Sermon On The Mount Series / Part 1

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Father, in Jesus’ name, we thank you for this day; we thank you for this program. I pray that you would open our eyes; open our ears; open our understanding; open our hearts, Father, to see what is written in your Word: that you would reveal your Word to us. 

Today’s message is The Sermon On The Mount Series / Part 1. Starting in chapter 5 of Matthew, verse 1,  And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 

Mat 5:13  You are the salt of the Earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven. 

Mat 5:17  Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till Heaven and Earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven. 

Mat 5:21  You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment. But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, Raca! shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, You fool! shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny. 

Mat 5:27  You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not commit adultery,  but I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 

Mat 5:31  Furthermore it has been said, Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce. But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. 

Mat 5:33  Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord. But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by Heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the Earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your Yes be Yes, and your No, No. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. 

Mat 5:38  You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. 

Mat 5:43  You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 

Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect. 

In verse 19, Jesus said, Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. This is how a person may become great in the Kingdom of God: by doing Jesus’ commandments; by doing the Sermon on the Mount.

When I was a baby Christian, I was at a prayer meeting, and a woman spoke up and said, “Well everyone knows that you can’t keep the Sermon on the Mount.” Unfortunately, I don’t remember the leader of that meeting correcting her. And it has taken me years to overcome that lie. Jesus said, right after verse 19, in verse 20, For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The righteousness of the Sermon on the Mount exceeds the righteousness of the Law.

In verse 23 and 24, Jesus said, Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Before you come to worship God, if your brother or sister has something against you, go to them and make it right, then you can offer true worship to God, and undefiled prayers.

In verses 27-31, Jesus deals squarely with lust and adultery. In verse 28 He said, If you even look at a woman to lust after her, you have already committed adultery with her; you’ve already sinned.  Then He said, in verse 29, …for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. Why did He say that? Is He saying that we should pluck out our eyes if we lust after a woman? No. He is showing us how important it is that we deal with the cause: what is causing us to lust after a woman?, or a woman to lust after a man?, and that, if we don’t deal with it, we could end up in Hell.  How do you deal with the lust of the eyes? How do you deal with adultery? The first thing you do is acknowledge it to yourself and to God. “I have sinned; Lord, I confess my sin to you. Please forgive me of this sin and cleanse me of it.” In 1 John 1:9, the Apostle John said, If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The Lord will uphold His Word; He will perform His Word in your life, if you are sincere about it. 

Remember, He said in verse 6, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. He also said, in John chapter 8, If you continue in My Word, you will be My disciples indeed, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. He also said, Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 

Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. This is serious ! Very serious!  If you don’t take these Words seriously, as serious as losing a part of your body, you will not overcome sin in your life, and you may end up in Hell. Don’t pluck out your eye, turn it away. Confess your sin to God and turn away from it. When you are tempted, ask Him for grace, and He will help you.  If you want this; if you want righteousness, then seek for it with all your heart. Through the love of God and the gift of the Holy Spirit; through faith in the  sacrifice of Jesus, and His resurrection from the dead; through the grace of God, if you will love Him, you can do His Words. This is the love of God: that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not grievous. 

Back in Mat 5:43, Jesus said, You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. The Holy Spirit will lead you in situations with people to do His Word, like: love your enemies. He will bring an enemy: someone whom you consider to be your enemy, across your path, and then you have an opportunity to do His Word and overcome and be set free, or, harden your heart and stay in darkness. 

It is a lie of the devil, that you cannot do the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus would have been unjust then in what He required; when He said, If you do these Words, it’s like building your house upon a rock. If you will love God, and seek Him with all your heart, He will give you grace to do it. If you love the world, you will not be able to do it. People who love the world; who love their evil deeds, will not be able to do it. Mat 7:21,  Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.

 Our Fellowship in the Gospel

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in my name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Thank you Father! We thank you Father. We bless your holy name this morning! We thank you for this program, thank you Lord. Blessed be God Almighty, the maker of Heaven and Earth, who loved us and gave us His Son. Thank you Father. 

Today’s message is, Our Fellowship in the Gospel. Let’s turn to Php 1:3, I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine, making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Amen. 

Let’s go to 1 John 1:1,  That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us. Chapter 2, verse 1, My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

Our fellowship is in the Gospel. We see, in 1 John 1, our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son. We cannot fellowship with them in darkness. God is light. Our fellowship is with them and with one another in the light. When the light exposes sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Jesus is the light of the world. In Him, and the Father is no darkness at all. Through the Gospel; through Jesus’ sacrifice upon the Cross; through faith in Him, in His name, and in His shed Blood, we are forgiven, cleansed and justified, when we walk in the light; when we confess our sins. There is no condemnation then. We walk on with Him, with a clear conscience, yielding to the Holy Spirit as He leads us to follow Jesus to do the Father’s will. Jesus is still only doing the will of His Father, and, if we are following Him, we too will be doing the will of our Father. And if we continue in His will, following Jesus, we will enter into His Kingdom to rule and reign with Him as kings and priests forever.

God cannot, and will not, have fellowship with sin or with those who are practicing sin.

That’s why, when all our sins were laid upon His Son, upon the Cross, the Father separated Himself from Him, as He bare our sins; as He was made sin for us, that through repentance and faith in Him we might be made righteous in His sight. We only have true fellowship through the Gospel; through the work of the Cross in our lives. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Me. Our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son in the light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ, cleansed by His Blood and sanctified from everything that separates us from them. Our fellowship with one another is in them; in the Father and in His Son and in the Holy Spirit and in the truth of His Word. The Apostle Paul said, I’ve determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 

1 John 1:6, If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. There is a huge lie in the Church today: that we have fellowship with Jesus and the Father and with one another, while we continue to walk in darkness.  It causes the fellowship to be feigned: we don’t have true fellowship, and we don’t have true love. Let’s turn to 2 Cor 6:14, Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. Chapter 7, verse 1, Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Chapter 6, verse 14, And what communion (fellowship) has light with darkness?

Let’s turn to 1 Peter 1:13,  Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,  because it is written, Be holy, for I am holy. And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious Blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 

He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever. 

Our fellowship is in the Holy Spirit, in the love of God. The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of truth. So we love one another in truth, and in knowledge, and in all judgment, or discernment, approving the things that are excellent; bringing forth good fruit to the glory of God, (Php 1:9-11). Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends, Jesus said, you are My friends if you do whatsoever I command you. Jesus laid down His life for us to deliver us from the power of sin and the power of the devil; to bring us out of darkness into His marvelous light; into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. 

Let’s turn to 1 John 4:7, Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. The Gospel is the love of God: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever lives and believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 John 2:10, He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 

So you can come together; you can come to a building, and talk to each other, and laugh and sing songs and say prayers, but, if you are not walking in the light of the Gospel; if you are not truly loving the Father and His Son for what they have done for you; if you are walking in darkness: loving this world; loving yourself, your money and your pleasures, you are not loving the Father. 1 John 2:15, Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Unless you are walking in the light, with the Blood of Jesus cleansing you from all sin and unrighteousness, you can go home and say what great fellowship you had, but you have not had true fellowship. Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, in the light of the Gospel; in the true love of God. 

Prophecy:

I am God Almighty. Those of you who are listening to My servant Rob this day, open your eyes; open your ears; open your hearts to receive My Words. My Words will bring you out of darkness into My light, that you may fellowship with Me and with My Son, says the Lord. Turn unto Me with all your heart and I will receive you to Myself, says the Lord.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you who love Him in truth, Amen. (2 Cor 13:14)

 Innocent Blood

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Today we’re going to talk about Innocent Blood. Let’s turn to Psalm 94:1-23,  O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs—O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth! Rise up, O Judge of the Earth; render punishment to the proud. Lord, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? They utter speech, and speak insolent things; all the workers of iniquity boast in themselves. They break in pieces your people, O Lord, and afflict your heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, the Lord does not see, nor does the God of Jacob understand. Understand, you senseless among the people; and you fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge? The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, and teach out of your law, that You may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. For the Lord will not cast off his people, nor will He forsake his inheritance. But judgment will return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it. Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul would soon have settled in silence. If I say, my foot slips, your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with You? Did you see that? Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with You? They gather together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. But the Lord has been my defense, and my God the rock of my refuge. He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; the Lord our God shall cut them off. The Lord God will cut off those who devise evil by a law. 

Let’s turn to Psalm 106:34-38; This is talking about the Children of Israel,  They did not destroy the peoples, concerning whom the Lord had commanded them, but they mingled with the Gentiles and learned their works; they served their idols, which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. Verse 38, And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. Our land, The United States of America, is polluted with blood; with the blood of the innocent children who are being slaughtered, even as you read this, unto the idols of Canaan; unto the idols of self love, 

self indulgence, love of money, love of pleasure, my career, my life, my body.

Let’s turn to Psalm 139:1-24,  O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into Heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall fall on me, even the night shall be light about me; indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You. For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the Earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, and in your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You. Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men. For they speak against You wickedly; your enemies take your name in vain. Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Verse 14, I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the Earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, and in your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. Consider these Words people; consider what the Lord is saying to you this day. Humble yourselves before the Living God and consider His Words. It is written that the Scripture cannot be broken. These are the Words of the Living God; the One who created you in your mother’s womb.

2 Kings 21:1&2, This is talking about King Manasseh: verse 1, Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. Verse 10, And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying, Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations: he has acted more wickedly than all the Amorites who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols, therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle. And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. So I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become victims of plunder to all their enemies, because they have done evil in my sight, and have provoked Me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day. Moreover Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the Lord. 

Let’s turn to 2 Kings 24:1-4, In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him. And the Lord sent against him raiding bands of Chaldeans, bands of Syrians, bands of Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon; He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord which He had spoken by His servants the prophets. Surely at the commandment of the Lord this came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the Lord would not pardon. 

Our land is filled with innocent blood. Surely the judgment of our God is upon us. Will you humble yourself? Will you humble yourself before the Living God? Will you tremble at His Word? Will you fear Him? Or will you snuff at Him? Will you continue in your evil way? Will you devise evil by a law, and declare that it is good to kill babies; to slaughter the innocent? How do you feel when you hear the statistics of the numbers of innocent babies that are being slaughtered in the United States and around the world every day? How is your heart? How do you react? Is your heart tender, or do you harden your heart? Is your heart hard toward the Lord, toward his Word? Or are you like King Josiah whose heart was tender toward the Lord, and when you hear of what is written in God’s Word; about how He will judge those who shed innocent blood, do you weep and rend your heart before Him? 2 Kings 22:10-20,  Then Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes. Then the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Michaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, Go, inquire of the Lord for me, for the people and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that is aroused against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us. So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. She dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter. And they spoke with her.  Then she said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man who sent you to Me, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will bring calamity on this place and on its inhabitants—all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read—because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath shall be aroused against this place and shall not be quenched. But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, in this manner you shall speak to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Concerning the words which you have heard—because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, says the Lord. Surely, therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place.  So they brought back word to the king.  Make no mistake! God is longsuffering; He is patient; He waits a long time before He brings judgment, and He pleads with the sons of men; that they might turn and humble themselves and repent! But if we will not repent, rest assured, judgment is upon us folks! Judgment is upon America! We are as Sodom! We are as Gomorrah! If we will not repent, the judgment of God will be fulfilled in America!

Let’s turn to Mat 18:1-14, At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven? Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire. Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in Heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in Heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. Jesus said,  In Heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in Heaven.  What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish. God has not changed. He said, I don’t change. His judgments are the same now for those who shed innocent blood as they were in the days of the kings of Israel. But for those who will tremble at his Word, and will come to the Innocent One, who willingly shed his own Blood for them on the Cross, to thoroughly wash them and cleanse them of the innocent blood that they have shed; there is forgiveness! And there is life! Jesus did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them! He is come that we might have life, and that more abundantly! Come out from death and darkness into his marvelous light; into eternal life with Him, the Creator of all things.

Interpretation of a message in tongues:

I have a Word for you, America, and I urge you vehemently to take heed! I am the God of all flesh. I created those precious babies in the womb. They are fearfully and wonderfully made by my power. I created them, just as I created you in your mother’s womb. If you will humble yourselves and turn and be tender hearted, and fight for the unborn to save them alive; then will I hear from Heaven and I will have mercy on this land. But if you will continue to frame mischief by a law, and continue to slaughter innocent babies in the name of women’s health care; lies, wicked lies that are being spoken to justify murder; every person who slaughters a child is guilty of murder; that guilt is upon you until you repent. If you will turn and repent, then I will have mercy, but if you harden your heart and continue to kill the innocent, my judgment will come upon this land. This land will not continue as it has been, but it will be brought down; it will be brought to desolation, if you will not hearken unto Me. I warn you America this day! I am speaking this warning by my Spirit through my servant Rob. If you will say, Oh who’s he? I don’t need to listen to him; you don’t understand. It is Me speaking to you by my Spirit. I am warning you: Turn from your evil ways, humble yourselves before Me, and I will have mercy on you. But if you will harden your heart, judgment will follow. Thus says the Lord; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

 Judgment and the Love of God

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Thank you Father, Amen. Thank you Father, Amen. Thank you Father; we worship you this day, in the name of your Son Jesus. All glory and honor and majesty and power and dominion be unto you Father. We thank you for this program, amen, thank you Lord Jesus: Judgment and the Love of God. I pray that you would move through me; speak through me, and minister to your people. We pray for those that are hurting: so many people are hurting after this hurricane Helene; so many people are hurting in North Carolina, as you know, full well: you know exactly what’s going on in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done so far: all the miracles that you’ve done; lives that you’ve saved, and others that you’ve taken to Heaven.

Interpretation of a message in tongues:

I am God Almighty. Those of you who are listening to My servant Rob this day: listen to Me, listen to Me, I love you. I am judging the United States of America because they have turned their back on Me; they have rejected My Word, though I have been very gracious to them for many, many years, still, they harden their hearts; they turn their back to Me, and I am judging them, that I may bring My people back to Me. That’s what I’m doing. Do not be offended; do not be ashamed of My Words, for I love you and I am with you. Many of you know how I have helped you through the storm, and I am with you, says the Lord. I want you to look to Me; I want you to turn to Me with all your heart! Turn away from the devil and his wicked ways! For I love you, and I will embrace you to Myself; I will bring you to Myself and I will bless you, and I will help you! Turn to Me now!, says the Lord.

Praise God! This is a very strong thing that’s going on in our country, as you all know. Amen. Hos 6:1, Come, and let us return to the Lord; for He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the Earth. In the King James Version it says, then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord. 

Jesus said, in Luke 11:42, …Woe unto you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God. These ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone. (KJV)  I have heard famous preachers saying, after this hurricane, “This is not the judgment of God; God loves us!” and, “This is a natural occurrence.” They have not said that this is the judgment of God.  This is the judgment of God on our Land. Great judgment of God is in our Land, here in America, and around the world, because we have turned our back on God, and we have rejected His Word. We have turned away our ears from the truth and have embraced fables and lies and those who speak them. 

Let’s turn to Isa 1:2,  Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O Earth! For the Lord has spoken: "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me; the ox knows its owner and the donkey its master's crib; but Israel does not know, My people do not consider." Alas, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the Lord; they have provoked to anger the Holy One of Israel; they have turned away backward. Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faints. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores; they have not been closed or bound up, or soothed with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; strangers devour your land in your presence; and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. 

So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. Unless the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah. 

Hear the Word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah:  "To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?" Says the Lord. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats. "When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My courts? Bring no more futile sacrifices; incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; they are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together," Says the Lord,  "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. 

God hates the shedding of innocent blood! How many abortions have taken place, in the southeastern United States, and throughout the Country, this past year? The judgment of God is His correction and His instruction to those whom He loves. He loves His people. He proved His great love when He gave His Son Jesus to suffer and die upon the Cross for our sins; to save us from our sins; to deliver us from all evil; to make us a holy people! Yes, God loves us. He loves all people so much that He gave His beloved Son upon the Cross to suffer the full punishment for the sins of the whole world upon His innocent body and soul, that whoever believes in Him and His suffering, death, and resurrection from the dead, should not perish, but have eternal life. Because He loves us so much, He hates sin, because it destroys us. He especially hates the shedding of innocent blood! 

If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged, but, because we refuse to judge ourselves, His judgment comes upon us. How many precious, innocent babies have been murdered in the name of “Health Care”, just this past year in this nation? In 2o23, according to the Guttmacher Institute, it was over one million! According to the same institute, the percentage performed because of rape was 1%, and because of incest, .05%

Our hands are full of blood! Why are there so many abortions? It’s because there is so much fornication. Fornication is sin. The person who commits fornication sins against his own body. How much fornication, abortions, adulteries, pedophilia, and perversions are in the Church?! How many Christians are compromising the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ to walk after their own lust, loving themselves and their own pleasures more than God? The Lord God plainly said, in 2 Chr 7:14, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land!

Instead of turning from our wicked ways, we have tried to change God’s Word to justify them. And God has not healed our Land. He is judging our Land because His people refuse to repent and turn back to Him. Will we turn back to Him now, amidst His judgment, and find His mercy, or will we continue to harden our hearts against Him, to our own destruction and the ruin of our Nation? Don’t believe the false prophets who are telling you that this latest storm which hit the southeastern United States is not His judgment. He is judging our Nation, and if people will not repent and return to Him, it is going to get worse! God wants you to know Him; He wants you to know His ways and walk in them, so that He may bless you; so that you may be happy and blessed. He sent His Son to suffer and die to deliver you from all your sins, that you may live and be blessed. God loves us and sent His Son to bless us in turning every one of us from our iniquities. 

His judgment comes to turn those who will receive His correction from their evil ways; from their destructions, that they may live and not die. His judgment comes upon the wicked, those who will not repent, to their destruction, because they reject His ways; they refuse to walk in them, and they condemn themselves in so doing. Jesus said that God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. This is the condemnation: that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. He that does evil will not come to the light, unless his deeds should be reproved, but he that does truth comes to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are worked in God.

This planet Earth, and everything in it belongs to God. He made it all. Every human being belongs to Him. He does what He wills in the kingdom of men. No one can stay His hand or say to Him, “What are you doing?” He loves us so much! He wants us to know Him and walk in His ways, that He may bless us in His presence throughout eternity. After all that He has done to save us, if we reject him, and the truth of His Word; if we will not receive Jesus and walk with Him in the truth, we condemn ourselves, and we will be destroyed.

The love of God is in the Gospel, and the judgment of God comes upon those who reject the Gospel or no longer walk in it. If you survived this storm; if you are still alive on the Earth, it’s because God had great mercy on you in the midst of His judgment, and you better turn back to Him with all your heart and serve Him now!

Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up. After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the Earth. Hos 6:1-3 (KJV)

Thank you for reading this message from 15 Minutes With Jesus at roberthaymes.com . May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you who love Him in truth, Amen. (2 Cor 13:14)

 God Gave His Son

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Today’s program is called God Gave His Son. Let’s turn to John 3:14-16, Jesus was talking to Nicodemus and He said, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Let’s turn to Eph 2:4-8, But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. 

The gift of God is Jesus.  God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. How much did He love us? That’s how much He loved us. Just think on that for a moment. He loved us so much that He gave His Son for us. What does it mean, He gave? What happened when He gave Him? How did He give Him? 

Let’s turn to Matt 26:36-68, Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.” 

And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him. Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him. But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled. 

And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest's courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end. Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward and said, “This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.” And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Jesus said to him, “You have said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?” They answered and said, “He is deserving of death.” Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands, saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?”

Let’s turn to Matt 27:11-35, Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “You say.” 

And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing. 

Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 

But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly. Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 

Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy. While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.” But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!” Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!” Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!” When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.” And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison around Him. And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified. 

All during Jesus’ ministry, many wanted to kill Him, but they could not touch Him, because His hour had not come. His hour came in the Garden of Gethsemane, when Judas and his band of men came to arrest Him. Jesus said, “Do you not know that I can now pray to my Father and He shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels, but how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled?” In Luke 22 it is written that Jesus said here, “This is your hour and the power of darkness.” The Father gave His beloved Son into the hands of those that wanted to kill Him so that He could die on the Cross for our sins. We have heard that many times: that Jesus died for our sins. But what was it like for Jesus? What did He actually go through? First of all, He became a man; He walked this Earth as a man. He was tempted in every way as we are, yet He never sinned. He endured many temptations for over 30 years. Thereby He became the spotless Lamb of God who could be offered as a living sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. 

Let’s turn to Isaiah 53, verses 3-6, He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 

He was despised; rejected; He was grieved. Our pains and our sicknesses were literally put on Him on the Cross. He was beaten and bruised for our sins and our iniquities. He was tormented that we might receive His peace. One of the first things they did to Him was scourge Him with a Roman lash. His flesh was thereby torn off His back as stripes, and with those stripes we were healed. All the iniquities of the human race were laid upon Him. He literally became sin on the Cross. That’s when the Father had to forsake Him, for the first time in all eternity, and Jesus cried out, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?” He hung alone on that Cross, as they mocked Him and chided Him. He was oppressed and afflicted, but He did not open His mouth. He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter; He was bruised and put to grief. His soul was made an offering for sin: His soul entered into great travail as He bore our iniquities; as He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for us transgressors. 

In Psalm 22 we see that Jesus hung alone on the Cross: a reproach of men and despised of the people. They laughed Him to scorn. All His bones went out of joint as the powers of darkness attacked Him. Have you ever had one bone go out of joint? It is extremely painful. After He was arrested, before He went to the Cross, they beat Him; they spat on Him. Have you ever had anyone spit in your face?  They tore out His beard. They put a crown of thorns upon His head and beat His head with a rod. They punched Him. Have you ever been punched by a big strong man, like a Roman soldier? This is what Jesus went through for us. This is what it means: that God loved us and gave His beloved, only begotten Son for us to pay our ransom. They pierced His hands and His feet and His side, and His Blood was shed upon that Cross. The scripture says, He loved us and washed us from our sins in His own Blood.  

Jesus willingly did this for us, enduring all of this for us, when we were dead in our sins, because He loves us. This is how much He and the Father love us. This was the cost of our salvation and our forgiveness: the suffering that Jesus, the man who was tempted in every way as we are, and yet He never sinned, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the Devil; this is what He endured for us. This is the depth of His love for us! Greater love has no man than this, Jesus said, than to lay down one’s life for His friends. After His suffering was completed on the Cross, Jesus said, "It is finished," and He commended His Spirit to His Father, and He died. This is what it means when we say, He died for our sins. He was crucified for our sins, and on the third day the Father raised Him from the dead and justified Jesus, and all of us who believe in Him, from all our sins. Thereby He abolished death and brought us eternal life. Hallelujah! The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
