Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

In preparation for the coming holiday season Pastor Landis Fisher has prepared a series of special messages, which will be taught during a pause in our routine session of teaching through the entire epistle to the Romans, which we have thus completed up to the twelfth chapter. This is the first lesson in our current new series for the upcoming holidays which our Pastor Landis Fisher is calling: “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”

Old Testament Scripture Reading: Psalms 1:1 – 6  (KJV)

Psa 1:1  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psa 1:2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Psa 1:5  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa 1:6  For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

New Testament Scripture Reading: Matthew 5:1 – 14  (KJV)

Mat 5:1  And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
Mat 5:2  And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Mat 5:3  Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:4  Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Mat 5:5  Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Mat 5:6  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Mat 5:7  Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Mat 5:8  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Mat 5:9  Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Mat 5:10  Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:11  Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mat 5:12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Mat 5:13  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Mat 5:14  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Transforming Power Statements:

1) Two opposing views divide the entire population of the world into one of two groups, and was caused to be this way due to the contamination of sin introduced by satan; and is driving the divide and all people fall into one category or the other, either by choice or default.

2) Ever since the first transgression, God chose to defend mankind and provided mercy and salvation by way of the priestly presentation of an acceptable sacrifice, which He made available so that the ones who choose His mercy can belong to the group known as the “Godly / righteous”, rather than the ones who choose any other means to handle their sin issue; thus becoming known as the “ungodly / wicked”.

3) Both the Psalmist King David, and Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Son of King David, according to the flesh, teach of the opposite nature of the ones who believe God and walk with Him according to His Word vs. the ones who deny God and walk according to the course of the world, the flesh and the devil.

4) The Church are the called out ones, who have been set apart by God to instruct the World in the Word, which is the absolute truth of God to make plain what God has said on every subject, and to reveal to the ones who have ears to hear all that the Spirit saith to the Churches, even though all this will be done against the world’s way, who will in turn persecute all who oppose them.
