My Word Shall Not Fade Away

My Word Shall NOT Fade Away

　

"4 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.

2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.

5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people." (Deuteronomy 4:1-6 KJV)

　

Introduction- Beloved of our Father, and friends who hear this teaching, it is no coincedence that Providence hath dictated you should be here to hear and read the words of this teaching. I humbly admit to you personally, this was preched to me, through the Word of God, interpreted in the grace and power of the Holy Spirit, and pierced my heart for a season now. So much so, as to become a daily, nightly, and even sleep awakening burning in the mind and bones of a man is the least worthy of God's love, mercy, grace, and attention. In Myrick vernacular, this has been preached to me for over nine months by various men of God, but more importantly the all consuming Word of God Himself.

We live in a season of time, in which humanity as attempted feebly to usurp the power and glory of God, on HIS THRONE. With the advent of the "Information Age", man has been decieved into thinking he knows what's best for himself, and by default, society. Iniquity abounds, over fifty million innocent souls sacrificed to the god known as "Molech" under the redefinition of the words: TERMINATE, MURDER, and INFANTCIDE, to the less truthful terminology of abortion and then humanly justified as choice. Using this example alone, among many other redefined words of sin and iniquity, let us look at the root of this cancer, plauge, and destruction of humanity.

　

I.) There must be a standard or guidline to base behavior and choices upon for liberty.

You may be asking, "Why a rule, law, or standard? Isn't that a Pharisee or Legalistic approch?" I say that you are asking the wrong question. Wouldn't a more honest question be, " How is there liberty with standards and rules?" An easy and quick temporal example is this: Purpose if you could for a moment, there was no law prohibiting murder, manslaughter, assault, rape, or driving under the influence. Now, ask yourself this: "Would I be safe taking my wife to Dairy Queen? MacDonald's? Walmart? School?" No you wouldn't my friend, because you have lost the liberty to do so. Am I wrong? Of course not!

II.) What standard is the most truthful and trustworthy to apply and heed?

A.) "5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." (Proverbs 30:5-6 KJV) Here we see a pure Word, every Word of God is PURE! Not just John 3:16. Not Just Ephesians 2:8-9. Not Just the 23rd Psalm! God said All.

B.) "In the beginning Elohim (God) said..." (Genesis 1:1 KJV) I present the very first Word spoken to humanity, upon which that which wasn't, became so! That is AUTHORITY for the Word of God being PURE!

C.) That was written in antiquity, it's Old Testament, that doesn't apply to the church age and dispensation of grace most say. HMMMMMM! Really now?

"6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." (Isaiah 40:6-8 KJV) Here we see what God says about His Word, it endures FOREVER. The same can not be said for trees, flowers, grass, or flesh. A great example would be Isaiah! Almost three thousand years ago God penned this through him, and Isaiah physically died, BUT, BUT, the Word of God is presented to you right now, yes, its still here!

D.) Let us transition with a passage the Word (Logos) Jesus spoke and speaks Himself to remove the fallacy that Old Testament passages don't count under grace. In this passage, the adversary Satan, father of all lies, twisted the scripture in an attempt to appeal to Christ as a man. He uses an Old Testament passage to try, yet a feeble attempt it was.

"4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:1-4 KJV)

The Son of God, the Word Himself, defeated the tempter with what? The Word of God! Not the New Testament either, it was an Old Testament passage! All the Word of God is relevant and applicable Beloved! All!

IV.) What does this mean right here and right now? How does this have anything to do with me? Friends, in today's society, it has more than you can possibly imagine. Consider this example: Marriage. Marriage defined by God, translated and applied in its original English meaning perfectly as God intended, in king's English, or "proper English." Oh but brother Jason this has changed over the last four hundred years, words and meanings change. Stop right there! The original intent of the word GOD CHOSE IS STILL WHAT HE INTENDED IT TO BE.

a.) Proverbs 30:6 KJV- "6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." God did NOT change His Word! News flash Beloved man changed it! According to God, man is a liar. Think back to Genesis 3. Who else twisted and changed scripture? Satan. Who else added to what God said? Eve. See the pattern? Nothing new under the sun, as God says in the Book of Ecclesiastes.

b.) We are saved by the Word of God, our faith comes by the hearing of the Word of God, and we are instructed and protected by the Word of God! Jesus IS THE WORD of GOD! "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men." (John 1:1-4 KJV)

We trust Jesus for our salvation, for our eternal destination, so that means we place all faith and confidence in Him and His Word. Suppose the illogical and impossible for a moment. IF, IF God changed is Word, or meanings of His Word, then how could you trust salvation, heaven, and the verse (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)? How would you be able to come to faith in Christ? Endure till the end? Worship God the Father in heaven?

c.) A final warning about messing with the Word of God, with finding "better translations" that allow me to make my own choices without consequences. (Revelation 22:18-19 KJV) - "18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Stern and straight forward are the introductory verse in Deuteronomy, and here in the last chapter of the Bible, and two of the last four verses of the Bible.

Conclusion: Who are you listening to? ARE YOU READING POST KING'S ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS? Are you reading the man twisted translations such as NIV, HCSB, Amplified, or the Message Bible? Christian, if you are, please place it on a back shelf of a forgotten row of books. Take the KJV and treasure it!

You may be here and lost, unredeemed, a child of wrath destined for condemnation, BUT Jesus is waiting, waiting for you! Choose now whom you will serve. Choose Christ and live!
