In continuing with uncovering this topic, the Biblical drunken stupor is also known as a doctrinal stupor and a belief stupor. What most Saints and Christians fail to realize, that Yhowshua being the true Son of God, He was very controversial; and in searching our very own Bibles, all over the four Gospels we see Yhowshua contending for the faith; even as Paul the apostle of Yhowshua contending on Mars’ hill, as can be read in verses 22-32 of the 17th chapter of the book of Acts in these words: then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens “which is the goddess of wisdom to them.” Paul continues by saying, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious “which is them believing that they were more religious than others.” Paul staying steadfast in his mission while being on the run, he said unto them all; for as I passed by, and beheld your devotions “which are their altars, their objects of worship, which were something adored or worshipped as divine, being highly reverenced and greatly loved” I found an altar with this inscription “which describes your mentality of worship” it read: TO THE NOT HAVING HAD COHABITATION SUPREME DIVINITY. Whom therefore ye not understandingly worship, He teach I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Master, Owner and Controller of heaven and earth, so He dwells not in shrines made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed anything from mankind to be God, seeing He gives to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should worship God the Master, Owner and Controller, if haply God’s creation might search for Him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: for in him we live, and move, and have our hope; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also His offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of His people not understanding, God overlooked at one period of our lives; but now He has commanded all men everywhere to think differently, which the Bible calls repent: “this repentance is thinking differently about the way you are calling yourselves worshiping the creator of all life, which call Him Elohiym.” Because Elohiym hath established a day, in which He will punish the world in righteousness by that man Yhowshua whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given evidence unto all men, in that He hath raised Yhowshua from the dead. And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead “BKA standing upright again, from where we as a society in first Adam all fell” some of those superstitious Mars’ hill dwellers insulted Paul’s anointed God given teachings: and others said, we will hear thee again of this matter. The matter in which they were referring to was only the resurrection of the dead; which meant, they had no belief of eternal life with God. Now let’s take a look at one of Yhowshua’s confrontational encounters, turn with us unto the 21st chapter of the book of Matthew and if we could focus on verses 23-27 of that same 21st chapter of the book of Matthew: the scriptures shows us that Yhowshua was teaching in the temple and this is what happened: And when the living, active, moving Word of God was finally come into His rightful place called the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people “which were dedicated to pleasing the people and not God” yet they came unto the Word of God in whom they themselves were suppose to been teaching; but while Yhowshua was teaching the people the truth and had their attention; the people’s choice being the chief priests and the elders, they said unto Yhowshua in front of the whole congregation, seeing they Yhowshua was teaching on those leaders stomping grounds, so the religious leaders tried to put Yhowshua to shame, and they asked Him, by what authority doest thou these things? “In other words, what the religious leaders were asking Yhowshua is this, which one of the set of the Pharisees, or the Sadducees, or of the chief priest, even of the elders of the people gave thee this authority to teach in their temples? That’s when Yhowshua answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing “which means, before answering your easy to answer question, answer my easy to answer question first; this is a clear picture of contending for the faith and confrontation taking place in the very temple of God.” Yhowshua promised those leaders, if ye tell me my answer first; I in likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. Evidently the religious leaders agreed, for they knew Yhowshua only as being the carpenter’s son, and they felt as if there would be no Biblical question in which this son of a carpenter could ask them that would put them on the spot. Here’s Yhowshua’s question to them; the water baptism of John, whence was it, from heaven, or of men? “Please keep in mind that John the Baptist being born with the Holy Ghost, he was doing a spiritual thing which seemed in the eyes of ignorant leaders as only performing a physical act, which carried to them no significant meaning with God.” So these religious store bought leaders, they reasoned with themselves “even as store bought leaders of today gather together against God’s anointed” they said among themselves, If we shall say, John’s Baptism was from heaven; He will say unto us, why did ye not then believe in what John the Baptist was doing and teaching: seeing that John asked the religious leaders in the 8th verse of the 3rd chapter of the book of Matthew: bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance? If these leaders did not believe or understood John’s ministry; how do you expect them to understand Yhowshua’s ministry, so why are people insisting on following these types of teachings, which are coming from these types of leaders, for the people agree with who they asked or voted for, by the congregations demanding; give us a king to judge us; which causes them to look like the other nations round about them? This confrontation continued in the temple of God, and the chief priests and the elders of the people communing among themselves came to this conclusion, but if we shall say, John’s ministry was of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. So they answered Yhowshua and said, we cannot have knowledge of that. And Yhowshua said unto them, neither describe I unto you by what authority I do these things “in your temples; even in the turning over of moneychangers tables, when I drove out your animal sacrifices with a whip.” These things in which Yhowshua and Paul did, they are called contending for the faith; and the faith they were contending for was not their own, if was for ours; Selah!!!!! We offer no apology for not continuing in Luke chapter 18 because this ministry is Holy Ghost lead but we can say that we will continue in the 18th chapter of the book of Luke in our next epistle, so stay tuned. Here is where we will pause for the moment, for enough has been said to make you go hmm!!! We will speak with you later, that is, if it’s the Lord’s will; remember this; we of the leadership team of Grace Message Church Ministries love you, and we are prepared to contend for the faith; sayonara!!!
