1 Thessalonians ~ 5:11 to 5:28

first Thessalonians we're going to pick it up in chapter 5 here verse 11 in a moment what what has Paul told us in this book said Christ is returning but he's not coming back until the seventh trunk the four there's one out the last trunk that means you want to be real careful of who shows up at the sixth trunk because that's the fake now he continues own you said in this fifth chapter you're children of light not of night and of course Christ is that light that's why that every prophecy concerning God's children God's elect is given in solar that is to say days light whereas every prophecy that pertains to Satan basically is in moons or months or night that's the way you tell the difference you know you don't have to be a rocket scientist to follow God's Word and Paul's made it very clear that if you believe that Christ rose from the dead and is with the back to as father then you better believe all those that sleep are also risen and with him they're not out here in some hole in the ground and that was his message and that's why you are children of light and that's why God is the god of the living as we discovered in verse 10 which we completed that Christ died for us or whether we wake or sleep that we should live together with him eternally to live with him not be dead with him he rose from the dead and those that believe in him have risen also even those unbelievers have risen but they're in a bad part of paradise they're on the opposite side of the the Gulf so having said that chapter 5 verse 11 let's pick it up if we main let's go with it with a word of wisdom from our Father and it reads we're for comfort yourselves together and by one another even as also you do how do you edit something you correct it if you see somebody that's headed for trouble or in error then comfort them get their attention and try to correct them and even yourself as best as you can in other words the word continues to grow our minds and our spirit and we learn how to better please God and how to be blessed of God you do it through Eddy editing and so it is verse 12 and we beseech you brethren to know them which labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you in other words you you have a few scholars you protect them you watch over them and you listen as best you can whereby you become scholarly yourself verse 13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their works sake and be at peace among yourselves always you know God's Word among those that believe always brings peace now in non-believers they will make trouble they will cause trouble they will cause contingent and it is a wise person can get along with about anyone if it be possible but as Paul is stated there are some people you can't neighbor with or brother with it's impossible so those you just have to let God have his own time and way with verse 14 now we exhort you brethren warn them that are unruly comfort the feeble-minded you take care of the handicapped support the weak be patient toward all men and patience is certainly a virtue that is a wonderful thing is to have patience especially with with those that are dis that need understanding take a little more time with them and and comfort them comfort them with what the the love of the Lord Jesus Christ and when when someone that has a handicap still loves the Lord Jesus Christ what a witness they make because to a non-believer they're saying how can you be handicapped and still praise God you see it makes a fantastic witness so therefore encourage them love them assist them edit and let peace abound verse 15 see that none render evil for evil unto any man but Eve ever follow that which is good both among yourselves and to all men now where that is possible just because someone let's say that they do an evil thing to you don't turn around and throw the same thing back on them that that's it the way wars begin that's the way Wars start but use wisdom to correct them if you must have vengeance leave God be part of the vengeance for he will you'll take vengeance on anyone that touches his elect but at the same time don't blatantly give if you would one evil deed for another let your answer be productive progressive educational and in the Lord's way and it may sting real good but then that's good it'll heal over things we'll be just fine so this is something that wisdom is a wonderful thing when properly utilized all wisdom comes from God there's street smarts but true wisdom that's the ability to overcome in a world that Satan is the Prince of the darkness verse 16 and he begins to sign off here rejoice evermore do you know why you've got something to really rejoice about we started in verse 11 I'll back back up to 10 again Christ died on the cross that we could live forever you have eternal life you know when when you you can rejoice in that because all the evilness in this world is going to go away this earth is going to be put back in its original form what a beautiful place that's going to be we know from artifacts that the North Pole we had buttercups growing instead of ice Tundra because thank God didn't create anything void it was beautiful from North Pole to South Pole and when everything is put back in its proper place and the firmament is restored it's going to be that way again so you've got a lot to rejoice about that God loves you that God created you and in returning that love you have his blessings seventeen pray without ceasing this means this doesn't mean to do repetitious prayer that's that's a kind of a sins because if you do repetitious prayer pretty soon flesh gets in it okay and and pretty soon you're you're letting the flesh pray or rather than really talking to the father he likes an intelligent conversation in prayer and he likes it to come from your heart not some book or not some other person he likes to hear it from you well I'm a little bit awkward in speech that's fine he still loves you whether you're awkward in speech where the words come slow or the right words are hard to find the main words he wants to hear from you is father I love you because he created you to love him for his pleasure oh how about what dividends what great dividends that plays in one's life a lot of people go through life just kind of miserable souls and and you know you probably will never ask them but I dare say if you were to ask what I'm howling has it been since you prayed to the Father and told him you loved him well I'll never have well that's probably the reason you know they expect God to bless them but they never want to bless God he has feelings he has emotions and and Jesus wept tears for that city and our people it hurts his feelings he has feelings so when you pray let it be intelligent and in love verse 18 in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you you know there are even some groups some pastors that would tell you you demand from God you never it shows weakness to pray the will of God you know that's about as stupid as stupid can be and I'm not calling names it's just a stupid fact because if you really love the father and you know he knows what is good for you and what is bad for you that you always want it to be his will and entering your prayer you don't want him to give you something that's going to hurt you and if it is God's will it will never hurt you besides it's about time for some people to quit playing Christian if you really love God you want it to be his will anyway not your own or not somebody else's you want it to be your father's will so always by all means give thanks in prayer and and pray that it be Father's will when you ask for something therefore you have his guidance and his blessings it makes a big big difference that's the will of God in Jesus Christ concerning who concerning you 19 quits not the spirit now this means when when father nudges you or touches you recognize it he you got to understand he loves you and he's going to get your attention in life and many men said well it just happened that way and well you can call it that all you want to however there is a much deeper meaning for God's elect in this short little worse you will notice that the word spirit is in the is an uppercase s which means Holy Spirit if one of God's elect quints the Holy Spirit or refused the Holy Spirit to speak through them as it's written in Luke chapter 12 verse 10 that's the unpardonable sin so and the title and the subject of the book of Thessalonians is the return of Christ his coming so it makes that point very prevalent don't you ever overlook it quince not the Holy Spirit when he touches you verse 20 despise not prophesying man we've got prophecies from one wall to the other minor prophets major prophets Moses was a prophet Aaron even though he was a priest would prophesy and and occasionally was Aaron was wrong be that as it may but we've got all kinds of prophets right here in the Word of God he sent them and and don't despise them follow them pay attention study to show yourself approved rightly dividing the word of God therefore you'll always come out ahead you've got to study you got to think you've got to think for yourself because you are judged on your merits not somebody else's and in that book of life you want verse 10 of this chapter to pretend to you eternal life with the Lord Jesus Christ evermore eternal something really to rejoice about verse 21 prove all things hold fast that which is good you study and you prove it out in the Word of God if some man says something to you until you can prove it in God's Word it doesn't amount to a hill of beans excuse me it's got to be documented well documented where in God's Word it doesn't matter what man says it's what God says that counts and you want to always remember that that's why you have to prove the things proved and then once you accept that proof you make a stand for it you hold fast that which is good and hey you know what to do with the junk okay you get rid of it 22 abstain from all appearance of evil you you protect your character your credibility as as a Christian is very very important it's how others look at you and you know it is difficult for some people to accept the fact that people when you're a Christian and when you're blessed when you rejoice and when you love God it shows in your countenance in your appearance you're a Christ man Christian and people are drawn to that most often they want what you got that peace of mind that happiness that contentment they wanted and they want it real bad in this troubled world especially so protect your credibility and don't do things that might have the appearance of evil I know you wouldn't anyway but be careful in that 23 and the very God of peace sanctify you wholly and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and therefore then the subject of this book the return of the Lord Jesus Christ that that that you be that you are sanctified holy that is they approved and stamped through by Almighty God that that love you have for both the family the family of God God himself and the very word the prophecies the Word of God that leads and enables you to know that he's returning he's coming back and he's not coming back to say he's going to fly you away he's coming back for the Lord's Day which is a thousand year period it's called the millennium and we're going to reign with him as it is written in Revelation chapter 20 verse 5 what a what a wonderful book that is basically solely dedicated to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ whereby you have warning after warning sign after sign an example after example to edify yourself that means to edit out junk that man may have put in and follow God's Word as it is written in Ezekiel chapter 13 I am against those that teach my children to fly to save their souls because it is God's out reaching arms that save souls it is Christ the Savior don't ever forget that and being wholly sanctified by doing the best you can and and knowing that he's coming you know something this is the generation of the fig tree it's going to happen in and to this generation it is written in mark chapter 13 verse 24 faithful is he that calleth you who also will do it let that sink in real good God is always faithful he called you he knows his he led and he will do it do what return he is returning he's going to do it and he expects his leg elect to be the the performers that assist in bringing to pass that very first day when every knee shall bow to the Lord Jesus Christ and what a wonderful time that's going to be it's going to be a disappointing time for some that have worshiped the false Christ they claim to be real good Christians but somebody taught him to fly and you see that's the message Satan brings at the sixth Trump it's written have you read it and they fly with him Christ when he returns expects a virgin bride that's why he uses the analogy in mark 13 in Matthew 24 Walter those that are with child when I return it means somebody that are spiritually impregnated with false teaching whereby they fall in the sack with the false Christ and not only are they with child they're nursing along his evil wicked work he's faithful you be faithful to verse 25 brethren pray for us prayer is a powerful thing always pray for your Christian fellow citizens and brethren 26 greet all the Brethren with an holy kiss and this is this is family this is a Christian family and you know what the very word itself in the sharing of it kisses the very spirit the soul 27 I judged you by the Lord that this epistle be read into all the holy brethren be read to who to do all people movement of the Holy brethren best of the Brethren that wish to receive it read it to him teach it over and over and over again and again and again until they memorized the very fact that Christ is returning he is going to call he is not going to disappoint you because he is always faithful to his word read the Epistle 28 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you amen amen being translated means that's that that's it our Father loves you and he wishes for you to and it is his will as it is written in 2nd Peter chapter 3 that all come to repentance 4 7 and 8 that all come to repentance they won't but he he wishes they would they're his children he created them for his pleasure but some people don't give God any pleasure they bring about tears they bring about sorrow to our Father because they don't seem to understand when he took the time to write this wonderful letter of love to them it would seem that they do not wish to Dev to prove in all things rightly divide it they would rather do things in the world how short-sighted can one be because that's all it amounts to not eternal life but a short tour here on earth
