Take It By Force!!!

-----------------------The Gospel According to Matthew---------------------------------------------------------Chapter 11----------------------------------

1: And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.

2: Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

3: And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we wait for another?

4: Jesus answer and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

5: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preach to them.

6: And blesseth is he, whosoever shall not be offended of me,

7: And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

8.Butwhat went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft rainment? Behold they that wear soft clothing are in the kings houses.

9.But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you and more than a prohet.

10: For this is he of whom it is written, Behold I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare they way before thee

11.Verily I say unto you, among then that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: not withstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

The Writer of this book of Matthew is indeed Bro. Matthew himself, the great Tax Collector and one of the twelve disciples. This book is written and is address to the Jews. Why? Well Matthew is trying to Prove something to the Jews he is trying to prove that the Messiah which is Jesus Christ has already come. Jesus Christ is the long expected Messiah. Matthew is the book of generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, and the son of Abraham. This statement links Christ with the two of the great covenants that God had made with David consisted of the promise of a King to sit upon his throne forever {2 Sam. 7:8-13}. And God¡¦s covenant with Abraham promised that through him his families the earth would be blessed {Genesis 12:3}. David¡¦s son was a King. And Abraham¡¦s son was a Sacrifice. So this Book of Mathew opens with the birth of a King and it closes with the offering of a Sacrifice. And this was what Brother Matthew was trying to prove to the Jews that he was the Messiah because Prophecy concerning the Messiah had been Fulfilled.

The keyword of this book is Fulfilled. It 13x¡¦s that Fulfilled is throughout this book and just as Jesus Christ fulfilled every Prophecy in the bible I stop by to let somebody know that God has not forgot about your Promises that he made to you. I come to tell that Christ is going to fulfill every Promise that he has made, he going to fulfill the very promises that has been spoken and brought to your attention. So be not dismayed whatever betides God will take can of you. Lift up your heads o ye gates and be ye lifted up ye ever lasting doors and the King Listen that¡¦s a Promise the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this king of Glory The Lord Strong and Mighty Lift up your Head. I stop by to encourage somebody that God is not a man that he should lie neither the Son of Man that he should Repent. It¡¦s not in God Vocabulary to Lie. God will do just what he says. One more thing I want to leave with you to take home and that is that God Is Not Slack Concerning his Promises. So be encourage because God is going to do Just WHAT he said he¡¦s Gonna Do. All you have to do is just stand back and watch God Move on your Behalf because there is nothing to hard for God.

Hifi 3 people and say, ¡§God is Gonna Fulfilled¡¨

So Now in this book of Matthew the 11th Chapter. John heard about the works of Christ. He had predicted the coming of the Messiah just as the prophets of old had predicted. In his mind the Messiah was coming to baptize people with the Spirit of God and with fire. Christ had appeared upon the scene and was baptizing people with the Spirit of God, and the people were flocking around Him as though He was the Messiah. But He was doing nothing about baptizing people with fire, the messianic fire of judgment. To John’s mind Christ was fulfilling only half of the prophecies concerning the Messiah. John was confused. Was Jesus really the Messiah? He had to know. His whole life had been given over to the belief that Jesus was the Messiah. He sent two disciples to ask, and Jesus used the opportunity to vindicate His Messiah ship.
