DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for February 18th *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.
*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.

(2 hrs. 49 mins.)
This Documentary presents comprehensive historical facts that led to the unending plethora of over 100 published versionsof the English Bible. These continual but unsuccessfulattempts to replace the King James Version KJV Bible will not succeed because GOD Himselfpreserves and protects His Holy Scriptures from all heresy, blasphemy, compromise and confusion.
THE BEST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE:
GOD’S WORD (Immutable, Unchanged and Unchangeable, God breathed, Self-Authenticating. Providentially Preserved and Protected. Forever Settled in Heaven, Psalm 119:89) The Authorized King James Bible
Which Bible Is The Best? David Hocking (57 min)
Verdict (8 min.) The problem is not with translating the Bible into the English language. The problem occurs and continues to exist due to additional erroneous and sometimes heretical Greek texts that are created by men who believe themselves competent, authorized and meet [perfectly matched] scribes of The LORD to influence and therefore change the Word of God.
To believe God’s Word is unsettled is folly because
For ever, O Lord, thy Word is settled in heaven. Psalms 119:89
[The Textus Receptus (Received Text) was rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts known as the Majority Text MT. These manuscripts agree overwhelmingly [99%] with one
another, are inerrant and do not contain any of the heretical biases found in the Greek Text created by Westcott & Hort, Nestle & Aland or the Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus.
The Foundational support of these Greek Texts rest upon only 45 hand-picked manuscripts from the extant Majority Text instead of all 5,321.

A SINNER’S PRAYER
PRAYER 9, Part 3 of 3
GLORIOUS LIBERTY.
God, bless our country, and the sister country [The United States of America] across the flood [Atlantic Ocean], and all lands where Thy name is known and reverenced, and heathen lands where it is unknown. God, bless the outposts, the first heralds of mercy, and everywhere may the Lord’s kingdom come and His name be glorified. Glory be unto the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. [In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ] Amen.
(Attachment: PRAYER 9.doc).
ANECDOTE 201: February 18 Faith in Tribulation.
Oh! What a precious thing faith is, when we are enabled to believe our God, and how easy then it is to endure and to surmount [be sustained over] all trouble. Hear the old man in the garret [attic], with a crust of bread and a cup of cold water. Sickness has confined him these years within that narrow room. He is too poor to maintain an attendant. Some woman comes in to look in on him in the morning and in the evening, and there he sits, in the depths of poverty. And you will suppose he sits and groans.
No, brethren; he may sometimes groan when the body is weak, but usually he sits and sings; and when the visitor climbs the creaking staircase of that old house, where human beings scarcely ought to be allowed to live; and when he goes into that poor cramped up room that is more fit to accommodate swine [pigs] than men, he sits down upon that bottomless chair, and when he has seated himself as well as he can upon the four cross pieces of it he [the visitor] begins to talk to him, and he finds him full of heaven.
“Oh! Sir,” he says,
“my God is very kind to me.”
Propped up he is with pillows, and full of pain in every member of his body, but he says,
“Blessed be his name, he has not left me. Oh! Sir, I have enjoyed more peace and happiness in this room, out of which I have not gone for years,”
(the case is real that I [Spurgeon] am now describing)
“I have enjoyed more happiness here than I ever did in all my life. My pains are great, sir, but they will not be for long;
I am going home soon.”
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK FEBRUARY 18 GOD WILL ANSWER by C.H. Spurgeon
-He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them- Psalm 145:19
-Cumplira el deseo de los que le temen; Oirá asimismo el clamor de ellos, y los salvará -
Salmos 145:19
His own Spirit has wrought [put] this desire in us, and therefore He will answer it. It is His own life within which prompts the cry, and therefore He will hear it. Those who fear Him are men under the holiest influence, and, therefore, their desire is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever.
Like Daniel, they are men of [holy] desires, and the Lord will cause them to realize their aspirations. Holy desires are grace in the blade [life, just beginning to grow], and the heavenly Husbandman [Gardener] will cultivate them till they come to the full corn in the ear [ear of corn].
God-fearing men desire to be holy, to be useful, to be a blessing to others, and so to honor their Lord. They desire supplies for their need, help [when] under burdens, guidance in perplexity, deliverance in distress; and sometimes this desire is so strong, and their case so pressing, that they cry out in agony, like little children in pain, and then the Lord works most comprehensively, and does all that is needful, according to this Word
-and will save them.-
Yes, if we fear God, we have nothing else to fear; if we cry to the Lord, our salvation is certain. Let the reader lay this text on his tongue, and keep it in his mouth all the day, and it will be to him as
-a wafer [thin crisp cake, cookie or cracker] made with honey.-
Prayer: Thank you Lord that You place a fear of Thyself in us, hear our cry, fulfill our desire and save us. Thank you in Jesus name, Amen.
MORNING February 18
“Show me wherefore thou contendest [why you contend] with me.”— Job 10:2
─ Hazme entender Por qué pleiteas conmigo. — Job 10:2
PERHAPS, O tired soul [one], the Lord is doing this to develop your graces. There are some of your graces which would never be discovered if it were not for your trials. Don’t you know that your faith never looks so grand in summer weather as it does in winter?
Love is too often like a glowworm [lightening bug, firefly], showing but little light except it be in the midst of surrounding darkness. Hope itself is like a star—not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity [tough times]. Afflictions are often the black foils [backgrounds] in which God sets the jewels of His children’s graces to make them shine the better [brighter].
It was but a little while ago that on your knees you were Saying,
“Lord, I fear I have no faith [I’m afraid I don’t have any faith]: let me know that I have faith.”
Was not this really, though perhaps unconsciously, praying for trials? For how can you know that you have faith until your faith is exercised?
Depend upon it, God often sends us trials that our graces may be discovered, and that we may be cer¬tain of their existence. Besides , not merely [only] discovery, but real growth in grace is the result of sanctified [God given] trials. God often takes away our comforts and our privileges in order to make us better Christians. He trains His sol¬diers, not in tents of ease and luxury, but by turning them out and using them for forced marches and hard service. He makes them ford [cross] through streams, and swim through rivers, and climb mountains, and walk many a long mile with heavy knapsacks of sorrow on their backs.
Well, Christian, may not this account [be the reason] for the troubles through which you are passing?
Isn’t the Lord bringing out your graces, and making them grow? Isn’t this the reason why He is contending with you?
Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to His feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there.EVENING February 18
EVENING February 18
“Father, I have sinned. “—Luke 15:18
─Padre, he pecado─ Lucas 15:18
IT is quite certain that those whom Christ has washed in His precious blood need not make a confession of sin, as culprits or criminals, before God the Judge. For Christ has forever taken away all their sins in a legal sense, so that they no longer stand where they can be condemned, but are once [and] for all accepted in the Beloved.
But having become children, and offending as children, ought they not go every day before their heavenly Father and confess their sin, and acknowledge their iniquity in that way?
Nature teaches [in little consciences] that it is the duty of erring children to make a confession to their earthly father, and the grace of God in the heart teaches us that we, as Christians, owe the same duty to our heavenly Father.
We daily offend, and ought not rest without daily pardon. For, supposing that my trespasses against my Father are not at once taken to Him to be washed away by the cleansing power of the Lord Jesus, what will be the consequence?
If I have not sought forgiveness and been washed from these offences against my Father, I may feel at a distance from Him; I may doubt His love for me; I may tremble at Him; I may be afraid to pray to Him. I will become like the prodigal, who, although still a [His] child, was yet far off from his father.
But if, with a child’s sorrow at offending so gracious and loving a Parent, I go to Him and tell Him all, and rest not until I realize that I am forgiven, then I will feel a holy love for my Father, and will go through my Christian career not only as saved, but as one enjoying present peace in God through Jesus Christ my Lord.
There is a wide distinction between confessing sin as a culprit, [who intends the wrong] and confessing sin as a child. The Father’s bosom [place closest to a father’s heart] is the place for penitent confessions.
We have been cleansed once for all, but our feet still need to be washed
from the defilement of our daily walk as children of God.

A SINNER’S PRAYER: … FOR WHOSOEVER:
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … pray like this, won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am lost. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. My nature and behavior has been sinful from birth. Please forgive me.
I realize that doing my best, being as good as possible, or being better than other people can never save me. . I’m sorry for each and every sin I have ever done and look to You to forgive them all.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross for me, as God’s sacrifice for my sin.
Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You to be my Savior and Lord.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I want to follow You from now on.
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 love me still
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus.
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.
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for Your comfort and guidance in all things.
With all my heart, thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, 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… 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.
This KJV Translation is from the Textus Receptus (TR) [Received Text] and is rendered from the 5,321 extant Greek manuscript texts known as The Majority Text MT. The Majority texts are in substantial and overwhelming agreement (99%) with each other and avoid heretical, secular biases, ambiguities or unsupported primary Greek source texts of the variant readings in codices Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus [from the Vatican]. These inferior Greek translations along with those invented by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland conspire to create many weakened variant readings agreed to in most modern Bible Translations.
There is substantial disagreement and missing texts among these Greek codices and translations which do not agree with one another, and are created from incomplete codex fragments and introduce the modern biblical criticism theory that embraces ambiguities, uncertainties and variant readings [multiple interpretations]. These are found in a multitude of new English translations and contain doctrinal compromises that nuance-away or otherwise diminish the highest glory due to God Almighty. The TR is the original primary New Testament Greek source of the Authorized King James Translation and it is the ONLY ENGLISH translation that comes directly and exclusively from the providentially protected, preserved and inspired [God Breathed] Textus Receptus.
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.

SPECIAL SPURGEON SERMON: “Why Men Cannot Believe in Christ”
[Christ Jesus]

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."
___________________________________________________________________
He has always 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.
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 by saying 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 being Born Again.
It bears witness to the truth John the Baptist preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand requiring Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it needed 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.

Following the Lord Jesus Christ in His purpose for us is our desire. We trust Him for our salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny. We desire to and will, with His help, follow Him in soul winning by use of DailySpurgeon or any instrumentality He may bestow. 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 in 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.

Is this website dailyspurgeon.com trustworthy?
Is it true? Is it of God?
We should apply the following Scripture to everything we hear/read to discern whether what we are hearing or reading is of God and therefore whether or not it should be believed.
1 John 4:1-3 Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [word] you hear but be testing the spirits [words] whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Here’s how you know if it is the Spirit [voice] of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come from God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not 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 beloved, we must test every voice [written or spoken] to discern whether it is from God or not. By applying these scripture verses we can determine with certainty if the scriptural standard that protects believers from believing false prophets has been met. We can thereby identify false witnesses and determine not to believe or follow them. The voice [spirit] being tested should not be believed unless it confesses [states] that…
“Jesus Christ is here, in the flesh having come from God .”
The Two New Testiment Greek Texts that were created by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland do not make this 1 John 4:1-4confession nor do they follow the Textus Receptus rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts, which agree overwhelmingly [99%] with each other known as as the Majority Text. The 5,321 Majority Text Manuscripts are the source from which the trusted Textus Receptus was rendered.
Instead, these two purveyors of Greek texts used their own Greek translations that they created by hand picking only 45 of the 5,321extant Greek manuscripts. When these 45 Manuscripts were silent as to the text being translated, they simply inserted their own invented and unfounded Greek text.
This invented Greek translation presented variant readings different than the Textus Receptus [Received Text] in many places. One example from 1 John, Chapter 4 where all English translations other than the King James version overlook the original Greek verb “ictin” [To be] [is] (third person singular) that is translated in substantially all Majority Texts MT and subsequently in the Textus Receptus [Received Text] and therefore have failed to correctly translate the Greek verb as, “Is come” [Is here]. (correctly Translated from the Textus Receptus [Received Text (TR)] in the King James Version)
This error occurs because the modern critical Greek text, created by Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland DO NOT follow the MT [Majority Texts] of 5,321 Greek manuscripts that affirm substantial agreement with one another. The TR [Textus Receptus] is rendered from an overwhelming agreement found among the Majority Text of 5,321 primary Greek manuscript sources.
Both Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland ignore the verb “is”, from their invented Greek text and place “has come” instead.
This error may be legally described as res ipsa loquitur a latin phrase that means “the thing speaks for itself”.
Therefore, the Greek inventions generated by these two sources are not actually translations, even though they are introduced as translations, but actually represent their own Greek language inventions unsupported by the reliability of the Majority Texts and the Textus Receptus.
How do we know?
We know because both non-believers and false prophets assert that Jesus Christ
“has come” in the flesh.
Practically anyone can make this confession as the birth of Jesus Christ is considered by historians to be the most well documented fact in all of human history.
That He has come is generally acknowledged by nonbelievers and believers alike. However, here’s the point. There is a huge difference in meaning between “Has come” and “Is Here”. “Has come” is woefully short of the essential and clear meaning of the confession “Is Here”.
Just because something “has come” it can not be assumed, inferred or deduced that it also “is here”.
The “has come” assertion is generally held. It is not, per se, a false statement. Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. However, this falls short of presenting a logical rubric to discern whether the sprit [voice] being tested [tried] is from God or from false prophets in the spirit of antichrist.
Again, the expression “has come” rather than “is come” [is here] is not, per se a false statement.
However, it fails to deliver a valid hypothesis, by which spiritual understanding can be discerned. The failure is in establishing a logical and rhetorically sound rubric by which discernment can be rendered as to the question of whether spirits [words] are from God or from false prophets or the spirit of antichrist.
Actually, when the term “has come” is used it is true. However, this wide-spread belief held to be historically correct by practically everyone, does not provide a sound rubric or standard with which to discern whether a voice [spoken or written words] are from God or the spirit of Antichrist.
Almost anyone [or any voice] can declare that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But as you can see, this does not provide any discernment as to whether something should or should not be believed as being from God and therefore as true and to be believed and followed.
Why? Once again, because almost anyone can and often does confess that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But, this is an insufficient standard by which discernment can be rightly judged. The standard in God’s Word is whether the confession that Jesus is here, per se, is being made, yes or no. This confession gives an efficacious standard to discern truth from error.
Again, while it is true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, this alone is inadequate to discern truth from error. “Has come” does not mean the same thing as “is come [is here], from God, in the flesh” and therefore fails to be valid for true spiritual discernment.
For further understanding , we compare Scripture with scripture in 1 John 4:1-3 and Ephesians 5:30-32
we comprehend God’s message regarding the body of Jesus Christ being in the Flesh vis-à-vis The Body of Christ, The Corporate Church.
Compare Scripture with Scripture: 1 John 4:1-3 with Ephesians 5:30-32
1 John 4:1-3 Authorized (King James) Version
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 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.
Ephesians 5:30-32
Authorized (King James) Version
30 for we are members of his [Jesus Christ’s] 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 the church.
[So, we are flesh and bone members of His body, We are] one flesh with Him, The Body of Christ is (In the flesh); and is the incarnate Body of believers.
He was born of a virgin 2025 years ago and He’s alive today.
He’s coming again soon, for His bride; the Church [Blood-bought, Born-again members of His body].
When a believer considers the fact that they are members of the body of Christ [The Church] , they will see and acknowledge that…
“Jesus Christ is here, from God, in the flesh,” because We are the Body of Christ; The Church, in the flesh!
Amen.

THE BEST BIBLE TRANSLATION:
Why The KING JAMES is Best by Steven Houck
Even though [some misinformed Bible readers believe] the King James Version has its weaknesses, it is an excellent translation and by far the best version [and the version most in demand today]. We must not be taken in by the modern versions and their claims. Our 400 years old Bible is to be preferred above all others because it is better than them all.
1) It was translated by men who are unsurpassed in their knowledge of Biblical studies.
2) The translators were pious men of God who believed in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.
3) It is the mature fruit of generations of English translations as well as the careful work of its translators.
4) The King James Version is based upon the Received Text rather than the critical Greek text of modern versions. [vis. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.]
5) It is a word-for-word translation which faithfully and accurately reflects the originals [of the Majority Texts, MT].
6) The language is one of reverence and respect which gives honor [and greater glory] to the majesty of its Author.
7) Of all the English versions of today, it alone is the Bible of the Reformation.
8) Our spiritual forefathers thought so highly of it that they were willing to suffer and even die for it.
9) It is the version which has been recognized for generations and generations as the Bible God has given to His English-speaking Church.
[A 10th reason why it is best is added here by DailySpurgeon.com]
10) The KJV is the work of 54 translators selected and organized into seven companies. (2), from Westminster (2), from Cambridge, (2), from Oxford and (1) from London. The work was done openly allowing each company to receive inquiries or comments during the course of the work. When an issue of disagreement arose, it was addressed in Prayer and discussion was continued until the difference was resolved unanimously and without objection.
BEST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE:
GOD’S WORD (Immutable, God breathed, Self-Authenticating. Providentially Protected and Preserved and Forever Settled in Heaven, Psalm 119:89) The Authorized King James Bible
Commitment to the Word of God
Long before the Conservative Resurgence, Dr. R.G. Lee was the Southern Baptist champion of biblical infallibility and inerrancy. In his sermon, “The Word of God – Not Broken and Not Bound,” first published in 1930, Dr. Lee proclaimed, “All who wrote are immortalized by their writing of this great Book [The Holy Bible],
… “supernatural in origin, divine in authorship, human in penmanship, infallible in authority, infinite in scope, universal in interest, personal in application, regenerative in power, inspired [God breathed] in totality.”
Dr Robert G. Lee preached a sermon Payday Someday over 1,000 times and was the Senior Pastor of one of the first Megachurches, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee,

DEVOTION for February 18th *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.
*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.

(2 hrs. 49 mins.)
This Documentary presents comprehensive historical facts that led to the unending plethora of over 100 published versionsof the English Bible. These continual but unsuccessfulattempts to replace the King James Version KJV Bible will not succeed because GOD Himselfpreserves and protects His Holy Scriptures from all heresy, blasphemy, compromise and confusion.
THE BEST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE:
GOD’S WORD (Immutable, Unchanged and Unchangeable, God breathed, Self-Authenticating. Providentially Preserved and Protected. Forever Settled in Heaven, Psalm 119:89) The Authorized King James Bible
Which Bible Is The Best? David Hocking (57 min)
Verdict (8 min.) The problem is not with translating the Bible into the English language. The problem occurs and continues to exist due to additional erroneous and sometimes heretical Greek texts that are created by men who believe themselves competent, authorized and meet [perfectly matched] scribes of The LORD to influence and therefore change the Word of God.
To believe God’s Word is unsettled is folly because
For ever, O Lord, thy Word is settled in heaven. Psalms 119:89
[The Textus Receptus (Received Text) was rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts known as the Majority Text MT. These manuscripts agree overwhelmingly [99%] with one
another, are inerrant and do not contain any of the heretical biases found in the Greek Text created by Westcott & Hort, Nestle & Aland or the Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus.
The Foundational support of these Greek Texts rest upon only 45 hand-picked manuscripts from the extant Majority Text instead of all 5,321.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK: February 18 GOD WILL ANSWER
-He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them— Psalm 145:19
MORNING: “Show me wherefore thou contendest with me.”[Tell me why you argue with me.] —Job 10:2

A SINNER’S PRAYER
PRAYER 9, Part 3 of 3
GLORIOUS LIBERTY.
God, bless our country, and the sister country [The United States of America] across the flood [Atlantic Ocean], and all lands where Thy name is known and reverenced, and heathen lands where it is unknown. God, bless the outposts, the first heralds of mercy, and everywhere may the Lord’s kingdom come and His name be glorified. Glory be unto the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. [In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ] Amen.
(Attachment: PRAYER 9.doc).
ANECDOTE 201: February 18 Faith in Tribulation.
Oh! What a precious thing faith is, when we are enabled to believe our God, and how easy then it is to endure and to surmount [be sustained over] all trouble. Hear the old man in the garret [attic], with a crust of bread and a cup of cold water. Sickness has confined him these years within that narrow room. He is too poor to maintain an attendant. Some woman comes in to look in on him in the morning and in the evening, and there he sits, in the depths of poverty. And you will suppose he sits and groans.
No, brethren; he may sometimes groan when the body is weak, but usually he sits and sings; and when the visitor climbs the creaking staircase of that old house, where human beings scarcely ought to be allowed to live; and when he goes into that poor cramped up room that is more fit to accommodate swine [pigs] than men, he sits down upon that bottomless chair, and when he has seated himself as well as he can upon the four cross pieces of it he [the visitor] begins to talk to him, and he finds him full of heaven.
“Oh! Sir,” he says,
“my God is very kind to me.”
Propped up he is with pillows, and full of pain in every member of his body, but he says,
“Blessed be his name, he has not left me. Oh! Sir, I have enjoyed more peace and happiness in this room, out of which I have not gone for years,”
(the case is real that I [Spurgeon] am now describing)
“I have enjoyed more happiness here than I ever did in all my life. My pains are great, sir, but they will not be for long;
I am going home soon.”
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK FEBRUARY 18 GOD WILL ANSWER by C.H. Spurgeon
-He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them- Psalm 145:19
-Cumplira el deseo de los que le temen; Oirá asimismo el clamor de ellos, y los salvará -
Salmos 145:19
His own Spirit has wrought [put] this desire in us, and therefore He will answer it. It is His own life within which prompts the cry, and therefore He will hear it. Those who fear Him are men under the holiest influence, and, therefore, their desire is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever.
Like Daniel, they are men of [holy] desires, and the Lord will cause them to realize their aspirations. Holy desires are grace in the blade [life, just beginning to grow], and the heavenly Husbandman [Gardener] will cultivate them till they come to the full corn in the ear [ear of corn].
God-fearing men desire to be holy, to be useful, to be a blessing to others, and so to honor their Lord. They desire supplies for their need, help [when] under burdens, guidance in perplexity, deliverance in distress; and sometimes this desire is so strong, and their case so pressing, that they cry out in agony, like little children in pain, and then the Lord works most comprehensively, and does all that is needful, according to this Word
-and will save them.-
Yes, if we fear God, we have nothing else to fear; if we cry to the Lord, our salvation is certain. Let the reader lay this text on his tongue, and keep it in his mouth all the day, and it will be to him as
-a wafer [thin crisp cake, cookie or cracker] made with honey.-
Prayer: Thank you Lord that You place a fear of Thyself in us, hear our cry, fulfill our desire and save us. Thank you in Jesus name, Amen.
MORNING February 18
“Show me wherefore thou contendest [why you contend] with me.”— Job 10:2
─ Hazme entender Por qué pleiteas conmigo. — Job 10:2
PERHAPS, O tired soul [one], the Lord is doing this to develop your graces. There are some of your graces which would never be discovered if it were not for your trials. Don’t you know that your faith never looks so grand in summer weather as it does in winter?
Love is too often like a glowworm [lightening bug, firefly], showing but little light except it be in the midst of surrounding darkness. Hope itself is like a star—not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity [tough times]. Afflictions are often the black foils [backgrounds] in which God sets the jewels of His children’s graces to make them shine the better [brighter].
It was but a little while ago that on your knees you were Saying,
“Lord, I fear I have no faith [I’m afraid I don’t have any faith]: let me know that I have faith.”
Was not this really, though perhaps unconsciously, praying for trials? For how can you know that you have faith until your faith is exercised?
Depend upon it, God often sends us trials that our graces may be discovered, and that we may be cer¬tain of their existence. Besides , not merely [only] discovery, but real growth in grace is the result of sanctified [God given] trials. God often takes away our comforts and our privileges in order to make us better Christians. He trains His sol¬diers, not in tents of ease and luxury, but by turning them out and using them for forced marches and hard service. He makes them ford [cross] through streams, and swim through rivers, and climb mountains, and walk many a long mile with heavy knapsacks of sorrow on their backs.
Well, Christian, may not this account [be the reason] for the troubles through which you are passing?
Isn’t the Lord bringing out your graces, and making them grow? Isn’t this the reason why He is contending with you?
Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to His feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there.EVENING February 18
EVENING February 18
“Father, I have sinned. “—Luke 15:18
─Padre, he pecado─ Lucas 15:18
IT is quite certain that those whom Christ has washed in His precious blood need not make a confession of sin, as culprits or criminals, before God the Judge. For Christ has forever taken away all their sins in a legal sense, so that they no longer stand where they can be condemned, but are once [and] for all accepted in the Beloved.
But having become children, and offending as children, ought they not go every day before their heavenly Father and confess their sin, and acknowledge their iniquity in that way?
Nature teaches [in little consciences] that it is the duty of erring children to make a confession to their earthly father, and the grace of God in the heart teaches us that we, as Christians, owe the same duty to our heavenly Father.
We daily offend, and ought not rest without daily pardon. For, supposing that my trespasses against my Father are not at once taken to Him to be washed away by the cleansing power of the Lord Jesus, what will be the consequence?
If I have not sought forgiveness and been washed from these offences against my Father, I may feel at a distance from Him; I may doubt His love for me; I may tremble at Him; I may be afraid to pray to Him. I will become like the prodigal, who, although still a [His] child, was yet far off from his father.
But if, with a child’s sorrow at offending so gracious and loving a Parent, I go to Him and tell Him all, and rest not until I realize that I am forgiven, then I will feel a holy love for my Father, and will go through my Christian career not only as saved, but as one enjoying present peace in God through Jesus Christ my Lord.
There is a wide distinction between confessing sin as a culprit, [who intends the wrong] and confessing sin as a child. The Father’s bosom [place closest to a father’s heart] is the place for penitent confessions.
We have been cleansed once for all, but our feet still need to be washed
from the defilement of our daily walk as children of God.

A SINNER’S PRAYER: … FOR WHOSOEVER:
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … pray like this, won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am lost. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. My nature and behavior has been sinful from birth. Please forgive me.
I realize that doing my best, being as good as possible, or being better than other people can never save me. . I’m sorry for each and every sin I have ever done and look to You to forgive them all.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross for me, as God’s sacrifice for my sin.
Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You to be my Savior and Lord.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I want to follow You from now on.
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 love me still
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus.
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.
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for Your comfort and guidance in all things.
With all my heart, thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, 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… 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.
This KJV Translation is from the Textus Receptus (TR) [Received Text] and is rendered from the 5,321 extant Greek manuscript texts known as The Majority Text MT. The Majority texts are in substantial and overwhelming agreement (99%) with each other and avoid heretical, secular biases, ambiguities or unsupported primary Greek source texts of the variant readings in codices Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus [from the Vatican]. These inferior Greek translations along with those invented by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland conspire to create many weakened variant readings agreed to in most modern Bible Translations.
There is substantial disagreement and missing texts among these Greek codices and translations which do not agree with one another, and are created from incomplete codex fragments and introduce the modern biblical criticism theory that embraces ambiguities, uncertainties and variant readings [multiple interpretations]. These are found in a multitude of new English translations and contain doctrinal compromises that nuance-away or otherwise diminish the highest glory due to God Almighty. The TR is the original primary New Testament Greek source of the Authorized King James Translation and it is the ONLY ENGLISH translation that comes directly and exclusively from the providentially protected, preserved and inspired [God Breathed] Textus Receptus.
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.

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."
___________________________________________________________________
He has always 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.
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 by saying 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 being Born Again.
It bears witness to the truth John the Baptist preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand requiring Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it needed 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.

SACRED LITERATURE:
THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS by John Bunyan
ORIGINAL: The Pilgrim’s Progress Part I Pub. by Logos in 1853 from Bunyan's 1678 Original text.
REVISED VERSION PRINT: by Barry E. Horner: The Pilgrim’s Progrefs [sic] ©1999
The Pilgrim Progress is the world’s most widely published and most famous Allegory, It was commonly found among he scant possessions in the cabins of the early American Pioneers. It was loved and read, second only to the Holy Bible, God’s Word, of guidance, encouragement and comfort. It’s also considered, by some, to be the world’s first English novel and is the most published book of all time. other than the Bible. There were 1,300 editions printed before 1938, 250 years after the author's death. It remains among the world’s most famous literature.
Reference to Pilgrim’s Progress in a printed Spurgeon Sermon:
“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”—Colossians 1:27
Excerpt: "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 (including Excerpt): 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, § 5)

Index of the 533 Scripture References cited in The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan 1687
John Bunyan did not write or set forth any world view of any kind. His masterful allegory, demonstrably displays that God's Word does not support a world view at all but sets forth God’s view on every thing revealed and forever settled in heaven, The Holy Bible.
Bunyan merely, yet ardently trusted in God’s Word; the God-breathed [divinely inspired], Self-authenticating, Providentially-protected immutable, inerrant, infallible, and inextinguishable written Word from GOD Himself. God, the omnipotent, omnipresent, righteous and Holy One, has breathed out His Word and has made His Word flesh in the birth of Jesus Christ. God’s Word is now, has always been and will forever be in perfect accord with Himself and the Spirit of Truth.
God’s infinite Love and Grace to redeem all fallen, hell-bound sinners who will look to Him is revealed by the sacrifice of His only begotten [fathered by God] Son, Jesus Christ.
The story inspiration given to Bunyan was in the form of a dream. Never the less, it imparts wisdom and may encourage soul-searching self-reflection to all pilgrims who seek redemption and eternal life. Many scripture references will be captured and remembered from its reading [listening].
