Paul, Part One: The Greatest Preacher Since the Lord Jesus Christ
Hello everyone and I welcome all new members and thank all of you that have prayed for me. I pray the Peace of God that passeth understanding fall on you today, for your kindness toward me.
This is going to be hard for some of you, yet, I didn't start this to destroy churches, I started it to lead you out of them if they are not teaching you these things. Why? Because your salvation means more to the Lord than anything else. (As a matter of fact, your salvation means more to me than all the criticism I take from this) Therefore you must not live contrary to the Word of God rightly divided. If this message bothers you, chances are something is wrong in your life, therefore take this opportunity to make it right, lest you miss the truth and end up in hell. I am serious, there is a hell and it is waiting for those who turn their backs on this Gospel. Why is this Gospel so much more important than others, because it is the only way you can be saved TODAY? If you think your church knows more than the word of God, or your religion is dominate to the Word of God rightly divided, then I suggest you get alone and read the books of Romans thru Philemon, you will see it as the burning white diamond it really is. Once you receive this message by Grace thru Faith, you are sealed by the Holy Spirit; you cannot lose your salvation. If it is a gift of God and it is and you have to do one thing to obtain it, then it isn’t a gift. As the Lord told those Pharisees and Priests, "who hath required you to tread my courts" You see they took the Highest Religion ever known to man and corrupted it for money and ego and their status as priests.
Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle,(not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) 2 And all the brethren which are with me to the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 To whom be glory forever and ever, Amen.(rapture or raising you from the dead at the time of the rapture)
Gal. 1:6
I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
How do you pervert the Gospel of Christ, many ways, by going back to Egypt (metaphor), your old religion, or mixing Grace with works, when it is not rightly divided? And by reading corrupted versions of the Bible, the asv, williams, moffet, niv, living bible, good news to modern man, rsv, nkjv, by claiming things in the Bible that were never meant for you, pride, ego, so on and on.
I want to mention a couple things here. Paul established this church at Galatia by Grace and upon his return he found they had gone back under the law and following the message of Peter and the 11. Which is of works and enduring to the end and keeping the law. This upset Paul and he wondered how they could be moved so easily.
I'll tell you why, after receiving grace, most people find there is not enough emotionalism , fame, money and healing involved. So as the children of Israel in the wilderness, even after all the Lord did to free them from slavery, alas, they missed the leeks, garlic and melons, and turned back to it. Even made idols.
Where can you show me a passage in Romans thru Philemon that you can be filled with the Holy Ghost and live an exciting and victorious life without sin? Whoever said you could feel anything by being saved? You are Sealed with the Holy Spirit, not EMPOWERED by it as the 12 were. Different gospel. Faith and hope seen-is not faith, if you have already seen it then it isn’t by faith.
Another thing, Paul did not receive his gospel from man, neither was he taught it by man but by the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from Glory after His ascension. Different gospel.
You see Peter and the 11 were trained to do a job on earth by the Lord, they also received the Holy Ghost, they indeed could do miracles and powers and wonders, healing even reading people's minds (Ananias and sapphira).If you claim to have these powers, have you walked on any water lately or gone to the hospital and healed the sick? But they had to endure to the end and never turn back if they did their names would have indeed been blotted out of the book of life, they had to also die a martyr`s death. They were also looking for the antichrist to appear in their lifetimes, but that didn't happen, why? Because the Great Commission did not get all Israel saved. Israel rejected the gospel and went on they`re ways. You and I were never promised these things. They were for the Jews and then and only then after all Israel was saved were they to go to the Gentiles (you and I).
Notice how stern Paul is about this, this is one of the most profound passages in the Bible if you could let the Lord in long enough to see it and if that`s not enough, he repeats it.
Gal.1:8 But though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal.1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Notice Paul says an angel from heaven and the word Him, that means NO WOMEN either. Sorry, women are not supposed to be preachers. I know this one is going to sizzle you but it is the truth nonetheless.
Gal1:10 For do I now persuade men or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Folks this makes people angry to the point of a fight, I have seen it many times. You cannot please God and men at the same time; only by unity of Grace thru faith can that be accomplished. Because then they are at one with the Lord and your fellow man. If they start on you with their religion, you might as well walk away; you will never get through to them as I will show later.
Gal1:11
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man. neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
You see that? Paul did not learn His Gospel from Peter and the 12, so how can they be the same gospel? They cannot, never have nor ever will be, get this straight in your mind and you will be on the way to peace.
Gal1:13 For ye have heard of my conversation on time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God,and wasted it: 14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly more zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went unto Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. 18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
You see, Paul's gospel was not known unto the 12 until that time. It was not the same gospel they were preaching.
Answer to last week's question: Who was this man?
Answer: 2Kings7:1 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord, Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
If you read 1Kings 7-8 you will see how the city was delivered.
I do thank you for reading this, I know it is long but it is insightful for some of you who are on the fence, put away your pride and religion and stop trying to be a Christian and just surrender your all to Grace through faith, you will seen in a short time how could you have been duped by religion for so long.
love,
michael

The Circle of Life
Thank you for being here today and thank you for all your prayers. I have been forgetting to announce that we have a lot of new members from all over the world; this ministry is reaching Muslim countries and many are being saved because of it, I can tell by their testimony, their sincerity. I pray for all of you.
Much of today's teaching is from the book of Ecclesiastes, not so much things you don't already know but things that are indeed Wisdom; After carefully reading this book, and the book of Songs, I have come to the conclusion that it is written by King Solomon himself.
Ecc. 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, King of Jerusalem. 2. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. Verse 4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth forever. Verse 7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
(Why? Because God has set the boundaries of the sea and it cannot pass it. Also he has set the winds in motion and all (living) things on earth are self reproducing and replenishing.)
Verse 9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
(Since I have studied the Bible, I have seen this to be true, it is perhaps the way it has always been and always will be, it is an endless cycle, a self fulfilling, self regenerating) cycle set in motion by the Lord Jesus Christ. (God created all things, by Jesus Christ) There is no beginning and no end, that which has been done and will be, already have been, it seems, I`ll show you later.)
Verse 10 Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. 11. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that come after.
(The Lord will cut off the names of the idols and they shall no more be remembered in the regeneration.) Neither you nor Israel will remember anything unless God deems it so.
Verse 16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yes my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this is also vexation of spirit. 18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
(How true! In much wisdom is much grief, this is from a Man that had more wisdom than any before him and had more riches than all before him, yet listen to his heart while you read the words he speaks .)
Ecc 2:10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not mine heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was the portion of all my labour. 11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
(How sad, mind you, these are words of wisdom from a man, a King who had it all and nothing withheld from him, yet, all is vanity why? Below)
Ecc 2:12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? Even that which hath already been done. 13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. 14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also one event happenth to them all. 15 Then said I in my heart, As it happenth to the fool, so it happenth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other: yea, they all have one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above the beast: for all is vanity. 20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit that goeth downward to the earth? (This is why I believe animals have a spirit of some kind and I also believe they can see spirits. As in the story of Balaam.)
3:22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Ecc 5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. 11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them:
Ecc: 5:16 As he came forth of his mother`s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away with his hand.
Ecc 5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
Ecc 9:7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8 Let thy garments always be white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9 Live joyfully with the whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is the portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave whither thou goest.
(I want to give you a study here, as I write these next few verses, can you tell me who this man is? You can go to join and put his name in there, I will see it and see how many of you know the Bible.)
Ecc 9:13 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me: 14 there was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: 15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.16 Then said I, wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man`s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Who is this Man?
In closing today I want to point out one more thing in Ecclesiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return to God who gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity.
(There is a silver cord connected to you from the time you are conceived and I believe it is somehow attached to the Lord, you can see it or feel it but if it is ever broken, Thant's the end for you.
I would like each of you today to accept that Jesus Christ died for your sins, and that all is vanity upon this earth where we live and someday we will be taken out of here, I hope you are not one of those that are left behind, because you will surely go back to the dust to await your judgment "Because you believed not the love of the truth that you might be saved."
