LORD Send Someone Else

Miracles happen. Blessings are given. People are healed. If we allow God to do so. Isn’t that a weird concept? The idea of limiting God in our own lives? Sure God can use us, He can use anyone, but we have to let Him use us. He’ll never force us to be used. If we don’t want to, He’ll find someone else. We can join the many people who have missed opportunities God has given us. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the possible missed blessings in his message ‘LORD, Send Someone Else.’

Exodus 3:11-12
Exodus 4:10-16
Isaiah 55:11
Esther 4:12-14

LORD Send Someone Else

LORD Send Someone Else: Missed Opportunities

 10 Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”

11 The LORD said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”

13 But Moses said, “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.”

14 Then the LORD’s anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and his heart will be glad when he sees you. 15 You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 16 He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.”

Exodus 4:10-16

Limiting God:

4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” 5 And He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. And He went about among the villages teaching.

Mark 6:4-6

Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Do you know where you will spend eternity? Are you prepared to stand before God and receive judgment? Whether it is a reward or a punishment, are you prepared? Does it even matter? Can a soul feel? It doesn’t have nerves, it doesn’t have flesh, so can a soul feel pain? Luke 16 answers this question in great detail. Luke records the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. The two die and their souls are sent to eternity. They both feel. They are both conscious of what’s going on. They are both very aware of their surroundings, yet they are in two different types of eternity.

Jesus gave us a little taste of what punishment would feel like through these scriptures. He gave us a little snippet of eternity. We were shown both a paradise and a torment if given the choice, which would you choose? If you could choose where to spend eternity, which destination would you pick? Rev. Kenny Yates opens our eyes to the realization that eternity could start as soon as tomorrow. So are you ready? Watch the video below, and you decide for yourself where you will spend eternity.

Romans 14:10,12
Hebrews 9:27b
Luke 16:19-31

Where Will You Spend Eternity?

27b It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment.

Hebrews 9:27b

31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And He will place the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left.

Matthew 25:31-33

The Trinity: The Father

The Trinity can be a confusing idea, yet an important one. It’s the core belief of all Christians. We believe God is made up of three separate entities: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. We believe in the Godhead, but do we understand what that means? Is it possible to explain The Trinity to non-believers? Can we even explain it to each other?

Who is the Father? Is He Yahweh? Is Yahweh the same as Allah? Who is Jehovah? ArieRashelle takes on the challenge to explain the Trinity by proving each member’s God status starting with The Father in this three-part series.

The Trinity: The Father

God The Father

Within the Trinity, there is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20

8 See that there be no one who shall lead *you* away as a prey through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the teaching of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and authority, 11 in whom also ye have been circumcised with circumcision not done by hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ; 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which ye have been also raised with [Him] through faith of the working of God who raised Him from among the dead.

Colossians 2:8-12

Some of the Father’s Roles in the Trinity

21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’

Matthew 7:21-22

49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has Himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.

John 12:49

More on The Fulfillment of The Kinsman Redeemer

31 Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Jeremiah 31:31-34

11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 He entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of His own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

15 Therefore He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. 16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.

Hebrews 9:11-16

19 And He took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.”

Luke 22:19-20

The Blood of Jesus

We know we need the Blood of Jesus, but what does that mean exactly? Why do we need the blood? What does the blood do for us? Can we be saved without the blood? Join ArieRashelle as she dissects the Bible to find the answers to all of these questions in our video, The Blood of Jesus.

The Blood of Jesus

7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 1:7

11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.

Ephesians 2:11-16

New Wineskins

Jesus said you can’t put new wine in old wineskins. But what was He talking about? What was Jesus trying to tell John’s Disciples? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he explains the message behind New Wineskins.

Hebrews 8:6-13
Matthew 11:10

Verses on New Wineskins

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17

15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

Galatians 6:15-16

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.

Ephesians 2:14-16

22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4:22-24

9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

Is Belief Enough Pt. 3: The Final Three

Jesus said that belief isn’t enough to save us. Why? Why isn’t belief enough? We need Forgiveness, Love, Righteous Humility, Purity, and Biblical Correctness. But is there still more? What are the final three steps? Join ArieRashelle in the final video, The Final Three, of our three-part series, Is Belief Enough?

Is Belief Enough?

46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, His mother and His brothers stood outside, asking to speak to Him. 48 But He replied to the man who told Him, ‘Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?’ 49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’

Matthew 12:46-50

If we want inheritance with Christ, then we have to be spiritually related to Christ. The only way to do that is to do the will of the Father. Belief isn’t enough on its own. Faith without action is dead. We have to have action behind our faith. Each of us has a specific calling, as well as an overall calling.

All of us are called to be fishers of men. We are to win souls. Why? Because that is the overall will of the Father.

16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.

John 3:16-17

God’s will is that none should perish but all come to repentance. That is the overall will of the Father. We are all called to win souls for Christ.

Is There More?: We Must Be Pure

If belief isn’t enough, what more is there?

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Matthew 5:8

9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 1:9-11

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Philippians 4:8

As the body of Christ, we must be pure. Pure in our actions, our thoughts, our speech. We must be pure.

Is There More?: We Must Be Biblically Correct

7 So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 8 If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, that person shall die in his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.

Ezekiel 33:7-9

In other words, you can’t be a Christian in speech only. You have to be a Christian in your actions. You have to correct sin, even if it offends. Look what God said about being a friend of the world.

4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”?

James 4:4-5

We can’t put the feelings of the world over or before the righteousness of God. God has to come first, or He is no longer your God. Whatever you put before God has taken His place in your life and has become your god.

Is Belief Enough Pt. 1: Are There Requirements To Enter Heaven?

I believe in God, but is that enough? Is believing that God exists enough, or is there another step? Can you enter Eternal Life simply by saying you believe, or are there some kind of requirements? Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” So what does that means? Join ArieRashelle as she uses Scripture to explain what Jesus meant in Matthew 7:21, in her video series Is Belief Enough?

Is Belief Enough?

The verse many people have as a defense for the way they live their lives is:

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

But is this really what Paul meant by this statement? Was he saying that works are unnecessary and pointless? Was he saying that it didn’t matter the way we lived our lives because we can’t save ourselves? Or was he saying that we can’t save ourselves, but once we are saved, we have to change, for there can be no unrighteousness with God?

Let’s take a look at what Jesus said during His earthly ministry.

14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 6:14-15

According to Jesus, belief isn’t enough. You have to forgive if you want to be forgiven.

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.

1 John 4:7-9

According to John, you have to have love in order to be a new creation in Christ Jesus. In order to keep your salvation, you must love.

He Promised You A Rose Garden

Others may not promise you a rose garden, but Jesus did. This is a promise of God. He promised the good and the bad so that you can grow. A rose can’t grow unless it rains every now and then. Neither can we grow without hardships every now and then. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he explains exactly what that rose garden will look like in his message, “He Promised You A Rose Garden.”

Ephesians 6: 1-4
Song of Solomon 2:1-3
Matthew 5:1

He Promised You A Rose Garden

1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
He
2 As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.
She
3 As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

Song of Solomon 2:1-3

God didn’t promise that it would always be sunshine, but He did promise you a rose garden. He promised that when rain and muck came, He would help you to grow.

1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Romans 5:1-5

This is a promise of God, that we might be strengthened and grow because of our struggles. Tribulation, pain, suffering, none of that will weaken us because when we are weak, then He is strong.
