Parables RAK Summary: Jesus spoke in parables so people could not understand him and thereby be converted to God; he did not speak in parables so that people could more easily understand him as is commonly said today. Parable Definition: a simple story told to illustrate a moral truth. Matthew 13:10-17 And the disciples came up and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” And he answered and said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For to him who has shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who does not have, even that which he has shall be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, neither do they understand. In them is being fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who says, “Hearing you will hear, but not understand; and seeing you will see, but not perceive. For the heart of this people has been hardened, and with their ears they have been hard of hearing, and their eyes have been closed; lest at any time they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their mind, and be converted, and I heal them.” (Isaiah 6:9,10) Read Matthew 25:14-30 Talent Definition: 1. An ancient unit of weight and value 2. The natural endowments (something freely or naturally furnished) of a person 3. A special often creative or artistic aptitude 4. Mental power 5. Ability 6. A person with talent Read some more of Jesus’ parables at Matthew 13:1-51  @GospelofRAK  #minister #biblical #bibleverse #holyspirit #jesus #church #religion #visualbible #christianity #christiansermon #christian #parable #parables #talent #talents #talentspotlight

RAK Summary: Scientific facts revealed before they were scientifically verified, as well as fulfilled prophecies, give indisputable proof that the Bible is true, i.e., is the word of God. The first indisputable proof that the Bible is the word of God, i.e., is true is that it reveals facts that man could not prove until hundreds of years after the Bible was written. #minister #biblical #jesus #bibleverse #holyspirit #church #God #christian #christianity #christiansermon #sermon #RAK

Exodus Chapter 20: (the Ten Commandments) 2nd Command: 20:4 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. 20:5. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: 20:6. And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments. Why are our churches against God and His commandments? We are being mislead! Judith Chapter 11 :1 Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in your heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. :2 And if your people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them. :3 But now tell me, for what cause hast you left them, and why it hath pleased you to come to us? :4 And Judith said to him: Receive the words of your handmaid, for if you will follow the words of your handmaid, the Lord will do with you a perfect thing. :5 For as Nabuchondonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in you for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through you, but also the beasts of the field obey him. :6 For the industry of your mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that you only are excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and your discipline is cried up in all provinces. :7 It is known also what Achior said, nor are we ignorant of what you hast commanded to be done for him. @GospelofRAK #biblical #minister #jesus #bibleverse #holyspirit #god #church #christianity #christian #cross #catholic #gravenimage #falsechurch #rak #gospel #gospelofrak #exodus20 #tencommandments #10commandments

RAK Summary: Anything a man takes pride in because of something he can do, or anything that he exalts as being something great, is an abomination or hateful in the sight of God. One of the great areas of pride is competitive games where individuals and/or teams are held up as idols for being "Number 1 or the Best". God says he breaks the bones of the unjust or sinners and that we should "Wash are hands in their blood", i.e., see how they were breaking God's commandments and make sure we don't do the same.  @GospelofRAK  #biblical #minister #jesus #holyspirit #bibleverse #God #church #sermon #pride #pastor #apostle #manofGod #thebible #christian #christianity #christiansermon #christianministry

Gospel of RAK Summary: God says the tongue, i.e. spoken words, are the world of iniquity, lying, and deceit. The things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart: evil thoughts, murderers, adulteries, immorality, thefts, false witness, and blasphemy, and it is they that defile a man. He further says that we will be justified or condemned by our words. Be careful of what you say, for wrongful words have led to the downfall of many. If you don’t have anything good to say about a person, don’t say anything at all, for what you say will definitely get back to them. #christianity #christian #holyspirit #church #mninister #biblical #jesus #bibleverse #sermon #christiansermon #christianservice #tongueisafire #fire #tongue #lying

Paul's Epistle to the Colossians Chapter 3 FULL - 3:1. Therefore if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. 3:2. Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth. 3:3. For you are dead: and your life is hid with Christ in God. 3:4. When Christ shall appear, who is your life, then you also shall appear with him in glory. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence and covetousness, which is the service of idols. 3:6. For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief. 3:7. In which you also walked some time, when you lived in them. 3:8. But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth. 3:9. Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with his deeds, 3:10. And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him. 3:11. Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor 3:21. Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged. 3:22. Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh: not serving to the eye, as pleasing men: but in simplicity of heart, fearing God. 3:23. Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men: 3:24. Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ. 3:25. For he that doth wrong shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully. And there is no respect of persons with God.  @GospelofRAK  Excerpt From The Bible, Douay-Rheims #minister #bibleverse #biblical #jesus #bible #scripture #holyspirit #church #verseoftheday #christianity #God #dailybibleverse #biblechapter #colossians #colossians3 #paultheapostle #epistle #biblereading

RAK Summary: 1. Scripture clearly indicates that God's followers would be called by his name. (2 Paralipomenon 7:14) 2. The Scriptures quoted in the Discussion below show that God the Son is called Jesus Christ and his followers being called "Christians" as derived from his last name (title) fulfills the prophecy of 2 Paralipomenon 7:14. 3. So, it is completely proper and in fulfillment of prophecy for God's people to be referred to as "Christians". #bibleverse #biblical #jesus #holyspirit #church #sermon #scripture #christiansermon #christianity #christian #jesuschrist #God #YHWH #Lord #Savior #Saviour #catholic #gospel

RAK: 1. Make to yourselves a new heart, and a new spirit (Ezechiel 18:31; ref. Romans 7:6) 2. I will pour clean water [Holy Spirit] upon you and put my Spirit in the midst of you and give you a new heart and a new spirit, and cause you to walk in my laws. (Ezechiel 36:24-27) 3. The Holy Spirit teaches us and we then apply our spirit [mind] to put to death the deeds of the flesh [quit sinning by breaking God's laws]. With our Renewed [Reborn] spirit [mind] we are then to serve the Law of God. (John 14:26; Romans 7:6-25; Romans 8:13, 12:1-2; Titus 3:5-6) 4. Baptism represents our having died with Christ, and death acquits from sin, so that when we arise from the watery grave of baptism we can now walk in newness of a sin-free life, the old self has been crucified with him. (Romans 6:3-7) 5. Walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4) 6. The old self has been crucified with Christ (Romans 6:6) 7. Obey from the heart (Romans 6:17) 8. Since the Law is spiritual, we are to serve the law with a new spirit, or mind. (Romans 7:5-6, 14, 22-25) 9. Serve in a new spirit (Romans 7:6) 10. If by the spirit we put to death the deeds of the flesh, we will live (Romans 8:13) 11. Whoever is led by the Holy Spirit of God, he is a son of God (Romans 8:14) 12. Present your bodies as a sacrifice, holy - your spiritual sacrifice, be transformed in the newness of your mind. (Romans 12:1-2) 13. We spoke what we learned from the Holy Spirit, combining spiritual (Holy Spirit) with spiritual (man's spirit). (1 Corinthians 2:13) 14. Wherefore we do not lose heart. On the contrary, even though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16) 15. First we are sons of God then the Holy Spirit is given to us (Galatians 4:5-8) 16. Our Renewal by the Holy Spirit saves us (Titus 3:5-6) 17. I will put my laws into their mind (Hebrews 8:10) 18. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit dwell in you and you have no need that anyone teach you as his anointing teaches you (1 John 2:27) #biblical #minister #jesus #christianity #christian #bible #church #sermon #christiansermon #service #God #YHWH #holyspirit #spirit #JesusChrist

RAK: Man has a Spirit 1. That which is Born of Holy Spirit is spirit [our mind] (John 3:6) 2. Romans 7:21-25 21 Therefore, when I wish to do good I discover this law, namely, that evil is at hand for me. 22 For I am delighted with the law of God according to the inner man. 23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and making me prisoner to the law of sin that is in my members. 24 Unhappy man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death? 25 The grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore I myself with my mind serve the law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin. 3. in order that the requirements of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the spirit [mind]. (Romans 8:4) 4. Romans 8:8-9, 13-16 8 And they who are carnal cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not carnal but spiritual, if indeed the [Holy] Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 13 for if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the flesh, you will live. 14 For whoever are led by the [Holy] Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 Now you have not received a spirit of bondage so as to be again in fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons, by virtue of which we cry, "Abba! Father!" 16 The [Holy] Spirit himself gives testimony to our spirit that we are sons of God. 5. We spoke what we learned from the Holy Spirit, combining spiritual (Holy Spirit) with spiritual (man's spirit). (1 Cor 2:13) 6. Galatians 5:16-23 16 But I say: Walk in the [Holy] Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you would. 18 But if you are led by the [Holy] Spirit, you are not under the Law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are immorality, uncleanness, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions [verbal struggles], jealousies, anger, quarrels, factions, parties, 21 envies, murders, drunkenness, carousing, and suchlike. And concerning these I warn you, as I have warned you, that they who do such things will not attain the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit is: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, 23 faith, modesty, continency [self-restraint]. Against such things there is no law. 7. Man is composed of spirit [mind], soul [emotions], and body [flesh] (1 Thessalonians 5:23) #biblical #minister #christianministry #sermon #soul #spirit #body,soul,spirit #jesus #bibleverse #holyspirit

RAK Summary: Angel, simply means messenger. God created angels to minister to or aid human beings who are to inherit salvation. He uses two types of angels: 1. Heavenly spirits, who, when they are sent to give a man or woman his message, usually take on the appearance of a man, and 2. actual earthly flesh and blood men born of woman. God specifically says we are not to worship - give God-like honor, respect or reverence to - the angels, for anyone, or anything, that is exalted in the sight of man is an abomination to God. #biblicalseries #minister #biblical #jesus #christianity #church #sermon #scripture #bibleverse #holyspirit #angel #angels #archangels #messenger #angelofthelord #Godlovesyou #guardianangel #guardianangels

RAK: No close relationship can exist without trust between the two individuals involved. Once trust is broken, so is the relationship. This is why God permits divorce when adultery occurs - the trust between the man and his wife is broken. So, before you take a person as a true friend whom you can always rely on, carefully observe his/her speech over a significant period of time to find out if he/she lies to you or other people - if he/she lies to others, he/she will eventually lie to you. Also, if he/she lies about little things, he/she will lie about big things. Whatever you do, don't dismiss a little lie as inconsequential, but do as God says, flee away as fast as you can - your future happiness is at stake. #biblical #minister #jesus #jesuslovesyou #bible #church #christianity #christian #God #Holyspirit #lying #liar #fatheroflies #satan #thedevil #lucifer #manofsin #biblicalseries

God lives in us! We are the temple of God! “Us” refers to those who show their love for Him by keeping His commandments.

They were in the spirit, and they saw and prophesied His coming! Isaias 6:1-13 1 In the year that king Ozias died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and elevated: and his train filled the temple. 2 Upon it stood the seraphims: the one had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they flew. 3 And they cried one to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory. 4 And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I [Isaias] said: Woe is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that has unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King the Lord of hosts. 6 And one of the seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs off the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth, and said: Behold this has touched your lips, and your iniquities shall be taken away, and your sin shall be cleansed. 8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us? And I said: Lo, here am I, send me. 9 And he said: Go, and you shall say to this people: Hearing, hear, and understand not: and see the vision, and know it not. 10 Blind the heart of this people, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes: lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and I heal them. 11 And I said: How long, O Lord? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitants, and the houses without man, and the land shall be left desolate. 12 And the Lord shall remove men far away, and she shall be multiplied that was left in the midst of the earth. 13 And there shall be still a tithing therein, and she shall turn, and shall be made a show as a turpentine tree, and as an oak that spreads its branches: that which shall stand therein, shall be a holy seed. #throne #Godsthrone #biblical #minister #Christian #christianlifestyle #jesuslovesyou
