PRAYER 19, May 14th Part 4 of 11 GOD’S UNSPEAKABLE GIFT.
Still, Lord, though healed of a former lameness so that now we have strength, we need a further touch from Thee; we are so apt to get dull and stupid; come and help us, Lord Jesus.
A vision of Thy face will brighten us; but to feel Thy Spirit touching us will make us vigorous. Oh! for the leaping and the walking of the man born lame.
May we today dance with holy joy like David before the Ark of God. May a holy exhilaration take possession of every part of us; may we be glad in the Lord; may our mouth be filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing,
“FOR THE LORD HATH DONE GREAT THINGS FOR US WHEREOF WE ARE GLAD.”
[I praise You for this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]
(Attachment: PRAYER 19.doc)
ANECDOTE 283: May 14th MAKING OUR OWN EPITAPH.
When the Eastern Emperors were crowned at Constantinople, it is said to have been a custom for the royal [stone] mason to set before his majesty; a certain number of marble slabs, one of which he was to choose to be his tombstone. It was well for him to remember his funeral at his coronation.
I bring before you now the unwritten marbles of life:
which will you have, holiness, or sin,
Christ or self?
When you have chosen, you will begin to write the inscription upon it; for
YOUR LIFE’S WORKS WILL BE YOUR MEMORIAL.
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK May 14th SURGERY FOR HEALING by C.H. Spurgeon
-Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up- Hosea 6:1
VENID y volvamonos a Jehova: que el arrebato, y nos curara; hirio, y nos vendara- Oseas 6:1
It is the Lord’s way to tear [wound] before He heals. This is the honest love of His heart, and the sure surgery of His hand. He also bruises before He binds-up [dresses the wound], or else it would be uncertain work.
The law comes before the gospel; the sense of need before the supply of it.
Is the reader now under the convincing, crushing hand of the Spirit?
Has he received the spirit of bondage again to fear?
This is a salutary preliminary to real gospel healing and binding up.
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all thy jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores.
HE ALONE CAN HEAL, AND HE DELIGHTS TO DO IT.
It is our Lord’s office to bind up the brokenhearted,
and He is gloriously at home at it.
Let us not linger [waste time], but at once return unto the Lord from whom we have gone astray. Let us show Him our gaping wounds, and beseech [earnestly ask] Him to know [acknowledge] His own work, and complete it.
Will a surgeon make an incision, and then leave his patient to bleed to death? Will the Lord pull down our old house, and then refuse to build us a better one? Dost thou [do you] ever wantonly [with malice] increase the misery of poor anxious souls?
THAT BE FAR FROM THEE, O LORD. [That’s impossible for You, Lord]
Prayer: Thank you, Lord that we can confess with Hosea:
-Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up-
We know that when the heart is convicted of sin, salvation always follows soon after.
Please save me Lord Jesus. I’m a sinner and need salvation. Thank You that Your grace and mercy allow me to return to You. Thank You that You will heal and care for me in Your name and for Your sake, Lord Jesus, I pray, Amen.
MORNING May 14th
“Joint heirs with Christ”. —Romans 8:17
—Coherederos de Cristo —Romanos 8:17
THE boundless realms of His Father's universe are Christ's by prescriptive right.
As "heir of all things,"
He is the sole proprietor [owner] of the vast creation of God, and He has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of that deed of joint heir-ship [ownership] which the Lord has ratified with His chosen people.
The golden streets of paradise, the pearly gates, the river of life, the transcendent bliss, and the unutterable glory, are, by our blessed Lord, made [given] over to us for our everlasting possession.
All that He has He shares with His people.
The royal crown He has placed upon the head of His Church, appointing her a kingdom, and calling her sons
a royal priesthood, a generation of priests and kings.
He uncrowned Himself that we might have a coronation of glory;
He would not sit on his own throne until he had procured [made secure] a place on it for all who overcome by His blood.
CROWN THE HEAD AND THE WHOLE BODY SHARES THE HONOR. BEHOLD HERE! [LOOK AT THIS!] THE REWARD OF EVERY CHRISTIAN CONQUEROR!
Christ's throne,
crown,
scepter [jeweled staff, representing His sovereign authority],
palace,
treasure,
robes, and
heritage are yours.
Far superior to the jealousy, selfishness, and greed which permit no participation in their gains, Christ deems [considers] His happiness completed by sharing it with his people.
"The glory which You gave me have I given them."
"These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."
The smiles of His Father are all the sweeter to Him, because His people share them.
The honors of His kingdom are more pleasing, because His people appear with Him in glory.
More valuable to Him are His conquests, since they have taught His people to overcome.
He delights in His throne, because on it there is a place for them.
He rejoices in His royal robes, since over them His skirts are spread.
He delights the more in His joy, because He calls them [us] to enter into it.

EVENING May 14th
"He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom [near His heart] . " —Isaiah 40:11
—En su brazo cogerá los corderos — Isaías 40:11
WHO is He of whom such gracious words are spoken? He is the Good Shepherd.
Why does he carry the lambs in His bosom?
Because He has a tender heart, and any weakness melts His heart at once. The sighs [of contentment], the ignorance, the feebleness of the little ones of His flock spark His compassion.
It is His office, as a faithful High Priest, to consider the weak.
Besides, He purchased them with blood, they are His property: He must and will care for that which cost Him so dear.
Then He is responsible for each lamb, bound by covenant engagements not to lose one.
Moreover, they are all a part of His glory and reward.
But how may we understand the expression,
"He will carry them"?
Sometimes He carries them by not permitting them to endure much trial. Providence deals tenderly with them.
Often, they are "carried" by being filled with an unusual degree of love, so that they bear up and stand fast. Though their knowledge may not be deep, they have great sweetness in what they do know.
Frequently He "carries" them by giving them a very simple faith, which takes the promise just as it stands, and believingly runs with every trouble straight to Jesus.
The simplicity of their faith gives them an unusual degree of confidence that carries them above the world.
"He carries the lambs in His bosom."
Here is boundless affection.
Would He put them in His bosom if He did not love them [very] much?
Here is tender nearness: so near are they that they could not possibly be nearer.
Here is hallowed familiarity: there are precious love-passages between Christ and His weak ones.
Here is perfect safety: in His bosom who can hurt them?
They must hurt the Shepherd first. Here is perfect rest and sweetest comfort.
Surely, we are not sufficiently sensible [aware and knowledgeable] of
THE INFINITE TENDERNESS OF JESUS!

PLEASE VIEW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR PREFERRED VERSION OF THE BIBLE HAS BEEN AND IS IS PROTECTED AND PRESERVED BY GOD AS INSPIRED [GOD-BREATHED,

This video presents historical evidence explaining the explosion of over 100 published English versionsof the Bible. This continuing attempt to replace, add or take away from the 1769 King James Version of the Holy Bible do notprevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His Holy Scripture from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion and error.
Note: The King James Version does follow the Greek text of the Textus Receptus, but a Greek Text fabricated by Westcott and Hort and is therefore inferior to the trustworthy 1769 [1611] King James Version, theKJV!

SACRED LITERATURE:
_______________________________
Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] the LORD GOD was born of a virgin 2025 years ago, was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD as His Church, The Body of Christ and will live forever, time without end and He, Himself, is coming again.
_____________________________________________
*A.D. Does NOT mean after death as is commonly believed. It is a Latin abbreviation
for anno Domani (It means “Year of our Lord”.
BC/AD versus BCE/CE Is there a difference?​
Yes. Stand for the Truth, Won’t you?
Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] the LORD GOD was born of a virgin 2025 years ago, was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD as His Church, The Body of Christ and will live forever, time without end and He, Himself, is coming again.
Who was (is) Charles Haddon Spurgeon
A.D. did not and does NOT mean “After Death” as many erroneously now think. It actually abbreviates Anno Domini, a Latin phrase adopted into English that literally means “Year of our Lord”. It has been used together with B.C. Before Christ for centuries.
B.C.E is not a synonym for B.C. (Before Christ)] It is not the same thing. Not even close.
B.C.E. / C.E or B.C. /A.D. What’s the difference?
B.C.E. (BEFORE COMMON ERA [or BEFORE CURRENT ERA] ― Anything to avoid all reference or mention of anything CHRISTIAN by atheist and anti-Christians and to remove A.D. [Anno Domini] and B.C. [Before Christ] from being used.
The argument here, claims to have a neutral point of view that would remove all reference to Jesus Christ by omitting the use of A.D Ano Domini and B.C. Before ChristThis argument brings forward a faulty if not egregious hypothesis. Without consideration of a person’s religious views analysis of the hypothesis of a neutral point of view (NPOV) must be made.
What is A NEUTRAL point of view? Such a fool’s errand would argue that a point of view could set forth a valid, genuine, authentic and simultaneously be neutral. What? This defies logic. A neutral point of view, were it possible, is no point of view at all. Rather, it’s illogical and by applying simple common sense, impossible. Anytime a point of view is combined, confused or blended with another one so that the properties are clouded, weakened or confused the actual definite and certain POV is lost and any rational adherence or support for it is now moot. A Neutral point of view exists only in the imagination of those who prefer confusion to a true, authentic, genuine, robust and proven point of a verifiable fact.
A neutral point of view, were it possible, would be, at best, illogical, unattainable, indefensible and irresponsible. The king of oxymorons.
Therefore, the mere consideration of an imagined but impossible and unattainable neutral point of view (NPOV) is ludicrous. A point of view cannot be NEUTRAL. An authentic point of view cannot be neutral, or ambiguous, but must clearly advance a singular, definite and certain point of view (POV). It cannot be both a POV and neutral. A neutral point of view is a logical impossibility. A neutral (POV), were it possible, would ignore the historical fact of Jesus Christ’s birth. The pretense of seeking a neutral point of view is therefore misleading and disingenuous.
The Lord Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh,
was born of a virgin 2025 years ago.
He’s alive today, has always existed as God’s eternal and everlasting Word,
and will soon return for his bride, the Church
[The body of all redeemed believers in Jesus Christ].
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.
Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.
You are invited to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior and Lord and to follow Him in believer’s baptism.
Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Do it] now: for thus it becometh us [is beautifully fitting and expected of us] to fulfil all righteousness.”
Baptism is not a requirement for salvation but it is the willing desire of all believers to demonstrate agreement and consistency with the righteousness of preaching Repentance and Baptism by John the Baptist and obedience to the scriptural teaching. The issue of baptism is therefore not an issue of salvation but of obedience and of fulfilling all righteousness.
Worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth will spring-up and be manifested in a sense of gratitude. Such worship can come through prayer, Bible reading, scriptural meditation and study. Fellowship in a local church body, hearing gospel preaching and singing of sacred hymns and spiritual songs are also acts of worship and reflects an active discipleship.
To this purpose, DailySpurgeon, is offered as a reliable, dependable and effective resource.
It is not intended, were it possible to take the place of fellowship or congregational worship in a local body of believers.
“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately comprehending and sharing] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
Trusting in and following the Lord Jesus Christ is our chief purpose. We trust Him for salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny according to His perfect will. We follow Him in soul winning through DailySpurgeon or any other instrumentality He may choose. We invite and encourage non-believers to turn away from sin, look to Him and be saved. We trust that believers (old and new) will benefit from its use knowing that He will sustain, guide and build us up as we are conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.

SERMON: The Metropolitan Tabernacle (Charles Spurgeon 1834-1892)
The Strategy of Resurrection John Ch. 20 with Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor
It is clear the resurrection was completely unexpected by the disciples. Here is how it came, first by gentle intimation, then with a caution, then as a proof of Christ's successful atonement, and then as a command to trust in the living Lord.
Mission and Invitation
The aim of this work is to save souls, strengthen and encourage believers in the Word, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ as we serve those in need. We believe the Bible is God’s revealed Word and that through His Word He guides us as individuals and as a local body of believers. We are resolved, God helping us, to study, meditate and pray to rightly divide God’s revealed Word holding it as the final authority in all things.
The purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to make known the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ to every creature. We aim to love the brethren, win souls, and build-up of the Body of Christ, [The Universal Church of true believers]. We purpose to publish the Good News of Jesus Christ and to proclaim (preach) HIM everywhere. We purpose also to serve everyone, especially those in the household of faith..
We believe the Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired (God breathed) Word. By His Word He guides us individually and corporately through His local Church.
God’s Word [The Bible] is the driving essence of all our work. To this end we annotate and reprint, unabridged, the sermons and publications from The Holy Bible that were preached and taught through Charles Haddad Spurgeon.

SPECIAL SPURGEON SERMON: “Why Men Cannot Believe in Christ”
[Christ Jesus]
URL: https://youtu.be/hHF1r74XaTQ?si=czhwYSJP9H53XqCy
Note: This Sermon was referenced in the Men’s Bible Study on Wednesday, August 14th 2024 at South Shores Church and is featured here as an unabridged Audio recording of Sermon # 1245 that was preached originally by Charles Spurgeon in 1875 from his home church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, U.K.
_____________________________________
Can You trust this website?
Is it of God?
Is it trustworthy?
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but [continually] be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth [confesses, says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] that confesseth not [doesn't confess] 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.
Hence, I confess [declare and affirm] "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh."
_________________________________
GOD’S WORD made Flesh has existed from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God. John 1:1-2
And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,
is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church
[*All redeemed believers].
"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."
Let me invite you to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess [declare] Him as such before men [publicly]. He will therefore be able to acknowledge and confess you before His Father in Heaven. He is The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Following your public confession, You also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism by immersion.
Jesus came from Galilee t o Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.”
Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, what Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him:
“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And then, Jesus said to him:
“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection and the believer’s new birth.
It bears witness with John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it is an act of obedience to fulfil all righteousness.
Romans 6:3-5:
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

Remembering Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would sometimes just bust-out singing the following songs; sometimes, on the way to church sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always kept in the truck’s CD player or, even better, a song the Lord would spontaneously put in his joyful and loving heart.
I LOVE You Lord by Jared Reynolds
How Great Thou Art with Elvis
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul by Elvis and friends
…Jon always said “Later”; [see-ya-later] instead of “good bye”. It was his standard greeting to bid farewell … He would never say “good-bye”. Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings very true as to its new and deeper meaning and it brings a joyfulness and comfort to the hearts of those he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.
… we are reminded of the promise of the Hymn:
’Till We Meet Again. Amen.
