A SINNER'S PRAYER June 29th

________________________________________

PRAYER 24, June 29th Part 4 of 11 DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

As for those that never have been washed, we repeat our prayer for them. Bring them, Oh! bring them at once to a sense of sin. Oh! that we might see them take their first complete washing, and may they become henceforth the blood-washed and blood-redeemed [blood-bought] consecrated ones, belonging forever unto Him [Jesus Christ] who has made them white [pure] through His atoning sacrifice. [Thank you dear Lord for the convicting power of the Holy Spirit and for your sacrifice on the cross for all believers, in Your name, Lord Jesus, I pray, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 327: June 29th MEDITATION.

Meditation is to the soul what oil was to the body of the wrestlers. When those old athletes went out to wrestle, they always took care before they went to oil themselves well to make their joints supple and fit for labor. Now, meditation makes the soul supple, makes it so that it can use things when they come into the mind.

Who are the men that can go into a controversy and get the mastery? Why, [well] the men who meditate when they are alone.

Who are the men that can preach? Not those who gad about and never commune with their own hearts alone; but those who think earnestly, as well when no one is near them as when there is a crowd around them.

Who are the authors who write your books, and keep up the constant supply of literature? They are meditative men. They keep their bones supple and their limbs fit for exercise by continually bathing themselves in the oil of meditation.

How important, therefore, is meditation as a mental exercise, to have our minds in constant readiness for any service.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK June 29th INVITATION TO PRAY
by C. H. Spurgeon

-Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not- Jeremiah 33:3

-Clama a mi, y te responderé, y te ensenaré cosas grandes y difíciles que tú no conoces-. Jeremías 33:3

God encourages us to pray. They [unbelievers] tell us that prayer is a pious exercise which has no influence except upon the mind engaged in it. We know better. [that its not true] Our experience gives the lie [shows this to be a lie] a thousand times over to this infidel assertion [unbeliever’s claim] .

Here Jehovah, the living God, distinctly promises to answer the prayer of His servant. Let us call upon Him again, and admit [allow to enter] no doubt upon the question of His hearing us and answering us.

He that made the ear, shall He not hear? He that gave parents a love to their children, will He not listen to the cries of His own sons and daughters? God will answer His pleading people in their anguish. He has wonders in store for them. What they have never seen, heard of, or dreamed of, He will do for them. He will invent new blessings if needful. He will ransack [run and grab from] sea and land to feed them: He will send every angel out of Heaven to succor [give aid to] them, if their distress requires it. He will astound us with His grace, and make us feel that it was never before done in this fashion. All He asks of us is that we will call upon Him.

He cannot ask less of us. Let us cheerfully render [give thought to and give] Him our prayers at once.

Prayer: Thank You Father, for Your invitation to pray with the knowledge that You will answer. We believe that You will show us great and mighty things we don’t know about. Help us claim this promise by faith, in Your name, Lord Jesus we pray, Amen.

MORNING June 29th

"Them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.” —1 Thessalonians 4:14

-Así también traerá Dios con él á los que durmieron en Jesús- —1 Tesalonicenses 4:14

LET us not imagine that the soul sleeps in insensibility [unconsciously] because scripture states:.

"Today you shall be with me in paradise,"

This is the whisper of Christ to every dying saint. They "sleep in Jesus," but their souls are before the throne of God, praising Him day and night in His temple, singing hallelujahs to Him who washed them from their sins in His blood. The body sleeps in its lonely bed of earth, beneath the coverlet of grass. But what is this sleep?

The idea connected with sleep is "rest," and that is the thought which the Spirit of God would convey to us. Sleep makes each night a Sabbath [time of rest] for the day.

Sleep shuts fast the door of the soul, and bids all intruders tarry [wait] for a while, that the life within may enter its summer garden of ease [rest]. The toil-worn believer quietly sleeps, as does the weary [tired] child when it slumbers on its mother's breast.

Oh! happy they who die in the Lord; they rest from their labors, and their works follow them.

Their quiet repose [rest] will never be broken until God rouses [wakes] them to give them their full reward. Guarded by angel watchers, curtained by eternal mysteries, they sleep on, the inheritors of glory, until the fullness of time brings the fullness of redemption.

What an awaking will be theirs! They were laid in their last resting place, weary and worn, but they will not rise as such. They went to their rest with the furrowed brow, and the wasted [worn out] features, but they wake up in beauty and glory.

The shriveled seed, so destitute of form and comeliness, rises from the dust a beauteous flower. The winter of the grave gives way to the spring of redemption and the summer of glory. Blessed is death, since it, through the divine power, disrobes us of this workday garment, to clothe us with the wedding garment of incorruption.

Blessed are those who “sleep in Jesus.”

EVENING June 29th

—Empero en lo de los embajadores de los príncipes de Babilonia, que enviaron á él para saber del prodigio que había acaecido en aquella tierra, Dios lo dejó, para probarle, para hacer conocer todo lo que estaba en su corazón. —2Crónicas 32:31

HEZEKIAH was growing so inwardly great, and priding himself so much upon the favor of God, that self-righteousness crept in, and through his carnal security, the grace of God was withdrawn for a time, in its more active operations.

Here is quite enough to account for his folly with the Babylonians; for if the grace of God should leave the best Christian, there is enough of sin in his heart to make him the worst of transgressors. If left to yourselves, you who are warmest for Christ would cool down like [the church in ] Laodicea into sickening luke-warmness, you who are sound in the faith would be white with the leprosy of false doctrine, you who now walk before the Lord in excellency and integrity would reel to and fro, [back and forth] and stagger with a drunkenness of evil passion.

Like the moon, we borrow our light; bright as we are when grace shines on us, we are darkness itself when the Sun of Righteousness withdraws Himself.

Therefore, let us cry to God never to leave us.

[Lord Jesus] Have You not said, "I the Lord do keep [take care of] it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep [take care of] it night and day"?

Lord, keep [take care of] us everywhere [wherever we may be].

keep [take care of] us when in the valley, that we murmur [whine and complain] not against Your humbling hand; keep [take care of] us when on the mountain, that we do not become giddy [light-headed] through being lifted up;

keep [take care of us] in youth, when our passions are strong;

keep [take care of] us in old age, when becoming conceited of our wisdom, we may therefore prove greater fools than the young and giddy [silly] ;

keep [take care of] us when we come to die, lest, at the very last, we should deny you!

Keep [take care of] us living,

keep [take care of] us dying,

keep [take care of] us [when we’re] laboring,

keep [take care of] us [when we’re] suffering,

keep [take care of] us [when we’re] fighting,

keep [take care of] us [when we’re] resting,

keep [take care of] us everywhere,

for everywhere we need You, 0h our God!

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 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.

Why Cults, False Teachers, Heretics and Critical Text adherents have tried to take 1 John 5:7 out of the Holy Bible.

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.)

Daniel Webster [Writer of the Webster’s Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?

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.

We’re Grateful.

Thank you, Lord, for DailySpurgeon.com a website to encourage and support personal devotions to the Lord Jesus. This ministry started with sending e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon to Jon Edward Riley and others he would include..

Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021.

His memory is honored here, giving honor to whom honor is due. We pray that through this and all other instrumentalities that God may effect, many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and supported to grow in personal devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ while being conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren.. Romans 13:7 Romans 8:28-29

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE: by Jon Edward Riley,

(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)

From an Indigenous, Irish, well beloved All-American son giving a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for in: “The heart of Freedom”

INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds at White Shield, North Dakota.

… a compassionate prayer of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the Military Service of Native-American Scouts serving the United States of America. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.

________________________________________

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood bought, born-again child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.

… Jon’s testimony is from one who, by grace through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is present with the LORD in glory forever. One with whom we’ll one day meet again.

Amen.

Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or,

Best of all, when an inspired, spontaneous praise from the Lord would just pop out from his joyful and loving heart.
