Matthew 3 ; 7 - 12

Matthew 3 ; 7 - 12

Who warned you to escape from the coming retribution ? Then prove your repentance by the fruit it bears ; and do not presume to say to yourselves , "We have Abraham for our father." I tell you that God can make children for Abraham out of these stones here. Already the Axe is laid to the roots of the trees ; and every tree that fails to produce good fruit is cut down and thrown on the fire. I baptize you with water , for repentance ; but the one who comes after me is mightier then I . I am not fit to take off his shoes . He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. His shovel is ready in his hand and he will winnow his threshing-floor ; the wheat he will gather into his granary , but he will burn the chaff on a fire that can never go out."

(NOTE) who said this ? Yes you are right John the Baptist. John was telling us here to serve the Lord , and use the gifts God has given us. He also is telling us it don't make a difference who we are, Red , yellow , black , Brown , or wight. That won't get us to heaven. But Jesus and serving Jesus can. He was also telling us we need to be baptize and be baptized by the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 3 ; 13 Then Jesus arrived at the Jordan from Galilee , and came to John to be baptized by him.

(NOTE) - Even Jesus had to be baptized before He began His work on earth.

Matthew 3 ; 16 - 17 After baptism Jesus came up out of the water at once , and at that moment heaven opened ; he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove to alight upon him ; and a voice from heaven was heard saying , " THIS IS MY SON , MY BELOVED, ON WHOM MY FAVOR RESTS."

(NOTE ) - WOW ! Praise the Lord , Praise God , Praise God , Praise Jesus , Thank you Jesus. Oh thank you.

Isn't that great ? A dove to alight upon Him and get this a voice from heaven saying ( This is my Son , my Beloved ). You know where we would be today if Jesus had not arrived on earth then for us.

Mark 6 ; 11

Mark 6; 11 At any place where they will not receive you or listen tio you , shake the dust off your feet as you leave.

Acts 16;16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 18And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

(NOTE)- Brother and Sisters in Christ there are still demons on earth.Pastors and those with the armor of the Lord can still cast them out in the name of Jesus. For when Jesus gave his life on the cross , by that blood He gave the power of healing and the casting out of demons.This woman in Acts 16;16-18 Was possessed by a demon . This is why Paul had to cast it out.

Matthew 12;24 tels another name for Satan , Devil or Beelzebub.

Matthew 12; 42

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation

(NOTE)- Jesus cast out the demon. So the demon left. When the demon could not find another human body to live in , he went back to the body he had ben cast out. When he got there he found the house or body nice and clean and neat. The man or wopman had no trubles and all things going well in there life. So the demon went and got 7 mor demons worse then himself to move in with him and moved back in.So why could these demond move back in after Jesus moved them out ? Because the person did not except God the father , Jesus Christ God's son & our savior , & the Holy Spirit.

I know a woman who I cast out a demon. For a long time she went to church and things went well. Her husband would not give up evel things even though he was going to church.They left the church and the demons came back. People there are still demons out there.

Matthew 13 ; 19-23 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Matthew 13 ; 40-43 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 13 ; 49-50 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth

(NOTE)- So live your lives for the Lord
