The Gospel According to
Scripture
By Stephan
Rich
I Corinthians 15:1-4 1: Moreover
brethren (Paul is Talking to believers here because we see he is talking to
brothers) I declare to you the Gospel (Paul makes it clear what he is declaring
that he had preached), which I preached to you. (So Paul preached the Gospel to
them even though they were already believers?) Which also you received (so they
had received it already yet he is preaching it again?) and in which you stand.
(So the Corinthian are standing in it) (Believing yet he is still preaching it
to them?) 2: By which you are saved (salvation: deliverance from something?) If
you hold fast that word which I preached to you (so he is telling them they
have to hold on to, or stand in the Gospel) unless you believed in vain (so if
your not holding onto, and standing in it your believing is in vain, empty not
working useless) (the word believing meaning: to trust in, rely upon, to adhere
to stick fast like super glue)
3: For I delivered to you first of all
that which I also received. (Paul delivered the gospel to them and they also
received it, and were standing in it) (And now he proclaims what he preached to
them as the Gospel) that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.
(Proclaimed by the prophets Ish: 52-53 and of course many other prophets, and
the Psalms) 4: And that he was buried and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures. Romans 9 that if you confess with your mouth
(Faith comes by hearing) the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has
raised Jesus from the dead you will be saved. (Receive salvation deliverance
from what ever is hindering you from receiving any of the promises that came
through Gods plan of salvation that God predestined before the world was formed
through Jesus death, burial, and resurrection.)
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed (not
afraid to trust in) of the Gospel of Christ (Gods plan of salvation through
Jesus death, burial, and resurrection for it is the POWER OF God to salvation
(deliverance from hindering influences) for every one who believes (trusts in,
relies upon, adheres to the power and ability of God that God worked in Jesus
when God raised Jesus from the dead the 3rd day) For the Jew first and also for
the Greek (gentiles). Romans 1:17 For in it (the Gospel, the death burial, and
resurrection and the power and ability of God that raised Jesus from the dead)
the righteousness (Gods will for any given situation) of God is revealed (must
be hidden until his power mixed with faith a confident expectation it will work
to deliver us from what is hindering us from what we were promised through the
death, burial, resurrection by the power of god that He worked in Jesus working
through us) Revealed from faith in Gods power to faith in Gods power to deliver
us: as it is written “the just shall live by faith”.
How does faith come, it comes by
hearing the Gospel preached (published proclaimed, and demonstrated, with the
ability of God to deliver us from what is hindering us from receiving the
promises?) So what are the promises? I am so glad you asked, all our sins,
transgressions (rebellions) iniquities (perversities any teaching we have
believed that twists us and turns us away from believing the power of God)
Healing by his stripes that were healed 2000 years ago when Jesus was raised
from the dead. Redemption from the powers of darkness, demons, curses,
witchcraft, sorcery, evil governments, powers might’s and dominions of satan
and all his wicked servants WHEN we exercise the authority of Jesus in us as
God leads us by His spirit and Power. Deliverance from poverty II Corn 8:9
Justified as though we had never sinned so we wont fell Guilty, ashamed or
condemned if we do then we need to look at our believing and overcome.
Sanctified separated to God from sin, powers of darkness, ECT. Made righteous
by Jesus blood a free gifts not my actions. Made to be Kings and Priest unto
our God to rule and reign in this life in Jesus Christ.
In Mark 1:14-15 Now after John was
put in prison. Jesus came into
Mark 4:11 And Jesus said to them “to
you it has been given to know the Mystery (something hidden) of the Kingdom of
God: (Jesus declares it as a mystery and the mystery is Gods power and ability,
and Jesus has to reveal it to them) but to those who are outside (don’t have ears
to hear because they are still hindered by the blinding power of satan the god
of this world.) All things come in parables. Mark
Yes I am going to move forward in
this gospel leaving the flesh behind overcoming, and seeing Gods Gospel of the Kingdom
work in my life and in the lives of all those who will humble themselves listen
to and apply it to their lives. The Spirit of God in 1997 Ministered to me that
when I read Ish 52-53, and the Psalms out loud it will start to purge my
conscience from dead works to serve the living God. So I took God at his word
and started reading Ish 52-53 out loud 3-5 times in a row a day as well as the
psalms and new testament daily. And he started delivering me from fear, doubt, and
unbelief. By helping my Unbelief by the working of miracles, signs, and wonders
by the way that’s how God worked through Jesus ministry to help those he was
preaching to believe, the Apostles word was also confirmed by miracles signs
and wonders Mark 16:20 and that’s how God delivered the Jews out of Egypt.
God did not do these things because I
was seeking a sign but because he delighted in do so and it glorified him. This
also came about because I was obedient to hear the word of God and do it by
sowing the word in my heart as I was instructed to do. God will do the same for
any one who will humble themselves by taking to heart Gods way of sowing His
gospel into their heart and they will experience more and more of Gods power
and ability well beyond just God waking you up in the morning, if that’s the
only testimonies you have then you need to sow, sow, sow, the word in your
heart with an anticipation that God will do something for you. The most
answered prayers I have prayed all start with Heavenly Father in the name of
Jesus I just want to put my trust in you and see your provision for
___________? And have a confident expectation that God will do something
tangible for you. For we must come to God believing that he is God and that he
is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him amen.
Faith to faith means believing God to
do something until it happens to believing God to do the next thing until it
happens for the just shall live by Faith, a confident expectation that God is
going to do something to delivers us from what ever is in our way.
Un-forgiveness, sickness, poverty, guilt, condemnation, Power of darkness,
demons, that have us bound ECT. You see Paul, Jesus, and all the Apostles, kept
preaching the Gospel even to believers because they knew that faith comes by
hearing the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom so they continued to sow it
into the hearts of believers, these were tongue speaking, prophesying, miracle
working spirit filled churches. Writing a foundation in their hearts by the
Spirit of God speaking out of their mouths. Just like Jesus, and the Prophets.
Faith would arise in their hearts by the spirit of God. Then the signs of
believers form Mark 16 would follow them in their every day walk in the
resurrection power of God. As I too have
seen more and more since 1997 after I started attending Water of life Church
where God led me by his spirit and power, and their they started ministering
these things by the sprit not the flesh amen.
Math 10: The disciples were
instructed what to preach and what to expect the results to be, they were also
commanded to live by faith don’t take money, extra clothes ect they had to
trust God to provide all their needs by his spirit and power this is how God
wants all his children to live trusting him to provide everything from the possible
to the impossible in our lives every day on earth as it is in heaven (no
sickness, no sin, no poverty, no one is blind, lame, no unrighteousness) When
Jesus disciples returned Jesus asked them did you want for anything they all
said no and even the demons were subject to them. God bless and keep you and
all those around you opening your hearts receive, believe and understand what
the spirit of the Lord is saying and doing in the world today In Jesus name
amen.
