Receiving Grace Ministries

Romans 4:16-17 KJV
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, [17] (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Note: Many have paraphrased the scripture above to say “ speak those things that are not as though they were “. By doing this many people have been misled into thinking they can speak things into existence. The truth is far from it; this scripture is actually talking about God calling things that are not as though they were. We all were dead in our sin but made alive through the word of God. We do not have the power to quicken the dead! This scripture is not giving us the power to speak nothing into something. Context matters my people, and when we read we can see it starts off talking about Abraham being the father of many nations, pointing to our salvation. This is why the scripture says " calleth and not speak. Because God called us out of darkness into his light. Again this scripture is not giving us some supernatural power, only God can create something out of nothing.

Romans 8:28 KJV
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Note: I just saw Kevonstage use this scripture and he totally misled people. His first mistake was that he only said all things will work for your good even the bad things. The truth is far from what he said but people will eat that up because it sounds encouraging. The most important part of this scripture is to them that loves God, why, because this scripture doesn’t apply to everyone. Now can I go a little deeper for the so-called Christians, because the part where it says that love God is the key to unlocking this blessing. The of God says this in John 14:15 ESV
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. Do you see that word if, that is important because if you don’t love God you won’t keep his commandments. When we keep/do God's word in our lives that is when all things will work for the believer's good. Be encouraged by keeping God’s commandments and watch your life be blessed.

So Jamal Bryant preached a sermon on the word "abracadabra." He went to his daughter's school where there was a magician. How many examples can one give to show y’all this man doesn’t serve God? Did the word of God tell us that we should not mix the holy with the unholy? I believe he told his congregation to say abracadabra and their bills will be gone. He tried to make the connection because of the meaning of this word. He doesn't care that the word itself is rooted in witchcraft. There are holy words and there are unholy words and it seems as if he doesn’t know the difference.

Matthew 19:3-6 ESV
And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?" [4] He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, [5] and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? [6] So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."

Note: I have been hearing people say things like, "The new reading of that scripture is this." There is no new reading of scripture my friend, what there are, are many interpretations. The Pharisees were men who studied the Torah but walked away with an understanding that satisfied their flesh. They felt that God permitted them to divorce their wives. Jesus corrected their understanding by giving them the Torah that they have been studying for many years. At times our interpretation of scriptures may change but the scriptures have never changed and there is no new reading of scriptures. The scriptures I place before you today many will use to justify getting a divorce as if God permitted them to do so. What we can read is God saying is “Let not man separate. Jesus goes on to tell them that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives because of their hearts. Their interpretation of what Moses had allowed was that they had the power to divorce their wives if they were not happy with her. So again Jesus had to correct their understanding. Jesus told them the only reason Moses gave was for fornication. Now please remember the men who are asking this question have studied the Torah and if we were to go back into the Torah we will find that the only way for a man to give back his wife is if he found her not to be a virgin. It doesn’t mean caught in adultery because she would not be a virgin
When that married her because she has been married before. Why do I make this point because of this so-called new reading of Scripture. The word fornication in the book of Matthew is a Greek word porneia which is connected to harlotry, adultery, and in**st. So by looking at the word porneia one could say If my wife cheated on me I can divorce her. But the truth is that person would be giving you a misinterpretation of Scripture. Jesus said Moses did this thing and the only way to understand it in proper contexts we must go back to the Torah back into the Hebrew language. If a man was to lie on the woman and say she was not a virgin and he was proven wrong he was taken to the gate of the city and stoned. Misusing God's word is not new to us mankind has been using his own interpretation from the start. This is why God’s word has told us that the natural man can not understand God’s word because it is spiritually understood.

John 14:8-9 KJV
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. [9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Note: There is a difference between what we see in the flesh and what we see in the spirit. Philip asked YESHUA to show them the Father, and Yeshua said unto him, "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." Philip was not asking to show the character or mannerisms of the Father, He wanted to see God, and he thought YESHUA had the power to show them YAHUAH. YESHUA said “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me “. Philip saw who was standing before him but could not understand this man being the Father. YESHUA said If you have seen me you have seen the Father. What Philip saw was the person named Jesus what he could not see is Jesus and the Father being the same person. Many people have that problem today. In the same book of John chapter 1 it says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. What it is not saying is that the Word was a personality of God, it says the Word was God, or the Father as Philip had asked to see. Many times we are only using our physical ability to see and we are missing what is happening right in front of us. Do we think YESHUA didn’t understand what Philip was asking? Isn’t this Jesus who knew the heart of man, so I present to you today YESHUA knew exactly what Philip was asking of him. Allow me if you would to go a little deeper. When Moses saw God or spoke with God it was a burning bush. The bush itself was not God but to Moses, he saw and spoke with God. Now what we see in the book of John the Word being God became flesh but the flesh was not God, he just utilized flesh for the task, almost the same way he utilized the bush. Did Moses walk away thinking or even asking the bush to show him the Father? No, because he saw beyond the burning bush and saw the Father. Philip was in the presence of God and never knew it because he was looking with the wrong set of eyes. Be careful not to miss out on things God may be showing you because you are unable to see the Truth, because you have been preconditioned.

God plan vs Your plan

07/20/2026

So it's this guy on Youtube name Corey who runs the Christian channel called Smart Guy or Smart Christian, or something like that. Anyways he was speaking down on this Pastor who was making a Statement by saying abortion is not the only policy we should be concentrating ourselves with as Christians. The Pastor brought up the point of caring for the Orphans and how some of the policies that are being passed are not taking care of the less fortunate. Corey came back and said God doesn't tell us to take care for them, where are their parents? He said this guy was preaching democrat policies. I find it funny that Corey at the same time is taking up for republican policies. The pot calling the kettle black. Did it not say in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 14 that the tithes were to feed the fatherless? Did not the Bible tell us that those who abuse the poor or helpless were wicked in the book of Ezekiel Chapter 22? According to Corey none of this is in the Bible. Did not Jesus say that the things we do to least of them we have done it to him? I am not saying our Goverment should be a Christian government, what I am saying is we should vote for the person who values God’s word. I am going to speak on more the issue later but with more Bible.

Matthew 25:46 KJV
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Note: Yeshua made this statement talking about what we call the end times. How you live your life and how you care for others matter. When it’s your job to care for the least of them, but you would rather take from the least and give it to the people who have the most, according to scripture, you are a goat. Yeshua said to the goat Matthew 25:42-43 KJV
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: [43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. It’s not hard to see who are the righteous by how they treat the disadvantaged. I heard Brian Carn talk about this Bishop like a dog because he was an Uber driver. As if this man's profession had anything to do with this man's relationship with YAH. We see politicians who serve the rich and take from the poor and they love to kill the innocent in war and call it just. As we can see in the end of it all we all will be judged by our deeds. I know seeing the wickedness in this world can be disheartened but rest assured that in the end we win!

2 Thessalonians 3:8-12 KJV
Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: [9] Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. [10] For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. [11] For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. [12] Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Note: Why do we think now as Ministers of the Gospel that we should live off the people? Are we better than the actual disciples of Christ? I would love for each of you to take notice of what was said when they said they worked for their living and did not live off of the people. Do you understand what they meant when they said we might not be chargeable to any of you? Then they gave instructions on how to deal with one who did not want to work. They heard that some among them did not work but lived off the people, and that they were to have no dealing with such a one. As a whole, we have embraced these men who live off the body of Christ. We set them up in big houses and give them huge salaries so that they may provide for their families. Meanwhile, you are living in an apartment and working every day so that your family can have food and shelter. I have gotten into many conversations with these devils and many of them will say I make my own money but if we were to take a closer look we would find that they just made more money off the money you have given them. Did not the Bible tell us that we should not sell the Gospel? What if Jesus charged a fee for him to give us God’s word, some of these devil’s speaking fees are over 15,000$. Did not God place that word inside of you without cost? So how can they then charge his body for a word that God didn't make you pay for? Sound doctrine will always destroy the work of the enemies.

Ezekiel 33:7-8 KJV
So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. [8] When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Note: Be careful of men who speak with a forked tongue. I just heard a sermon from Bishop McClendon and he said God did not give anyone a calling to call out the wrongdoing of a Pastor. The first thing we must understand is that just because a man or woman stands behind a pulpit doesn't make them a minister of God. Did not God warn us that Satan has ministers who are standing behind that pulpit ( 2 Corinthian 11:14-15 ). The truth is what ELOYIYM have said according to his word. So let us look at the word of God to see if this man statement is true or is he trying to manipulate God’s people so that his sins may stay hidden.

 Galatians 1:6-8 KJV
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: [7] Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. So these scriptures let’s us know that there will be people who will stand behind that pulpit to pervert the Gospel. Now when the watchman sees this what is his job? 1 Timothy 5:20 KJV
Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. I don’t see where it says except if the sin is coming from a pastor. This is what wicked man do, they cover their sins by acting as if the word of God doesn't apply to them because they have a special standing with God. I pray McClendon repent from his wicked ways.
