John wrote this Gospel while he was bishop of the church at Ephesus, during the period between 80 - 90 AD, and prior to the writing of 1, 2, and 3 John, and the Book of Revelation. This Gospel is often referred to as the “spiritual Gospel,” since it focuses on the spiritual aspect of Jesus’ ministry, emphasizing His divinity. Thus, he introduces Jesus as the Word, who was with God from the beginning, and is God. You can see more of Jesse C Jones work here: http://jessecjones.wordpress.com
The Book of Acts traces the history of the fledgling Christian church from its beginning through its growth to eventually influence the entire Roman empire. The Book of Acts records…
This Epistle was written during a brief stay of three months at Corinth, during Paul’s third missionary journey. The time of writing this letter is thought to be around 58 AD. The book of Romans is considered the great dogmatic epistle, and in it Paul gives an exposition of the Gospel in a systematic way that is widely recognized as the outstanding source of Christian doctrine in the Bible. One of the great doctrines of this epistle is that of justification by faith. Justification indicates that a person is freed from the penalty of their sin through faith, and they are accepted by God as worthy of being saved. In this epistle Paul indicates that the only way this can happen is for the sinner to stand in the righteousness of Christ, and have his sin atoned for: then it is as if the sin had not been committed.
The Bible states that our Lord Jesus Christ was born of the seed of David. Our book concludes that a regenerated (without a sin nature) seed, bonds with an egg in Mary’s body, to begin a gestation period ending nine-months later in a stable in the town of Bethlehem. When the Holy Spirit came upon Mary, the power of the Most High brooded over her much as He did when He created our world: to bring about a process that led to the birth of our Lord and Savior. Thus, Jesus was born of His father David, and His mother Mary, who was a descendant of David through His son Nathan (see Luke 3:23-38). This book describes the genealogy leading up to the Lord’s birth from the beginning to the flood, from the flood to Abraham, from Isaac through Judah, from Pharez through David, and ultimately to the birth of Christ.
The chapters in this book are about eight different subjects that seemed to me worth collecting into this volume: 1) believing or not believing what the Bible says about God; 2) Jesus taking our sins; 3) biblical forgiveness; 4) temptation(s), 5) the rapture/resurrection of God’s elect 6) when does God give the Holy Spirit, 7) strongholds, and 8) dead or alive. Although I (Jesse C. Jones) know that God has led me to write on many different subjects, and has given me guidance and insight in the writing, I do not know if others can, or will, accept this writing as truth from God’s Word. I have attempted to accurately interpret what the KJV of the Bible records on the subjects God has led me to, but in many cases what I have written differs from accepted Bible exposition. I hope that readers will be led to check everything I have written against God’s Holy Bible. If they do, this writing will certainly have achieved one of God’s purposes in putting me on this path. God has taught me much about Himself during this time, and that may be the purpose He had in convincing me to undertake this task: I have been greatly blessed by doing His will in this effort. The book is 171 pages.
Weighed in the Balances traces the path of a natural man becoming a spiritual man. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 says, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.” The book is 69 pages.
The wisdom of God is obviously beyond our comprehension, but with His book (the Bible), and guidance from the Holy Spirit, we may be able to grasp at least an inkling of His nature, as it relates to bringing some to eternal life. This is the task undertaken in this book. I can only pray that what is documented here accurately describes God’s purposes, thoughts, and understanding in this great mystery, so that some insight concerning these things can be conveyed to readers. This book is 86 pages.
I recently came across a prophecy by David Wilkerson having to do with the state of our nation, and its need for revival. He pointed out that we cannot have faith for revival unless we are convinced that God still wants to pour out His Spirit upon us. He makes his point here by comparing America to Judah, the Southern Kingdom of the Jews, after the Northern Kingdom of Israel had been conquered by Sargon, King of Assyria, in 722 B.C. “God had already divorced Israel, giving them . . . a certificate of divorce” (Jeremiah. 3:8). But now His attention was on Judah, a people who had cheated on Him and walked away from him. God still had a heart for Judah, and He came to them crying to see the certificate of divorce (see Isa. 50:1). He was saying, ‘Show Me your divorce papers! Prove to Me I ever put you away. It was you who walked away from Me! I did nothing to grieve or hurt you. I loved you the whole time. I came to you and I called to you!’ ” Editor's Note: This book was written before the overturn of Roe vs Wade in June 2022.
