Dispensational what izm???



Romans 11:13 (KJV)  “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:


It’s amazing how most fellowship pastors, teachers and elders fail to understand who Paul was and what his ministry is. Most only teach from Paul’s writings when it bolsters the passage they are using. They chose a passage from Genesis 12 to Acts 8 or Hebrews to Revelation; then enforce their text from Paul’s writings when it fits.   

Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 11:32 was where God was working with the whole world.  No law, but only the conscience of man to direct man. 

From Genesis 12:1 to Acts 8:40.  There in these passages God calls out a people for His name and His work.  God gives them the “Law” given through Moses to the Israelites to live by:  moral, ceremonial and social law.  

Side bar:  Romans chapters 9-11 explains Israel’s past position, their failures, the calling of Gentiles and Israel’s future when this dispensation of the grace of God is complete.  

Acts 9 to Philemon,  Paul called and is given the secrets of the mystery of the church, its purpose, its conduct, its position in the whole scheme of God’s eternal plan for the body of Christ.  

Hebrews to Revelation, again resumes working with the nation Israel and its future as given in Revelation.

When the church, not fellowships but believers in the body of Christ understand the dispensation of the grace of God given:  “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me (Paul)  to  you-ward (believers, the body, those in Christ)”  Ephesians 3:2.  When the body learns how to:  “Study to shew thyself approved unto God (why one is approved!) a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”  2 Timothy 2:15.  

A good resource to use, to see the grace message presented flawlessly by a pastor in Indiana:  use youtube, search “James Devney         
the grace message.  The message is 34.50 minutes, James presents scriptures from the King James Bible, as he expounds on grace.  I have discovered it helps tremendously when I hear different members within the body of Christ say the same things but from their diverse prospectives; I do truly hope that this helps as you discover who the LORD Jesus Christ is.  

The only gospel that saves in this period of grace:  “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”  1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Thank You LORD Jesus for loving me and giving me Your life.  I don’t understand, except by Your amazing grace, why I was chosen to see the the truths of Your word the way they were intended.  I thank You that I do see and understand and pray that others too would come to the truth, wisdom, knowledge and understanding that is only found in You.  In Your name, Jesus’s name Amen . . . . . . . .

Which Body?

  2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things  done  in  his  body, according to that he hath done, whether  it be  good or bad. Ephesians 4:4 There is  one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; The word “body” has many definitions.   In 2 Corinthians 5:10, Strong’s #4983 defines body as “used in a very wide application”. First look at 2 Corinthians 5:10, and remove the italics.   Italics are not scripture but an addition made by the King James translators to make the flow of or the reading of easier.   So, without the italics;   “ For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things in body, according to that he hath done, whether good or bad.   My question was how do I define this word “body”.   Is it the physical body or as per Ephesians 4:4a; “...

Do what to be saved?

Acts 16:29-31 Authorized King James Version [AKJV]:   'Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said Sirs, what must I do to be saved?   And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."   The question that has plagued man thought out history; what must one believe to be saved?   Believe the gospel which is what?   " Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1Corinthains 15:1-4.   To believe that t...

Who Provides?

JEHOVAH-JIREH In Hebrew “JEHOVA-JIREH is defined as “The L ORD my Provider”.   The word “provider” as used here isn’t a given.   The item being provided must be believed to be authentic and is capable of doing what is promised. Until one believes God [ But without faith  it is  impossible to please  him:  for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and  that  he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:6] no spiritual and little physical profit is gained.   First then, what must one believe? That God is and what He says to an individual is important, is truth,   [Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word  is truth. John 17:17]. Next, that He is faithful to do as promised [ God  is  faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.   1 Cor 1:9          There hath no temptation taken you but such as is...
