Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
  • By the hands of the apostles = were many signs and wonders wrought among the people
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
  • The people believe in the apostles
  • They believe the apostles would anoint them
  • They believed God would heal them
17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
  • Here we see that the apostles were doing as God told them to do.
  • What happens?
  • The high priest rose up, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation
  • These high priest are called false pastors
  • Who are these false pastors?
  • Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
  • God does the healing = not man
  • James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
  • What do you do, if any sick among you?
  • To pray to God for a healing, and you ask for a healing in Jesus name.
  • Let him call for the elders of the church
  • Let them pray over him
  • Anointing him with oil, in the name of the Lord
  • Any time you are sick, take some olive oil, anoint your forehead, and Pray to the Father to help you get better and ask in the name of Jesus name, amen.
  • James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
    16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
    After Christ died on the Cross for our sins, you can ask God for a healing, anointed your forehead, and pray to God for a healing, and ask in Jesus name.
  • John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
  • I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
  • When you pray, Pray to the Father, and ask your needs in Jesus name
18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
  • Who ordered to put the apostles in prison?
  • The so called high priest, this man was not of God
  • Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
  • The angels of the Lord opened the prison doors
  • Remember the last days, God's very elect will be delivered up
  • Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake
  • Matthew 2413 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
  • Matthew 2422 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
  • Why are the very elect delivered up?
  • Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
  • Act 2: The apostles were delivered up (Another type of the end days)
  • Who will be killed? God's two witnesses
  • 4th vial will be poured out (Revelation 16) God's two witness will be here on earth to lead God's elect.
  • Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
  • Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit (Satan) shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
  • The Two witnesses finish their testimony. Satan shall make war against them. Satan shall overcome them and kill them.
  • Revelation 11: 5 - if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed
  • Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
  • Revelation 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
  • In the Greek this word ''fear'' is ''phobos'' (5401)
  • It will be a paralyzing fear beyond anything that can be described by man
  • When these two bodies gloriously, with the Shekinah glory covering them, rise up from the dust to meet Jesus.
  • Revelation 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
    What happen just before the Lord's Day?
    Revelation 11:5 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
  • The seventh angel that sounds the seventh trumpet in this verse, continues to sound through Revelation 20:15
  • You're seeing a type of the latter days.. just before the Lords Day
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
  • The apostles were teaching God's word
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.
  • But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,

23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
  • The men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
  • The chief priest brought them without violence: for they feared the people
  • Why?
  • The people believe they were of God.
  • Because they were teaching God's word and anointing the sick, And God was healing the sick
  • Only God can heal you, man can anointed and Ask God to heal you.
  • God that does the healing.
  • Just as the end days, once God's elect are deliver up, and the 144,000 that were sealed by the elect,
  • Their eyes will be open to the truth (These will pray for the mountains to fall on them), because they know they were deceived by the false pastors, and Satan
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
  • They had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
  • Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name?
  • I ask again, can you see this is not a man of God, just as the end days
  • Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
  • Why, Because it's a lie
  • What happen when Christ comes?
  • All will be changed into their own spiritual body, at the last trumpet
  • If you are still in your flesh body = you know that Christ has not return
  • 1 Cor 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
    52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: (7th trumpet) for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead (
    spiritual dead, without Christ you are dead) shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
    53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
    54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
  • Spiritual dead means you don't know God's word, Without the Lord you are dead, they are dead to the truth and they do not have an opportunity to have eternal life until, After the teaching, or the end of the millennium. dry bones in (Ezekiel 37) Luke 20:38 For He is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him
  • Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
  • 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
  • 5th trump - Satan cast out of heaven with his angels
  • 6th trumpet Satan appears saying he God, standing in Jerusalem
  • Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him
  • Who are God's elect?
  • These have the seal of God in their forehead = The seals of God = God's plan
  • The elect knows God's plan, Because they have studied God's word not man words
  • Seal of God in your forehead = You Know God's Plan & know What's Happen, at the sixth seal, sixth trumpet and the sixth vial = You Studied God's word (Revelation 9). The seal of God in the forehead is simply that your mind is impregnated with the truth of Jesus Christ, or to put it in other words, knowing His full truth and doing His work. It is exactly the opposite of the mark of the beast.. the work of your hands
  • Bible study hour: Seal of God
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
  •  What did Peter said: We ought to obey God rather than men
  • This is your choice: follow God or Satan
  • All flesh are born - with free will = you can follow God or Satan
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
  • Read this verse again, who crucify Jesus?
  • The chief priest the false pastors (Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21)
  • Matthew 27: The chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
  • To give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
  • Now they want to slay the apostles
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
  • Gamaliel, a doctor of the law is the one that taught Paul
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
  • All that of man = will come to nothing
  • Man cannot save you
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
  • It's your choice: follow God or Satan - man's words
  • Who's going to wait on God?
  • The tribulation of Satan = 6th trumpet ( Matthew 24, Mark 13)
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
  • When they had called the apostles and beaten them
  • They commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go
  • They = Satan children are the false pastors
41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
