DEVOTION for October 10th 2025
_________________________________________________
Note: The New King James Version NKJV and all versions NOT translated from the Textus Receptus [Received Text] are inferior to the translation of the 1769 [1611] known as the Authorized Version AV and the King James Version, KJV. The Geneva Bible is also translated from the Greek Textus Receptus.
Only the Textus Receptus [Received Text] is sustained by the more than 5,321 Majority Greek Text MT Manuscripts and are in agreement with one another 99% . ALL OTHER readings have as their primary Greek source either Westcott and Hort’s or Nestle and Aland’s, Greek Texts fabricated from only a handful [45] of Majority Text Manuscripts and lack the trustworthiness produced in the inspired 1769 [1611] King James Version, KJV and the Geneva Bibles; the only two translated from the reliable, inspired and divinely protected Textus Receptus.

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy
(1) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIC5rUbs_-E&t=9s
(169 mins.)
The Bridge to Babylon video presents historical evidence that accounts for the explosion of over 100 different English version translations of the Bible. The continuing attempts to replace, add or take away from the 1769 King James Version of the Holy Bible can not prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His inspired Holy Words
from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion , error additions, subtractions and changes.

*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”.
It abbreviates Anno Domini;
It’s a Latin phrase adopted into English that means:
Come “Year of our Lord."

Is the website DAILYSPURGEON trustworthy?
Is it of God?
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everyone or everything] you hear but be testing the spirit [voice] whether it is of God: because many false prophets have gone [come] out into the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesses [avows] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come[who came] out of God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not [doesn’t audibly avow] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
I hereby confess, out-loud, that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.
[All translations of the Bible that use a Greek text other than the traditional and reliable Textus Receptus ignore the word “ictin” (the Greek word that means “is” in English). This omission causes “is here” to change its meaning from “is come” [is here] to “has come”.
This error is self-evident as non-believers, false prophets and even heretics can, and frequently do, declare that He “has come” [in the flesh.
While this is a true statement when taken at face value, the meaning “has come” is clearly not the same as “is here”; the valid test to discern between the Spirit of God and the spirit of antichrist.
The most well documented fact in all of recorded human history is that Jesus Christ [Messiah] “has come” in the flesh. The essential question, however, is not whether the spirit [words or person] being tested confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether Jesus Christ, “is here”, [present tense] (NOW) from God, in the flesh.
30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Compare, here, scripture with scripture: “I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here, of the body of Christ].

DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for October 10th * A.D. 2025 written and calendared by Charles H. Spurgeon.
The Lord Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, 1 John 4:2-4
was born of a virgin A.D. 2025 years ago. (PRESENT YEAR)
He’s alive today, has existed from the beginning as God’s eternal Word,
and He’s returning soon for his bride, the Church.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16
Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth:
for I am God and there is none else. Isaiah 45:22
* BCE/CE vs. BC/AD What’s the difference?
Learn the difference; defend the Truth. Won’t you?
A.D. does NOT mean “After Death” as many mistakenly believe. It is Latin for Anno Domini, a phrase adopted into English usage that means “Year of [the/our] Lord”. The complete original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. A.D. is used with B.C. Before Christ to divide all known history before and after the birth of Jesus Christ. ...More

SERMON: October 9th from Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle (London)
Is it Sickness or Sin? Isaiah 57:18 with Dr. Peter Masters
According to the Bible morally evil behavior is both. People sin knowingly and wilfully, and this turns into a disease, but one for which they remain responsible, because God's forgiveness and re-making is freely available. Here are the facts about conversion to the Lord.

PRAYER 12. Part 1 of 10 October 10th
ON HOLY GROUND.
Holy Ground by Bill and Gloria Gaither)
Sing-along won’t you? Today’s music came to mind from today’s PRAYER selection)
“OUR Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
We fear that we often begin our prayer with petitions for ourselves, and put our daily bread [agenda] before Thy kingdom, and the pardoning of our sins before the hallowing of Thy name. We would not do so today.
[ "But Not Today" a Poem by the late Bob Barry (Parkinson afflicted soldier of the Cross) Recorded and published by Dailyspurgeon.com]
-- guided by our Lord’s model of prayer, we would first pray for Thy glory; and here, great God, we would adore Thee [want to give pure love and adoration to You]. Thou hast [You have] made us and not we ourselves. We are Thy [Your] people, and the sheep of Thy [Your] pasture. [May] All glory be unto Thee [You], Jehovah, the only living and true God. With heart and mind, and memory and fear, and hope and joy, we worship [You] the Most High [God]. It well becomes us to put our shoes from off our feet [take off our shoes] when we draw near to God, for the place whereon we stand is holy ground. If God in the [burning] bush demanded the un-sandaled foot [bare feet] of the prophet [Moses], how much more shall God in Jesus Christ [The Messiah] [demand it]?
[In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ] Amen.
PRAYER 12. Part 1) October 10th
ANECDOTE: 70 October 10th Christ Brings Divine Inspiration and Enthusiasm.
The King is Coming by Bill and Gloria Gaither. (Sing-along won’t you?)
When great commanders are known to have come into a camp what a thrill of joy it causes among their trusty warriors. When the soldiers have been much dejected it has been whispered in their tents “The king has come to marshal us, [to direct us personally] Dressed in all his armor,” and from that moment every man has cheered up. At the sight of the king as he comes riding into the camp the host [army] raises a great shout. What means it? [What does the shout mean?] It is a shout of loyal love they are glad to welcome their leader. So is it with us when we sing “The King himself comes near,” we are all as glad as glad can be. Those who cannot come out to see their prince, because they are lying on their sick beds in hospital, clap their hands, while even the little children in their mother’s arms join in the general joy.
“The king is come, [is Here] ” say they, and his presence kindles their enthusiasm till they make the hills ring again. You know how the stern Ironsides [Cromwell’s soldiers] felt when Cromwell came along; every man was a hero when he led the way. They were ready for any adventure, no matter how difficult, as long as their great chief was there. That enthusiasm which was inspired by Alexander, and by Napoleon, and by other great commanders, is the earthly image of the spiritual fervor felt by the church when the Lord Jesus vouchsafes [guarantees] to be in the midst of it.
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK October 10th C.H. Spurgeon 1834 - 1892
OPEN DOOR OF COMMUNION
-I have set before thee [placed before you] an open door, and no man can shut it -Revelation 3:8
Saints who remain faithful to the truth of God have an open door before them. My soul, thou hast resolved to live and die by that which the Lord has revealed in His Word, and therefore before thee stands this open door. I will enter in by the open door of communion with God. Who shall say me nay? [Who shall say No?]
Jesus has removed my sin, and given me His righteousness, therefore I may freely enter. Lord, I do so by thy grace. I have also before me an open door into the mysteries of the Word [the Holy Bible]. I may enter into the deep things of God. Election, Union to Christ, the Second Advent [second coming of Jesus Christ] … all these are before me, and I may enjoy them. No promise and no doctrine are now locked up against me. An open door of access is before me in private, and an open door of usefulness in public.
God will hear me; God will use me. A door is opened for my onward march to the church above, [in Heaven] and for my daily fellowship with saints below. [on earth]
*Some may try to shut me up or shut me out, but all in vain. Soon shall I see an open door into Heaven: the pearl gate will be my way of entrance, and then I shall go in unto my Lord and King, and be with God eternally shut in.
Prayer: Thank You dear Lord that the open door You have set before me cannot be shut by anyone or anything. I receive this in your name, Lord Jesus. Amen.
*[Italics in the preceding paragraph, and sing-alongs are to present a friend’s poem are added by John Mark Publishing]
MORNING October 10th
"Faultless before the presence of His glory. "— Jude 24
—Presentaros delante de su gloria irreprensibles— Judas 24
When We All Get to Heaven by Alan Jackson
When We All Get to Heaven (2) by Bill and Gloria Gaither
REVOLVE in your mind that wondrous word, “faultless!” We are far off from it now; but as our Lord never stops short of perfection in His work of love, we shall reach it one day. The Savior who will keep His people to the end, will also present them at last to Himself, as "a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but holy and without blemish." All the jewels in the Savior's crown are of the first water [purest elements, highest quality and color] and without a single flaw. All the maids of honor who attend the Lamb's wife are pure virgins without spot or stain. But how will Jesus make us faultless?
He will wash us from our sins in His own blood until we are white and fair as God's purest angel; and we shall be clothed in His righteousness, that righteousness which makes the saint who wears it positively faultless; yea, perfect in the sight of God. We shall be unblameable and unreprovable even in His eyes. His law will not only have no charge against us, but it will be magnified in us. Moreover, the work of the Holy Spirit within us will be altogether complete. He will make us so perfectly holy, that we shall have no lingering tendency to sin.
Judgment, memory, will [volition, desire] — every power and passion will be emancipated from the bondage of evil. We will be holy even as God is holy, and in His presence we will dwell forever. Saints will not be out of place in heaven; their beauty will be as great as that of the place prepared for them. Oh the rapture of that hour when the everlasting doors shall be lifted up, and we, being made meet [suitable] for the inheritance, shall dwell with the saints in light. Sin gone, Satan shut out, temptation past forever, and ourselves "faultless" before God—this will be heaven indeed! Let us be joyful now as we rehearse the song of eternal praise so soon to roll forth in full chorus from all the bloodwashed host [army of believers] ; let us copy David's exultings [ feelings of great happiness and excitement] before the ark as a prelude to our ecstacies before the throne [of God].
EVENING October 10th
"And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. "— Jeremiah 15:21
—Y librarte he de la mano de los malos, y te redimiré de la mano de los fuertes—Jeremías 15:21
NOTE the glorious personality of the promise. I will, I will. The Lord Jehovah Himself interposes to deliver and redeem His people. He pledges Himself personally to rescue them. His own arm shall do it, that He may have the glory. There is not a word said here of any effort of our own which may be needed to assist the Lord. Neither our strength, nor our weakness is taken into the account, but the lone I, like the sun in the heavens, shines out resplendent in all-sufficiency. Why then do we calculate our forces and consult with flesh and blood to our grievous wounding? Jehovah has power enough without borrowing from our puny [weak and skinny] arm. Peace, you unbelieving thoughts, be still, and
know that the Lord reigns.
Nor is there a hint concerning secondary means and causes. The Lord says nothing of friends and helpers: He undertakes the work alone, and feels no need of human arms to aid Him.
Vain [useless] are all our looking-arounds to companions and relatives; they are broken reeds if we lean on them—often unwilling when able, and unable when they are willing. Since the promise comes alone from God, it would be well to wait only on Him; and when we do so, our expectation never fails us. Who are the wicked that we should fear them?
The Lord will utterly consume them; they are to be pitied rather than feared. As for terrible ones, they are terrors only to those who have no God to fly to, for when the Lord is on our side, whom shall we fear?
If we run into sin to please the wicked, we have cause to be alarmed, but if we hold fast our integrity, the rage of tyrants shall be overruled for our good. When the fish swallowed Jonah, he found him a morsel [Jonah] which he could not digest; and when the world devours the church, it is glad to be rid of it again [cannot digest it either]. In all times of fiery trial, in patience let us possess our souls [do right, and refuse to sin].
[You too can cast your cares on the Lord…
-
Call on Him. As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.. ...Psalm 55:16
-
Trust Him. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass ... Psalm 37:5
-
Come to Him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.. Matthew 11:28
-
Give Him the burden. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22]
MISSION PURPOSE:
Our aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ in everything. We rely wholly upon the Holy Spirit to impart God’s divine revelation to us from His Word, the Holy Bible. With God’s help, we will follow Jesus. We expect that lost souls will be saved, believers, comforted, strengthened and encouraged. To God be all the glory.
The Bible is God’s divinely inspired [God breathed] revealed, infinite, eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable Word to all mankind. This divine, supernatural Word brings all revealed truth to the world. We purpose, therefore, to follow God’s Holy Word, Personal guidance and guidance to the local church comes by His Word.
Hence, we resolve, God helping us, to read, study, meditate-on, trust-in and obey God’s revealed and divinely preserved Word, holding it to be the supreme authority and the only divinely established Stare Decisis [Latin: to stand by that which is decided] in all things.
Therefore, the purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to publish and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature, ministering God’s love to all, especially those in the household of faith. The Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired, (God breathed) inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, divinely protected and preserved Word of love and salvation to the entire world. It is also the essential foundation of this ministry.
History: The inspired preaching, teaching and writing of Charles Haddon Spurgeon is all empowered by God’s revealed Word the Bible. His written publications continue to benefit readers through authentic Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching. This ministry continues to flourish from (Spurgeon’s) Metropolitan Tabernacle, (Brief History) a church fellowship that was begun in 1650. The building was constructed by members of the congregation in 1861.
We present Spurgeon's printed materials for the edification of the church body as well as for the benefit, blessing and gospel challenge to all readers. Our desire is that the written Word of God will become the Living Word in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ to each and every reader.
To this end, DailySpurgeon.com is offered to encourage and provide opportunity to hear Gospel preaching, and to engage in daily devotional meditation, Bible study and prayer. Careful adherence to Spurgeon’s calendar and original, unabridged text is given herein.

These publications were written by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.
No servant of God has left a greater legacy of presenting the Gospel to the world in the English language. (Now translated into many other languages) Spurgeon is widely read with great benefit. He is a beloved pastor and founder of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England, still thriving TODAY. You’re invited to Live-stream worship services from London with Dr. Peter Masters, current pastor since 1960.
Prayer: Dear Lord, empower your ministry to win many souls, and serve those in need, especially those in the household of faith, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company does not solicit praise of Charles H. Spurgeon or his writing or preaching. He didn’t need or want it then and wouldn’t desire it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach HIM only and him crucified.
Precaution: These Messages and prayers will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus nor gathering for corporate worship. Neither do they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word.
The Authorized King James version (AKJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the preferred English Bible because it is rendered [translated into English] accurately and faithfully from the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] and the Hebrew Masoretic Text that bring the greatest glory to God and thereby avoids doctrinal error, inaccuracies in translation, editorial changes or ambiguous readings found in other translations. It is distinguished further by the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. No other [person or publisher] may print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.
Printed Prayer: Printed prayers must not be read or offered as a substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. They are offered, rather, to warm the hearts of those who will presently seek a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart fellowship and prayer with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Authentic revelations from God during prayer are always consistent with His revealed Word, the Bible.
Preaching Preparation: When preparing to preach from a specific, scriptural text, please enter the text reference if you would like us to send you a Spurgeon Sermon from the same text.
My Prayer: Dear Father, is that You would touch, lift up, encourage and teach all who faithfully minister your Word. Bless all who minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Your blessing and holy anointing fall fresh upon each dear reader and abide with each one who rightly divides and faithfully proclaims Your Word [The Bible]. Please save many souls; and may all be glory be yours alone. I pray this in the name of our Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

SACRED LITER[jM1] ATURE:
ORIGINAL: The Pilgrim’s Progress Pub. by Logos,1853 from 1678 Original by John Bunyan
REVISED TEXT by Barry E. Horner: The Pilgrim’s Progrefs [sic]...
in Pilgrim’s Progress. (The World’s most widely circulated Allegory by John Bunyan, also credited, by some, as being the world’s first English novel.
IT’S FREE. No subscription required. You may choose to read at your own pace, or you may want to view DailySpugeon.com for daily encounters with Pilgrim.)
"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon's comment] of Mr. Bunyan’s picture of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [melody] , for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.
Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus; it is our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.
