PRAYER 17, April 30th Part 6 of 8 TO BE LIKE CHRIST.
Bless us, [Dear Father] we pray Thee, as to our example and influence. May it always be of a salutary [healthy] kind; may there be sweetness and light about us which all must be obliged [obligated] to perceive. Not for our honor would we crave [desire] this, but that our light may so shine before men that they may “see our good works and glorify our Father which is in heaven.” The Lord grant us this! We beseech Thee [earnestly pray that You will], bless the unconverted among us; bring them in, dear Savior, bring them in. Help the living among us to compel [urge forcefully] them to come in that Thy [Your] house may be filled; may something of a sacred compulsion be used that they may not be left outside to starve in the highways and hedges [country-side], but be brought in to the Gospel feast. [to the Good news of Jesus Christ,] [We ask this In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 269: April 30th CHRISTIAN GLADNESS.
There is an expression in the Greek that never has been rendered into English, and never will be. Old [John] Trapp half puns upon the agalliasthe as he says, “dance a galliard.” I do not know what a “galliard” was, but I suppose that it was some very joyous kind of dance. Certainly we know of no better way of translating our Lord’s word than by exult, or leap for joy. Even when your good name shall be tarnished by the malice of the wicked, then you are to leap. When are you to be wretched? Surely despondency is excluded.
If slander is to make us dance, when are we to fret? Suppose some other kind of trial should come upon you, you are still to rejoice in the Lord always.
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK April 30th THE OVERCOMER’S REWARD
by C. H. Spurgeon 1834 - 1892
-To him that overcometh [overcomes] will I give to eat of the hidden manna [God’s Word, food miraculously sent from heaven] , and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he [no one knows except for the one] that receiveth [receives] it- Revelation 2:17
-Al que venciere, dare a comer del mana escondido, y le dare una piedrecita blanca, y en la piedrecita un nombre nuevo escrito, el cual ninguno conoce sino aquel que lo recibe- Apocalipsis 2:17
My heart, be thou stirred up [Oh my! I’m excited] to persevere [keep on keeping on] in the holy war, for the reward of victory is great. Today we eat of heavenly food which falls about our camps; the food of the wilderness, the food which comes from Heaven, the food which never fails the pilgrims [on their way] to Canaan. But there is reserved for us in Christ Jesus a still higher degree of spiritual life, and a food for it which, as yet is hidden from our experience. In the golden pot which was laid up in the ark [of the covenant] there was a portion of manna hidden away, which though kept for ages never grew stale. No one ever saw it; it was hid with the ark of the covenant, in the Holy of Holies.[The most holy place that only once per year the high priest entered] Even so, the highest life of the believer is hid with Christ, in God. We shall come to it soon. Being made victorious through the grace of our Lord Jesus, we shall eat of the King s meat, and feed upon royal dainties. We shall feed upon Jesus.[The Word of God]
He is our -hidden manna- [nourishment] as well as the manna of the wilderness. He is all in all to us in our highest, as well as in our lowest estate. He helps us to fight, gives us the victory, and then is Himself our reward. Lord, help me to overcome.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord that You will help Your soldiers to overcome and give us the hidden manna to eat [spiritual nourishment miraculously preserved, the bread of life, Jesus Christ] and will give us a white stone, and in the stone a new name will be written, which no man knows except for the one that receives it-
Give me blessed assurance in knowing that my life is hidden with Jesus Christ in God. Bless me Lord Jesus with patience knowing that Your promises are definite, certain and always come to pass . I believe that You died for me and that God raised You from the dead, victorious over sin, Satan and the grave. Thank You for saving me. Preserve and keep me holy in Christ Jesus. -I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.- Galatians 2:20. I rejoice with the angels in heaven for each repentant sinner that looks to You and is saved. Luke 15:7. Please help me to share this good news with every creature in Jesus Messiah’s name, Amen.

… and pray that many will trust in Jesus Christ and be saved.
Pray also that all pastors, workers and believers everywhere rightly divide God’s everlasting Word, to declare, preach and share the good news that Jesus suffered and died on the cross so that eternal life is given to all who trust in Him. Pray that all redeemed, born-again blood-bought children of God abide faithful to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with all creatures.
MORNING April 30th "AND ALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL MURMURED [WHINED AND COMPLAINED]." —Numbers 14:2
---Y quejáronse … todos los hijos de Israel —Números 14:2
THERE are murmurers [complainers, whiners and non-stop critics] among Christians now, as there were in the camp of Israel of old. There are those who, when the rod falls, cry out against the afflictive dispensation. They ask, "Why am I thus afflicted? What have I done to be chastened in this manner?"
A word with you, O murmurer! Why should you murmur against the dispensations of your heavenly Father? Can [Is it possible that] He treat you more hardly [harder] than you deserve? Consider what a rebel you once were, but he has pardoned you! Surely, if He in His wisdom sees fit now to chasten [discipline and correct] you, you should not complain. After all, are you smitten [smacked] as hard as your sins deserve? Consider the corruption in your breast [heart], and then will you wonder that there need be so much of the rod [spanking stick] to drive it out? Weigh yourself, and discern how much dross [impurity] is mingled with your gold; and do you think the fire too hot to purge away so much dross as you have?
Does not that proud rebellious spirit of yours prove that your heart is not thoroughly sanctified? Are not those murmuring words contrary to the holy submissive nature of God's children? Is not [Isn’t] the correction needed? But if you will murmur against the chastening, take heed, for it will go hard with [be rough on] murmurers. God always chastises [disciplines] His children twice, if they do not bear the first stroke patiently. But know one thing—"He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men." All His corrections are sent in love, to purify you, and to draw you nearer to Himself. Surely it must help you to bear the chastening with resignation if you are able to recognize your Father's hand. For "whom the Lord loveth [loves] He chasteneth, [corrects] and scourgeth [whips] every son whom He receiveth [accepts].
If ye endure chastening [being spanked], God dealeth [deals] with you as with sons." "Murmur not as some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer."
EVENING April 30th "HOW PRECIOUS ALSO ARE THY THOUGHTS UNTO ME, 0 GOD."
—Psalm 139:17
---Así que ¡cuán preciosos me son, oh Dios, tus pensamientos! —Salmos 139:17
DIVINE omniscience [infinite knowledge] affords no comfort to the ungodly mind, but to the child of God it overflows with consolation [comfort]. God is always thinking of us, never turns aside His mind from us, has us always before His eyes; and this is precisely as we would have it, for it would be dreadful to exist for a moment beyond the observation of our heavenly Father. His thoughts are always tender, loving, wise, prudent [righteous], far-reaching, and they bring to us countless benefits: hence [therefore] it is a choice delight to remember them. The Lord always did think on His people: hence [from which comes] their election and the covenant of grace by which their salvation is secured; He always will think of them: hence [from which comes] their final perseverance [endurance to the end] by which they shall be brought safely to their final rest. In all our wanderings the watchful glance of the Eternal Watcher [God almighty] is evermore fixed upon us—we never roam beyond the Shepherd's eye. In our sorrows He observes us incessantly, and not a pang [the smallest pain] escapes Him; in our toils He marks all our weariness, and writes in His book all the struggles of His faithful ones. These thoughts of the Lord encompass us in all our paths, and penetrate the innermost region of our being. Not a nerve or tissue, valve or vessel, of our body’s organization is uncared for;
all the Tittles [the small, horizontal line written to complete the writing of a “T”] of our little world are thought upon [about] by the great God.
A.D. did not and does NOT mean “After Death” as many have erroneously thought. It actually is the Latin abbreviation for Anno Domini, a Latin phrase adopted into English that means “Year of our Lord”. It is used together with B.C. Before Christ to divide and describe all time before and after the birth of Jesus Christ.
B.C.E is not a synonym for B.C. (Before Christ)] Does it mean the same thing? No, it doesn’t. Not even close.
B.C.E./C.E or B.C./A.D.? What’s the difference?
B.C.E. (is an abbreviation for Before COMMON Era, Before CURRENT Era and sometimes erroneously Before CHRISTIAN Era) and from its inception continues to be an attempt by atheist, agnostics and other non-Christians to remove the long established practice of referencing Jesus Christ, His date of birth or his Lordship with A.D or B.C. , abbreviations needed to describe a specific time in history. This argument for change postulates merit in a “neutral” point of view that would eliminate all reference to Jesus Christ, his birth or Lordship. They have sought to accomplish this By replacing the use of A.D and B.C. with B.C.E and C.E. This argument sets up a faulty and egregious hypothesis. Even without consideration of a person’s religious views an analysis of the use, were it to be possible, of a neutral point of view (NPOV) would be considered ludicrous.
What? A NEUTRAL point of view? Such a hypothesis would portend that a point of view can be properly set forth as valid, genuine, authentic and defensible but also remain neutral. A neutral point of view, were it possible, is no point of view at all. This is both illogical and impossible. Anytime a point of view is combined, confused or blended with another so that its properties or constructs are clouded, weakened, confused or in any way neutralized the POV is lost and any argument of support for it is now moot. A neutral point of view exists only in the imagination of those who prefer confusion to authentic, genuine, robust argument supported with authentic and valid points of view.
A neutral point of view, were it possible, is illogical, unattainable, indefensible and irresponsible.
Therefore to argue for an imagined, impossible and unattainable neutral point of view (NPOV) is plainly ludicrous. A point of view is inherently and by definition NOT NEUTRAL. An issue or argument is either neutral, without a preferred or singular point of view, or it patently displays a defensible point of view; the lack of neutrality being self evident. It cannot be both. Hence a neutral point of view is impossible. Such a phrase taken with its normal and common sense meaning is ipso facto [by that very fact or act. factually self evident], an oxymoron per se [in itself] . The illusive unobtainable (NPOV) desired here but without convincing argument is a point of view that ignores, and negates the historical fact of Jesus Christ’s birth. Ignoring this fact and using an imagined neutral point of view, falsely so called, is disingenuous.
The Lord Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh,
was born of a virgin A.D. 2026 years ago.
He’s alive today, has always existed from eternity past 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 confess this belief through a public confession of faith in Jesus Christ and following 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 [Allow this to be done]: for thus it becometh us to [it is fitting for us to] fulfil all righteousness.” Matthew 3:15
Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged his innocence and said to him [Jesus]. “Remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
The act of Baptism shows obedience in following the Lord’s ordinance and pictures His death and resurrection to atone for the sin of all who will trust Him.
Baptism also bears witness to the preaching of John the Baptist of the Kingdom of Heaven being at hand and exhorts Repentance from sin and the Baptism by immersion of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but must occur in obedience to the ordinance of baptism and to fulfil 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 reflect 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.

A SINNER’S PRAYER: April 30th (FOR WHOSOEVER):
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner hopeless without You. I would never be able to save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. By nature and practice I am a natural-born sinner. I’m totally depraved and I sin because I am a sinner. Please forgive me.
I realize that doing my best or being as good as possible, or being better than other people or having good excuses can never save me.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, by name, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin. Your Word says, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Thank You, Lord.
Right now, I surrender my sinful self to You, just as I am, Lord Jesus. I trust You to forgive me and save me and be my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry for every sin (bad thoughts, words and things I have done) and look to You to forgive me of them all. I need your strength to overcome sin’s temptations. Thank you for forgiving me.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.
Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You still love me.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You have made the way to save me and have drawn me away from sin and death into Life in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus. He took my place, suffered and died for punishment that I deserved.
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. In Christ Jesus there is therefore now no condemnation.
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for the Holy Spirit you will send for my guidance, comfort and solemn instruction into all truth, Amen.”
With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.
Please allow us to celebrate your new birth with the angels in heaven who are celebrating right now. Please e-mail or write to: The John Mark Publishing Company, PO BOX 21, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92693, U.S.A. or e-mail: dailyspurgeon@aol.com .

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, HE Arose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is GOD’S INCARNATE WORD [GOD’S WORD made flesh] and His EVERLASTING [Once, and For ALL] SACRIFICE for ALL Sin]. HE is The Lamb of God, God’s WORD in Human flesh.] The CHURCH is His Body, the BODY of *CHRIST,
(The *MESSIAH). The CHURCH is His espoused [Divinely and legally promised (and legally bound) Bride], to whom HE will return and wed [marry].
This singular event, the birth of Jesus Christ, establishes and defines all chronology [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

by David Hocking
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF HIS NAME?
(1 One) His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

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 Lord Jesus *Christ
[*Anointed Messiah]
was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost, and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.
He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.
He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.] The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]
[The CHURCH] is HIS espoused [Legally Bound] Bride, for whom HE will come again to Complete the Marriage in their Wedding Ceremony and The Marriage Supper of the Lamb, also known as The Wedding Feast.
This singular event of The birth of Jesus Christ describes, defines and establishes all 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 FOR EVER (sic) SHALL BE]
Jesus Christ is GOD’s 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, were, immutably and forever, Divinely Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible and Providentially Preserved and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by 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 Is the fundamental scriptural basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and 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 [Life 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
*(The Anointed Messiah)].
GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

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 Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]
The Traditional 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 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)
