A Mature Believer

Personal Destiny

You are kept alive on earth to fulfill your personal destiny

--to become a mature believer as an expression of God's

glory in both time and eternity. Only as a mature believer

can you consistently glorify God and receive the highest

and best that He has prepared for you (Ephesians 1:3-6).

You advance spiritually by consistently learning, thinking,

and applying Bible doctrine. Persistent intake and application

of doctrine increase your capacity for life, for love, for Christian

service, for blessings, for happiness.

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make

you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,to

the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory,

majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and for

ever. Amen (Jude 24--25).

Renew Your Mind

Learn

When you learn who and what Christ is, you can begin to

apply His thinking . God commands you to think divine 

viewpoint "by the renewing of your mind" so that His 

gracious purpose can be fulfilled in your life (Romans

12:2). God's purpose for you after salvation calls for

spiritual growth.

But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day

of eternity. Amen. (2 Peter 3:18)

In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

John 1:4

Christ Mind

Heaven

Is guaranteed to every believer (1 Peter 1:4-5). But the

quality and impact of the believer's life on earth depend 

on his execution of God's plan AFTER salvation. What 

is God's plan for you following your personal faith in 

Christ?  Learn and apply Bible doctrine and advance to 

spiritual maturity. The Bible reveals God's person and

plan. Bible doctrine is the content of the Word of God

and is called the ( mind of Christ) (1 Corinthian 2:16).

Doctrine communicates absolute truth and is designed

to become the measure or standard of your thinking.

The heavens declare the glory

of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.

Ps. 19:1

Study To Show Thyself Approved

After Salvation, What?

Your decision is the most important of your life.

at a moment in time you believed in Jesus Christ 

as your Savior, the perfect Person judged as a 

substitute for your sins. From that instant of faith

alone in Christ alone, you have eternal life and share

the destiny of Christ.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only

begotten [uniquely born] Son, that whoever believes

in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 3:16

We will  do a Doctrinal Bible Studies  of Books that will

give you knowledge of what after Salvation.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;

 knock and the door will be opened to you.

Matt. 7:7

Freedom

Peace And Survival of A Nation

Why are you free right now? Because well-trained, professional

soldiers killed the enemy on the battlefield in World War II and

Won The WAR!

Since then, our military has not been permitted to pursue the enemy

to a decisive victory in the battlefield. We are losing our freedom by

default. The lives of our own boys are being sacrificed rather than 

the lives of the enemy! Many of you may not like hearing that; but 

there is one thing you would hate more-- and that is Slavery! You 

are free, but you are free because freedom has been purchased with

death of the criminal within, and the death of the enemy without.That

course of action is based on Bible doctrine, and that is Christianity!

That is honoring to the Lord Jesus Christ! When there is subjectivity

in the law enforcement or in the military, the effectiveness of both is

neutralized. There is a rise in the crime rate and the possibility of

war.

A study of Nehemiah describes God's viewpoint concerning the nation

that will survive militarily by following God's plan and we will suffer

the consequences if we do not make some changes quickly!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own 

understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will

make your paths straight.

Prov. 3:5-6

Now In The Streets

Family

The family concept is right man and right woman functioning

in marriage and training children.  The  authority in the family

is invested in the parents. When a maximum number of children

reject the authority of their parents, then a situation develops such

as we have in our country today. We have youngsters on dope--a

rejection of authority; rioting in the high schools and colleges--a

 rejection of authority; criminals on the increase-- all rejecting

 authority! Do you know where it starts? in the family! It begins

with a rejection of the parents authority. That is why we have the

command, "Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may

 be long upon the land...." (Ex. 20:12). This is not only for the

individual, but is also a promise for the national entity. It says 

in fact that if children on a national scale are honoring their parents,

there will be stability in that nation.

(This Book was 1971 and revised 1973) 

Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His 

compassion's never fail. They are new every morning. Great is

His faithfulness.

(Lam. 3:22-23)

God"s Principles

Marriage

God has designed one man for one woman-- the right man--

right women concept. The  opportunity to find the right one

and to enjoy this wonderful relationship requires freedom

of volition. Where a maximum number of people in a national 

entity reject the right man--right woman principle, as well as its

proper framework--Divine Institution #2- degeneracy sets in and

that nation begins to decline. In our country today, with the rise of

permissiveness and promiscuity and all the rest of it, there has been

a rejection of God's principles.

The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will 

take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He 

will rejoice over you with singing.

Zeph. 3:17

Your Liberty

Volition

Free people have the liberty to make free-will decisions.

Of course, you cannot exercise your volition if you are a

slave; you must be free before your volition can function.

However, if you operate under divine principles, you make

decisions which perpetuate your freedom, and your volition.

"I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never go 

hungry, and He who believes in Me will never be thirsty."

John 6:35

Anti-God

Nationalism

Nationalism was set up  by God as a means of perpetuating

freedom. This means that internationalism, the United Nations

and Communism are all anti-God, anti-Bible and anti- nationalism.

The national entity must be preserved so that freedom in all other

areas can be maintained. God has laid down certain principles so that

each of these divine institutions can be perpetuated. Under Divine In-

stitution #4, there are two basic principles for its preservation: one is a

SPIRITUAL emphasis; the other is a MILITARY emphasis.

Do not be anxious about anything, but everything, by prayer and 

petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Phil. 4:6

Nation or Global

Freedom Through Military Victory

(Book My R.B. Thieme Jr)

God has set up certain laws for the maintenance and protection

of human freedoms. He has instituted certain principles which

must be obeyed if the human race is to survive. For instance, we

have the Ten Commandments, the "Magna Carta" of human freedom.

Although these Ten Commandments are not the Christian way of life,

they do provide principles of freedom for the protection of individuals

within a NATION operating under these principles. We also have the 

four divine institutions set up by God for the perpetuation of the human

race.

Since we are having debates about this country being  global and not a nation.

We need to see what God has to say about this in His Word. 

If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our

sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9

God's Plan

During the Millennium

The intensified part of the angelic conflict will be over.

"Operation Footstool" (the defeat of Satan and the fallen

angels), as a part of the angelic conflict, has been completed

(Heb. 1:13). Perfect environment on the earth will be possible

because there will be no angelic interference from Satan and

his demons.

Thus we see that the believer's orientation to God's timetable

is vitally necessary for understanding God's Plan and purpose

in any given generation. Dispensations provide the framework

for understanding the Bible and rightly dividing the Word of 

Truth.  Learn this lesson well, or you will always be vulnerable 

to the false teachings which arise from taking Scriptures out of

context!

The Lord your God is gracious and compassionate He will not

turn His face from you.

2 Chron. 30:9

Guardians

In The Age of The Church

Angels, for the first time in history, are the guardian-

servants of believers and also learn from them (1 Cor.

4:9; 1 Tim. 5:21; 1 Pet. 1:12). All believers are in full-

time Christian service as ambassadors for Jesus Christ.

Since Christ is in heaven, we are His representatives

here on earth. The emphasis is on the fact that by means

of the Church, angels are watching us and learning every

facet of God's Plan. This caught Satan completely off guard.  

Think about that : They see everything we say and do!

Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more,

the Lord will be your everlasting light and your days of sorrow

 will end.

Isa.60:20

Angels

In The Age 

Of the Jews, angels were used to communicate the Law and 

Bible doctrine. Every prophet in the Old Testament had a 

communicating or a teaching angel (Gal. 3:19). In the 

Tribulation, angels will proclaim the Gospel to the human 

race (Rev. 14:6). 

The Lord will keep you from all harm-- He will watch over your life;

the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and 

forevermore.

Ps. 121:7-8

Infiltrating

A Plan

At one point during the Age of the Gentiles, certain of the

fallen angels personally appeared on earth in an attempt to

destroy God's Plan  by infiltrating the human race. This 

relationship with human beings resulted in a "super race",

which was destroyed by God in the Flood (Gen. 6 ).

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He 

knows those who trust in Him.

Nah. 1:7

Under Wraps

The Purpose

Of keeping the Church Age doctrine a mystery? We must 

understand  that "principalities and powers in heavenly 

places" refer to the angelic creation. Although all Dispensations

are related to the angelic conflict, the Church was kept "under wraps"

before it became a reality as a protection against Satanic attack.

The book "Angelic Conflict"

Unseen conflict in which the forces of Satan are warring against forces

of God.

By R.B. Thieme 

He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.

Ps. 147:3

Fellowship

Ephesians 3:9, 10

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the 

mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath 

been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers

in heavenly places might be known by the church the 

manifold wisdom of God.

 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

John 8:32

Good News

The Church Age Revealed

Our first knowledge of the doctrines of the Church is stated in John,

Chapters 14 through 17, when Christ gave this information prop--

hetically. Now, "good news" or the Gospel itself is not a mystery: the

Gospel has always been clearly revealed and understood. Every reference
to the "mystery" is a declaration of Church doctrine on a confidential basis
for believers in this Dispensation (Rom. 16:25, 26; 1 Cor. 15:51; Eph. 1:9;
5:32; Col. 1:25, 26; 2:2; 1 Tim. 3:16; Rev.1:20).

From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing
after another.
John 1:16

The Church

The Old Testament Writers

From Genesis to Malachi did not know about the Church Age,

as the Church is never mentioned in the Old Testament. The only

two references in the Gospels are Matthew 18:17, where instructions

involve an assembly of believers, and in Matthew 16:18, where Christ

prophesied the future establishment of the Church, with Himself as the

foundation. Peter verifies this in 1 Peter 2:4-9,thereby disqualifying any

future clams that he founded the Church or was the first Pope!

The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
Ps. 145:14

The Mystery

Time 

Orientation demands that believers orient to the Didpensation

in which they live. In Ephesians, Chapter 3, Paul explains why

we must understand this portion of Gods revelation.

If  ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which

is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known

unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words. Whereby,

when ye read, Ye May Understand my knowledge in the mystery 

of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons

of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by

the Spirit (Eph. 3:2-5).

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously,

and He will give you everything you need.

Matt.6:33

By Faith

12. Salvation

As in every Dispensation, salvation will  be by faith 

in Jesus Christ. The Old Testament sacrifices will be

 resumed as a memorial to the grace of God.

Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding.

Prov.3:13

It Will Be Personally Authorized

11. Extended Life Span

(Isa. 65:20): Justice will be available to all, including 

immediate punishment for crimes (Psa, 72:2-9, Isa. 11:3-5). 

Apparently the only reason people will die in the Millennium

is the administration  of capital punishment, which will be

personally authorized by the Lord.

Having hope will give you courage. You will be protected and will

rest in safety.     Job. 11:18
