DEVOTION for April 4th *A.D. 2026.
Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
_____________________________________________________________
* Does it matter whether the Traditional abbreviations B.C. or A.D.
or the New Age inventions of B.C.E. or C.E. is used to fully describe Calendar dates?
Yes, it does. Significantly. Without question!
B.C. or A.D. are the abbreviations that stand for “Before Christ” and “Anno Domani” [Year of our Lord] A.D. Does NOT mean “After Death” as many erroneously have been taught.
B.C.E. or C.E are New Age inventions that stand for “Before Common Era” or “Common Era”. [These inventions are effort to eliminate the person of Jesus Christ, and to write Him out of History, altogether by not mentioning HIS NAME, at all].

The Lord Jesus *Christ
* [Anointed Messiah]
was supernaturally Fathered by GOD, The Holy Ghost, and was born of a virgin girl, named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.
He was crucified and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb and after three days, GOD brought Him back to life from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave.
THE LORD JESUS is GOD’S INCARNATE WORD and EVERLASTING SACRIFICE. HE is The Lamb of God, God’s WORD! [The WORD of GOD in Human flesh.] The CHURCH is the Body of *Christ,
(*The Anointed Messiah). The CHURCH is His espoused [Divinely promised and legally bound] Bride, to whom HE will return and wed.
The singular event of the birth of Jesus Christ establishes and defines the fact of time in all Human History as being either Before or After HIS Birth.
John 1:1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [AS His WORD is ETERNAL and IMMUTABLE it IS and WAS and FOREVER FOR EVER MORE SHALL BE] Jesus Christ is GOD’s [incarnate] WORD, MADE FLESH and is ONE with the FATHER.
I, and my Father are ONE. John 10:30

The Indestructible Book [GOD’s HOLY WORDS]
By Dr. David Brown
The WORDS of the 1769 Edition of The King James Bible, KJV were and are, for all time, Divinely Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible and Providentially Preserved and Protected Words of GOD.
They are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS of Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM” is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.
“I and my Father are one”. John 10:30
________________________________
1 John 5:7 This is the fundamental scripture of the essential tenet for the doctrine of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and works of the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely in Critical Text Translations by apostates that desire an untenable goal to allow a counterfeit scripture to support False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Doctrines, False Teaching and Heresies brought forward by false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists or Pagans.
Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ (*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.] John 10:30
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one. John 10:30
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Living Water of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son [The Lord Jesus *Christ
(* Anointed Messiah)].
GOD is THE GREAT “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and endures FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending,
Eternity Future.

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.
By Dr. Phil Stringer
By Dr. Phil Stringer
1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (For The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)
Daniel Webster [Author of the Famous Webster Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you [Mr. Webster] to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?
His answer was, “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain HIM.”

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation
By Dr. David Sorenson
In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed and moved the Prophets and Apostles to write what they were given by the Holy Ghost] Greek Text. Length: (33:56 minutes)
The Traditional Greek Text was printed by Desiderius Erasmus and was used in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR].
Over Five Billion King James Bibles [NOT NEW King James Version Bibles] account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible. This is more than all other Versions and Editions Combined.
______________________________________
By Dr. David Sorenson
So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”
No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.
The issue is not translational.
Marketing ploys by publishing companies that have little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:
-
Easier to read.
-
More modern.
-
More accurate (Not true)
The most popular. (KJV is still the most popularly read Bible in America)
The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.
On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.

PRAYER 14, April 4th Part 4 of 8 BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL! Gaither Congregation (Sing with us, won’t you?)
URL:
Take away from us everything which now might hinder our delighting ourselves in God. May we come to God this day [right now] with a supreme joy; may we speak of Him as
“God my exceeding joy; yea, mine own God is He.”
O God give us a sense of property in Thyself. May we come near to Thee, having no doubt and nothing whatsoever that shall spoil the beautiful simplicity of a childlike faith which looks up into the great face of God and saith [says],
“Our Father, which art in heaven.”
There are those who never [have] repented of sin and never believed in Christ, and consequently the wrath of God abideth [abides] on them. They are living without God, they are living in darkness. O God in Thy great mercy, look upon them.
They do not look at Thee, but do Thou [You do] look at them. May the sinner see his sin and mourn [grieve over] it; see His Savior and accept Him; see himself saved, and go on his way rejoicing. Father, do grant [give] us this.

ANECDOTE 243: April 4th THE TROUBLE WITHIN.
The wise man saith, [says] “As a bird that wandereth [wanders] from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.” It is not the box that makes the jewel, nor the place that makes the man.
“Oh, but anywhere rather than this !”
Yes, and when you get into the place you now covet [desire] , you will pine [long] to be back again.
A barren tree is none the better for being transplanted. A blind man may stand at many windows before he will improve his view. If it is difficult to produce good works where you are, you will find it still difficult where you wish to be. He who said that he leaped so many yards at *Rhodes, [Ancient Olympic Games] was asked to do the same feat at home; surely the place could not take away his strength, nor give it to him. Oh, sirs, the real difficulty lies not without [outside] you, but within you.
*In ancient times there was a Roman saying: "Hic Rhodus, hic salta!"—
("Rhodes is here, now perform your jump")
[It’s] an admonition to prove one's idle boasts by deed rather than talk that comes from an Aesop's fable

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK April 4th GOD’S HORNETS C.H. Spurgeon 1834—1892
-And I will send hornets before thee [ahead of you] , which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee [out of your way] [- Exodus 23:28
-Yo enviare la avispa delante de ti, que eche fuera al Heveo, y al Cananeo, y al Hetheo, de delante de ti –Exodo 23:28
What the hornets were, we need not consider. They were God’s own army, which He sent before His people to sting their enemies, and render [make] Israel’s conquest easy. Our God by His own chosen means will fight for His people, and gall their foes, before they come into the actual battle.
Often, He confounds the adversaries of truth by methods in which reformers themselves have no hand.
The air is full of mysterious influences which harass Israel’s foes. We read in the Apocalypse [Book of the Revelation] that
-the earth helped the woman-.
Let us never fear. The stars in their courses fight against the enemies of our souls. Oftentimes when we march to the conflict [battleground] we find no host to contend with.
-The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.-
God’s hornets can do more than our weapons. We could never dream of the victory being won by such means as Jehovah will use.
We must obey our marching orders and go forth to the conquest of the nations for Jesus, and we shall find that the Lord has gone before us, and prepared the way; so that in the end we shall joyfully confess,
-His [God’s] own right hand, and his holy arm, have gotten him the victory.-
Prayer: Thank you, Father, that You will send hornets ahead of me which shall drive out the enemy. Lord, I do trust you to deliver and bring victory to me by Your unlimited means . Lord Jesus, I believe that you are God’s only begotten son, and were made to be sin for us [me], and took my place on the cross to save me and that God raised You from the dead, victorious over sin, the devil and the grave so that I could be made the righteous of God in You.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, Amen.

MORNING April 4th "FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM." —2 Corinthians 5:21
Al que no conoció pecado, hizo pecado por nosotros, para que nosotros fuésemos hechos justicia de Dios en él. —2 Corintios 5:21
MOURNING Christian! Why do you weep? Are you mourning over your own corruptions? Look to your perfect Lord, and remember,
you are complete in Him; you are as perfect in God's sight as if you had never sinned; nay, [no, even] more than that:
the Lord our Righteousness has put a divine garment on you, so that you have more than the righteousness of man—you have the righteousness of God.
0 you who are mourning by reason of inbred sin and depravity, remember, none of your sins can condemn you. You have learned to hate sin; but you have learned also to know that sin is not yours—it was laid upon Christ's head. Your standing is not in yourself—it is in Christ; your acceptance is not in yourself, but in the Lord; you are as much accepted of God today, with all your sinfulness, as you will be when you stand before His throne, free from all corruption. I beseech you, lay hold on this precious thought: perfection in Christ! For you are
"complete in Him."
With your Savior's garment on, you are as holy as the Holy one.
"Who is he that condemneth [condemns]?
It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh [makes] intercession for us."
Christian, let your heart rejoice, for you are
"accepted in the beloved."
What have you to fear? Let your face ever wear a smile; live near your Master; live in the suburbs of the Celestial [Heavenly] City. For soon, when your time has come,
you will rise up where Jesus sits, and reign at His right hand, even as He has overcome and has sat down at His Father's right hand. All this because the divine Lord
“was made to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”

EVENING April 4th "COME YE, AND LET US GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD." —Isaiah 2:3
—Venid, y subamos al monte de Jehová—Isaías 2:3
IT is exceedingly beneficial to our souls to mount above this present evil world to something nobler and better.
The cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches are apt to choke everything good within us, and cause us to grow fretful and desponding or perhaps proud and carnal.
It is well for us to cut down these thorns and briers, for heavenly seed sown among them is not likely to yield a harvest; and
where shall we find a better sickle with which to cut them down than communion with God and the things of the kingdom?
In the valleys of Switzerland many of the inhabitants are deformed, and all wear a sickly appearance, for the atmosphere is charged with miasma [noxious gasses] and is closed and stagnant. But up yonder, on the mountain, you find a hardy race, who breathe the clear fresh air as it blows from the virgin snows of the Alpine summits. It would be well if the dwellers in the valley could frequently leave their homes among the marshes and the fever mists, and inhale the bracing element [fresh air] up on the hills.
It is to such an exploit of climbing that I invite you this evening.
May the Spirit of God assist us to leave the mists of fear, the fevers of anxiety, and all the ills which gather in this valley of earth, and ascend the mountains of anticipated joy and blessedness.
May God the Holy Spirit cut the cords that keep us here below, and assist us to mount! We sit too often like chained eagles fastened to the rock. Only that we, unlike the eagle, begin to love our chain, and would, perhaps, if it came really to the test, be unwilling to have it snapped.
May God now grant us grace, if we cannot escape from the chain of our flesh, yet to escape in our spirits; and leaving the body, like [leaving] a servant at the foot of the hill, may our soul, like Abraham, attain the top of the mountain, there to
indulge in communion with the Most High.
Praise Him, Praise and Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord (Two of the many thousands of Hymns written by Fanny Crosby) [Francis Crosby]

All Versions and Editions of Bibles that are NOT translated from the Traditional Text [AKA the Received Text (Latin:Textus Receptus) TR or The Byzantine Text] contain variant readings that diminish the person and works of Jesus Christ. All Glory belongs to The Almighty GOD. He has preserved and protected HIS WORD as immutable [incapability of any mutation or any change] in the 1769 Edition of the 1611 King James Version [KJV] Bible Also known as the Authorized Version AV. ALL GLORY, LOVE, HONOR AND RESPECT is due and must be given to the Omnipotent [Almighty], Omniscient [All-knowing], Omnipresent and Infinitely Holy GOD.

A Sinner’s Prayer.
A person may come to Jesus by believing and (whole heartedly) praying like this:
“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless without You. I will never be able to save myself by my own merits. Without you and your death on the cross I would deserve and spend forever in Hell.
I know that me doing my best or being good (in my own opinion) and justifying my own behavior as "good" or "OK" will never save me.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I come to You right now. Lord Jesus. Please save me. I believe You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin debt and put to death my sin nature. I know You always keep your word. Please save me. You say and it’s written in the Bible that you won’t reject anyone who comes to You. I'm coming to You now. Thank You for saving me.
I give myself (all of myself) to You, Lord Jesus. I declare that You are my Savior and Lord. I’m sorry for and I turn away from every sin (every bad thought, every bad word I have spoken and every bad thing I have ever done) and look to You free me from the penalty of sin, to keep me free from the power of sin and empower me overcome any temptation from sin’s presence. Thank you for forgiving all of my sins by dying on the cross to pay the punishment that I deserve. (I was a sinner by nature and by behavior). But now I'm washed clean by Your blood that was shed [poured out] for me at Calvary [at the cross].
Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me now and will always love me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father other than by You.
Thank you Father that You have made a way for me to see myself as ungodly. But, because You are good You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in the Lord Jesus. You have forgiven me because He took my place and You have provided for me to be born again [born from above, born of the Holy Spirit].
You prompted this desire and faith to believe in Your only begotten Son who,gave up His life and died on the cross to pay my sin debt, not mine alone, but the sins of the whole world.
Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus there is no condemnation. After You raised Him from the dead You gave Him a Glorified, [everlasting] physical body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You in heaven.
I pray this in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ with a grateful heart. Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Comforter, The Spirit of Truth, for my guidance and solemn instruction into all truth., Amen.”
Thank You Holy Spirit of Truth, The Comforter, The Paraclete [true friend who is by your side and always has your back] for the new life in Jesus and the victory that comes when I recon myself dead indeed unto sin and alive unto God through Christ Jesus our Lord trusting You, Holy Spirit for Your empowerment to see this promise fulfilled. Romans 6:11
Thank you that you, Holy Spirit, always exalt [lift up] the Lord Jesus. John 16:8-11
With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me.
I ask now that You live Your life through me in Your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

… and pray for souls to be saved and believers to be strengthened
The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
Pray also that believers will be led… by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide and proclaim God’s WORD, providentially protected and preserved by God, Himself.
John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89
God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His WORD. All of His Word is inspired, [God-breathed], self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.
MISSION PURPOSE:
We aim to be fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. We trust the Holy Spirit to impart God’s divine revelation to us from His Word, the Holy Bible. We trust that many who are lost will be saved, that believers will be comforted, strengthened and encouraged as we are being conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ; all, to God’s glory.
Divine Scripture is God’s infinite, eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable revelation to all mankind. Herein, all revealed truth is given to the world. It is God-breathed [inspired] , self-authenticating [compare scripture to scripture] and providentially protected and will endure, immutable, forever. We purpose, therefore, with God enabling, to rightly divide and follow The Holy Bible in all things. Personal guidance in Holiness and all divine revelation to His Church body are through God’s Holy Word, the Bible.
Hence, we resolve, God helping us, to pray, read, study, meditate-on, trust-in and obey God’s revealed and divinely preserved Word, holding it to be the final authority and legal precedent in all things as the divinely established Stare Decisis [Latin: to stand by that which is decided].
Therefore, the purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to publish and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature, ministering God’s love to all, especially those in the household of faith. The Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired, (God breathed) inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, divinely protected and preserved Word of love and salvation to the entire world forever settled in heaven.
It is also the essence and foundation of this ministry as we aim to encourage a fully devoted discipleship demonstrating devotional vigor.
History: The preaching, teaching and writing of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, continues to reveal God’s love through His WORD, rightly divided and conforming to all doctrines of Biblical Christianity. His work continues to benefit, bless and challenge readers through authentic Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching. The Lord’s ministry through Charles Spurgeon continues to flourish from (Spurgeon’s) Metropolitan Tabernacle, (Brief History)
This Website is shared with the hope that growth in personal devotions and the edification of the church as well as fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ will be encouraged. We desire that the written Word of God will be the Living Word in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ to each and every reader.
To this end, DailySpurgeon.com is offered to hear Gospel preaching and engage in daily devotions, Bible study, meditation, prayer, and the singing of Sacred Praise and Worship music to The Lord Jesus Christ.
Adherence to Spurgeon’s calendared dates and original, unabridged text is carefully transmitted.
_________________________________________________
Alterations to and alternative readings in Biblical Text were brought about by the Critical Greek Text of Westcott & Hort and was used to translate the: NIV, ESV, RSV and other Modern Language Translations. These Greek translations came from the Greek Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. 90% is from Vaticanus and 8-9% from Sinaiticus and were the principle source Texts used by Westcott and Hort to invent their Critical Greek Text. There are more disagreements than there are agreements between these two Codices.
17 verses are deleted out of the New Testament in the Critical Text. 7,000 words are deleted.
Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are counterfeits that were overwritten in the 10th 11th and completely overwritten in the 15th centuries. There are more points of disagreement than there are points of agreement between them.
The Geneva Bible was also translated from the Traditional Greek Text, The Textus Receptus [The Received Text] including comments favorable to the Protestant Reformation from, devoted, faithful Christian men of GOD; Puritan Believers whose lives were beyond reproach.
This Bible was brought to Plymouth Massachusetts in the American Colonies by the Puritan Pilgrims guided by Captain Christopher Jones’s on the Mayflower sailing ship in 1620. A 1592 Edition of the Geneva Bible that belonging to a Mayflower passenger and the Governor of the Plymouth Colony (Later to become the State of Massachusetts) by William Bradford and is on display at the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the oldest continuously operating public museum in the United States.
The traditional Textus Receptus [The Received (Greek) Text] unlike any other Greek Text was taken from more than 5,321 original Majority (Greek Manuscript) Text [MT] that agree 99% with one another. Other variant readings stem from Greek translations invented by either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland. These fabricated Greek Texts were translated from only a handful [45] of Majority Text Manuscripts MT and lack the trustworthiness of the inspired 1769 [1611] King James Version, KJV or the Geneva Bible and are the only two translations of the traditional, reliable, inspired, [GOD BREATHED] immutable and providentially and divinely protected Textus Receptus [TR]
There is also translational evidence from Jerome’s Latin Vulgate that establishes The Traditional Greek Text as both the OLDEST and the BEST. [Unlike the Counterfeit proofs offered with The Critical Test].

Can the Website DAILYSPURGEON be trusted? Is it trustworthy?
Is it of God?
YES, it can! Yes, it is! Here’s why.
1 John 4:1-3
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everyone or !everything] you hear but be testing the spirit [voice] whether it is of God: because many false prophets have gone [come] out into the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesses [avows] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come[who came] out of God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not [doesn’t audibly avow] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore I do confess, that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.
[All translations of the Bible that use Greek translations other than the Traditional AKA the faithful Textus Receptus do not have the Greek word “ictin”. This word means “is” in English] and its exclusion causes the meaning of its translation, “is here” to change to “has” come.
This mistake is self-evident because non-believers, false prophets, atheists and even heretics can, and frequently do, affirm that Jesus Christ “has come” [in the flesh].
While this is a true statement, taken at face value, the meaning of “has come” is clearly not the same as “is here”. When “has” come is the meaning the test God has given in His Word to discern whether words being analyzed are from the Spirit of God or the spirit of antichrist is made void.
One of the most well documented facts in all human history is that Jesus The Christ [The Anointed Messiah] “has” come in the flesh. However, the essential question is not whether the spirit [a spoken or written word] confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether this confession affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is here], in the flesh.
Please Compare and consider [Meditate upon] this scripture with other related scriptures. Precept upon precept, Line upon line…
Isaiah 28:10-14

Ephesians 5:30-32
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.32 This is a great mystery: but I [The Apostle Paul] speak concerning Christ and the church. [The Church body and Bride of CHRIST]
“I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here and now, of the body of Christ]. Because followers of Jesus Christ are members of the incarnate Body of Christ [The Church] I freely affirm and avow that Jesus Christ is hereNot “Has come”] in the flesh.

Which Bible Is The Best? (57 minutes) David Hocking
David’s Summary (8 minutes) The problem behind Bible translations is not English. The issue is what Greek text was being used. I believe the true Author is The Holy Spirit. I believe this is the Word of God… We need to understand that The word of GOD in and of itself is power. Power to change your life and through the work of the Holy Spirit can produce the New Birth. We are born again of an incorruptible seed of the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever.
- David Hocking

THE WORDS of GOD Are :
Immutable, [unchangeable and, incapable of mutation or change]
Inspired, [God breathed, spoken],
Infallible,[Incapable of failing, making a mistake or being wrong]
Inerrant [Without error]
Self-Authenticating [The Bible is considered to be self-authenticating because proponents who believe it to be so know it contains inherent divine qualities—Such qualities are unity, majesty, power, and internal consistency—that reveal its divine origin, that convinces readers of its truth without relying on external historical proof or church testimony.
This concept, championed by the Reformation, know that the Holy Spirit illuminate:
the "heavenliness of its matter," the "efficacy of its doctrine," and the "majesty of its style" within the text itself, allowing God's Word to be received directly, the same way as seeing God's glory in Christ.]
Divinely Protected and Providentially Preserved:
Psalm 12:6-7: 6 The words of the Lord are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them [Thy Words] (Note Plural), O Lord, thou shalt preserve them [Thy Words] from this generation for ever. (KJV).
Isaiah 40:8: 8 The grass withereth, [withers] the flower fadeth [fades] :but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (KJV).
Matthew 5:18: 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (KJV).
Matthew 24:35: 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (AKJV).
1 Peter 1:23: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (KJV).
1 Peter 1:25: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (KJV).
Psalm 119:89: 89 For ever, [sic] O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven, Psalm 119:89). (KJV).
The Authorized King James Version (AKJV) also known as The King James Version, Edition of 1769 (KJV), The Authorized Version (AV) and The Geneva Bible are faithful Translations from the preeminent, [surpassing all others], Traditional Greek Text which predates the name given to the Textus Receptus [The Received Text] TR, and is superior to all modern Critical Text translations rendered from inferiorGreek Sources that include: (Westcott & Hort, Nestle & Aland, and Codices Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and Alexandrus).
John 1:1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
_____________________________________________________
John 1:1-3 1In the beginning was he Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in he beginning with God. 3 all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
(KJV) The Authorized Version AV Translation was faithfully translated by fully consecrated, and dedicated men of faith, beyond reproach, preeminent linguists, language scholars who were fully devoted followers of The Lord Jesus Christ. The 1611 King James translation is from the inerrant, inspired and immutable Textus Receptus [Received Text]:
Psalm 119:89 ל (Lamed) For ever, [sic] O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
“GOD’S LIVING Word” is The Infinitely Inspired and Ultimate Stare Decisis [The Legal Latin Term that expresses the principle of “Legal Precedence”. It means to stand by things decided, and to uphold all things God-Breathed [Inspired] and therefore eternally, Divinely and immutably decided FOREVER]
4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore, I now confess that “Jesus Christ is here in the flesh.”
[All other English translations of the Bible that use Greek manuscripts other than the Textus Receptus erroneously renders the English translation “Has come”.
This Translation error is because inferior Greek manuscripts do not include the Greek word “ictin” (This is The Greek word for is that is found only in the Majority Text of the Textus Receptus) and therefore the failure to correctly translate “ictin” [Is Here] into English.
The Authorized King James Version AKJV also known as The Authorized Version AV and the Geneva Bible stand alone in making and giving the correct translation: “is here”.
This error: “has come” is self-evident, because non-believers, false prophets and even heretics can, and sometimes will, make the confession that He “has come” in the flesh. This is no surprise because the birth of Jesus Christ is the most well documented fact in all of recorded history. Indeed, it is a true and factual statement that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Yet, while this is, a true and factual statement, the meaning in scripture has now been erroneously changed. The new and erroneous meaning is that now even if He “has come” in the flesh the confession that JESUS CHRIST IS HERE IN THE FLESH is impossible for THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST who is the creator of all heresies to confess. Without it, Don’t believe anything that is said or written.
NEITHER does it provide for the test for believers to discern whether a spirit [voice or written words being read or heard] are from God or from the Antichrist. It is true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, but it’s essential that the confession that Jesus Christ, “IS HERE IN THE FLESH” Be confessed [be spoken].
________________________________________________________
By Reading, comparing and meditating on any specific Scripture together with other relevant Scriptures, God’s Word clarifies and self-authenticates:
Therefore we will read and meditate on:
1 John 4:1-3 with Ephesians 5:30-32
Authorized (King James) Version
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
30: for we are members of his [Jesus Christs’] body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and His bride the church.
[We are members of His body, flesh and bones, one flesh with Him, as His bride the church].
He was born of a virgin 2026 years ago, and HE lives today,
and He is soon returning for His bride, The Church.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory. "1 Timothy 3:16

We pray that all believers who visit the website will become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ fully conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, The Messiah.
___________________________________________
It should be the desire of every born-again believer to worship God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, in Spirit and in truth.
“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately sharing] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
To this end, Heavenly Father, we pray that You will bless all who visit this website and bring many to confess the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
This Website can not replace nor can it be a substitute for the in-person, personal assembling of ourselves together as is the manner of some. Hebrews 10:23-27
Rather, its purpose is to save lost sinners and to teach and encourage believers through God’s Word and prayer to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah] in personal discipleship and worship of the Lord Jesus as we are predestined to be conformed to His very image.
“For whom God did foreknow he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son…” Romans 8:29
We are, instructed in the Word of GOD to assemble, praise and worship God. Thus, we must assemble and worship the Lord Jesus Christ and exhort [encourage] and provoke one another to do good works.
Such worship may take place through, congregational singing of sacred hymns and spiritual songs, reading, preaching and obeying God’s Word, sharing Christian love and fellowship, agreeing together with specific public prayer requests, and reading and exhorting one another in the Word, to provoke one another to love and serve and bear witness with one another in the Holy Ghost.
Warning: Online streaming cannot satisfy personal interaction or the warm fellowship of in-person assemblies of brothers and sisters who are in Christ Jesus. Electronic media cannot substitute for the warm inter-personal love, fellowship, commitment, and compassion, nor does it provide for a kind and comforting touch or embrace of another believer. e.g. Laying on of hands, 1 Timothy 4:14; the right hands of Christian fellowship, Galatians 2:9; or an embrace, Acts 20:1; or greeting with a holy kiss,
We give thanks to the Lord, for the Website DailySpurgeon.com and pray that it will continue to be an instrumentality of The Lord Jesus to build up fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ [Anointed Messiah] . These followers will be taught to be disciples themselves and will then teach others to be disciples.
We pray that you will also be a radiant messenger of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every one, encouraging them to believe in Christ Jesus and to become the very image of Jesus Christ.
This ministry was begun as daily e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon were sent to John -Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley. Jon shared these messages with others and soon over 300 were added to the mailing list through his witness as he witnessed and shared his testimony with them.
Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021 leaving a legacy of this Website to minister to all who will benefit in this labor of Love to the glorify God and His Eternal Kingdom. ALL Glory belongs to GOD, alone.
Jon is honored here; giving honor to whom honor is due. Romans 13:7
We pray that many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and built-up to become fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and be conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:28-29.

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood-bought, born-again Child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.
… Jon’s testimony lives on from one who, by grace, through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is now present with the LORD in glory forever. One who, one day, we’ll reunite..
Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or, Best of all, when an inspired, spontaneous praise from the Lord would just pop out from his joyful, creative, redeemed and loving heart.
Some of Jon’s Favorites:
I Love You Lord by the Gaither choir
I Love You Lord Universal Music Group
I LOVE You Lord by Jared Reynolds
Where No One Stands Alone Gaither Vocal Band
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul by Elvis and friends
He Knows Just What I Need by Elvis
How Great Thou Art with Elvis
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul Elvis and friends
Lead Me, Guide Me by Elvis
It Is No Secret by Elvis written by Stuart Hamblen
The following recordings were discovered several months after Jon was called home on January 16th 2021. It’s such a blessing, to hear Elvis sing the Gospel message in song but it can’t compare with the Glory of being in the presence of the LORD for all eternity.
LIFE by Elvis
*I Can Only Imagine being present with the LORD, or hearing the completed song the Lord completed with Jon when he arrived; a song known only to the Lord, to Jon and the few who heard Jon sing it here. Lyrics remembered from him singing: "See my Jesus, Walkin' on duh Waduh"… an original, inspired song from our beloved Jon, himself a true and renown original.
* Click and sing:
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE with Wynonna Judd.
LOVE WITHOUT END, AMEN (A Father’s Love) by George Strait honoring George H.W. Bush (41st President) A favorite song of the President.
It’s also my sincere message of love to all my children, grand-children and great grand-children and all loved ones.
…Jon would always say “Later”; [as in, see-ya later] instead of “good bye”. It was the only farewell greeting he would ever use when parting company with a friend; and, everyone was Jon’s friend.
… He would never say “good-bye”.
Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings true in a new and deeper meaning and it brings a joy and comfort to the hearts of those whom he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.
… and how much sweeter to us now, are the promises in these two Hymns:
’TILL WE MEET AGAIN. (sing along, won’t you?)
