How did this great man of God fly under the radar for so long? "And we know that all things work together for good, to those who love God and are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28. In other words, a lot of God's people had the time to find golden nuggets of God's word, even on RU-vid.
Because people tend to worship human beings, and GOD kept him under the radar to protect him so that only GOD gets the glory, not man., I know this because He is keeping me under the radar until after I'm gone. I'm so far under that I don't really exist, quite frankly. I breathe, that's about all.
For this magnificent teaching I can only THANK you wholeheartedly! The depth of God’s wisdom and truth, so beautifully explained in detail to the simple, leaves me trembling, speechless and „longing for more“!!!!
Amen, great teaching! Many, quote unquote "Christians", most especially political ones, have no understanding what the word of God is teaching us when we're told that "Satan is the is the god/king of this world". They'll be quick to make reference to the wearing of the "armor of God", but don't have clue who, and what, and how the enemy and his kingdom operates! To tell them, most make out like your crazy and fanatical. Like Mr Pawson said, "They want to herald God's sovereignty, but deny being subject to Him", or only on their terms. We know what Jesus said about these.." why do you call me Lord Lord and do not the things I say?", and, " Many, in that day, will say to me "Lord, Lord have we not done.." and I will say to them, "I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who work iniquity."
Colossians Chapter 4 1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. 2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. 7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: 8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; 9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here. 10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) 11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis. 14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. 15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. 16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. 17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. 18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen. (Written from Rome to Colossians by Tychicus and Onesimus.)
Colossians Chapter 2 1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21(Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah died for his people! God resurrected the Messiah! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Matt 24 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
The more I read the comments posted the more confusion I feel. Surely this isn't what God wants. Is the kingdom of God within or without?. The bible says angels come down from heaven but where is that? We're just going round and round. I'm going to pray for understandings all I feel is confusion.
Terry you should have ignored the comments - the Kingdom of G-D is both within and without. If you accept Yeshua/Jesus as your Saviour - if you truely give your life to HIM your have entered the Kingdom. Does G-D rule and reign in your life? Are you living as a subject of the Kingdom? In this world but not of it? Do you obey the commandents of Yeshua? Who is first in your existance? Kingdom living is for now...
Colossians Chapter 3 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Bless 1234 that's right, but I will take " subject of God's Kingdom" anytime than slave of the kingdom of this world. But how amazing God is that He not only made us subjects but co heirs with Christ!
One aspect I don't understand about the Bible. Why did God create sin then commit the biggest sin ever and then send his son to save Man from his sins? I'm also curious why God created such an expansive Universe and only create life on one little planet. It would also be interesting to know why Jesus was sent down to Earth 2k years ago to found Christianity then the angel Gabriel sent six centuries later to recite the verses of the Koran to Muhammad who then founded Islam thus with the result of two major religions in mutual conflict.
You ask many questions but firstly wilfully The Bible is clear that the consequence of sin is death - the judgement and penalty for doing wrong. God sent his Son to pay the penalty of sin on behalf of anyone who believes and is faithful to Him . - doing wrong demands justice - someone has to pay the price. Those who believe in Islam believe God sent Gabriel to recite the verses of the Koran to Muhammad ... did GOD send Gabriel to Mohammad?....... Did God create two major religions in mutual conflict?
@@DavidPawsonMinistry God created existence so all is as he wanted it. It seems the human race has so badly misunderstood what God intended. Did God really create Man just to live to a certain set of rules?
