41 | The Benefits of Knowing God's Word | Ps 119:1 | prazn | 85814 | ||
Psalm 119 identifies the benefits of reading (hearing), knowing and doing the Word of God. Below are a few of the benefits for those believers who study the Word of God: 1)We will be blameless (complete, having integrity) – vs. 1. 2)We will not do unrighteousness – vs. 3. 3)We will not keep our way pure (undefiled by the ways of the world or of the flesh) – vs. 9. This is because God’s Word is pure – vs. 40. 4)We will not be ashamed – vs. 6. 5)We will be kept from sinning – vs. 11. 6)We will have an answer for those who persecute us – vs. 42. 7)We will walk in liberty (a broad place) – vs. 45. 8)We will have hope – vs. 49. 9)We will be revived (in our spirit) – vs. 50 and vs. 59. 10)The wicked will not prevail over us – vs. 61. 11)We will be an encouragement to other believers – vs. 74. 12)We will be comforted – vs. 76. 13)We will be saved out of our distresses – vs. 81. 14)We will be kept (preserved) from perishing – vs. 92. 15)We will not be destroyed by the wicked – vs. 95. 16)We will be wiser than our enemies – vs. 98. 17)We will have greater insight than “flesh and blood” teachers – vs. 99. 18)We will know the ways that are evil – vs. 101. 19)We will be taught by the Lord – vs. 102. 20)We will have understanding to discern false ways – vs. 104 and vs. 130, because God’s words are truth – vs. 140. 21)We will not stumble because God’s words will light our path – vs. 105 and vs. 164. 22)We will be established in our walk with the Lord – vs. 133. 23)We will not be overcome by iniquity – vs. 133. 24)We will not do what is wicked – vs. 150. 25)We will know what is True – vs. 163. 26)We will have great peace – vs. 165. 27)We will be helped by the Lord – vs. 173.

42 | Parallels? | Ps 119:1 | prazn | 85879 | ||
Thanks for the encouragement, Popdzl. It is not possible to follow Christ (the Word made flesh) and not study the Bible, because Jesus says: John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. John 15:8 "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. John 15:9 "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. John 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. Stay blessed! |

43 | Parallels? | Ps 119:1 | prazn | 86216 | ||
Amen! Phil 3:7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Phil 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, Phil 3:9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, Phil 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; Phil 3:11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Phil 3:12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Phil 3:13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. God bless you! prazn |

44 | How does God speak to us? | Ps 119:105 | prazn | 85815 | ||
God speaks to us through His word (i.e., the Bible), through the Holy Spirit, through His servants (i.e., the prophets) and through circumstances. | ||||||
45 | Proverbs 3 vs 1 - 12 | Prov 3:5 | prazn | 85512 | ||
Are you specifically referring to Proverbs 3:5-7, which states: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil."? If so, that scripture provides the answer itself. As Christians we are to trust in the Lord to tell us how to live this life. We demonstrate our reliance upon Him by praying to Him and reading the Bible. The Lord speaks to us through the Bible and through His Holy Spirit. Jer 8:9 declares the folly of relying upon our own wisdom ( or human reasoning) in living the Christian life: "The wise men are put to shame, They are dismayed and caught; Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD, And what kind of wisdom do they have?" Hope this helps. |

46 | Isaiah 9:6 | Is 9:6 | prazn | 85869 | ||
According to the Brown-Driver-Brigg's Hebrew Lexicon, the Word "Father" in the Hebrew means "Originator" or "Producer". However the key word to focus on in the text is "Everlasting". "Everlasting", in the Hebrew, means "eternal" Isaiah referred to Jesus as "The Everlasting Father". Meaning, He has always been our Father and will always be our Father. Jesus said,"I and the Father are one." John 10:30 Jesus also said, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" John 14:9 |

47 | A.D. and B.C. | Is 61:2 | prazn | 87872 | ||
Time began when God created the heavens and the earth. Time, which began with the creation of the earth until Christ's birth, is referred to as B.C. The time since Christ's birth is commonly referred to as A.D. Hence, B.C. means "before Christ". A.D. stands for "anno Domini" (latin), which means "the year of our Lord". When Jesus began His ministry on earth, He quoted the following, from the prophet Isaiah: Is 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; Is 61:2 To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD. His purpose in quoting the prophet was to proclaim that the prophecy was being fulfilled through Him. Notice that the Lord did not recite the remaining words in Is 61:2, concerning vengeance. That is because the Lord will not judge mankind until He returns to the earth a second time. God bless you! prazn |

50 | Speaking and calling? | Jer 35:17 | prazn | 87252 | ||
Hi Mommabps, The meaning of the word "spoken" in the Hebrew (according to the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon) is "to declare, to command, to warn or to threaten". The meaning of the word "called" in the Hebrew (according to Strong's) is "to bid, to invite, or to summon". Both definitions are specific to the context in which they were used in the scripture you cited. I haven't read the scripture in context, but perhaps what was happening could be likened to calling a toddler to come into the house, for lunch, several times. As you know, since you're also a mom, the toddler will not listen the first or second time that we call. However, in our third attempt to coax them inside, our tone of voice, and perhaps our words, may change: no longer are we inviting them; we're now telling them! "Get inside this minute, or else..." Hope this helps! |

52 | LET US HEED TO THE CALL | Matt 22:14 | prazn | 86055 | ||
What has been revealed to me about Matt 22:14 is that many are called to salvation, but few are chosen to follow our Lord (forsaking the way of the world, and even our own lives, for the sake of furthering the gospel of Jesus Christ). Notice that throughout the New Testament, the Lord saved those (the many) who professed their belief in Him. However, the Lord only chose the original 12 disciples (or apostles) to forsake their lives and follow Him. And, of the 12, only 3 (Peter, James and John) were permitted deeper revelation knowledge of the person of Christ. Were the multitude of people whom the Lord granted spiritual healing and restoration any less saved than the apostles? No. We'll see them in heaven right along with the apostles and the rest who are chosen to follow our Lord and to serve Him. Stay blessed! |

53 | Modern-day Pharisees and Scribes | Matt 23:9 | prazn | 85751 | ||
Any comments? Matt 23:1-28 23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; 3 therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things, and do not do them. 4 "And they tie up heavy loads, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. 5 "But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries, and lengthen the tassels of their garments. 6 "And they love the place of honor at banquets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called by men, Rabbi. 8 "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 "And do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 "And do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. 11 "But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 "And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. 13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from men; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14["Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, even while for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you shall receive greater condemnation.] 15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel about on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. 16 "Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.' 17 "You fools and blind men; which is more important, the gold, or the temple that sanctified the gold? 18 "And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering upon it, he is obligated.' 19 "You blind men, which is more important, the offering or the altar that sanctifies the offering? 20 "Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it. 21 "And he who swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells within it. 22 "And he who swears by heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it. 23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. 24 "You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! 25 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence. 26 "You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also. 27 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. 28 "Even so you too outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Well, my friend, the Lord obviously wanted your question answered. The following is excerpted from a book entitled, Adventuring Through the Bible: Matthew, Mark and Luke, by Ray C. Stedman. "Mark 8:22-26 goes on to record a very significant act of our Lord: Mark 8:22 And they *came to Bethsaida. And they *brought a blind man to Jesus and *implored Him to touch him. Mark 8:23 Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?" Mark 8:24 And he looked up and said, "I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around." Mark 8:25 Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly. Mark 8:26 And He sent him to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village." Notice the the setting of this story--the village of Bethsaida. Matthew describes Bethsaida as one of those cities Jesus had pronounced judgement upon, saying, Matt 11:21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Here is a city that has rejected our Lord's ministry and His person, and He will not allow any further testimony to go on in that city. He led the blind man out before He healed him. This is the only case where our Lord did not see an instantaneous, complete healing take place the first time He spoke. When the healing was complete, He would not even allow the healed man to go back into the village, for Bethsaida was a village under God's judgement for having rejected the ministry of the Servant of God." Wonder of wonders, I received this "Complimentary Study Resource" in the mail, several minutes ago. The book is published by RBC Ministries and can be ordered online at www.dhp.org/adventuring. After this happened, I could not help but to break into a chorus of "How Great Thou Art!" Stay blessed, dear one! |

60 | Jesus' advocacy towards poor | Mark 12:43 | prazn | 85320 | ||
There are different types of "poverty". Not only is there financial poverty, but poverty in the realm of the soul and/or the spirit. In Luke 7:22, Jesus says to John the Baptist's disciples, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM." With this statement, our Lord is obviously speaking about spiritual poverty. Notice that He didn't say, "the poor have been fed" or that "the poor have been given money with which to buy food." Similarly, in 2 Corinthians 8:9, Paul writes: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich." Our Lord was not financially wealthy when He walked on the earth (in fact, the Bible states that the women who followed Him provided financial support for Jesus and His male disciples). Consequently, the above verse is a reference to Jesus' spiritual poverty when He was forsaken by God the Father as He was dying on the cross. Through His death, we who believe on Him have been made spiritually wealthy. Jesus characterized the widow's contribution as being "more" than all other contributions to the temple or synagogue treasury. This may be because the widow was financially poor, but spiritually wealthy in that her contribution was motivated by her faith and obedience to Almighty God. It's easy to give to a ministry when you are wealthy, but not so easy to give when you're not wealthy. A person who gives out of their poverty is not expecting an earthly reward. "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all... things will be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33) |
