God's Witnesses
Part II

This is a carry over set of notes from God's Witnesses with some additional verses added.
 

7.  US'ns - Today
You & Me are to 'BE' not just 'talk' a witness to all  the world!
the # 7 - perfect, completion - spiritually, that is!

We have the Holy Spirit in us and we have the sword of the Spirit - the Word of God.  Without us, the work & will of God can not & will not be done!
Romans 8:16   The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God...
Colossians 2:10  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
II Timothy 3:16,17  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Romans 8:1,2  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

John 14:20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
 

Romans 10:13-15   For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

I Timothy 6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
II Timothy 2:1,2   Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Gal:2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Paul's commission - Light!
Remember, Paul's commission was to open our eyes and turn us from darkness to light! Acts 26:18.

Gentiles switch with Israel!
And if we are getting what Israel was offered but they rejected, then we are now the light of the world - children of light - sons of God!
Acts 13:47 - reverse it and see that we are now a light to the Jews and to the rest of the world!
Romans 13:11,12  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
II Corinthians 4:6,7  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
II Corinthians 6:14  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Ephesians 5:8-11  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:  (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
I Thessalonians 5:5   Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
I Peter 2:9,10   But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:  Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
II Peter 1:19  We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
I John 1:5   This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
I John 2:8   Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

Proverbs 14:25   A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. (Not an educated witness, but a true one!)
If we don't do a true witness, in talk AND in walk (not the holy bondage walk, but for the Love of God in return and with peace & joy) to a point where others ask about that hope that lieth within, it won't happen!   It won't!   If it does, it will someone getting saved by the skin of their teeth but it doesn't usually stick for them.  They either do Luke 4:12,13 or 14!!!

A true Witness walks the KINGDOM OF GOD, not the Kingdom of Heaven!

Romans 14:17  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

John 17:23:I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

****Philippians 4:8,9  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Thyself before thy neighbor!!!
Jesus said:  Luke 10:27  And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Paul also said: Romans 13:9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  Galatians 5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Hey, Paul has more 'do's and 'don't's than Jesus taught!  Jesus preached the Kingdom of Heaven - Paul preached the Kingdom of God!

Know the difference and walk the difference!

They ejected His witness, but they could not reject His record!  It was a proven true record.
How abour your witness?  Yes, others can reject it and reject you - but be sure to give them the same record!  But if any man love God, the same is known of him!  I Corinthians 8:3

We must put forth BOTH WILLS of God!
1) everlasting life
2)  everlasting inheritance
John 6:38-40

We Are His True Witness for This Day!!!
You and your KJB!
The Book has the talk and we are to have the joyous walk...
and not the holy bondage walk, but the "love towards God" walk!


8.  Jesus Christ Himself
...To ALL - saved (Judgment Seat) & lost, deceived(White Throne Judgment) - I Timothy 3:1-7 and rebellious - Romans 1:18-32!

His Kingdom is not now...
John 18:36  Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

...but HE will be the final witness.
THEN WILL IT BE "Thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven!"

It Will be NOW!

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 1:5-7  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,  And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Romans 14:11  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Philippians 2:10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Revelation 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness...

And they still will blaspheme Him - in spite of the final witness and the final record!!!!!!!!
Revelation 16:9  And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Revelation 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Revelation 16:21  And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.


Bonus sermon - warning!
How the devil corrupts these witnesses!
 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil,
and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
Luke 8:12

1.  John the Baptist!
Preaches and teaches water baptism for remission of sins.

2.  Works of Jesus Christ!
Preaches and teaches that the works of Jesus Christ can be done today.

3.  God Himself!
Preaches and teaches the spirit of antichrist.

4.  Scriptures!
Preaches and teaches hundreds of corrupted manuscripts and bibles, etc.

5.  Apostles!
Preaches and teaches that the works of the apostles and the early church are great for building churches today.

6.  Paul!
Preaches and teaches Peter, Moses, angels, visions, etc. and mixes Paul's teachings with the gospels.  Wrongly picking after a Biblical education instead of rightly dividing straight from the Scriptures.

7.  Us!
a.  Make us a false witness through our unlearned mouth or the lazy rebellious and spoiled walk of the Christian who has 'it all now' but more willing to lose it all later!   (take the OT commandments of not bearing false witness and see that Paul also warns us to not bear false witness.(Romans 13:9)  Does our walk bear false witness?  Does our talk bear false witness?)

We must talk AND walk a true witness, not a false witness!

Proverbs 6:19  A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs 12:17  He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
Proverbs 14:5  A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
Proverbs 21:28  A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
Proverbs 24:28  Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
b.  Allowed Luke 8:12-14 to become all too real in their lives!
c.  Tricked others into thinking they are saved but instead will have to claim James 5:1-6 that their riches kept the word choked in their lives!
d.  Kept folks out of their Bible - away from doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness!
e.  Stick to book chapter verse and ignore the spirit of the law for the letter of the law!  You can miss God's understanding and wisdom in your daily application of the Scriptures if you are not careful. Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

8.  Jesus Christ!
Devil comes himself pretending to be Jesus Christ in Revelation 6!
