PRAYER 24, Part 7 of 11 DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
Lord help Thy people to be right as parents. May none of us spoil our children; may there be no misconducted [dysfunctional] families to cry out against us. Help us to be right as masters [teachers]; may there be no oppression, no hardness and unkindness. Help us to be right as servants; may there be no eye service, [being diligent at work only when someone is watching] no purloining, [stealing] but may there be everything that adorns [honors and glorifies] the Christian character. Keep us right as citizens; may we do all we can for our country, and for the times in which we live. Keep us right, we pray Thee, as citizens of the higher country [The Kingdom of God]; may we be living for it, to enjoy its privileges, and to bring others within its burgess-ship [privileged jurisdiction] , that multitudes may be made citizens of Christ through our means.
[I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 330: July 2nd Magnifying the Ministry.
We find the most eminent of God’s servants frequently magnifying their office as preachers of the gospel. Whitfield was wont [accustomed] to call his pulpit his throne; and when he stood upon some rising knoll to preach to the thousands gathered in the open air, he was more happy, [happier] than if he had assumed the imperial purple, for he ruled the hearts of men more gloriously than doth [does] a king.
When Dr. Carey was laboring in India, and his son Felix had accepted the office of ambassador to the king of *Burma, Carey said, “Felix has driveled [salivated with desire] into an ambassador” as *though he looked upon the highest earthly office as an utter degradation if for it [the ambassadorship] the minister of the gospel forsook his lofty vocation.
Paul blesses God that this great grace was given to him,
that he might preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
he looked upon it not as toil, but as a grace.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK July 2nd REFRESHING SLEEP
by C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892 -SO HE GIVETH [Gives] HIS BELOVED SLEEP- Psalm 127:2
Ours is not a life of anxious [fearful] care, but of happy faith. Our heavenly Father will supply the wants [needs] of His own children, and He knoweth [knows] what we have need of before we ask Him.
We may therefore go to our beds at the proper hour, and not wear ourselves out by sitting up late to plot, and plan, and contrive. If we have learned to rely upon our God, we shall not lie awake with fear gnawing at our hearts; but we shall leave our care with the Lord, our meditation of Him shall be sweet, and He will give us refreshing sleep.
To be the Lord’s beloved is the highest possible honor, and he who has it may feel that ambition itself could desire no more, and therefore every selfish wish may go to sleep. What more is there even in Heaven than Rest, then, O soul, for thou hast [have] all things. Yet we toss to and fro unless the Lord Himself gives us not only the reasons for rest, but rest itself.
Yea, He doth [does] this. Jesus Himself is our peace, our rest, our all. On His bosom we sleep in perfect security, both in life and in death.
Sprinkled afresh with pardoning blood,
I lay me down to rest,
As in the embraces [hugs] of my God,
Or on my Savior’s breast .
Prayer: Thank You Father, that You give us peaceful and refreshing sleep. We are comforted and encouraged by this promise of peaceful, rest. and receiving the rest itself that You give in Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
The love of God?
Sing Along, won’t you?

MORNING July 2nd "OUR HEART SHALL REJOICE IN HIM. "
—Psalm 33:21
—En él se alegrará nuestro corazón,— Salmos 33:21
BLESSED is the fact that Christians can rejoice even in the deepest distress; although trouble may surround them, they still sing; and, like many birds, they sing best in their cages.
The waves may roll over them, but their souls soon rise to the surface and see the light of God's countenance [smiling face] ; they have a buoyancy about them that keeps their heads always above the water, and helps them to sing amid [in the midst of] the tempest [storm],
"God is with me still."
To whom shall the glory be given?
To Jesus —it is all by Jesus.
Trouble does not necessarily bring consolation with it to the believer, but the presence of the Son of God in the fiery furnace with him fills his heart with joy.
He [the believer] is sick and suffering, but Jesus visits him and makes his bed for him. He is dying, and the cold chilly waters of Jordan are gathering about him up to the neck, but Jesus puts His arms around him, and cries,
"Fear not, beloved; to die is to be blessed; the waters of death have their fountainhead [origin] in heaven; they are not bitter, they are sweet as nectar, for they flow from the throne of God."
As the departing saint wades through the stream, and the billows gather around him, and heart and flesh fail him, the same voice sounds in his ears,
"Fear not; I am with you; be not dismayed; I am your God."
As he nears the borders of the infinite unknown, and is almost affrighted to enter the realm of shades, Jesus says,
"Fear not, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
Thus strengthened and consoled, the believer is not afraid to die; nay, [not only that, but] he is even willing to depart [leave earth], for since he has seen Jesus as the morning star he longs to gaze on Him as the sun in his strength. Truly, the presence of Jesus is all the heaven we desire. He is at once …
The glory of our brightest days;
The comfort of our nights.

EVENING July 2nd "UNTO THEE WILL I CRY, 0 LORD MY ROCK; BE NOT SILENT TO ME: lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. " —Psalm 28:1
— A Tí clamaré, oh Jehová, Fortaleza mía: no te desentiendas de mí; Porque no sea yo,dejándome tú, Semejante á los que descienden al sepulcro. —Salmos 28:1
Sing: Rock of Ages A Cappela Harmony by Mixing ONE Vocalist
A cry is the natural expression of sorrow, and a suitable utterance when all other modes of appeal fail us; but the cry must be alone directed to the Lord, for to cry to man is to waste our entreaties on the air. When we consider the readiness of the Lord to hear, and His ability to aid, we see good reason for directing all our appeals at once to the God of our salvation. It will be in vain to call to the rocks in the day of judgment, but our Rock [the Lord Jesus] attends to our cries.
"Be not silent to me. "
Mere formalists [posers] may be content without answers to their prayers, but genuine *suppliants [earnest, praying believers] cannot; they are not satisfied with the results of prayer itself in calming the mind and subduing the will—they must go further and obtain actual replies from heaven, or they cannot rest; and when they long to receive replies at once, they dread even a little of God's silence. God's voice is often so terrible that it shakes the wilderness; but His silence is equally full of awe to an eager suppliant [praying one].
When God seems to close His ear we must not therefore close our mouths, but rather cry with more earnestness; for when our note grows shrill with eagerness and grief He will not long deny us a hearing. What a dreadful case should we be in if the Lord should become forever silent to our prayers.
"Lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit."
Deprived of the God who answers prayer, we would be in a more pitiable plight than the dead in the grave and would soon sink to the same level as the lost in hell.
We must have answers to prayer: ours is an urgent case of dire necessity; surely the Lord will speak peace to our agitated minds, for
He never can find it in His heart to permit His own elect to perish.

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 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.”

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.

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.

SACRED LITERATURE: The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan
Note: Spurgeon was taught to read at a very early age and read The Pilgrim’s Progress for the first time when he was six years old. He would return to re-read it over 100 times. He made many references to it in his sermons as Pastor of The Metropolitan Tabernacle in London.
Excerpt from Sermon: II. § 5 THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY,
WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU
"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon] of Mr. Bunyan’s picture in The Pilgrim’s Progress. of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams [ancient weapons of war] had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [melodies], for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart [main castle] he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.
Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus; it is our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.
Spurgeon’s Full Sermon: Christ in You, May 13, 1883 Scripture: Colossians 1:27 From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 29 (cit. II. The Mystery of this is Christ In You, the hope of glory.

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them. - Jesus Christ Matthew 18:19-20

It's the duty and labor of Love of every believer that we Love and worship God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, in Spirit and in Truth.
“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [sharing] the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
The aim of this website is to encourage, challenge and support believers to a greater love and more fervent devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Devotional support to encourage this is offered through prayer, praise, gospel preaching and careful study and surrender to God's Word
To the non-believer, we proclaim Jesus, The Messiah, God Incarnate, Savior of the world, the Lamb of God believing that the Holy Ghost will convict them of their sin, bring them to repentance and impart faith in Jesus for their eternal salvation.
Visit often, won’t you? with family, friends and others to pray, study and meditate on, hear and take to heart gospel preaching, and to sing sacred hymns and praises in worshiping God in spirit and in truth.
________________________________________
Caution: We do not practice the forsaking of the assembling together as is the manner of some. This website does not replace nor can it substitute for the assembling of ourselves together with others to exhort one another in the WORD and to provoke one another unto love and good works . Hebrews 10:23-27
Rather, we desire this website to encourage believers in personal devotional exercises and worship as we are being conformed to Christ’s image.
"For whom God did foreknow he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son." Romans 8:29
An in-person assembly of believers, gathered for praising and worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ is essential and can never be supplanted or replaced. Such group worship may come through the Hearing and heeding of face-to-face Gospel preaching, congregational singing of sacred hymns, the reading of God’s Word, sharing Christian love and fellowship, public prayer, and also a place where assembled believers can consider and exhort one another in the Word, and provoke one another unto love and good works and bear witness with one another in the Holy Spirit.
Virtual digital communication can never replace assembling ourselves together. It requires no personal interaction, investment, commitment, or personal vulnerability, and cannot deliver a comforting human touch. e.g. Laying on of hands etc.

Personal devotionals encourage us to obey scripture:
“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth [needs] not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:1

I found this Elvis song after Jon was called home on January 16th of 2021. It’s Comforting, but can’t compare with being in the presence of the LORD. I Can Only Imagine Jon singing praises with Elvis. Or maybe, singing a song given to Jon, while he was down here, known only to the Lord and the few loved ones who heard it:
"See my Jesus, Walkin' on duh Waduh" an original, Jon Edward Riley
* Click and sing along I Can Only Imagine with Wynonna Judd won’t you?.

It has become my heart-felt message in song to all of my fifteen children and one of my favorites too.
…instead of saying “good bye, ”Jon would always say “Later”; [as in see-ya later]. It was his own farewell greeting when parting company with a friend; and, of course, everyone was Jon’s friend.
… He never said “good-bye”, only "Later".
Now, as I remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings true in its new and deeper meaning and it brings a joy and comfort to the hearts of those whom he loved so well; those who love him still and will always, and forever more.
… I also love the promise of this Hymn:

Sproul will clarify exactly what the Gospel is and what it is not.

The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan
(The world’s most highly acclaimed and widely read Allegory)

They will bless, strengthen, encourage, challenge and instruct seekers and believers, of all ages.
THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS by John Bunyan
ORIGINAL: The Pilgrim’s Progress Part I Published by Logos in 1853 from Bunyan's 1678 text.
REVISED VERSION PRINT: by Barry E. Horner: The Pilgrim’s Progrefs [sic] ©1999
The Pilgrim Progress is the world’s most widely published and most famous Allegory . It was commonly found among he scant possessions in the cabins of the early American Pioneers. It was loved and read, second only to the Holy Bible, God’s Word, of guidance, encouragement and comfort. It’s also considered, by some, to be the world’s first English novel and is the most published book of all time. other than the Bible. There were 1,300 editions printed before 1938, 250 years after the author's death. It remains one of the world’s most highly acclaimed books of all time. As to the allegorical genre, it is unequalled.
Pilgrim’s Progress is referenced in many Spurgeon Sermons.
Here's one example:
“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”—Colossians 1:27
Note: Spurgeon was taught to read at a very early age and read The Pilgrim’s Progress for the first time when he was six years old. He would return to re-read it over 100 times. He made many reference to it in his sermons as Pastor of The Metropolitan Tabernacle in London.
Excerpt from Sermon: II. § 5 THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY,
WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU
"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon] of Mr. Bunyan’s picture in The Pilgrim’s Progress. of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams [ancient weapons of war] had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [melodies], for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart [main castle] he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.
Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus; it is our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.
Spurgeon’s Full Sermon: Christ in You, May 13, 1883 Scripture: Colossians 1:27 From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 29 (cit. II. The Mystery of this is Christ In You, § 5)

Index of the 533 Scripture References cited in The Pilgrim’s Progress
by John Bunyan 1687
John Bunyan did not write or set forth any world view of any kind. His masterful allegory, demonstrably displays that God's Word does not support a world view at all but sets forth God’s view on every thing revealed and forever settled in heaven, The Holy Bible.
________________________________________
Bunyan merely, yet ardently, trusted in God’s Word; the God-breathed [divinely inspired], Self-authenticating, Providentially-protected immutable, inerrant, infallible, and inextinguishable written Word from GOD Himself. God, the omnipotent, omnipresent, righteous and Holy One, has breathed out His Word and has made His Word flesh in the birth of Jesus Christ. God’s Word is now, has always been and will forever be in perfect accord with Himself and the Spirit of Truth.
God’s infinite Love and Grace to redeem all fallen, hell-bound sinners who will look to Him is revealed by the sacrifice of His only begotten [fathered by God] Son, Jesus Christ.
The story inspiration given to Bunyan was in the form of a dream. Never the less, it imparts wisdom and may encourage soul-searching self-reflection to all pilgrims who seek redemption and eternal life. Many scripture references will be captured and remembered from its reading [listening].

PRAYER 24, Part 7 of 11
DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
Lord help Thy people to be right as parents. May none of us spoil our children; may there be no misconducted families to cry out against us. Help us to be right as masters [teachers]; may there be no oppression, no hardness and unkindness. Help us to be right as servants; may there be no eye service, [faking] no purloining, [stealing] but may there be everything that adorns [honors and glorifies] the Christian character. Keep us right as citizens; may we do all we can for our country, and for the times in which we live. Keep us right, we pray Thee, as citizens of the higher country [The Kingdom of God]; may we be living for it, to enjoy its privileges, and to bring others within its burgess-ship [privileged jurisdiction] , that multitudes may be made citizens of Christ through our means.
[I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]
(Attachment: PRAYER 24.doc)

ANECDOTE 330: Magnifying the Ministry.
We find the most eminent of God’s servants frequently magnifying their office as preachers of the gospel. Whitfield was wont [accustomed] to call his pulpit his throne; and when he stood upon some rising knoll to preach to the thousands gathered in the open air, he was more happy than if he had assumed the imperial purple, for he ruled the hearts of men more gloriously than doth a king.
When Dr. Carey was laboring in India, and his son Felix had accepted the office of ambassador to the king of *Burma, Carey said, “Felix has drivelled [salivated with desire] into an ambassador” as *though he looked upon the highest earthly office as an utter degradation if for it [the ambassadorship] the minister of the gospel forsook his lofty vocation.
Paul blesses God that this great grace was given to him,
that he might preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
he looked upon it not as toil, but as a grace.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK JULY 2 REFRESHING SLEEP C.H. Spurgeon 1834 - 1892
-So he giveth [gives] his beloved sleep- Psalm 127:2
Ours is not a life of anxious [stressed out] care, but of happy faith. Our heavenly Father will supply the wants [needs] of His own children, and He knoweth [knows] what we have need of before we ask Him.
We may therefore go to our beds at the proper hour, and not wear ourselves out by sitting up late to plot, and plan, and contrive. If we have learned to rely upon our God, we shall not lie awake with fear gnawing at our hearts; but we shall leave our care with the Lord, our meditation of Him shall be sweet, and He will give us refreshing sleep.
To be the Lord’s beloved is the highest possible honor, and he who has it may feel that ambition itself could desire no more, and therefore every selfish wish may go to sleep. What more is there even in Heaven than
Rest, then, O soul, for thou hast [have] all things. Yet we toss to and fro unless the Lord Himself gives us not only the reasons for rest, but rest itself. Yea, He doth [does] this.
Jesus Himself is our peace, our rest, our all. On His bosom we sleep in perfect security, both in life and in death.
Sprinkled afresh with pardoning blood,
I lay me down to rest,
As in the embraces [hugs] of my God,
Or on my Saviour’s breast .
Prayer: Thank You Father, that You give us peaceful and refreshing sleep. We are comforted and encouraged by this promise of peaceful, rest. and receiving the rest itself that You give in Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

MORNING July 2
"Our heart shall rejoice in Him. " —Psalm 33:21
—En él se alegrará nuestro corazón,— Salmos 33:21
BLESSED is the fact that Christians can rejoice even in the deepest distress; although trouble may surround them, they still sing; and, like many birds, they sing best in their cages.
The waves may roll over them, but their souls soon rise to the surface and see the light of God's countenance [smiling face] ; they have a buoyancy about them that keeps their heads always above the water, and helps them to sing amid [in the midst of] the tempest [storm],
"God is with me still."
To whom shall the glory be given?
To Jesus —it is all by Jesus.
Trouble does not necessarily bring consolation with it to the believer, but the presence of the Son of God in the fiery furnace with him fills his heart with joy.
He [the believer] is sick and suffering, but Jesus visits him and makes his bed for him. He is dying, and the cold chilly waters of Jordan are gathering about him up to the neck, but Jesus puts His arms around him, and cries,
"Fear not, beloved; to die is to be blessed; the waters of death have their fountainhead [origin] in heaven; they are not bitter, they are sweet as nectar, for they flow from the throne of God."
As the departing saint wades through the stream, and the billows gather around him, and heart and flesh fail him, the same voice sounds in his ears,
"Fear not; I am with you; be not dismayed; I am your God."
As he nears the borders of the infinite unknown, and is almost affrighted to enter the realm of shades, Jesus says,
"Fear not, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
Thus strengthened and consoled, the believer is not afraid to die; nay, [not only that, but] he is even willing to depart [leave earth], for since he has seen Jesus as the morning star he longs to gaze on Him as the sun in his strength. Truly, the presence of Jesus is all the heaven we desire. He is at once …
The glory of our brightest days;
The comfort of our nights.

"Unto Thee will I cry, 0 Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. " —Psalm 28:1
— A Tí clamaré, oh Jehová, Fortaleza mía: no te desentiendas de mí; Porque no sea yo,dejándome tú, Semejante á los que descienden al sepulcro. —Salmos 28:1
Sing: Rock of Ages A Cappela Harmony by Mixing ONE Vocalist
A cry is the natural expression of sorrow, and a suitable utterance when all other modes of appeal fail us; but the cry must be alone directed to the Lord, for to cry to man is to waste our entreaties on the air. When we consider the readiness of the Lord to hear, and His ability to aid, we see good reason for directing all our appeals at once to the God of our salvation. It will be in vain to call to the rocks in the day of judgment, but our Rock [the Lord Jesus] attends to our cries.
"Be not silent to me. "
Mere formalists [posers] may be content without answers to their prayers, but genuine *suppliants [earnest, praying believers] cannot; they are not satisfied with the results of prayer itself in calming the mind and subduing the will—they must go further and obtain actual replies from heaven, or they cannot rest; and when they long to receive replies at once, they dread even a little of God's silence. God's voice is often so terrible that it shakes the wilderness; but His silence is equally full of awe to an eager suppliant [praying one].
When God seems to close His ear we must not therefore close our mouths, but rather cry with more earnestness; for when our note grows shrill with eagerness and grief He will not long deny us a hearing. What a dreadful case should we be in if the Lord should become forever silent to our prayers.
"Lest, if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit."
Deprived of the God who answers prayer, we would be in a more pitiable plight than the dead in the grave and would soon sink to the same level as the lost in hell.
We must have answers to prayer: ours is an urgent case of dire necessity; surely the Lord will speak peace to our agitated minds, for
He never can find it in His heart to permit His own elect to perish.

vis. Textus Receptus [The Received Greek Text] (From the overwhelming majority of extant New Testament Greek manuscripts)
The Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not majority texts, [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus]. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus present variant, ambiguous and erroneous readings rather than that of the well-established and settled texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.
Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus.
Psalm 119:89-90
89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. [abides]
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. He is not the author of confusion.

MISSION STATEMENT:
… Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13
Our solemn aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus in everything. We must rely upon God entirely to achieve His purposes in us and through us.
Loving and worshiping God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength in Spirit and in truth is a labor of love and duty of every believer. Desire will grow stronger as we give ourselves to prayer, reading and meditating on God’s Word, gathering ourselves together to hear Gospel preaching, the singing of Psalms, sacred hymns and spiritual songs.
We purpose, with God’s help, to reach the lost, comfort, strengthen and encourage believers, and rightly divide God’s Word to proclaim the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ to every creature.
The Holy Bible is God’s eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable revealed and divinely preserved Word. It is His completed scripture of all revealed truth. He brings guidance and the knowledge of His will to us personally and to each local body of Christian believers through His Word. With God’s help and empowerment, we will read, study, meditate-on, trust-in and obey God’s Holy Bible and encourage others to do the same. We hold it to be the supreme authority and the preeminent and divinely established precedent [Stare Decisis Latin: to stand by that which is decided, the legal doctrine of precedence, literally "to stand by decided matters"] in all things.
Therefore, the purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to publish the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature. And, to serve all, in love, especially those in the household of faith. We are compelled by this purpose to follow, and rightly apply and proclaim, God’s Holy Word, the Bible, as God’s divinely preserved truth; being the essential authority and goal of this ministry.
The Metropolitan Tabernacle: Home church of Charles H. Spurgeon
The preaching, teaching, soul winning and writings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon are firmly fixed on the bedrock of Holy Scripture. His entire ministry was established, empowered and inspired solely by God’s Holy Word imparted to him by the Holy Spirit. His written works continue to bless, guide, challenge and benefit today’s readers through the publication of his authentic Gospel sermons and other inspired writing His ministry continues to thrive and flourish today through the Metropolitan Tabernacle a church begun in 1650 The present building was constructed in 1861 and was rebuilt after the destruction caused during the second world war. This church has been steadfast in it’s adherence to Reformed Baptist theology that Spurgeon said was just a nickname for Biblical Christianity. They have resisted and continue to reject worldly winds of false doctrine, including pragmatism and self-centered “Christian hedonism”. Biblical Christianity will always show itself as a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, never just a philosophy or religion.
Mission Aim: Spurgeon's sermons and devotional messages have edified the church body and have been a great benefit, to all readers for many years. We pray they will be useful to strengthen personal discipleship in each and every believer and will be a useful instrument in the spreading of the Gospel [Good news] of Jesus Christ, the Messiah to all nations.

The Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired, (God breathed) inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, divinely protected and preserved Word of love and salvation to the entire world. It is also the essential foundation of this ministry.

Prayer: Dear Lord, empower your ministry to win many souls, and serve those in need, especially those in the household of faith, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company does not solicit praise of Charles H. Spurgeon or his writing or preaching. He didn’t need or want it then and wouldn’t desire it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach Christ Jesus only and him crucified.
Precaution: These Messages and prayers will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus or for gathering in in-person worship. Neither will they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word imparted by the Holy Spirit.
The Authorized King James Version (AKJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the authentic English Bible because it is rendered [translated into English] accurately and faithfully from the established majority of the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] manuscripts of the New Testament and the Hebrew Masoretic Text of the Old Testament (The Jewish Tanakh) These manuscripts are providentially protected of God, and always give a greater glory to God when compared to variant readings. The established majority manuscripts avoid doctrinal error, inaccuracies in translation, uninspired editorial notations, variant or ambiguous readings taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus.
The Authorized King James version is distinguished also by the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. No other [person or publisher] may print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.
Printed Prayer: Printed prayers must not be read or offered as a substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. They are offered, rather, to warm the hearts of those who will presently seek a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart fellowship and prayer with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Authentic revelations from God during prayer are always consistent with His revealed Word, the Bible.
Preaching Preparation: When preparing to preach, please send us the text reference that has been chosen if you would like us to send the Spurgeon Sermon addressing the same text.
My Prayer is that You would touch, lift up, encourage and teach all who faithfully minister your Word. Bless all who minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Your blessing and holy anointing fall fresh upon each dear reader and abide with each one who rightly divides and faithfully proclaims Your Word [The Bible]. Please save many souls; and may all be glory be yours alone. I pray this in the name of our Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … pray like this, won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am lost. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. My nature and behavior has been sinful from birth. Please forgive me.
I realize that doing my best, being as good as possible, or being better than other people can never save me. . I’m sorry for each and every sin I have ever done and look to You to forgive them all.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross for me, as God’s sacrifice for my sin.
Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You to be my Savior and Lord.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I want to follow You from now on.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.
Thank you, Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me still
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus.
Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is alive and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave.
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for Your comfort and guidance in all things.
With all my heart, thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, I pray, Amen.
