TODAY'S DEVOTION: written by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
PRAYER 24, June 26th Part 1 of 11 DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
Sing: Seek Ye First The Kingdom of God with Lyrics (Sing-along won’t you?)
This PRAISE music came to mind from today’s PRAYER selection)
Pray: O GOD, let us not be formalist or hypocrites at this time in prayer. We feel how easy it is to bow the head and cover the face, and yet the thoughts may be all astray, and the mind may be wandering hither and thither, so that there shall be no real prayer at all. Come, Holy Spirit, help us to feel that we are in the immediate presence of God; and may this thought, lead us to sincere and earnest petitioning.
There are some who know not [don’t know] God; God is not in all their thoughts; they make no reckoning of Thee. Thou [You] glorious One, but [they] do their business and guide their lives as if there was no God in heaven or in earth.
Strike them now with a sense of Thy [Your] presence. Oh! that Thine [Your] eternal power might come before their thoughts, and now may they join with Thy [Your] reverent people in approaching Thy [Your] mercy seat. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen.]
(Attachment: PRAYER 24.doc)

ANECDOTE 324: June 26th PERSISTENT PRAYER.
“Oh !” say you, “I have been praying.” Yes, but a tree does not always drop its fruit at the first shake you give it. Shake it again, man ; give it another shake! And sometimes when the tree is loaded, and is pretty firm in the earth, you have to shake it to and fro, and at last you plant your feet, and get hold of it, and shake it with might and main [with all your might], till you strain every muscle and sinew to get the fruit down. And that is the way to pray.
Shake the tree of life until the mercy drops into your lap. Christ loves for men to beg hard. You cannot be too importunate [insistent]. That which might be disagreeable to your fellow-creatures when you beg of them, will be agreeable to Christ. Oh! get ye to your chambers [room]; get ye to your chambers [room], ye that -have not found Christ! To your bed-sides, to your little closets, and “seek the Lord while he may be found ; call ye upon him while he is near!”
May the Spirit of God constrain you to pray. May he constrain you to continue in prayer. Jesus must hear you. The gate of heaven is open to the sturdy knocker [one who knocks firmly and persistently] that affirms he will not take a denial. ________________________________________
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK June 26th IT WILL NOT BE LONG
by C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
-Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh [is getting close]- James 5:8
-Tened tambien vosotros paciencia; confirmad vuestros corazones: porque la venida del Senor se acerca- Santiago 5:8
The last word in the Canticle of love [Song of Solomon] is,
-Make haste, my beloved,- and among the last words of the Apocalypse [Book of the Revelation] we read, -The Spirit and the Bride say, Come-; to which the heavenly Bridegroom answers,
-Surely I come quickly.-
Love longs for the glorious appearing of the Lord, and enjoys this sweet promise — -The coming of the Lord draweth nigh [is getting close].- This stays [keeps and focuses] our minds as to the future. We look out with hope through this window. This sacred -window of agate- lets in a flood of light upon the present, and puts us into fine condition for immediate work or suffering.
Are we tried? Then the nearness of our joy whispers patience. Are we growing weary because we do not see the harvest of our seed-sowing? Again this glorious truth cries to us, -Be patient.- Do our multiplied temptations cause us in the least to waver? Then the assurance, that before long the Lord will be here, preaches to us from this text,
-Establish [focus] your hearts.- Be firm, be stable, be constant, -stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.- Soon, you will hear the silver trumpets which announce the coming of your King.
Be not in the least afraid. Hold the fort, for He is coming; yea, He may appear this very day.
Prayer: Thank You Lord Jesus, for your instruction of patience, We are encouraged and assured through the words of Solomon. Thank You that it ours because we trust in You. You encourage us much more than we imagine through the second coming of Jesus . Help me [us] to appropriate Your patience today. Give me a unshakable resolve [resolution] to be a doer of Your Word.
You may appear this very day.
In Your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen

MORNING June 26
"Art thou become like unto us?" —Isaiah 14:10
—¿Como nosotros fuiste?— Isaias 14:10
WHAT must be the apostate professor's [false prophet’s] doom when his naked soul appears before God? How will he bear [endure] that voice,
"Depart, you cursed; you have rejected me, and [now] I reject you; you have played the harlot [street walker of the night], and departed from Me: I also have banished you [sent you away] forever from my presence, and will not have mercy upon you." What will be this wretch's shame at the last great day when, before assembled multitudes, the apostate [false brother] is unmasked?
See the profane [those that use vulgar and blasphemous language] and sinners who never professed religion [faith in Jesus Christ], lifting themselves up from their beds of fire to point at him [the false brother]. "There he is, " says one, "will he preach the gospel in hell?" "There he is," says another, "he rebuked me for cursing, and was a hypocrite himself!" “Aha!” says another, "here comes a psalm-singer—one who was always at his [church] meeting; he is the man who boasted of his being sure of everlasting life; and here he is!"
No greater eagerness will ever be seen among Satanic tormentors, than in that day when devils drag the hypocrite's soul down to perdition [Hell].
John Bunyan, [author of Pilgrim’s Progress, the world’s most widely distributed Allegory] pictures this with massive but awful grandeur of poetry when he speaks of the back way to hell. Seven devils bound the wretch with nine cords, and dragged him from the road to heaven, in which he had professed to walk, and thrust [threw] him through the backdoor into hell. Mind that back way to hell, professors!
"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith." Look well to your state [examine your own heart]; see whether you be in Christ or not.
It is the easiest thing in the world to give a lenient verdict when oneself is to be tried [judged]; but 0h, be just and true here. Be just to all, but be rigorous to yourself. Remember if it is not a rock on which you build your house, when the storms come, great will be the fall of it.
0h, may the Lord give you sincerity, constancy, and firmness; and in no day, however evil, may you be led to turn aside.

EVENING June 26
"Having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. " —2 Peter 1:4
—Habiendo huído de la corrupción que está en el mundo por concupiscencia.
BANISH for ever all thought of indulging [going along with] the flesh if you would live in the power of your risen Lord. Something is wrong when a man who is alive in Christ wants to dwell in the corruption [practice] of sin. "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" said the angel to [Mary] Magdalene. [who was looking for Jesus at the empty tomb] Should the living dwell in the sepulcher [tomb]? Should divine life be immured [put together] in the charnel house [place where bones or bodies of the dead are deposited] of fleshly lust?
How can we partake of the cup of the Lord and yet drink the cup of Belial [Satan]? Surely, believer, from open lusts and sins you are delivered: have you also escaped from the more secret and delusive lime twigs [fake twigs used to trap birds] of the Satanic fowler? Have you come forth from the lust of pride? Have you escaped from slothfulness [laziness]? Have you clean [totally] escaped from carnal security? Are you seeking day by day to live above worldliness, the pride of life, and the ensnaring vice of avarice [love of money]? Remember, it is for this that you have been enriched with the treasures of God. If you be indeed the chosen of God, and beloved by Him, do not suffer [permit] all the lavish treasure of grace to be wasted upon you. Follow after holiness; it is the Christian's crown and glory.
An unholy church is useless to the world and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hell's laughter, heaven's abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come on the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church. 0h, Christian, the vows of God are upon you. You are God's priest: act as such [act like it!]. You are God's king: reign over your lusts. You are God's chosen; do not associate with Belial [Satan]. Heaven is your portion: live like a heavenly spirit, so you will prove that you have true faith in Jesus [Christ], for there cannot be faith in the heart unless there be holiness in the life.
Lord, I desire to live as one
Who bears a blood-bought name,
As one who fears but [only] grieving Thee,
And knows no other shame.

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF HIS NAME?
(1 One) His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”
(2 Two) His Name is INFINITE!
Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.
Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
(3 Three) His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!
(two issues: holy and eternal)
Psalm 72:17
“His Name shall endure for ever: His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.”
Psalm 99:3
“Let them praise Thy great and terrible name; for it is Holy.”
Psalm 111:9
“Holy and reverend is His name.”
Psalm 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD endureth for ever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:21
“Let all flesh bless His holy Name for ever and ever.”
(4 Four) His name is IMMUTABLE! [Unchanged and unchangeable]
Malachi 3:6
“For I am the LORD, I change not.”
Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have (1) a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon (2) the hope set before us.”
(5 Five) His name is INCOMPARABLE! [Without Equal]
Deuteronomy 4:35
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD He is God; there is none else beside Him.”
Deuteronomy 4:39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
(6 Six) His Name is INDESCRIBABLE! [No description adequately describes HIM]
El, Eloah, Elyon, Elohim, Adon, Adonai, - Yah, Yahveh
(The Names for GOD used 10,952 times in the Bible!)
____________________________________
To Abraham – His Name is El Shaddai [God Almighty, Abundant Provider, Provider of More than Enough]
Genesis17:1 ,
And when Abram was ninety and nine (99) years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I Am, the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.
By Dr. Phil Stringer
By Dr. Phil Stringer
1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (For The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)
Daniel Webster [Author of the Famous Webster Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you [Mr. Webster] to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?
His answer was, “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain HIM.”
________________________________
By Dr. David Sorenson
In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than both the Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, Primary Greek sources used in all Critical Text translations.
This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.
*The unique and final Greek Text so deemed, authorized and sanctioned by the Catholic Church and The Vatican.

The Lord Jesus *Christ
[*Anointed Messiah]
was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost, and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.
He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.
He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.] The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]
[The CHURCH] is HIS espoused [Legally Bound] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate their Marriage in the Marriag and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM”, is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.
“I and my Father are one”. John 10:30
________________________________
1 John 5:7 Is the fundamental scriptural basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and Pagans.
Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ
(*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.] John 10:30
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
THESE THREE ARE ONE. John 10:30
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Life of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three AGREE IN ONE. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son, [The LORD Jesus *Christ
*(The Anointed Messiah)].
GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation
By Dr. David Sorenson
In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]
The Traditional Text. Length: (33:56 minutes)
The Traditional Greek Text was printed, not written by Desiderius Erasmus and was used in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR].
Over Five Billion King James Bibles, the 1769 Edition [NOT the NEW King James Bibles based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible.
This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions Combined.
______________________________________
By Dr. David Sorenson
So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”
No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.
The issue is not translational.
Marketing ploys by publishing companies with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:
-
Easier to read.
-
More modern.
-
More accurate (Not true)
The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.
The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.
On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.
