Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WE ENDED THE JANUARY ISSUE DEALING WITH HOW THE CHURCH ASSEMBLY IN ROME ITALY GOT STARTED. WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THERE WERE JEWS FROM ROME IN JERUSALEM TO OBSERVE A FEAST DAY, WHEN THE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DISCIPLES CAME OUT OF THAT UPPER ROOM INTO THE STREETS OF THE CITY SPEAKING IN TONGUES AND GLORIFYING GOD, AFTER THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THE UPPER ROOM THAT DAY. THEREFORE WE WILL INSERT A FEW OF THE LAST LINES FROM OUR JANUARY ISSUE, TO GET STARTED ON THIS ISSUE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JANUARY 2005 THROUGH THE YEARS I HAVE PREACHED ON THE SEALS OF CHAPTER 6, IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, BUT TODAY I WANT TO START WITH THE FIRST SEAL AND GO RIGHT ON THROUGH. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR EVERYONE WHO IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMING OF THE LORD, TO SET THEIR GOAL IN THE REMAINING TIME WE HAVE LEFT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THESE SEALS ACTUALLY PERTAIN TO. IT IS ONE THING JUST TO SKIM OVER THEM AND MAKE A FEW REMARKS, BUT WHAT WE EVERYONE NEED TO DO, IS MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THEY PERTAIN TO AND HOW SOCIETY IN THAT SPECIFIC TIME IS IMPACTED. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO COVER THESE SCRIPTURES THE WAY I FEEL LED TO, BUT WE WILL TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS IS NEEDED TO MAKE EVERYTHING AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE, SO PRAY FOR ME AS WE BEGIN TO LOOK INTO THEM, THAT I MAY HAVE THE LEADING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD THE ENTIRE TIME IT TAKES TO COVER THEM.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN DEALING WITH THESE SEALS, IT IS HARD TO GET BEYOND THE WHITE HORSE RIDER OF THE FIRST ONE, BECAUSE THAT SPIRIT OF DECEPTION HAS CARRIED RIGHT ON THROUGH TIME AND IS STILL JUST AS EFFECTIVE AS IT EVER HAS BEEN. THEREFORE WE DO NOT EVER GET AWAY FROM IT, EVEN THOUGH WE GO ON TO SPEAK OF THE OTHER THREE RIDERS, BECAUSE THE COLOR OF THE HORSES ONLY SPEAK OF THE VARIOUS RESULTS OF THE WORK OF THE ANTICHRIST SPIRIT. THE RED HORSE POINTS TO THE BLOODY ERA OF MARTYRDOM THOSE CHRISTIANS FACED AS THAT ANTICHRIST SPIRIT SET ABOUT TO RID THE EARTH OF ALL WHO PROFESSED TO BE CHRISTIANS, SO AS WE GO ALONG, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO LOOK BACK AT VARIOUS THINGS WE MAY HAVE SPOKEN OF ALREADY. NATURALLY THOUGH, OUR MAIN PURPOSE IN DEALING WITH THIS SUBJECT IS TO TRY TO HELP SAINTS THE WORLD OVER, TO REALIZE WHERE WE ARE IN TIME AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND BE, IN ORDER TO GET READY TO MEET OUR LORD WHEN HE COMES.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOD IS VERY GRACIOUS; HE GAVE MANY PEOPLE A CHANCE TO RECEIVE HIS WORD, THAT ARE SITTING SOMEWHERE TODAY, WITH NO MORE REVELATION THAN A JACK RABBIT HAS. NOTICE, “BUT WHEN THE COMFORTER IS COME, WHOM I WILL SEND UNTO YOU FROM THE FATHER, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, (THAT IS THE ONLY THING HE WILL BRING TO YOU, TRUTH, NOT ERROR, NOT A CREED, NOT A DOGMA, NOR A SUPPOSITION.) WHICH PROCEEDETH FROM THE FATHER, HE SHALL TESTIFY OF ME: AND YE ALSO SHALL BEAR WITNESS, BECAUSE YE HAVE BEEN WITH ME FROM THE BEGINNING.” I HAVE TO SAY, IF THEY HAVE SO MUCH OUT THERE, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU OUGHT TO HEAR SOME BIBLE, SOMETHING PROPHETIC-WISE THAT THE SPIRIT IS GIVING THEM.

Book excerpt: IN THE YEARS SINCE A.D. 96, MEN HAVE CONSTANTLY PROBED THE CONTENTS OF THIS BOOK TRYING TO FIND SOME KEY TO THE MYSTERIOUS LANGUAGE WITHIN, BUT GOD HAD THESE THINGS SEALED UP UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END, AS HE TOLD DANIEL CONCERNING THE THINGS WHICH HE SAW. IN ORDER TO HIDE THE MESSAGE OF THIS BOOK FROM MEN OF OTHER GENERATIONS, TIL THE GENERATION COME WHICH SHOULD SEE THE FULFILLMENT OF ALL REMAINING PROPHESIES, GOD ALLOWED JOHN TO SCRAMBLE THE BOOK IN SUCH A WAY THAT ONLY THE HOLY GHOST COULD UNSCRAMBLE IT, AND THAT ONLY AT THE PROPER TIME.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN ST. MATTHEW 3:11-42, WE FIND JOHN THE BAPTIST, THE FORERUNNER OF THE FIRST ADVENT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, UTTERING THESE WORDS: “I INDEED BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER UNTO REPENTANCE: BUT HE THAT COMETH AFTER ME IS MIGHTIER THAN I, WHOSE SHOES I AM NOT WORTHY TO BEAR: HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND WITH FIRE: WHOSE FAN IS IN HIS HAND AND HE WILL THOROUGHLY PURGE HIS FLOOR, AND GATHER HIS WHEAT INTO THE GARNER: BUT HE WILL BURN UP THE CHAFF WITH UNQUENCHABLE FIRE.” THOSE TWO VERSES ALONE HAVE RAISED MANY QUESTIONS IN THE CHURCH WORLD THROUGH THE YEARS, BUT WHEN YOU ADD TO THEM SOME WORDS THAT JESUS UTTERED, (JOHN 14:15-18) THERE ARE EVEN MORE QUESTIONS. THEREFORE I FEEL THAT IT WILL BE BETTER TO DEAL WITH THE SUBJECT IN A MESSAGE, THAN TRY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS INDIVIDUALLY. BY APPROACHING IT THIS WAY: ALL OUR READERS OF THE CONTENDER WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE IN THE ANSWERS WHICH WE WILL GET FROM THE SCRIPTURES THEMSELVES AS WE ANSWER SUCH QUESTIONS AS, WHAT IS THE HOLY GHOST? WHAT WILL HE DO FOR THE BELIEVER? HOW CAN HE DWELL IN A BELIEVER? DO YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IN TONGUES TO RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE, AND DOZENS OF OTHERS. READ THE MESSAGE PRAYERFULLY, AND ALLOW THE COMFORTER, WHICH IS ALSO THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, TO COMFORT YOU WITH THE TRUTH WHICH WE SHALL PRESENT FROM GOD’S HOLY WORD.

Download or read book The Contender Vol 37 No 8 written by Rev. Raymond Jackson and published by Faith Assembly Church. This book was released on 2005-11-15 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We both saw our parents on both sides give their hearts to the Lord in the light of the revelation we stand for. Well Bro. Jackson, are they in the Bride? No, I am not telling you they are going to be in the Bride, because they did not live long enough to receive the Holy Spirit and get a complete and clear revelation of the truth we have, but they do have eternal life. I pray that you everyone understand what I have said; and that you will understand what will yet be said in this message? I do know this, All of those such as our parents are going to be in that great multitude of Revelation 7:9, and be partakers of eternal life. Let me say this to clear up some things we are covering. My wife had an aunt, that had cancer; and right after we were married she was in the Corydon hospital. On a particular day she literally stopped breathing, her heart stopped beating: The doctors gave her up for dead, but before they could call the undertaker, a nurse went in and there she was, coming to herself. After she came to consciousness, she later said to me, Junior, I saw my mother. Her mother had died when she was a young girl.

Download or read book The Contender Vol 15 No 2 written by Rev. Raymond Jackson and published by Faith Assembly Church. This book was released on 1983-02-15 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BROTHERS ANS SISTERS: WE ARE TRULY A PRIVILEGED PEOPLE. TO BE LIVING IN THIS HOUR OF TIME, AND TO HAVE THIS PRECIOUS WORD OF GOD REVEALED TO US AS MUCH AS IT IS, IS SOMETHING THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY. WE ARE TRULY FEASTING UPON THE MANNA THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD THAT WE COME IN CONTACT WITH EVERY DAY, THINK WE ARE CRAZY, BUT IF THIS IS A TRUE EXAMPLE OF BEING CRAZY, I WOULD SURE HATE TO BE SANE AGAIN. HALLELUJAH! HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD! IN HIS GREAT WISDOM AND FOREKNOWLEDGE, HE INSPIRED SAINTS OF OTHER AGES TO RECORD THE THINGS THAT WOULD COME TO PASS IN OUR AGE OF TIME, AND YET HAD IT COMPLETELY HIDDEN FROM THE GREAT SCHOLARS THAT HAVE SPENT SO MANY YEARS OF THEIR LIVES STUDYING IT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THEOLOGY, THAT NONE OF THEM EVER RECEIVED A TRUE REVELATION OF IT. JUST TO USE A VERY NATURAL ILLUSTRATION TO EMPHASIZE A SPIRITUAL REALITY, LET ME SAY THIS, WHAT MAY BE GARBAGE TO SOME FOLKS, IS LIFE GIVING, AND LIFE SUSTAINING FOOD TO OTHERS. YOU HAVE SEEN LITTLE CHILDREN, AND EVEN MANY ADULTS, FILL A LARGE PLATE WITH FOOD, AND THEN JUST SIT WITH A FORK, OR A SPOON, AND WALLOW IT AROUND EATING ONLY A FEW BITES, AND THEN IT IS DUMPED INTO A GARBAGE CAN. BUT YOU LET SOME FELLOW COME ALONG THAT HAS HAD NOTHING TO EAT FOR A FEW DAYS, AND WHAT HE FINDS IN THAT GARBAGE CAN BECOMES A GREAT FEAST TO HIM. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOUR GREAT SCHOLARS HAVE DONE WITH THE WORD OF GOD. THEY HAVE WRESTLED WITH IT, WALLOWED IT AROUND, PICKED OUT A FEW MAN PLEASING THEORIES, AND THEN DUMPED THE REST IN THEIR SPIRITUAL GARBAGE CAN. THEY HAD NO TASTE FOR THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN WATER BAPTISM, NOR FOR THE ONENESS OF THE GODHEAD, NOR FOR PREDESTINATION, NOR FOR ETERNAL SECURITY OF THE TRUE BELIEVER, AND A GREAT PERCENTAGE OF THEM EVEN REJECT THE TRUTH OF THE NECESSITY OF RECEIVING THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST. BUT WE ARE LIVING IN AN HOUR WHEN TRUE BELIEVERS HAVE A CRAVING IN THEIR SOUL TO FEED UPON THIS HIDDEN MANNA, AND THEY DO NOT LOOK FOR A DOCTOR OF DIVINITY TO FEED IT TO THEM. GOD HAS AN ANOINTED MINISTRY OF APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, PASTORS AND TEACHERS TO DO THE FEEDING, AND THE ONLY DIPLOMA REQUIRED IS GIVEN BY THE HOLY GHOST. LET US KEEP THIS IN MIND NOW, AS WE CONTINUE OUR EXAMINATION OF THE LETTERS WRITTEN TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA BY THE HAND OF THE APOSTLE JOHN, WHO WAS IN EXILE ON THE ISLE OF PATMOS WHEN JESUS INSTRUCTED HIM TO DO SO.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the basis of our study today we are discussing one of Christ ‘s most profound and puzzling parables recorded in Matt. 13:36. Isn’t it strange that no other parable of this segment of seven recorded here ever puzzled the disciples as did this second one concerning the wheat and tares growing together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN THIS MESSAGE WE ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH DOCTRINE WHICH HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF MANY HEATED DEBATES AND ARGUMENTS DOWN THROUGH THE AGE OF GRACE. THE DOCTRINE OF PREDESTINATION, IF LOOKED AT CORRECTLY, CAN GIVE US A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF THE PLAN OF GOD FOR MANKIND, BUT LIKE EVERY OTHER SCRIPTURAL TRUTH, IT HAS BEEN PERVERTED BY SOME WHO ARE WITHOUT REVELATION SO THAT WE HAVE TWO RIDICULOUS EXTREMES TO COPE WITH, AS WELL AS THE REVELATED STREAM WHICH RUNS RIGHT DOWN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THEM. THE BIBLE TEACHES PREDESTINATION FROM FRONT TO BACK, BUT IT MUST BE KEPT IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE HUMANITY AND THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST IS A SUBJECT OF SUCH A VAST SCOPE, WE COULD EASILY FILL A HALF DOZEN ISSUES OF THE CONTENDER AND STILL NOT SAY ALL THAT COULD BE SAID ON THE SUBJECT, BUT WE WILL ENDEAVOR TO SAY ENOUGH IN TWO ISSUES TO HELP ALL THOSE WHO LOVE TRUTH, AND DESIRE TO HAVE THEIR REVELATION LINE UP WITH THE SCRIPTURES. FAR TOO MANY WHO ACTUALLY BREAK TIES WITH DENOMINATIONAL CHURCHES, JUST CARRY MOST OF THEIR TRADITIONS RIGHT ON WITH THEM WHEREVER THEY GO. IT IS LIKE SOMEONE SAID, WE HAVE COME OUT OF BABYLON, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO GET BABYLON OUT OF US. BABYLON IN THIS SENSE SPEAKS OF CONFUSION, AND THEREFORE, THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF CONFUSION IS TO LEARN THE TRUTH, SO THAT IS WHY WE FEEL LED TO PUBLISH THIS ARTICLE. MAYBE IT WILL GET RID OF SOME BABYLONIAN TRADITIONS THAT GOD’S PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HANGING ON TO. TRUTH OR TRADITION

ISRAEL’S MANY WARS ALREADY FOUGHT SINCE 1948 UNTIL THE 70TH WEEK BEGINS FORCES HER THROUGH ECONOMICAL PRESSURES TO SIGN WORLD PEACE TREATY WITH ANTI-CHRIST. (2). THAT POLITICAL JEW (NOT ORTHODOX) BECAUSE OF POLITICAL PRESSURE WILL SELL THEIR NATION DOWN THE DRAIN. (3). BECAUSE THE WORLD CRYING FOR PEACE IN THAT HOUR WILL CAUSE ISRAEL TO FOLLOW SUIT TO KEEP FROM BEING A BLACK SHEEP AMONG THE NATIONS AND BOYCOTTED. (4). ISRAEL’S TWO PROPHETS APPEAR ON THE SCENE PROPHESYING FOR 1260 DAYS THUS BEGINNING THE SOUNDING OF SEVEN TRUMPETS IN REV. 8 & 9 (trumpets sound because of Israel’s disobedience). (5). WORLD CHURCH WILL BECOME COMPLETELY APOSTATIZED BEING FILLED WITH ALL WORLDLINESS AND SATANIC POWER. (6). MIDDLE OF PROPHETIC WEEK FALSE PEACEMAKER BREAKS COVENANT WITH ISRAEL, KILLS HER PROPHETS OF REV. 11 AND DESTROYS ALTAR SACRIFICE AND TEMPLE WORSHIP (Dan. 9:27) CAUSING JERUSALEM TO BECOME AN INTERNATIONALLY CONTROLLED CITY FULFILLING REV. 13:4. (7). TRUMPETS AND VIALS BEGIN TO SOUNsD SETTING STAGE FOR THE LORD’S RETURN.
