MATTHEW 15:1-20 – LESSON 5

TRADITIONS OF THE CHURCH – PART 2

In Matthew 15:3 and 9 Jesus is telling us that we sin against God when we place religious tradition above the written word of God. The church makes doctrine of these manmade traditions thereby creating heresy that is taught to its followers. We will touch briefly on just a few of these errors.

1. Mary is the mother of God: False. Mary was the mother of the man Jesus, the physical incarnation of the eternal God in the form like Adam. God (Jesus) existed before Mary, or the world was made.

2. Mary remained a virgin all her life: False. She had numerous children by her husband Joseph. Four of her sons were named in two different accounts of the gospel, plus daughters.

3. The Assumption of Mary: False. This doctrine introduced by Pope Pious XII in 1950 says Mary did not die a natural death but was taken up by translation (assumption or taken alive from the physical realm to the spiritual realm of heaven) much like Enoch and Elijah

4. Jesus was born on December 25: False. We will write on that as Christmas approaches.

5. Good Friday is when Jesus was crucified: False. We will dispel this myth as Easter approaches.

6. Three Kings of the East visited baby Jesus when he was in the manger: False. We will also dispel this tradition near Christmas.

7. Mary is Queen of the Universe: False. This heresy puts the Virgin Mary above God the Father and God the Son in authority over them and all creation.

8. Jesus was previously the archangel Michael: False. Yeshuah (Jesus) has always been eternally with his heavenly Father and never has been an angel. The earth was formed by his spoken word. Michael is still an archangel.

9. Christian water baptism saves the soul: False. Baptism is an outward public testimony of salvation, not the actual conversion.

10. Bowing to an image to pray: False. It is a violation of the second commandment (Exodus 20:4) if you bow to an image of Virgin Mary, a venerated Saint, or even an image of Jesus on the cross (He is no longer on the cross, but on heaven’s throne). We are to make NO image or even a “likeness” of anything to bow down before. (Ex. 20:5.)

There are too many examples to cover all of them today. However, these fall into two basic categories: The first category is misinformation. It is considered to be error rather than heresy. This would apply to the examples relating to Christmas and Easter traditions. The second category is far more serious. This category is outright heresy. It applies to the other examples I spoke about relating to Mary, Michael, and baptism. Churches that teach these things should be considered as an apostate church or a false cult.

Unless you know your bible, you could easily be pulled into such a church. That is why the psalmist wrote in Psalm 119:11, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, (so) that I might not sin against Thee.”

Disclaimer: Spirit of Life Ministries is not saying that any person that may attend a church that teaches false doctrine is a heretic. We are simply teaching what heresy is taught by their church. If you are such a person that attends one of these churches that teach false doctrine, know that we love you and pray only that you are informed of the truth.

THE VALUE OF A SOUL

I saw two homeless people today. One was standing on a curb in the middle of traffic asking for money. The other one was at a local mission opening a refrigerator looking for something to eat. There wasn’t much in that refrigerator, so I am sure he walked away without his need being met. He never asked for anything. Both men were in need. One was very clean, looking like he had just taken a shower. The other was dirty, looking like it had been a while since he had taken a shower. Both men were in need.

I don’t know the true circumstances of either of these men, but they needed help. Perhaps the best thing would have been to have bought both of them a meal, but that would only be a temporary fix. They needed more than that. The old saying you can give a man a fish, but if you teach him to fish it will be the better for the man.

In this day and age there are many that are suffering financially because of many reasons. Some lost jobs because the businesses they worked for closed, leaving them without any way to make a living. There are countless people out of work and there will be many more that refuse to take the vaccination and will lose their jobs. They will need help too.

We live on a very fixed income, so we are careful where we sow our money, but we have given food and clothing to hundreds of people over the years. Some never thanked us, but we gave it to them as unto the Lord because he cares about their soul. It didn’t matter whether they were thankful or not. It was between them and God.

The early church in the book of Acts was very concerned about those that went without. Deacons were raised up to take care of widows and orphans, because there was value in their souls. The early believers came together with what they had, and the church had no lack. There was no welfare program like the socialist government wants for America. The bible clearly states that if you don’t work you don’t eat. Those that needed help received it because there was a value in their souls.

Have you ever considered the value of a soul? The value is quite high. It is worth every drop of blood that Jesus shed for that person. He did it willingly because he saw the value and fulfilled his purpose in doing so. I wonder what would happen if the present-day church would see the value of souls and pool their resources to win the lost and feed those that lack. Would that be the sign of true revival? It was in the Book of Acts. They added daily to the church, and it flourished. Perhaps the reason for the lack in our country is so the church will see the value of souls and step up to the plate once again and be what the church is to be. A place for sinners that need help. There is value in that one lost soul my friends. Ask Jesus the value and He will take you to the cross. There you will see the kind of servant’s heart that it will take in the days we are coming into. No lack – just love for the value of a soul.

PROPHETIC WORD FROM THE LORD

For I would say that the waiting period is over. You are in the delivery room my child and are about to birth what you have been long awaiting. The pain will come because of the necessity it brings to the delivery. The pain comes because it is birthing something new. Do not focus on the pain, for the end result will be well worth the pain. I am bringing and birthing a new thing in your life. I shall go before you and make a way for the delivery to be all that you have desired, for I have found you faithful. Yes, there have been many trials and many fires in the furnace of affliction, but I have tested and proved you and found you faithful. This is the hour to push through. Oh yes, the labor has been long and hard, but there must be a push to bring forth the desired birth. Do not hesitate to call upon me for I will be there to bring forth the delivery. It has been a season of waiting for you, but it had to come to bring the perfected vision to birth. It could not be hurried just as a woman must not hurry the process of delivering a child before its time. Many have done that, and their vision was stillborn. You have waited and you have been found faithful, So, know that the birthing is at hand, and you shall see a mighty work come into your life. There will be many that will be touched through this birthing because it is not only for you, it is for others also. Just as Mary held me in the womb and brought forth my birth, it was not for her alone, but it was for the world. You shall see much fruit also from your birthing of this new work. So, trust me in this hour, push and be confident that I am bringing this to pass saith the Lord.

God still speaks through his prophets.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

Did you know that IMPOSSIBILITIES are what DREAMS are made of? In all reality all you’d need to see a prospect of such; Is for you to watch closely and most anytime you’ll see someone actually facing a real life IMPOSSIBILITY. In fact, an IMPOSSIBILITY is actually a breeding ground for a MIRACLE. Oh you don't believe in miracles you say?? Well, you certainly will IF you ever really NEED one. Matthew 15 tells us of a woman who was facing an absolutely IMPOSSIBLE situation. Her daughter was sick & dying & to make bad matters worse when she came to Jesus for help, the Bible says, "He answered her not a word". Have you ever felt like Jesus was ignoring you in your most desperate hour? If so, then be like that mother & have persistent FAITH; For when Jesus saw her FAITH as well as He felt her FAITH...He could no longer turn her away. WHY? Because she had real FAITH...And I’m talking about a FAITH that won’t give up & won’t back down but pushes through to victory. After all that’s the only kind of faith that’ll move God every time. Now notice with me if you will; It was not her NEED that moved our Lord...NO... It was her FAITH. In fact, Jesus called her a woman of GREAT FAITH. There’s a couple of interesting things for you to consider when it comes to receiving a REAL MIRACLE. The truth of the matter is that GOD only does the IMPOSSIBLE for those who are WILLING to CHANGE & to take a RISK. So if you find yourself needing God to show up & do the IMPOSSIBLE in your life...Then you must allow Him to expand your FAITH. It’s at this point in time that you best get ready to be radically RISKY; As you take that DESPERATE plunge into your very own IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. It could be that God has been waiting on you to ACTIVATE your FAITH as you ASK, BELIEVE & then get READY for your IMPOSSIBLE to become a REALITY. Yes, there’s a MIRACLE in the making & guess what?? It could be YOURS...IF you BELIEVE. So come on & radically BELIEVE for the IMPOSSIBLE to get over into the realm of the POSSIBLE. Now...Are you READY for a MIRACLE? God bless you as you BELIEVE; And as you daily walk in the God kind of FAITH...For it’ll always produce a real bonafide MIRACLE just for you.
