DEVOTION for June 6th *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892
PLEASE VIEW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR PREFERRED VERSION OF THE BIBLE HAS BEEN AND IS IS PROTECTED AND PRESERVED BY GOD AS INSPIRED [GOD-BREATHED,
WORD FOR WORD], INNERANT, INFALLIBLE, IMMUTABLE AND HOLY
WORD OF GOD?
This video presents historical evidence explaining the explosion of over 100 published English versions of the Bible. This continuing attempt to replace, add or take away from the 1769 King James Version of the Holy Bible do not prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His Holy Scripture from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion and error.
Note: The New King James Version does NOT follow the Greek text of the Textus Receptus, but a Greek Text fabricated by Westcott and Hort and is therefore inferior to the trustworthy 1769 [1611] King James Version, the KJV!
JESUS CHRIST, THE MESSIAH, IS RISEN INDEED! HE IS ALIVE FOREVERMORE!
Resurrection 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:
EASTER [Resurrection Sunday] IS NEVER OVER BECAUSE…
Jesus said:
John 11:25 -26 “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die. Believest thou this?” 2 Timothy 2:8-26
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel.
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth [abides] faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth [pottery] ; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet [the perfect match] for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure [perhaps] will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

PRAYER 21, Part 7of 8
BOLDNESS AT THE THRONE OF GRACE
Lord, look upon the multitudes of rich people in this city that know nothing about the gospel and do not wish to know. Oh! That somehow the poor rich might be rich with the gospel of Jesus Christ. And then, Lord, look upon the multitude of the poor and the working classes that think religion to be a perfectly unnecessary thing for them. Do, by some means we pray Thee, get them to think and bring them to listen [so] that faith may come by hearing, and hearing [may come] by the Word of God.
Above all, O Holy Spirit, descend more mightily. Would, God, Thou wouldest [would] flood the land till there should be streams of righteousness; for is there not [isn’t there] a promise,
“I will pour water upon him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry ground.”
Lord, set Thy people praying; stir up the Church to greater prayerfulness. [We pray that You would fill us with your streams of righteousness through Jesus Christ, Your incomparable gift.]
I ask this in the name, of the Lord Jesus, Amen.

ANECDOTE 310: Weak Through Lack of Prayer.
Standing in the Need of Prayer Bill and Gloria Gaither Choir Sing-along won’t you?
(Today’s PRAISE selection came to mind from this ANECDOTE )
I know Christian people who used to spend an hour a day in prayer. The hour has dwindled into five minutes. They used to be constant at week-night services [Wednesday night prayer meetings]. They very seldom gladden us with their presence now; and they are not as happy as they once were.
I can read this riddle. If a man were to reduce his meals to eating once a week, we could not warrant [guarantee] his health. I would not guarantee that, if a man never ate except on Sundays, he would grow strong. So I do not think that people who neglect the means of grace, and give up their consecration, can expect to be lively, happy, or vigorous.
[Remember Sampson:]
When the razor [scissors] gets to work, and the hair of conscience, resolute devotion to God, begins to fall on the floor, lock after lock, [snip after snip] the strength is departing: and only as that hair begins to grow again, and spiritual consecration returns, can these people [we] expect to be useful, influential, and strong in the Lord.
[Amen.]

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK June 6th HE ALWAYS LISTENS C.H. Spurgeon
-The Lord hath heard my supplication; [request] the Lord will receive my prayer- Psalm 6:9 -Jehova ha oido mi ruego; Ha recibido Jehova mi oracion- Salmos 6:9
The experience here recorded is mine. I can set to my seal that God is true. In very wonderful ways He has answered the prayers of His servant [my prayers] many and many a time. Yes, and He is hearing my present supplication, [prayer] and He is not turning away His ear from me. Blessed be His holy name! What then? Why, for certain the promise which lies sleeping in the Psalmist’s believing confidence is also mine. Let me grasp it by the hand of faith:
-The Lord will receive my prayer-
He will accept it, think of it, and grant it in the way and time which His loving wisdom judges to be best. I bring my poor prayer in my hand to the great King, and He gives me audience, and graciously receives my petition. My enemies will not listen to me, but my Lord will. They ridicule my tearful prayers, but my Lord does not; He receives my prayer into His ear and His heart.
What a reception this is for a poor sinner! We receive Jesus, and then the Lord receives us and our prayers for His Son’s sake. Blessed be that dear name which franks our prayers [authorizes delivery,] so that they freely pass even within the golden gates. Lord, teach me to pray, since thou hearest [hear] my prayers.
Prayer: Thank You Lord, that You hear and answer us. Lord Jesus. I pray this in Your name, Amen.

MORNING June 6th
“Behold, I am vile." —Job 40:4
–He aquí que yo soy vil — Job 40:4
ONE cheering word, poor lost sinner, for you! You think you must not come to God because you are vile [despicably unclean]. Now, there is not a saint living on earth but has been made to feel that he is vile. If Job, and Isaiah, and Paul were all obliged to say
"I am vile,"
oh, poor sinner, will you be ashamed to join in the same confession? If divine grace does not eradicate [take away] all sin from the believer, how do you hope to do it yourself? And if God loves His people while they are yet vile, do you think your vile-ness will prevent His loving you? Believe on Jesus, you outcast of the world's society! Jesus calls you, and others like you:
Not the righteous, not the righteous;
Sinners, Jesus came to call.
Even now say,
"You have died for sinners; I am a sinner, Lord Jesus sprinkle Your blood on me;"
if you will confess your sin you will find pardon. If, now, with all your heart, you will say,
"I am vile, wash me,"
you will be washed now. If the Holy Spirit enables you to cry out from your heart [Click and
Click and Sing prayerfully with Mahalia Jackson:
Just as I Am
Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd'st [ask] me come to Thee.
O Lamb of God, I come! I come.
Get up now, rise up after reading and singing your confession to The Lord. All your sins now pardoned; and although you awoke this morning with the guilt of all your sins on your head, you will rest tonight accepted in the Beloved; though once degraded with the rags of sin, you will be adorned with a robe of righteousness, and be forever forgiven. For
"Now is the accepted time."
If you believe on Him who justifies the ungodly you are saved.
Oh, may the Holy Spirit draw you to a saving faith in Him who receives the vilest in Jesus name, Amen.

EVENING June 6th
"Are they Israelites? so am I.- —2 Corinthians 11:22
¿Son Israelitas? yo también. —2 Corintios 11:22
WE have here A PERSONAL CLAIM, and one that needs proof. The apostle knew that His claim was indisputable, but there are many persons who have no right to the title who yet claim to belong to the Israel of God.
If we are with confidence declaring,
"So am I also an Israelite,"
let us only say it after having searched our heart as in the presence of God. But if we can give proof that we are following Jesus, if we can from the heart say,
"I trust Him wholly, trust Him only, trust Him simply, trust Him now, and trust Him ever [forever] ,"
then the position which the saints of God hold belongs to us—all their enjoyments are our possessions. We may be the very least in Israel,
"less than the least of all saints,"
yet since the mercies of God belong to the saints as saints, and not as advanced saints, or
well-taught saints, we may put in our plea, and say,
"Are they Israelites? So am I; therefore the promises are mine, grace is mine, glory will be mine."
The claim, rightfully made, is one that will yield untold [incredible] comfort. When God's people are rejoicing that they are His, what a happiness if they can say,
"So am I!"
When they speak of being pardoned, and justified, and accepted in the Beloved, how joyful to respond,
“Through the grace of God, so am I.
But this claim not only has its enjoyments and privileges, but also its conditions and duties. We must share with God's people in cloud as well as in sunshine. When we hear them spoken of with contempt and ridicule for being Christians, we must come boldly forward and say,
"So am I.”
When we see them working for Christ, giving their time, their talent, their whole heart to Jesus, we must be able to say,
“So do I.”
0h, let us prove our gratitude by our devotion, and live as those who, having claimed a privilege, are willing to take the responsibility connected with it.
A SINNER’S PRAYER
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, like this. Won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless to save myself. Without you and your blood that was shed for me and Your death on the cross I would spend eternity in Hell’s fire.
Thank you Lord Jesus that You love me and died for me before I was born and that You have always loved me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father but by You.
Thank you, Father that You have caused for me to see myself as I am; a lost sinner. But, because of Your love and goodness, You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in You, Lord Jesus. You took my place on the cross and provided the way for me to be forgiven. Thank You.
Thank You that You prompted a desire in me to believe in You, the only begotten Son of God who died on the cross to be the sacrifice that would atone for my sins.
Thank You, Father for Your love that allowed Jesus to suffer and die in my place. Thank You that You raised Jesus from the dead. He is RISEN and is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus I am free. You raised Jesus from the dead, gave Him a Glorified body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You in heaven. Thank you, Father, for saving me in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Romans 6:11 Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you always give witness to and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 16:8-11With all my heart, thank you Lord for saving me.
Live Your life in me, Lord Jesus, in Your name I pray, Amen.

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

SERMON: The Metropolitan Tabernacle (Charles Spurgeon 1834-1892)
It is clear the resurrection was completely unexpected by the disciples. Here is how it came, first by gentle intimation, then with a caution, then as a proof of Christ's successful atonement, and then as a command to trust in the living Lord.
PRAISE: PLEASE SING Above All by Lenny LeBlanc …Be [be being] filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Ephesians 5:18-19
Mission and Invitation
The aim of this work is to save souls, strengthen and encourage believers in the Word, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ as we serve those in need.

Paul’s gratitude, contentment and blessing recorded in the book of Philippians quotes the principle and practices regarding all contributions to the Publishing Company. We desire fruit that may abound to your account through your generosity: (vis.)
"For even in [the] Thessaloni'ca [jail] 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 4:17. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, Exodus. 29.18 a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. …But I know that my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:17-19. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Salute [Greet] every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you All the saints salute [Greet] you, chiefly they that are of *Caesar’s household. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Philippians 4:23 Amen”
* Not only were new converts won to the truth in Caesar's household, but after their conversion they remained in that household. They did not feel at liberty to abandon their post of duty because their surroundings were no longer congenial. [They were now out of their comfort zone but obliged to steadfastly remain and serve there] The truth had found them there, and there they remained, by their changed life and character testifying to the transforming power of their new found faith in Jesus Christ. Thank you for your prayers.
Let us make daily use of our riches, and ever repair [return] to Him as to our own Lord in covenant, taking from Him the supply of all we need with as much boldness as men take money from their own purse [wallet].

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."
