CD 1637  “God’s Great Gospel”

Food 4 Thought: Have you thought about God’s Great Gospel at work in your life today? This “Gospel” (95 times in the KJV) is from the Greek word euangelion, which means “good message” or “good news,” has a rich background in the Old Testament. There, the basic meaning of the term gospel was simply an announcement of a good message!

*Text 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5 (KJV) Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our “Gospel” came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

#1 in WORD Only

*Read James 2:14-17 (KJV)  What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Jesus’ words and works matched because of His faith and His authority:

*Matthew 7:28-29 (KJV) And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 

#2 in POWER

*Read Matthew 4:23-24 (KJV) And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the “Gospel” of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

*Read Matthew 9:35 (KJV) And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, And healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

#3 IN the Holy Ghost,

*Read Matthew 12:28-29 (KJV) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

*See Acts 10:38 (KJV) How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 

*Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (KJV)  And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

 (A Recovery of Joy) WEEK #14 - 119th  day of the Year 

Scripture 4 Today: Proverbs 10:17 & 12:26 (KJV) The labor of the righteous tends to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. 26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: but the way of the wicked seduces them.

Ephesians 5:1 (KJV) Be you therefore followers of God, as dear children;  

 New Year's Theme - “REJOICE” - The joy of the Christian experience is the key theme running through this epistle. The words "joy" and "rejoice" are used 16 times in the epistle. Paul wrote Philippians at a time when he was suffering in prison (under house arrest), when he was weary and wondered if he might soon lose his life for Christ. And he wrote to people he loved. So his words to the Christians in Philippi were heavy but caring; sad but consoling; appreciative but bittersweet.

This Epistle of Philippians teaches that HUMILITY mixed with HOPE overcomes HARDSHIP and results in JOY (See Psalms 118:24 & Nehemiah 8:10)

Series Theme Verses:

*John 15:11 (KJV) These things have I spoken unto you, that my"joy"might remain in you, and that your "joy" might be full. 

*Philippians 4:4 (KJV)“REJOICE” in the Lord alway: and again I say,“REJOICE”. 

   From these verses we see that our source of “REJOICING” comes from the Word of God on the inside of the Believer! Keep in mind the Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit is dealing with the necessity of  working the Word, of not being hearers only as the Epistle of James teaches us (James 1:22)! 

With that being said, let’s go to chapter 4:9 of Paul’s letter to the Philippians:

*Text Philippians  4:9 (KJV) Those things, which ye have both (#1) learned, and (#2) received, and (#3) heard, and (#4) seen in me, (#5) do: and the God of “PEACE” shall be with you.

Note this is the 3rd time in this Epistle but 2nd time in this chapter Paul is teaching us about “PEACE”! In verses 6-7 we are taught to pray with thanksgiving - communicate with the Lord rather than with fears and worries! Then we would live in a peace of God that passed all understanding! Now today we are taught about not just having “PEACE” but a promise that the God of “PEACE” would be with us when we live by these 5 attitude actions!

#1 LEARNED

*ReREAD Philippians 4:9 (KJV) Those things, which ye have both (#1) learned, and (#2) received, and (#3) heard, and (#4) seen in me, (#5) do: and the God of “PEACE” shall be with you.

Note “learned” #3129 (man-than'-o) to learn and to understand.

*Read Matthew 11:29 (KJV) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

This is so precious, it’s about fellowship with Jesus moment by moment! In all reality we will either be submitted to the Savior or submitted to Satan! Choose wisely!

*Read 2 Timothy 3:12-14 (KJV) Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

We are living in the Laodician church age, the time of the great falling away! Remember our opening verse in Proverbs 12:16 - the way of the wicked will try to seduce you!

“UNFETTERED”

CD 1630

While I was praying in the Holy Spirit I heard the word "UNFETTERED" and joy came into my spirit and I laughed out loud! The Lord Jesus came to preach deliverance to the captives (Luke 4:18)!

*Text: Matthew 16:13-19 (KJV) When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [19] And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Note: Matthew 16:19 (KJV) And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

2nd witness: *Read Matthew 18:18 (KJV) Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Note to live a life “UNFETTERED” - FREE we must have the Word of our Lord. The revelation of the truth of Jesus and His authority being given to the church are the “KEYS”::

*Revelation 1:17-18 (KJV) And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the ”KEYS”of hell and of death.

Jesus sets free by His Word:

*Mark 11:1-6 (KJV) And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, [2] And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; “loose” him, and bring him. [3] And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. [4] And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they “loose” him. [5] And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, “loosing” the colt? [6] And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

Religion binds us up:

*Luke 11:52 (KJV) Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the “KEY” of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

Contrast the Two and Choose:

*Luke 13:15-17 (KJV) The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath “loose” his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? [16] And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be “loosed” from this bond on the sabbath day? [17] And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Scripture 4 Today: Psalms  55:22 (KJV) Cast (to hurl) thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved (to waver out of course).  

 New Year's Theme - “REJOICE” - The joy of the Christian experience is the key theme running through this epistle. The words "joy" and "rejoice" are used 16 times in the epistle.

*Philippians 4:4 (KJV)“REJOICE” in the Lord alway: and again I say,“REJOICE”. 

   From these verses we see that our source of “REJOICING” comes from the Word of God on the inside of the Believer! Keep in mind the Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit is dealing with  the power of thoughts. He is revealing how we as believers must guard our thought life! Did you know that the average person has 10,000 separate thoughts each day? 

(FOOD 4 Thought: Watts of power used by the human brain when it's engaged in deep thought: 14; watts required to operate an IBM personal computer: 90.

    Our thoughts have an incredible influence on our lives, for better or worse. As the Bible teaches us in Proverbs 23:7 (KJV), "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."

Our thoughts shape our beliefs, attitudes, and actions, which in turn shape our lives. This is why it's so important to guard our minds and fill them with thoughts that are positive, godly, and uplifting. By doing so, we set ourselves up for a life that is filled with joy, peace, and fulfillment. With that being said, let’s go to chapter 4:8 of Paul’s letter to the Philippians:

*Text Philippians  4:8 (KJV)  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are (#1) true, whatsoever things are (#2) honest,  whatsoever things are (#3) just, whatsoever things are (#4) pure, whatsoever things are (#5) lovely, whatsoever things are of (#6) good report; if there be any (#7) virtue, and if there be any (#8) praise, think on these things.

#1 EVALUATE  (Thoughts)

*ReREAD Philippians 4:8 (KJV)  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.

Note V.2 “THINK” #3049 (log-id'-zom-ahee) to take an inventory and come to a conclusion! Remember the #8 in Bible numbers means new creation and new beginnings! When we are born again, our spirit is made brand new in Jesus but we must receive the extracted Word to save and renew our souls ( see James 1:21 & Romans 12:2)!

Scripture 4 Today: Psalms  133:1-3 (KJV) A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

   From these verses we see that our source of “REJOICING” comes from the Word of God on the inside of the Believer! Keep in mind the Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit is dealing with  division in the congregation. He is revealing how we as believers can access joy and peace by first coming into unity!

 With that being said, let’s go to chapter 4:2-7 of Paul’s letter to the Philippians:

*Text Philippians  4:2-7 (KJV) I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Note V.2 “Euodias” = fine traveling - to help on the road!

Note V.2 “Syntyche” = an accident, a chance to meet together!

Note V.2 “same mind” #5426 (fron-eh'-o) to exercise the mind, that is, entertain or have a sentiment or opinion; See Philippians 1:27 please!

Note V.3 “help” #4815 (sool-lam-ban'-o)  to clasp, that is, seize (arrest, capture); specifically to conceive (literally or figuratively); by implication to aid: - catch.

 New Year's Theme - “REJOICE” - The joy of the Christian experience is the key theme running through this epistle. The words "joy" and "rejoice" are used 16 times in the epistle.

   From these verses we see that our source of “REJOICING” comes from the Word of God on the inside of the Believer! Today being Resurrection Sunday means we as Blood bought believers have so much to rejoice about, think on that as we continue in this series! With that being said, let’s go to chapter 3:8-21 of Paul’s letter to the Philippians! In this section of this Epistle we will see:

#1 The PRIORITY of Knowing Jesus 

*ReREAD Philippians 3:8-11 (KJV)  Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Note Verses 8-11 from the Greek are one long sentence!  Paul is using periodic style here about KNOWING CHRIST and the POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION!  By the Holy Spirit Paul is building momentum and urgency teaching this is what really matters in life to him and all who would come after him! Paul is leading us by the Holy Spirit up a staircase higher and higher with each word! Will you climb with us today?

Paul does 3 things: 

#1 “COUNT” = Paul  wants to lead with command and authority himself to this truth!

#2 “FOUND” = Paul wanted God’s Grace by being “IN JESUS”!

#3 “KNOW” = Paul wants to experience  the Resurrection of Jesus intimately!

Also note in V.8 Paul speaks of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ is by “REVELATION”! While in V.10 Paul speaks of knowing  Christ by daily “EXPERIENCE”!

#2 The PURSUIT of God’s Calling 

*READ Philippians 3:12-16  (KJV)  Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high

*Philippians 4:4 (KJV)“REJOICE” in the Lord alway: and again I say,“REJOICE”. 

   From these verses we see that our source of “REJOICING” comes from the Word of God on the inside of the Believer! Keep in mind the Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit is dealing with the “Epicureans”, the “Stoics” and the “Judaizers”:

• Epicureans: These were followers of the Greek philosopher Epicurus, who emphasized the pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain.
• Stoics: These were followers of the Greek philosopher Zeno, who emphasized the importance of reason and virtue.
• Judaizers: These were Jewish Christians who believed that Gentile converts to Christianity needed to follow Jewish customs and practices, such as circumcision, in order to be saved.

 With that being said, let’s go to chapter 3:17-21 & 4:1 of Paul’s letter to the Philippians! In this section of this Epistle we will see:

*Text Philippians 3:17-21 & 4:1- Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

#1 Who are You FOLLOWING  

*ReREAD Philippians 3:17-19 (KJV) Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
