1 John Chapter 4

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 "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."

1 Timothy 3:16

Let me invite you to accept and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess Him as such before men. 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 by immersion.

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.”

Matthew 3:15

Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him.

“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

And Jesus said to him,

“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43

The act of Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection and the believer’s death to self, burial, and resurrection to walk in newness of life.

It bears witness to the preaching of John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but as John preached it is is to be followed to fulfil all righteousness

This website is not intended, were it possible, to take the place of the personal gathering of believers fellowship or congregational worship in local bodies 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

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.

We pray that many will be born-again and built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. May God sustain, guide and protect this ministry begun with John Michael’s beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) honored here as one to whom honor is due.

Jon Edward loved to say,

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

…then, he would tell them about JESUS and his love. John 3:16

Is dailyspurgeon.com a trustworthy website?

Is it true? Is it of God?

We apply the following Scripture to everything we hear/read to discern whether what we are hearing/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.

We discern every voice [spirit] whether it is from God, and Therefore to be believed only if it confesses [states] that…

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

The Greek manuscripts of Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Alland do not make this confession nor do they follow the Textus Receptus rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts, that are in overwhelming agreement with one another and are known also as as the Majority Text.

Instead, they used their own Greek translations that they invented by hand picking only 55 Greek manuscripts from the 5,321 Majority Texts Greek manuscripts..

Their invented Greek translation presents variant readings different than the Textus Receptus 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 omit the verb “is”, from their invented Greek text. 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, actually represent their own Greek language inventions unsupported by the reliability of the Majority Texts or 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 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 if “has come” is the favored reading.

Actually, “has come” is such a wide-spread belief held to be historically true by all, yet, it does not provide a sound standard to discern whether a spirit [spoken or written words] are from God or the spirit of Antichrist.

Almost anyone [or any spirit] can declare 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 as true or followed. Why? Once again, because almost anyone can and often does confess that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But, his is an insufficient standard. The standard must be whether the confession that Jesus is here alone, 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 efficacious for true spiritual discernment.

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 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 2024 years ago and He’s alive today.

He’s coming 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 should 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 KING JAMES is Best by Steven Houck

Even though [it is said that the] King James Version has its weaknesses, it is an excellent translation and by far the best version available 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.

What Bible is The Best? by David Hocking Reviews the HISTORY and Original Source of the Bible

David’s Summary (8 minutes) The problem is not English, but what Greek text was used to render the English translation.

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,

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.”

THE PEACE OF GOD.

Grant this to each one of us. We would each one pray, “Lord, sanctify me; make me obedient; write Thy law upon my heart and upon my mind.” Make our nature so clean that temptation cannot defile it. “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.” May our course be very clean, our path be very straight; may we keep our garments unspotted from the world; and in thought and desire and imagination, in will and in purpose, may we be holy as God is holy.

[We ask this In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 100: The Christian’s Victory. Victory!

There is something beautiful in that word. The death of Sir John Moore, in the Peninsular [Iberian Peninsula] war, was very touching: he fell [was mortally wounded] in the arms of triumph; [great victory] and sad as was his fate, I doubt not that his eye was lit up with luster by the shout of victory.

So also, I suppose, that [James] Wolfe spoke a truth, when he said, “ I die happy ” having just before heard the shout, “ they run, they run.” I know victory, even in that bad sense for I look not upon earthly victories as of any value must have cheered the warrior.

But, ah ! how cheered the saint, when he knows that victory is his! I shall fight during all my life, but I shall write “vici” [Latin: I conquered] on my shield. I shall be “ more than conqueror through him that loved me.” Each feeble saint shall win the day; each man upon his crutches; each lame one; each one full of infirmity, sorrow, sickness, and weakness, shall gain the victory.

“They shall come with singing into Zion; as well the blind, and lame, and halt, and the woman with child, together.”

So saith [says] the Scripture. Not one shall be left out ; but he shall “bring forth judgment unto victory.”

Victory! victory! victory! This is the lot of each Christian: he shall triumph through his dear Redeemer’s [Savior’s] name.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK November 9th NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE C.H. Spurgeon

-Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith [says] the Lord God- Ezekiel 34:30

-Y sabran que yo su Dios Jehova soy con ellos, y ellos son mi pueblo, la casa de Israel, dice el Senor Jehova- Ezequiel 34:30

To be the Lords own people is a choice blessing, but to know that we are such, is a comfortable

[comforting] blessing. It is one thing to hope that God is with us, and another thing to know that He is so.

Faith saves us, but assurance satisfies us. We take God to be our God when we believe in Him; but we get the joy of Him when we know that He is ours, and that we are His.

No believer should be content with hoping and trusting, but should ask the Lord to lead him on to full assurance, so that matters of hope may become matters of certainty. It is when we enjoy covenant [Divinely promised] blessings, and see our Lord Jesus raised up for us as a plant of renown [a huge tree] , that we come to a clear knowledge of the favor of God toward us. Not by law, but by grace, do we learn that we are the Lord’s people. Let us always turn our eyes in the direction of free grace.

Assurance of faith can never come by the works of the law. It is an evangelical virtue, and can only reach us in a gospel way [through the good news of Jesus Christ]. Let us not look within [for assurance]. Let us look to the Lord alone. As we see Jesus, we shall see our salvation. Lord, send us such a flood-tide of thy love that we shall be washed beyond the mire [filth] of doubt and fear.

Prayer: Thank You Lord that You make me to KNOW that You are with me and give me full assurance that we [those who trust in You] are Your people. Thank You that by looking to you and by trusting in You we are saved. Please help me to trust and obey You in every circumstance. I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen.

Text that was meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] of the Old Testament Hebrew. The inferior and erroneous Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices notwithstanding; are often in disagreement with one another.

Never-the-less, these compromised codices are set forth as modern textual criticism to fuel the explosion of the plethora of new translations and new editions. Modern textual criticism is based on the false assumption that older manuscripts are, de facto, better. Actually, the unsettled debates, reflect doctrinal ambiguities or are used to bolster unsupported secular or denominational biases that allow blasphemous translations to spring up from faulty Greek texts. From these texts they would, were it possible, diminish God’s Sovereignty, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, Inerrancy and Infallibility and rob Glory from the infinite and everlasting “I AM” that is deserving of ALL GLORY.

MORNING November 9

"So, walk ye in Him. "— Colossians 2:6

—Por tanto, de la manera que habéis recibido al Señor Jesucristo, andad en él¾ Colosenses 2:6

IF we have received Christ Himself in our inmost hearts, our new life will manifest [reveal] its intimate acquaintance with Him by a walk of faith in Him. Walking implies action. Our religion is not to be confined to our closet; we must carry out what we believe in practical effect. If a man walks in Christ, then he so acts as Christ would act; Christ in him is his hope, his love, his joy, his life; he is the reflex [reflection] of the image of Jesus. Men say of that man, "He is like his Master; he lives like Jesus Christ." Walking signifies progress. "So walk ye in Him." Proceed from grace to grace, run forward until you reach the uttermost degree of knowledge that a man can attain concerning our Beloved. Walking implies continuance. There must be a perpetual abiding in Christ. How many Christians think that in the morning and evening they ought to come into the company of Jesus and may then give their hearts to the world all the day: but this is poor living; we should always be with Him, treading in His steps and doing His will.

Walking also implies habit. When we speak of a man's walk and conversation we mean his habits, the constant tenor of his life. Now, if we sometimes enjoy Christ and then forget Him; sometimes call Him ours and at other times lose our hold, that is not a habit; we do not walk in Him. We must keep to Him, cling to Him, never let Him go, but live and have our being in Him. "As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him." Persevere in the same way in which you have begun, and, as Christ Jesus was the trust of your faith, the source of your life, the principle of your action, and the joy of your spirit at first, so let Him be the same till life's end when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death and enter into the joy and the rest which remain for the people of God. 0 Holy Spirit, enable us to obey this heavenly precept [teaching].

________________________________________

EVENING November 9th

"His place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. "— Isaiah 33:16

—Fortalezas de rocas serán su lugar de acogimiento; se le dará su pan, y sus aguas serán ciertas. Isaías 33:16

Do you doubt, 0 Christian, do you doubt as to whether God will fulfill His promise? Shall the munitions [forts] of rock be carried [moved] by storm? Shall the storehouses of heaven fail? Do you think that your heavenly Father, although He knows that you have need of food and raiment [clothing] , will yet forget you [will forget about you] ?

When not a sparrow falls to the ground without your Father and the very hairs of your head are all numbered, will you mistrust and doubt Him? Perhaps your affliction will continue until you dare to trust your God, and then it shall end. There are many who have been tried and vexed till at last they have been driven in sheer desperation to exercise faith in God, and the moment of their faith has been the instant of their deliverance; they have seen whether God would keep His promise or not.

Oh, I pray you, doubt Him no longer! Please not [Don’t go along with] Satan, and vex not yourself by indulging any more those hard thoughts of God.

Think it not a light matter to doubt Jehovah. Remember, it is a sin; and not a little sin either, but criminal in the highest degree. The angels never doubt Him, nor the devils either: we alone, out of all the beings that God has fashioned, dishonor Him by unbelief, and tarnish His honor by mistrust.

Shame on us for this! Our God does not deserve to be so basely suspected; in our past life [days past] we have proved Him to 'be true and faithful to His word, and with as many instances of His love and of His kindness as we have received and are daily receiving at His hands, it is base and inexcusable that we suffer a doubt to sojourn [remain, even temporarily] within our heart.

May we henceforth wage constant war against doubts of our God—enemies to our peace and to His honor; and with an unstaggering [unwavering] faith believe that what He has promised He will also perform.

"Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief."

Thank You LORD for dailyspurgeon.com a website that proclaims Jesus, the Christ [Messiah and Anointed King] to all the world .

This website ministry grew from a beginning of sending e-mails of promises from Charles Spurgeon’s Faith’s Checkbook a book of daily promises from Scripture to John Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). When Jon shared them with others, they asked to be added to this mailing list. This mailing list grew to over 400 and continues to be used in the distribution of the website content Our prayer is that it will continue to encourage followers of Jesus Christ in vigorous personal devotions of Love, obedience and oneness with Jesus Christ through the study of and obedience to GOD’S WORD empowered by the Holy Ghost.

Devotional contents by Charles Spurgeon are brought together daily at dailyspurgeon.com

These devotional contents were written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon over 200 years ago yet continue to have a timely relevance bringing inspiration, and encouragement today.

We pray that many will be born-again and built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. May God sustain, guide and protect this ministry begun with John Michael’s beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) honored here as one to whom honor is due.

Jon Edward loved to say,

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

…then, he would tell them about JESUS and his love. John 3:16

SACRED LITERATURE:

ORIGINAL: The Pilgrim’s Progress Pub. by Logos,1853 from 1678 Original by John Bunyan

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

in Pilgrim’s Progress. (Tthe World’s most widely circulated Allegory by John Bunyan, also credited, by some, as being the world’s first English novel.

IT’S FREE. No subscription required. You may choose to read at your own pace, or you may want to view DailySpugeon.com for daily encounters with Pilgrim.)

"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon's comment] 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 [melody] , for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart 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.

ADULT AUDIO Episodes and CHILDREN’S VIDEO Story Parts:

You may choose to read or listen to Pilgrim’s Progress as a bed time story.

It’s the world’s most famous allegory and is the all-time, world-wide best seller second only to the Bible. Some believe it to be the world’s first novel written in English.

It will bless, encourage and instruct pilgrims (readers and seekers) of all ages for a life-time.

*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” in English)
