Daily Word: Week 13

[VapinBill]

Galatians 3:26 (KJV)
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
– Isaiah 55:10-11

 

[VapinBill]

John 3:21 (KJV)
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
– Matthew 23:12

 

[Saintscruiser]

John 3:21 (KJV)
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
– Matthew 23:12

John 3:18-21King James Version (KJV)

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.


John 3:21 didn't make any sense to me as Jesus said that we should be VERY discreet about our deeds, so I had to look further. You know me, Bill. I believe it is now self-explanatory, don't you?

Matthew 23:12 - This too is self-explanatory!

 

[VapinBill]

Proverbs 12:2 (KJV)
A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.

In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
– Psalm 72:7-8

 

[Saintscruiser]

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
– Isaiah 55:10-11


I had to comment on this.........I didn't know that snow falls in the middle east. But, my husband just told me that it snowed in Israel on December 12, 2013. I looked at the pictures and it was a considerable snow. So, yes, it does snow in Israel!

Something else....why do I even think that I need to defend Almighty God's character! 'So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.' To me, that means the Word of God is it's own truth! We need to spread the Word. God will tell us what to say and when to say it.

Hebrews 4:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

So why can't I REMEMBER this verse?????? I know it, but I never remember what Book, chapter and verse.

 

[Saintscruiser]

In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
– Psalm 72:7-8


This Scripture had me pondering....'as the moon endureth?' What I have concluded is these two verses mean the same thing as far as time period.

Revelation 21:1 - And I saw a new heaven and new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

So, for me, this is a major foreshadow of what is to come. What does everyone else think?

 

[mightymen]

In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
– Psalm 72:7-8

I see it differently.

"In his days shall the righteous flourish"
I see this as - prophesy the of telling of the Christ and new age of Grace that we don't have to depend on our righteousness anymore, His Righteous was a seed that was planted on this earth by the Christ, those who believe in Him that seed turns into a tree that spreads many seeds. I see Jesus full of power that can't be exhausted, that power Jesus fills us with that power in Him is called Righteous

For it is written " Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you" - Luke 17:6.

"and abundance of peace "
I see this as - the peace we have in this world through the sacrifice of the Christ by the taken of His yoke.

"so long as the moon endureth"
I see this as - a sign for the present times, that His peace will be with us as long as the moon is in the sky.

"He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth."
I see this as - the king has come and He is in control and has power over everything that's on His earth.

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV)
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
– Psalm 37:23-26

Joshua 24:15b (KJV)
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Joshua 24 King James Version (KJV)

24 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.

5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.

6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.

7 And when they cried unto the Lord, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:

10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

11 And you went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girga....es, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.

12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods;

17 For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:

18 And the Lord drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the Lord; for he is our God.

19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the Lord: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

20 If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the Lord.

22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the Lord, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.

23 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of Israel.

24 And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.


I had forgotten the entire lead up to Joshua 24:15. Then I noticed that verse 15 was broken up and doesn't quite read like I always quoted it. I didn't realize that the Lord God had stirred up a hornets nest either. Oh I bet that was a sight! (Bill, you do make me do homework, and I love you through the love of Jesus for tickling my interest! )

Joshua stood strong among the people, making them choose whether they wanted to worship Almighty God or pagan gods. What a great leader! God knew what He was doing when He picked Joshua! I can honestly tell you that I am no leader. My husband is, but I am not. He can motivate people to do their best, while my patience runs thin. (I, true story, prayed for patience once. I never did it again. Then I prayed for wisdom, and wisdom tells me not to pray for patience! ) But anyway, I think this is a powerful story, and all the Praise, Honor, and Glory is Almighty Gods! Amein!!!

HELP!

This is new to me, I'm I a little confused with this verse.

I see it as Jacob trusting in himself and not in God or I'm I wrong?
I also see it as it was Jacobs fault for the Hebrews being put into bondage?

4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.


That's a very powerful chapter SC, My home is in a Jewish community and amazed what I see and hear others say.

 

[VapinBill]

1 John 1:8 (KJV)
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
– Luke 4:17-19

 

[VapinBill]

Luke 6:45 (KJV)
"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
– Ecclesiastes 5:19

No, Jacob wasn't under his own power. Remember that Joseph's 11 brothers sold him into slavery, taking his coat of many colors, putting lambs blood on it and told their father, Jacob, that Joseph was killed by a wild animal. It was many years later that Joseph had a chance to interpret Pharoh's nightmares about 7 years of plenty and 7 years of famine. Well, everyone was buying grain from Egypt (Joseph was in charge of the whole operation), and to make a long story short, his brothers came to buy grain, all was forgiven, and Joseph got permission from Pharoh for his entire family to move to Egypt where he, Joseph, could take care of them. Jacob didn't just rise one morning and decide to move to Egypt. When the Jewish population became plentiful, Pharoh, in fear of an uprising, put the Jews into slavery. You know the rest of that story. But Jacob wanted his bones to be buried in his homeland and that is why the children of Israel took his bones with them when they left with Moses.

 

[mightymen]

No, Jacob wasn't under his own power. Remember that Joseph's 11 brothers sold him into slavery,.

Let me try to explain how I see it.

First and most import we know that Scripture say's
1. All good things come from God.
2. We know that God is Righteous and there is no evil in Him.

Being put into bondage is not a good thing and is evil, when we trust in ourselves, we turn away from God thereby in our actions we are our saying we are equal with God - not drawing closer to God is evil a bad thing.

Jacob sent his children into Egypt to get grain because there was a drought, I'm seeing him as not trusting in the Lord but himself - from this I see that the children were put into bondage for 300 years. Now we know that God take things that are bad and bless us by turning them into good things.

Joseph being sold by his brother's into slavery was a bad thing, just another one of those times when God took what was meant for evil and turned into a good thing that blessed Joseph but also was the catalysis that allowed pharaoh to put the children to be put into bondage for 300 years, I see it this way, if Jacob didn't send his sons to Egypt to buy grain the children wouldn't have been put into bondage.

Slavery or Bondage is not a good thing and evil, so I know it wasn't from God - IMO: if it wasn't God's way, who's way was it? I know there's only two options available hearing God's or hearing satan I also know Scripture say's we are like sheep.

Maybe I'm wrong but all that slavery and bondage stuff is bad evil and not from God and I'm 100% positive it would have been better for none of that to happen.

What I do see from all of this is how Powerful God is, that He can take all that evil and use it for Good.

In the "New Heaven/New Earth" there's no need for either the Sun or Moon.... because GOD is the illumination.

" And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof." -Rev 21:23
