Monday, 21 September 2015 and some of you are still in your sin of "Unbelief" and some are waiting for the trumpet to sound and we will be Changed, Maranatha. Hope you have a Bible and are reading the scriptures each and every day. I urge you to read the daily suggested scriptures before you spend any time with my comments. Pay attention to the dramatic change in the tone of the LORD's remarks recorded in Isaiah 40. Read and believe the promises offered and also the conditions related to those verses.
Lesson # 37 for the One Year Bible Class   Scriptures & Comments for class at VBC 27 September 2015.Merrill Unger said “ Isaiah…is the great messianic prophet and prince of OT seers. For splendor of diction, brilliance of imagery, versatility and beauty of style, profundity and breadth of prophetic vision, he is without peer.”Unger’s Bible Handbook, p.306. Jensen’s Survey of the Old Testament,p.333 VI.
Key Words and Verses “One of the key phrases of Isaiah is the “Holy One of Israel”. It is the prophet’s favorite reference to God, appearing more than twenty-five times in the book (first appearance at1:4). Isaiah is a book about “The Glorious Throne of Jehovah, the Holy One.” An appropriate key verse is “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory” (6:3).

Mon-21-Isaiah 37:1-38:22, Galatians 6:1-18, Psalm 65:1-13 & Proverbs 23:24. How did the LORD show Himself for Judah, encourage King Hezekiah and cause the king to pray? What did you learn about “how to pray” from your reading today? How does Galatians 6 relate to Isaiah 37 & 38 and Psalm 65?
As you read Ephesians consider the theme of “Christ and the Church”. Note these key verses, 1:22-23 & 2:8-10 & 2:19-20 and these key words: church, in Christ, in Him, heavenly places, according to, power, riches, glory, grace, Spirit and mystery.

Tue-22-Isaiah 39:1-41:16, Ephesians 1:1-23, Psalm 66:1-20 & Proverbs 3:25-26.How did pride influence the king today and how did he show selfishness? What prophecy did you note at chapter 40 & 41? How do you use Ephesians 1 in your testimony? What do you “Selah” about after reading Psalm 66 and Proverbs 23?
Wed-23-Isaiah 41:17-43:13, Ephesians 2:1-22, Psalm 67:1-7 & Proverbs 23:29-35. How did you see Genesis 1 and Job in Isaiah’s today? How many promises did the LORD make today? Have you been quickened as described in Ephesians 2? What warning is given in Proverbs 23 today?

Thu-24-Isaiah 43:14-45:10, Ephesians 3:1-21, Psalm 68:1-18 & Proverbs 24:1-2. What names, traits and attributes of God did you note in Isaiah 43, 44 & 45? How is the “Trinity” of God displayed in Ephesians 3?  What name of God did you gain in the Psalm 68?
Fri-25-Isaiah 45:11-48:11, Ephesians 4:1-16, Psalm 68:19-35 & Proverbs 24:3-4. What did the LORD say in Isaiah 45? What promise/prophecy is recorded in chapter 47?  Why will God defer his anger? What is your vocation? What is to be accomplished in the church? What benefits did God load on you today? Know God and gain knowledge.

Sat-26-Isaiah 48:12-50:11, Ephesians 4;17-32, Psalm 69:1-18 & Proverbs 24:5-6. If the wicked have no peace, what do those that are called have? What did the LORD engrave in His hand? What promise is associated with obedience in chapter 50? What have you learned about Christ because you read today? How is God’s Omniscience shown in Palm 69?
 Sun-27-Isaiah51:1-53:12, Ephesians 5:1-33, Psalm 69:19-36 & Proverbs 24:7. What did you learn about Jesus at Isaiah 53? Did you connect Ephesians 5 to Isaiah 53 and psalm 69? Before you go to war get wise counsel.

After reading Ephesians this week hopefully you have gained assurance of our heritage in Christ, we in Christ and Christ in us. We are reminded of “The work of God” leads us to “our walk as a Christian”. Yea, we are in Him and He is in us! Read to know Him.

Monday, 14 September 2015, and we are still waiting for the trumpet to sound and then we meet the Lord Jesus in the air, Maranatha, Amen. Hope you have been reading your Bible to know God. If you do not have a Bible then let us know and we will do our best to have a Bible sent to you at no cost.
These lesson comments are provided to all readers so that after reading the recommended daily scriptures you may consider these questions as hints to consider as you meditate. The ONLY and the BEST Teacher of the Word of God is the Holy Spirit. This is Lesson # 36 for the One Year Bible Class that will be conducted at  VBC 20 September 2015

As you continue to read the scriptures in Isaiah look for those prophecies that pertain to the coming Messiah. Isaiah will be dealing with the Nations surrounding Israel and both Judah and Israel for rejecting God. Be alert to the judgments of God and look also for the redemption of His people.
Mon-14-Isaiah 15:1-18:7, Galatians 1:1-24, Palm 58:1-11 & Proverbs 23:12. What attributes of God are shown and recorded by Isaiah? How does 17:10 impact your concept of God? What problem did Paul address in 1:6-7? How do you link Psalm 58:11 with the Proverb 23:12 to impact / change your conversation?

As you read Galatians note how Jesus Christ is portrayed as our Liberty. Read and hear the Gospel presented by Paul and note that some would come behind and add the Jewish requirements and obedience to the Law. Consider this as your letter of Christian Independence and read again John 8:36. Read to know God and believe Him.
Tue-15-Isaiah 19:1-21:17, Galatians 2:1-16, Psalm 59:1-17 & Proverbs 23:13-14. What will happen in Egypt One Day? What is the watchman to be and do? Can a man be justified by the works of the law? What do you sing unto the LORD after reading the scriptures? What will deliver a soul from hell?

Wed-16-Isaiah 22:1-24:23, Galatians 2:17-3:9 Psalm 60:1-12 & Proverbs 23:15-16. What attributes, traits and names of God are recorded in Isaiah 22-24? How did you relate Galatians 2:20 to your salvation? What will protect YOU from being bewitched? What name of God is given in Psalm 60:4? Does GOD call you His son?
Thu-17-Isaiah 25:1-28:13, Galatians 3:10-22, Psalm 61:1-8 & Proverbs 2:17-18. How does Isaiah 25 repair your soul and spirit? Who is described at Isaiah 28:9? How do you react to Galatians 3? Did you connect Psalm 61 with Psalm 5 & 1? What is your hope?

Fri-18-Isaiah 28:14-30:11, Galatians 3:23-4:31, Psalm 62:1-12 & Proverbs 23:19-21. What did God teach in chapter 28? What WOE is described in chapter 30? What follows faith as it followed Law? How or why did you say thanks for reading Galatians 4:1-7? Do you practice Palm 62:5 and Proverbs 23:19-21?
Sat-19-Isaiah 30:12-33:12, Galatians 5:1-12, Psalm 63:1-11 & Proverbs 23:22. Will you change your fear factor and concept of God because you read Isaiah report today? Why will the ambassadors of peace cry? How do you describe the Law verses the grace of God to a child? Pray back Palm 63.

Read your Bible FIRST, meditate and then consider the comments.

Saturday, 12 September 2015 and there are clouds in the sky and Acts 1:7-11may come to pass TODAY, Maranatha, Amen.  Are you ready to be judged accepted in the beloved or will you remain in your sin of UNBELIEF and forever be separated from The LORD God Almighty?

The shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient for all mankind to be redeemed, BUT it is only efficient for those who have heard, believed and received the gospel. Ye must be born again!

Hopefully you have been reading your Bible this week and have realized that the Truth you have touched, seen, handled and heard is The Word of God. If you are not sure where to start dealing and responding to God re-read Isaiah 1:12-20, read Psalm 51, read John 3:5-21 & 36, HEAR-HEED-BELIEVE so that 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21 may be so. God bless you.

Wednesday, September 9, 2015

Wednesday, 9 September 2015, time is not our friend when we delay in sharing Truth. What is good about Good News, The Gospel,  when it is late? There are many souls that have passed into eternity and they were NEVER presented the Gospel, Jesus Christ saves.
All of us that claim to be sons of God by faith according to the Bible will give an account of our stewardship of the scriptural Truth that we have been exposed to and yet have not proclaimed it to our family and friends. James 4:17, John 3:12 and Matthew 5-7 admonish all believers and even invites us to be about our Father's business.
Lesson # 35 for the  One Year Bible  Class to be conducted at  VBC 13 September 2015.  Please READ the Bible before you consider the comments.
Take time to “Selah” after reading the Song of Solomon and consider the conflict implied for the Shulamite woman in her being drawn between two men. Consider the dilemma we face each day when we want to seek and follow after The Lord and yet the things of the world call to us and we either hesitate or attempt to serve our two loves and find ourselves frustrated. Be wise and attentive unto the Lord.
Mon-7-Song of Solomon 5:1-8:14, 2nd Corinthians 9:1-15, Psalm 51:1-19 & Proverbs 22:24-25. Appreciate the kindness and enjoy the sincerity recorded that occurs between humans that are a shadow of the love of God for His creation. Learn the stewardship principles taught that ought to be guided by the love of God. Allow Psalm 51 to influence how and why you pray. Obey the Proverb’s admonitions.

According to Halley’s Bible Handbook “”Isaiah is referred to as the Messianic Prophet. It is recorded that Isaiah made ten (10) predictions that came true in his life; Thirteen (13) predictions were also fulfilled after his death. Isaiah also made nineteen (19) predictions about the coming Messiah that came to pass and are recorded in the New Testament.
He was a prophet of the Southern Kingdom, Judah, at the time the Northern Kingdom, Israel, was destroyed by the Assyrians. Isaiah lived in the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. His call was in the year of Uzziah’s death, but some of his visions may have been earlier (see 6:1). He was slain, according to Jewish tradition, by Manasseh. Tentatively we may place his active ministry at about 745-695 B.C.”
Tue-8-Isaiah 1:1-2:22, 2nd Corinthians 10:1-18, Psalm 52:1-9 & Proverbs 22:26-27. Focus on the attributes of God that Isaiah relied on. Read & re-read verses 1:15-20 and consider God’s holiness, mercy and perquisites for prayer. Allow Corinthians 10:12-18 to prevent pride to overtake your conversation. Selah is a guide for the readers to “pause and consider again” what you have read.

Wed-9-Isaiah 3:1-5:30, 2nd Corinthians 11:1-15, Psalm53:1-6 & Proverbs 22:28-29. Pay attention to how God is titled at Isaiah 3:1. Even in captivity God will be exalted. Why are you jealous and what are you jealous over? The Psalmist is direct when he refers to those who do not believe God. Allow the warning in the Proverbs to influence what you read and how you apply all of these Truths to your life.
Thu-10-Isaiah 6:1-7:25, 2nd Corinthians 11:16-33, Psalm 54:1-7 & Proverbs 23:1-3. Meditate on the vision of Isaiah at chapter 6. How have you gloried in your infirmities? When you adore God in your prayers how do you describe Him?

Fri-11-Isaiah 8:1-9:21, 2nd Corinthians 12:1-10, Palm 55:1-23 & Proverbs 23:4-5. Try to imagine the experience of Isaiah as Almighty God speaking to him audibly and telling him the past, present and the future. Make 8:13 as you role model. Consider the experience of Paul being caught up to the third heaven and living to tell of his trip because God wants all men to know Him. If we depended on the LORD as did the psalmist and read and believed what God did for his prophets, we would be different.
Sat-12-Isaiah 10:1-11:16, 2nd Corinthians 12:11-21, Psalm 56:1-13 & Proverbs 23:6-8. In all of the conflicts God has had a remnant, what does that teach you about His care for you? Take time to meditate on the prophecy given in chapter 11. Appreciate those men and women of God who have served you with the Gospel and make your lifestyle to be as 12:13-15. Enjoy your blessings and take time to be grateful.

Sun-13-Isaiah 12:1-14:32, 2nd Corinthians 13:1-14, Psalm 57:1-11 & Proverbs 23:9-11. Note the NAMES of God given at Isaiah 12. Be grateful for God and His attributes as recorded in chapter14. Paul challenges all men to examine themselves and their faith. Take verse 13:11-14 as a Grand Promise for your life, today and forever. Be careful.
Get right, Be right, Do right and don’t quit. Read your Bible to know God. Believe what you read. Share what you have learned with all people in your sphere of influence, God bless you.

Tuesday, September 1, 2015

Tuesday, 1 Sept 2015 I wanted to share some encouragement for you to consider this week as you read your Bible this week to know God. As you read through the Psalms note the names of God and appreciate the attributes recorded that are for the believers benefits. All men would benefit by following the commandments, admonitions, warnings and promises that are recorded in the scriptures. Men can be moral, kind, merciful, forgiving and sincere and yet not being born again thereby they die in their sin of unbelief and are separated from God forever.

On 29 August we read Proverbs 22:7 "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." but most will not learn the stewardship principle of putting God first. Consider in your own life who you are obligated to "financially"  and it will be/should be clear your priorities.

Today we read in 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21 one of the most telling Truths that cannot be denied. You are in Christ or you are in your sin! There will ALWAYS be evidence of your salvation experience in your conversation. Compare these verses to John 3:36 & 5:24. YOU know if you are right with Almighty God. If you are not right, get right NOW.

Any willing unbeliever can open the Bible to Romans chapter 1 and come face to face with Truth. Flee to John chapter 3, read and believe that God loves you and that Jesus came according to the scriptures to save his people from their sin. Turn to Romans 3:10 & 6:23 and then admit/agree to God that you are a sinner. Read and believe Romans 5:8 with a sense of appreciation that God loves you and Jesus has "paid in full" your sin debt.

Hurry to Romans 10:1-14, repent (turn from self and turn to God) for your sin of unbelief to God and believe the scripture and tell God what you have read and that you now believe this good news. Ask Him to take your sin and give you the gift of eternal life as recorded in Ephesians 2:8-10. When you realize that you are free, take time to say thank you GOD for his salvation gift with the assurance that Romans 8:1 is TRUE. This is 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21!!! Please share this Good News.
