Hidden Under The “Shadow” Chapter 9 For This We Have Jesus
It has been quite some time since I have place up a posting up on one of Mother Wilson teachings from her book called, “Hidden Under the Shadow.” Mother Wilson wrote this book in 1993 and she placed the book in my hands November 11, 1994. Within the little stable little white booklet, that she was so proud of was a personal message, handwritten, inside of the book for me. Little did we know that when she gave me the booklet that God would use me to place her message on the internet because internet had not yet became a way of life. Mother Wilson just knew that God would extend her ministry and that she would reach a large group of people for Him. I remember her telling me every time I would visit her in that storefront. Mother Wilson would constantly in a faithful manner, confess to me that God was going to use her to reach a large amount of people for Jesus Christ, Guess what? God used me to help Him keep His promise to her.
Please
read Mother Wilson message. Thank you
Pastor Tate.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them
afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that
they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hidden Under The “Shadow”
Chapter 9
For This We Have Jesus
When
impossible things become possible, they are made possible through the power of
faith. In Mark 9:23, Jesus said unto him: IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE
POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH.” This includes us as well, there are some
things that are beyond human power. But
Divine Power can bring them to pass. He
is our Lord and Christ and there is not a person on the face of the fill himself
with God’s Spirit. His Grace give freely
to those who ask Him in faith. Faith is
the Key, required to walk a strong walk with God.
Jesus
can satisfy the deepest longing and answer the deepest question in our
lives. Some may say, I have Faith, but
nevertheless God knows our hearts, and when He see fit, He will give us what we
need, read Luke 18:18-30. One of the
Great teachings of the Bible is that a person cannot save Himself without
God. A man cannot by food works, earn
salvation, nor by sacrificing himself.
Salvation comes from God’s Graces as a gift to man in response to his or
her faith in God, and obedience to His Word.
It is in our Fears, that we believe God won’t do it, or beliefs in what
others might say, or could it possibly be the fact that we just don’t have the
faith to believe. We must be Mountain
Movers. We can become confused as to
what God wants us to say or do, or whether He wants us to give up all our
possessions to be saved, or just simply have faith. When He sees we are confused, He answers to
all of us in Mark 10:27. WITH MEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT NOT WITH GOD, FOR WITH
GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.”
It
is time, that we as children of God, come face to face with ourselves, and
stand up and act upon what God has given us in His Word. Mark 11:23-24. This includes living by the Word. I myself have to say: “I can have anything if
I just believe.” Don’t limit God. Let us
stand firm on the Word of God. We all
need Power beyond ourselves. This power
comes from prayer. Although we may utter
words, and sincerely plea from our Hearts, the answer to our prayers come, only
from God. Don’t look at the mountain,
look at Jesus, don’t look at the circumstances, look at Jesus, Let us keep our
eyes steadfast on the Lord. We need to walk on Spiritual waters as Peter did,
Matthew 14:28. I can guarantee, that you
will have the thrill of your lifetime because this will allow God to do what He
wants to do. I am just waiting to see
all He is going to do for us. There is
no power on earth, no demon in hell that can stop Him. Yes, our faith, and you have faith, the waves
cannot override us. We can make it,
walking on Spiritual waters, if we but simply keep our eyes on Jesus.

Prophet, Prophecy
What is Prophecy?
A
couple of months ago one of my Face Book friends asked me a question.
Pastor
Tate what is a Prophet? Today I felt the
Lord wanted me, to address the question.
Some
people have had the experience of prophesying but that does not make them a
prophet. Some times the environment can
be set, through praise and worship where people in that environment will bring
forth a prophecy because there is a high anointing or presence of God in the
environment. However, this person may not walk in the office of a prophet. King Saul is a good example of a person that
was in an environment full of prophets who were prophesying and he too
prophesied, but was not a prophet.
I Samuel 19:21-24 King James
21. And when it was told Saul, he sent other
messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the
third time, and they prophesied also.
22. Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a
great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David?
And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23. And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and
the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he
came to Naioth in Ramah.
24. And he stripped off his clothes also, and
prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and
all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
The word “Naioth” means “dwelling.” “Ramah”
means “high.” The Spirit of the Living
God was there, so even evil people can prophesizes if God has chosen them to do
such and be accurate.
Many
people who have experience this, often think and believe that they are prophets
and will go around giving people false prophecies and not be in a “Naioth” or
“Ramah” environment because God used them for a certain situation. However, little do people know that there is
a great difference in prophesying and actually being called into the five-fold
ministry as a prophet.
Ephesians 4:11-14 King James Version
11. And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of
the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14. That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the
sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
A
Prophet is someone who speaks by divine inspiration. A Prophet is someone who is an interpreter of
the will of God. Prophets are use of God
as an intermediary (go-between) with humanity delivering new founded knowledge
from the supernatural, accordingly to
the Word of God, to other human beings.
The
English word for “Prophet” or “seer,” is “nabi” “roch,” and “hozeh.”
“Nabi” literally means “to bubble up” this word describes one who is stirred up
in the spirit. “Bubbling” up means to
speak and to declare, hopefully it is the Word of God and not your own words
you are using in order to impress folks.
The Word of God is to be spoken to others in order to build them up in their spirit man and to give them a desire to get
closer to God.
“Bubbling up” means “speaking
to declare,” therefore, a prophet is an announcer; a person who pours forth the declaration of God
according to the Word of God. Notice I said, accordingly to the Word of God.
“Roeh”
“Roeh” means “to see” or “to perceive” describes one who is a “revealer” of
“secrets,” “revelation” one who “envision.”
Prophet
is just a person or it can be sometimes a thing, and God sometimes uses things,
to prophesized with; one who speaks for another, a representative who carries a
message, an expounder of God’s Word this is a “prophet.”

Acts 1:1-5 King James Version
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.1 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Name the mountain where Jesus is to return
on His second coming?
Answer:
Mt. of Olives
Acts 1:9-12 King James Version
9.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a
cloud received him out of their sight.
After Jesus ascension the disciples where
warned by two angels to depart, and to set their minds upon his second coming
10.
And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men
stood by them in white apparel; 11. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee , why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same
Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as
ye have seen him go into heaven.
They accordingly return, and, giving
themselves to prayer, choose Matthias apostle in the place of Judas
12.
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount
called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem

Acts Chapter 1
Introduction:
I
told you before we started talking about Father’s Day with our topic “Can You
Really Have a Family without the Father in the Midst?” that Acts recorded, and indicated to us that
it was Luke who wrote the book of Acts. The Book was the second of two volumes
that Luke wrote, the first being Luke’s Gospel. Here are the scriptures that
confirm this.
Luke 1-1-4 King James Version
1.
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of
those things, which are most, surely believed among us, 2. Even as they
delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and
ministers of the word three. It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order,
most excellent Theophilus, 4. That thou mightest know the certainty of those
things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Acts 1:1-5 King James Version
In this portion of scriptures Christ is
preparing his apostles for his ascension into heaven. Jesus gathers them
together at the Mount Olivet , and commands them to go into Jerusalem
1 The former treatise have I made, O
Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 Until the day in
which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given
commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3 To whom also he shewed
himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them
forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4 And,
being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye
have heard of me.1 5 For John truly
baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days
hence.
I also talked about how Luke had written Acts in first and third person; that Luke was
with Paul on some of his journeys.
.jpg)
What is the Value of teaching about Acts?
First,
we need an intelligent understanding of the New Testament. From some of the
teaching I been hearing, especially concerning the work of the Holy Spirit, many
people do not have a very good understanding of the Holy Spirit or of the role
of the church. The book of Acts gives us a better understanding of the Holy
Spirit and how the church has affected World History through the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives and bring forth healing.
It
is in Acts that Luke places before us what the church is to be and do. Luke
explains to us the missions and the commission of the church. Luke begins by giving us the
mandate’s and the source, with the emphasizes on the divine power that is
needed to be apply in a manner consistent with its purpose or design, and Luke therefore portrays the power of the Holy Ghost, who
divinely worked in us and who brought
results in individual lives and in the dynamic fellowship that is in the church. Lack
of change is a lack of the Holy Spirit in the life of an individual or a corporate body of Believers. This is what Luke and Acts shows us. No change in a individual person or corporate body of believers means there is no Holy Spirit. You cannot be in the presences of the Lord and there not be a change in your behavior or character.
Luke
begins to explain to us the building of the church by the Holy Spirit, by giving
us a brief history of what happen prior to the empowering of the Holy Spirit. It
is important for us to understand and know that it is the power of the Holy
Spirit that empowers “give or delegate power or authority to the church”. We
need to understand that the church must complete the mandate to preach the
gospel over the whole world and to preach its truth and not our own. This is
what we have been given by the power of the Holy Spirit to do.
Preparation for Pentecost
Luke,
with divine skills, begins in Acts by getting us to look backwards; Luke lays
the groundwork for his second volume of historical narrative of the beginning
of the church, as we know it today. In this "beginning, in the beginning
of Acts" Luke centering on preparation for the coming of the empowering
Holy Spirit of the living God. We need to hear his claim that by the Spirit's
power the church will fulfill its mandate of preaching the gospel to the ends
of the earth. What a difference that will make in how we offer or receive this
message! However, I do not see the church talking about the Holy Spirit as much
and the sad part is this, there are many people who are preaching who do not
have the Holy Spirit and have not experience the power of the Holy Spirit in
working in their lives.
Jesus charges the disciples that they were to
be his witnesses to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8 King James Version
8. However, ye shall receive power, after that the Holy
Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem , and in all Judaea, and in Samaria
Luke 1:1-5 King James Version
1
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of
those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even as they delivered
them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the
word; 3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all
things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent
Theophilus, 4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein
thou hast been instructed. 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea , a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course
of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
.jpg)
Luke
wants us to know that this was a generous church and a growing church. This church was devoted to prayer and to the
teachings of the apostles. They feared the Lord and they had respect for the
laws of God. This was a generous and growing church. I have found that the
generous churches are the growing churches. I have told many a pastor that if
they wanted their church to grow that they needed to have a strong outreach. Many
of them are so egotistical they think all they need to do is to be able to preach and that their
preaching is some how going to win people over not if you do not have the power
of the Holy Ghost in it your preaching means nothing. How
are you going to win people over when you have not won God over? We win God
over by being generous and then we see the church grow in membership.
The
church in Act fear God, meaning they had respect for God. People today have no
respect for anything. No respect for life of the unborn from the womb. I found
out last week that there was also a tremendous disrespect for fatherhood now as
in the natural so it is in the Spiritual realm.
Meaning there is no respect for the Father. No
respect for nothing. No feelings of profound respect for someone or something.
It is not there. This fears; this respect for God and of God is why the early
church was able to see miracles. The lack of the fear for God is the reason the
church of today cannot see miracles of God.
Acts 9:34 King James Version
34.
And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and
make they bed. And he arose immediately,
What
we are seeing is the power of Jesus Christ, working through men after his
ascension.
I
feel God wants me to talk about the lack of fear for Him for a moment or
two.
Psalm 3:10 King James Version
The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they
that do his commandments: his praise endures forever.
We
don’t recall the Works of the Lord, we do not understand the providence, meaning
the guardianship and control exercised by a God towards this world. We don’t understand it and to make matters
worse we do not respect the idea that God is in control. What is so sad we see
death all around us yet we do not fear what is beyond that grave. We don’t know, or respect God’s covenants we
do not respect God’s promise or prophecies.
If they did our government would not be trying to give Israel Israel United States
Redemption
was given to Israel
Proverbs 1:7 New International Version
The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 3: 5-6
“Trust
in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In
all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”
Proverbs 8: 32-35
32. Now
therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 33.Hear
instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34. Blessed
is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of
my doors. 35. For
whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD”
Instead
of the church teaching the nation being leaders, we are following and bringing the
ways of the world into the church. The
other night I was watching one teaching on T.B.N network and they had this girl preaching,
wearing natural color super skin tight tights and black nail polish.
Her appearance alone said to me; Holy Ghost is not done with her, and that it
was not her season to be preaching, yet T.B.N. were compromising because we have no
fear of the Lord, we do not know what are the signs that a person truly has the Holy Spirit and sanctification has taken place. I am going to stop here for right now.

Morning Cup Biblical Trivial Questions
When John was in Prison, what did he tell his disciples to ask Jesus?
Answer: Are you the One (Messiah) or do we look for another?
Matthew 11:3 King James Version
Morning Cup Faith without Works is Dead Meditation
I will work to free myself from old guilt. Knowing that I am a worthy person, I will find the strength to endure in Jesus name.
Can You Really Have a Family Without The Father in the Midst?
For Family is a Derivative of the Word Father:
When I use the word “derived” I am saying that the idea, language, term, or other things was developed from this word “Father” into something that is similar to it.
Now here is a play on words and I will get in to more details with this later on this week. “Can you really have a family without the Father Mist in the Midst?”
But right now I want to let you know that if it had not been for the “Father” there would be no "family."
No Fathers in the home is because “The Father” is not in the Home!!!! As in the natural realm so it is spiritually realm because God is creator of both realms. They run parallel with one another; the natural just reflects what is going on in the Spiritual realm.
Is the Mist within your Midst of your Family!!!
Mathew 18: 19-20 King James Version
19. Again I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
“Can you really have a family without the Father in the midst?” We must come to an understanding that if we are to know the role of a family, we first must understand the role of the Father. The word family, familia, or familiar is a derivative of the word father. When I say that familia, family or familiar is a derivative of the word father, what I am saying is that the word family, familiar familial, has been taken from another word, the original word for the word family or familial comes from the word “Father.” I think God is trying to tell us something. “Can there really be a family without the father, who is the originator of the family in the midst?”
The Word Family
The word family means a household establishment; a family is a group of people living in the same house. A family is a social unit consisting of parents and children that they rear. And they are supposed to be the children of the same parents. A family is also people that have the same ancestry or marriage relatives. Families are all of those claiming descent from a common ancestor; tribe or clan; and the lineage comes from the father. We are the family of the house hold of Faith. “Can you really have a family without The Father in the “Midst??” Which is the location of something surrounded by other things; for example your environment.
Familial:
Is your family familiar with God?
Familial speak of being familiar with the household, domestic, having to do with a family. Familial or being familiar means that you are able to be friendly, informal or intimate with the people with in that group. Familial speaks of a person having intimate knowledge of a person, or being closely acquainted with a person or persons. The word familial means to have an encounter, to be commonly known, to be well known, or acquaintance with; to be familiar is to be attune (which means to be brought into harmony with someone.) If you have the “Father” “Mist” “shekinah glory” “the covering of God” in your midst (environment) you will be attune with the members in your family. Is Jesus the “Father” the Head of your household?
God is Father
One of the titles we call God is Father. As it is in the natural so it is in the spiritual, there can never be a real family without the “Father” in the midst (environment). This is why we have so many divorces in today families, because “The Father” is not in the midst. The manifestation of the present day absents fathers, reflects the spiritual conditions of most of the homes in our community. I don’t care how much they shout and preach, “God,” “The Father” is not in their midst in the home. What we can see, taste, touch, smell and hear is reflecting what we cannot taste, touch, smell, and see in the spiritual realm. The fact that the divorce rate has increase over 50%, in and out of the church in the last 30 years, touches us, shows us, and speaks to our ears in a loud voice, that the “Father” is not in the midst God mist is not in their midst.
Divorce in the Church
Pastors, minister, teachers, evangelist, deacons and preachers are divorcing at an alarming rate, how can you believe God for me, how can you pray for me, if you can’t believe God for yourself, and at home in your own private life in the midst. Who isn't save, him or her? Both of you are claiming to be save, then why are you doing such a violent act and are divorcing. Someone isn't saved, yet you both profess Christ and claim to serve Christ in the Church, yet you both live apart, in different homes. Spreading a spirit of rejection, separation and divorce in the church, in the midst amongst Gods people.
I must remind the reader and listener that the anointing runs from the “Head Down” to the congregation.
The anointing runs from the head down, and so does the iniquities which are the violation of God’s justice. When leadership violates a spiritual law of God and does not repent, Satan is thus given legal right to pass on that same oppression into the church body; which is a representative of a whole spiritual man in Christ Jesus
I have seen what happens to a church when it leaders divorce. People began to take sides, and fall away from the Lord. Arguments develop on whom was the cause of the failure of the marriage, between members. Divorce within leadership gives the demon spirits of divorce, separation and division grounds to attack weak Christians within that congregation. What our leaders do will affect us spiritually, because we are the body of Christ. Theses next few scriptures expresses God’s anger towards families that do not serve or honor him by getting along. Can you really have a Family without the Father in the Midst?
Ps. 68:8 KJV
8 . God setteth the solitary in families he bringeth out those which
which are bound with chains: but rebellious dwell in dry land.
Notice that God uses the word “solitary” which means something that has a firm shape and volume, that which is not hollow. Are you hollow in your thinking? To have solitary means that you have height, weight, and lengths in the things, concerning your relationship with the Lord. God has promise us in His word that in Him we will have solitary in our families. “Now that’ an encouraging word?
Amos 3:2 King James Version
2.You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
The word “iniquities” means absence of moral or spiritual values.
The word “iniquities” means morally objectionable behavior.
The word “iniquities” also means an unjust act
Can you really have a family without the "Father’s Mist in the Midst"?
Our families and we belong to Him; God will discipline us when we are wrong.
Ephesians 3:15-16 King James Version
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.
Can you really have a Family without the Father in the Midst?
Matthew 18:19-20 King James Version
19. Again I say unto you, That if two or you shall agree on
earth as touching anything that they ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

A Mother is a Wife and a Wife is a Mother Part One
Trivial Question
Question: How long did Jesus tell thee disciples they
should have watched and prayed, when they were at the Garden of Gethsemane
Answer: One (1) Hour Matthew 26:40
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth
them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Mother is a Wife and a Wife is a Mother
A mother is a person who carries and gives
birth to a child, then that mother then cares for that child. She must nurture
the child as the child grows into adulthood. A mother is a wife; she is the
female marriage partner. In reality,
this is what a wife is supposed to be, she is to have the role of a mother. She
is to love, support her husband, and their children. In addition, sexually
satisfied her husband and most of all have children. Be fruitful and multiply
in the earth. There was a tremendous shame, disgrace, and
dishonor that were place on a woman’s reputation, which was not able to have
children within the community in which the woman lived in. It is not that way today, the role of the
mother has been perverted for the most part, the role of the mother has been
strip and now you have mothers who have lost their natural affections.
We will start out talking about Sari.
Genesis
16:1-4 King James Version
1. Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children:
and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2. And
Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I
pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And
Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3. And
Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten
years in the land
of Canaan
4. And
he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had
conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
In
Genesis, which means “beginnings,” the Bible talks of Sarai, being barren, and
she gives Hagar to Abram “to wife.” Remember what our topic is about. “A wife is a mother and a mother is a wife.”
We
find that children always represents, newest of life. Children and their new beginning it is the
only immortality on this earth that a man or woman has. The word “barren” in this portion of
scriptures means incapable of sustaining life; ("the dead and barren
Moon"). The moon has no trees, no water, and no oxygen. Therefore, the moon cannot bring forth life
or even sustain life. This is what is
what the Bible is saying when the Bible talks about a woman who is “barren.” Barren
also means providing no shelter or sustenance. Sustenance meaning that what
needs to be eaten to sustain a person's body; food, esp. food containing the
required vitamins and energy is not there.
Being
“barren” can also mean not having financial means whereby one lives. To be “barren” means to be completely
wanting or lacking. However, for the
most part when most of us heard the word “barren” in the Bible we just think of
a woman who cannot have children or off springs. Little do we know that our physical condition
is usually a reflection of what is going on with us spiritually. Sad thing about today’s society is; we are
choosing to be barren.
Being
“barren” can also mean not having financial means whereby one lives. To be “barren” means to be completely
wanting or lacking. However, for the
most part when most of us heard the word “barren” in the Bible we just think of
a woman who cannot have children or off springs. Little do we know that our physical condition
is usually a reflection of what is going on with us spiritually. Sad thing about today’s society is; we are
choosing to be barren.
Remember,
when a woman gives life she must not only give the life, but sustain the life
until it is of age and able to sustain the life itself This is what we teach
our children as the grow into teens, this is why it is such a tragedy when we
see young people giving birth to a baby, because we know unless the parents of
the teens intervenes the life of the baby will not be able to be sustain in a
proper way in which the baby can grow up and bring forth healthy fruit in his
or her life.
I have often watch some of these talk shows host, who makes tons of money in
exploiting the lives of some of these young men, and women who come on their
show. For example, Steve Wilkos who is a break
off of Jerry Springer show, a person who I think has done a lot of harm in the
long run to our society. These producers
get these young women and men on their stage and bad mouth, scream at them and
humiliate them, to me they are ignorant because, for the most part the reason
these people are not good parents is because, they have had parents that were
verbally abusive to them when they were children. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. We can learn from the Bible how to raise our children and how to be a mother and wife.
These
parents some, were molested and rape as children, they too saw a lot of drugs and
alcohol use in the family. They are
truly the product of their environment.
If you know what the definition of a mother is then “Steve,” you would
not be yelling at them telling them to get the “hell” off of your stage.
These
host of these show that are not professional in helping people, in themselves need help. There behavior is much like the parents that these people who
are doing all this weird stuff came out from or was raise in is and that is why
they are mess up trying to nurture children. You don't grow up just being a
good parent; you are taught how to parent by your parents.
People reacting to poor parenting parents in
this manner is not helping the children or the parent, in fact it is making the
situation worse. Remember a mother is a person who carries and
gives birth to a child, then that mother cares for that child. What does it mean to care for a child 1)
care, charge, protection, guardianship -- (attention and management implying
responsibility for safety; like how a bodyguard or secret service protects
President Obama. This is what a mother
does, however, if you are grown and you make it to adulthood with no parental
protection, you figure in the subconscious of your mind that your child will
make it too. Those parenting skills are passed on. Therefore, Steve you need to
get off of the stage with all that yelling, this is why they are mess up. To be a mother and a wife you must go to the Bible to get the answers you will need to make it.

The Resurrection
Morning Cup of Word on live365.com/stations/thecrowngem
Description
What do I hope that you will learn from
this teaching?
I
want the Believer in Christ Jesus to really know and understand what the Word
“Resurrection” really means. In addition, I want the believer to also be able
to understand that their salvation is based purely upon the Believer believing
the “report" of the Bible that God raised Jesus from the grave.
To
not believe in the “resurrection” means
that you have no salvation. It is not
the belief in Jesus Christ, mainly that saves you, but it is the belief that
God raised Jesus from the dead. This is
how you received salvation. This is why
I say that, the Bible says this in James.
James 2:19 King James Version
19.
You believe that there is one God; you do well: the demons also believe, and
tremble.
Many people, of many different cultures
believe that Jesus walk and talked on the earth, but they do not believe in the
“resurrection.” They do not believe that
Jesus is the Son of God. This is what makes a big difference between being saved
and not being saved. For example, let us look at what
Romans 10: 9-12 has to say.
9. 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.
10. For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation.
11. For
the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12. For
there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over
all is rich unto all that call upon him.
What
are we to confess?
We are to confess that “God hath raised Jesus from the
dead,” then we shall be saved. We must believe this and we must confess
this. Confess meaning we must admit to the truth that is in the
Word of God to ourselves, our families and outside our homes; knowing that many
may feel that what we are accepting as truth is offensive.
The
key to our salvation is in verse 9 “believe in thine heart that God hath raised
him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
This
is the key, to our salvation. However, in my eye sight the Organize church is
basing too much of the plan of salvation on earthly things, when in reality it
is a spiritual belief system of eternal life of the hereafter that brings us
to salvation. This is what I want to
get across to my followers on the radio, video and blogs. That it is the believing on the death, burial
and resurrection of Jesus Christ is how we are saved. The trouble is how do I express this on
paper, audio and video. This is what I have been prayerfully minded
of.
Jesus is the Resurrection
Jesus
stated that He was the resurrection and the life. The Gospels shows us that Jesus offer mankind
life not death. Many today do not preach this; they preach everything but the “Resurrection
of Jesus Christ” which is an act of salvation for mankind. I think it is the
plan of Satan is to keep man away from
the reasoning that we are save and what saves us is believing on the
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:3
3. But if our gospel be hid,
it is hid to them that are lost:
4. In whom the god of this
world has blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the
image of God, should shine to them.
2 Corinthians 3:14
13. But their minds were blinded: for until this day
remains the same veil not taken away in the reading of the Old Testament.
To have a blind-mind is to have Mind-Blindness.
The
Bible is saying that there is a cognitive disorder; meaning there is a group of
mental processes that includes attention, memory, producing and understanding
language, learning, reasoning, problem solving, and decision making that is not
functioning properly because the devil is at work with their minds on a serious
level. The unbeliever is not able to
have the belief system that is pleasing to God.
The Bible is saying that these people who think salvation is a joke lack
mental awareness of the spiritual world, which the Gospel of Jesus Christ
speaks of. They are suffering spiritual autism, dementia and they are spiritually
bi-polar. Therefore, they cannot
understand the Bible at all. Why argue
can’t you see that they are autistic people that are not able to conceptualize
or understand the scriptures? Therefore, stop wasting your time and just pray
for them.
Roman 10:9-11 King James Version
The
“Resurrection” of Jesus Christ is not mention or preaches about that much, because the "god of this world" has blinded their eyes.
People for the most part are not able to see or have a visual perception of the
power of the resurrection. Thereby, they
do not understand that it is the “resurrection,” of Jesus Christ by the Father,
which seals our future as far as eternal life is concern. The disciples knew this and this is why they
were so willing to give up their live and suffer because they understood the
ministry of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I think one of the reasons many do not preach
that much about the “resurrection” is because deep down inside most people
today do not believe in the “supernatural.” To really have faith in the
resurrection power of Jesus Christ you must believe in the “supernatural.” I feel if Believers really
believed in the supernatural power of the resurrection, we would see more
miracles being performed in the Church.
II Timothy 3:5 King James Version
5.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, from such turn
away.
Salvation is the supernatural power of
God raising Jesus from the grave. If you
can believe that you can believe God for anything.
Romans 10:9-11 King James Version verse
9 being the key verse the Bible says;
9.
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.
10. For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth
on him shall not be ashamed.
Confess
that God has raised him from the dead = salvation.
In
the English language the word “confess” means a statement made by a person
acknowledging some personal fact.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Rom 10:8 On the contrary, what does it say? The message is
near you, in your mouth and in your heart. This is the message of faith that we
proclaim:
Rom
10:9 If you confess with your mouth,
“Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved.
Rom
10:10 One believes with the heart,
resulting in righteousness, and one
confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.
Believe
in heart + confess with mouth = salvation.
The Bible speaks, even before Jesus
crucifixion, of the resurrection.
It is in this chapter that we learn about one
of the most famous miracles of Jesus Christ ministry is when he raised Lazarus
from the dead. You maybe are wondering why of the entire
miracle Jesus performed why this miracle is the most important miracle of all
of Jesus miracles. It is because, it is
this miracle that speaks and proves what the most important mission or charge
the Father had assigned Jesus Christ to do.
It wasn’t turning water into wine, although
that is a powerful miracle. It was not
the feeding of the five thousand, although that was off the hook. God is trying to show us why He sent Jesus,
why He gave His only begotten son, and it all happens in “Bethany
It
is in John 11 that we see and learn what the true mission of Jesus Christ
is. It is not the feeding of the five
thousand, it is not turning water into wine, it is not healing the sick, but it
is the resurrection of the death into life.
This is the mission of Jesus Christ.
The
sad thing is people still have the mentality to look for miracles that give
physical or self gratification, un able to see the real purpose why God sent
Christ to die for us.
John 11:1-4 King James Version
1. Now
a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary
2. (It
was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with
her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3.
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou
lovest is sick.
4. When
Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness
is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be
glorified thereby.
The
Bible shares with us that Lazarus, Martha and Mary lived in "Bethany" which means
“God is our Help.” And some say that the name Bethany Bethany"
The City
Today
Bethany is identified with today West Bank City
The
city is located on the Mount of Olives towards
the eastern slopes. Bethany
sat two miles southeast of Jerusalem Bethany Mount of Olives
was a home to Martha and Mary and their brother Lazarus. Jesus stopped at Bethany on each journey to Jerusalem
John 11:18 King James Version
18. Now Bethany
was nigh unto Jerusalem
What was the Role of this City
It
is in this city that we learn about one of the most famous miracles of Jesus
Christ ministry is when he raised Lazarus from the dead. Why this miracle of all of Jesus miracles
was is of the most important? It is
because this miracle speaks and proves what the most important the mission or
charge the Father had assigned Jesus Christ to do.
It
was this miracle that demonstrated the power and authority of Jesus
Christ. It is in this portion of
scripture and it was there in "Bethany"
There
are other things that took place at Bethany, for example, Simon the Leper
(Matthew 26:6; Mark 14:3)
Matthew 26:1-12 King James Version
1. And
it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his
disciples,
2. Ye
know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is
betrayed to be crucified.
3. Then
assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the
people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4. And
consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5. But
they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6. Now when Jesus was in Bethany
7. There came unto him a woman having an
alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat
at meat.
8. But
when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is
this waste?
9. For
this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10.
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman?
for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11. For
ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12. For in that she hath poured this ointment on
my body, she did it for my burial.
We
see that not only was Bethany a place of friendship, peace and comfort, but
Bethany was a place preparing Jesus and the disciplines of Jesus resurrection
for it was there in Bethany that they watch Jesus ascension into heaven.
Key
verses 29 but to get a better understanding we should read the whole chapter.
Luke
19: 29-38 King James Version
It
was at Bethany
29.
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at
the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30.
Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your
entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and
bring him hither.
31. And
if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because
the Lord hath need of him.
32. And
they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33. And
as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye
the colt?
34. And
they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35. And
they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they
set Jesus thereon.
36. And
as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37. And
when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the
whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud
voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38.
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace
in heaven, and glory in the highest.
Luke 24:50-53 King James Version
45. Then opened he their understanding, that they
might understand the scriptures,
46. And
said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and
to rise from the dead the third day:
47. And
that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem
48. And
ye are witnesses of these things.
49. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon
you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem
50. And
he led them out as far as to Bethany
51. And
it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up
into heaven.
52. And
they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem
53. And
were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
In
this chapter we have the history of that illustrious miracle which Christ
wrought a little before his death—the raising of Lazarus to life, which is
recorded only by this evangelist; for the other three confine themselves to
what Christ did in Galilee, where he resided most, and scarcely ever carried
their history into Jerusalem till the passion-week: whereas John’s memoirs
relate chiefly to what passed at Jerusalem; this passage therefore was reserved
for his pen. Some suggest that, when the other evangelists wrote, Lazarus was
alive, and it would not well agree either with his safety or with his humility
to have it recorded till now, when it is supposed he was dead. It is more
largely recorded than any other of Christ’s miracles, not only because there
are many circumstances of it so very instructive and the miracle of itself so
great a proof of Christ’s mission, but because it was an earnest of that which
was to be the crowning proof of all—Christ’s own resurrection. Here is, I. The
tidings sent to our Lord Jesus of the sickness of Lazarus, and his
entertainment of those tidings (v. 1-16). II. The visit he made to Lazarus’s
relations when he had heard of his death, and their entertainment of the visit
(v. 17-32). III. The miracle wrought in the raising of Lazarus from the dead
(v. 33-44). IV. The effect wrought by this miracle upon others (v. 45-57).
5. Now
Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6. When
he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same
place where he was.
7. Then
after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea
again.
8. His
disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and
goest thou thither again?
9.
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk
in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10. But
if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11.
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend
Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12.
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13.
Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of
taking of rest in sleep.
14.
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15. And
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe;
nevertheless let us go unto him.
16.
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples,
Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17.
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days
already.
18. Now
Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem
19. And
many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their
brother.
20.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met
him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21.
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother
had not died.
22. But
I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23.
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24.
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
25.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26. And whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27. She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that
thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28. And
when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly,
saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29. As
soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30. Now
Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met
him.
31. The
Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw
Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth
unto the grave to weep there.
32.
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at
his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not
died.
33.
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which
came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
34. And
said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35.
Jesus wept.
36.
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37. And
some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have
caused that even this man should not have died?
38.
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a
cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39.
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was
dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead
four days.
40.
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest
believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41.
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast
heard me.
42. And
I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I
said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43. And
when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44. And
he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his
face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let
him go.
45.
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which
Jesus did, believed on him.
46. But
some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus
had done.
47.
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said,
What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
48. If
we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come
and take away both our place and nation.
49. And
one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto
them, Ye know nothing at all,
50. Nor
consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people,
and that the whole nation perish not.
51. And
this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied
that Jesus should die for that nation;
52. And
not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the
children of God that were scattered abroad.
53.
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to
death.
54.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence
unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there
continued with his disciples.
55. And
the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem
56.
Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in
the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57. Now
both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any
man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
Lazarus
was dead in the grave for four days, only Jesus knew that Lazarus would walk
again, or should I say “stand” again. Accordingly
to the scriptures Lazarus came back from the dead he was resurrected.
Jesus
is giving us a small bird eye view of what he would do the third day after his
crucifixion. He would rise from out of the grave. Jesus would show that death has no power over
him and if we believe on the name of Jesus Christ death would have no power
over us as well.
John 11:43 King James Version
43.
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come
forth.
44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand
and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus
saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and
had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
The Resurrection was predicted by Jesus.
It
was right after Jesus had raise Lazarus from the dead that he predicted his own
resurrection. Jesus makes this
prediction during his trial before the Roman and the Jewish leaders.
Matthew 26:60-64 King James Version
60. But found none: yea, though many false
witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61. And said, This fellow said, I am able to
destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62. And
the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it
which these witness against thee?
63. But
Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure
thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son
of God.
64. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said:
nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on
the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy;
what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his
blasphemy.
In
other words Jesus is saying you will answer to my Father and me!
People
would not believe it; when Jesus walked the earth and they cannot believe it
now; that Jesus could plan His own death and resurrection. In fact Jesus was advertising his death and
resurrection prior to it actually happening.
To the disciples they could not understand what He was talking about and
even now people cannot understand the resurrection and preach very little about
it.

The Resurrection Spoken by Isaiah
Even
in the Old Testament the death, burial and resurrection is mention, 700 years
in advance Isaiah speaks of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus
Christ. Isaiah calls Jesus the
suffering servant of God.
Isaiah 53 King James Version
1. Who
hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2. For
he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry
ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire him.
3. He
is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him
not.
4.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5. But
he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6. All
we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and
the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7. He
was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought
as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he
openeth not his mouth.
8. He
was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my
people was he stricken.
9. And
he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he
had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10. Yet
it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt
make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his
days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11. He
shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge
shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall
divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto
