00:17 Hello, and welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer and I'll be reading today
00:20 from the King James Version, sometimes, we talk about the
00:25 word and hearing the word of the Lord and letting it take root
00:28 in our hearts, and today, Jesus tells what the person is like
00:32 who actually does hear the word, and do the word.
00:34 We're going to read that coming up here but before we begin
00:37 to read let's go to God in prayer. - Dear Heavenly Father,
00:41 thank you so much for the blessings
00:43 that you have given to us, for bringing us safely to this
00:46 point where we can come into your presence and read your word
00:49 and we want to be not just hearers of the word,
00:53 but doers of the word. We want to be the wise man who builds
00:56 his house on the rock, the solid rock of your word of life.
01:00 Be with us now and thank you again. We love you. Amen
01:04 I'm reading today from the book of Luke, starting in chapter 6
01:10 and verse 45. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart,
01:17 bringeth forth that which is good.
01:19 And an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart,
01:24 bringeth forth that which is evil. For the abundance of
01:28 the heart his mouth speaketh. And why call ye me Lord, Lord,
01:33 and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me
01:39 and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to
01:43 whom he is like: He like a man which built an house, and digged
01:47 deep and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose
01:51 the stream beat vehemently upon that house and could not shake
01:55 it, for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth,
02:00 and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation
02:04 built an house upon the earth: against which the stream
02:08 did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell;
02:11 and the ruin of that house was great.
02:14 Again, I'm reading from the gospel of Luke,
02:17 and we're now on chapter 7. Now when he had ended all
02:22 his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into
02:25 Capernaum. And a certain centurion's servant,
02:28 who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
02:31 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders
02:35 of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal
02:39 his servant. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him
02:43 instantly, saying, That he was worthy
02:45 for whom he should do this: For he loveth our nation,
02:47 and he hath built us a synagogue.
02:49 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far
02:54 from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto
02:58 him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou
03:03 shouldest enter under my roof: Wherefore neither thought I
03:06 myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word and my servant
03:10 shall be healed. For I also am a man set under authority,
03:14 having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he Goethe;
03:18 and to another, come, and he cometh; and to my servant,
03:22 Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard these things,
03:26 he marvelled at him, and turned him about,
03:29 and said unto the people that followed him,
03:31 I say unto you, I have not found so great faith no not in Israel.
03:37 And they that were sent, returning to the house
03:41 found the servant whole that had been sick.
03:44 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city
03:49 called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him,
03:52 and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate
03:56 of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out,
03:59 the only son of his mother, and she was a widow;
04:03 and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw
04:07 her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
04:12 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him
04:16 stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
04:21 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak.
04:25 And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear
04:30 on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet
04:34 is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited
04:38 his people. And this rumour of him went forth throughtout
04:42 all Judea, and throughout all the region round about.
04:45 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
04:50 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus
04:54 saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
04:58 When the men were come unto him, they said,
05:01 John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying,
05:05 Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
05:08 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities
05:13 and plagues, and of evil spirits and unto many that were blind
05:17 he gave sight. Then Jesus answering said unto them
05:21 Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard;
05:26 how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed,
05:31 the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel
05:35 is preached. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended
05:40 in me. And when the messengers of John were departed,
05:45 he began to speak unto the people concerning John,
05:48 What went ye out into the wilderness for to see?
05:52 A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see?
05:57 A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they which are gorgeously
06:01 appareled, and live delicately, are in kings courts.
06:05 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say
06:10 unto you, and much more than a prophet. This is he, of whom
06:14 it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
06:18 which shall prepare thy way before thee.
06:21 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women
06:26 there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist:
06:29 but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater
06:33 than he. And all the people that heard him and the publicans,
06:37 justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
06:42 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
06:47 against themselves, being not baptized of him.
06:51 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of
06:56 generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto
06:59 children sitting in the marketplace, and calling
07:02 one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you,
07:05 and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not
07:08 wept. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread
07:12 nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The son of man
07:17 has come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous
07:21 man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
07:24 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
07:28 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him.
07:32 And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
07:35 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner,
07:40 when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house,
07:44 brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet
07:49 behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears,
07:53 and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet
07:57 and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee
08:01 which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying,
08:05 This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what
08:09 manner of woman this is that toucheth him for she is a sinner
08:14 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat
08:19 to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
08:23 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors:
08:27 the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
08:32 and when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
08:36 both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
08:40 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he,
08:45 to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him,
08:48 Thou hast rightly judged. And he turned to the woman, and
08:53 said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman?
08:56 I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water
09:00 for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped
09:05 them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss:
09:09 but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased
09:13 to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint;
09:18 but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore
09:23 I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven;
09:27 for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,
09:31 the same loveth little And he said unto her,
09:35 Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him
09:39 began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins
09:43 also? And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee;
09:48 go in peace. - I'm reading from the gospel of Luke, chapter 8
09:53 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every
09:57 city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the
10:01 kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, and certain women
10:05 which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary
10:09 called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna
10:13 the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna,
10:17 and many others which ministered unto him of their substance.
10:20 And when much people were gathered together, and were
10:24 come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
10:27 A sower went out to sow his seed and as he sowed, some fell
10:32 by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls
10:36 of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon
10:40 as it was sprung up it withered away, because it lacked moisture
10:44 and some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it,
10:49 and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up,
10:54 and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these
10:59 things he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
11:03 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable
11:07 be? And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of
11:12 the kingdom of God but to others in parables; that seeing
11:17 they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11:20 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
11:24 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil
11:30 and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should
11:34 believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which,
11:39 when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root
11:43 which for a while believe and in time of temptation fall away.
11:48 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have
11:53 heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches
11:57 and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
12:01 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest
12:05 and good heart, having heard the word, keep it,
12:09 and bring forth fruit with patience. No man,
12:13 when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel,
12:16 or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick,
12:20 that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is
12:25 secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid,
12:29 that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore
12:33 how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given;
12:37 and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that
12:41 which he seemeth to have. Then came to him his mother
12:45 and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
12:48 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother
12:52 and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
12:54 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren
12:59 are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
13:03 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship
13:08 with his disciples: and he said said unto them. Let us go over
13:11 unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
13:14 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a
13:18 storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water,
13:22 and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him,
13:25 saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose
13:29 and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water:
13:32 and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them,
13:37 Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying,
13:42 one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth
13:46 even the winds and water, and they obey him. And they arrived
13:50 at the country of the Gadarenes which is over against Galilee.
13:54 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city
13:57 a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes,
14:02 neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus,
14:06 he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud
14:10 voice said, What have I to do with thee Jesus, thou Son of God
14:14 most high, I beseech thee, torment me not.
14:17 for he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.
14:21 for oftentimes it had caught him and he was kept bound with
14:24 chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven
14:27 of the devil into the wilderness. - Thank you
14:30 for joining with me today to read the word of God. Goodbye.
