Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Isaiah 58 Ministries June, 2014
Pastor: Leah Svensson
Scriptures: Acts chapter 19, 1 Timothy chapter 2 and chapter 4
Theme
I saw part of the TV show “House” the other day. A women instantly became sick after hearing some bad news. The doctor realized she wasn't really sick, even though she thought she was about to die.
He told her it was all in her mind. He dispelled the lie she believed that caused her to be sick with the truth. Then he said that our minds are very powerful. He said that everything that happens to the body has to go through the mind.
We need God to tell us why we were born. God has put a gift, a calling in everybody. It is as simple as sewing, cooking, working with wood or metal, building furniture, being a mother or father.
Sermon
"Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us"
How do you forgive others? Do you say and think, “That’s okay, go ahead and lie to Me.”, “That’s okay, go ahead and steal from Me?”, “That’s okay, go ahead and kill Me.”, “That’s okay, go ahead and covet what I have.” As a parent do you say, “That’s okay, go ahead and disrespect me.” As a spouse, "That’s okay go ahead and have an affair. I forgive you?"

| Satanism "Do as thou wilt" cult. |
What kind of world are we bringing our children up in? A world where it is okay for people to hurt others with no consequences for their actions? No. That's a criminal's dream society. That would mean as a society we care more about the violent criminal than we do the innocent victims. Making society a co-worker of crime, an accomplice, an enabler.
Jesus taught about the Good Samaritan, the Good neighbor restores and mends the one who was robbed and beaten. (So does an honest government.) Jesus did not side with the thieves and just forgive them who left the person in the ditch to die. So when we forgive- miracles should happen!

| God's forgiveness, his love, heals the bad guys steps 8 and 9 |
There are step involved to forgiveness. The Baptism of John, the baptism of water, is for those who repent, turn from sin and bring forth fruit, actions deeds, a heart that shows they are remorseful have turned away from the sin and turned to God. After Baptism you have to do steps 8 and 9 of the 12 steps in Alcoholics Anonymous. You have to confess, turn yourself in to the police if necessary, and make amends, ask for forgiveness, try and fix what you broke:
If someone has lied to you they have to tell the truth and fix whatever problem was caused by the lie. If someone stole something- they have to give it back and be put into a type of suspension, their life on hold, (usually jail), and cannot be freed until everyone is satisfied they will no longer steal. If someone killed someone- if there is no hope for their redemption- we must put them to death. If someone has had an affair they must stop seeing that person and prove they can be trusted again by their spouse over a long time- proving their sincerity to stay trust worthy and faithful.
If a Father or Mother has abandoned their spouse and children often, there is no forgiveness. They were not there when their spouse and children needed them. The family had to find another way of having the role of father or mother filled.
God puts his laws in our conscience then he gives us his spirit, his power to obey his laws. If we fail to follow God and his will which he has put in us, he will punish us by separating us from his presence- which is hell.
(God’s will; see below)
When a mind is filled with the knowledge of God it is peaceful, powerful, confident, full of love, full of hope, comforted, at rest, sound and whole.
When writing a will a person must acknowledge they are not being coerced and are in their “right minds” and their bodies are in good health.
I, ______________________________, resident in the City of ____________________, County of ____________________, State of ____________________, being of sound mind and disposing memory and not acting under duress or undue influence, and fully understanding the nature and extent of all my property and of this disposition thereof, do hereby make, publish, and declare this document to be my Last Will and Testament, and do hereby revoke any and all other wills and codicils heretofore made by me.

No one has written a will in sound mind and body at least since the 1930’s because the United States fell under a spell, an illusion, under criminals, men started to “make” money out of nothing, thin air.
America has been making these gods, dollar bills, in the trillions and worshiping these little pieces of paper that are man made ever since. Everything in America since the 1930’s has been built, made, done "out of thin air." The Hoover Dam, national parks, the interstate, McDonald's, GM, Sears, governments, public schools, etc.
Since the depression, some say since 1905, America has lost her ability to hear God, to hear his Word in us, the sound of his voice, the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Why? Men in Government Stopped obeying and upholding the Constitution. Men started to fear other men, they started worship themselves, doing things without God. Men thought they could live without the knowledge of God. God became obsolete, outdated.
The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution are of God, made by men who were of sound mind and body following the knowledge God had placed in them. Men following their conscience wrote both documents and they are the only “rightful” governing authority.
The truth is simple; “men” have been making their own laws and making a completely opposite government up No one in Washington D.C. is adhering to the Constitution. Not since the 14 th amendment saying that the Constitution is invalid and it no longer has any power. The 14 th amendment isn't an amendment because it’s very existence states the founding fathers had no right to write the constitution which gave government the right to write an amendment.

Forgiving as a Nation:

| Let us all pray together. |
Corruption: Dollar bills, non-human entities drawn on paper; corporation, man made things have “rights”
They have produced wealth out of nothing by printing paper when only a “corporation”,
non-human entity gets to borrow an enormous amount of this non-existent worthless paper. A loan for millions and billions of this paper goes to
non-human entities.
Men become slaves of “god’s- corporations” made up in the
minds of sinful men by using this made up paper. Now men must value and worship this piece
of paper as “having all power”, “all authority”. When a human being shows you this paper you have to give them something; a
hamburger, a tool, a house, a car, a service, etc. “It is self-evident” that it is just a
worthless little piece of paper. But
because of the 14th amendment stating that human beings do not have
the God given rights to govern themselves they must be governed by a few evil
men.
Evil people are making all people worship the gods they have made. The men
and women who control the “non-human” entities called The United States
Government, “corporations”, or organizations like the NAACP, NOW, ALCU, etc...
Electricity, telephone, car,
house, oil, gasoline, parts, food, everything.
So a few people controlling the non-human entities have all the wealth and the rest of America is enslaved or indebted to them for our very existence and right to live.
What’s so wrong or bad with that?

| Men become totally insane! |
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be
changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly
all experience hath shewn, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
than to right themselves
by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to
reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to
throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future
security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is
now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of
Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of
repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let
Facts be submitted to a candid world.
How to live without
being enslaved to man-made gods:
Cherish your freedom instead of your “man-made gods, things.”
Cherish your freedom instead of your “man-made gods, things.”
No electricity? No telephones? No appliances? No plastics? No gasoline? No oil?
God thought
of everything before he created mankind.
With “the knowledge of God”, your conscience:
All men are free,
All men are well off,
All men are independent of others
All men are well off,
All men are independent of others
God made Bread is free for everyone! It multiplies and pays for itself!
John Adams, George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock all had this freedom in mind for themselves and for all mankind when writing or signing or fighting for: The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution.
No corruption, No
corporations, No non-human entities having rights.
Nothing is above
the God given rights of the individual.
Everything is clean. The air, the earth, the water, and most importantly the souls of men.
The souls of men will be occupied with the will of God which
is for every man to provide for himself and not be dependent on others.
When working the land there is a lot less
time to imagine perverted things and little time to sin.

1 Timothy Chapter 2
Pray for
All People
1 First
of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and
thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for
kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly
and dignified in every way. 3 This
is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,4 who
desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For
there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus, 6 who
gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper
time. 7 For
this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am
not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8 I
desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without
anger or quarreling; 9 likewise
also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty
and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but
with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. 11 Let
a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I
do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she
is to remain quiet. 13 For
Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and
Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet
she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and
holiness, with self-control.
1 Timothy
Chapter 4
A Life
Pleasing to God
1 Finally,
then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you
received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are
doing, that you do so more and more. 2 For
you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your
sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to
control his own body in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust like the
Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that
no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an
avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned
you. 7 For
God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. 8 Therefore
whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
9 Now
concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you
yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, 10 for
that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But
we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, 11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own
affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before
outsiders and be dependent on no one.
The
Coming of the Lord
13 But
we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that
you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For
since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God
will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For
this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive,
who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have
fallen asleep. 16 For
the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice
of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet
of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are
left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in
the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another
with these words.
Acts chapter
19
11 And God was doing extraordinary
miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons
that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases
left them and the evil spirits came out of them.13 Then
some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord
Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom
Paul proclaims.” 14 Seven
sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. 15 But
the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are
you?” 16 And
the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them
and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and
wounded. 17 And
this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And
fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. 18 Also
many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their
practices.19 And
a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their
books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they
counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of
silver. 20 So
the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.
A Riot at
Ephesus
21 Now
after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and
Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see
Rome.” 22 And
having sent into Macedonia two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, he himself
stayed in Asia for a while.
23 About
that time there arose no little disturbance concerning the Way.24 For
a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis,
brought no little business to the craftsmen. 25 These
he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we have our
wealth. 26 And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in
almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people,
saying that gods made with hands are not gods. 27 And
there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but
also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing,
and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and
the world worship.”
28 When
they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, “Great is Artemis of the
Ephesians!” 29 So
the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the
theater, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul’s
companions in travel. 30 But
when Paul wished to go in among the crowd, the disciples would not let
him. 31 And
even some of the Asiarchs, who were friends of his, sent to him and were
urging him not to venture into the theater. 32 Now
some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and
most of them did not know why they had come together. 33 Some
of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander,
motioning with his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd. 34 But
when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all cried out
with one voice, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
35 And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky? 36 Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash. 37 For you have brought these men here who are neither sacrilegious nor blasphemers of our goddess. 38 If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.39 But if you seek anything further, it shall be settled in the regular assembly. 40 For we really are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion.” 41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
