1 John 4:1-3

Chapter 4
1Beloved, 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 [doesn’t confess] 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.

Hence, I confess here that "Jesus Christ is come [is presently here] in the flesh!"

John 1:1-2

Chapter 1

Authorized (King James) Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.

_________________________________________________

He was born of a virgin 2,026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea

He’s alive today, and is coming soon for His Bride; the Church.

1 Timothy 3:16

Chapter 3

"16 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."

You are invited to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior and your Lord and to publicly acknowledge Him as such. He will acknowledge you then to His Father; The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. You are also invited 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 [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right 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 Jesus’ innocence and said to him. “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 pictures the Lord’s death and resurrection and by extension through identification with Him, also pictures the believer’s death to self, atonement, and new, born-again life.

The ordinance of Baptism follows the preaching of John the Baptist. He preached the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, while the ordinance of baptism is not required for salvation it should be followed

to fulfil all righteousness.

_______________________________________________

You are invited to Worship Him

in Spirit and in truth.

This worship will manifest itself in fervent Prayer, Bible reading, study and meditation, Hearing and heeding inspired gospel preaching, The singing of sacred hymns and songs inspired by the Holy Ghost.

To encourage this, the Website: dailypurgeon.com may be helpful.

It cannot however, take the place of in-person congregational worship with a local body of believers.

“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately comprehending to share] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Becoming a more fully devoted follower of The Lord Jesus Christ is our sincere purpose. We trust Him for our salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny. We will, in His almighty power, win souls through the instrumentality He may inspire. We will 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 knowing that He will sustain, guide and build us up as we are being conformed to the image of Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

DailySpurgeon.com is an Internet presence of devotional writings, prayers and encouragement from Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He has rightly divided [preached and taught] God’s Word through Sermons from The Metropolitan Tabernacle, with sacred congregational music of worship and praise to encourage and strengthen edification from GOD’S Word and for the elect to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

1 John 4:1-3

4 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 [Holy] Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit 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 here that "Jesus Christ is come [is present, here] in the flesh!"

PRAYER 25, July 9th Part 3 of 10 THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD.

O, God, cover, we beseech [implore] Thee, cover with Thy feathers, all the people of [Jesus] Christ, and keep Thy Church even until He shall come. Who, having loved His own that were in the world, loveth [loves] them even to the end.

We would ask, just now, that we may be washed as to our feet; we trust Thou hast [have] bathed us once, for all, in the sin-removing fountain. Thou hast [have] also washed us in the waters of regeneration and given us the renewing of our minds, through Jesus Christ; but O for daily cleansing [we plead].

Dost [Do] Thou see any fault in us? Ah! we know that Thou dost [You do] . Wash us that we may be clean. Are we deficient in any virtue? Oh! supply it that we may exhibit a perfect character to the glory of Him who has made us anew in Christ Jesus.

Or is there something that would be good, if not carried to excess?

Be pleased to modify it lest [for fear that] one virtue should slaughter another, and we should [would] not be the image of Christ completely.

[I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 337: July 9th SAD RESULTS OF CARELESS CONDUCT.

There was a young minister once preaching very earnestly in a certain chapel, and he had to walk some four or five miles to his home along a country road after service. A young man, who had been deeply impressed under the sermon, requested the privilege of walking with the minister, with an earnest hope that he might get an opportunity of telling out his feelings to him, and obtaining some word of guidance or comfort.

Instead of that, the young minister all the way along told the most singular tales to those who were with him, causing loud roars of laughter, and even relating tales which bordered upon the indecorous. [worldly]

He stopped at a certain house, and this young man with him, and the whole evening was spent in frivolity and foolish talking. Some years after, when the minister had grown old, he was sent to the bedside of a dying man. He hastened thither [hurried there] with a heart desirous to do good. He was requested to sit down at the bedside; and the dying man, looking at him, and regarding him most closely, said to him,

“Do you remember preaching in such and such a village on such an occasion ?”

“I do,” said the minister.

“I was one of your hearers,” said the man, “and I was deeply impressed by the sermon.”

“Thank God for that,” said the minister.

“Stop!” said the man, “don’t thank God till you have heard the whole story. You will have reason to alter your tone before I have done.” The minister changed [his] countenance, but he little guessed what would be the full extent of that man’s testimony. Said he,

“Sir, do you remember, after you had finished that earnest sermon, I with some others walked home with you? I was sincerely desirous of being led in the right path that night; but I heard you speak in such a strain of levity, and with so much coarseness, too, that I went outside the house, while you were sitting down to your evening meal; I stamped my foot upon the ground;

I said that you were a liar, that Christianity was a falsehood; that if you could pretend to be so in earnest about it in the pulpit, and then come down and talk like that, the whole thing must be a sham; and I have been an infidel,” said he, “a confirmed infidel, from that day to this.

But I am not an infidel at this moment; I know better; I am dying, and I am about to be damned; and at the bar of God I will lay my damnation to your charge; my blood is on your head,” and with a dreadful shriek, and one demoniacal glance at the trembling minister, he shut his eyes and died.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK July 9th FAITHFUL AND USEFUL

-Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me- Psalm 101:6

-Mis ojos pondré en los fieles de la tierra, para que esten conmigo: El que anduviere en el camino de la perfección, este me sevirá- Salmos 101:6

If [King] David spoke thus, we may be sure that the Son of David will be of the same mind. Jesus looks out for faithful men, and He fixes [focuses] His eyes upon them, to observe them, to bring them forward, to encourage them, and to reward them.

Let no true-hearted man think that he is overlooked; the King Himself has His eye upon him.

There are two results of this royal notice. First we read,

-that they may dwell with me.-

Jesus brings the faithful into His house, He sets them in His palace, He makes them His companions, He delights in their society [He loves to be in their company]. We must be true to our Lord, and He will then manifest [make known] Himself to us. When our faithfulness costs us most, it will be best rewarded; the more furiously men reject [us] , the more joyfully will our Lord receive [welcome] Us.

Next, he says of the sincere man,

-he shall serve me.-

Jesus will use for His own glory those who scorn the tricks of policy [man-made rules], and are faithful to Himself, His Word, and His Cross. These shall be in His royal retinue [entourage], the honored servants of His Majesty. Communion [fellowship] and usefulness are the wages [rewards] of faithfulness.

Lord make me faithful, that I may dwell with thee, and serve thee.

Prayer: Thank You Father, that the faithful live in fellowship with You. Help me to follow You in the path of holiness each day so that I may be meet instrumentality in Your service. Thank You for such privilege. I pray this in Your name, Lord Jesus, Amen.

MORNING July 9

"Forget not all His benefits. "—Psalm 103:2

—No olvides ninguno de sus beneficios [de Jehová] — Salmos 103:2

IT is a delightful and profitable occupation to note [observe] the hand of God in the lives of ancient saints, and to observe His goodness in delivering them, His mercy in pardoning them, and His faithfulness in keeping His covenant with them.

But would it not be even more interesting and profitable for us to recount the hand of God in our own lives? Ought we not to look on our own history as being at least as full of God, as full of His goodness and of His truth, and as much a proof of His faithfulness and veracity as the lives of any of the saints who have gone before?

We do our Lord an injustice when we suppose that He wrought all His mighty acts and showed Himself strong for those in the earlier times, but does not perform wonders or lay bare his arm for the saints who are on the earth now.

Let us review our own lives. Surely in these we may discover some happy incidents, refreshing to ourselves and glorifying to our God.

Have you had no deliverances? Have you passed through no rivers, supported by the divine presence? Have you walked through no fires unharmed? Have you had no manifestations? Have you had no choice favors [blessings]? Has the God who gave Solomon the desire of his heart never listened to you and answered your requests?

Has that God of lavish [generous] bounty of whom David sang,

"Who satisfieth [satisfies] thy mouth with good things,"

never satiated [over-stuffed] you with [too much] fatness. Have you never been made to lie down in green pastures?

Have you never been led by the still waters?

Surely the goodness of God has been the same to us as to the saints of old.

Let us, then, weave His mercies into a song. Let us take the pure gold of thankfulness, and the jewels of praise and make them into another crown for the head of Jesus.

Let our souls give forth music as sweet and as exhilarating as came from David's harp while we praise the Lord, whose mercy endures [continues] forever.

EVENING July 9th

"And God divided the light from the darkness. " —Genesis 1:4

—Y apartó Dios la luz de las tinieblas. —Génesis 1:4

A BELIEVER has two principles at work with him. In his natural estate [lower nature] he was subject to one principle only—darkness; now light has entered, and the two principles disagree [are incompatible]. Note the apostle Paul's words in the seventh chapter of Romans:

"I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward [spiritual] man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my members [body]."

How is this state of things occasioned [How does this happen]? "The Lord divided the light from the darkness." Darkness by itself is quiet and undisturbed, but when the Lord sends in light there is a conflict, for the one is in opposition to the other: a conflict which will never cease till the believer is altogether light in the Lord. If there is a division within [inside] the individual Christian, there is certain to be a division without [on the outside].

So [As] soon as the Lord gives to any man light, he proceeds to separate himself from the darkness around; he secedes [leaves] from a merely worldly religion of outward ceremony, for

nothing short of [less than] the gospel [good news] of [Jesus] Christ will now satisfy him, and he withdraws himself from worldly society [cultures] and frivolous amusements, and seeks the company of the saints [true believers], for

"We know we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren."

The light gathers to itself, and the darkness to itself. What God has divided, let us never try to unite, but as Christ went without [outside] the camp bearing His reproach [the cross], so let us come out from the ungodly and be a peculiar [singular] people.

He was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and as He was,

so we are to be nonconformists to the world, dissenting from all sin and distinguished from the rest of mankind by our likeness to our Master.

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking

WHAT ARE HIS NAMES?

(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.”

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.

Romans 11:33

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.

By Dr. Phil Stringer

In Defense of I John 5:7

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.”

Why The Traditional Greek Text Also Known As The Received Text [Latin: Textus Receptus] TR is Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable.

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than both the Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, Primary Greek sources used in all Critical Text translations.

This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.

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 consummate their Marriage in the Marriag 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, not written 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, the 1769 Edition [NOT the NEW King James Bibles based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible.

This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions Combined.
______________________________________

The Critical Text vs. The Traditional Text

(Also Known As The Received Text , The Textus Receptus TR , and The Authorised Version AV and AKJV)

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 with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:

Easier to read.
More modern.
More accurate (Not true)

The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.

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.

We’re Grateful.

Thank you, Lord, for DailySpurgeon.com a website to encourage and support personal devotions to the Lord Jesus. This ministry started with sending e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon to Jon Edward Riley and others he would include..

Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021.

His memory is honored here, giving honor to whom honor is due. We pray that through this and all other instrumentalities that God may effect, many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and supported to grow in personal devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ while being conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren.. Romans 13:7 Romans 8:28-29

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE: by Jon Edward Riley,

(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)

From an Indigenous, Irish, well beloved All-American son giving a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for in: “The heart of Freedom”

INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds at White Shield, North Dakota.

… a compassionate prayer of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the Military Service of Native-American Scouts serving the United States of America. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.

________________________________________

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood bought, born-again child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.

… Jon’s testimony is 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 present with the LORD in glory forever. One with whom we’ll one day meet again.

Amen.

Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes 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 and loving heart.

SACRED LITERATURE: The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

Note: Spurgeon was taught to read at a very early age and read The Pilgrim’s Progress for the first time when he was six years old. He would return to re-read it over 100 times. He made many references to it in his sermons as Pastor of The Metropolitan Tabernacle in London.

Excerpt from Sermon: II. § 5 THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY,

WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU

"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon] of Mr. Bunyan’s picture in The Pilgrim’s Progress. of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams [ancient weapons of war] had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [melodies], for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart [main castle] he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.

Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus; it is our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.

Spurgeon’s Full Sermon: Christ in You, May 13, 1883 Scripture: Colossians 1:27 From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 29 (cit. II. The Mystery of this is Christ In You, the hope of glory.
