C.O.T.E.M SERMONS

Luke 2:10  But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  

We have important decisions to make, will I believe in the Word of God or will I choose to abandon all hope of joy and live in sorrow.  Not only did God promise joy but He also banished sorrow.  

Revelation 21:4 (kj) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.  God wasted no time in reminding us in Luke 2:10 that we are not to be afraid. “The good news will cause great joy for all the people” (Gods People).  

Listen to the reason we have to live in joy.

Joel 2:12 “Even now,” declares the Lord,“ return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” 

I have learned that there is a very distinct difference between spirit and soul.  “Your spirit is your innermost part, not your “immortal soul.” I believe that your soul is your will, emotions and your conscience.  Your mind is between your spirit and your soul.  The Vision comes through the mind and is stored in the Heart.  (Ps 50 – clean heart and renew a right spirit, a spirit that will see the Vision, the Way, Truth, Life and place it in my Heart that I will not sin against Thee).  You cannot hide from God what is in your Heart! Jeremiah 17:9,10.

John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  

Here in John chapter 8, we continue to follow Jesus through the Mount of Olives. It is here it seems that Jesus would rekindle His strength through prayer, meditation, and time with His Father.  The truth is a hard pill to swallow, but so is a spoon of castor oil. Its benefits were widely used for relief of constipation, arthritis, high blood pressure and more.   But the truth is no one volunteered to take it even when told it would make them better. 

The Jewish Pharisees believed that being children of Abraham nullified them from being labeled slaves. That their truth resides in their connection to Abraham. Jesus responded to them: if you were Abrahams children, then you would do what Abraham did. But you don’t even do that. Now we know that Abraham was a man of faith, not perfect, with the same faults as the rest of us, and a friend of God. Unlike the Pharisees who followed him, Abraham was willing to sacrifice his only son at the command of God.

John 16:33b In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”  

Gethsemane was a place of prayer, it was a place of peaceful solitude, it was also a place of anguish and momentary separation from the Father, ultimately it became the place of courage, and victory over all the evil and power of this world. A place where Jesus regained His divine strength and Oneness with the Father. Today’s scripture John 16:33b In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!  “I have overcome the world.” This is our Lord’s promise to us. In His promise is found a nugget: “Peace and the power of it thereof”: “I AM” the peace, “even in the midst of chaos” (the world) if you find me, you will have found peace, “even in the midst of chaos” (the world). 

There are 3 aspects of trial Jesus suffered in the Garden that we also will suffer. Join In .

Psalm 118:8-9 – “It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man. (male or female) 9) It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes (rulers, chief or leaders or one of the highest rank of any class).”  

1 John 2:27  – But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.  

LET INCENSE ARISE – When we pray God listens, God answers.  Revelation 3:19-20 – “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.  20) Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my Voice and Opens the Door, I will come in and eat with him (them) and he (they) with ME.  I was reading about Paul’s breakthrough, coming from a Hebrew of Hebrews to an Apostle to the gentles. 1 Cor. 2:10-16  “What did Jesus say?” and “What did GOD say?” Learning to Trust and depend on the Word can be difficult for some and not so difficult for others. Depending on religion and culture.   Join Us for the conclusion of the question.

GOD LOVES US!  Whenever anything interferes with His plan for us, God sends a message, He will not lead us into darkness. 

TRUST GOD and Be Free – Trust man and become empty. 

The Book of RUTH is about a Faith Walk -  Faith in Man or Faith in God or FAITH in the man of God. Or is this a story or lesson when you are obedient to law or did she have a choice?  A land of foreign worship. Was her husband playing possum?   Maybe you need to listen to Pastor Jacques sermon so you will know the difference . . . Join Us Now.

Deuteronomy 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 

Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.                                 

It's not the possum that is an abomination unto God, for the possum is doing what God created him to do. It is the man (human) which acts like a possum or playing as if he is something in fact which he is not, in this case a Christian, that is an abomination unto God.    

Jesus said no servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Seeking that which is an abomination to God will cause you to be driven out from Him. Being a possum will not be enough, Luke 16:15 say’s “God knows your heart”.  You cannot play like a Christian but live a secret life of a heathen.

John 1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  

In God is life, from the beginning, and the Logos “Word” has been from the beginning. There is no separation between the Logos and life. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God (John 1:1). In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind (John 1:4). Without spiritual light we suffer spiritual darkness. You will err in vision and stumble in judgment (Is. 28:7).  So, I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. (Ephesians 4:17) Your true self (reason, purpose, strength) is found in God, because His Word fills us with life, and in life there is only light, no darkness. We Have More To Say On This. Join Us.

Acts 2:1, 17-19 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.

The scripture say’s when the “day of Pentecost was fully come” “they were all with one accord” “in one place”. This could have happened anywhere at any time of God’s choosing (a Pentecost breakout”. The only ingredient necessary is:

1. A believer 

2. A relationship with God

3. The Holy Spirit 

So, what happened after the gathering  Post Pentecost Not long after the event, Peter and John went up to the temple for prayer. 

Acts 3:1.  The name of Jesus empowers us to miraculous heights.  Join Us For The Entire Message.

Hebrews 11:6 (NIV) And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

What's in the heart is real. Job 2:9-10 His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!” He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

Acts 2:1-7 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. 5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?

Jeremiah 29:13  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 

John 3:27  To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven."

Jesus made it possible for us to receive the true Blessings of God.   “These things I have spoken to you, that in ME you may have peace.  In the world your tribulation but take courage:  I have overcome the world.” Jn. 16:33.   UNDESERVED SUFFERING has a name, “SAY HER NAME!” (Mrs. Job)

Job 1:1 – There was A MAN in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that MAN was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. Job was a Man of integrity, “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.”  Job was the best of the best.  A very religious man that followed the moral principles of man. 

There was a Price that must be paid and God only begotten Son Jesus paid the Price on the Cross.  Therefore Job did not have Holy Spirt Power to OVERCOME.   But Holy Spirit sent a message to him through his wife,  “Do we curse God and die?” or seek, ask and knock for instructions?

Romans 8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

I.  You either have the Holy Spirit or you don’t. 

a. All believers, from the moment they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The Forgiver of their sins, and the Leader of their lives, have the      Holy Spirit living in them. (Transformation) 

II. Romans 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh. 

a. When you Cloth yourself with Christ, you leave no room for the adversary.  

III. 1 Corinthians 1:10  I appeal to you, brothers, and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 

a. This appeal is that there be no divisions in church doctrine, no doctrine of Paul, no doctrine of Apollos, etc. i.e., my pastor teaches, then, my pastor teaches, then, my pastor teaches.

Matthew 16:18  And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church; and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it.” (Peter represents believers)                                           

This sermon sums it all up, "Time To Love" Gods answer to everything man has chosen to do wrong. 

REDEMPTION POWER – Deliverance by payment of a price. The Blood, “Salvation from sin, death and the wrath of God by Christ’s sacrifice. 

Gen. 1: In the Beginning . . . The Spirit of GOD was moving over the surface of the water. 

God Created:  

1. GOD Said, "Let there be light: and there was light." 

2. Gen. 1:26 – God said “Let US make,” 27) And God created man. 28) And God Blessed them;  We must receive the blessing God spoke!

Part One – “TAKING THE AUTHORITY THAT BELONGS TO ME AS A BELIEVER IN  JESUS CHRIST!” Gen. 11:6 – “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them…… (Let us confuse their language). Gen. 1:29  – “Let us, make man in our image . . . We have followed the nation – It’s time to follow Christ – The Way.  “Bless every nation, with the Truth that gives eternal Life.

Psalm 119: 9-10 9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. 10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.  To original corruption all have added actual sin. The ruin of the young is either living by no rule at all or choosing false rules: let them walk by Scripture rules. To doubt of our own wisdom and strength, and to depend upon God, proves the purpose of holiness is sincere.  The final chapter of this three part sermon.

Jeremiah 29 :11 (kj) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  John 1:12-13 (kj) 12) But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.                                    

When receiving Gods word the Holy Spirit will at times supply me with enough food comprised of one piece or morsel of bread that is enough to complete with understanding the Word that must go forth. At other times the Spirit will leave a trail of bread that feeds me as I follow it. Today if you will, come with me as I continue, Gods Will: part two from last week.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (NIV) It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.   

Some may understand this to mean, just stay away from fornication and I am in His Will, others may see this as, I just need to do those things that pleases God.  I am here today to inform you that God's Will is in two forms: Will by desire and Will by decree! And don’t get this wrong in your understanding God, there is no confliction in His desire and decree, they are both one in His Will, they are broken down into two parts for OUR understanding of it.  This first of two parts is a must for the hearer.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you. Matthew 7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 

Abraham and Sarah both of which signify the gracious purpose and promises of God.  Favoritism, breeds Dysfunction. (Juda left the other brothers and went down to stay with Hiran) Tamar – Juda and finally things began to change (Perez and Zerah – Better Days!) Tamar – different women,  “God so loved the world!” The promise is for all who believe.  Rahab – Amorite, Ruth – Moabite, Bathsheba – Hittite, Canaanite. See the Vision in your mind and store the treasure in your heart! Pastor Jacquie brings it all together.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you. Matthew 7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  I believe it was the pathetic behavior of Juda, the chosen bloodline of Christ, Juda did not take a Hebrew wife, he took a Canaanite woman.  Tamar obeyed the law and should receive the benefits.   God said the Messiah would come through the line of Juda.  And God, [cannot lie] allow the Deceiver to be deceived.  I believe Tamar  believed and prayed to the God of the Hebrews.  (“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies.” Ps.138:7).   “Heavenly Father, how grateful I am that I am not left alone to flounder  (struggle or stagger helplessly or clumsily in water or mud) in weakness.  Strengthen me through the lifeline of prayer.” And it goes forward, in the genealogy.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you. Matthew 7:24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  “Years ago I posted a sign in my office that read, “The truth is bigger than my view of it”,   Today I would paraphrase that sign;  “God’s Vision for His church is bigger than my view of it!  [ Pastor O C Jones].   Matthew chapter one – Genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of Abraham.  The promises and the prophesy of God in Gen. 3:13-15; 12:2-3; 15:1-6, “the Word of the Lord came to Abram in a VISION, “See the Vision and build the treasure in your heart.  Kingdom building.  The genealogy of Jesus Christ is not without effect.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you. Matthew 7:24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  Vision Love and Treasure building.  This is the Freedom we were created to receive. Mary 4:8-10 “ Go then, preach the good news about the Realm [Kingdom].  Do not lay down any rule beyond what I determined for you, nor promulgate [into action or Force] law like the lawgiver, or else you be dominated by it.” This is the beginning of a four part series on "Better Days Ahead" by Pastor Jacquie. God said "You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you in Deuteronomy 4:2.
