S2E55 Homily 46.01.1-3 Greeting

Welcome everybody, Welcome to today's program. You're going to see

things in quite a few different ways. You're going to

see me as I really am. When I go to

biblic Hate, you know, when I need to get to

what God's word actually is the Hebrew and Greek, you'll

see me grab my laptop and when I preach, the

spirit must flow, and I always preach from a written copy.

So lots of things going on today. I just love

to biblicate, and that's just the truth. So I'm setting

here Sunday before lunch. What it's actually neon right now?

Ever since I got up this morning, I've been thinking

about a new a new series. I'm always thinking. And

you know, I could literally preach twenty four seven literally

Biblicate twenty four to seven. So today is different day

because it's very frustrating as I cannot record Google Meets

on my phone, so I have to have my laptop

when I want to look at the Hebrew and the Greek.

I want to get, you know, so I don't misquote myself.

I get the actual text which comes from the laptop.

And when I preach, the spirit must move. So I've

got to have my written copies. So you're just going

to get an amalgamation of biblification today. So you know,

today we're going to do uh. First off, let me

let me say this. I'm sometimes I can ramble on huh.

So today we're going to do the greeting. Okay, when

you open it up to First Corinthians and most of

the chapters in the Bible, the headings, the book always

starts by greeting. And I've been thinking as of, like,

you know, I grew up in a church where the

pastor preached the whole Bible. We would go through the Bible. Now,

it didn't take him a year, it took him more

than a year, but he would literally preach the entire Bible.

Now we got the breakups and the important things on

the holidays, Christmas, Easter, Passover, YadA, YadA, YadA. But in

his normal preaching, he would just go through the Bible

and preach. And my wife and I are doing the

Romans Bible study, and it was just natural for me

to how can I how can I biblicate more? How

can I produce more? Even though I'm being hindered here

by by Google meets. I mean, I'm obviously this ministry,

you know, your tithe money is going to pay for

this very expensive platform to Google Drive and Google Meets,

and it will not let me record on my phone.

I have to do this the hard way. It just

makes it very frustrating. And I was just thinking, how

can I do more? How can I produce more? Oh?

I can produce. I mean you can ask anyone who's

who's ever fellowshiped with me or known me. All you

gotta do is give me a Bible. I can just

I can just peach. I can just immediately jump right

into it and do it. So that's where this is

coming from. My mind was thinking, you know where should

I start just producing more? And this Google Meets creates

the biggest hassle because it really does need to be

recorded in Google Meets. Because I can take the mp

fore recording and put it straight into Audacity and get

it out the audio so it can go up on

the podcast. I can also from my Chromebook load it

onto YouTube straight from Google Drive. So do you know

these obstacles, A whole lot of obstacles, just a lot

of work. This takes me a lot of time, and

it's frustrating me because I have to do this instead

of spending time in God's words. But it's very frustrating

to me. The you know, the first thing I want

to say is something that I shouldn't. I mean, I shouldn't. Yeah,

I'd better not say that. I spend a gross amount

of time doing this. You know, get the recording of

getting it posted. I mean, I work a full time job,

and on top of that that full time job, I

have to be there nine hours. We don't get a

half hour lunch. They forced us to take a full

hour lunch. So I'm literally at work ten hours. So

because I live, you know, twenty three and a half

miles from where I work, so you know, twenty twenty

five minute drive, which turns into fifty minutes drive time.

So anyway, very frustrating because this takes away from my biblification.

I can literally just and that's what we're doing right now.

I mean, that's what I was studying I was thinking about.

I woke up, you know, got my first cup of Joe,

and I just you know, and Rachel and I talked

about this this morning. It's amazing how you cannot get

my brain off the botto. You can't. You can't do it.

That's while I'm at work, I'm thinking. And that's why

I like the Blue Letter Bible Act because I'll be

in the middle of you know, you think I'm in

the middle of working, but I'm not. I will pause

what I'm doing, reach for my phone. Everybody thinks I'm

checking messages or faithbook, knowing not I'm getting out the

Blue Letter Bible at I'm checking. Ok, okay, what's that

Greek word? What's this Hebrew word? So it's amazing. You know,

my wife has been married to me for you know,

thirty three years now, and it's just amazing. Now she says,

you can't get your brain off the Bible. You just can't.

So this Bible study we're going to do here is

just you know, how does my mind work? You know,

it reminds me of the series that I did on

the Fringe Radio Network, The Mind of Matthew Miller. So

you're really going to see how well how I rightly

divide things. Let's go from the top. Let's go from

the top. So when I look look at the text,

I'm going to try to see how I can rightly

divide it. And from the very beginning I looked at

First Corinthians, Chapter one, it's thirty one versus home. Now,

under almost circumstances, I don't preached the greeting. So the

greeting is the first three verses, so you remove those

from the equation. Now, so when you do that, you got, well,

we got thirty one versus total in here, and remove

three from it. So you've got thirty twenty nine, twenty eight.

So there's twenty eight verses here. And when I look

at the headings, guess what? When you do that, you

divide that by two, and it's fourteen. I can do

divide this chapter into two basic shermans that are fourteen

verses a piece. So I look at the headings. How

can I adjust left or right, you know, hop to

bottom and compensate. Well, amazingly enough, here the one two

three fourth stanza starts at verse eighteen, which is perfect

because of course four, because I removed three of the verses,

so I'm starting in verse four. From verse four to

verse eighteen is exactly fourteen verses. So this chapter can

be rightly divided. I can rightly preach this sermon divided

in two a fourteen verses a piece. It works out perfectly.

This is always how I begin my sermons. I actually

look at the Bible, how it's rightly divided, and try

to pace my thoughts together. Because most of you think

that I have these enormous sermon notes, and I get

my notes from maybe you know, these big sermon indexes.

And make no mistakes about it. I've been to a

institution of higher learning. They noted that my two boys

gradulated from Christian institutions of higher learning. And they will

be the first and foremost to tell you that they

want you to build your notes off of other people's sermons,

not off the Holy Spirit. That's not what Matthew does.

The Spirit will naturally move it directly, so I don't

need to gather my thoughts. All I gotta do is

read it and I'll start preaching it. So you're going

to get that here today. You need to understand what,

but what happens to you spiritually when there is a

separation from scripture. When you separate from scripture, that's what's

going to happen to you. You're going to do that.

You're going to look to other people. You'll take note

that one of the telltale signs that a preacher is

not being moved by the spirit of God. Is. They

will always incorporate quotes from other people. Always they'll do this.

They'll quote even from Mark Twain, the epitome of hatred

toward God. So take note. That's one of the telltale signs.

Another one of the telltale signs, if they say that

Paul wrote this, they will try to rip the inspiration

of Holy Spirit out of the equation. They will never

give you a hint. This is God, this is what

God says. They will try to convince you subconsciously and

separates you from the scripture by convincing you that Paul

actually wrote it. So those are two very important yell

tell signs that you need to get out of what

you're participating in. If it's trying to get your your

spirit separated from scripture. What you're going to see me

do here today is this comes from my spirit being

saturated in scripture, not separated from it. Saturated in scripture.

I can pull things from my memory when we're read

this here, it's going to trigger remembrancers in me. I

know where this this comes from, I know where it's going,

I know how it got there historically speaking, so I

really do hope that this bears fruit. And I've been

having a lot of trouble doing the fellowships on Thursday night.

I'm just so wore out. I'm just of course, we're

into second winter here into here in North Dakota, because

remember we have seven months of freezing temperature. There's seven

months of the year that the temperature is below thirty

two degrees fahrenheit. So February is the demarcation. It starts

second winter usually the first the last week of January.

Week of February had this slight warming trend, and then

we go right back into the freezer. So you have

first winter basically October, November, December, January, and then you

have second winter February, March April, and finally, finally by

the third week of May, by Memorial Day, we're out

of the winter. All of these things are are boiling up.

I'm at my weakest point here for second winter, and

I don't like to struggle. I like to saturate myself

with scripture. So rather than let the circumstances separate me

for scripture, I'm going to up my game. So I

hope that this bears fruit. But I want you to

take note how I'm doing this, how the spirit is moving.

This is the most important thing. It always was, it

always will be. So let's take a look at this.

So I'm going to start with the greeting because there's

so much here, and I am going to have to

look at the Greek, not because I don't remember it,

but because well, first and foremost, I fear God, and

I'm afraid that I'm going to say, you know, Revelation

chapter two, verse seven, when it's not I messed up.

I misremembered. It was really chapter two, verse seventeen. So

I am absolutely terrified that I will misquote the word

of the Living God. So that's why you're going to

see me grab my my laptop and look at the

Greek and Hebrew. But let's go to this greeting. Boy,

I've rambled on for quite some time. So greeting Paul.

Paul to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the

will of God and socially needs our brother to the

Church of God, which is at coorting to those who

are sanctified in Christ. Jesus called to be saints with

all in every place, call on the name of Jesus Christ,

our Lord, both theirs and ours, grace to you and

peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The first impression I get from this is the name

of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amazes me how this is

another tale tale sign. People hesitate in calling him the

Lord Jesus Christ. That is who he is, that is

his title. Many Christians want this generic. They'll just say Jesus, Jesus.

You'll you'll hear them say Jesus. And we know from

well many people on this planet are worshiping the Jesus

on the wrong side of the rainbow. Many demonic entities

take on the nomenclature of Jesus and grant many witches,

you know, favors. So take note. You need to say,

you need to address him as the Lord Jesus Christ.

When you do so, it will offend many nominal Christians.

It will really offend them. That's the first thing I

see here that here, how many times do we get

Jesus Christ. We get him three times, three times, we

get Jesus Christ. We get it twice in verse two

and once in verse three. In three verses, you get

the Lord Jesus Christ three times. That is absolutely amazing.

And let's take a look at this, so take notes.

It's all about location. Let me read this again. It

says to the Church of God, which is at Corinth.

He wants you to know this is out of location.

It's happen happening out of location to those who are

sanctified in Christ Jesus. So not all the nominal Christians

at Court. Only those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus,

the ones that are called to be saints. Okay, with

all who in every place call on the name of

Jesus Christ, our Lord, both theirs and ours. He completely

destroys denominationalism. It's the first thing he does here. There's

no such thing as a Baptist church in Court. There's

only one church in Corinth. There's only one church in

every single place you might go. There's just one. So

the very first thing we need to realize about this,

and me just saying that provokes me to remind you

that the seven churches in the Book of Revelation, they

are not different churches in time, as the nominal Christians preach.

They're that's not seven time cranks. It's seven different churches

in seven different places, all in Asia minor. Now why

do we say Asia minor? That provokes me to go

ahead here and grab the laptop and bring up the

Greek Take note that the book itself the Book of Revelation.

Just be patient with me here as I open this up.

Revelation Chapter one, verse four, John to the seven churches

which are in Asia. Why is he saying Asia? Well?

Where is this? Actually? Actually, all the seven churches are

in Anatolia. They're all in Turkey. So Anatolia is a

part is a part of Asia. Let's take a look here.

Let me bring up the Wikipedia article here for Anatolia. Well,

let's see here. Anatolia, also known as Asia Minor, is

the peninsula in western Asia. So it's the peninsula that

is the is west Asia that is Anatolia. So all

of these churches are prophetically and Anatolia. Why is that important?

It is of perfect importance. Why do I say that?

When you see God prophetically establish facts based in prophecy,

that's when something is perfectly prophetic. So why am I

saying that? Well, let's let's do a little bit here.

Geographically speaking, Anatolia is the westernmost protrusion of Asia and

is geographically bounded by the Mediterranean Sea on the south,

the Age and Sea on the west, the Turkey Straits

on the northwest, and the Black Sea to the north.

The western and eastern limits have been expanded to either

the entirety of Asiatic Turkey or to an imprecise line

from the Black Sea to the Gulf of Alexandreka. Anyway,

so he's saying asiae either in Asia. Why isn't he

coming out and telling you exactly where it's from, which

is Anatolia? Because Anatolia in Greek, which is what the

by God's Holy Word is written in, and Natolia is east.

It's the word for east. When we take a look

at that word in the Bible, called totally word, it's

going to rattle your cage when you realize where that is.

Immediately most people will be drawn to Matthew chapter two,

verse one. Okay, from the New King James version, it

states as such, now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem

of Judea in the days of Eric King, behold, wise

men from the East came to Jerusalem. Really, and the

Greek that says they came from a Natolia. That's what

it says in Anatolia. So is it. And take note

at the time this was written, at the time the

Holy Spirit inspired the writer to put this to paper,

and Anatolia was the region I just described to you.

It's Asia minor. It's Asia minor. This is why Revelation

calls it Asia. He wants you to know that you're

supposed to know that geographically, Well, these are all in Anatolia,

Western Asia, Asia minor. Why is he doing that? So

take note the very next verse as saying, whereas he

has been born team of the Jews, for we have

seen his star in Anatolia and have come to worship him.

Take note, it's a prophetic way of saying it so

worth a magi in Anatolia when they saw it, or

did they see the star in the east and followed

it to Bethlehem, Well, take note from wherever they were

at no matter where they saw the star, they would

not follow that star and travel east. They would have

traveled west to get the bethela hem. So he's speaking

very very prophetically here, very perfectly, and it's going to

take us to the only instance in Luke where Anatolia is.

My goodness, I don't have time to stop what I'm

doing and talk about this massively important portion of scripture here.

Oh my goodness, I've talked about this as of late,

maybe a month or two ago, with the prophecy there

in Luke. But take note, I don't need to backtrack

and get caught upon that. I need to talk about

where this incident is here, because it's in Luke chapter one,

verse seventy eight. It states from the New King James version,

through the tender mercy of God, with which the day

spring from on high has visited us. That says anatolia.

Because here we go again. Anatolia also means east. It

also means the sunrise, but it also means day spring.

So here the new King James version, in the tradition

of the KJV itself which the KJAV translate, this word

is day spring here too, but it is literally same

here from which the day spring or the anatolia from

on high has visited us. Extremely prophetic. We have this

word again. Uh. And and here God does the magical thing.

He tells you the difference between the day spring and

and what's a a good way but the sinkhol Disney.

So this is where we get the English word dismal

is from this Greek word, where in this verse it

says sunset or or from the west. But anyway, so

the Lord Jesus Christ of Luke chapter thirteen, verse twenty

nine says, they will come from the east and the west,

from the north and the south, and sit down in

the Kingdom of God. Here it's saying and anetolia and sunset.

So very important here that you realize what's going on

in the Greek. So take note these seven churches in Asia.

Prophetically you're supposed to realize that this is called anatolia.

This is the day spring. These churches are going to

come from the day spring. Here it's prophetically calling up

there in Luke chapter one, verse seventy eight, it's prophetically

calling Jesus Christ the day spring. And of course, when

we go to the book of Revelation, where are those churches.

At those churches, their location is in association with of course,

the Lord Jesus Christ. So very important that you see

the prophetic mystery of this. Let me go here to

Revelation chapter one and read to you. Let's see here

it says, here the mystery of the seven stars, what

you saw on my right hand with the seven golden

lamp stands. The seven stars are the seven angels to

the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands which you

saw are the seven churches. So you're supposed to know prophetically,

this is those seven churches that comes from the Lord

Jesus Christ. He is the day Spring, he is the East,

he is Anatolia. He is is the Day's Spring. So

so much can be learned here just from you understanding

that this is why the great gathering must take place,

because I am a Christian here and I am in

a church one of those churches are one of the

churches describing the Book a Revelation that take note, there

are other Christians where you're at, and we all must

be gathered together in Anatolia. We must all be brought

together in one place, even as the seven churches of

Revelation were in the same place. And more importantly, he

wanted you to see that this geographical location was not

tied to an ethnic group, because God's chosen people no

longer adhere or have their origins in ethnicity. Their origins

are in faith. So whether you're a Jew, whether you're

a Greek, whether you're Russian, whether you're a Mexican, whether

you're a Spaniard, whether you're a German. All those Christ

has his churches and all those locations, and we must

be gathered together at one spot. Prophetically, he's saying, those

churches came from the day spring. I'm Natolia the Lord

Jesus Christ, and also from that direction from him. So

it's streme prophecy here in the first three verses. It's amazing.

I don't even know how long I've been going on for.

But take no point. Historically speaking, we should all realize

this come from Acts chapter eighteen. It's really easy to remember.

It's Acts chapter eighteen, verses one through eighteen. When we

do that, Wow, I flipped right. I'll flipped right to it.

Take you by surprise. Acts chapter eighteen, verse one. After

these things, Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.

The first eighteen verses of Acts chapter eighteen is about

the establishment of the church at Corinth. So, wow, it

is of paramount importance that I read this to you.

You know, we really didn't name to read this, because

here the Holy Spirit that the rates out Paul from

his ethnicity. He calls him out of his his ethnic races,

ethnic origins, and this happens quite catastrophically. So why don't

we just take the time. I mean, how much time

do I have? Right? How much time do you have?

You know, that's a good point. The reason why I'm

doing this, ladies and gentlemen, is because I miss, I

truly miss getting God's word. You know, when I was

growing up, we went to church four times a week.

You had the service of Sunday morning, we had a

Sunday night service, and we had a Wednesday evening service

prayer service. And I went to youth group on Thursday nights.

Four nights, you know, four times of the week. So

when's the last time you heard Have you ever heard

anything spoken about the first three verses of First Corinthians?

Did your pastor never point out to these things that

it was of paramount importance that you knew where the

Book of First and Second Corinthians came from. It comes

from Acts, chapter eighteen, verses one through eighteen, so it

behoove us to read it. So listen, this is what

God is saying. He's going to tear you out of

your ethnic group and make a people for himself. After

these things, Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.

He found a certain Jew named Aquilla born in Pontus,

who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla,

because Claudius had commanded all the Jews depart from Rome,

and he came to them. So because he was of

the same trade, he stayed with them and worked for

by occupation. They were tentmakers, and they reasoned in the

Synegal every Sabbath and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. No

thank notes, you'll take note these Jews were not from Judea.

They were from Rome and had been kicked out of Rome. Okay,

the person that he went to they were Jews. Take

note that they had been expelled, so jew is. So

Paul hooks up with this family because they were news

that had been expelled also from their place. So he

went there and he hooked up with them because they

were ethnically Jews like Paul was. And they were also

in the same trade, tent makers. And you think everything's

going to be fine and dandy. But from this point

he goes to other Jews in the Senagogue. But this

is talking about their ethnicity. Now it comes down to

what society they were in, and they were in the

society of the Greek. They had all been hellenized. The

entire Roman Empire. Okay, these parts which we're talking about

had all been hellenized, had all been hellenized from Alexander

the Great. So take note. Their society they were living

in was not a Jewish society. They were living in

a Hellenized society. So it's of paramount importance that you

realized why he put that in there. So verse four again,

and he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded

both Jews and Greece. Then Silas and Timothy had came

from Macedonia. All was compelled by the spirit and testified

to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. But when

they opposed him and blaspheming, he shook his garments and said,

your blood be on your own heads. I am clean.

From now on, I will go to the Gentiles. So

take note. He tries to go to his ethnic people.

First they reject him. They reject the Lord Jesus Christ

and blaspheming the Lord Jesus Christ, at which point he

departs his ethnic group. He departs them and goes to

the gentiles that are living in that place. Okay. Verse seven,

And he departed from there and entered the house of

a certain man named Justice, one who worshiped God, whose

house was next door to the synagogue. When Christmas, the

ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all

his household, and many of the Corinthians hearing believed and

were baptized, even the leader of the synagogue, which was

had been hellenized. To remember, all these people were talking

about they had all been hellenized, and they're living in

Corinth which has been hellenized. Even make sure that you know, look,

the Romans didn't romanize anybody. The Romans had been hellenized. Okay, soey, no,

it's a paramount importance that you see the truth behind

these words. So understand what is happening here. That he

goes to his ethnic group, and out of the ethnic group,

some people get saved, even the rulers of the synagogue. Okay,

they convert to Christianity. So so, having started there, verse nine,

Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by vision,

do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent,

for I'm with you. No one will attack you to

hurt you, or I have many people in this city.

And he continued there a year in six months, teaching

the word of God among them. But let's posit it.

How is it possible. Well, of course it's not possible.

But many of you have never heard discernment before. You've

never heard a pastor preach from the first eighteen verses

of Acts. Look, this is going back to Elijah. Remember

when Elijah said, look, kill me, Lord. You know they've

been killed all your people, and now they're coming after

me to take my life. And God says, no, no,

that's a lie. I have seven thousand people who have

not bent the nail bit the nail bit the knee

to bail. God is saying here, I have Christians there

that have been called, but they've not been chosen yet.

Need to go preach to them so they can become chosen.

They've been called, they are kalale. They need to go

the next step. You need to preach to them so

that they'll be chosen. That's what he said here. Now,

this is the whole reason why he stayed there for

a year and six months. Eighteen months, so he's been

eighteen months in Acts chapter eighteen, the first eighteen verses.

I mean, if you can't rightly divide that, I don't

know how I could teach you to do that. So

techno here it would have been better put in verse

eleven if it would have just said eighteen, so you

could have got the eighteenth chapter, the eighteen verses, the

eighteen months. So anyway, so even if you are ethnically

a Jew, you must be called out of that into

the Lord Jesus Christ. And once you do, your ethnicity

is erased by his personality. You're no longer a citizen

of such and such a place. You are a member

of the family of the Lord Jesus Christ. So you

are removed from your location and inserted into a family.

So that's what's all being described here. Verse twelve. When

Galileo was pro counselor of a kaye, the Jews, with

one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to

the judgment seat, saying, this fellow persuades mentor worship God,

contrary to the law. All my goodness, oh my goodness,

you talk about put me to the quip. Ladies and gentlemen, idiot,

is the corrupt clergy in your it is the corrupt

clergy that is running the church buildings today at the

behest of Satan shepherds. They're Satan shepherds. Take note. I

wanna talk a little bit personally here, and that's okay.

This is my life, this is my ministry. Back on

November the third, I preach dis sermon which ultimately led

to us not going. I don't to talk too much

about it prior to that event leading up to that event,

because our church is without leadership. We put that very

politically correct. It was the first Sunday of the month.

Our church was supposed to that. Let me keep rephrasing

that that church building, that denominated church building does their

communion at the beginning of every month. This was the

first Sunday of the month. So I approached the leader

of that denominated church building and I put forth to her.

I said, you know, I can do communion that day.

I don't care. And she piped up really quickly said no,

you don't have the credentials. You do not need credentials

to facilitate the communion of the Lord Jesus Christ. So

this gets very personal. You don't need a laid ministry license.

You don't need to be licensed by Satan to preach.

You need to be doing exactly what Paul was doing here. Okay,

you need to hang out with your people at work,

and you need to try to paroselytize those people that

you work with, because that's who you mostly interact with.

And this is why these first fourteen verses said, this

church started in the workplace. They started in the workplace.

He was hanging out with these people because they were

ethnically Jews. You work with people who are ethnically Americans,

so it's not like you're working with people that speak

the different language, although some of you might be speaking

with people, but needless to say, you're supposed to be

speaking with Americans that you work with, and you're supposed

to try to pusletize those those people that you proselytize,

you should start a church with them, and that church

should not be located in a denominated church building. So anyway,

this is what if you do. If you do take

these people, these new Christians whom God has called that

you've actually led them to be born again, don't take

them to your local church building. This is what is

always going to happen. We are in the latter days,

I need to give you a birth pain report right now.

You're in the birth pains. If you're not, I'm hoping

you're in the birth names, and you need to know

that it's that time. If you get people that you

work with, save invite them to your denominated church building,

because the leaders of that church will gnash their teeth

if those people are not baptized into that denominated church

building and are supplying that denominated church building with funds

I ehithe, they will gnash their teeth at them. They

will not accept them as members in the Church of

the Lord Jesus Christ. If they are not accepted as

members of the denominated church building, they don't care if

the Christians are not. They just want to pay tithe

to that denominated church building. Anyway, I've gone on too long.

Let's finish this verse fourteen. And when Paul was about

to open his mouth, Caleos said to the Jews, if

it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes of Jews,

there would be a reason why I should bear with you.

But if it is a question of words and names

of your own law, look to it yourselves, For I

do not want to be judge of such matters, and

he drove them from the judgment seat. Then all the

Greeks took Sophanese, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat

him before the judgment seat. But Galileo took no notice

of these things. So take note. It just told you

that this Sophanese was actually the leader of that synagogue,

which was obviously the synagogue of Satan. And so this

is the whole premise, this is the whole start of

First Corinthians chapter one. And take note now that we

know that it was this of this so Symphones that

was leader of the synagogue, you realize we go back

to First Corinthians chapter one, Verse one. Paul pauled to

being a prospse of Jesus Christ to the rul of God,

and so stun ease our brother. This was the very

synagogue ruler. So now both of them had been displaced

from Corinth and Paul is writing this letter with this

very synagogue leader that had converted from Judaism into Christianity.

So wow, that's quite a primal here, knowing all of

these things. Knowing wow, it this tale of the first

three verses the First Corinthians in the backdrop of everything

there in Acts Chapter eighteen, verses one through eighteen, it

lets you realize the mass importance of living and being

alive in these last days. You need to get with

the program. Ladies and gentlemen. You need to get with

the program. You need to bear fruit. I cannot impress

that upon you enough. You need to bear fruit. Surely

you've got friends in your corinth. Wherever your corant is,

I mean you live somewhere. Surely there's a church there.

You need to get together with that church. And you

need to start being effective. You need to start saving

those You need to start saving those people. I'll flip

back here again. I'm just being drugged by the Holy

Spirit back there. You need to do this when you

need to be able to do this. You need to

realize what that chapter says in Acts Chapter eighteen. You

need to realize that this is exactly what is happening

name to you, and it's happening to you right now now.

The Lord spoke to Paul in the night by vision.

Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent,

for I am with you, and no one will attack

you to hurt you. For I have many people in

this city, ladies, and you know there are people out

there that's called that has not hurt the Gospel. You

need to get them sanctified. You need to get them saved.

You need to get them born again, which this whole

aspect goes back to Romans Chapter one. Boy, I wonder

how long I've went on. I haven't timed this or anything,

but I'm at the end of this message. I feel

like I am at the end of my leash for

verse three verses of First Corinthians. Am I going to

make this a serious I hope I have time to

do it, and I have two more programs to do today.

But let us in this program with prayer. Let me

pray for you. They're heavenly Father, whom I serve through

the Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, Father and our Savior.

Please feel us your please you with the Holy Spirit,

so that we might be pleasing and acceptable in your

sight or loud, our Rock and our Redeemer, the will

please move among the people who are called by your name.

We desperately need to get these people who were called

into the kingdom. We need to get them chosen, We

need to get them born again. Please move among this. Lord,

Please open doors of opportunity. Please create opportunities where there

are none. Please love us, Lord, love us enough to

out upon us a bearing of fruit. Right now, due

to the corrupt clergy and Satan shepherds, we are but

dry bones, Lord Jesus, they have completely drawn out all

your power from your name. They claim the name of

the Lord Jesus Christ. But beny the power thereof. And

here we are in this valley of dry bones, that

they gathered us up and put us into these fall

things that they call denominated church buildings. They have nipped

us in the bud so that we cannot bear fruit.

Pour your spirit out upon your people. Lord, you have

so many, just like these verses talked about. You have

so many in the places where we live that are

not being saved because Satan shepherds and the corrupt clergy

will not tolerate them. Please move among the people who

are called by your name. In the name of the

Lord Jesus Christ, I pray your son, Father and our Savior.

Amen and Amen. Till next time, ladies and gentlemen, God bless,

God speed,
