What a “just man” is according to the New Testament?

2012-01-30T15:09:00.001-05:00

A just man is a man who has stopped all rebellion against God. Every sin is forgiven and the heart of a just man is made holy. A just man is without sin and obedient to God. In a state of justification there is no condemnation from God because sin and disobedience is gone. The heart and life is made right because of what Christ did for you at Calvary. Your righteousness comes from the work of Christ not from your own human works. The conscience of a just man is freed from guilt by the power of a living Christ. The heart, the walk, and the life of a justified believer is in harmony with God through faith in Christ. Faith in Christ gives man access to the Grace of God that makes man a new creation and justifies the sinner….according to God’s workmanship. A justified man is no longer a criminal in the eyes of God (unless he commits another crime).

In Justification by Grace the believer’s sin and rebellion against God has ceased. A believer is not a lawbreaker. No longer does man violate God’s Law. The Holy spirit gives a just man the desire to cease from sin. The Holy Spirit gives the just man a new nature. A moral change comes over the human soul by the power of God’s Divine Grace. A just man was tired of the old life in repentance. Then Grace comes in and a just man now has realization that only Christ offers this “new and better” life. A justified state by God’s Grace could not be found or obtained by any other means known to man outside of Christ.

Some may find it hard to believe but sin is not essential to the life of a child of God nor does the Bible condone sin. Holiness of heart is the sacred theme of the Bible and is found in Christ. Holiness is essential to the life of a child of God. Rebellion does fit into the life of a child of God and separates man from God’s Grace. Disobedience is not a product of God’s Grace but a sin of unbelief.

A justified life is the down payment to a life with Christ. After Justification, the Spirit of God can can take full possession of you. When you find forgiveness and true holiness that comes from a state of Justification by Grace… Then, you can also find deliverance from the Adamic life that still wars in your members. The Adamic life (self) not the act of sin but the very root of sin that tries to have dominion in your justified life…God can rid man of that also. How? By Sanctification that also comes from the Grace of God.

Justification is the down payment of the Spirit’s work in Salvation. Sanctification is the final work of Holy Spirit (after Justification)on this side of Heaven. A just man is a man who has stopped all rebellion against God. Every sin is forgiven and the heart of a just man is made holy. A just man is without sin and obedient to God. God is a justifier of men but when men are justified they’re supposed to walk according to the Law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus. A justified man is not a lawbreaker or a violator. A justified man has God given power to “mind the Spirit”.

The Gospels were teachings under the Law of Moses...Hubert T. Lindsey

2012-01-25T15:26:00.002-05:00

In this modern era and modern religious world it is hard to find any one who teaches the truth of the four Gospels as a teaching primarily under the Law of Moses. At this Blog dedicated to rightly dividing God's Word we focus on these great Bible Truth. Brother Lindsey does a great job clarifying such teachings.

Capital Punishment according to the Bible

2012-01-17T18:43:00.003-05:00

Capital Punishment is ordained of God and Scripturally in line. The Law of Moses demanded capital punishment. Capital Punishment is also taught in the New Testament records.

We are the body of Christ

2012-01-14T08:36:00.001-05:00

At the passover supper Jesus took the unleavened bread, blessed it, broke it and then gave it...and said this is my body.

Since then, as we are the body of Christ.
Jesus takes us in His arms when He saves us...
He blesses us with His Holy Spirit...
He breaks us when we get to the cross and believe...
He gives us for the work of the ministry...

The descension of Christ…to the lower parts of the Earth

2012-01-13T11:36:00.002-05:00

Eph 4:9-10…(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended

Love for fallen man is why Christ came down from His Heavenly position to become a mere man. God intended for Christ to become a man with flesh and blood like you and I. In God’s plan of redemption for fallen man Christ descended to earth and stepped down from His Heavenly Throne in Eternity. Jesus stepped out His Eternal mansion above, and by the Spirit was conceived in a virgin, and born of a woman during the Law of Moses. In conception He was born of Mary in Bethlehem where and for 33 years he encountered the worst conditions any human being could encounter in life. When Jesus descended…

1. He was born in a barren land
2. He was born to an enslaved people (Israel)
3. He was born in a manger
4. He caught a fish to pay taxes
5. He was a man of no reputation (33 yrs.)
6. He lived a lonesome life
7. He was a man of sorrow
8. His Apostles forsook Him at the trial
9. He died alone at Calvary
10. The father turned His back on Him when He hung on the cross
11. He died as a criminal
12. He died as a slave
13. He died a hideous death of crucifixion

Eph 4:9-10…(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended

This descension…where God was clothed with humanity is termed as “kenosis” in the Greek Text. Many pagan and heathen nations did not recognize Christ as being a man. They had to believe He was God because of the miracles He did…but back then they denied his humanity. Today they humanize Him and denounce His deity. The Gnostics denied the humanity of Christ and twisted the concept that God took upon Himself human flesh. In the death of the Saviour on the cross we read these words in the Bible, “It pleased the Father to bruise Him”…In Christ’s descension we see “love for humanity” and “love for fallen man”…The Romans were not the blame for killing Him…The Jews were not the blame for killing Him…Isaiah the Prophet said, “It pleased the Lord to bruise Him”…

Sin Rules Them

2012-01-11T20:42:00.001-05:00

This small segment from an Original Churches on Trial radio braodcast magnifies Christ in the highest. Brother Lindsey describes how sin rules a weak man and the Spirit rules a strong man. Profound teaching!

The Adamic Nature and Justification

2012-01-07T13:17:00.001-05:00

Justification/the new birth makes man an over-comer of the Adamic Nature on the inside; and an over-comer of temptation on the outside.

Justification channels God's Grace into the heart of a believer. The heart of a believer is made clean and holy.

Justification enables the believer in Christ to have victory over the Adamic Nature. How? The empowerment of God's Grace is greater than the inherited carnal nature. The divine nature is not equal to the carnal nature but greater according to God. God's Word confirms such truth in Saint John's Epistle...greater is He in you, than he that's in the world. Peter also confirmed such truth in his Second Epistle in chapter 1 stating how man escapes the corruption in the world when he is made a partaker of the divine nature.

Justification by Grace converts sinful men and makes them, over-comers to the Adamic Nature. Justification empowers the believer with enough of Christ to over-come temptations that are encountered in life.

Justification rids man from the guilt of the past and brings holiness into the human soul.

Justification makes the believer in Christ (not the sinner) eligible to be sanctified from the conflict caused from the still existing Adamic Nature. Sanctification rids man from the Adamic Nature.

Ephesians 4:22 - Put Off the Old Man (part 3 of 3)...Hubert T. Lindsey

2012-01-04T06:37:00.000-05:00

...Remember the context of the Ephesian Letter... "putting off the Old man relates to a saved man"... not a sinner. Enjoy this conclusion of three parts about "putting off the Old man" which is a subject expounded on by Brother Lindsey that's not taught on much today.

Ephesians 4:22 - Put Off the Old Man (part 2 of 3)...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-12-29T10:30:00.000-05:00

Putting of the Old Man is a subject in the Bible that many people don't fully understand in a fast paced world of religion, philosophy, and human interest. The fact of the matter is Paul is addressing "saints" and not sinners at the church at Ephesus. Putting off the Old Man is a death/crucifixion of self that a saint can experience. Death to self is revealed to a saint of God by the Holy Spirit "after" Salvation takes place. Interesting subject matter and a blessing to your life as a child of God. May these teachings by Brother Hubert Lindsey bless your life, your ministry, your marriage, and your personal walk with Christ. God put it on Hubert Lindsey's heart to preach, and now these preserved messages are being publicized around the globe by the operation of God for edification in the body of Christ. Enjoy part 2 of 3 parts.

Ephesians 4:22...Put Off the Old Man (part 1 of 3)...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-12-27T06:43:00.000-05:00

This excellent 30 minute teaching series from the Bible shows "how", "when", and "why", Putting off the Old Man takes place. Brother Lindsey was not only a teacher of the Bible but also a minister of the Holy Spirit. May this teaching bless you life in Christ and understanding of God's Word.

Holiday Greetings to our good Brothers and Sisters in Israel

2011-12-20T19:56:00.000-05:00

I've noticed some of our viewers are coming over from Israel. G_d bless you all. Our teaching of the Gospel is based on the Jewish persective of G_d's Word. Please review some of our older posts and labels in the sidebar for excellent Bible teachings. The Gospel we preach is to be declared to the Jew first and also to the Gentile. Thanks be to Yeshua who has torn down the middle wall of partition between both and Jew and Gentile...thus making us both one in Yeshua.

Peace be with you all. We love you.

All it takes is, “You and Him”

2011-12-13T11:20:00.000-05:00

Christ’s mercy constantly reaches out as a result of His death and resurrection. Salvation and forgiveness for all sins of the past are between you and Christ. Christ’s presence, Christ’s authority, and Christ’s power is extended to those who recognize Who He is. Jesus is the Christ. The anointed one who came. The one who was promised and recorded in Old Testament records. The only Prophet of God who died and rose from the grave.

Christ is Khristos in Greek
Christ Christus in Latin
Christ is the English translation of the anointed one

You can take Christ out of Christmas…but you can’t take Christ out of existence.

Christ’s presence is now…everywhere. It doesn’t take two or more to reach Him. All it takes is, “You and Him”. Christ recognizes those who come to Him to find mercy and forgiveness. Christ is not partial He takes people as they are. He can forgive the worst criminal, “right on the spot”…and change that man’s life forever. Why? Because He is Jesus the Christ.

Don’t need three or more people. All it takes is “you and Him”…Christ is in the midst…Now. Christ is omnipresent. In a glimpse people can recognize who Christ is. In a glimpse Christ can forgive a believer for every sin committed in the past, right on the spot. Christ is the reason for Salvation and forgiveness.

Though this man (Christ) is preached the forgiveness of sins. No other man in the in the history of humanity had or could offer fallen man redemption, forgiveness, or Salvation to the human soul.

I speak of Christ who is omnipresent, who hears the prayer of repentance from the sinner. I speak of Christ who heals the sick. I speak of Christ who is alive now and everywhere present. I speak of Christ who sent His Holy Spirit to regenerate fallen man. Doesn’t take two or three to find Him. All it takes is you and Him.

Today…Under Grace…because of the Church, God’s Spiritual and universal body… anyone can tap in to the the presence of Christ. All they have to do is “believe in Christ”…who He is, what He did, and/or what He’s doing now, in the present tense. Doesn’t take two or three to find Him. All it takes is you and Him. Belief in Christ brings the Christian experience of Salvation, a clean heart, and a life of right living. Every sin is forgiven and you know it.

All it takes is you and Him.

The Virgin Mary

2011-12-08T14:10:00.002-05:00

The Mother of Christ. A virgin woman chosen of God to bear the son of God, Jesus Christ. Like every member of the human family Mary, the mother of Christ was born in sin and shapen in inquity. God chose Mary to enter the race of fallen man through a mere human being that needed a Savior like every other human being in existence. Mary is in Heaven today because she needed a Savior just like all humanity needs a Savior.

In the narrative of Saint Luke 1:46,47 we find the words of Mary recited as follows, "My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior"...It was not human merit or personal holiness that qualified Mary, the mother of Jesus. It was God's Divinity that placed His seed into the womb of a virgin member of this fallen race to beget His Son, Jesus by the life of God within that woman. Through that incarnation and death on the cross every fallen member of the human family may find a way to be raised by God through the same Spirit of Holiness. A Spirit of Holiness that raised Christ from the grave and placed the Divine seed into the womb of the Virgin Mary.

Biblical fact regarding communication with the dead...

2011-11-23T13:29:00.001-05:00

Duet. 18: 10-12…There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:

Communicating or consulting with Spirit’s outside of God Himself is the sin of necromancy. Necromancy is a claimed form of magic that involves communication with the deceased.

There are modern trends, certain movements, and various religious concepts around the globe that allow communication with the dead.

This very dangereous and mystical form of enchantment goes on around the globe in this modern era. It takes people away from the truth about man’s personal relationship with God through Christ and gives a false impression and false hope.

Communication with God is simply talking to God or making your requests known to God, prayerfully. A clean heart that comes from Christ is the element that connects man spiritually and permits communication with God.

The way of Cain...

2011-11-16T20:57:00.000-05:00

We all recognize Adam and Eve and the Fall of man in the Garden of Eden. What about Cain who killed his brother Abel? Cain violated life, nature, and God with the murder of his dear brother Abel...without human example. Notice the way of Cain? Let's compare Cain's human religious works (without a cry for mercy) with Abel's offering of sacrifice unto God.

Gen. 4: 2-4...Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

While Abel obeyed God...Cain disobeyed God and missed God's Divine favor. Cain was without confession or the witness of righteousness in his heart.

Heb. 11:4...By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous,

Gen. 4:5...But unto Cain and to his offering he (God) had not respect.

"The way of Cain consisted of self made human religious worship".

1 John 3:12...Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one,

The wicked one was Cain's inherited propensity of sin. Simply termed as the, "Adamic Nature" that has tainted the human family since the Transgression of Adam.

Perhaps someone has departed from the faith of their believing parents. Abel didn't depart from the faith, but Cain did. Cain was a defiant and open sinner against the God of Creation. Cain was the first child of the fallen race, after the Fall of Adam. Cain had no experiential background in sin or disobedience to God. Cain was the first Biblical example of an unbeliever. The way of Cain was blind to the Devil's deception upon his mother, Eve. Cain heard from God directly and knew God...yet Cain still left the presence of God. Cain's ways were evil, defiant, and godless. Unlike Abel, Cain rejected what God wanted from him concerning religious worship. Cain turned against the God of all Creation.

Gen 4:16...and Cain went out from the presence of the LORD

Let's examine to the way of Cain in light of the present human family. Compare humanity and the unbelieving world today, with the self made human religious ways of Cain. If we have eyes to see we can clearly see that our modern religious world has drifted into the way of Cain. The ways of Cain have become a beacon in the life of society. Those who say God is about love and not about Judgment have gone in the way of Cain. Those who substitute religious works and religious ceremony for the death and resurrection of Saviour have gone the way of Cain. Those who substitute philosophy for Divine Revelation have gone the way of Cain. Society is elevated with the nature and ways of Cain. Cain is in the business world. Cain is in the workplace. Cain is in our educational systems. Cain has subtly formed in the Religious world.

Jude 1:11...Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain,

Someday Cain and those who have gone the way of Cain will be in the lake of fire...

"There is only one way out of the ways of Cain. That is finding the person of Christ; finding personal forgiveness through Christ's shed blood at Calvary; obtaining a righteous witness in your heart; and going through life God's way".

A life of "certainty" and "trust" in Christ is a better life

2011-11-15T14:16:00.000-05:00

The reason the Christian life is a better life is because you have Christ taking care of, "you". You are certain in your heart because Christ directs your steps and gives you peace about your actions and conduct. You are certain in your heart with joy and gladness because theWord of Truth from the Bible is confirmed in your life. The clear conscience by the Grace of God builds thisconfidence in Christ. No more condemnation from sin. No more agony of living a double life or living a life right in your own eyes. The heart is made holy, clean, and washed by your personal faith in what Christ did on the cross of Calvary. His power and character comes into your soul by faith and trust. By staying on God's side of life (right in His eyes) you can be happy and contented with a contentment the world can never offer. You are blessed and happy because of Christ. The Spirit of God is united with your spirit and you are happy in Jesus. A happiness never known before in life that comes from clean Christian living. This life that is a better life comes from the person of Christ. It is a better life because God takes those who were lost and without hope and gives them hope and security. What a fellowship! What a joy! He has made me glad and happy! He has blessed this writer; this writer's marriage: and this writer's ministry. Makes me want to go and have a picnic!

The Spirit’s baptism…a baptism that saves the believer in Christ from the Judgment of God

2011-11-14T10:48:00.001-05:00

The picture is Noah, His preaching for 120 years, and the eight souls that got in the Ark.

1 Peter 3:20…eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us

The waters of the flood came upon the earth…God’s Judgment and Wrath took the lives of every living thing…but eight souls were saved in the Ark…by water. They were saved from the Judgment of an angry God. They got in the Ark. They obeyed the Gospel. They lived according to God in the Spirit.

1 Peter 4:6…For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

The like figure is the Spirit’s Baptism that puts the believer into Christ and His body. It’s the Spirit’s baptism that saves us from God’s future Judgment. After hearing the Gospel, we repent and trust Christ for personal forgiveness. We get put into (baptized into) Christ by the Spirit of God which is a like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us. When we are in Christ we are saved from Wrath like Noah and his family were, when they were put in the Ark by the Spirit of God.

Gen. 7:16-17…And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

In the New Testament the Spirit’s baptism into Christ is a likefigure to how God put Noah and his family into the Ark and saved them from the Judgment to come. In the New Testament Jesus is the Ark. Glory!

Three types of people and three types of struggle

2011-11-12T21:08:00.002-05:00

1. The sinner...without Christ; disobedient; in total rebellion to the presence of God; out of harmony.

2. The believer in Christ...forgiven, back into sin, forgiven, back into sin...etc. Without victory; has an inner conflict between the divine nature and the carnal. A civil war is in his members. Doubt interferes with his faith. He's up and down, in and out, back and forth, wants salvation, and wants the world. He struggles with his relationship with God. Worldly sorrow, not godly sorrow from wrongdoing. Double minded and unstable. Easy prey to temptation. Out of harmony. Uncontrolled by the Spirit.

3. The believer in Christ...repentant, forgiven, God conscious, morally obligated, obedient to God, holiness of character, strong in faith, victorious over the world, flesh, and the Devil; Sold on the Christian experience; Avoids or overcomes situations that can quench or grieve the Holy Spirit. Not easy prey to temptation. Avoids ungodliness. Obedient to the presence of God. In harmony with God. Controlled by the Holy Spirit. Single-minded and stable.

Three types of struggle...

1. What man can do to obtain salvation, works, human effort, not trusting God's divine Grace
2. Inner conflict, war in the members, conflict between the flesh and the Spirit
3. World pressures, weights, problems of life…outer circumstances

To our Christian Brethren around the Globe...

2011-11-10T10:16:00.001-05:00

The Bible teaches us we can live holy and have a clean heart because Christ changes the heart of man with His saving Grace.

"If" we sin we have and Advocate (Jesus) with the Father. We can confess our sins to Him. He will cleanse and forgive...and restore us to rightstanding with God.

The Bible teaches us to turn from sin and to accept Christ. This is repentance that comes "before" we accept Christ...not afterwards.

Christians do not pray to those who are dead. Christians pray to the living God who hears and answers our prayers. Neocramancy is communication with the dead. Neocramancy is a sin against God according to the Bible.

There is liberty in the Spirit of God. Grace gives...the Law demands.

Enjoy your walk with Christ. Do it in the Spirit...not in the flesh. Glorify Him in body and Spirit. You're His.

Thanks for stopping by.

The Bride and the Bridegroom

2011-11-02T09:19:00.002-04:00

The Bride...which is the Church (universal) consists of the spiritual body of Christ where all Christians are members of Gods universal body of believers. The Bridegroom is the enthroned Christ in Heaven that awaits the Rapture (or the calling out of the Church to escape Great Tribulation) that is promised to come upon the unsaved world in these latter days. The Raptures calling out of the Church is Gods final Judgment for all members of the Church Universal to escape Tribulation and Wrath promised to come upon the Earth (predicted in the book of Revelation). The event of the Rapture will take place seven years before Christs (the Bridegrooms) return in Divine Judgment to set up His promised Kingdom in Israel Matt. 25:1.

During the Rapture of the Church, (the Bride which consists of all the called out members of Christs body) meet the Bridegroom (Christ) in the air to escape Gods prophetic Judgment to come upon the Earth. Together, a union is made between "Christ and all" believers who have either passed to the grave; or are presently alive in Christ. In the Rapture of the Church, a resurrection of the dead; and a glorification of those who are alive in Christ will take place! This complete group of called out believers will ascend to Heaven; unite with Christ; and remain with an enthroned Christ, for the period of seven years. Together in Heaven, a Marriage takes...between the Bride and Bridegroom.

At the end of the seven year Tribulation a celebration takes place in Heaven called the Marriage Supper, Rev. 19:9...Christ (the Bridegroom) and all the saints in Heaven (the Bride...prepare to return to Earth to set up the Promised Kingdom of Heaven in Jerusalem. At the beginning of this 1000 year reign God will renovate the Earth with fire. Christ will then return in vengeance to bring wrath and Divine Judgment upon the unsaved Earth just before He sets up the initial stage His physical Kingdom on Earth. After Gods renovation upon the Earth with fire; and Divine Judgment upon the unsaved, Gods promised Earthly Kingdom will first begin in Jerusalem (according to prophecy). When Christ is seated upon the Throne of His Father David (in Jerusalem) the Law of God will flow from Zion. Zion is where King Davids earthly throne existed in Israel.

During the 1000 year reign of Christ with all His saints, the physical and earthly Kingdom of Heaven will be established on in Jerusalem. Here, the Bridegroom and the Bride begin their honeymoon (on physical earth for 1000 years). Zech. 14:5, Rev. 19:11, 1 Thess. 3:13, Jude 14. This promised Kingdom (or honeymoon between the Bride and Bridegroom) will first begin in Jerusalem and later spread throughout the Earth during the Millennial Reign of Christ with all His glorified saints. Preaching continues until the White Throne Judgment. Rev. 14:6 Judgment is made according to the Gospel.

At the end of this 1000 year reign of Christ on Earth with all the saints, Heaven and Earth fled away (The Bride and the Bridegroom) go back to the Father before the Judgment of the Great White Throne. This Great and terrible Judgment will come upon the wicked dead. The Great White Throne Judgment is a bodily resurrection of the wicked dead. Rev. 20:11 In this Divine Judgment all the wicked dead; Death and Hell; and the Devil himself, are cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 20:14 At this time the first heaven and the first Earth will be passed away.

After Gods Great White Throne Judgment and the second death...the holy city, the heavenly Jerusalem descends back to Earth, prepared as a Bride. This Bride that descends is called the lambs wife. Rev. 21:9 Both the Bride and Bridegroom come back to earth to live for Eternity. The curse from the fall of Adam is lifted from the earth and from humanity. Rev. 22:3 At this time God pours out His Spirit upon "all flesh" as promised by the Prophet Joel and Ezekiel. Everything on Earth is completely restored as it was in the Garden of Eden before the fall. All humanity is restored! Complete restoration of Earth and humanity! No more redemption! Eternity now takes over where time existed. Everything is eternal! Heaven on Earth! Halleluiah! 1 Cor. 15: 24-28

As the day of the Lord draweth near I thank God for your participation.

This Blog is designed to edify, teach, and minister the truth of God's Word. Much of the content of this site is based in the Jewish perspective of the Bible. Brother Lindsey taught the Bible from this perspective after being tutored by a Rabbi for 15 years. As for out South America brothers and sisters we offer much clairification to those who study God's Word and "do not follow the doctrines of men". There is so much content being offered here that does offer a good system of study.

May the Lord Jesus Christ be the center of your life and study of God's Word. If you desire to ask questions please feel free to contact me personally at r.roehm@fuse.net . In the name of Jesus or Yeshua. I apprecate you stopping by. Please be advised there is much more material to come in the year of 2011.

God Bless and please keep this site in your favorites.

Christ can purge man from dead works...

2011-10-18T16:36:00.005-04:00

The object of this study focuses primarily on the person of Christ who delivers men from the bondage of sin and removes guilt from the human conscience. These factors cause men to produce “dead works” in the eyes of God. They struggle in sin to get saved; and they struggle with a sinful heart after they get saved. This struggle and this mindset has caused men to wander in the wilderness, to grumble, and to complain for centuries. Only Christ (who was offered once) can deliver man from such bondage and purge man from the guilt sin brings to the human conscience.

In the Old Testament men could make atonement for sin but the root of sin still existed and so did the guilt caused from sin. Only Christ who was God in the flesh could have sinlessness, flesh and blood as you and I, and still have the fullness of God’s Eternal Spirit to purge man from such bondages. The following verse states such truth.

Hebrews 9:14…How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Christ(God in the flesh) was filled with the Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary. The Bible tells us Christ was given the Spirit without measure. Matthew’s Gospel teaches Christ was led of the Spirit into the wilderness where he fasted for 40 days and was tempted of the Devil. Jesus was anointed of the Spirit when He became a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. By the Eternal Spirit Christ suffered, died, and rose from the grave according to the Scriptures.

Christ is the reason why we can be purged from dead works and the conscience can be freed from guilt caused from sin. Recognize who Christ is. Christ’s supremacy is the theme of the Bible. By Him all things exist. He purges man from dead works…

To our European Brethern...May the Lord Jesus richly bless you

2011-10-15T10:37:00.000-04:00

Just a brief note. Thanks Europe for stopping by this site. We appreciate you coming here in the name of Jesus. The name above all names. This site dedicated to Holy Hubert Lindsey is now being published and ministered around the Globe. Our intent is to magnify Christ Jesus.

I have been lax in weeks past keeping this Blog updated. This is due to various things going in my life. Not to many things that Jesus is not first in my life. He is! Glory!

Anyway this ministry was started to spread knowledge about Bible and Christ...around the globe. Two types of knowledge. Intellectual or head knowledge; and experiential knowledge we get from the Spirit of God. This blog offers much preaching and teaching that edifies those who desire to know "more" about God's Word.

There are many Blogs and preaching audios to review here but I need to keep it refreshed often likewise. Also we would appreciate your Biblical comments or Biblical questions. Please keep in touch. Share our site with others. With love, may the Lord richly bless your life in Christ and your studies of the Bible.

Sincerely,
Rick Roehm

First Epistle of John (audio)...a verse by verse study...Chapters 4-5...by Rick Roehm

2011-09-28T20:41:00.000-04:00

This part two study is MP3 audio only. Didn't get a chance to transpose to video like pt. 1. Does contain great information on John's rebuttal of Gnosticism and the victory that all children of God can have in Christ Jesus.

What takes place when a sinner’s heart is cleansed from sin?

2011-09-28T13:21:00.001-04:00

The old hymnal I love very much asks the question? What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Rick Roehm asks the question, “What takes place when a sinner’s heart is cleansed from sin?”

The unholy heart is made holy as God’s Justification takes place. The new nature is given to the believer in Christ because of regeneration of the Spirit. God takes man out of the world and “baptizes” him into the body and person of Christ. By one Spirit we are all baptized into one body. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Repent and be baptized everyone of you for the remission of sins…

Many things take place when a sinner is made into a child of God. Sin is washed away. The heart of man is cleansed. The Spirit’s baptism “puts the repented sinner into Christ”. A miracle takes place when every sin committed in the past life is forgiven. The dirty heart of fallen man is made clean. The sin stains are washed away as a result of suffering and shed blood of Christ. What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Or…There is power, power, wonder working power in the blood of the Lamb. Or, He sought me, and he bought me with His redeeming Blood.

The cleansing power of the cross flows into man’s heart and life. Baptism takes place as God immerses the beleiver into Christ. This baptism is performed by the Spirit of God. Forgiveness is found and the conscience is freed from the guilt of sin. Many things take place in the heart of man according to the power of God’s Grace.

The heart is made clean. Man is “placed into” (baptized)into right-standing with God. It’s soul cleansing that comes from above. Born of the Spirit washed in His blood. Many things take place in redemption. I write of these things to clarify words in the Bible such as redemption, Salvation, being cleansed, the Spirit’s baptism, remission of sins, forgiveness, Justification, Sanctification, etc.

Honored to share with you what God has shared with me. Love using the lyrics to the old hymnals also. Those songs were scripturally sound. Based on the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb. This Blog also illustrates what takes place when a sinner repents, believes, and finds redemption in the human soul. God puts man into Christ. Man is baptized by the Spirit into the holiness and purity of Christ. If any man gets into Christ he is a new creation. We are His workmanship “created” in Christ Jesus. Much happened! Much took place! The sinner becomes a saint of God! Glory!

The Holy Spirit "testifies" Christ to the heart of man

2011-09-25T17:59:00.002-04:00

The Holy Spirit shows man Christ. The Holy Spirit reveals the person of Christ. Christ is made known to the human family by the ministry of the Holy Spirit. This is the witness of God to the human family.

When the Gospel is preached Christ is made known. Christ shows the sinner his need to turn from sin and disobedience. Light shines and reveals sin. The Spirit's testimony tells the sinner there is a better way in the person of Christ.

This witness of the Spirit can convict. This witness can stir man so much that fallen man will turn from evil and wrongdoing. The Spirit's witness can be seen in goodness that "leads" or "causes" fallen man to change his mind. The Gospel message gets into man's thinking enough that the Holy Spirit can sway fallen man to believe.

The Holy Spirit "testifies" Christ to the human soul. There is power in preaching because the ministration of the Holy Spirit is behind preaching and touches man with truth and love. This touch is the Spirit's testimony of Christ.

John 15:26-27... But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness

We appreciate your prayers

2011-09-14T07:26:00.000-04:00

Saints of God, " May the power of God's mercy and love found in Christ be extended to those with needs in these most trying times". Around the globe via Internet... the person of Christ is being magnified through your belief and prayers in unison with the Roehm family. We appreciate your love, your prayers, and your support that is given to us from the Spirit of Christ that brings us together.

Sincerely,
Rick and Paula Roehm who are beleiving Christ for a miracle from the Throneroom.

Spiritual Gifts are given (in local bodies) to manifest Christ, the Head of the Church

2011-09-12T10:31:00.001-04:00

Within this great body of Christ that reaches around the globe Christ ordains the local house of faith in each one of our geographic locations. Within these local bodies God sets in Elders to rule and govern each local body. In the midst Christ is the Head and the truth of His Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.

Men of God and leaders in these local bodies are subject to the directive of Christ through the power and presence of His Holy Spirit. Christ is the center of attraction. Christ is the one who the Holy Spirit reveals. Christ is the one who gets all the glory.

The manifestation of the gifts spoken of in 1 Cor. 12:1-11 are gifts that manifest the operation of a living Christ. These gifts of the Holy Spirit did not cease in the Early Church and there is no evidence in the Bible to declare such ideal. Christ is the same today from the Throneroom as He was when He walked the earth. He is the head of all things and by Him all things exist. His gifts manifest according to His Divine will and His Divine purpose.

When gifts from God manifest in the local body the turbines in Heaven generate power above human intelligence and human comprehension. The manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit are something that God does. God divides severally as He will. “Not man”. These gifts bring glory to Christ the Head… and magnify His name above all names. If man got the glory for gifts(instead of Christ) man would become, “puffed up with pride”.

The word “power” in Greek is dunamis. Dunamis is the root word for dynamo which simply means something that generates power. The power of God is manifested as God releases the generation of power from Heaven within the manifestation of these 9 gifts mentioned in 1 Cor. 12:1-11.

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE: A word or message of God’s divine knowledge revealed to the human being.

WORD OF WISDOM: A word or message of God’s divine wisdom revealed to the human being.

DISCERNING OF SPIRITS: A divine revelation to the human being as to whether certain utterances or behaviours are of God, of man, or of the powers of darkness.

GIFTS OF HEALING: A supernatural dimension of healing is manifested to heal physical, emotional or spiritual infirmities.

MIRACLES: An impossibility becomes a reality through the intervention of God.

FAITH: A temporary extra measure of faith, which God adds to a Christian’s, own faith, to give the necessary confidence to carry out God’s will at a particular time.

PROPHECY: Proclaiming a message of divine truth revealing God’s will.

TONGUES (PUBLIC UTTERANCE): A public proclamation of words in a spiritual language that God understands.

INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES: A response to the public utterance of tongues which can either give an explanation of the general meaning of the words previously spoken in a spiritual language or God’s answer to those words.

These gifts are manifested in local bodies to magnify Christ. Men are to bring honor to Christ, the head of the Church. Glory to Christ! He’s exalted! He’s alive. His gifts in the local bodies are to bring glory to Him! Honor Him! Be subject to Him! Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost…therefore glorify Him in your body and spirit which are His. His realities of truth and power (based on His Word) are for beyond human intellect, ideals, or reasoning.

He divides these gifts severally as He will.

Miracles come from the Throneroom

2011-09-10T10:22:00.000-04:00

Miracles never ceased because Christ is alive and seated in all power and authority...in the Throneroom today! Christ confirms the truth of the Word of God with His signs, wonders, and miracles...from the Throneroom today. I've always known this but the revelation is becoming more clear and vivid to my heart and thinking. Brother Lindsey sparked this writer to that revelation of Christ, the miracle worker many years ago. Signs, wonders, and miracles come from an exalted Christ in the Throneroom. Glory! Signs, wonders, and miracles come from Christ's living active power and from His living active presence in the Church. Christ touches, and moves, and performs these miracles through His infinite love, mercy, and compassion for the human family. Healing comes from Christ. This writer is believing Christ for a miracle and wonder in the life and body of his precious wife Paula who was recently diagnosed with cancer. I know Christ's hand is upon this ministry and this family. Jesus is first and foremost...above all things in our hearts and lives. Your prayers for this situation are thankfully accepted; but I am also asking those around the globe with great faith in Christ to believe and trust with this minister and husband of Paula for a present day miracle from the Throneroom. Believe and Trust what God said! Believe and Trust what God does! Believe and Trust what God promised! Miracles never ceased because Christ is alive and seated in all power and authority...in the Throneroom today! Christ confirms the truth of the Word of God with His signs, wonders, and miracles...from the Throneroom today. Will you trust with Rick Roehm for Christ to make this confirmation? Thank you Brothers and Sisters for your love and concern.

Mark 16:20...the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following

Hebrews 2:4...God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles,

John 20:30...Many other signs also Jesus did in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book

What does the Churches on Trial mean?

2011-09-02T13:37:00.005-04:00

The origin of the radio broadcast (which this site was named from) was a call in talk show that took Biblical questions that were answered by Brother Lindsey who was a guest on the show. The moderator was Jim Elsman a Lawyer in Detroit Mi. The show and the Biblical answers it provided actually put many local Churches on Trial. Why? Biblical answers given by Brother Lindsey revealed hidden truths that many denominations don't adhere to. Truth reveals. Truth removes the cloak of sin. Truth shows how many denominational are just short of the mark.

This site that contains many of the teachings and recordings that Brother Lindsey made still puts many local Churches on Trial today. It causes people to examine the Holy Scriptures more closely. It reveals truth from the Bible that many people overlook or dodge in this modern era.

The Churches on Trial is a God ordained continuation of the ministry that Brother Lindsey left behind. Today that ministry goes around the globe bringing glory and honor to Christ around the world. There are many hungry people in the world today that want to know Christ and the truth of the Holy Scriptures. The Churches on Trial does just that. We bring forth Bible Truth without compromise or denominational sway.

Our purpose is to magnify Christ in an unbelieving world. The Churches on Trial means truth without bias. The Churches on Trial means learning the Bible in context. The Churches on Trial means the ministry of Holy Hubert didn't die. The Churches on Trial means a lot more people desire to know the Truth about what the Scriptures really teach.

Hope you enjoy it! Send a link to someone. God bless and thanks for stopping by The Churches on Trial.

Tuesday night service at the Upper Room (08/16/11) ...by Rick Roehm

2011-08-19T08:44:00.003-04:00

The following teaching at the Upper Room was made without a plan, format, or an agenda. It was recorded on an IPOD by Brother James Allen. All for the glory of Christ. Teaches on what the Bible says about being strengthened in the inner man by the Spirit of God from the Ephesian Letter. The beautiful thing about this kind of service is how the truth of God's Word comes out and ministers to the human soul. Clarification from the Bible comes to the listener. Man's opinion stays out of the picture. Definitely worth posting. The Bible is the textbook. The Holy Spirit ministers.

Jesus, The Rose of Sharon

2011-08-17T11:03:00.000-04:00

As I make the daily morning ride to work I love to enjoy the elegance and beautiful flowers upon Ohio's, "Rose of Sharon". We have experienced a hot and wet Spring and Summer this year, in 2011. In all my years on planet Earth;I've never noticed the elegance, the dignity, and the beauty of Ohio's flowering plant called the Rose of Sharon. Perhaps this appreciation is because the Rose of Sharon is a Biblical topic and shares a beautiful, poetic, and prophetic picture of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. How I appreciate it's glory! How I appreciate the prophetic poetry from the Song of Solomon, about Jesus...the Rose of Sharon".

Song of Solomon 1:1-4...I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

Biblical Question: Where does righteousness come from?

2011-08-11T10:28:00.005-04:00

Answer: Righteousness is a gift of God's Grace. Righteousness is produced in a believer's moral being and character. Righteousness today under Grace (in the Church) is not based on human works. Man doesn't seek righteousness in the body of Christ. Righteousness is found as a result of man's faith and trust in the person of Christ.

Romans 5:17...For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

They which receive...
They which receive...
They which receive...

Righteousness is received into the heart and character of man's being. Righteousness comes from your faith in Christ. Righteousness is a changed moral character by the Grace of God. Righteousness is the fruit of God's character produced in the believer's character. Righteousness has nothing to do with...self.

The Bible says with the heart man beleiveth unto righteousness...

Romans 10:10...For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;

Man is made righteous, by Christ. Not by works. Not by human effort. Not by anything man does. Righteousness comes in to the heart of a believer from a righteous Christ.

Romans 5:19...so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Isaiah 53:7...by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

"Righteousness has nothing to do with what man does. Righteousness flows into the human soul from the cross at Calvary. Righteousness is bestowed into the heart of a believer in Christ and therefore witnessed in the eyes of God".

What is God's Church?

2011-08-09T15:15:00.002-04:00

The Church is God's creation that came into existence when Christ died on the cross. The Church was birthed as the Scriptures teach Christ purchased the Church with His own blood. The omnipresence of the Holy Spirit allows universal contact between man and God through mans belief and trust in Christ. The Church was the dividing line from Law given only to Israel... to Divine Grace given to both Jew and Gentile (today) through faith in Christ. The Church consists of members who are taken out of the world and baptized into the body of Christ by the Spirit. Israel in the Old Testament was the apple of God's eye. Today in the New Testament the Church is the apple of God's eye. Membership to the Church is not based on race, gender, or anyone's good deeds. Anyone sinner can become a member and any believer can lose membership. All membership to the Church requires is a clean heart given to man through the forgiveness of sins found in the death of a Savior. All members of Christ's body, the Church are holy because God gives them a holy heart by Grace. The Church is holy because God the creator of the Church is holy. The Church does not have a steeple nor does it consist of four walls or stained glass windows. The Church is a Spiritual place of refuge for all believers in Christ, on this side of Heaven. The Church is perfect because Christ, its builder is perfect. Never will Hell, the Devil, or sin, prevail against the Church or its members. Being a member of God's Church is the greatest blessing any man can have on this side of Heaven. The Church will be Raptured (called up to Heaven) according to the Bible. The Church will escape end time Wrath and Judgment promised to come from an angry God according to the book of Revelation. Get in the Church now while there's time. All it takes is faith and trust alone in what Christ did at Calvary, then God pardons the sinner and makes him a child of God, morally changed, and born into the Spiritual family called the Church.

What causes people to accept Jesus into their heart?

2011-07-29T13:26:00.000-04:00

In order for man to accept Jesus, he must first hear about Jesus. It's not just an imaginary Jesus it's about what Jesus actually did and about what Jesus is actually doing now, from His exalted position in Heaven. Acceptance is receiving the the personality of Jesus into the heart. Acceptance is taking hold of the Spirit and character of Jesus. Acceptance is giving consent to the authority that Jesus has as Savior and Lord. So, what causes fallen man to accept Jesus? The Spirit of God.

The Spirit of God shows man what he really is (dirty, filthy, and without hope). The Spirit of God testifies Jesus and makes Him known. Man thus recognizes the fact that Jesus became a man just like you and I. Though the Spirit's ministration fallen men understand that Jesus suffered as a man and shed the blood of a man... so that sinful men could have a way to find forgiveness for their (dirty and rotten) sinful conduct. Outside of Jesus sinful men can never find personal forgiveness for their past sins. Only acceptance of Jesus Christ into the heart and soul can cleanse sinful men from the sin stains they live with in normal life...without Jesus.

Man's acceptance comes from a broken and contrite heart prodded by the Spirit of God. Sin (in a broken man) is only realized in light of the person and authority of Jesus Christ our Savior. Brokeness comes to the heart of fallen man from the convicting power of the Spirit of the Living God. Man's consciousness and awareness to Christ comes from hearing about Christ, as the Spirit of God ministers "truth and purity" to the human soul. Fallen man's acceptance comes from a realization of who Christ is. Acceptance (on a personal basis in submission) is man's recognition of Jesus with consent, brokeness, and understanding of what Jesus did on the cross at Calvary.

Man's acceptance of Christ "receives and takes hold" of forgiveness from all past sins. Acceptance allows man to realize that the guilt of sin is taken away, as result of the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Man's acceptance of Christ brings the changed moral character that only comes into the human soul by the power of God's Divine Grace. Acceptance looks to Jesus as the true and only source for holiness of heart and right living. Acceptance clings to Jesus for every need in life. The reason men accept Jesus is because they recognize His suffering for fallen man. Repentance turns fallen men to Jesus. Acceptance takes hold of the fact that Jesus is very God and Savior.

The witness of a man who has accepted Jesus for personal Salvation is an example and light for God. Not by choice, but by the Divine power of the Grace of God. Not in boast, but in humbleness of heart. Men who accept Jesus are changed men. Every sin is forgiven because they accepted Jesus as Savior. The heart is clean because they accepted Jesus as Savior. The testimony is strong for Jesus because men who accept Jesus, are mouthpieces for God. These holy men of God testify about Jesus. They tell the world about Jesus and behind every holy witness for Jesus, is the Spirit of holiness that raised Jesus from the Grave.

The reason men accept Jesus is because they hear about Jesus from people (like you and I) who were touched by Jesus. The Holy Spirit is behind these testimonies that minister truth. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin and unrighteousness and leads fallen men to brokenness. The Holy Spirit is moving now and also leading sinful men to an acceptance of Jesus. When sinful men "break" from realization of who Jesus is...they will accept Him as Lord and Savior and find forgiveness from all past sins and freedom from the guilt of sin. They will desire to do things pleasing in His sight because they have accepted Him, the True and only God. They will mind the Spirit of God because they have accepted Jesus as Lord as Savior.

Behind every sin...is rejection of Christ

2011-07-26T14:53:00.001-04:00

Rejection of Jesus Christ? What causes rejection? Where does rejection come from? Does rejection come out of choice or is it a result of man's fallen nature? These questions arise...but what does God say about the subject of rejection of Christ? What does the Bible tell us?

As I write this Blog I think over and over again about how many people sin against God and wilfully reject the truth about Christ. I note that behind every sin is "rejection of a Savior". Sin and disobedience are products of the fallen nature of man. Sin is caused from man's natural rejection of Christ. The natural man is totally out of harmony with God because the nature and will are morally corrupt. Men are sinful by nature and compelled to sin and reject the truth about Christ. They are enslaved to unrighteousness...not by choice, but by nature. The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God as they are foolishness to him. Therefore God said these people are children of wrath.

We are told in the Bible that men are "willingly" ignorant. Wilful ignorance is natural rejection of Christ and sinful by nature. The action and character of man is controlled by sin. The conscience is smoothered by self justification that considers itself right when actually wrong in the eyes of God. Why? rejection of Christ. Rejection of Christ says, " I'm to young to get saved". Rejection of Christ says, "I'm not ready yet". Rejection of Christ says, "I'm a good person because I give to charity". Sin is based on man's rejection of Christ.

What kind of godly choice can an unsaved man really make in the eyes of God? An unsaved man can choose to do right and still do wrong in the eyes of God. The intent was right. The action was wrong because Christ was still rejected and there was no righteousness from God within the heart of man. Righteousness comes from Christ not from within a natural man. An unsaved man's decisions are altered likewise because of rejection of Christ. The choices and decisions of an unsaved man can appear to be right in the eyes of the human being... and still be wrong in the eyes of God. Why? rejection of Christ. The will is still tainted. The choices are still morally corrupt. Why? The nature is fallen and unregenerated. Without power from above. Without the power of God's Grace. Without Salvation of the human soul that comes through a Savior's forgiveness that flows from Calvary.

Sin is not essential in the child of God because the child of God accepts, trusts, and has assurance in the person of Christ. Behind obedience to God is faith and certainty in what Christ did and what He's doing now. There is no rejection in faith in Christ. There is no rejection in trust in Christ. There is not rejection in certainty that is placed in the person of Christ. Faith, trust, and certainty bring obedience to God and the inner work of Salvation into the human soul. Belief in Christ consumes rejection. Belief in Christ brings the Grace of God into the human soul. Belief in Christ staggers not. Belief in Christ doesn't waver like the waves of the sea. Belief allows obedience to flow from the power of Calvary granted to the human soul. The desire to sin is changed to a desire to do right. The choices of the saved man become godly choices. The decisions of the saved man become godly decisions. Ignorance becomes knowledge of what Christ did and what He's doing. A child God knows not to do wrong. He is accountable to God because He accepts what Christ did for him personally. He is no longer wilfully ignorant. He's changed by Grace. Morally right as a new creature...created by God. Old things passed away.

Jesus is the new way. Jesus is the new life. Jesus is the truth that gives us a way to "escape" the enslavement of sin. Has Jesus became real to you? Are you morally changed by the Grace of God? Does the Spirit of God control you? Acceptance, belief, and certainty in Christ. No more rejection. Sin doesn't live here any more. Obedient and right in the eyes of God. Christ made you that way. Glory! Isn't that beautiful? Behind this blessed life of holiness is a Savior who takes care of His family and meets their needs. Aren't you glad to be part of the family of God? Goodbye rejection, Hello Jesus.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God unto Salvation.

Born into the family of God

2011-07-19T08:55:00.000-04:00

Jesus told Nicodemus (John 3) that a person must be born, again. Note, He said again. Not a natural birth but a spiritual birth. All the Apostles knew that a man had to be born of God. Anybody that hears the Gospel message today...can find out that a sinner can be born into the family of God. How? The only description I can give you pertaining to "how" a person is born into the family of God is as follows.

Hearing the Gospel message allows the Spirit of God to come into a sinners heart and morally change. When God comes in...sin goes out. How? Forgiveness is found and the conscience is made clear. A spiritual deliverance takes place. A new nature is given to the heart of man...from above. The sinner is taken out of the world and baptized "into" Christ. This baptism is a spiritual baptism, or a "putting into" or "being emerged into"...the family of God. Born into the family of God. A new creation. A new heart, and new life, a new character, and new conduct. A child of God.

The best Biblical example I know of is when the children of Israel were "baptized" unto Moses. (1 Cor. 10:1-4) The hand of God took Israel from the bondage of Egypt; parted the water of the Red Sea; and took 600,000 people out of Egypt and delivered them into Canaan. These children of Israel were "put into" the land of Canaan by God Almighty. It was a Spiritual baptism. It was a " taking out and putting into" by the operation of God Almighty.

When sinners today hear the Gospel message about the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ...the Spirit of God converts these sinners into the family of God where they become , children of God. Children of God are part of the family of God...because they are born of God's blessed Holy Spirit. Blessed is the God of our Salvation....Jesus Christ who made a way for us to be partakers of the family of God.

I have another Blog where I post a complete library of audios for the study of God's Word. If you care to indulge in these great teaching audios...please review at the following link at Wordpress. God bless you all and thanks for stopping by the Churches on Trial Blog.

Overcome the dangers of life with Christ

2011-07-11T09:34:00.001-04:00

Children of God are blessed with a consciousness to the presence of Christ. Belief and trust in Christ gives children of God an assurance they are taken care of through every condition in life. Children of God also face dangers in this life. They must be cautious about worldly things...as they walk with Christ.

The Devil still lurks to destroy the child of God's walk with Christ. The world we live in... is in total opposition to the life of a believer in Christ. The world accepts disobedient conduct such as drinking, drug use, gambling, lying thats OK, etc. The world says its OK, we're only human. The Bible says to, "Walk in the Spirit not in the flesh". The reason for walking in the Spirit is to keep your heart and life in harmony with the presence of Christ. Without compromise.

Compromise is dangerous. Compromise to the world is even more dangerous. Compromise to temptation is dangerous. The world we live in can "destroy" the walk of a believer as it subtly teaches compromise to the point that the child of God "throws in the towel" and gives into the worldly way of thinking. The Devil wants the marriages to be wrecked. The world hates the light and loves darkness. Without truth the world can teach a lie and some will believe it.

Don't be deceived. The world, the flesh, and the Devil are out to tear down and destroy the child of God. The world hates the child of God. Opposition against the truth will never cease. Love not the world. Don't be conformed to the world. This is where the test comes in. It's called the trying of your faith or going through the fire. Recognize the dangers caused from worldly opposition. Trust the Lord for everything in life. Keep your heart clean and holy. Walk in the Spirit...not in the flesh. The world cannot harm you if you depend on Christ. The Devil has to flee if you depend on Christ. Truth prevails as opposition diminishes. Glory!

The witness in your heart will keep you from faltering. A child of God lacks nothing concerning the dangers they encounter. Do not deviate from the truth. If you do your life will go out of order and the world can creep in. Your association with Christian people can change. Dangers multiply and then comes sin. When sin is found condemnation comes upon the human soul. Consciousness to peace found in the person of Christ...becomes misery. The joy that comes from Christ is lost and contentment is nowhere be found.

Keep yourself pure. Avoid the heaviness and condemnation that comes from sin. Stay steady and right in the eyes of God. Avoid the dangers of the world. When tempted turn to Jesus. Keep the flesh in subjection to a life of obedience found only in Christ. No compromise. When in doubt about something...be safe. Don't do it unless God permit. Husbands love your wives. Wives love your husbands. Marriage is honorable in the eyes of God. Christians are overcomers. Christians are more than conquerors. Christians are winners! Glory! The gates of hell "cannot" prevail. Why? Christ is your Saviour.

No debates, arguments, or fables at the Churches on Trial...we simply teach Christ crucified

2011-07-05T10:38:00.000-04:00

This ministry was ordained of God to tell the world the truth about Christ. We are not based on hype. We are not in it for the money, nor are we in it to gain popularity. The reality is, "Christ is real". He changes things and gives us a better life.

We do not argue. We do not debate. We do not teach fables. Our intent is to get people to Christ and to teach them God's Word.

The world is lost. So many distractions. Evil is rampant. The pressures of life are intense. The clean heart is the simplicity of Christ in your heart and mine. The Bible teaches that Christians have a clean heart. Christians are holy and right in the eyes of God. Christ is alive and His power is given to those who believe.

This is the plain and simple truth. Christ is the way; the truth; and the life. No room for argument or debate. God said so. It's final. To do the will of God your heart must be clean. Only Christ can clean the heart of man. Don't be overtaken with the opinions of men. Read it in your Bible.

Truth undermines elegant stories which come from enticing words of men's wisdom. Truth plows under human wisdom with demonstration of the Spirit and power. Truth is only built upon the Word of God. Truth is not open for debate. Truth is only argued by people who reject it or don't understand it's worth. Truth is raw...and simple enough for a child to understand. Truth needs to be stood for and taught more!

At the Churches on Trial we put Churches on Trial because we don't water down truth. We don't compromise, nor do we apologize for teaching truth. Sometimes the truth requires giving up what you have. Sometimes truth seems unusual but it brings comfort to the soul. Brother Lindsey paved the way teaching truth so that's why we publish his timeless messages on this Blog. The Christ Brother Lindsey preached changed Rick Roehms life too. That's why I give my time and life to this cause.

May it bless your life. Thanks for stopping by this Blog to study these things out to see if they be true. God knows your heart. We appreciate the fellowship. Enjoy the Churches on Trial, a blog started to magnify the cause of Christ in a present evil world. Make Christ your anchor and your joy. Appreciate you stopping by.

A revival message that can never die...Hubert T. Lindsey... (6 audios of 10)

2011-06-20T15:12:00.111-04:00

The following (6) audios were recorded at a Florida Revival meeting in 1985 and contain a wealth of knowledge (from the book of Revelation)that merits publication. There are (4) additional audios to be added to this (10) audio series. The (6) audios posted below are in chronological order and cover many fascinating subjects in the Bible such as the, "mark of the beast", "God's promises to Israel", "the gathering", "the complete restoration", and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all flesh".

This audio ministry has been an ongoing ministry for this writer for almost 25 years. When I transpose these audios I study the content in effort to make sure all material is sound doctrine. I have spent many years studying Joel's Prophecy, the restoration of the Earth in the Millennial Kingdom, Jewish Law, The Kingdom Message, God's gathering of Israel, Israel's own gathering, various religions of the world, The Rapture, etc. These audios are fascinating and informative. They will fill gaps in your personal Bible study. They will bless you life and walk with Christ.

Please note the players below are sponsored players that often need to be refreshed to review content, to share, to send, to e-mail, to download or upload. God has blessed this ministry richly. Use it for the glory of Christ. Save these posts. Send them to friends. Help us to scatter this knowledge around the globe for the cause of Christ. This site is authored and maintained by Rick Roehm, pastor at the Upper Room in Williamsburg, Ohio. Our mission is to win souls to Christ. I'd like also to mention my dear Brother James Allen who works hand in hand with this writer to publicize Brother Lindsey's teaching around the globe. We do it for Jesus. Jesus gets the glory! Six audios posted! More coming as God allows.

Jesus, the greatest Father...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-06-19T16:01:00.004-04:00

Fathers Day Special!!!
I have been compelled to post this audio/video by Brother Lindsey for several years. A dear Brother (Jim Denton) from Mi. gave me this audio a few years ago. It contains very touching and powerful testimony for Christ. It also touches on the sanctity of marriage that so many need to know in this fast paced and evil world.

Today, Fathers Day 06/19, 2011 was the day to make that post! Brother Lindsey originally recorded this audio 06/19/1988. 23 years ago...Not a coincidence, huh? No. God has a purpose. This audio/video was necessary to post at the Churches on Trial as we endeavor to magnify Christ (and the truth concerning Christ in the Scriptures) around the globe.

In dedication to Hubert T. Lindsey, the father of the Gospel in Rick Roehm's life.

Hubert T. Lindsey...Ashes of a Red Heifer...#3 of 6

2011-06-14T06:39:00.144-04:00

This profound teaching by Brother Lindsey was originally recorded in 1985 at a Revival Service in Florida. This audio is one of a six audio series that contains in depth and prophetic teaching on the subject of Israel's mystical Ashes of a Red Heifer. At present, these Ashes and the Red Heifer are currently being sought by Jewish leaders, in effort to restore and rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The Internet has opened doors and is now allowing these Spirit filled and God sent messages to reach people across the globe for the cause of Christ. This audio is over 60 minutes long and contains a vast amount of unusual and true Biblical knowledge.

Hubert Lindsey was a Bible scholar and was personally tutored by a Jewish Rabbi for 15 years. As a Spirit filled minister Brother Lindsey could simplify Daniel's Prophecies and John's Book of Revelation and could tie them together and make them so simple..that a child could understand. In the contents of this profound series of audios Brother Lindsey clarifies controversial issues about the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple that is questioned by thousands of people around the globe.

Brother Lindsey left this God sent material (on audio) to win lost men and women to Christ before the Rapture of the Church comes. It has been my pleasure for 25 years to continue reviving these timeless messages. I thank God for Brother James Allen who also assists this preacher with the publication of these Hubert Lindsey audios.The Churches on Trial Blog has been used for this ministry for the past couple of years. We at the Churches on Trial thank God for the opportunity to continue this blessed work that Brother Lindsey placed onto audio in effort to bring clarification from the Word of God to many students of the Bible around the world.

On the player below MP3's and downloads by Hubert T. Lindsey these sponsored audios can be paused, shared, E-mailed, uploaded, or downloaded for future listening. We appreciate the assistance from sermon.net/holy to present these sponsored audios on the Churches on Trial blog site. In the future... The Upper Room and the Churches on Trial, hopes to sponsor their own player to bless others with these timeless messages. Our intent is to keep what Brother Lindsey started alive and make these audios, "A blessing to other people". Help us to help others with this blessing...for the cause of Christ. Thanks for stopping by the Churches on Trial Blog. Tell somebody about this site and help us to scatter the Word of God around the globe.

Hubert T. Lindsey, a voice for God for 75 years

2011-06-03T14:18:00.003-04:00

As a voice for God, I also am honored to carry on this ministry for Christ, at present and for the past 24 years. This site (Churches on Trial) is now reaching people for Christ and teaching the Bible, around the world. Glory! Brother Hubert T. Lindsey who inspired this writer to make this Internet site... preached Christ, recorded sermons, and impacted lives for Christ his whole life for 8o+ years on this side of Heaven. Hubert T. Lindsey a.k.a...Holy Hubert was and still is a voice for God today as a result of the Internet. Hubert Lindsey as a voice for God (and dear Brother in Christ) is worth mentioning and remembering. His voice still echoes Christ today in 2011. Hubert Lindsey is a major reason why I created this Blog site.

Hubert Lindsey preached Christ (thoroughly) around the United States for decades. He impacted lives and recorded sermons because he knew their worth in the future. He made radio broadcasts about the Bible because he knew the worth of his Biblical knowledge and witness for Christ. Today, a dear Brother (Jim Denton) and myself have hundreds of sermons recorded by Brother Lindsey that merit future publication. We both have endeavored for years to carry on this ministry. The voice of Hubert Lindsey needs to be heard around the world. His strong message about Christ, the Gospel, and vast amounts of Bible truth were recorded and preserved according to the will of God. Hubert knew this. Rick Roehm knows this, and anyone who finds the worth that stems from this vast Biblical Truth will learn and experience this for themselves.

Christ in the Throneroom is preparing hearts for His soon return. Holiness is the fruit of this message and ministry. Holiness was and is the object of Hubert Lindsey's ministry. The voice of God and the voice of men of God proclaims loudly, "Be ye holy as I am holy, thus sayeth the Lord". It takes backbone to preach holiness against an unholy world. Hubert Lindsey had Spirit filled backbone to pave the way. He had mercy, compassion, and love for humanity. Anyone will discover this fact when they hear the voice of Hubert Lindsey. Hubert Lindsey was a preacher, minister, teacher, evangelist, Theologian, Apostle, and called man of God. God used the voice of Hubert T. Lindsey for many decades. Check out his sermons at this site.

We offer preaching, teaching, radio broadcasts, Church services, and a complete Bible Theology for those whose desire to hear and learn the Word of God. Hubert Lindsey rightly divided the Word of God an laid foundations that stand for the long haul. Search this Blog site. Listen to the voice of Brother Hubert Lindsey. Allow God to minister truth and holiness to your heart and soul. God Bless and thanks for stopping by the Churches on Trial Blog that God used Google to publish for the cause of Christ.

Hubert Lindsey's voice for God

When did the Old Testament stop? When did the New Testament begin?

2011-05-27T13:24:00.000-04:00

These questions about the two covenants are often misunderstood, overlooked, dodged, or even disputed in our modern religious world. Why are they so questionable? What does the Bible really teach about the answers to these questions. Why is this subject about the difference between the Old and New Testaments so important? What difference does it make?

“It makes a lot of difference”. Under Grace we become members of Christ’s body. Under Law they didn’t because the body of Christ the Church had not come. Saints under Grace are united with God through personal forgiveness and redemption from the sacrifice of Christ at Calvary. Forgiveness and redemption came through Israel’s final sacrifice.This final sin offering was the man, Christ. The Lamb of God that redeems people from their personal sins. Jesus was Israel’s final sin offering. Israel’s Temple was destroyed in 70AD. The Church was purchased and birthed through shed blood of Christ. The Comforter came as Christ promised the Spirit would come.

Under the New Testament…saints of God have a greater blessing called Grace. Saints of God under the Law of Moses and before were under Old Covenant relationships. Today under the covenant of Grace (in the Church)…Jesus sent us another Comforter from the Throneroom. This Comforter was something Old Testament saints never had and never experienced under the blessing of the Law of Moses and prior.

So, when did the Old Testament stop? When did the New Testament begin? At Calvary when Jesus (the lamb of God) became Israel’s final sacrificial offering to God.

Hebews 10:5-10…Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].

Learn the Bible from the perspective of knowing when the Old Testament stopped and the New Testament began. Make the distinction between the Old and the New Testament. Don’t mix everything up. Live with the power of God’s Divine Grace that flows from Calvary. See it in the Bible. Rightly divide the truth of God’s Word. Christ not only forgives…He also gives us a better life. That better life is the blessed life of living with the power of God’s Grace every minute, every hour, and every day. A New Testament saint has a greater blessing because it comes from the person of Christ within. Grace flows from Calvary. Grace keeps the Comforter present in our lives. Grace is where the Church and all spirtual gifts come from.

These gifts never ceased at the Early church. These gifts are blessings of the New Testament we now live under. Jesus said greater blessings than these would come because He went back to the Father. Glory! We now have greater blessings! Because the Old Testament stopped and the New Testament began.

Jesus cried over Israel's rejection...

2011-05-25T13:03:00.001-04:00

Luke 19...And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

As a foundation of this Blog I have to go back to one week before the crucifixion of Christ. The Kingdom of Heaven message was rejected by Israel as a nation and so was the Promised King. God had promised the King and the Kingdom message to be presented to Israel. Isreal rejected both. It broke Jesus' heart to witness the attitude of rejection that came from the nation of Isreal His home country and fellowkinsmen. Jesus mourned, He sorrowed, and He cried. He cried because Israel rejected God's promised earthly Kingdom which is a hugh portion of prophetic truth contained in the Old Testament records. Jesus cried because Israel rejected the ones (the twelve and the seventy) He sent out preaching, "The Kingdom of Heaven was at hand". The message of the Kingdom to Isreal had to be presented! The Apostles, John the Baptist, and Jesus himself presented it! If the Kingdom message would not have been presented for the first three years of Jesus' ministry... even the stones would have cried out!

Luke 19:40-41...And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

In Matthew's account of these final days of Christ he spoke of Jesus literally withering the fig tree. This literal withering of the fig tree was actually a pronounciation of Judgment by Christ upon Israel for their rejection of the promised King and the Kingdom message. It broke Jesus' heart to do such because the Kingdom of Heaven promised from the foundation of the world was rejected and therefore postponed until the 1000 year reign of Christ.

Matt 21:19-20... And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

Marks account of Jesus's literal curse upon the fig tree spoke as such.

Mark 11:20-21... And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away

After Christ realized that Israel "lacked faith" so much that the Kingdom could not be established He wept over Israel. He knew their lack of faith. He knew their backslidden state. He knew their rejection of the Torah. He knew their rejection of the Messiah. It sorrowed Christ in His heart for the pronunciation of Judgement that was to come. The curse of the fig tree actually pointed to Israel's future destruction of the Temple in 70AD. Jesus foretold this destruction. Aniel foretold this destruction. The curse of the fig tree also pointed to Israel's lack of faith and doubtful rejection of the Messiahship of Christ.

When Jesus spoke of Israel having faith the size of a mustard seed He wasn't praising Israel... He was reproving them for their lack of faith and rejection of the King and the promised Kingdom. In Matthew you have these definative words about faith concerning if they would have recieved the Kingdom on earth...which was the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matt 21:21...Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

This moving of a mountain that Jesus spoke of was a "literal moving of mountains" just like the withering of the fig tree was a "literal withering of the fig tree" that pointed to Jesus' pronounciation of Divine Judgement upon Israel. You see...in the Kingdom on Earth (The Kingdom of Heaven) those who reign with Christ will have power over tangible Earth just like Christ had. That is how Peter walked on water. In the Kingdom Age...Jesus gave the disclples power over tangible earth, natural law, demons, scorpions, the weather, etc. Whatever they would say or would do would happen. Man was to have dominion over the natural laws of Earth in the Promised Kingdom. When Jesus wept the Earthly Kingdom was postponed until after the Rapture of the Church. Many things happened when Jesus wept!

PS...If Israel would not have rejected their own Torah...they would have recogized the Messiahship of Christ. The Torah spoke of Christ. Unfortunately, Israel followed the teaching of the Talmud more than the Torah which is the first five books of the Bible. Jesus taught the Torah.

Annual Fish Fry at the Upper Room

2011-05-16T21:04:00.001-04:00

Every year we have a couple of Fish Fry's at the Upper Room. My son Chad and I catch the fish in the local waters of Southwestern Ohio. Last night we had our Spring Fish Fry and held Sunday service afterwards. The food was great! The fellowship was great! And, the communion in the Holy Ghost was beautiful!

The Lord's Body is beautiful! It is joined together by the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We are a family of God build together in love and unity. Jesus is our Saviour. The Word of God is the basis for our faith. When we come together as a people for Christ we can share food, love, fellowship, and just a good time together in Christ. Glory! Everyone was happy and blessed!

Brother Jim and Chasity (my daughter) took the pictures posted on this Blog. A great time in the Lord. Our food menu consisted of:

Batter dipped Ohio grown fish
Batter dipped Chicken Strips
Onion rings
French Fries
Caramel Cheesecake
Chocolate Mint Cheesecake

For dessert we had a little Word and a nice message by Rick Roehm for the glory of Christ. Our church has been open now going on the forth year. We are blessed and very thankful.

Has Jesus became real to you?

2011-05-09T12:18:00.000-04:00

The reality of Jesus is how Jesus morally changes the believing heart. Man's initial change first begins when forgiveness is found through the power of God's Grace. Forgiveness is an experience that flows from Calvary into the believing heart. The reality of forgiveness is a conscience freed from the guilt of sin. Only the Grace of God can free the human conscience from the guilt of sin. This is the "real" blessing of God's Grace found through and acceptance of Christ as Saviour and Redeemer. It's a blessing that offers true contentment and peace to the human soul that can be found from no other source within humanity. It's a blessing that's only found when Jesus becomes real to you. You can know every sin has been forgiven when Jesus becomes real in your heart and life. Jesus has power to cleanse the heart of fallen man from sin. Jesus is real as His merciful hand reaches out to humanity. Has Jesus became real to you? Make sure He has. You can know every sin is forgiven. You can know you are in rightstanding with God at all times. All it takes is a clean heart that is cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Has Jesus became real to you?

The fruit of righteousness. Grace that "works in"...brings obedience that "works out".

2011-04-22T07:28:00.029-04:00

The power of God's Grace is not a progressive work as many people think. Saving Grace is the power of Salvation which is the outflow of Calvary within the human soul. The effect of Calvary upon the believer in Christ... "morally changes the human soul". The corrupt and unholy heart is made clean. Holiness begins when the heart is made clean by the Grace of God. Salvation is a complete work performed by God's Grace. The fruit of Salvation is the morally changed heart and life of a sinner to state of becoming... a child of God.

When the Bible says, "Work out your Salvation with fear and trembling" it doesn't mean to gradually get closer to God. It means to work out what God already "worked within you".

Phil 2:12-13...as ye have always "obeyed", not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Notice the language of the scripture. Paul commended the Phillipian church because they "always obeyed". What caused these believer's in Christ, to obey God? God had already performed the work of Salvation within those hearts and lives. The Phillipian Church was saved. They were filled with the fruits of righteousness. Paul was confident of this, because he knew what God had already given them. He knew Divine Grace that flowed from Calvary was enough to sustain these believers, all the way through life...until the day of Christ's return.

Phil 1:6...Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Phil 1:10-11...That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

You can be filled with the fruits of righteousness in this life. You can obey God every day of your existence. You can have assurance and confidence that Salvation is the beginning of the new heart and new life. This is the blessing of Salvation and obedience to God. This is the new heart and the new life the Bible teaches about. This is obedience to God that the world doesn't have or know about. You can live victorious! You can have contentment found in the holy life! You can walk and live with obedience to God every day of your existence in Christ! Be blessed by the power of God's Grace! This is what the Bible teaches! Read it closely! Meditate on it! Glory!

Holy Hubert Lindsey...a preacher who was tried with many circumstances but stayed true to God

2011-04-19T15:41:00.002-04:00

On one of the audios by Brother Lindsey I heard several years ago he testified about a loss of property that he once experienced. It was in regards to an apartment building (owned by Brother Lindsey) that was lost in a fire. Brother Lindsey made a statement about this loss that has stuck with me for over 20 years. He said God showed him these 4 things listed below in this Blog. I made note of these 4 things as I have thus pondered them time and time again in my personal ministry for the past 20 years. I'd like to share them with you at the Churches on Trial.

The Enthronement of Christ
The sufficiency of God
The power of a resurrected Saviour
The ministry of the Holy Spirit

May they bless you as much as they have this preacher. I thank God that Brother Lindsey shared them with me. Now, as writer of this Blog...I know why. God Bless!

If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross

2011-04-11T20:47:00.002-04:00

Last night we had a beautiful service at the Upper Room. The sermon was about the final hours of the Lord Jesus Christ on Earth during His crucifixion. The Spirit ministered to our hearts about how personal Salvation stems from the suffering Saviour who could have came down off the cross because He was God in the flesh. When Jesus stepped down from His heavenly position He became a man, yet as the Son of God He had power to do anything within human comprehension, but didn't. God's plan for fallen man far out weighs human comprehension. Notice the Scriptures written by Matthew as the people observed our Saviour in public shame.

Matt 27:40...If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

Matt 27:42...If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

Jesus was mocked by humanity. He was ridiculed by the Pharisees yet there was no guile found in His mouth. He was "made" sin who knew no sin, that "we" might be made the righteousness of God in Him. He bore the punishment for sin in His fleshly body at Calvary yet His soul did not see corruption. He could have come down off the cross and proved that He had power to do so..but didn't. Jesus by the Grace of God tasted suffering and death so that you and I could be saved and redeemed from eternal separation from God. When Jesus suffered on the cross He tasted death for fallen man.

Heb 2:9-10...But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Christ tasted death for you and I. He could have came down off the cross because He had the power to do so...but didn't according to the plan of God. His compassion and mercy for fallen man can not be described in His suffering. His love for fallen man cannot be described as He hung on the cross in public shame. Did He have power to come down from the cross and prove He was God? Yes, but if He would have come down from the cross you and I would not have had any means of redemption. Redemption flows from Calvary. The Holy Spirit was given to humanity through the Church that was birthed at Calvary. If Jesus would have come down off the cross the Church wouldn't have been birthed. Mosaic Law would not have ceased and Grace would not have begun.

During the ninth hour(after darkness was over all the land) Jesus commended His Spirit into the hands of the Father and cried out, "It is finished"...and then He gave up the ghost. The son of God had power to come down off the cross but didn't so you and could be saved. Glory!

Holy Hubert Lindsey died 8 years ago (2003), but his ministry still lives (2011)

2011-04-08T08:43:00.013-04:00

Can a man lose faith in Christ and then regain faith in Christ?

2011-03-24T13:46:00.009-04:00

Yes, but there is a better life than that. Here's why.

Losing faith is what the Bible calls the sin of unbelief. What happens when men lose faith in Christ? Defeat develops. People become habitually disobedient to God. Sin separates man from God's Saving Grace as we all know the wages of sin is death. Did you know this could become a habitual life of defeat? Keeping the faith means you are faithful to God with victory in Jesus. Losing faith means you are unfaithful to God and living in defeat. Faith is a consciousness and awareness of Christ in your heart and life. If you don't know if your sins are forgiven. They're not! Faith in Christ allows man to know that every sin is forgiven and that the heart is clean and holy in the eyes of God. You can keep this victory every day of your life with the power of God's Grace.

A clean heart comes from your trust in what Christ did for you personally. Your trust in Christ and what Christ did for you personally is why you're forgiven by God God Almighty. You will know you're forgiven because the guilt of sin is lifted from your conscience. You are aware of the fact that Christ made you a new creation and know every sin is forgiven. This is soul rest. Soul rest is freedom from the guilt of sin. Redemption comes through your personal trust and belief in Christ. Can you lose this trust? Yes. Can you regain it? Yes. Don't waver back and forth in defeat. Stay steady with victory by the power of God's Saving Grace.

Men fall into sin. Why? They lose faith and quit trusting Christ for personal forgiveness. They turn back to sinful conduct. Sin is not an unconscious act. Sin is a wilful act of rebellion and disobedience to God. When faithfulness to Christ is lost, unfaithfulness to Christ is found. Unfaithful men are sinful and wilfully sinful. Not a product of belief and trust in Christ where Grace is found. A defeated life of misery and shame with "wavering faith". Christ gives us something better. It's a connection to the power of God's Grace we are to keep, "without wavering".

God's Grace and mercy is always connected to man "if" (notice I said if) man believes and receives Christ into the heart and soul. God's Grace and mercy is disconnected from the soul when man "loses faith in Christ" or "lets go of Christ". The Bible calls this disconnection grieving the Spirit and/or quenching the Spirit. You must hold on. Can you be reconnected of you let go? Yes. How? When you get every sin forgiven "again" through personal acceptance of the cleansing power that flows from the blood of Jesus Christ that hung on Calvary's tree. Faith in Christ can be lost or let go of. Faith in Christ can be regained. Who wants to go through all of this?

Wouldn't it be a better life to just, "Keep the faith?" Paul said, "Fight the good fight of faith". Paul said, "I have kept the faith". There is no better life than to stay faithful to Christ all the way to Heaven. No faith lost. No faith to regain. The Bible call this "immovable in the faith". Glory! I get blessed just writing about keeping faith in Christ and in the Bible. They both have shown this writer that nothing can defeat the child of God! Faith in Christ doesn't have to be lost. Stay satisfied with a faithful life connected to Christ in the Spirit. Greater is He in me...than He that's in the world. Isn't joyful? Is this what the Bible means, "Joy unspeakable". Hallelujah!

They that sleep, sleep in the night

2011-03-22T08:56:00.006-04:00

Sleeping in the night are those who are living in darkness. Sleeping means to be unaware of what's going on around you. These are godless and without hope. People today are so unaware of Christ and to be honest Christ is the farthest thing in life from their hearts and thinking. People drink and drug today without an inkling of what will happen in their future. With no ideal that substance abuse will control their lives, marriages, relationships with Christ. The booze takes over their mind and actions. the drugs take over their mind and actions. The temper is altered from use of drugs whether illicit or legal. Nobody in darkness knows how much the booze or drugs are going to consume them. These people are sleeping in the night. Living in darkness and unaware of Christ our Saviour. Even the adulterer of fornicator who begins the relationship outside the sanctity of marriage, doesn't have a clue of where these relationships will lead; or how many people will be hurt or affected by their sinful conduct and dirty living. These people are sleeping and unaware of what they are getting into. Darkness rules and blinds the minds of those who believe not in the Gospel of Christ.

I've written all the above to say this one thing,

"The child of God is aware of Christ and Christ's saving Grace. The child of God is not sleeping nor does he walk in darkness anymore. The child of God is sober and right at all times in the eyes of God because he has the God given power to do right. The child of God is not "overtaken" by booze, by sensuality, or by dirty living anymore. The child of God has the person of Christ in their hearts. They are sober and constantly watching for the coming of their Lord Jesus Christ. Their hearts are prepared for trials and tribulations that come during our life on earth. Children of God walk in the light because God's Grace made them overcomers in the world. Nothing can defeat the child of God. Children of God are of the day, not of the night. Children of God do not sleep in darkness, they are aware of Christ and His return to Rapture the Church. This is the character of a child of God who depends on Christ for every need in life. The child of God is aware of Christ and ready for Christ's return. The heart is prepared and watchful. Goodbye Devil...hello Jesus".

The life of a Christian, after forgiveness is found

2011-03-18T08:41:00.008-04:00

What is the life of a Christian "after" Salvation is found? It's a life of accountability to Christ. Every sin is forgiven and the heart is clean and right. The moral make-up is changed. The desire to live right is given. The believer in Christ has "God given power to do right". The soul is redeemed. The soul is regenerated and deemed Eternal Life rather than Eternal Damnation. The conscience is "free" from the guilt of sin. You "know" you have a future hope without doubt.

When forgiveness is found pardon and innocence sweeps through the heart, soul, and body. The believer "knows" that God forgave and pardoned. Inner peace is given and realized when forgiveness from God is granted to the human soul. Trust in the redemptive work of Christ is found and experienced. This experience means so much that the child of God doesn't desire wrongdoing or sinful living anymore. The Spirit life is a God-given life to live out the the life of a Christian. Christians are not Christians because they say they're Christians. Christians are Christians because they've been "morally changed by the Grace of God". Christians act like children of God not children of the Devil.

Christians experience forgiveness in the new birth. Forgiveness is when the life of disobedience and rebellion to God ceases. Forgiveness is the beginning of a new life in Christ. The conduct and character is changed. When forgiveness is found a better life can begin. It's called the life of a child of God. It's a life of victory over sin and right standing with God at all times. It's a life of no more boozing or no more carousing. It's a happy life of peace because Christ gave you peace with God. Peace with yourself, and peace with humanity. No more guilt, no more wrongdoing, and no more dirty living. It's a life given to Christ because you appreciate what Christ did for you personally. You realize that Christ suffered and died for you! You're given to Christ and accountable to Him. This life has meaning, character, and responsibility.

Yes, my Brothers and Sisters this is life "after" forgiveness is found in the person of Christ that saved you. It's a better life than sinful living. It's a better life because you're aware of your standing with Christ today. It's a better life because you have assurance and hope of your inheritance in Heaven. No more question about right standing. No more I think I'm saved. You know! You know! You know! Glory! You're sure because you have. Isn't that beautiful? think about it. It's called victory in Jesus!

P.S...A forgiven and holy life will keep you from running to the alter every week.

The error of what some people think Sanctification is

2011-03-09T12:23:00.005-05:00

Sanctification is not based on what we do. Sanctification is based on what we are. What is man? Man is a sinner by nature; a fallen being; and polluted with sin from birth. Sanctification has nothing to do with the new birth. The new birth only makes men eligible to be sanctified. Sanctification is not a progressive work performed by God as many people think. Sanctification is a completed and final work of the Spirit of God that "removes" the Adamic Nature from the life of a new born Christian. So often people want to believe sanctification is a process. Not so! It's the action of God's Grace that removes the Adamic Nature from the heart of man.

In relation to (2) types of sin (the sinful acts; and the sinful nature) an illustration can be drawn to show the vast difference between regeneration and sanctification. Regeneration is an initial work of the Spirit of God that takes place "after" man is Justified; and declared innocent by God from Heaven. Justification deals with the "acts of sin". Sanctification deals with the sinful nature inherited from the fall of Adam. A child is polluted with the Adamic Nature in the womb of is mother.

Man is rid from all sinful acts when Christ is trusted in and accepted for personal forgiveness found in Salvation that flows from Calvary. Regeneration of the human soul takes place when the new birth is found. The Adamic Nature still exists and tries to rule after regeneration. A regenerated man has power to do right, but the Old Nature still tries to rule. This Old nature that still tries to rule is only dealt with through Sanctification that is an instantaneous experience. The Bible terms this experience as the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. This work of the Spirit of God does not relate to forgiveness of sins it directly relates to the "removal" of the Adamic nature.

The (still existing) Adamic nature cannot be confessed because it is not an act of sin committed by man. The action of man's sins are only dealt with in the power of God's Justification by Grace. The nature of man's sin is dealt with only through the sanctifying power of God's Holy Spirit found in the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire (like on the day of Pentecost). This sanctifying work is not a progressive work but received right on the spot.

The two natures of man (divine and carnal) are not equal. Why? Greater is He in you...The divine nature gives the regenerated soul "power to do right". This God given power is what keeps the child of God from falling short or falling back into sin. Holiness of heart is found here. The Divine nature is the path to receive the sanctifying power of God that "rids" or "removes" the Adamic Nature from the life of a Christian. Sanctification is not a process or gradual separation from worldly things or dying to self. Sanctification takes place when the Indwelling Spirit of God "removes" and "rids" man from Indwelling Sin that still tries to rule a child of God.

The intent of this Blog is to clarify the "error" that many people think Sanctification is. Christians don't live to be Sanctified. Christians get sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost so they can really "live". The struggle of the carnal nature is removed in sanctification. The Old Man is buried and not shown anymore. Sanctification is found and experinced when the Adamic Nature is "destroyed". Read it in Romans 6:6! Don't be caught up in the error of understanding what Sanctification really is.

Four matters of importance...for the child of God...in these perilous times of 2011

2011-02-28T07:16:00.011-05:00

When we look around to what's going on around the globe in 2011, to our economic conditions in the US, and in the political world many things come to mind. What does the Bible say about these topics? Last night at the Upper Room I brought out few verses about what the Bible teaches on the following subjects:

Christians making Judgment...1 Cor 6:2-3...Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Christians praying for those in authority...1 Tim 2:1-3...I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Christians in subjection to civil government...Rom 13:1-4...Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Is capital punishment Biblical? Romans 13:4...For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Learn and stay true to God's Word. Steer clear of human opinions based on anger, resentment and bitterness. Obey God and do what is right in an unbelieving world. God is in control of every condition of life. He controls the weather, He controls the governments, and He has judged Satan already. He saves and sanctifies our lost loved ones. He is merciful and His love endureth forever. Be a faithful witness for Christ. My God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Get wrapped up in Christ the problem solver...not the problems of life. God knows what he's doing. He will never let you down.

Another testimony for Christ...prompted by Brother Hubert Lindsey

2011-02-20T16:59:00.005-05:00

This testimony was sent to the Churches on Trial Saturday by a dear sister in the Lord who was effected by Brother Lindsey's preaching. We encourage anyone touched by Brother Lindsey's ministry to bring forth their testimonies so they can be posted at this site for edification of other members of the body of Christ. May this beautiful Spirit led testimony bless you the reader, for the cause of Christ. At present all testimonies sent to this Blog are found at the Testimony label at the left side bar.

Rick Roehm
Author of the Churches on Trial

Abby B. testified:

I became acquainted with Hubert Lindsey about 20 years ago when my pastor gave one of his audio messages to our evangelism ministry. We were young and laughed at his style and bluntness, but the tape made a strong impression on all of us. Recently I was led to dig that message out of storage and listen again. I was struck by Mr. Lindsey's depth of understanding regarding Israel. In my search for more, I found Rick's blog.

No, Hubert Lindsey is not a "cult figure," as I saw that one man had dubbed him. But I'm at a loss to express just how much I've gained from listening to this man teach. Brother Lindsey's fearlessness before man, his lack of personal ambition, and his purity of heart were very valuable when it came to rightly dividing the scriptures. What believer in Christ would not want to hear the words of a man who would openly question any Church tradition that contradicted God's word? What sincere Christian would not want to listen to a man willing to be beaten to a pulp over and over by the radicals of his day as he preached the gospel to them? And what hungry soul would not want to hear the words of a man who led thousands of angry, rebellious youth into the Kingdom of God?.

And can I say a word about Brother Hubert's knowledge of scripture?. If we are going to claim that the Bible is the infallible word of God, we ought to know what it says. I don't know of anyone else in the world who memorized the entire New Testament; but Hubert did. You can downplay the importance of that all you want, but when Mr. Lindsey opened his mouth, out came the word of God. We are mostly unwilling to spend the time it takes for such endeavors, but he did it, and it reaped much fruit because the word of God does not return void. Lindsey took the time to study the Old Covenant with a former rabbi and teacher of theology, whom he led to Christ, so that he could better understand the New Covenant. I have personally gained a wealth of knowledge and understanding from his years of study.

Jesus Christ is our Lord and our everything. I wonder sometimes, how much could be gained for His kingdom, were a few others to be as willing to suffer as Hubert was? He was stabbed, shot, beaten many times ... spent long hours pouring over the scriptures. Hubert was willing to challenge the youth of his day with the depth of their depravity, so they could repent and come into the Kingdom of God.

Brothers and sisters, I urge you to listen to the valuable messages Brother Rick has posted. They are not always easy to understand, but those who are willing to listen carefully will be richly blessed.

In Christ,

Abby B.

Matthew 24...Hubert T. Lindsey (audio)

2011-02-14T09:42:00.007-05:00

In order to get a good understanding of this audio its important to understand that Jesus was born under Law, lived under Law, taught Law, and died under Law...until Grace flowed from Calvary. Secondly, Jesus preached the Kingdom message to Israel and never preached or commanded His disciples to preach to Gentiles or Samaritans. Jesus taught Salvation was for the Jew. He came to His own and His own received Him not. The Church was not existent during Christ's Earthly ministry. These points are important to know when studying the book of Matthew.

The Kingdom message Jesus preached dealt with "restoration". Restoration is what the Jew understood from Old Testament prophecy made by Isaiah, Joel, Daniel, etc. Many prophecies dealt with restoration and restoration dealt with the second coming of Christ. In order for God to "restore Israel " there first had to be Divine Judgment according to prophecy. This is the theme of Matthew 24...Judgment and Restoration.

Brother Lindsey clarifies Old Testament prophecy and shows the distinction between what applied to Israel and what applies to the Church today. This teaching takes away confusion that many are stumped on. This teaching on Matthew 24 will bring clarification as Brother Lindsey rightly divides God's Word.

Take notes on the excellent end times message about Christ's return to set up His Kingdom in Jerusalem... not to be confused with the Rapture of the Church! Study with an open ear to show yourself approved to God. Pause and start the player and use a Strong's concordance. Much, much knowledge about Christ's return in Divine Judgment contained on this 1 hour audio. Check it out!

New Testament Church (audio)...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-02-07T10:55:00.002-05:00

The following audio by Brother Lindsey is about what the Bible teaches about the New Testament Church. It contains Scriptural Truth that is not taught much in the mainstream. Listen to and study this one hour teaching on the doctrine of the New Testament Church and see what God reveals to your heart. It touches on the "Five fold ministry", "New Testament Church government", "New Testament order in the local church", and much more. As always Brother Lindsey centers his message on a living Christ in the Throneroom who "governs" His body, the Church through men subject to Him.

You who are called (audio)...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-02-07T09:41:00.004-05:00

The following audio by Brother Lindsey is an audio that brings clarity from the Bible about how Christ "calls" men and places them into the ministry. Brother Lindsey gets beyond the earthly realm of man's ways of doing things and teaches how Christ "puts" men in the ministry. Are you called by Christ? Have you found your calling from Christ? What does the Bible teach about being called? Brother Lindsey preached this material for you to further your understanding of God's word. May these Spirit filled teachings from Brother Lindsey help you find out what God wants you to do in your life...for the cause of Christ.

Holy Hubert Lindsey...(photos) preaching the Open Air

2011-02-03T07:37:00.008-05:00

I heard Brother Lindsey state many times that he had led "millions" to Christ from every walk of life. What a beautiful testimony! Since this Blog has been published I've had the marvellous privilege to personally converse with numerous people(from around the nation) who were affected or converted by Brother Lindsey's ministry for Christ. As a minister for Christ myself I've found it to be an honor and a very uplifting privilege to meet so many from around the world who have turned to Christ for personal Salvation. Glory!

These photos below were recently sent to me so I felt it appropriate to republish them in honor to Brother Lindsey's ministry for Christ. Thank you all for the uplifting testimonies that have sustained good Christian walks for so many years. Keep those testimonies coming in. The Churches on Trial Blog encourages all of you to share your testimonies for Christ as they bring honor the God of our Salvation. Your testimonies can be as effective for Christ as preached sermons. keep them coming!

A scriptural tid bit to our Jewish Brethren in the name of Yeshua

2011-02-01T09:16:00.008-05:00

This Blog is written for the glory of Yeshua. It was originated from the ministry of Hubert T. Lindsey who was inspired by a Rabbi (in whom he later won to Yeshua) and who taught the Bible from a Jewish perspective. I feel honored to have studied under Hubert Lindsey's ministry.

In my own encounters with the Jew I have noticed over the years that many run Old Testament prophecies to David rather than Yeshua. This is a great misapplication of scripture. Prophecies misapplied to David rather than Yeshua, take away from Biblical Truth that gives the child of God a deeper foundation of faith built on the Word of God.

Here's a beautiful Psalm (prophesied by David) that places light on both Yeshua and the Father... rather than the man David.

Ps 110:1...The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

The Lord said unto my Lord...The Father said unto Yeshua...David speaking and giving full attention to (2) Lords...both Lord's in Heaven. A prophetic glimpse of the enthronement of two Lord's reigning from Heaven and making "all" enemies their footstool.

During the days of Yeshua's ministry while Talmudic teaching dominated in Israel (from the Babylonian captivity) Yeshua challenged the Pharisee's about this same passage and misapplication of Holy Scripture. Talmudic teaching had subtly deviated from the prophetic truth about Yeshua contained in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. Yeshua (at the age of 31) knew this and openly confronted the Pharisee's about such injustice.

Matt 22:41-45...While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

Psalm 110:1 does not recognize either Lord to seen as an earthly son of David...or a man. Both Lords indicate deity in Heaven and not humanity on Earth. Neither Lord could have been David as David himself was speaking of (2) Lords in Heaven.

No one in the crowd or among the Pharisees could deny the truth of the Psalms that were written. No one in the crowd could deny Yeshua's challenge pointing to His own Messiahship. Truth prevailed! Scripture confirmed Scripture. All pointed to Yeshua who is and was behind Brother Lindsey's ministry and this Blog. Our intent is to glorify the name of Yeshua. Keep Him in your hearts and lives.

From the Churches on Trial I extend my love to everyone including our Jewish Brethren around the globe. Thank you for stopping by and sharing the Prophetic Truth of the Word of God.

Wrath of the Lamb...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-01-22T18:55:00.006-05:00

This excellent end time teaching by Brother Lindsey from John's book of Revelation focus's primarily on the wrath of God during the Great Tribulation. It describes how the wrath of God is ministered upon the Earth for seven years in preparation for Christ's promised return with all His saints. This audio describes the devastation, destruction, and renovation on Earth in preparation for God's promised Eternal Kingdom. Then comes the Divine Judgment of Christ, the wrath of the Lamb in flaming fire with vengence as He prepares Earth for His 1000 year reign with all His saints. Enjoy this beautiful 1 hour audio on John's Revelation of Christ.

Satan's Kingdom falls...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-01-22T18:22:00.011-05:00

This excellent end time study by Brother Hubert Lindsey comes from the Book of Revelation and pertains to the rise and fall of Satan's Dominion on earth after the Rapture of the Church. This prophetic audio touches on the Anti-Christ, the false Prophet, the Beast Kingdom, the battle of Armageddon, and all adverse conditions that are destroyed by Christ under the reign of Satan during the seven year Tribulation.

Brother Lindsey describes in depth how Satan is defeated by Christ at this period of time...according to the truth of the Prophets and the Holy Scriptures. Enjoy this fascinating 1 hour End Time audio that highlights the fulfillment of Daniel's Prophecy and John's prediction made in the Book of Revelation.

Women and Angels...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-01-22T16:57:00.006-05:00

This excellent audio by Brother Lindsey that expounds on the 1 Corinthian letter chapter 11 defines women, the cutting of hair, the wearing of the Vail, and the womans relation to Angels. This teaching is an unusual teaching in relation to both Judaism and Pagan religions that were predominate under the Roman Empire during that day and hour in Corinth. There is much fascinating Biblical knowledge contained within this one hour teaching by Hubert T. Lindsey.

Speaking in tongues...Hubert T. Lindsey...(2 CD's)

2011-01-22T16:26:00.004-05:00

This audio on the subject of "Speaking in Tongues" by Brother Hubert Lindsey goes hand in hand with blessing of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. Brother Lindsey was a former Baptist who did not lean to this doctrine or persuasion during the early years of his ministry, but after clarification came from the Word of God Brother Lindsey's doctrinal position changed. This radical change after 30 years in the ministry came after the Word of God revealed truth and later led Brother Lindsey to receive the sanctifying power of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. Review this excellent commentary with an open heart and allow the Spirit God to reveal the truth of God's Word.

Born of Water...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-01-21T12:42:00.004-05:00

On this teaching audio Brother Lindsey expounds on the passage in Saint John chapter 3...where Jesus spoke of being born of the water and of the Spirit. Brother Lindsey clarifies being "born" relates to being "delivered" in the Greek text. He goes on to clarify how this passage relates to Israel passing through the Red Sea and of course how man can be "born of the Spirit of God". Deliverance by God is the object of this beautiful teaching from the Jewish perspective that makes no reference to Water Baptism. Enjoy the 1 hour content of this great teaching.

Babylonian Religion...Hubert T. Lindsey

2011-01-21T11:57:00.011-05:00

The following teaching on Baylonian Religion is a condensed End Time prophecy by Hubert T. Lindsey that defines false religions, deceptions, and self sufficiency.

Commentary on Water Baptism...Hubert T. Lindsey...(4 CD's)

2011-01-20T09:12:00.010-05:00

This commentary by Hubert T. Lindsey on the subject of Water Baptism is the most thorough and exhaustive commentary you will ever find in our modern religious Age. It's contents are condensed from (4) audio recordings collected over a period of 70 years and placed onto (4) separate audio players that are now published on the Internet for edification of the body of Christ. Each audio player contains a wealth of Biblical knowledge in each one hour setting... but the overall study (4 hours) on Water Baptism is not complete unless you review all four one hour audio segments.

The foundation of Water Baptism comes from the laws of purification taught in the the Old Testament records. Having been tutored by a Jewish Rabbi for 15 years Brother Lindsey is able to unfold and explain with clarity the many reasons why so many denominations go separate directions on the how, when, and why Water Baptism in our modern Age. Brother Lindsey uses the Greek Text of the Bible to define the many various modes of Water Baptism. Distinction will be made between the Spirit's Baptism into Christ, The Baptism with the Holy Ghost and Fire in sanctification, and various modes of water Baptism performed by men, like sprinkling, pouring, immersion, for remission of sins, public confession, infant baptism for removal of Original Sin, etc.

Enjoy your study that is easily available for in length and in depth review. Take all the time you want to study this teaching. May the Spirit of God minister truth and confirmation to your heart and soul about the Blessing of God's Grace and Bible truth about Water Baptism. Thanks for stopping by the Churches on Trial Blog. It is a blog dedicated to Brother Hubert Lindsey and his life as a servant and minister for Christ.

God's Theocracy...Hubert T. Lindsey...(a systematic Theology)

2011-01-16T08:18:00.014-05:00

Hubert Lindsey was a street preacher but he was also a great Theologian and Bible scholar with 74 years in the ministry. Brother Lindsey ministerd in the Spirit and not from human intellect or the wisdom of men. He taught Divine Wisdom and always kept Christ in the center of his teaching. You will find this 6 audio series very fascinating.

The following teaching on God's Theocracy on (6 audio players in sequence) contain one of the greatest systems of Theology I've ever encountered in my Christian walk in 24 years. These 6 different audio recordings break down the many ways God ministered to the human family, in creation, in the days of Adam, in the days of Noah, in the days of Abraham, at the giving of Law on Mt. Sinai, during Christ's earthly ministry, under Grace now, in the Rapture, and during the Millennial reign of Christ.

This series of teachings shows the Sovereign Reign of God and His plan for Christ the Saviour in all different dispensations past tense, present tense, and future tense. This systematic Theology teaches about God's enlightenment to humanity concerning His Divine law, before the Law of Moses was given on Mt. Sinai and now since the Law of Moses was abolished through the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

These 6 players of 1 hour teachings in dispensational sequence...if studied with a concordance can offer a lifetime of Bible knowledge and clairification to anyone who desires to know the truth of God's Word. They are vast in Bible knowledge. They are a must for all students of God's Word. They unfold and clairify many controversial subjects in the Bible when studied out. They contain a lifetime of Biblical knowledge.

I appreciate Brother Lindsey's labor for Christ. God is still continuing to use this ministry on this Blog to continue taking this great teaching around the globe into "all" the world. God Bless you all for stopping by this Blog. Study God's Word and let God build within you a better foundation of Faith...all based on the truth of God's Word. Don't forget...each player below has a title menu and can be shared...E-mailed...or downloaded.

Christ, “Thy Seed”…according to the promise of God

2011-01-10T14:08:00.003-05:00

This exposition is primary focused on a Biblical promise that God gave about a coming Messiah who was foretold to be…“Thy Seed”. Thy seed pertains to a promise that God made to Abraham and the Hebrew nation in many chapters in the book of Genesis. This promise of Christ to be “Thy Seed” given from God to Abraham…was given at a period of time 430 years before the Law of Moses was given to Israel. Genesis 22 is only one of many promises made by God about, “Thy Seed”, Christ.

Gen 22:17-18…That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in “thy seed” shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

In God’s promise of “thy seed” it was stated that all the nations of Earth would be blessed. All nations of the Earth included the entire nation of Israel and the entire Gentile world. All nations speak of the entire human family. This is the prophetic picture here. This direct promise from God, given to Abraham (before the Law), was confirmed to be Christ by the Apostle Paul in the records of the Galatian Epistle.

Gal 3:16…Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to “thy seed, which is Christ”.

Notice Paul said not to seeds (plural)…but to Christ, “Thy seed” (singular). Within the person of Christ came the Church, the body of Christ, the Grace dispensation, and the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit under the New Covenant we now live in. In the New Testament records Christ “Thy seed” was considered to be a blessing upon both the Jewish nation and the Gentile nation. This blessing was the Holy Spirit’s omnipresence in the Church Age that made both Jew and Gentile “one” in “Thy seed” ….Christ.

Gal 3:27-29…For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Notice Paul said believers today in the Church Age are baptized into Christ and thus become Abraham’s seed and heirs of the promise God made to Abraham. If you look back to the period of time when God promised His blessing to be upon Abraham and his chosen people, the Hebrew nation it was 430 years before the Law of Moses was given. God gave this called out people (The Hebrew nation) a promised land. God gave this called out people (The Hebrew nation) a covenant that was sealed by a physical circumcision in the flesh. Circumcision of the flesh separated this chosen people from the rest of humanity. All this was a miniature picture of God’s Promises of the land and complete restoration on the Earth for His elect, Israel.

God’s covenant relationship with His elect and chosen people by promise, allowed Him to keep a perfect genealogy that would bring forth the Son of God…Christ. This in turn would bring forth the promised Messiah (Thy Seed), according the pre-determined plan, purpose, and will of God for the Jew first and also the Gentile. Abraham by faith trusted the promises God. Abraham by faith had glimpse and future hope of “Thy Seed Christ” to be the promised Messiah.

Many Old Testament promises of Christ were concealed in Torah but were actually confirmed when Christ came. These promises were later confirmed and written about in the New Testament Epistles by the holy Apostles and Prophets under the Grace covenant and the power of a resurrected Christ. Confirmation of the promised “seed, Christ” concealed in the Torah were given to Abraham and passed down to Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, etc. These promises gave hope to Abraham and his offspring for the coming of a promised Messiah (Thy Seed) who would bless all the families on the Earth. Notice how God said He would “bless” all the families of the Earth.

Gen 12:2-3…And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

The blessing of Christ (Thy seed) is what allowed God’s Grace to come upon the Gentiles at present. The promise of the omnipresence of Spirit of God flowed from the cross at Calvary. The Law of Moses was abolished and those who were afar off (Gentiles) were made nigh by the Blood of Christ. Those promises came through the Hebrew nation. Christ (Thy Seed) was promised in many of the Old Testament records. Those promises were not limited to the Old Testament only! Today Christians by faith (Jew and Gentile) are just as much entitled to God’s promises as Abraham was. Why? Because God promised “Thy seed” in the Torah but fulfilled that promise when Christ died and ascended to Heaven where He sent down His Holy Spirit to be in the Church today. The Blessing of Abraham's promise from God thus came upon the Gentiles.

Gal 3:7, 8…Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Gal 3:14…for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Additional food for thought.

• Christ was also foretold to be the seed of a woman in Genesis 3:15.
• When the fulness of time came Christ was made of a woman and made under law Gal. 4:4.
• Christ was conceived and born of a virgin and had no earthly Father.
• Christ was God’s seed and not the seed of a natural man.
• Christ was “Thy Seed” that blessed all the families on Earth through His death, burial, and resurrection.

Where Flowers Grow

2011-01-03T10:41:00.005-05:00

Under the grave
No flowers grow
Within the heart
No love dost know

Above the earth
Sunlight abides
Reach out and choose
His arms are wide

I could not choose
For I was dead
Sins, trespasses
Lay o'er my head

Layers of sin
Around did coil
Til thrusting Word
Dug up the soil

Forgiveness rained
Upon my soul
Lifting me from
Death's darkened hole

He covered me
In purest white
Redeeming blood
Of darkest night

Breathed into me
His Spirit's light
Opened my eyes
And gave me sight

Above the grave
Where flowers grow
Within my heart
Thy love I know

The greatest indictment in the Bible

2010-12-26T15:12:00.005-05:00

Rom 3:9-13...for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips

This great indictment and very important Bible Truth is a necessary subject for any student of the Bible to know and understand. This great indictment is a Biblical accusation made against fallen man who is criminal in the eyes of God. God's Word from Genesis to Revelation teaches why man is criminal in the eyes of God. Why man is rebellious against the will of God. Why man is a violater of Divine Law. Why man naturally "rejects" Christ; and why behind every sin that man commits is "rejection" of the Lord Jesus Christ.

These many issues are taught in the Word of God and that's the reason why the Apostle Paul compared fallen man to the light of the holy presence of Christ...in all of his preaching. Paul preached Christ and manifested the power of God's Grace. The Apostle Paul in all of his letters made this great contrast between fallen man and the power and glory of the supremacy of Christ. When a comparison is taught between fallen man and the revelation of Christ, man see's himself as he really is. Man see's his fallen void and emptiness. Man see's his rebellious nature that shows him he's an enemy against God. Man in light of Christ see's himself out of harmony with God. Thus he realizes his need for a Saviour.

The Apostle Paul was a converted Jew with knowledge of the fact that Jew's violated the Law of Moses, but Paul also indicted the Gentiles who were also accountable to God by their own conscience. Paul realized all men, both Jew and Gentile were "under sin". Notice the language, "under sin" which implied the carnal nature dominated the heart of man.

What is man? What is the nature of man? How does the Bible define the human being and the human make-up? The Bible teaches the make-up of a whole man is spirit, soul, and body. Within this human make-up and human being is the inherited fallen nature of man that controls the whole man...spirt, soul, and body. What controls the spirit man? What controls the soul of man? What controls the body of man? Within the human make-up you have the mind, the will, the intellect, the thinking, the understanding, the reasoning, etc. All these faculties of the mental process are part of the human make-up. The Bible teaches these faculties are inclined to sin, inclined to reject Christ, inclined to rebell against God, inclined to live unholy, inclined to do wrong, etc.

Notice the following Bible language of the King James version...
Men are under sin
Men are servants to sin
Man is carnal sold under sin
Man is born disobedient because of Adam's sin
Scoffers are "willingly" ignorant...showing the human will is controlled by sin
Men have the deceitfulness of sin within their being
Men have the deceivableness of unrighteousness and receive not the love of the truth
The mind is "blinded" with sin
Human understanding "darkened"
Man is without strength
Men are enemies against God..rebellious by nature...rejecters of Christ
No man is good...no not one

There is no goodness found in the heart of any man. The heart is...polluted with, tainted with sin, and morally corrupt. When you realize that the carnal nature has this much dominion over you...you can then see why man's choices, decisions, and intentions can seem right but still fall short of the Grace of God. Human effort can fail. God's Grace will never fail.

Paul knew about the whole being of man and the entire human make-up. Paul realized that man's natural charcter was controlled by the carnal nature that "compells" man to sin against God.

1 Cor 2:14...But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

A natural man (without God) is lawless by nature. Rebellious by nature. Carnal by nature. Why? Carnal is the make-up of fallen mans nature. The rebelliousness and lawlessnes of fallen man is what Paul was bringing these charges against. This indictment in Roman's 3 brought charges against fallen man... both Jew and Gentile. Why did Paul accuse the whole human family of being guilty in eyes of God. Because man is morally corrupt and sinful. The will is tainted by the fallen nature. The choices are intended to be right but man still does wrong. Why does man choose to do right and still do wrong? He's controlled by indwelling sin which the Bible defines as a carnal and corrupt nature.

Rom 3:9-13...for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips

Why does God's word say there is none righteous? Because "self" cannot make man righteous. Why don't men understand God? The natural man cannot receive or know about the spiritual things of God. Men don't seek God because they are self seekers. Men cannot go the way of God without God's Grace. God's ways and man's ways are opposite. Men do things "unprofitable" in effort to acheive, to advance toward, or to acomplish God's favor. No man can do good without Christ beause there is no good found in the carnal heart of man. The heart of man is filthy in the eyes of God...so likewise man's tongue and words are filthy also.

Paul made this great indictment against fallen man because he knew how desperately man needs to be saved from the bondage of sin, and liberated from the Devils nature. The Gospel message about who Christ is and what Christ is doing brings the Grace of God to a lost and morally corrupt world. The power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ breaks the yoke of bondage caused from man's siful nature. This power of Divine Grace "gives freedom to the human soul of a believer in Christ". For the first time...man can do right because he's made right by the Grace of God. Man can be holy because he's made holy by the Grace of God. Holiness and righteousness of heart are given when man accepts the person of Christ.

2 Cor 4:3-4...But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Christ "breaks" the human will from rebellion to obedience. Christ turns the attitude of rejection to acceptance. God declares man to "be" righteous and to "do" right. Believers in Christ are led by the Spirit. The human will is taken out of the picture by the Grace of God. We are so blessed to live in this Church Age where Christ performs the greatest of miracles...the "new birth". This blessing and miracle of the new birth found in the Grace of God qualifies man to be baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire...that sanctifies the heart of man from all carnality. Yes, my brother the Grace of God can purify your heart from "all" carnality even as Christ is pure. God's Grace has the power to do it!

Compare God's Grace with Paul's indictment against fallen man and you will see Christ. Compare yourself with Christ and you will either see your need to be forgiven or your need crucified from self. Read the Roman letter in chapter three and ponder this great indictment against fallen man. May it bless your heart and life with Christ.

Holy Hubert Lindsey MP3's

Genuine Salvation?

2010-12-14T14:58:00.030-05:00

A genuinely saved man will not just "quit" wrong to be saved, he we quit wrong because he's saved. He's a new creation made by Christ. He's saved by Grace. He's justified by Grace. He experiences righteousness by faith. Every sin is forgiven and the heart is clean and holy in the eyes of God. There's no more "rejection" of Christ, but acceptance and trust with an everyday consciousness to Christ's Divine presence and authority. There's a transformation made where the clean heart provides a means for the believer to live without sin. I know this state of being is not experienced by everyone, but the fact of the fact of the matter is, "Everybody is not genuinely saved".

Genuine Salvation prepares the heart of man for a future Judgment. Every genuinely saved man knows there will be a Judgment day. Every genuinely saved man knows he's saved from wrath of God in Eternal Judgment and every sin is forgiven. A saved man knows holiness of heart and conduct is essential in the life of a believer in Christ. Belief is consent of the human will to God. Belief understands the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross. Belief is enlightenment to the person of a living Christ. Belief brings God's Salvation into the human soul and it becomes a way of life. This is how God prepares a man's heart and soul for the coming of Christ in Judgment. The heart is clean and ready to caught up to meet with Christ in the air. Genuine Salvation causes man to "look" for the return of Christ to call out the Church from Great Tribulation.

It's obvious that genuine Salvation is missed by so many people in this modern religious era. This is so sad and hard for some to acknowledge as the time of Christ's return draws closer and closer. More and more people are turning away from the truth in this fast paced society we live in. The Bible speaks of this unholy crowd. It calls this unholy crowd, "those who perish". Those who perish are deceived by sin as they are overtaken and smothered in unrighteous and unclean living in the eyes of God. Those who perish miss Christ. They reject His love of the truth. They miss the experience of genuine Salvation in a lost world waiting for Christ's glorious return. Because of this unholy and unrighteous state of man...God is going to send upon this crowd that finds pleasure in sin...a strong delusion. This crowd will become so deceived that they become delirious believing in something false. Some even find so much pleasure in their deception they can never come back to God. Their souls are damned for Eternity.

2 Thess 2:10-12...And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Look around today at the people who reject the truth about holiness and right living that only comes from Christ. They reject God's Truth about a Saviour recorded in His Holy Scripture. They reject the fact that Jesus can cleanse the heart from "all" sin. How are these people who are so overtaken with the "deceivableness of unrighteous living" going to be prepared for Christ's coming and His Divine Judgment? What are these people hanging onto? What are these people trusting in? Are these people who are going to perish simply believing in a lie? Yes. This lie becomes so overwhelming that it takes over their hearts and lives. The root of the lie is believing that Christians can continue in sin and live a life in unrighteousness...no matter what the Bible says. It's happening now! People are so wrapped up in everything but truth, they are consumed and overtaken by the "deceivableness of unrighteousness".

This Salvation I write about is genuine Salvation. Have you got it? If you have, Glory! If you don't have it get it now before its to late. Don't let religion or tradition or human opinion cause you to miss the truth about Christ and Christian living. Get your heart right today through genuine Salvation that comes from Christ our Saviour and Redeemer. Glory! Don't wait! Today is the day of Salvation!

Are you led by the Spirit of God?

2010-12-13T13:44:00.002-05:00

Someone might ask,"What does it mean to be led by the Spirit of God?" You mean to tell me that the Spirit of God can direct the way I act? Direct the way I behave and direct the way I conduct myself in this life? Yes. Children of God act godly and holy because the moral make-up is changed by the Grace of God. The Spirit leads a man so God can fulfill His purpose in your life.

Rom 8:14...For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

So, why doesn't the Spirit of God lead everybody? Reason? Everyone is not "born of the Spirit". You mean to tell me that I must be born of the Spirit to be led by the Spirit? Yes. That's what Jesus meant when He said that men must be born of the Spirit or simply born again.

John 3:6-7...That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

To be born again does not imply a natural or physical birth. To be born again does not imply a natural moral change made by man himself. To be born again means to be birthed by the Spirit of God into a new creation by the Spirit of Holiness. The moral character is changed by the Grace of God. The Spirit of God leads a morally changed man "in the life of holiness" not "into the life of holiness". The new birth consists of a place where the heart and soul is cleansed from sin and forgiveness from all past sins is found in the human conscience. The new birth is a regenerating work of the Spirit of God that morally shows man that the past is gone. The slate is wiped clean from a past life of unholiness and filthy living. The sins are blotted out and this new creation desires to live and act like a child of God...not a child of the Devil like you used to be. Holiness is enacted in the human soul when Saving Grace is experienced.

To be led by the Spirit of God is a great privilege that world cannot share. To be led by the Spirit of God will allow you to glorify Christ in your body and and Spirit. The leading of the Spirit makes men witnesses for Christ in both word and deed. The Spirit "leads" and "guides" the child of God into all truth. Jesus told the disciples about the great blessing of the Spirit of God that would flow from the cross at Calvary.

John 16:13...Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth

Being led of the Spirit allows God to fulfill His purpose in your life. Glory! God wants to fulfill His purpose in the life of every child of God. Being led of the Spirit allows God to do this very work. The Holy Spirit is a believers comfort that the unbelieveing world cannot experience, cannot see, or cannot know. When you know, when you believe, and when you obey God...The Spirit of Truth will abide with you forever as Jesus said He would.

John 14:16-17...And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

The Spirit of God establishes, touches, and directs the hearts of those who are "led" by the Spirit of God. Those led by the Spirit of God look and wait patiently for the coming of Christ.

2 Thess 3:3-5...But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you, And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ

Gifted men from the Throneroom...Hubert Lindsey

2010-12-08T08:47:00.006-05:00

A while back I posted a sister sermon to the post today titled, "Miracles from the Throneroom". This sister sermon was preached at the same Church meeting in Glascow Ky. 1983.

Gifted men from the Throneroom is another sermon by Brother Lindsey that highlights what the Bible really teaches about Christ's ordination and His giving of gifts to men from the Throneroom to carry the Gospel and to do the service of the ministry. This is a present tense ministry. In other words this ministry applies to Now! It's not according to denominational stance but according to God's Word.

These timeless teachings of Brother Hubert Lindsey are not taught today in the mainstream; however Christ still governs His Church from the Throneroom. Christ still gives gifts to men from the Throneroom. Christ still rules today from the Throneroom. The Bible says so!

That's the purpose of this ministry and this Blog. To stir you to study the Bible and not be locked in on the words or opinions of men. What does the Bible really teach about gifted men? Does Christ really give men gifts? The Bible says so but don't take my word for it! Research it! Study the Bible and see what God says about these matters! God will show you. The Spirit will confirm it in your heart. I once heard Brother Lindsey say," One of the biggest regrets he ever had in life was not teaching this stuff sooner and in the earlier years of his ministry".

In the latter part of Hubert Lindsey's ministry he recorded these sermons and teachings for the edifcation of others to do the service of the Lord. He spend endless hours recording and capturing these teachings on audio recordings for future use. After Brother Lindsey passed God put it on this writers heart to continue this ministry as both Hubert and God so willed. So, If you think you have a calling in your life, for the cause of Christ, research these teachings closely and search the scriptures. God may reveal something to your heart and soul.

As we continue to archive Brother Lindsey's teaching material for the cause of Christ enjoy the teachings at this Blog. It is our desire to keep publicizing the complete library of Hubert Lindsey in this ministry. Enjoy the sermon.

May the God of our Salvation richly bless you with His great Truths of the Bible.

Holy Hubert's fellowship with the suffering of Christ

2010-12-06T14:53:00.011-05:00

The following Blog is an excerpt from the Hubert Lindsey biography or possible documentary that I hope to publicize someday...

During the turbulent years of Holy Hubert's ministry on the West Coast (in the 70's) Brother Lindsey was injured numerous times by riotous crowds and anti-war protestors. Brother Lindsey considered his suffering strictly a result of the Gospel he preached. Within those riotous mob crowds were certain groups such as members of the Hell’s Angel’s motorcycle group, the Manson family, and members of the Black Panther Movement. As a result of anti-war protestors and mob crowds Hubert was injured over 100 times in one year for the cause of Christ. His wife Phoebe was also physically and mentally injured during that period of time. As a result of those beatings Hubert had lost his eyesight twice however; he was marvelously healed by Christ once. He then became blind again in the mid 1970’s and remained blind throughout the latter years of his ministry until he died. Hubert always confessed that Christ was going to heal those blind eyes again, the second time!

Blindness never affected Brother Lindsey’s preaching for 29 years because he had almost the entire Bible memorized. He could preach endlessly and explain in detail verses, chapters, and books from the Bible with very little intellect or effort. Hubert’s memory was indescribable! His memory allowed him to live up to the nickname, “The Walking Bible.” It’s hard to comprehend but Hubert’s memory of the Bible and ministry of the Spirit allowed him to captivate people’s attention and interest for the cause of Christ. Brother Lindsey would preach Christ in the Spirit and impact hearts and souls with the power of God’s Divine Grace.

Even though Hubert suffered and was beaten numerous times by an ungodly and riotous people he always came back time and time again with love in his heart preaching Christ. Love enabled Brother Lindsey to keep preaching Christ even to those who beat him. His return to that crowd only magnified the true love of God in the heart of a man commissioned to do a work for Christ. Hubert would modestly tell those who hurt him, “I will love you until the end” and he meant every word he spoke.

Any one that knew Brother Lindsey knew his amiable spirit, his compassion for the sinner, and how much he loved humanity. Brother Lindsey never deviated from the love God put in his heart! He hated sin but loved the sinner! Hubert’s love was heartfelt and truly proven by his action as a Christian! His love for humanity even for those who beat him was a testimony for Christ that spoke by his example. Love for God and love for humanity, even for those who beat him is just another reason why Hubert Lindsey was nick named, “Holy Hubert”. Only a true man of God could have a heart to love those who beat him and still not gripe or hold a grudge against them. Brother Lindsey never wavered from his love for man or for Christ. He walked in love as he made himself an offering for the Christ he served.

• Eph 5:2…And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.

Hubert suffered from opposition because his holiness preaching conflicted with the fallen nature of man. Hubert’s compassion toward fallen man allowed him to understand why men “reject” Christ and why men reject Christ’s messengers. Hubert’s love allowed him to love those who rejected him. Hubert Lindsey understood that the fellowship of suffering he experienced for Christ made him conformable unto Christ’s death. Brother Lindsey’s fellowship of suffering allowed him to understand why he was sometimes hated, why he was sometimes rejected, and why he was often misunderstood for the Christ he served. Resurrection power from God helped Holy Hubert Lindsey to endure suffering for the cause of Christ like the Apostle Paul wrote about in his Epistles.

• Phil 3:10-15…That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Hubert expounded on the above verse with much clarity. He used the Greek text of the Bible to explain how that resurrection, can mean being resurrected “out from among the dead”. Resurrection in Philippians 3:10-15 implies a resurrection without dying! Entire Sanctification which was the heart of Brother Lindsey’s Gospel, is the Spiritual work of the resurrection power of God in the heart and life of a Christian, “On this side of Heaven”. Like the Apostle Paul, Holy Hubert Lindsey taught that a sanctified man can deal with suffering for the cause of Christ because Christ suffered. A sanctified man who preaches holiness knows Christ; knows the power of Christ's resurrection; and knows the fellowship of Christ's suffering.

As many of you have already found out there are many details about Holy Hubert Lindsey's opposition and suffering for Christ’s sake that will surface throughout this biography. This writer’s expectations are with hope to clarify how Brother Lindsey’s fellowship of suffering was made perfect in the eyes of God. Holy Hubert Lindsey had a servant’s heart that allowed him to be conformable unto Christ’s death. Hubert gave himself as Christ gave himself. Hubert Lindsey ministered Christ to any one and to every one who would hear. He preached the Open Air for Christ, many years. Holy Hubert’s main objective in life was to get people to Christ's Salvation of the human soul. The sanctified life that Brother Lindsey experienced was the source of power and strength that helped him to endure suffering like all other Apostles suffered before him.

I'll close with these words by the Apostle Peter.

• 1 Peter 4:13-14…But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

Hubert Lindsey's Baptist realization of the power of Divine Grace, "after" Justification

2010-11-30T15:24:00.004-05:00

The Baptist denomination strongly advocates the initial invitation and acceptance of Christ in Salvation but that’s as far as they take the Christian experience! Baptist’s emphasize Salvation of the human soul but do not advocate the cleansed heart, the life of holiness, and the believers obedience to God that follows after one recieves the forgivness sins from Christ. The doctrine of Regeneration through the Spirit; Justification by faith; and the new birth where a divine nature is received… are taught under the Baptist persuasion. The doctrine of Entire Sanctification through the Baptism with the Holy Ghost is not! This experience is what Hubert Lindsey claimed he had missed for 26 years as a Calvinist.

Contrary to many denominational beliefs (not just Baptist), the Bible teaches that Entire Sanctification comes in another Baptism which is the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. The Baptism with the Holy Ghost is not a baptism into Christ where a new nature is received through the new birth experience. The baptism with the Holy Ghost is a baptism from Christ in Heaven that cleanses the believer’s heart from a still existing Old Adam that conflicts with the Divine nature received in the new birth. God revealed to Brother Lindsey another baptism through the work of the Holy Spirit that was not Water Baptism by immersion. Brother Lindsey claimed he baptized 9000 people. This particular baptism I speak of pertained to the Spirit’s work of Sanctification that destroys the carnal heart. This is the experience that Brother Lindsey had always claimed he was missing. It was a baptism that a believer receives after the new birth! Hubert then realized that Water Baptism through the ages had pulled men away from understanding the sanctifying power of the Pentecostal experience! The Pentecostal experience is a Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire performed by Christ upon a believer… not a sinner! The Baptism with the Holy Ghost has no relation to water Baptism by immersion performed by a preacher.

The purpose of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire does not deal with the new nature received after God justifies a sinner. God’s declaration of Justification deals with a penitent man! The sanctifying power of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost deals with the old nature that still exists in the life of the penitent believer after God’s Justification is declared! God revealed this to Hubert’s thinking! Hubert realized where he missed it!

The Bible teaches that any believer can receive the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire... in this life. This Baptism takes away the process of getting sanctified in heaven after you die! Sanctification performed by Christ from the Throneroom is not performed by a preacher through any act of water baptism. John the Baptist spoke of sanctification when he said, Christ would baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire”. Contrary to the Baptist doctrine and Calvinism God showed Hubert there was more for the believer that followed the new birth. God confirmed to Hubert Lindsey the Sanctifying work of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. This final work of the Holy Spirit in the heart of a believer is called Entire Sanctification.

The Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire and the truth of the New Testament records had finally got Hubert Lindsey’s full attention. God had been showing Hubert Lindsey how to get self out of the way for years. All Hubert had to do was to let go of the old Hubert and let God take over! Hubert realized if he got out of the way the truth of Entire Sanctification through the Spirit would destroy the old Hubert! He claimed he learned this from the Word of God. As a matter of fact his whole Theology was destroyed also. He had to re-learn the Bible from this perspective.

The Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire spoken of by John the Baptist and Jesus himself was now brought to full revelation upon Hubert Lindsey’s thinking after being a Baptist for 26 years. The beauty of this revelation was this Baptism is a baptism that destroyed a still existing fallen nature in the life of Hubert Lindsey. Hubert was unsettled on that truth for many years! God wanted to destroy what Hubert Lindsey contemplated in his thinking for 26 years. On the human side the struggle with self that came from the Old man in Hubert Lindsey’s life was crucified. Through the Spirit's work of Sanctification the Adamic nature that existed in the life of Hubert Lindsey was destroyed through the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire.

• Rom 6:6… Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

After being entirely sanctified the Holy Spirit renewed Hubert. Everything in his theology was changed. Everything in his thinking was changed. God delivered Hubert from the Devil’s prison house. After being a Baptist for 26 years Entire Sanctification from the Old Hubert was found to be the missing link. Within that missing link the foundation of the Word in Hubert’s heart had been misconceived and taken out of its proper context. Confusion from the Baptist teaching and practice was a result in Hubert’s mind. Hubert realized the doctrine of "once save always saved" had been hindering the fullness of Salvation for years in his personal life. This fullness of Salvation and change of theology that was given to Hubert’s heart only came through the Sanctifying power of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire.

One night in the basement of the little Methodist Church Hubert died to self and asked God to sanctify his heart entire. Through Hubert Lindsey’s brokenness Christ filled him with the Holy Ghost and fire that night! As a result Hubert was sanctified from the Old man and spoke in unknown tongues as taught in the Bible. Contrary to the Baptist doctrine Hubert was doing something very much scriptural and realized why. That night God confirmed the truth in Hubert Lindsey’s heart and soul. Hubert realized this Biblical gift from the Holy Spirit did not cease at the Early Church as he had always been taught. The result was Hubert’s entire Calvinistic and Baptist theology went straight down the drain. Hubert Lindsey was filled with the Holy Ghost and preached Entire Sanctification the rest of his life as a preacher for Christ.

Christ’s Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire God made Hubert Lindsey a living witness to the fact that God can deliver any man from the Old Adam. Hubert realized traditional teachings and denominational teachings were not teaching the truth about Entire Sanctification as the Bible teaches. Deliverance from the Old Adam only comes upon a believer when he dies and receives the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. Many modern denominational teachings miss that very blessed experience. Hubert never went back to his old Theology nor did he ever quit teaching the truth about Entire Sanctification as long as he lived. Revivals were birthed many times throughout Hubert’s ministry as result of preaching Entire Sanctification and the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. By the Grace of God Hubert’s uncompromising efforts were never in vain as peoples hearts and lives were changed under his ministry and that teaching. This writer and other disciples who were touched by Brother Lindsey’s ministry still carry on the doctrine of Entire Sanctification today.

The recent audio I posted (in the link below) about Brother Lindsey's experience with the "Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire" will confirm this Blog.

A testimony of the Grace of God from Ireland

2010-11-24T12:42:00.011-05:00

As all of you know this Blogsite, Brother Hubert Lindsey, and this writer all magnify the Grace of God above all things. We teach the victory of living under Grace and not the bondage of living under the Law. Recently I wrote and published a Blog at ChristianBlog.com titled,

Man struggled to keep the Law of Moses. Calvary took away that struggle

You may read it at the above link if you wish. It was a nice Blog that magnified the Grace of God. A dear sister in the Lord "Bethy" from Ireland was touched by the Blog and made the following comment. With her permission I felt the urgency to publish this beautiful comment that magnified a touch of God's Grace. So, I'm posting her comment at this Blog. May all of you be blessed by this beautiful testimony by Bethy, from Ireland.

When I waken in the morning I do not have to wonder how I will keep the law so as to keep close to Christ. I no longer have to fret over every thought in my head, and wonder if that thought is the one that will damn me forever.

I don't have to work at making myself acceptable to God, for through His Grace I am acceptable to Him in Christ. To me that is the big difference in living under the law and living under grace.
I look at my own life and realise that under the law I could never have become acceptable to this Holy and Merciful God. For the law only highlights my failings and my shortcomings.

May God bless you as you tell others of the Grace of God, for in understanding grace we can understand more our need for it.

Oh the love that
Drew salvation's plan,
Oh the grace that
Brought it down to man,
Oh the mighty gulf
That God did span
At calvary.

The more I understand His grace, the deeper I fall in Love with Him. The more I understand this grace, the more I cannot fathom Why he would love me as he does.. Yet he does and its all because of grace.

(Beth tiddles off singing Amazing grace how sweet the sound)

Miracles from the Throneroom... by Brother Hubert T. Lindsey

2010-11-19T15:44:00.006-05:00

The following service was recorded in Glascow Kentucky in a local church in 1983. Brother Lindsey's teachings about the Throneroom were placed on his heart heavily by the Lord after it was revealed that the believer in Christ could get beyond Calvary and beyond the new birth. Calvary is the down payment. Walking in the Spirit is the life found when Christ takes over the heart and life of a child of God. A believer can get beyond what Christ did in the past...into the living presence of NOW in the Throneroom. This is the emphasis of this beautiful sermon by Brother Lindsey. This audio is classic holiness preaching and also speaks of some of Brother Lindsey's experiences with the Judgment of God. Enjoy it! Cherish it! May the Lord bless you as listen to and learn from this excellent sermon. I thank Jesus for this ongoing ministry of Brother Hubert Lindsey that still lives today across the world from the Churches on Trial blog that God is sending via Internet around the Globe.

Did you ever wonder what the "Full Gospel" really is?

2010-11-16T06:16:00.009-05:00

The Bible says the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. The Apostle Paul said the Gospel is what the Prophets said about the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The Gospel is what generates the power to save a lost soul from sin.

Many of our religious circles in the United States claim to be Full Gospel. So, what is the Full Gospel? The Full Gospel is the operation of God's Grace found in the truth of the Holy Scriptures. The Full Gospel is not limited to Salvation only. The Full Gospel is the "unlimited" power of Christ that heals the sick, rids man of disease, cures addictions, cleanses the heart, and purifies a believer from the Adamic nature.

The Full Gospel does not limit God to just forgiving man from sinful conduct. The Full Gospel endues man with the Indwelling Spirit which in turn offers a saved man heart purity from inherited sin. The Full Gospel doesn't stop at Salvation of the human soul. The Full Gospel sanctifies the heart of man from inherited sin and offers a life of victory, peace, and contentment that's only found in a living Christ that's exalted in Heaven, now.

The Full Gospel brings to light to the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire, that many people believe comes at Salvation. Contrary to this concept or way of thinking there are (2) baptisms that come in the Full Gospel. (1) is a Baptism into Christ that deals with a sinner. (2) Is a Baptism that deals with indwelling sin and deals with a saved man. The Full Gospel is taught in the book of Acts and proves that many people received the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire...after the new birth. Many people do not understand this great Biblical truth.

The Full Gospel offers man a full work of the Spirit of God that deals with every adverse condition and every negative part of man. We preach and teach the Full Gospel at the Churches on Trial. Brother Hubert Lindsey was a converted Baptist that learned and later taught the Full Gospel after 26 years in the ministry.

At the Churches on Trial we teach the Full Gospel because the Bible teaches the Full Gospel. We appreciate you coming to this site as God continues give us words of truth, clarification of the Scriptures, many of Brother Lindsey's past teachings, and a place to share what God has shared with us. Brother Lindsey told me before he died to scatter this knowledge across the nation and world. God has made a way on the Internet to bring this request fro Brother Lindsey to pass.

God Bless all of you that come to this site. Continue using the Blogs we have posted, the audios, the videos, the Word of God, and the Spirit of Truth to fortify your walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. We are scattering truth about the Full Gospel to Russia, China, Taiwan, Ecuador, Columbia, Moldova, Slovenia, Israel, Iraq, Iran, Canada, Singapore, India, and many other countries. The Spirit of Holiness that raised Christ from the grave is behind this ministry. In these "latter days" and "perilous times" we know the urgency of scattering this material around the globe. Get it in you heart and soul for the cause of Jesus. Tell the world about Him. Allow the Full Gospel to prevail.

Thank all of you for stopping by this site. I write these word's with Christian Love with a heart full of contentment that only comes from the Christ that I preach and write about. I love all of you and appreciate your faithfulness to the God of our Salvattion. Let it be known,"Christ is alive and is preparing His Church" for the coming events that are promised to happen. Stay right with God. Make sure every sin is forgiven, and never grieve the Holy Spirit that governs your life.

God Bless from Rick Roehm, a disciple of the ongoing minstry of Brother Hubert Lindsey

Divine Wisdom or Human wisdom..by Hubert T. Lindsey

2010-11-12T12:25:00.008-05:00

This audio by Hubert Lindsey that has been buried for many years brings forth a wealth of knowledge about Christ. The knowledge brought forth is based on numerous Old Testament prophecies confirmed in the New Testament. The reason? To take way doubt and unbelief from the heart of man; and to build faith based on the truth of the Word of God! Brother Lindsey was truely a called man of God. The indepth preaching on this audio brings forth a beautiful contrast between fallen man and the power of God's Grace tha comes from Christ. This kind of teaching is not taught much this day and hour. This great Bible lesson undermines the teaching of philosphy and human reasoning in light of of the Grace of God and the truth of God's Word. In the day's of Corinth there were many pagan religions, philosphies, and mixed types of Judahism. The Apostle refuted human reasoning and human intellect that oftentimes interferes with the power of Salvation that comes from the Gospel message. May this great teaching on the wisdom of God bless your heart and life for the cause of Christ. I thank God that provision has been made to continue scattering this timeless material about Christ around the world and around the globe. May the Grace of God bless you the listener as much as does this writer with the truth of God's Word. On behalf of Brother Lindsey, "Enjoy this blessed teaching".
