PRAYER 22, June 18th   Part 11 of 11   THE PRESENCE OF GOD   by Charles Spurgeon
 

        God bless our country! God save our Sovereign [King]! Grant guidance at this time to all with regard to the political affairs of this nation. Grant Thy blessing to all ranks and conditions of men, and let every nation call Thee “blessed” Let all tongues speak the name of  Jesus and all men own Him as Lord and King. We ask it in His name. Amen. [I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.] (Attachment: PRAYER 22.doc)

ANECDOTE 322: June 18th    A PRAYER-LESS MAN.

 

You may be a very rich man, and have large estates, but I would sooner occupy the place of the poorest believing pauper in the workhouse [poorhouse] than take your position without God and without a throne of grace.

How do people live that have no God to go to?

If a man were to say to me, “I never get a morsel of bread to eat at all,” I should wonder how he lived. But when a man says, “I never pray, and God never hears me,” I am in equal wonder.

 

ANECDOTE 316:   (REPEATED)   PRAYER ABOUT COMMON MERCIES.

 

SFX: A Raven’s Cry (click to hear a Raven’s calls)

Though your prayer should only be about worldly things, and be nothing more than a merely natural prayer, yet pray it ; for “He heareth [hears] the young ravens when they cry,”  and I am sure they do not pray spiritual prayers.  All that ravens can ask for will be worms and flies, and yet he hears them, and feeds them; and you, a man, though you may but pray at this time for a very commonplace mercy, one of the slighter [lesser] blessings, yet you may pray with confidence if you have any faith in the gracious Lord.
 

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK  June 18th   GOD HIMSELF SHALL WORK

by C.H. Spurgeon 1834 - 1892

-Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself-  Isaiah 33:10

-Ahora me levantare, dice Jehova; ahora sere ensalzado, ahora sere engrandecido-  Isaias 33:10 

When the spoilers [enemies] had made the land as waste [destroyed it] as if devoured by locusts

[flying insects], and the warriors who had defended the country sat down and wept like women, then the Lord came to the rescue. When travelers ceased from the roads to Zion, and Bashan and Carmel were as vineyards from which the fruit has failed [crop failure], then the Lord arose. God is exalted in the midst of an afflicted people, for they seek His face and trust Him. He is still more exalted when, in answer to their cries,

 

He lifts up Himself to deliver them and overthrow their enemies. 

 

Is it a day of sorrow with us?  Let us expect to see the Lord glorified in our deliverance. Are we drawn out in fervent [whole hearted] prayer? Do we cry day and night unto Him?

 

Then the set time for His grace is near. God will lift up Himself at the right season.  He will arise when it will be most [the best time] for the display of His glory.  We wish for His glory more than we long for our own deliverance. Let the Lord be exalted, and our chief desire is obtained.

 

Lord, help us in such a way that we may see that thou thyself art [You, Yourself are] working. May we magnify thee [You] in our inmost souls. Make all around us to see how good and great a God thou art [You are].

 

Prayer: Thank You Lord Jesus, that You are glorified in our deliverance. Help us to be drawn by You into whole hearted prayer.  In our pain help us to cry day and night unto You. Because you hear the young Raven’s cry, I know You will also hear my prayer.   By this I know that the time for Your grace is near. You will lift up Yourself on our behalf at the exact, right time.  You will arise when it will be the best time for the display of Your glory. I trust You, Lord and upon Your Word. Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You remember me,  Amen.

MORNING:   June 18th "THY REDEEMER." —Isaiah 54:5

  

 –Tu redentor–—Isaías 54:5 

     JESUS, the Redeemer, is  altogether ours and ours forever. All the offices [titles] of [Jesus] Christ are held on our behalf. 

He is king for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read a new title of the Redeemer,  let us appropriate Him as ours under that name as much as under any other. The shepherd's staff, the father's rod, the captain's sword, the priest's miter, the prince's scepter, the prophet's mantle: all are ours. Jesus has no dignity which he will not employ for our exaltation [good and benefit], and no prerogative which he will not exercise for our *defense. His fullness of Godhead is our unfailing, inexhaustible treasure house.

 

His manhood, which he took on him for us, is also ours in all its perfection. To us our gracious Lord communicates the spotless virtue of a stainless character; to us he gives the meritorious efficacy of a devoted life; on us he bestows the reward procured by obedient submission and incessant [continual] service. 

He makes the unsullied [unspotted] garment of his life our covering beauty; the glittering  virtues of his character our ornaments and jewels; and the super-human meekness of his death our boast and glory. He bequeaths [gives] us his manger, from which to learn how God came down to man; and his Cross to teach us how man may go up to God. All his thoughts, emotions, actions, utterances, miracles, and intercessions, were for  us. He trod the road of sorrow on our behalf, and hath made over [handed over] to us as his heavenly legacy the full results of all the labors of his life. He is now as much ours as before; and he blushes not to acknowledge himself  "our Lord Jesus Christ,"  though he is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Christ everywhere and every way is our Christ, forever and most richly to enjoy.
O my soul, by the power of the Holy Spirit call him this morning  "thy Redeemer."

 EVENING   June 18th   "I AM COME INTO MY GARDEN, MY SISTER, MY SPOUSE." —Song of Solomon 5:1
 

—YO  vine á mi huerto, oh hermana, esposa mía—Cantares 5:1 

 

       THE heart of the believer is Christ's garden. He bought it with His precious blood, and He enters it and claims it as His own. A garden implies separation.  It is not the open common [public park]; it is not a wilderness; it is walled around, or hedged in.

 

Would that we could see the wall of separation between the church and the world made broader and stronger. 

 

It makes one sad to hear Christians saying,  "Well, there is no harm in this; there is no harm in that," thus getting as near to the world as possible.

 

Grace is at a low ebb [a very poor condition] in the soul [person] that can even raise the question of how far it may go in worldly conformity. A garden is a place of beauty, it far surpasses the wild uncultivated lands.

 

The genuine Christian must seek to be more excellent in his life than the best moralist,

because Christ's garden ought to produce the best flowers in all the world. 

 

Even the best is poor compared with what Christ's deserves: let us not put Him off  [attempt to appease Him] with withering and dwarf plants. The rarest, richest, choicest lilies and roses ought to bloom in the place that Jesus calls His own. The garden is a place of growth. 

The saints are not to remain undeveloped, always mere buds and blossoms. We should grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Growth should be rapid where Jesus is the Husbandman [Gardener], and the Holy Spirit [is] the dew from above. A garden is a place of retirement. 

So the Lord Jesus Christ would have us reserve our souls as a place in which He can manifest [reveal] Himself, as He does not unto the world. 0 that Christians were more retiring [withdrawn], that they kept their hearts more closely shut up [guarded] for Christ! We often worry and trouble ourselves, like Martha, with much serving so that we have not the room for Christ that Mary had, and do not sit at His feet as we should. 
 

The Lord grant the sweet showers of His grace to water His garden this day [today].

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy

 

URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIC5rUbs_-E&t=9s
(2 hrs. 49 mins.)

 

This video presents historical evidence explaining the explosion of over 100 published [Google has it at 900]  English versions  of the Bible. This continuing attempt to replace, add to or take away from or change to a variant reading of  the 1769 Edition of The King James Version of the Holy Bible do not  prevail because GOD Himself continues to  preserve and protect His Holy Scripture from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion and error. In a word GOD”S WORD is IMMUTABLE. Unchanged and unable to be changed, from eternity past throughout all eternity. Jesus Christ is, and has been from the beginning GOD’S Word and GOD. He came to earth as the WORD of GOD INCARNATE [In the Flesh 2026 years ago] Click and Read 1 John 5:7

Note: The New King James Version does NOT follow the  Greek Traditional Text, known as the  Textus Receptus, [Received Text] but uses instead The Critical Text fabricated by Westcott and Hort and embraced by Nestle & Aland and  is therefore inferior to the trustworthy 1769 [1611] King James Version, the  KJV! The only version authorized and empowered for translation from the Bishop’s Bible by King James The 1st of Great Britian.

 

 

 

BC/AD versus BCE/CE   Is there a difference? (Click to see)
 

This is a heretical attempt to ignore the birth and life of Jesus Christ and thereby to write Him out of  history. The  use of a so-called neutral term “BCE” [Before Common Era] to replace the traditional and historically accurate term  “BC” [Before Christ] that places all history in its relationship to the birth of Jesus Christ 2026 years ago. It replaces clearly understood words with nebulous and duplicitous terminology and make no mention of Jesus Christ.

* “A.D.”  Does not mean “after death”  but is the Latin  abbreviation Anno Domini [the year of our Lord].

The Lord Jesus Christ has existed from eternity past as the WORD of God. He was born of a virgin 2026  years ago in Bethlehem of Judea, is alive today,  and soon is coming to receive his betrothed [legally binding and promised] bride to consummate the marriage and celebrate the Wedding Feast with the Body of Christ.

Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] was born of a virgin 2026 years ago,    was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD, as His Church, The Body of Christ, and will live forever, time without end and   He, Himself, is coming again.

1 John 4:1-3

 

Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth  [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] that confesseth not  [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

 Therefore:     I confess [declare and avow] that “Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.”

 

 

 

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, The 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 by 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  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 [And Already Legally Bound Wife] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate their Marriage in the Wedding and Marriage Feast according to the preserved 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 both older and better than the variant readings which stem from the highly theoretical Greek Text work of Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland.

 

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 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 or 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.

An in-person assembly of believers, gathered to praise and worship the Lord Jesus Christ should  never be supplanted or replaced.  Such gathering to worship may come through the Hearing and heeding of Gospel preaching, congregational singing of sacred hymns, the reading of God’s Word, sharing Christian fellowship, public prayer, and also be where assembled believers can consider and exhort one another in the Word, and provoke one another to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

 

Virtual digital communication can never replace the assembling of ourselves together because it doesn’t  allow for  personal or emotional interaction, an investment in the spiritual welfare and growth of others, nor a commitment of personal or vulnerability, and cannot replace the comfort of a  human touch. e.g. Laying on of hands, the right hand of fellowship, a holy kiss etc.

Personal devotionals encourage obedience to 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

Prayer:  Thank you, Lord, for the dailyspurgeon.com Website, and for the expansion of an      e-mail ministry begun by Jon Edward Riley 1971-2021, a beloved son and brother in Christ Jesus now in the arms of Jesus.

We honor Jon’s memory, giving honor to those whom honor is due; to those The Lord Jesus honors who honor Him.   Romans 13:7

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

… a saint’s testimony from one who was, by grace through faith, forever accepted in the Beloved Son of God, and is now in His presence and will be forevermore.

Amen.
