PRAYER 23, June 25th Part 7 of 7. THE LOOK OF FAITH

Father, glorify Thy [Your] Son that Thy Son may glorify Thee [You]. Holy Spirit, do Thine [Your] office [purpose] and take of these things of Christ and reveal them [make them known] unto us. We gather up [collect] all our prayers in that salvation through the blood of the Lamb, [The Lord Jesus Christ]. Amen.

ANECDOTE 323: June 25th GOD LISTENING TO PRAYER.

A good brother of my acquaintance, a minister of the gospel, going [beginning] to preach from the text that God will hear prayer, called upon [visited] one of his poor people, who said when the visit was over that she had greatly enjoyed his call [his visit].

He thought to himself, “I have scarcely said a word, and yet she says that I have done her good.” Turning to her, he inquired, “Sister, how can I have done you good, for I have hardly spoken with you?”

“Ah, sir,” she replied, “you have listened so kindly: you have heard all I had to say, and there are very few who will do that.”

Just so. [That’s it] People in deep trouble like somebody to hear them all through: even little children are comforted by telling mother all about it.

We are in such a hurry with poor troubled spirits [people] that we hasten them on to the end of the sentence, and try to make them skip the dreary details. But to them this seems unkind, for their story is sacred; and therefore, they go slowly on with it, till we are quite tired. I have often hurried on a poor despondent creature till I have seen the uselessness [rushing them] of it: it is always best to let them spin on [keep telling their story]. It does them good.

To tell out [speak from] the heart to a patient listener is a great relief to a burdened spirit, and the heart must do it in its own way. Here is a sweet assurance,

“My God will hear me.”

I may be very bad, and what I say may be very broken, and I may groan a good deal, and I may say the same thing over and over again, and my whole ditty [story] may be very stupid ; but,

“My God will hear me.”

He is in no hurry: he is the God of patience. He will listen to my dreary talk, and endure each gloomy particular.

I need not hold him as the Ancient Mariner (Click for Complete text of Poem) held the wedding guest who was unwilling to hear his weary rhyme of the sea:

my God will willingly listen to me right through, from beginning to end, groans and all.

“My God will hear me.”

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK June 25th A STAIRCASE TO HEAVEN (Jacob’s Ladder)

By C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892

-And he [God] saith [says] unto him, [Jacob]

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man [Jesus Christ] - John 1:51

Y dicele: De cierto, de cierto os digo: De aqui adelante vereis el cielo abierto, y los angeles de Dios que suben y descienden sobre el Hijo del hombre- Juan 1:51

Yes, to our faith this sight is plain even at this day [today]. We do see Heaven opened. Jesus Himself has opened that kingdom to all believers. We gaze [look] into the place of mystery and glory, for He has revealed it [made it known] to us. We shall enter it soon, for He is the way.

Now we see the explanation of Jacob’s ladder. Between earth and Heaven there is a holy commerce [business]; prayer ascends, and answers come down, by the way of [through] Jesus, the Mediator.

We see this ladder when we see our Lord.

In Him a stairway of light now furnishes a clear passage to the throne of the Most-High.

Let us use it, and send up by it the messengers of our prayers. We shall live the angelic life ourselves if we run up to Heaven in intercession, and lay hold upon the blessings of the covenant, and then descend again to scatter those gifts among the sons of men.

This choice sight which Jacob only saw in a dream we will turn into a bright reality. This very day we will be up and down the ladder each hour; climbing in communion, [while we pray] and coming down in labor to save our fellow-men.

This is thy promise, O Lord Jesus, let us joyfully see it fulfilled.

Prayer: Thank You Lord Jesus, for this, that was also given to Jacob in a dream. Thank You that it has become a treasured reality to me and all those who trust in You. You give much more than we can imagine through Jesus who ascends and descends to the Father on our behalf. Help me [us] to be in close prayer fellowship with You, moment by moment. Please help me to be always in communion with You. In Your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

MORNING June 25 "GET THEE UP INTO THE HIGH MOUNTAIN." —Isaiah 40:9

-Súbete sobre un monte alto — Isaías 40:9

OUR knowledge of Christ is somewhat like climbing one of the Welsh mountains [in Wales]. When you are at the base you see but little: the mountain itself appears to be only one-half as high as it really is.

Confined in a little valley, you discover scarcely anything but the rippling brooks as they descend into the stream at the foot of the mountain. Climb the first rising knoll, [hill] and the valley lengthens and widens beneath your feet. Go higher, and you see the country for four or five miles round, and you are delighted with the widening prospect. Mount still [go higher], and the scene enlarges; until at last, when you are on the summit and look east, west, north, and south, you see almost all England lying before you.

Yonder [over there] is a forest in some distant county, perhaps two hundred miles away, and here the sea, and there a shining river and the smoking chimneys of a manufacturing town, or the masts of the ships in a busy port. All these things please and delight you, and you say,

"I could not have imagined that so much could be seen at this elevation."

Now, the Christian life is of the same order [like this, too].

When we first believe in Christ [The Messiah] we see but little of Him. The higher we climb the more we discover of His beauties. But who has ever reached the summit? Who has known all the heights and depths of the love of Christ that passes knowledge?

Paul, when grown old, sitting grey-haired, shivering in a dungeon in Rome, could say with greater emphasis than we can,

"I know whom I have believed,"

for each experience had been like the climbing of a hill, each trial had been like ascending another summit, and his death seemed like gaining the top of the mountain, from which he could see the whole of the faithfulness and the love of Him to whom he had committed his soul.

Get up, dear friend, [climb] into the high mountain.

EVENING June 25th "THE DOVE FOUND NO REST FOR THE SOLE OF HER FOOT."

—Genesis 8:9

—No halló la paloma donde sentar la planta de su pie —Génesis 8:9

READER, can you find rest apart from the ark, Christ Jesus? Then be assured [if you can find such rest] that your religion [faith] is vain.

Are you satisfied with anything short of a conscious knowledge of your union and interest in Christ? Then woe unto you. [shame on you!]

If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full satisfaction in worldly pleasures and pursuits, your profession is false. If your soul can stretch herself at rest, and find the bed long enough, and the coverlet [bedspread] broad enough to cover her in the chambers [acts] of sin, then you are a hypocrite, and far enough from any right thoughts of Christ or perception of His preciousness.

But if, on the other hand, you feel that if you could indulge in sin without punishment, yet it would be a punishment of itself; and that if you could have the whole world, and abide in it forever, it would be quite enough misery not to be parted from it, for your [True] God.

—your God—is what your soul craves after [must have] ;

then be of good courage, you are a child of God.

With all your sins and imperfections, take this to your comfort: if your soul has no rest in sin, you are not as the sinner is! If you are still crying after and craving after something better, Christ has not forgotten you, for you have not quite forgotten Him.

The believer cannot do without his Lord; words are inadequate to express his thoughts of Him.

We cannot live on the sands of the wilderness, we want the manna [heavenly food] which drops-from on high; our skin bottles of creature confidence [comforts] cannot yield us a drop of moisture, but we [must] drink of the rock which follows us, and that rock is [Jesus] Christ.

When you feed on Him your soul can sing,

"He hath satisfied my mouth with good things, so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's,"

but if you have Him not, [don’t have Him] your bursting [over-filled] wine vat [tank] and well-filled barn can give you no sort of satisfaction:

rather, lament [sorrow] over them [earthly wealth] in the words of wisdom,

"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!"

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.

Psalm 139:6

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

In Defense of I John 5:7

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.”

Why The Traditional Greek Text Also Known As The Received Text [Latin: Textus Receptus] TR is Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable.

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.

By Dr. Phil Stringer

1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (That establishes the immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)

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.
______________________________________

The Critical Text vs. The Traditional Text

(Also Known As The Received Text , The Textus Receptus TR , and The Authorised Version AV and AKJV)

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.
