3614 WN111616 Predestination: The Battle Belongs To The Lord - Rest!
A study of NT Greek and OT Hebrew, customs and culture of Israel, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome, the pagan origins of the Christmass and other "holydays / holidays", all for the purpose of understanding what the bible meant when it was originally spoken/written as opposed to what modern "preachers" and "christians" "think" it says; i.e. NO OPINIONS.
About Grace and Truth Ministries
Jim and Mary Brown
I have been preaching and teaching Bible for over 50 years. In 1957, I began studying the scriptures diligently after graduating from high school. In 1980, God began dealing with me, bringing me to what I believed was my deathbed in 1985.
In the hospital, I awoke near death crying out to God, "Lord, You are going to kill me if I don't quit living for myself and saying all the truth in my power!!!"
Thereafter, I began to say these blunt plain words that appeal to the elect sheep. As a result, I began to make more enemies than I could have ever imagined. I was sick and tired of the “mush” gospel that churches were preaching.
My family was confused, and on many occasions on the way home from church, my wife would say, "he said such-and-such last week and he said this-and-that this week contradicting what he said the previous week." I began to say to my wife Mary, "don't listen to the preacher, because he doesn't know what he’s talking about." Finally, I said, "this is a waste of time! We are going home. We are not going to these churches anymore. I will teach you from our home."
Nearly thirty years ago, we started Grace and Truth Ministries which included my wife, son and one other young man. We started taping the sermons shortly thereafter. Grace and Truth Ministries is now meeting in a building located in Hendersonville, TN. Be sure to Share this video teaching with others!
God Has Chosen
Romans 8:29-30 - "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
Foreknow - to have a personal intimate relationship beforehand.
God predetermined that all who belonged to him before the foundation of the world were to "conform" to the word of God in obedience to Christ.
All that were predestined were "called", "justified", and "glorified" (past tense verbs). These were fixed in the mind of God before the world began. (Ephesians 1:4; Acts 13:48; II Thessalonians 2:13). The election of the saints is unto accountability (I Peter 1:2).
The majority of the protestant church held to this doctrine during the reformation. It is the foundation of "The London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689". You Baptists are supposed to be believing it and you've discarded this precious doctrine of Grace !!!

Watching this again! I like when pastor Jim said "He didn't let Jim Brown do it; and he's not gonna let you either!" In reference to SELF. And "I'll have my way and all I want trying to manipulate the situation" Strong words of Truth for the outer man. "Don't Argue with God!"

Read the recent book "The Foundation of Augustinian-Calvinism" by Ken Wilson, if you want to understand the history of the doctrine. Augustine was attempting to explain how infants could become the "elect" through water baptism. Since the child had not come to faith, it must be based on the will of another. It could have nothing to do with the will of the child.

Thank you Jim and Praise God I needed to hear this. So often I want things to go my way instead of recognizing that The Lord has me where He wants me in the situation that I am in. I truly need to get on my face and repent, and recognize everything as God's will. It is so hard to get rid of pride, help me Lord. Thank you and Agape Jim. The Lord be merciful to the church.

I believe i lost my salvation. I read Hebrews to learn more of the new covenant and ended up learning why i cannot stop this depression. Heb 6:4-6 and 10:26. I willingly fall into sexual sin, and it keeps happening until I felt lost. God left! Once this happens it is impossible to repent. Like Esau. I feel like Esau. Since I cannot ever be saved now, all i can do is expect fiery wrath in the future. I hate life and people and just want to find drugs or something to numb my mind. Am i really beyond hope? Not looking for sugar coated lies either. I wish i was never born

Brother, Esau and Jacob in a spiritual sense was God showing us two types of men. Esau was that type of “EARTHLY” man. That earthly man cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Jacob was that type of “SPIRITUAL” man. The only type of man able to enter Gods kingdom. As far as your predicament with your sin, Don’t let your justification get mixed up with your sanctification.Even after coming to be in Christ , were still gonna mess up . The point is to not willingly continue in that sin once you’re convicted, otherwise you’re rejecting the Holy Spirit. Repent of it and move on. God told Moses he was gonna pass over Egypt and take the firstborn of every house that didn’t apply the blood over the doorpost. Apply the blood.

Dear David, I hope your still around,, I just ran into your question to Jim, of fear, hopelessness willingly sinning against GOD. I was just like you only most likely even worse,,, I am 66 years old right now, I truly got the gift of salvation this year, about the 12 of January, 2020. I could tell you a story of why I stick to the Jan. 12 date but will save that for later, if you contact me through this, it’s kind of an interesting story. Listen to Jim, God did not desert you, you are severely depressed because your soul is yearning for Father, I don’t know bout your sordid past, mine is long and sad,,, God the Lord of the universe has brought me through some horrible living,, the heart is evil, because we are sinners. I learned recently that we are not sinners because we sin,, we sin because we are sinners. This helped me in understanding my flesh being at war with what I had desired since I was a small girl, but I gave in to my lust, my this, my that, over 5 decades of that sin filled life, trying to have my way and it took the Lord a long time to bring me around to His way of thinking,,, I still have a long way to go. I too ask for death many times, I too hid in the pits of my evil heart, trying to find happiness thru lust, drugs, ring an enemy to God. I knew it was wrong all along, but kept doing it. Oh how many days I have spent crying and hoping to not wake the next day. Praise God I’m saved now, I know that in my heart. I hope that by this time you have found peace with God, it’s been a year since you posted, so, I am going to give you my name, I’m on messenger and Facebook,,, Flora Childress, and you will see the white peacock as my profile pic. If your interested, I think if it is Gods will, thru Christ, we might be able to help each other. I’m in Oklahoma, there aren’t going to be many Floras in OK. I will be watching for your invite. In Christ, Amen.

@@florachildressEarth2Flo God bless you Flora for your encouragement. After all you went through, you found your way. Praise God! My journey was long and very hard too. I could listen to testimonies all day because our loving Father knows exactly when to yank us out of the fire. As long as we are still being convicted, there is hope I believe. It's when we finally shut down & reject the Holy Spirit and totally deaden ourselves that "it's over". That really is the unpardonable sin I believe; to put out the fire of the Holy Spirit in our lives. God bless you & I'll hope to meet you in Heaven.🙏😊

Does Omniscience + Creation = Predestination? A question for the freewillers... Does your God, immutably, know the ultimate destination of every individual, before he creates them, and willingly chooses to create them anyway? ...and some follow up questions... Does God have to create those individuals he immutably foreknew would end up in hell? Can freewill, at any point, change the immutability of Gods foreknowledge of where they will ultimately end up? Did you know that you actually believe in a double predestination because by God immutably knowing their ultimate destination God is destining those individuals, to heaven or hell, by simply choosing to create them when he does not have to in the first place? Do you consider the God of Freewillism evil for choosing to create people who, he immutably knows, have no other destination other than hell?

Persil Ujay This is irrelevant to the point of my post! The point is, in your understanding, God knew beforehand “us who choose to rebel”, to the end, and ultimately spend eternity in hell... and He chose to create them anyway! Knowing beforehand + creating anyway = Predestination to heaven or hell in your understanding! What happens between is irrelevant and does not change this accusation against your belief!

Christ died for all and therefore all died. All are dead right now. This is why it is written: "Wake up, O sleeper! Rise from among the dead and Christ will shine on you!" But who will hear this call and who will truly believe it? In Zechariah 13:8-9, God foretold that when the Day of refinement and testing comes, 2/3 of all the land will be struck down and perish but the 1/3 will be left in it. He will call them as his people and as a result, they will call God as their Lord.

Only the Bride has the grace of God. Only the Few will make it through the narrow hodos(way).

Rebecca Levine Don’t listen to the liars on tv,, ie. Copeland, Olsteen, Meyers, Hinn, all the good-time preachers who rob people by selling Jesus. I love listening to Jim, I also love to hear Les Feldick teach, Les really gave me some clarity on the Word, of course I got the gift of Holy Spirit in Jan of 2020, I have read the Bible on and off for 6 decades, I learned enough that the Lord used it in me, my life was miserable, I ran from any true relationship with the Lord. But, we are to live today and live in the present moment, it’s all we have promised to us is right now, but we just don’t count on being here tomorrow, we seek God in all situations, thanking him for all things, good and bad, enough of the bad will drive people right where they belong, in the presence of Almighty God! God bless you.

Flora Childress it’s been a long time since I made this comment! I’ve learned a lot and have been in my Bible, in prayer and thanks giving every day just loving our Lord! I don’t listen to any of those preachers you mentioned... when I was searching for truth teachers it was discouraging to say the least... everyone puts a spin on our Lords words! Our Father words are precious to me and I learned to rely on the Holy Spirit for teaching... I have in my search found a couple of teachers and I thank God for them... as far as my comment on making plans... that was at such an early time in my walk! Now I just live Day to Day! I have given myself to our Father and I hope he uses me to bless others! Especially in light of our difficulties today! Thank you for your lovely comment sister! I hope you are blessed and filled with our sovereign LordJesus!

His doctrine is crazy! We have a lady at the group -home who said she ordered some Miracle water from "Peter PopOff" Jiminy Cricket! I asked her did she get her 100 fold back or a new house? Nope! Nope We also have a lady named Sara who is 32 who has watched some of your DVDs with my family. She knocked on my door the other day and verbatim said "you have anymore of those Jim Dvds?" I'm not accustomed to that with this doctrine. its awesome to wittness a sheep come to the fold. She picked this video to watch on KZfaq.....
