DAILY SPURGEON  for  June 18th   *A.D. 2024 written and calendared by Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”, a common mistake.  It is an abbreviation from the Latin  words Anno Domini;  a shortened term, actually meaning:   “Year of our Lord”.  

BCE/CE or  BC/AD   What’s the difference? Open this link…   Won’t you?

 He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago, is alive today, and is coming soon

for His  bride; the Church of the born-again redeemed.

FEATURED BIOGRAPHICAL VIDEOS  : 

 

C.H. Spurgeon The Peoples Preacher  ( 70 min.)  Historically accurate Feature Film of the one called The Prince of Preachers  
 

2,018,939 views May 14, 2020       ―a video into the life and ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, widely known first as the “people’s preacher” who was later known as “The Prince of Preachers”.

 

It follows his trials and triumphs with historical accuracy pointing always to Jesus Christ and proclaiming, “Behold the Lamb of God which taketh [takes] away the sin of the world.”

 

Here is an intimate account of one of the greatest preachers in the history of the church. We follow him from his youth where, as a young preacher he is called Charlie, boy preacher of the Finns. to become the minister to London’s largest Baptist congregation and soon captures the love and respect of Great Britan to become one of its most influential figures.

 

Made by the award-winning Christian Television Association and filmed on location in England, Scotland, France and Germany, this film vividly captures the spirit and message of a man whose eventful life is highly relevant to the twenty-first century.

Thank You  LORD for dailyspurgeon.com  that proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ [The Messiah], and  the great commission for believers to go into  all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

 

This ministry was begun with the sending of  e-mails of  Spurgeon’s  Faith’s Checkbook,  to Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). A mailing list was started and grew rapidly with the addition of many who learned of this publication and wanted it sent to them directly. This mailing list  continues to be used to distribute dailyspurgeon.com   and we trust that it will continue to encourage whole-hearted devotional vigor of Love, and oneness with Jesus Christ through the study and obedience of GOD’S WORD.

 

Devotional Content published here has been  written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon. We pray that many will be born-again  and the born-again will be built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ, by God’s grace and with His help. May God be pleased to sustain this ministry begun with my beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021)  honored here as one to whom honor is due.

 

He would  often  say,   to anyone who would listen:

 

“I’m a blood-bought, born-again child of God.”

 

Amen.

Is dailyspurgeon.com   trustworthy?

Is it true?     Is it of God? 

We apply this Scripture to discern whether what we hear is of God and therefore  true or not.

1 John 4:1-3  Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [voice] you hear but be testing the spirits [voices] whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit [voice]  of God: Every spirit [voice] 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 [voice] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 

Therefore, we should [must] test every voice [spirit] whether it is from God, bonified and trustworthy to be believed only if it  confesses [states]  that… 

“Jesus Christ is here, in the flesh having come from God .”  

Westcott & Hort and  Nestle & Alland did not use the Textus Receptus, that was rendered from the 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts,  known as  the Majority Text.

Instead,they used their own Greek  translations that they created using only  55 Greek manuscripts selected out of  the 5,321 Majority Texts.

Their Greek translation  is faulty.  Translations other than King James overlook the original Greek verb “ictin” [To be] [is] (third person singular) that is translated in virtually all Majority Texts MT and  subsequently in the Textus Receptus [Received Text] therefore they   fail to correctly translate  the Greek verb  as, “Is come” [Is here].  (When it’s ranslated aright from the Received Text (TR)  in the King James Version only) 

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 majorityagreement with one another.   The TR  [Textus Receptus] is rendered from this overwhelming body of agreement from Majority Text of primary manuscript sources.

Both Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland have omitted the verb “is”, from the Greek text. This error may be described as res ipsa loquitur meaning the thing speaks for itself.

 Therefore, the alternate Greek  fabrications generated by these two sources are not actually translations at all but their own  creations.

How do we know? 

Because non-believers and false prophets can indeed, and often do, affirm that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. Practically anyone can  make this confession as the  birth of Jesus Christ is considered by virtually all respected historians to be the most well documented fact in history. That He has come is generally acknowledged by nonbelievers and believers alike.   However, here’s the point. There is a huge difference between “Has come” and “Is Here”. “Has come” falls 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 not surprising nor is it, per se, a false statement. Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. However, this  fails to present a  Rubric necessary 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, proffered and inferred in the contextfor scriptural discernment. The failure here  to establish a logical and rhetorically sound rubric to judge  the question of whether spirits [words] are from God or from false prophets and the spirit of antichrist is absent.

Namely, it does not provide a sound hypothesis to discern whether a spirit [spoken or written words]  are from God or the spirit of Antichrist.

Virtually anyone [or any spirit] may avow that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But as you can see, this does not resolve the issue of whether something should or should not be believed or followed. Why?  Once again,  because virtually anyone and everyone can and often do confess that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. This leaves absent a valid and efficacious hypothesis to discern the truth.

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  is a failed attempt to represent itself as efficacious for true spiritual discernment as outlined in 1 John Chapter 4: 1-3.

Further, as 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  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 members of His body, flesh and bone, [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 2024 years ago and  He lives today.

He’s coming again,  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 should acknowledge and readily confess that…

 

“Jesus Christ is here, from God,  in the flesh,” because  We are the Body of Christ; The Church, in the flesh!  Amen.

As Jon remembered veterans, we remember him: Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would, on occasion, just bust-out singing the following songs; sometimes, on the way to church sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always kept in the truck’s CD player or, 

even better, a song the Lord would spontaneously put in his joyful and loving heart.

 

I LOVE You Lord by Jared Reynolds

…Jon always said “Later”; as in [see’ya later] instead of “good bye”. It was his unique way to bid farewell … He would never say “good-bye”. Now,  remembering the sound of his voice saying “Later”, it rings true with a  new and deeper meaning and it brings a joyfulness and comfort to the hearts of those he loved so well; those who love him still, and always will.

… we are reminded of the promise of the Hymn:

Sudden and Unexpected Conversions   Luke 23:42  with  Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor

As Christ hung on the cross in agony of body and soul, making atonement for all who would be saved, a criminal being executed alongside Him began to see Him in a new light, and yielded his life to Him. Here is that 'model' conversion, and what was involved [Remember me”]Thy Hand Was Heavy Upon Me   Psalm 32:3-4   by Charles H. Spurgeon

(Terrible Convictions and Gentle Drawings) - Preached on May 6. 1860 by C.H. Spurgeon at Exeter Hall. Recorded by Charles Koelsch, Christian Sermons and Audio

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,” published in 1930, in which Dr. Lee stated the following regarding the HOLY BIBLE: (KJV)
“All [Prophets and Apostles] who wrote are immortalized by their writing of this great Book, 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. R.G. Lee preached a much requested sermon called Payday Someday over 1,000 times. 

Why was it so powerful? Why was it requested and preached so many times?

He Careth For You

1 Peter 5.7


In a decisive prayer, burdens are to be passed entirely to the Lord. Here we consider what is and what is not to be passed, and the harm and sin of keeping anxiety. Here is how the help comes, and the tremendous promise of God's care.

A Description of Conversion For All Time

Matthew 14.33

Over nearly three years the disciples learned from Christ and came to love him, need him, and recognise him as divine. But for most, personal conversion came late in this period. Peter's vital response is a model and challenge to seekers in every age.

The Deep Things of Christ’s Priesthood

Hebrews 5.1

'For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.'

SACRED LITERATURE:

THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS   by  John Bunyan  is the most famous Allegory, world-wide and the Most widely Published Book of all time and was printed in over 200 Languages. It has NEVER,  since 1698, been  out-of-print.

 

Only The King James Bible was more widely published than The Pilgrim’s Progress.

 

ONLINE PRINT LIBRARY: (No Enrollment Fee or Registration required)

 

BUNYAN’S  ORIGINAL of 1678: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Published in 1853  by Logos  

REVISED VERSION:              The Pilgrim’s Progrefs  [sic] 1999 by Barry E. Horner 

OLD ENGLISH  PRINT: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Part II   AKA  Christiana 
(Christian’s wife, Christiana and children; their dangerous journey, and safe arrival at the desired country.)

 

 Pilgrim Progress is the world’s most famous Allegory, It and the Bible were commonly the only books to be found in the cabin of early American Settlers and were  loved and  read more than any book, second only to the Holy Bible.  It’s  also considered, by some, as being the world’s first English novel. It’s likely the most published book other than the Bible of all time. There were 1,300 editions printed before 1938,  250 years after the Bunyan’s death. Hence, the world’s most famous Allegory.

 

 Comment on Pilgrim’s Progress by Charles H. Spurgeon from the Spurgeon Sermon 
“Christ in You”.

 

Spurgeon:  Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me of Mr. Bunyan’s picture 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 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 [happy 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, The Messiah;  our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.

 

 Spurgeon Sermon: Christ in You, Preached May 13, 1883 Scripture: Colossians 1:27  From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 29   (cit. II. THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY, WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, § 5)

 

You may choose to read, listen or share Pilgrim’s Progress with your little ones as a bed time story.   It will bless, strengthen, encourage and instruct pilgrims of all ages and will create precious and enduring memories in little ears. 

 

Spurgeon read it for the first time as a precocious five year old reader and would returned to read it over 100 times during the course of his remarkable ministry as a Baptist pastor who is  known as The Prince of Preachers .

PRAYER 22, Part 11
THE PRESENCE OF GOD
Part  11 of  11

11 God bless our country! God save our Sovereign [Republic and U.S. President]! Grant guidance at this time to all with regard to the political affairs of this nation. Grant Thy blessing to all ranks and conditions of men, and let every nation call Thee “blessed” Let all tongues speak the name of  Jesus and all men own Him as Lord and King. We ask it in His name. Amen. [I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.] (Complete Prayer is attached in e-mail: PRAYER 22.doc)

 

ANECDOTE 316:   Prayer About Common Mercies. [Repeated]

 

SFX: A Raven’s Cry (click for audio of Raven calls)

Though your prayer should only be about worldly things, and be nothing more than a merely natural prayer, yet pray it ; for “He heareth [hears] the young ravens when they cry,”  and I am sure they do not pray spiritual prayers.  All that ravens can ask for will be worms and flies, and yet he hears them, and feeds them; and you, a man, though you may but pray at this time for a very commonplace mercy, one of the slighter [lesser] blessings, yet you may pray with confidence if you have any faith in the gracious Lord.
 

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK C.H. Spurgeon 1834 - 1892

GOD HIMSELF SHALL WORK

-Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself-  Isaiah 33:10

-Ahora me levantare, dice Jehova; ahora sere ensalzado, ahora sere engrandecido-  Isaias 33:10 

When the spoilers [enemy] had made the land as waste [destroyed it] as if devoured by locusts [swarms of flying insects], and the warriors who had defended the country sat down and wept like women, then the Lord came to the rescue. When travelers ceased from the roads to Zion, and Bashan and Carmel were as vineyards from which the fruit has failed [suffering crop failure], then the Lord arose. God is exalted in the midst of an afflicted people, for they seek His face and trust Him. He is still more exalted when, in answer to their cries, He lifts up Himself to deliver them and overthrow their enemies. 

 

Is it a day of sorrow with us?  Let us expect to see the Lord glorified in our deliverance. Are we drawn out in fervent [whole hearted] prayer? Do we cry day and night unto Him?

 

Then the set time for His grace is near. God will lift up Himself at the right season.  He will arise when it will be most [the best time] for the display of His glory.  We wish for His glory more than we long for our own deliverance. Let the Lord be exalted, and our chief desire is obtained.

 

Lord, help us in such a way that we may see that thou thyself art [You, Yourself are] working. May we magnify thee [You] in our inmost souls. Make all around us to see how good and great a God thou art [You are].

 

Prayer: Thank You Lord Jesus, that You are glorified in our deliverance. Help us to be drawn by You into whole hearted prayer.  In our pain help us to cry day and night unto You. Because you hear the young Raven’s cry, I know You will also hear my prayer.   By this I know that the time for Your grace is near. You will lift up Yourself on our behalf at the exact, right time.  You will arise when it will be the best time for the display of Your glory. I trust You, Lord and upon Your Word. Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You remember me,  Amen.

MORNING  June 18

 

"Thy Redeemer." —Isaiah 54:5

                                                              –Tu redentor–—Isaías 54:5 

     JESUS, the Redeemer, [the Deliverer who made the sacrifice and paid the ransom for sinners] is  altogether ours and ours forever. All the offices [titles] of [Jesus] Christ are held on our behalf.  He is king for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read a new title of the Redeemer,  let us appropriate Him as ours under that name as much as under any other. The shepherd's staff, the father's rod, the captain's sword, the priest's miter, the prince's scepter, the prophet's mantle: all are ours. Jesus has no dignity which he will not employ for our exaltation [good and benefit], and no prerogative which he will not exercise for our *defense. His fullness of Godhead is our unfailing, inexhaustible treasure house.

 

His manhood, which he took on him for us, is also ours in all its perfection. To us our gracious Lord communicates the spotless virtue of a stainless character; to us he gives the meritorious efficacy of a devoted life; on us he bestows the reward procured by obedient submission and incessant [continual] service. He makes the unsullied [unspoiled] garment of his life our covering beauty; the glittering  virtues of his character our ornaments and jewels; and the super-human meekness of his death our boast and glory. He bequeaths [gives] us his manger, from which to learn how God came down to man; and his Cross to teach us how man may go up to God. All his thoughts, emotions, actions, utterances, miracles, and intercessions, were for  us. He trod the road of sorrow on our behalf, and hath made over [handed over] to us as his heavenly legacy the full results of all the labors of his life. He is now as much ours as before; and he blushes not to acknowledge himself  "our Lord Jesus Christ,"  though he is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Christ everywhere and every way is our Christ, forever and most richly to enjoy.
O my soul, by the power of the Holy Spirit call him this morning  "thy Redeemer."

 EVENING   June 18

 

"I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse." —Song of Solomon 5:1
—YO  vine á mi huerto, oh hermana, esposa mía—Cantares 5:1 
 

 

       THE heart of the believer is Christ's garden. He bought it with His precious blood, and He enters it and claims it as His own. A garden implies separation.  It is not the open common [park]; it is not a wilderness; it is walled around, or hedged in.

 

Would that we could see the wall of separation between the church and the world made broader and stronger. It makes one sad to hear Christians saying,  "Well, there is no harm in this; there is no harm in that," thus getting as near to the world as possible. Grace is at a low ebb [poor condition] in the soul [person] that can even raise the question of how far it may go in worldly conformity. A garden is a place of beauty, it far surpasses the wild uncultivated lands.

 

The genuine Christian must seek to be more excellent in his life than the best moralist,

because Christ's garden ought to produce the best flowers in all the world. Even the best is poor compared with what Christ's deserves: let us not put Him off [attempt to appease Him] with withering and dwarf plants. The rarest, richest, choicest lilies and roses ought to bloom in the place that Jesus calls His own. The garden is a place of growth. The saints are not to remain undeveloped, always mere buds and blossoms. We should grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Growth should be rapid where Jesus is the Husbandman [Gardener], and the Holy Spirit [is] the dew from above. A garden is a place of retirement. So the Lord Jesus Christ would have us reserve our souls as a place in which He can manifest [reveal] Himself, as He does not unto the world. 0 that Christians were more retiring [withdrawn], that they kept their hearts more closely shut up [guarded] for Christ! We often worry and trouble ourselves, like Martha, with much serving so that we have not the room for Christ that Mary had, and do not sit at His feet as we should. 
The Lord grant the sweet showers of His grace to water His garden this day [today].


MISSION PURPOSE  &  A SINNER’S PRAYER:

     
       Our aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ in everything. We rely wholly upon the Holy Spirit to impart God’s  divine revelation to us from His Word, the Holy Bible.  With God’s help, we will follow Jesus.  We expect  that lost souls will be saved, believers, comforted, strengthened and encouraged. To  God be all the glory. 

        The Bible is God’s divinely inspired [God breathed] revealed, infinite, eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable Word to all mankind.  This divine, supernatural Word brings all revealed truth to the world. We purpose, therefore, to follow  God’s Holy Word, Personal guidance and guidance to the local church comes by His Word. 

 

Hence, we resolve, God helping us, to read, study, meditate-on, trust-in  and obey God’s revealed and divinely preserved Word,  holding it to be the supreme authority and the only divinely established Stare Decisis [Latin: to stand by that which is decided] in all things. 


       Therefore, the purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to publish and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature, ministering God’s love to all, especially those in the household of faith.  The Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired, (God breathed) inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, divinely protected and preserved Word of love and salvation to the entire world.  It is also the essential foundation of this ministry.
 

History: The  inspired preaching, teaching and writing  of Charles Haddon Spurgeon is all empowered by God’s revealed Word the Bible.  His written publications continue to benefit readers through authentic Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching. This ministry continues to flourish from  (Spurgeon’s)  Metropolitan Tabernacle,  a church fellowship that was begun in 1650. The building was constructed by members of the congregation in 1861.

 

        We present Spurgeon's printed  materials for the edification of the church body as well as for the benefit, blessing and gospel challenge to all readers. Our desire is that the written Word of God will become the Living  Word in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ to each and every reader.

To this end,  DailySpurgeon.com is offered to encourage and provide opportunity to hear Gospel preaching, and to engage in daily devotional meditation, Bible study and prayer. Careful adherence to Spurgeon’s calendar and  original, unabridged text is given herein.

            These publications were written by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.
No servant of God has left a greater legacy of presenting the Gospel to the world in the English language. (Now translated into many other languages)  Spurgeon is widely read with great benefit. He is the beloved pastor and founder of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England, still thriving TODAY.  You’re invited to Live-stream worship services from London with Dr. Peter Masters, pastor from 1960 to the present.
Prayer: Dear Lord, empower your ministry to win many souls, and serve those in need, especially those in the household of faith, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.     

Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company does not solicit praise of  Charles H. Spurgeon or his writing or preaching.  He didn’t need or want it then and wouldn’t desire it now.  Our aim is to lift up and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach HIM only and him crucified.

Precaution: These Messages and prayers will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus nor gathering for corporate worship. Neither do they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word. 

The Authorized King James version (AKJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the preferred English Bible because it is rendered [translated into English] accurately and faithfully from the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] and the Hebrew Masoretic Text  that bring the greatest glory to God and thereby avoids doctrinal error, inaccuracies in translation, editorial changes or ambiguous readings found in other translations. It is distinguished further by the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. No other [person or publisher] may print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.

Printed Prayer: Printed prayers must not be read or offered as a substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. They are offered, rather, to warm the hearts of those who will presently seek a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart  fellowship and prayer with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Authentic revelations from God during  prayer are always consistent with His revealed Word, the Bible.   

Preaching  Preparation:  When preparing to preach from a specific, scriptural text, please enter the text reference if you would like us to send you a Spurgeon Sermon from the same text.

My Prayer: Dear Father,  is that You would touch, lift up, encourage and teach all who faithfully minister your Word.  Bless all who minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Your blessing and holy anointing fall fresh upon each dear reader and abide with each one who rightly divides and faithfully proclaims Your Word  [The Bible]. Please save many souls; and may all be glory be yours alone. I pray this in the name of our Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

   A SINNER’S PRAYER    … 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 send for my guidance, comfort  and 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 you and the angels in heaven who are celebrating  by  writing to: The John Mark Publishing Company,  PO BOX 21, San Juan Capistrano, CA  92693, U.S.A.  or  e-mail: dailyspurgeon@aol.com

       
Ministry Support:  God provides for His work. Amen.

The Apostle Paul’s prayer of blessing for the Philippian believers who supported him when he was in the Thessalonian jail is recorded in the Bible, Philippians 4:16. We are grateful to God for His provision, not because we desire a gift but we desire fruit that may abound to your account.

 

Look at Paul’s words:


       … “I desire fruit that may abound to your account.”    

 

            "For even in Thessalonica [where I was jailed] ye sent once and again unto my necessity.  Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.  Philippians 4:16.

      18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a sweet fragrance, a  sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.      20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Philippians 4:18-20.

          Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of *Caesar’s household [the local fellowship]. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” Philippians 4:21-22

 

    * Not only were new converts won to the truth in Caesar's household, but after their conversion they  remained to serve the Lord in that household.
They did not feel at liberty to abandon their post of duty merely because their surroundings were no longer comfortable. They  remained there, out of their comfort zone, testifying to the transforming power of faith in Jesus Christ.  The truth had found them there, and there they would serve as new, born-from-above believers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 

We pray that fruit will indeed abound to your account according to God’s word, in Jesus name,   Amen.

…  and pray together with us that souls would therefore be saved and strengthened.  

Pray also that all believers will faithfully and rightly divide [proclaim, preach and share] God’s inerrant, everlasting and immutable Word, the Bible, divinely inspired [God breathed] by God the Holy Spirit and preserved forever by God almighty, for the entire human race.

 

Pray too, that we freely share the good news that Jesus suffered and died on the cross to provide  eternal salvation for all that would believe in Him. And Pray that all redeemed, blood-bought children of God faithfully minister the gospel [good news] to everyone everywhere in the name of Jesus the Christ [Anointed Messiah], Amen.
