DEVOTION for March 6th by Charles Haddon. Spurgeon Also at: dailyspurgeon.com PRAYER 11, Part 7 of 10: UNDER THE BLOOD ANECDOTE 218 Conscience Needs Illumination. FAITH'S CHECKBOOK: March 6 GUARDIAN OF THE FATHERLESS; —Hosea 14:3 MORNING Ye [you] must [have to] be born again; —John 3:7 EVENING: Before destruction the heart of man is haughty. —Proverbs 18:12 A SINNER'S PRAYER: ________________________________________ PRAYER 11, Part 7 of 10 UNDER THE BLOOD [Dear Heavenly Father] Remember every one that calls Thee Father. May a Father’s love look on all the children. May the special need of each one be supplied; the special sorrow of each one be assuaged [eased]. May we be growing Christians, may we be working Christians, may we be perfected Christians, may we come to the fullness of the stature of men in Christ Jesus. Lord Jesus, Thou art a great pillar; in Thee doth all fullness dwell. ‘Thou didst [did] begin Thy life with filling the water-pots to the full; Thou didst [did] fill Simon Peter’s boat [with fish] until it began to sink; Thou didst [did] fill the house where Thy people were met together with the presence of the Holy Ghost; Thou dost [do] fill heaven; Thou wilt [will] surely fill all things; fill us, oh! fill us to-day with all the fullness of God, and make Thy people thus [therefore] joyful and strong, and gracious and heavenly! [In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ] Amen. (Attachement: PRAYER 11.doc) ________________________________________ ANECDOTE 218 Conscience Needs Illumination. I do not hesitate to say, that we all unwittingly [without knowing it] allow ourselves [to be] in practices, which clearer light would show to be sins. Even the best of men, have done this in the past. For instance, John Newton, in his trading for slaves in his early days, never seemed to have felt that there was any wrong in it; and Whitefield in accepting slaves for his orphanage in Georgia, never raised or dreamed of raising the question as to whether slavery was in itself sinful. Perhaps advancing light will show that many of the habits and customs of our present civilization are essentially bad, and our grandsons will wonder how we could have acted as we did. It may need centuries before the national conscience, or even the common Christian conscience, will be enlightened up to the true standard of right; and the individual man may need many a chastisement and rebuke from the Lord ere [before] he has fully discerned holiness between good and evil. ________________________________________ FAITH’S CHECKBOOK MARCH 6 GUARDIAN OF THE FATHERLESS C.H. Spurgeon -In thee the fatherless findeth [finds] mercy —Hosea 14:3 En ti el huerfano alcanzará misericordia —Oseas 14:3 This is an excellent reason for casting away all other confidences and relying upon the Lord alone. When a child is left without its natural protector, our God steps in and becomes his guardian: so, also when a man has lost every object of dependence, [everything he depends upon] he may cast himself upon the living God and find in Him all that he needs. Orphans are cast [thrown] upon the fatherhood of God, and He provides for them. The writer of these pages knows what it is to hang on the bare arm of God, and he [the writer] bears his willing witness that no trust is so well warranted by facts, or so sure to be rewarded by results, as trust in the invisible but ever living God. Some children who have fathers are not much the better off because of them, but the fatherless with God are rich. Better have God and no other friend than all the patrons on the earth and no God. To be bereaved of the creature [earthly father] is painful, but so long as the Lord remains the fountain of mercy to us, we are not truly orphaned. Prayer: [Dear Father] Let fatherless children plead the gracious word and let all who have been bereaved [suffered loss] of visible support do the same. Lord, let me find mercy in thee! The more needy and helpless I am, the more confidently do I appeal to thy loving heart. Thank you, Lord, that -In thee, the fatherless [orphan] findeth [finds] mercy —Thank You that in You there is always mercy to be found in Jesus’ name, Amen. ________________________________________ MORNING March 6 “Ye must be born again."—John 3:7 No te maravilles de que te dije: Os es necesario nacer otra vez. —Juan 3:7 REGENERATION is a subject that lies at the very basis of salvation, and we should be very diligent to take heed that we really are "born again," for there are many who fancy [imagine] they are, who are not. Be assured that the name of a Christian is not the nature of a Christian; and that being born in a Christian land and being recognized as professing the Christian religion is to no avail whatever, unless there be something more added to it —the being "born again" by the power of the Holy Spirit. To be "born again," is a matter so mysterious that human words cannot describe it. "The wind bloweth [blows] where it listeth [wants to], and thou hearest [hear] the sound thereof, but canst [can] not tell whence [from where] it cometh [comes] and whither [where] it goeth [goes]: so is every one that is born of the [Holy] Spirit." Nevertheless, it is a change which is known and felt: known by works of holiness, and felt by a gracious experience. This great work is supernatural. It is not an operation which a man performs for himself: [No!] …a new principle is infused, which works in the heart, renews the soul, and affects the entire man [person] . It is not a change of my name, but a renewal of my nature, so that I am not the one I used to be, but a new person in Christ Jesus. To wash and dress a corpse [dead body] is a far different thing from making it alive: man can do the one, God alone can do the other. If you have then, been "born again," your acknowledgment will be, “O Lord Jesus, the everlasting Father, You are my spiritual Parent; unless Your Spirit had breathed into me the breath of a new, holy, and spiritual life, I had been [I would be] to this day 'dead in trespasses and sins.' My heavenly life is wholly derived [comes completely] from You, [and] to You I ascribe [attribute and dedicate] it. 'My life is hid with Christ in God.' It is no longer I who live, …but [Jesus] Christ who lives in me." May the Lord enable us to be well assured on this vital point, for to be unregenerate is to be unsaved, unpardoned, without God, and without hope. ________________________________________ EVENING March 6 "Before destruction, the heart of man is *haughty." —Proverbs 18:12 Antes del quebrantamiento, se eleva el corazón del hombre —Proverbios 18:12 IT is an old and common saying, that "coming events cast their shadows before them." The wise man teaches us that a *haughty heart is the prophetic prelude of evil. Pride [in a person] is as safely the sign of destruction as the change of mercury in the weatherglass [barometer] is the sign of rain; and far more infallibly so than that. When men have ridden the high horse, destruction has always overtaken them. Let [King] David's aching heart show that there is an eclipse of a man's glory when he doats [brags] upon his own greatness. (2 Samuel 24:10). See Nebuchadnezzar, the mighty builder of Babylon, creeping on the earth [crawling on the ground], devouring [eating] grass like oxen, until his [finger] nails had grown like bird's claws, and his hair like eagle's feathers (Dan. 4:33). Pride made the boaster [the bragging one] a beast, as once before it made an angel [into] a devil. God hates high looks, [a conceited nose in the air] and never fails to bring them down. All the arrows of God are aimed at proud hearts. 0 Christian, is your heart *haughty this evening? For pride can get into the Christian's heart as well as into the sinner's; it can delude him into dreaming that he is "rich and increased in goods, and has need of nothing." Are you glorying in your graces or your talents? Are you proud of yourself, that you have had holy frames [moments] and sweet experiences? Mark you, [take note] reader, there is a destruction coming to you also. Your [bragging about and] flaunting poppies [flowers] of self-conceit will be pulled up by the roots, your mushroom graces will wither in the burning heat, and your self-sufficiency will become as straw for the dunghill [absorbing the filth where excrement is dumped]. If we forget to live at the foot of the cross in deepest lowliness of spirit, God will not forget to make us smart [punish us] under His rod [instrument of discipline]. A destruction will come to you, 0 unduly exalted believer, the destruction of your joys and of your comforts, though there can be no destruction of your soul. Wherefore, "He that glorieth, [glories] let him glory in the Lord." ____________________________________ A SINNER’S PRAYER: … FOR WHOSOEVER: [One and all] 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 hopeless. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross for my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned to Hell. I have been self-centered 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 guilty and sorry for each and every sin I have done and look to You to forgive me of 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, because of my sin and You say, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You, to be my Lord and Savior from now on. Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I ask You to abide in me and give me the desire to always follow You. You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross. Even the sins of the whole world. Thank you, Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me even before I was born and that You still love me now. I love You too. Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You have called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ. 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. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [Holy Ghost, Comforter, Spirit of Truth] Thank You for saving me heavenly Father. With all my heart, thank you Father for saving me in Jesus’ name, Amen. Allow us to share the joy of your new birth with heaven. Won’t you? Heaven rejoices over each redeemed sinner. Luke 15:7 The John Mark Publishing Company, P.O.

I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and for His sake, Amen. Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company does not praise or exalt Charles H. Spurgeon beyond the honor due him. He didn’t need or want it when he was on earth and would have no need or desire for it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach HIM and Him crucified. Precaution: These Messages and prayers alone will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Neither do they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word.

Prayer Selection by Spurgeon must not be offered as a substitute for personal, intimate fervent, heart-felt, prayer. It is intended rather, to warm the hearts of those who are in prayer seeking a season of authentic two-way, heart-to-heart fellowship and prayer with the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit.

John 1:1 _____________________________________________ VIDEO Explaining the explosion [over 100] of English Translations of the Holy BIBLE (Video) Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort (Text only) URL: https://www.febc.edu.sg/v15/article/def_the_inside_story_of_westcott_and_hort In 1870, The Anglican Church of England passed a resolution to revise the English Bible. The New Testament revision committee which finally consisted of 25 scholars (though only about 16 eventually attended the meetings) which included Westcott and Hort. The committee worked for ten years in the Jerusalem chamber, and these two scholars swept the Revision Committee along with them after work commenced. In fact, the “Cambridge trio” (Westcott, Hort and Lightfoot) colluded with others to dominate the meetings with their views of the text and to defeat any who opposed them. Their *letters reveal this conspiracy: * Letters from close relatives are quoted in the Inside Story above The only voice defending the Textus Receptus was Dr Scrivener, probably the foremost scholar of the day in the manuscripts of the Greek New Testament and the history of the Text. But he was systematically outvoted by the Cambridge trio and outdone by Hort’s powerful debating skill. When the revision was completed, the revision committee had altered the Greek Text in 5,337 places, thus violating the original rule that had been set for the committee of not altering the Greek Text unless absolutely necessary to do so. Link above, for The complete Inside Story of Westcott and Hort. ____________________________________ CONCLUSION In conclusion, let it be said that no matter how good any modern version of the New Testament is in other ways, it is clearly blemished if the work of Westcott and Hort is present in it. The presence of their work means that it is based on a defective text. Those who want to honor the Word of God must not promote the use of any of these versions by the church, not because the content of the version is evil in itself, but because the attitude of being contented to use a blemished version rather than an existing unblemished one, dishonors God. If God has taken the trouble to preserve for His people a good Greek text of the New Testament for 18 centuries, how dishonoring it would be to Him if His people now chose instead to change over to a version that is based on a defective text. Let the biblical story of Nadab and Abihu be a lesson to all: And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled” (Lev 10:1–6). – Published in The Burning Bush, Volume 4 Number 1, January 1998 __________________________________________ The John Mark Publishing Company P.O.

________________________________________________

 

All Bible versions NOT  translated from the Textus Receptus [The (traditional) Received Greek Text] include variant  readings that diminish the full  glory and the most Holy reverence due to Almighty GOD, that He preserves and protects it immutably  in the 1769 Edition of the 1611 King James Version  KJV Bible. This version is also known as the Authorized King James  Version  AKJV and the  Authorized Version AV. ALL GLORY is due to and must be given to the Omnipotent Lord of ALL.

 

The Geneva Bible was also faithfully translated from the Greek Textus Receptus and included  comments favorable to the Protestant Reformation  from inspired, devoted,  faithful Christian men of GOD; They were Puritan Believers known to be  beyond reproach.

This Bible was first brought to Plymouth Massachusetts  in the American Colonies by the Puritan Pilgrims guided by Captain Christopher Jones’s on the Mayflower sailing ship in 1620. A 1592 Edition of the Geneva Bible that belonging to a Mayflower passenger and the Governor of the Plymouth Colony (Later to become the State of   Massachusetts) by William Bradford and is on display at the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the oldest continuously operating public museum in the United States.

 

The traditional Textus Receptus [Received Greek Text] unlike any other Greek Text was taken  from more than 5,321 original Majority Greek Manuscripts MT that agree 98% with one another. Other variant readings are translations invented by  either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland. These fabricated Greek Texts were translated from only a handful [45] of Majority Text Manuscripts MT and  lack the  trustworthiness of  the inspired 1769 [1611] King James Version, KJV or the Geneva Bible and are the only two translations of the traditional, reliable, inspired, [GOD BREATHED] immutable and providentially and divinely protected Textus Receptus.

The Bridge to Babylon video presents evidence that tracks the explosion of more than 100 new versions of English translations  of the Bible. The continuing attempts to replace, add or take away from the 1769 King James Version of the Holy Bible does not  prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects The  inspired, inerrant, immutable and infallible  Holy Word of GOD from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion , errors, additions, subtractions or changes.

Can   DAILYSPURGEON  be trusted? Is it trustworthy?

Is it of God?

YES!   Here’s why.

 

1 John 4:1-3

Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everyone or !everything] you hear but be testing the spirit [voice] whether it is of God: because many false prophets have gone [come] out into the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesses [avows] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come[who came] out of God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not [doesn’t audibly avow] 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.

 I therefore must and do audibly confess,  that Jesus Christ is come  [is here]  in the flesh.

 

[All translations of the Bible that use a Greek text other than the traditional and faithful Textus Receptus ignore the Greek word “ictin” [the Greek word that means “is” in English].  This omission causes the meaning of “is here” to  be changed from “is” come” [is here] to “has” come”.

 

This error is self-evident because non-believers, false prophets, atheists or heretics can, and frequently do, affirm that Jesus Christ “has come” [in the flesh].

 

While this is a true statement, when taken at face value, the  meaning  “has come” is clearly not the same as “is here”; which is the valid, scriptural test of  discernment to know if words are from the Spirit of God or the spirit of antichrist.

 

The most well documented fact in all of human history is that the Lord Jesus Christ [The Messiah]  “has” come in the flesh. However, the question of much greater importance,  is not whether the spirit [a spoken or written word] being considered and tested confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether the confession being made affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is here], from God, in the flesh.

 

Ephesians 5:30-32

30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

32 This is a great mystery: but I [The Apostle Paul]  speak concerning Christ and the church.  [The body of CHRIST]

_____________________________________________________________

 

“I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here and now ,  of the body of Christ]. Because  followers of Jesus Christ are members of the incarnate Body of Christ [The Church] I affirm and avow that Jesus Christ is here [Not “Has come”] in the flesh.

Compare and consider [Meditate on] scripture with scripture:  Precept upon precept, Line upon line… 
Isaiah 28:10-14

 

Isaiah Chapter 28 

 

1Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one [crown of pride] , which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth [sits]  in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

11 For with stammering [stuttering] lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, [totally  voided]  and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

19 From the time that it goeth [goes] forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only [merely] to understand the report.

20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth  [very angry] as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

24 Doth [does] the plowman plow all day to sow? doth [does] he open and break the clods of his ground?

25 When he hath [has] made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, [black’ cumin]  and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie [rye] in their place?

26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.

29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for November 14th  *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.

 

`Spurgeon’s prayer for America featured in the PRAYER selection today:


The Lord Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, 1 John 4:2-4
was born of a virgin  A.D. 2025  years ago.                     . 
 

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory.  1 Timothy  3:16  

 

Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth:
for I am God and there is none else.   Isaiah 45:22      

 

BCE/CE  vs.  BC/AD     What’s the difference?
Learn the difference;  defend the Truth.   Won’t you?

It’s a mistake to believe that A.D. means “After Death” as many do. It actually abbreviates  Latin for Anno Domini,  a  phrase brought into English usage that means  “Year of [the/our] Lord”.  The complete  original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. A.D. is used with B.C. Before Christ  to divide all of history before and after the birth of Jesus Christ [The Messiah].   ...More

 

Please join us in prayer, devotional study, gospel preaching, and singing sacred hymns and praises as we worship God in spirit and in truth.

PRAYER 15, Part 7 of 9 November 14th 

THE PEACE OF GOD.

         He has brought us into covenant [divine promise] with Him by a covenant which can never fail, so like David we may say this morning:

 

“Although my house be not so with God, yet He hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure.”

 

Lord, bless Thy Word throughout the world. Prosper all missions amongst the heathen, all work among the Mohammedans [Islamist]; and, oh! send Thy grace to the churches at home.

 

Turn the current of thought which sets so strong in the wrong direction, and bring men to love the simplicities of the Gospel [The Good news that  Jesus, the Messiah Saves sinners].

 

Remember our country in great mercy, and in all ranks and conditions of men do Thou [You do] give the blessing.

[We ask this In the wonderful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 104: November 14th   Folly of  “the Blues.” [being depressed]
A sick and suffering brother rebuked me the other day for being cast down. [depressed] 

He said to me, “We ought never to show the white feather: but I think you do sometimes.” I asked him what he meant, and he replied, “You sometimes seem to grow [become] desponding and low. Now I am near to die, but I have no clouds and no fears.” I rejoiced to see him so joyous, and I answered, “That is right, my brother, blame me as much as you please for my unbelief, I richly deserve it.” “Why,”  [“Well,”]  he said, “you are the father of many of us. Did you not bring me and my friend over yonder to Christ?  “If you get low in spirit after so much blessing, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.”  I could say no other than,

“I am ashamed of myself, and I desire to be more confident in the future.”

Brethren, we must hope, and not fear.

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK  November 14th 

THE NAME TO USE by  C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892

-If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it-   John 14:14
-Si algo [cualesquiera]  pidiereis en mi nombre, yo lo haré-  Juan 14:14 

 

What a wide promise! Anything! Whether large or small, all my needs are covered by that word   -anything.-  Come, my soul, be free at the mercy seat, and hear thy Lord saying to thee,  -Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.-  What a wise promise! We are always to ask in the name of Jesus. While this encourages us, it also honors Him. This is a constant plea. Occasionally every other plea is darkened, especially such as we could draw from our own relation to God, or our experience of His grace; but at such times the name of Jesus is as mighty at the throne as ever, and we may plead it with full assurance. What an instructive prayer!

 

I may not ask for anything to which I cannot put Christ’s  hand and seal.

 

I dare not use my Lord’s name to a selfish or willful [what I want] petition. I may only use my
Lord’s  name to prayers which He would Himself pray if He were in my case [circumstance]. It is a high privilege to be authorized to ask in the name of Jesus as if Jesus Himself asked; but our love to Him will never allow us to set that name where He would not have set [put] it.   Am I asking for that which Jesus approves? 

 

Dare I put His seal [name] to my prayer?  Then I have that which I seek [desire] of the Father.
 

Prayer: Thank You Lord Jesus that You will do anything we ask, in Your name; in harmony with your authority and will. Help us to associate Your name always in ways that bring only honor and glory to You.  I ask this in Your Holy name, Lord Jesus,  Amen.

       … and pray for the saving of souls and strengthening  of believers. 

The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9

 

Pray also that believers will be taught by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide God’s eternal Word preserved by God, Himself.

John 3:16       
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten [supernaturally fathered] Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but may be having eternal life.

 

vis. Textus Receptus [The Received Greek Text] (From an overwhelming majority of extant New Testament Greek manuscripts)

 

The Incomplete codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not included in the majority texts [Masoretic and Textus Receptus]. They present variant and ambiguous readings from that of  the overwhelmingly well-established majority texts.  They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts thus, providing a pretext attempting to justify the need for additional translations.  These unsettled differences and bolstering of certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have produced ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new translations.

 

Publishers cash-in by marketing the “new and better”,  never ceasing, English translations of The Bible, [World’s best seller of all time] with too little consideration for maintaining the fidelity and accuracy already settled from the majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Textus Receptus Greek.

 

God, Himself, has and will always preserve His immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word.

MORNING  November 14th    
"I will cut off them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and that [also] swear by [King]  Malcham.[national idol of the Ammonites] "— Zephaniah 1:5

 Exterminaré a los que se inclinan jurando por Jehová y jurando por su rey [Malcus]  Sofonías 1:5

      SUCH persons thought themselves safe because they were with both parties: they went with the followers of Jehovah, but bowed at the same time to Malcham.  

 

But duplicity is abominable with God—His soul hates hypocrisy [double mindedness]. The idolater who distinctly gives himself to his false god, has one sin less than he who brings his polluted and detestable sacrifice to the tem­ple of the Lord while His heart is with the world and its sins. 

 

To hold [keep company] with the hare [rabbit] and run with the hounds is a dastard's  [evil and cowardly]   policy. In the common matters of daily life a double-minded man is despised, but in religion he is loathsome to the last degree. The penalty pronounced in the verse before us is terrible, but it is well deserved; for how should divine justice spare the sinner, who knows the right, approves it, and professes to follow it, but all the while loves the evil and gives it dominion in his heart?

 

My soul, search yourself this morning, and see whether you are guilty of double dealing. You profess to be a follower of Jesus—do you truly love Him?  Is your heart right with God? Are you of the family of old Father Honest, or are you a relative of Mr. By-ends [characters “personified” in John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress  the one [Father Honest] portraying complete honesty but the other [Mr. By-ends]  believed that the end justified the means]?   [For] A name to live is of little value if it be indeed dead in trespasses and sins. To have one foot on the land of truth, and another on the sea of falsehood, will involve a terrible fall and a total ruin.[Jesus] Christ will be all or nothing.  God fills the whole universe, and hence there is no room for another god; if He reigns in my heart, then there will be no space for another reigning power. Do I rest alone on Jesus crucified and live alone for Him? Is it my desire to do so? Is my heart set on so doing? If so, blessed be the mighty grace which has led me to salvation; and if not so,

 

0 Lord, pardon my sad offense, and unite my heart to fear Your name.

 EVENING   November 14th    

"And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. "— Genesis 29:26
—Y Labán respondió: No se hace así en nuestro lugar, que se dé la menor antes de la mayor— Génesis 29:26

 

       WE do not excuse Laban for his dishonesty, but we do not hesitate to learn from the custom [his culture] which he quoted as his excuse. There are some things that must be taken in order, and if we would win the second we must secure the first. The second may be the more lovely in our eyes, but the rule of the heavenly country must stand, and the elder must be married first.

 

For instance, many men desire the beautiful and well favored Rachel of joy and peace in believing,  but they must first be wedded [married] to the tender-eyed  Leah of repentance. Every one falls in love with happiness, and many would cheerfully serve twice [two times] seven years to enjoy it, but  according to the rule of the Lord's kingdom, the Leah of real holiness must be beloved of our soul before the Rachel of true happiness can be attained.

 

Heaven stands not first but second, and only by persevering to the end can we win a portion in it. The cross must be carried before the crown can be worn. We must follow our Lord in His humiliation, or we shall never rest with Him in glory.


My soul, what do you say, are you so vain as to hope to break through the heavenly rule? Do you hope for re­ward without labor, or honor without toil? Dismiss the idle expectation, and be content to take the ill-favored things for the sake of the sweet love of Jesus, which will recompense for all. 

 

In such a spirit, laboring and suf­fering, you will find bitters grow sweet, and hard things easy. Like Jacob, your years of service will seem to you but a few days for the love you have for Jesus; and when the dear hour of the wedding feast shall come, all your toils shall be as though they had never been

 

—an hour with Jesus will make up for ages of pain and labor.

 

                                          Jesus, to win Thyself so fair,

     Thy cross I will with gladness bear: 
              Since so the rules of heaven ordain, 

The first I'll wed the next to gain.


 

MISSION STATEMENT:

           
Ecclesiastes 12:13

… Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

 Our solemn  aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus in everything. We must rely upon God completely to achieve His purposes for 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:
       The  inspired preaching, teaching, soul winning and writings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon were solely based, empowered and inspired by God’s Holy Word the Bible.  His written sermons and devotional messages continue to benefit today’s readers through authentic  Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching. His ministry continues to flourish from the original (Spurgeon’s)  Metropolitan Tabernacle a church begun in 1650.  The present  building was constructed in 1861 and rebuilt after the destruction during the second world war.

 

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 every believer and to spread the Gospel [Good news] of Jesus Christ, the Messiah to every person.

 

The Gospel in brief:
 

  • God is infinitely Holy and good. (He is the God of all grace.  He is not willing that any should perish)

  • Man is bad. (Totally depraved, hopeless and lost)

  • God made provision (Through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ to save each lost one who will come)  Whosoever will [whoever wants to] may come. This means you too.  After you come, you will see that you were saved before the foundation of the world)

 

Menu and Calendars:  (Scroll up on Home page of DailySpurgeon.com to follow daily worship through preaching,  praying, scripture reading, meditation and the singing of sacred songs.  Fidelity to all of Spurgeon’s original text and calendared dates have been carefully maintained.

 
Spurgeon Publications from which  DailySpurgeon  Print Selections have been made:

 

  • C.H. Spurgeon Prayers

  • Spurgeon’s  Illustrative Anecdotes

  • Faith’s Checkbook

  • Morning & Evening
     

These Spurgeon publications display an unmatched legacy of Gospel preaching and devotional encouragement from scripture from the anointed heart of Charles H. Spurgeon   His preaching was heard by multiple thousands in the 1800’s and he continues to be widely read and often quoted today.
 

Soul Winning is the chief goal of this ministry.  Charles Spurgeon, beloved former-pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle  demonstrated a life time of gospel preaching and Soul Winning.  You may live-stream worship services from the Tabernacle with Dr. Peter Masters, pastor since 1960 in London, U.K.  Join us, won’t you? 

Worldly influence, music and uncertain riches must not compromise Gospel Preaching and Worship and believers must adhere to the preaching of sound scriptural doctrine and sacred music to worship in spirit and in truth.
 

Our Prayer: Dear Lord, use any and all means you choose to save souls. Empower us to serve and minister to the lost and those in need, especially those in the household of faith. Revive, encourage, strengthen, and edify us as we  follow you. Help us to  share You, your lovingkindness, and the Gospel of your salvation.  May we pray fervently with  fasting according to your will and may we be the church triumphant in soul winning, and in all things holy as we follow You. In Jesus Christ name, Amen.

We offer ourselves with gratitude for your sacrifice at calvary, given to provide eternal salvation for all who believe. Accept our thanks for these and all other blessing we humbly ask in Thy name, Amen.

Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company does not solicit praise of  Charles H. Spurgeon or his writing or preaching.  He didn’t need it or want it then and wouldn’t want it now.  Our aim is to lift up and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach HIM only and Him crucified.

Precaution: These Messages and prayers are not, nor can they be, a substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Nor do they replace personal reading and meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word or the gathering together of local believers.

The Authorized King James Bible (AKJV), known also as the Authorized Version (AV), is the preferred English Bible because its accuracy and fidelity to the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] and the Hebrew Masoretic Text)  avoids doctrinal error, ungrounded nuances, editorial notes or unsupportable readings 4efrom other codices.  It is distinguished further by the requirement of Great Britain that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. By order of the Crown, no other printing of a King James Bible may be imported into or copied in Great Britain.

Printed Prayer: The daily prayer in print does not substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. It is, rather, to warm the hearts of those who are seeking a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart  fellowship and prayer with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Revelation from God during  prayer is consistent with His revealed Word, the Bible.   

Preaching Preparation:  If you would like to review a Spurgeon sermon parallel to biblical texts you may be preparing to teach or preach, please let us know the scripture reference and topic. We will research and send you a  selection with the same scripture reference or the  most closely related topic from Spurgeon’s work. It is our joy to make this available asking only that you give proper authorship credit. [Honor to whom honor is due…]  Thank you.

My Prayer: Dear Father,  please touch, lift up, encourage and teach all who read this.  Bless all ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Your blessing and holy anointing fall fresh and continually upon each one who rightly divides and proclaims Your Word. Please save many souls;  all glory to You. I pray this in the name of our only Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

A SINNERS PRAYER    (FOR WHO SO EVER):
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

  

 So, pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved   … won’t you? 

 
(Pray out loud and from your heart)

“Lord Jesus, I’m lost.  I’m a selfish, sinful and hopeless sinner.  I cannot save myself. Without you and your willing sacrifice on the cross  to save me, I would be bound for Hell. In my sinfulness I reflect my fallen nature.  Without Your grace, I’m  totally depraved and I sin because I am a sinner. Please save me.

I now realize that doing my best, or being good, or as good as I can, or being better than others or rationalizing or making excuses for myself can never save me.

I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me. I call on You right now to save me.  You died on the cross in my place to pay  for my sin. You say in Your word,  “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. I call  on Your name, right now Lord Jesus.  I come to You,  just as I am, trusting You to save me. I look to you  as my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me of all my sin. I’m sorry for each one. Thank you, Lord,  for saving me.  You paid the price, in full,  for all of my sins and the sins of the whole world once and for all by suffering and dying on the cross.  
Thank You that You loved me so much that you would die for me.

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for saving me.  Thank You that You  bringing me to see Your love for me and that the wages of sin is death but eternal life is mine through the Lord Jesus Christ who suffered and died as the sacrifice  Lamb of God.  

 

     Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave and that in Him I can now be, for all eternity, born again.

A  SINNER’S   PRAYER:  

    Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

    Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus.

 

Pray like this, won’t you? :  

“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner hopeless without You.  I will never be able to save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. By nature  and  practice I am a sinner. I’m  totally depraved and  I sin because I am a sinner. Please forgive me.

I realize that doing my best or being as good as possible, or being better than other people or having good excuses can never save me.
I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You,  by name,  Lord Jesus, right now to save me.  You died on the cross in my place to pay  for my sin. Your Word says,  “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Thank You, Lord.

 

     Right now, I surrender my sinful self  to You,  just as I am, Lord Jesus. I trust You to forgive me and save me and be my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry for every sin (bad thoughts, words and things I have done) and look to You to forgive me of them all.  I need your strength to overcome sin’s temptations. Thank you for forgiving me.
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 have made the way  of  redemption, forgiveness and  atonement for me  and have drawn me away from sin and death into Life  in Your only begotten son.  He took  my place and suffered my punishment.

 

     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. In Christ Jesus there is therefore now no condemnation.
 

     Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Holy Spirit for my guidance, comfort  and solemn instruction into all truth,  Amen.”

    With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

 

 

 

     Please allow us to rejoice over your new birth in the presence of angels in heaven who rejoice over one sinner that repents. Luke 15:10
