Jesus is currently seated in Heaven at the right hand of God, therefore He is not here with us. It's better for us that He left this planet, as He himself said so to his disciples.Nevertheless I tell you the truth, It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.- John 16:7 NKJVBut the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.- John 14:26 NASB 1995We also meditate on John 16:7 from the Amplified Bible, John 15:26, and Romans 8:26.We have the Holy Spirit, who has been sent to help us in all things. What does it look like to draw near to Holy Spirit, walking in close relationship with Him?Blessing you to enter into a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, understanding just how precious a gift He is to us who know him.

Hebrews 1:7Hi Folks.  We're finally up to verse 7 of Hebrews, chapter one.  I'm going to read it in the NIV:Hebrews 1:7 (NIV) In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire."I'd like to ask you a question.  How can we explain this verse to someone?  How can we expound it or dig the meaning out of it?  I don't think that is necessarily an easy thing to do.  But, based on our last session together, I think there is a way to do it.  And it's a way that we can also apply to some other verses and passages that may not be clear.In Hebrews 1:6, we saw that the phrase “Let all God's angels worship Him” came from Psalm 97:7 in the Septuagint and we were able to understand what Hebrews 1:6 was talking about by looking at the message of Psalm 97 as a whole.  And doing that opened our understanding to let us see that Hebrews 1:6 was actually telling us about the second coming of Christ.  I think that the author of Hebrews expected us to see this and to get this additional understanding from Psalm 97:7 in the Septuagint.This method, if we can call it that, was used by Jesus in responding to the Jewish leaders when they said certain things to Him.  Let's look at an example of that:Matthew 21:16 (NIV) "Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, "'From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise'?"Now let's look at that verse in context:Matthew 21:13-16 (NIV) "It is written," he said to them, "'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it 'a den of robbers.'" [14] The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. [15] But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they were indignant. [16] "Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, "'From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise'?"The chief priests and the teachers of the law were indignant when they saw the wonderful things that Yeshua did and when the children cried out Hosanna to the Son of David.  These children were praising Jesus and calling Him the Messiah!  They recognized who He was, and they exclaimed it, unlike these Jewish leaders.  I'm going to quote Jesus' response from the King James Version:  Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?Jesus was saying this to these leaders:  You've seen what I've done but you deny that I'm the Messiah.  Even these children know who I am.  And haven't you read what the Tehillim (the Psalms) say about me?  Yeshua was quoting Psalm 8:2. Let's look at that in context:Psalms 8:1-9 (NKJV) O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! [2] Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. [3] When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, [4] What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? [5] For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. [6] You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, [7] All sheep and oxen—Even the beasts of the field, [8] The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. [9] O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!This method of quoting a verse which “hinted” at a passage of Scripture that would provide additional understanding was sometimes used by Rabbis with their students and it was given a name: remez, meaning hint.  Can you imagine how those Jewish leaders who knew about remez might have reacted?  They would know that Jesus is telling them very clearly and loudly through Psalm 8 that He is LORD.Now the author of Hebrews is doing something similar but without the rebuke to his readers that Jesus intended for the Jewish leaders.Look at the Psalm that is referenced.  Is this an example of remez?  Does Hebrews 1:6, which we studied last time, contain an example of remez (Psalm 97:7) regarding the second coming?  I believe that it does.  AND does Hebrews 1:7, our verse for today, contain an example of remez?  I hope to show you shortly that the answer is yes.Now Jesus “used” remez to convict the pharisees of the truth about Him.  Jesus invented remez.  But if the author of Hebrews used it, why did he use it in particular instances?  What was the purpose?  It may have been a way for the ancient Jewish readers and for us today to learn that the Bible is a commentary on itself.  In fact, it's the best commentary on itself.  Why is that?  Because the Bible never contradicts itself and because the Bible is complete; it contains everything that God wants us to know about Him, and His Son and His Holy Spirit.  This knowledge is most useful!  And the NKJV makes it easy to do this.  Let's read Hebrews 1:7 again, this time in the NKJV:Hebrews 1:7 (NKJV) And of the angels He says: "WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS SPIRITS AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE."Because the phrase WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS SPIRITS AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE is in all caps, we know that it's a quote from the Old Testament.  It comes from Psalm 104.  Let's read the first six verses of that Psalm:Psalms 104:1-6 (NKJV) Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty, [2] Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. [3] He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind, [4] Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire. [5] You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever, [6] You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains. (Italics added).How do we interpret this?  Now remember that beginning with Hebrews 1:4 all the way through Hebrews 1:8 (which we haven't gotten to yet) we are seeing a comparison between Jesus and angels.  Jesus is different than the angels and He is far superior.  He is the One and only Son of God, the only begotten Son.  What is Psalm 104 adding here?  It is telling us how great the LORD is and the writer is using the word Yahweh, or if you like, Adonai.  This is without question God, Yod Hay Vav Hay, the Tetragrammaton or I AM.  Could it be that the author of Hebrews, by drawing us to this Psalm, is leading us to grasp, that Jesus is equal to Yahweh?  It seems to me that the answer is yes, definitely.  Now you might say that the author has already done that.  True.  But He is perhaps doing it even more powerfully by referring us to God's proper name and by doing that He is equating Jesus, the Son, very strongly with God the Father.Jesus did this very thing Himself.  Let's read an example of that:John 8:58 (NKJV) 58 Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."And Hebrews 1:7 is also telling us that Angels, as powerful and majestic as they are, are created beings, unlike Yeshua, Who is LORD, and Who has always existed.  But what about the LORD making His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire?  Are angels and ministers the same here, in Hebrews 1:7?  I think that verses 13 and 14 from this very chapter that we are reading from now give us the answer.  Let's read them together right now:Hebrews 1:13-14 NKJVBut to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"? [14] Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?So, yes, the ministers here, in verse 1:7 are angels!  And they are great!  But Yeshua, who is equal to Yahweh, is greater!Folks, thank you for listening.  I hope Hebrews 1:7 has inspired you and caused you to rejoice!  But, I have a question for each and every one of you.  Do you know Jesus personally?  Are you going to spend eternity in heaven with Him?  If you know Him, you will!  If you don't know Him or if you're not sure please cry out to Him, today, now.  You can shout the words or you can say them softly – He will hear.  Ask Him to forgive your sins, to make you a new creation, to be your Lord and Savior, and to give you peace with God, now and forever.God bless you folks.

Strength to Strength welcomed Chuck Pike to explore Jesus' Bible with us.Have you ever wondered why Jesus and the apostles misquote Old Testament texts? Are these sloppy quotations, sketchy transmission over the millennia, or shoddy translation in modern times? Or perhaps New Testament authors were trying to revise the Old Testament text to better represent their goals?For example, Isaiah says,“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,Because the Lord has anointed MeTo preach good tidings to the poor;He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captives,And the opening of the prison to those who are bound.- Isaiah 61:1 NKJVBut when Jesus quoted this in Luke, He inserted the phrase “and recovery of sight to the blind:"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,Because He has anointed MeTo preach the gospel to the poor;He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captivesAnd recovery of sight to the blind,To set at liberty those who are oppressed.- Luke 4:18 NKJVIf these discrepancies concern you, join Chuck as he illustrates Jesus' and the apostles' frequent use of a different Old Testament text than the one most English Bibles are translated from today. If you've heard confusing terms like “Masoretic” and “Septuagint” – that confusion is about to melt away.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

Summary:In learning to love our neighbor, do we allow a difference to cause us tothen not love our neighbor?Does that person love the Lord with all that they know how to do?Let us relate simply with the Love of the Lord for one another.Show Notes:• There are “proofs” that the rapture will take place in thescripture, does it really matter as to when?• Relationships are more important than doctrines.• The Centurion knew more principles than many even today.References:1 Corinthians 9:19-23 NIV19. Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave toeveryone, to win as many as possible.20. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under thelaw I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under thelaw), so as to win those under the law.21. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law(though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as towin those not having the law.22. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all thingsto all people so that by all possible means I might save some.23. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.Matthew 8:5-13The story of the CenturionRomans 14:5-12 NASB5. One person values one day over another, another values every day thesame. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.6. The one who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and the onewho eats, does so with regard to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; andthe one who does not eat, it is for the Lord that he does not eat, and hegives thanks to God.7. For not one of us lives for himself, and not one dies for himself;8. for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord;therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.9. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord bothof the dead and of the living10. But as for you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you as well,why do you regard your brother or sister with contempt? For we will allappear before the judgment seat of God.11. For it is written: “AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, TO ME EVERY KNEEWILL BOW, AND EVERY TONGUE WILL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD.”12. So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.1 Samuel 16:7 NKJVBut the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at hisphysical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORDdoes not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, butthe LORD looks at the heart.”Quotes:• To wrangle about words, is useless• Arguing doctrine always causes confusion and division• He was a Centurion by the will of God• It is the guy that is walking in all the revelation that he hasTake Away:The second great commandment is to Love your neighbor as yourself, Isit loving another when we argue and create deeper divisions becauseof the differences that we believe from another? Are we able to openour heart to even listen to their perspective?

Jude 1:20 NKJVBut you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit

1 Timothy 5:8 NKJVBut if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Hebrews 8:6 NKJVBut now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

1 John 1:7 NKJVBut if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

This episode I read from the book of Nahum. I talk about the wickedness of the world and glory of God.This morning I asked the Lord what he wanted me to talk about. He told me to pick up my Bible, so I did. Then I held on to it and listened. I took my thumb and let the pages sift until I felt a sign of when to stop. When I felt it, I opened to the book of Nahum. The very first page, and so I read Chapter 1:2-8, and the word of God said “God is jealous, and the Lord avenges; The Lord avenges and is furious. The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, And He reserves wrath for His enemies; The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, And will not at all acquit the wicked. The Lord has His way In the whirlwind and in the storm, And the clouds are the dust of His feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, And dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, And the flower of Lebanon wilts. The mountains quake before Him, The hills melt, And the earth heaves at His presence, Yes, the world and all who dwell in it. Who can stand before His indignation? And who can endure the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, And the rocks are thrown down by Him. The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him. But with an overflowing flood He will make an utter end of its place, And darkness will pursue His enemies.”Nahum 1:2-8 NKJVWhat is wickedness? We all have our interpretation of what is wicked, and we all tend to think of very dark things that most of us would never do.But what does the Bible say!“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”II Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV(Breakdown)“For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire; He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord. The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.”Psalms 10:3-4 NKJVThis sounds like everyone.We all deserve hell. Because no I be is good.Mark 10:17-22“Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,' ‘Do not murder,' ‘Do not steal,' ‘Do not bear false witness,' ‘Do not defraud,' ‘Honor your father and your mother.' ” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.”Mark 10:17-22 NKJVDoes Jesus really want us to give up everything of this world? If these things are the most important to you then yes. If you put things of the heart before God, yes. If they stop you from spending time in the word, spreading the word, going to church then yes.If you spend 6 hours playing a video game, or watching tv and 15 min with God in a day, you are putting him at the bottom of your list.What a out the other things? What about adulatory, and murder? Certainly we have not done those things.“Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.”I John 3:15 NKJV““You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”Matthew 5:27-28 NKJVBut there is good news.“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”Romans 10:9-10 NKJV“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”John 3:16 NKJVWhen you cross the line of salvation, you not only receive the gift of everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven, but you also receive the Holy Spirit, which is a part of God himself. The Holy Spirit will lead you to be more righteous, to take captive these thoughts of wickedness and throw them to the side. It will lead to spend more time in the word and less time in the world. If this is you and you want to live your life for Jesus, if you have stumbled but you want that relationship, then pray this prayer.Lord, I am a sinner, and I am not worthy of you kingdom, but through your grace and your mercy I can be forgiven. I want to make Jesus Lord of my life, and I believe in him with my heart and truly confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord. Thank you for saving me, thank you for loving me.In the name of JesusAmenFather, if anybody prayed that prayer, I ask that you bless them and be with them, and lead them to the righteous life you want for them. In Jesus name.And for those that aren't there yet Lord, I pray you soften their hearts, so they too will seek to receive your glory Lord. In Jesus name Amen and AmenThank you for tuning in to this episode.This Wednesday we talk about something that has been deceiving the world for many years, and that's the Prosperity Gospel.Have an amazing day.God Bless

James 5:12 NKJVBut above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into judgment.

Romans 8:25 NKJVBut if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
