God’s Perfect Word
How precious to be able to read God’s Book in English, the King James Version (AV, KJV, KJB, PCE), and know with divine certainty that every word is accurate, and faultless. This revelation is a gift from God I treasure.
I believe the KJV is His perfect word in English, and when you receive the same revelation, it will light your eyes afresh with wonder at the glory of The LORD Jesus Christ, and the grace of God.
Seek the LORD, ask Him to show you directly, and He will if you are serious. Without it, you will wobble and flounder in unbelief and indecision. You’ll be swayed from the plan God has for your life by false teachings.
Father doesn’t condemn people for using one of the plethora of modern Bible versions pumped out by the enemy, but He prefers you to hear Him clearly. Reading a NKJV, ESV, NIV, NASB, etc. is like listening through a crackling telephone connection, or a distorted radio signal drifting in frequency.
All modern “bibles” are broken and they are getting worse, not better: Abandon them, and take up God’s written word today, let Him teach you Bible English, and you will grow in leaps and bounds.
The Holy Ghost transforms confusion, and doubt, into confidence in Christ, through the word.
Gospel: The Word of His Grace
For example; the expression, the word of his grace is used in Acts 14:3, and 20:32 KJV to describe Christ’s Gospel ministry through Paul;
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
We see in the first scripture, that it was God Himself who gave testimony to the word of his grace.
How did God testify?
By granting signs and wonders be done by their hands.
Paul and Barnabas preached the word of his grace boldly, and God confirmed it by healing those who believed the message, and upon whom they laid their hands in faith.
God still does that: The days of miracles, signs and wonders, continue wherever the word of His grace is proclaimed boldly, and people believe it.
Notice, in the second scripture; the word of His grace builds up believers, and gives them an inheritance among the sanctified.
Builds up and gives an inheritance.
The word of his grace doesn’t; condemn, crush, or burden hearers: It liberates, refreshes, restores, builds, develops and increases confidence in Christ.
And it gives an inheritance.
Gives.
The whole of Creation proclaims it.
God is love, and love gives.
He gave His only Begotten Son.
The Inside Information
The instant you repented from unbelief, and received Christ as LORD; God made you Christ’s joint-heir. Ro. 8:16-17 KJV;
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Pause for a moment to enjoy the Spirit of God bearing witness with your spirit that you are His child.
Sense the Spirit of the LORD in your heart confirming that very word.
He is the Spirit we are led by, the Spirit we are to follow all the time.
Just as Jesus did.
The Kingdom of God Within
It is the Spirit of the King of kings.
It is the Kingdom of God within you.
Enthrone the King in your heart. Let Him take His seat.
Enter into His Glory, and remain there.
It is what He created you for.
All He Has is Mine in Christ
Remind yourself;
Father has made me His heir and Christ’s joint-heir.
The word declares that I have inherited everything that the LORD has, Rom. 8:17 KJV;
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
There’s more good stuff for believers, Mtt. 5:5 KJV;
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Much of His inheritance is available now, here on Earth; eternal life, peace, righteousness, redemption, wisdom, perfect health, divine authority, power, and so on.
They are ours by the grace of God through the faith of Christ, and our part is simply to believe, and act on, God’s glorious promises, 2 Pe. 1:4 KJV;
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
There’s even more reserved for us in Heaven (1 Pe. 1:4). But be sure to take hold of what is available to you down here, today, in Christ.
Divine eternal life, peace, righteousness, and perfect health are ours entirely through faith in the word of His grace. 2 Pe 1:1-3 KJV;
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
By Grace Alone
Headstrong, impetuous Peter, was humbled by the LORD, then honed into an Apostle, who finally realised everything we receive from God is by His grace, through trusting in His word of promise: Made Flesh in The LORD Jesus Christ.
Saul (later re-named Paul), a Jew of Jews, claimed to have obeyed the Law perfectly, and was right with God, until humbled by the LORD, and discovered he was actually God’s enemy, not His friend or disciple.
Henceforth, Paul preached boldly that the works of the Mosaic Law were unable to save anybody, no matter how diligent and careful to observe them. Even to the point of publicly rebuking the Apostle Peter to his face, in this precious scripture which modern bibles mercilessly mutilate, Gal. 2:16 KJV;
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Paul quickly understood the message from God, and that the whole point of the Law, is the word of His grace, Acts 14:3, and 20:32 KJV;
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Everything we get from God is by faith in His grace in Christ.
It is the key to receiving salvation, healing, and deliverance.
No wonder Paul majored on the word of His grace.
So do we. Halleluia!
Love is the Fulfilment of the Law
Alongside that, we keep in mind, believers are to keep the moral aspects of the Jewish Law, which we do by obeying the New Covenant’s Royal Law of love. You won’t break any Old Testament Law when you walk in God’s love, as Gal. 5:15 KJV confirms;
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Join with me in praise of The Lord Jesus Christ for the word of his grace!
Bodily healing in this life is part of the divine inheritance of every child of God. The sufferings, afflictions, and hardships Christians are called to bear for God’s Glory never include sickness, disease or infirmity of the flesh: That is why Christ bore them all for you, to set you free. Christ The Healer by FF Bosworth is the landmark classic that re-established this forgotten Gospel basic in modern times. It is pure joy to read, and be set free from all doubt concerning your perfect bodily health today. Once you understand the scriptural basis of your healing, you will believe, and then see it, every time.
