Understanding Jesus’ Arrival: Matthew | Pastor Allen Jackson

[@worldoutreachchurch]

Let’s say to the Lord, “I’ll cooperate with You so Your purposes can make a difference-not only in my life, but in the generation coming behind me.”

[@rickysikes1631]

After receiving the Holy Spirit, the Lord led me away from the American church. He had me read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, 20th Century Martyrs- By Their Blood, Christian biographies, mission reports and Christian Testimonies through the centuries and all over the world. I saw a different church than the one I knew here. A church which suffered , but a church which lived by, was empowered by, and led by the Holy Spirit. I cried, sometimes I screamed somewhere alone so as not to scare my kids. I wept, and was terrified but also rejoiced at the same time. I saw that the book of Acts was still being written. I saw a church which loved the Word of God, loved the Lord Jesus unto death. I saw a church that forgave the most cruel sins committed against them. I saw Jesus building His kingdom. Church here became weak and sickly in comparison. Sermons pacified and brought no convictions of sin, righteousness ,or judgment. They were all psychological and even the songs seemed more praising of us than of God. I wanted what they had and drew closer to God. I wanted Him. Life became much more difficult. God taught me to pray, but also led me into the wilderness with Him. The denomination I was raised in excommunicated me. My own mother told me I was going to hell, and my husband became mentally ill. We adopted 8 kids when we were treatment foster care parents. I have heard the voice of the Lord many times and witnessed miracles. Walking with the Savior is the hardest and the highest life to live. But it will challenge everything and bring the most peace and trouble, both joy and sorrow. I have seen decades ago where we were headed. I believed David Wilkerson about America, but did not realize it would be the whole world. I went to the Lord very concerned about never denying Him with the coming persecution. He said,” You are sealed.” And I was comforted by Him. Let us all be faithful unto death.

We do not say to the Lord, " If I do this or that, you will do so and so." It is up to our Lord to do as He Pleases. Our Love, Heart, And our Obedience moves our Lord to do.his Desires for our generation and the generations to come. It has to be our Lord's final word.

Do you know how long I've been praying to hear a word/message l😅Ike this?

[@Brewdiss]

I asked Jesus to ride with me the other day in a snowstorm. I asked Him to protect my truck and everyone around me. He did. 🤘😎

[@almeydarm]

[@glendagaskin151]

He has become a great blessing to me.

[@VeraMoss-gh2vp]

Thank you Pastor Allen for the truth that you teach and preach from Scripture as it relates to the world today. May God Continue to bless you and Your World Outreach Church to give these Messages to the world.

[@brucedavenport285]

You did a wonderful job- It spoke to me with strong insight! God be praised for his word and prophecies! He wants us to be awakened so we will diligently seek Him- thanks for helping us..

[@karenkeating1885]

You engage our minds, hearts and spirits with an authority that isn’t authoritarian! You put us IN the story ..and humbleness and the seeking of Him become and Are the offshoot. Praise God for you Pastor!❤

[@bonitasawyer99]

❤this was super fantastic 😊 thank you for your relationship with God....I was blessed......❤😊

[@montegtaylor]

Great sermon and thank you for showing us how to be bold in the faith.

[@anneanthony9134]

May God protect you from the devil. You speak the truth and help me realize how important the truth is from the holy Bible

[@Jackie-o2w]

[@corrievanherwaarden2299]

What a brilliant serves, I watch as much as I can as he is so well understood and I bless him and God will be so pleased. But suddenly over some of his messages he is making a mistake I keep hearing and that really disturb me. No where in the New Testement is there found anything about tyding. And rightly so as it was in the Old Testement for the sins offerings the 10% of all you stock and weat. When Jesus game to offer his life to die that was to forgiveness for our sin so the ten % wasn't required any more. As Paul in Corinthians 8 . 8 -13 tell you. Give and give more if you can but don't give what you don't have. It is a free offering. Please tell your truth in preaching. My God bless you teachers of the high God.

[@777tadpole]

Great sermon.....so glad God has raised up some mighty men of God to speak His word.

[@kristenspencer9751]

I have often wondered if Mary or Joseph recalled the prophecy. Both of them resided in Nazareth which was home to a very devout group of Jews. Boys were educated...not just in reading and math, but in the scriptures. In grade school, they memorized the Torah. The brightest students went on to tutelage under the religious teachers, and the rest took on a trade...like the family trade. So Joseph would have been a carpenter. As for Mary, it's possible that Elizabeth reminded her of prophecy. Afterall, she was the wife of a priest...Zechariah. He would have known well the prophecies regarding the Messiah. Would have been a great comfort to Mary. During this time, there were pockets of those who had begun to talk about Messiah and anticipate His arrival. Simeon was so certain that the timing was close at hand. He yearned to see Messiah, but he was already quite old. The Spirit confirmed that he would not die without seeing God's promised One. And there was Anna, too. In the temple day and night b/c she knew the parents would bring the child to there 8 days after he was born for dedication. So at Jesus's FIRST coming, the Holy Spirit began letting certain people know the time was soon. How could it be any different concerning His 2nd coming?

[@brucedavenport285]

Amen! I was just talking to my sister about those very things- can you imagine how Mary felt when she came to the realization that there was prophecy about her all the way back in Genesis 3:15- whether she knew this or not we know she had learned and prophetic people surrounding her- it lets me know the great and awesome role women play in God's design- past present and future!!

[@Susan-nf3qq]

I wonder how many people did some math on when Jesus was born and the marriage of Mary and Joseph. If it had happened nowadays there would have been .

[@VeraMoss-gh2vp]

What a privilege it is to listen to Pastor Allen's messages. A time when everything in the world is so different now. from when I grew up. His sermons always have hope; love and truth that we can carry with us. May God continue to bless him and his family, and World Outreach Church.

[@Jackie-o2w]

[@Susan-nf3qq]

At the time of John baptizing were there also Gentiles being baptized and if so did they know about prophecy that the Jews were taught .

[@glendagaskin151]

John only preached to the Jews. So did Jesus for that matter. He said I came into my own and they didn’t receive me “.

[@glendagaskin151]

Always remember that every teaching must have a direct teaching in the Bible.

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

I want to know why you, Pastor Allen, would say the Magi saw Jesus at the stable in Bethlehem? They found the child in Egypt and he was not a baby anymore. Where were the shepherds who tended their flocks, the sacrificial lambs, (I think that point is important to be aware of, considering Jesus was the ultimate sacrificial lamb). The Angel of God told them to come and see Him, which they did. I think that was a large part of the Christmas story that was glossed over. I am not trying to be a know it all because I don't know much. I was just surprised. I have just found you yesterday, 01/08/23, through my sister and already you have taught me so much. Thank you for allowing God to use you as s a vessel to open our eyes, hearts and mind to who God is.❤

[@robinbrodowsky9394]

That was a great, great sermon. Let me ask you something, I m guessing Clay Clark has the spirit of John the Baptist. Check it out, humm. I'm Lutheran and its really not accomplishment to be the frozen chosen. Lol . I'm always on the hunt. To look and see. Thank you so much. Also there are a great amount of people who are dying especially children, that is not a happy thing, great sadness, sorrows. Again I pondered. Thank you for expanding my mind, in such great terms

[@loriirminger6597]

Thank you Pastor!

[@Susan-nf3qq]

Was the "star" from God or Satan ? I thought it was Satan, to show Herod where the baby Jesus was so he could kill him .

[@annastevenson2817]

John knew the prophecy in Isaiah was about him, John 1-23

[@KathrynBriley]

Would you please put exact dates the messages are preached and uploaded?

Great message. Praise Jesus

[@YvetteJirsaraie-gp7oi]

Lord, so many people who we grew up with in our birth townships, no longer know God. Just like what is written in the Book of Micah, regarding the children of rebellion, likened to the children of entitlement, destroying our landmarks and monuments in the name of democracy! God forbid!! Yes, Lord, we are awake and on assignments of Love, joy, faith, kindness, peace, gentleness, goodness, mercy, perseverance, and Self-control, loving our neighbors as ourselves. In Jesus name. Amen🇺🇸 🙏

[@YvetteJirsaraie-gp7oi]

Wake up everybody and understand what your true callings are. Isaiah 54 ❤ More are the children of the desolate than the married woman. Proverb women lets go! Halalujah ❣️🇺🇸 The heritage of the Saints is written in this Holy Bible.. Do your children see you reading the Bible Daily? Folly and her children are watching soap operas, wasting time on social media!

[@YvetteJirsaraie-gp7oi]

The revival is in our hearts and minds. Its amazing grace. We were lost but now found! Hallelujah 🙏
