The
Entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and study to apply the 'TO!"

Words
of Men or Words of Faith |
For this cause also thank we God without
ceasing, because,
when ye received the word of God which
ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men,
but as it is in truth, the word of God,
which effectually worketh also in you that
believe.
I Thessalonians 2:13
If thou put the brethren
in remembrance of these things,
thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus
Christ,
nourished up in the words of faith and
of good doctrine,
whereunto thou hast attained.
I Timothy 4:6
We Need Good Nourishment!
-
Isaiah 1:2 - Hear,
O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished
and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
-
So, the Jews refused His nourishment - and rebelled
against God!
-
What about the Gentiles? Have they rebelled
against God today? Yes
-
What about us right here in Touchet - and in the
web family? Are any of us in rebellion against God? Getting
closer?
-
words of faith
-
good doctrine
-
Paul - rightly divided!
-
words of Jesus Christ!
-
What about Corinthians?
-
ignored by the hyper-dispensationalists
-
beginning of the church?
-
prison epistles only?
-
grace only?
With that question in mind, let me show you what
is going on today in
most churches in America, including most KJB'ers.
From our recent sermon series on faith, we know we
must continue in the faith of Christ
-
Colossians 1:21,22 - And
you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present
you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
-
If not:
-
err concerning the faith
-
err from the faith
-
depart from the faith
-
weak in the faith
-
Colossians 1:23 -
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away
from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached
to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
-
continue in the faith...
-
be not moved away from the hope of the gospel...
-
which ye have heard...
-
whereof I Paul...
We must hold fast the form of sound words
-
II Timothy 1:13 - Hold
fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and
love which is in Christ Jesus.
-
which thou hast heard of me (Paul)
-
in faith... which is IN Christ Jesus.
-
in love... which is IN Christ Jesus.
They preach the word of faith!
Romans 10:8-11 -
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy
heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine
heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth
on him shall not be ashamed.
Has the word of faith come to the
Gentiles / us today?
-
Romans 10:8 - The
word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word
of faith, which we preach;
-
I Corinthians 13:8-10 - ...when
that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done
away. (since 1611)
-
I Thessalonians 2:13 - ...ye
received it not as the word of me, but as it is in truth, the word of God,
which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
-
Romans to Philemon
- isn't that
what they preached as the word of faith?
-
King James himself even he knew rightly dividing
affected them in his day!
-
He warns, "Prophecies and visions are now ceased,
all spirits that appear in these forms are evil."
We know we must stay in the KJB!
-
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.
-
That is our ONLY source of:
-
doctrine
-
reproof
-
correction
-
instruction in righteousness
-
Hebrews 4:12,13 - For
the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints
and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all
things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
We see that the 'end of the commandment' is charity out
of faith unfeigned!
-
Unfeigned - Real - not fake!
-
I Timothy 1:5-7 -
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a
good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved
have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law;
understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
-
a pure heart (coming
soon in sermon series)
-
good conscience (versus
a seared conscience)
-
faith unfeigned
-
many having swerved have turned aside unto
vain jangling
-
Desiring to be teaches of the law...
-
understanding neither what they say, nor whereof
they affirm.
-
Otherwise known as "They have no clue!"
-
ahhhhh, the dangers of a formal Bible education -
and religion!
Hear is the point I hope to make today:
"Great" Preaching is Replacing the KJB today!
Notice what Paul says here!
II Corinthians 3:2,3 - Ye
are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch
as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by
us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in
tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
The epistles today are the Epistles in the KJB.
-
It IS written in ink! Settled! Complete! Perfect!
One Book!
-
What those guys preached then is now the KJB!
-
Paul must be rightly divided, as well!
-
If not, then all the modern Christianity is right - Paul is wrong - totally.
Paul's gospel is accursed. Jesus will not use Paul's gospel to judge
us, etc.
Bible continues to be replaced with 'good' things!
-
Music is taking the place of the Book in modern churches!
-
even now in the Bible Believing churches!
-
music sample - from well-known traveling Christian family.
-
musical Christians are becoming 'conceited' with their talent and God's
miraculous use of their talent, etc.
-
their illustration of the boy with the lunch -
John 6:9 - feeding 5000 men.
-
God use our lives as if we were some miracle...
-
"The precious Hands that blessed and multiplied that lunch are still
more capable of using our lives if we are willing. It is in this
same hope we offer our music unto Him Who is the Song of Songs."
-
weak open chords
-
weak 3rd is doubled for the root
-
words are fluffy and sometimes sensual and feely good stuff!
Church has replaced not only the Book, but the family!
-
let the pastor and staff do it all - programs, etc.
-
to try to keep the family together and to try to teach the family!
-
church assembly is designed from Old Testament design of the temple and
how they worshipped God!
Preaching is taking the place of the KJB in the KJB churches!
-
Paul mentions the importance of preaching - of course.
-
The word of God was manifested through preaching by Paul in Titus
1:3
-
But they had no Bible!
-
So to hear Paul's preaching today, we must seek it all in the King James
Bible!
-
not from our heart only - fleshy tables of our heart?
-
How about from the "Mind of Christ?"
-
Let the modern folks go for the fleshy tables of their hearts!
-
not from claiming Paul's actions & manner of life that preceded the
KJB!
Today's preaching is causing people to:
-
err concerning the faith - I
Timothy 6:20,21 - profane and vain babblings -
-
err from the faith - I
Timothy 6:10 - buildings, $$$, buildings, expenses
-
depart from the faith - I
Timothy 4:1-3 - seducing spirits, doctrine of devils (flesh
appealing music, study books, programs, etc.)
-
become weak in the faith - Colossians
2:7,8 - philosophy, vain deceit, tradition of men, rudiments
of the world
-
BUT NOT AFTER CHRIST - Colossians
2:8
-
may be about Him, but not AFTER HIM!
-
ladies have even cast off and are doing their liberated thing even within
the churches - at the pastor's approval and insistence!
-
see Daniel 11:37 - Neither
shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard
any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Tonight, we will look at 'preaching' in part II
and how the King James Bible should be above the preaching today!
-
Yes, and OF COURSE, we still need preaching - good preaching - fresh preaching
- preaching for TODAY to us TODAY!
-
But we need preaching the word, not using the word to lift the preaching
and the preacher, church, etc.!
-
If you can't have the preaching, you STILL HAVE THE KJB!
-
Let Paul preach to you!
-
If your preacher isn't preaching Paul to you, you ought to leave - it is
that simple!
-
Unfortunately, most men have given their spiritual duty over to a pastor
for so long that when they have no pastor, the man suddenly realizes he
is helpless with his KJB - even if he is a strong KJB man, he doesn't know
what to do with it.
