We are all called to preach as believers.
We would not live in the reality of being a preacher if we do not stop giving flimsy excuses.
We ought to do the word!
In this series we looked into the facts of Evangelism;
What is Evangelism and what Evangelism is not
What are the facts of the Gospel?
What do we preach as preachers?
God's word was first spoken, then written so that it can be spoken.
Keep using your words.
The word of God is given to us so that we can speak with boldness.
Hebrews 13 v 5 and 6
Let your conversation be without covetousness and be content with such thing as ye have. For He has said " I will never leave you nor forsake you"
A careful examination from scriptures on who your pastor is and how to relate with your pastor.
A relationship existed between Abraham and Lot. Strife can in between, Lot will go his separate way, this will lead to the genesis of the Moabites, a restoration will be brought back through Ruth and Boaz.
The saints are a called out people.
We have been called out of darkness into the Kingdom of God's Light.
Philippians 2 v 2 - 4
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Psalms 22 v 28
For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.
God blessed man and said "be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth"
What does this mean?

An introduction to the big Malachi 3 explanations
The Generous Heart
Paying attention to how Paul taught the Grace of God to the Corinthians using the Churches of Macedonia.
Our yearly conference. 2023 Edition.
Where we come together to learn about our in Christ realities from the pages of the scriptures.
From Pauls writing in 1 Corinthians 14 v 26 "How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.", we see that when believers come together, we can actually
sings psalms by God's Spirit in us.
Pauls also in Ephesians 5 v 18 - 19
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
We ought to allow the message of Christ dwell richly in our hearts, that way we give much more edifying spiritual songs.
Col 3 v 16, 17
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
The believer has come into God's rest. Tongues is an ability in Rest. Tongues is for every believer.
Ephesians 6 v 18 - 19
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
We examined Paul's request for the church to pray for him, as well as the instruction to pray for those who have rule over us as saints (Hebrews 13 v 18)
Psalms 2 v 8
Ask of me,
and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Jesus' mode of teaching 2
Luke 24 v 27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Jesus had a mode of teaching. In that, we see an example to follow.
Luke 24 v 27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
Matthew 19 v 27 - 30
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5
The seed planted in our hearts is the garment of salvation we have received by believing the gospel.
Isaiah 42
I the LORD have called thee in righteousness,
and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee,
and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
To open the blind eyes,
to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Isaiah 61 vs 10
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,
my soul shall be joyful in my God;
for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments,
and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Hebrews 13 v 5 - 6
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Titus 1 v 2 - 3
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
Salvation has always been God's plan from time, this was expressed in various ways across the writings of Moses and the Prophets
The bible is very heavy on figures of speech, we ought to be able to differentiate between literal conversations and figurative conversations.
Reading is one of the most important tools in bible interpretation, we ought to to give ourselves to reading the bible contextually.
We are called to be diligent students of the word, as our knowledge of the word influences every other aspect of our lives.
The local church is God's plan for your spiritual growth.
It is God's will that believers gather together in a place, physically to edify one another.
An introduction to the revelation of the blood of Jesus.
The blood of Jesus is about His life and Spirit
Our hearts ought to carry a slant of Honour to be able to receive from God through the hands of saints.
We can position our hearts to receive from God when hands are laid on us.
Acts 8 v 14 - 18
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Through the laying on of hands, spiritual things are communicated.
Believers are all related by the Spirit of God given in the Resurrection.
We ought to recognise and value ourselves as Gods vessels on the earth, who carry Gods power and can communicate God's power with our touch.
God's Men are custodians of God's Power on the Earth.
The Spirit of God in man is the fulfilment of the prophecy about Heaven and Earth.
James 2 v 14 - 22
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
What was James teaching?
Hebrews 12 v 5 - 11
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

How we sing spiritual songs as Saints and what Paul taught.
Ephesians 5 v 17 - 19
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
What did Paul mean by Keeping Silence.
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
An explanation to Isaiah 28 : 12
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Scriptures say we would speak with New Tongues when we believe the Gospel.
This is a gift to us in the redemption.
We have taken out time to pay attention to the link between faith and healing across scriptures.
Our God is a healer.
Physical healing is a sign that points to the Spiritual healing supplied by the Resurrection of Jesus.
We have taken out time to investigate Paul's encounter with Jesus in Acts chapter 9 and what conclusion he came to from that encounter.
Examining the writings of Moses and the Prophets, we are able to explain the functions behind the use of names with emphasis on the name "Jesus"
Moses in his writings points our attention to Jesus Christ and what He will accomplish in the resurrection.
The God of the Fathers; The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
A look into this as used by Moses.
Jesus never referred to Genesis to Malachi as the Old Testament books, neither did any of the apostles.
We have paid attention to Jesus' mode of teaching to see how He read the Holy Scriptures.
We have been instructed by Jesus to go into all the world and teach the Gospel. There is a mode of teaching expected from the believer.
