Are You Bethrothed To Jesus?

Happy Sunday everyone!

The mission of this website from the very beginning has always been to print the TRUTH the MSM didn’t want you to ever see.

And we’ve done that.

But a second mission has been to use this platform to get the Good News out to as many people as possible, and that’s what we like to do every Sunday.

And like we do so often, today we turn to our good friend Pastor Robb Goodman:

Today’s Title:
“Are You Betrothed To Jesus?”

What a wonderful revelation from the Lord! The Holy Spirit spoke to me to teach on this topic. I myself learned quite a lot by studying this message.

We will go into 2 Corinthians 11 and look at what the Apostle Paul said about the Corinthian church being betrothed to Christ. One day we will be married to Jesus.

But now, while we are here on the earth, we are Betrothed or Engaged to Jesus. Watch today’s message and learn what this means.

We had a very difficult time uploading this video to YouTube. The enemy doesn’t want you to hear this. Please watch and pay close attention to what the Lord wants to reveal to you.

God bless all of you on We Love Trump!
I’m praying for my viewers and our subscribers. Please continue to pray for President Trump. We are living in some crazy times.

Thank you, Noah, for publishing my messages each week.

Love & Blessings,
Pastor Robb Goodman
Sr. Pastor of Zion Freedom Fellowship

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Good morning everyone. Happy Sunday morning to you. Can you believe it? Today is July the 20th.

Holy Moses. I can’t believe that it’s the end of July already. Ten more days left—or 11 actually—and it’s just, oh my goodness gracious. It’s just too much, isn’t it? Time is flying and so much is happening in the world right now.

We are most definitely living in the last days. Let’s pray before we start the message today and I’ll share the message title with you.

So let’s pray. Heavenly Father, we come before the throne of grace today and we thank you, Lord, for your Word. Your Word is truth. Your Word is life to those that find them and health to all of our flesh.

Thank you, Lord, that you are the God of all comfort. You are the God who leads us and guides us by your Holy Spirit, the great Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit of the living God.

Move right now, Holy Spirit. Prepare the hearts to hear the Word of God, that the word that I speak today that comes forth from your throne, Lord, guided and led and directed by the Holy Spirit, will minister life, assurance, hope, comfort, and maybe even discipline to those that need all these things.

Lord, we all need all of those things. So Lord, I ask you to minister and strengthen and prepare folks for the week that lies ahead. I ask that you bless their families, bless them on their jobs this coming week. Lord, move in their midst in a mighty, mighty way because you are the Lord our God.

And Father, we thank you for your Word. We thank you that your Word is light and life. Let the Word of God bring deliverance in Jesus’ name to all that are listening to this message today.

And Father, this subject topic that we’re going to talk about is very, very precious. It’s such a precious topic and I know it’s precious to the heart of Jesus. So Lord, minister through me right now. I give every word to you.

Let every word come forth directly from you—not out of my own thinking or what I feel should be said, but Lord, what you want to be said. And I praise you and I thank you in the mighty, most holy name of Jesus. Amen and amen.

Well, I’ve got a wonderful message for you today. And the subject of today’s message is: Are You Betrothed to Jesus?

And you know what? If you’re a born-again believer and a follower of Christ, guess what? You are.

Now, we’re going to talk about the ancient—well, even the present—but also the ancient act of betrothal in the days of Jesus and under the laws of Moses and so on and so forth.

We’re going to share about these things, but we’re going to first read from 2 Corinthians chapter 11. This is an interesting, very interesting chapter, and I want you to pay close attention to these words that I’m going to read to you.

Okay? 2 Corinthians chapter 11, and we’re going to start at verse 1:

“Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly. And indeed you do bear with me. For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

And we’re going to talk about Paul’s role and how, when he says this and why he says this, in a little bit.

“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”

And you know, that’s what Satan is all about. You know, the gospel is simple and forthright, but often times theologians and different ones try to make it difficult to understand. It’s not. It’s very, very simple.

As you meditate in the Word of God and begin to study God’s Word, you ask Holy Spirit to lead and guide you and to reveal all truth to you. And He certainly will. He certainly, certainly will.

“For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you may well put up with it!”

We’re going to talk about that a little bit too, that statement.

“For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent of apostles. For though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge, for we have been thoroughly manifested among you in all things.”

Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted? Because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?

I have robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. And when I was present with you and in need, I was a burden to no one. For what I lacked, the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied.

And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. Why? Because I do not love you? God knows!

But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things which they boast.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers—Satan’s ministers—also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Those that deceive and know they are deceiving—they are going to pay a heavy price of judgment.

I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I may also boast a little. What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly in the confidence of boasting.

Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I will also boast. For you put up with fools gladly since you yourselves are wise.

Now Paul’s being kind of—you know, what’s the word I’m looking for? Sarcastic. For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage. He says you put up with it if one devours you. If one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face.

To our shame, I say that we were too weak for that. But in whatever anyone is bold—I speak foolishly—I am bold also.

Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I.

Are they ministers of Christ? I speak as a fool—I am more. In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. Five times! You imagine what Paul’s back looked like? That was the sign that he was a true apostle—that he had paid the price.

Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. A night and a day I have been in the deep.

In journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren.

In weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all of the churches.

Now see, that was the apostolic heart that Jesus gave to Paul. He loved and he cared very deeply for all the churches. And as a pastor, I have a deep spiritual concern for my people.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation? If I must boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

In Damascus, the governor under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me. But I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped from his hands.

What an amazing story that the Apostle Paul had. Paul defends his ordained apostleship to the mixed-up and deceived Corinthians. They were listening to false accusations about Paul.

Now, that was the scenario. Evidently, the Corinthian Christians were very open to people coming in and mocking Paul, saying that Paul was maybe not a right teacher, that he was more interested in money, that he wanted more than what he actually wanted.

The only thing Paul cared about was the livelihood and the spiritual life of them being true to Christ. And he says, “I’ve espoused you to one husband as a chaste virgin.”
