00:17 Hi and welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:19 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and today 00:21 we're going to start reading 00:22 together at the very beginning: 00:23 Genesis chapter 1. 00:25 But before we start, let's pray to God together. 00:28 Dear Jesus and God our Father, 00:31 thank you so much that You loved us enough 00:35 that You created us out of nothing 00:36 and then You came from heaven and You redeemed us out of sin 00:40 and re-created us... made us whole again. 00:43 Help us as we read the story of Your power to create 00:47 that the words will take root in our hearts and create us 00:51 with more power to serve You 00:53 and to bear fruit to Your glory. 00:55 We love You so much, and thank you for loving us. Amen. 00:59 I'm reading today from Genesis chapter 1, 01:02 the King James version of the Bible, 01:04 and we're starting with verse 1. 01:06 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 01:10 And the earth was without form, and void; 01:13 and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 01:16 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 01:19 And God said, "Let there be light: " and there was light. 01:23 And God saw the light, that it was good: 01:26 and God divided the light from the darkness. 01:29 And God called the light Day, 01:31 and the darkness He called Night. 01:33 And the evening and the morning were the first day. 01:37 And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the 01:40 waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. " 01:43 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters 01:46 which were under the firmament from the waters which were 01:49 above the firmament: and it was so. 01:52 And God called the firmament Heaven. 01:55 And the evening and the morning were the second day. 01:59 And God said, "Let the waters under the heaven be gathered 02:04 together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: 02:08 and it was so. 02:10 And God called the dry land Earth; 02:13 and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas: 02:16 and God saw that it was good. 02:19 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, 02:23 the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit 02:27 after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: 02:31 and it was so. 02:34 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed 02:38 after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, 02:40 whose seed was in itself, after his kind: 02:43 and God saw that it was good. 02:45 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 02:49 And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament 02:52 of the heaven to divide the day from the night; 02:55 and let them be for signs, and for seasons, 02:57 and for days, and years: 02:59 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven 03:02 to give light upon the earth: " and it was so. 03:07 And God made two great lights; 03:09 the greater light to rule the day, 03:12 and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also. 03:16 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven 03:19 to give light upon the earth. 03:20 And to rule over the day and over the night, 03:23 and to divide the light from the darkness: 03:25 and God saw that it was good. 03:27 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 03:31 And God said, "Let the waters bring forth abundantly 03:35 the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly 03:39 above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. " 03:42 And God created great whales, and every living creature 03:46 that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, 03:48 after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: 03:52 and God saw that it was good. 03:55 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, 03:59 and fill the waters in the seas, 04:01 and let fowl multiply in the earth. 04:04 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 04:07 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature 04:12 after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, 04:15 and beast of the earth after his kind: " and it was so. 04:19 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, 04:22 and cattle after their kind, 04:24 and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: 04:27 and God saw that it was good. 04:30 And God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, 04:35 after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish 04:39 of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, 04:41 and over the cattle, and over all the earth, 04:43 and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. " 04:46 So God created man in His own image, 04:51 in the image of God created He him; 04:54 male and female created He them. 04:57 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, 05:00 "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, 05:04 and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, 05:07 and over the fowl of the air, 05:09 and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. " 05:12 And God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing 05:17 seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, 05:19 and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: 05:24 to you it shall be for meat. 05:27 And to every breast of the earth, and to every fowl 05:29 of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 05:32 wherein there is life, I have every given green herb 05:36 for meat: " and it was so. 05:38 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, 05:42 it was very good. 05:44 And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 05:47 We are reading the account of when God created the earth 05:50 from Genesis. We are now in chapter 2, 05:52 and this is the King James version. 05:54 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, 05:57 and all the host of them. 05:59 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made: 06:03 and He rested on the seventh day 06:05 from all His work which He had made. 06:08 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: 06:10 because that in it He had rested from all His work 06:14 which God created and made. 06:16 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth 06:20 when they were created, in the day that the Lord God 06:22 made the earth and the heavens. 06:24 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, 06:27 and every herb of the field before it grew: 06:30 for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, 06:33 and there was not a man to till the ground. 06:36 But there went up a mist from the earth, 06:38 and watered the whole face of the ground. 06:41 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 06:46 and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 06:49 and man became a living soul. 06:53 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; 06:57 and there He put the man whom He had formed. 07:00 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree 07:04 that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; 07:06 the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, 07:10 and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 07:13 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; 07:17 and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 07:21 The name of the first is Pison: 07:23 that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, 07:27 where there is gold; 07:29 and the gold of that land is good: 07:31 there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 07:33 And the name of the second river is Gihon: 07:36 the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 07:39 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: 07:42 that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. 07:45 And the fourth river is Euphrates. 07:48 And the Lord God took the man, 07:50 and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 07:54 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 07:56 "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 08:00 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, 08:03 thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou 08:07 eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. " 08:10 And the Lord God said, 08:11 "It is not good that the man should be alone: 08:14 I will make him a help meet for him. " 08:17 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast 08:20 of the field, and every fowl of the air; 08:21 and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: 08:25 and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, 08:28 that was the name thereof. 08:29 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the 08:34 air, and to every beast of the field; 08:36 but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him. 08:41 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, 08:45 and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, 08:49 and closed up the flesh instead thereof: 08:51 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, 08:55 made He a woman, and brought her unto the man. 08:59 And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, 09:04 and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, 09:08 because she was taken out of Man. " 09:10 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, 09:15 and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh. 09:19 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, 09:22 and were not ashamed. 09:24 Again we are reading from the book of Genesis. 09:26 And now... chapter 3. 09:28 This is the King James version. 09:30 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field 09:34 which the Lord God had made. 09:36 And he said unto the woman, 09:40 "Yea, hath God said, 09:42 Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? " 09:45 And the woman said unto the serpent, 09:47 "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 09:50 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the 09:53 garden, God hath said ye shall not eat of it, 09:56 neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. " 09:59 And the serpent said unto the woman, 10:02 "Ye shall not surely die: 10:03 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, 10:07 then your eyes shall be opened, 10:09 and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. " 10:12 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, 10:16 and that it was pleasant to the eyes, 10:19 and a tree to be desired to make one wise, 10:22 she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, 10:26 and gave also unto her husband with her: and he did eat. 10:30 And the eyes of them both were opened, 10:33 and they knew that they were naked; 10:35 and they sewed fig leaves together; 10:37 and made themselves aprons. 10:39 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the 10:42 garden in the cool of the day: 10:44 and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence 10:48 of the Lord God, amongst the trees of the garden. 10:51 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, 10:55 "Where art thou? " 10:56 And he said, "I heard Thy voice in the garden, 11:00 and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. " 11:04 And He said, "Who told thee that thou wast naked? 11:09 Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee 11:12 that thou shouldest not eat? " 11:14 And the man said, "The woman whom thou gavest 11:18 to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. " 11:22 And the Lord God said unto the woman, 11:24 "What is this that thou has done? " 11:27 And the woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. " 11:32 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, 11:35 "Because thou hast done this, 11:38 thou art cursed above all cattle, 11:40 and above every beast of the field; 11:42 upon thy belly shalt thou go, 11:45 and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 11:48 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, 11:52 and between thy seed and her seed; 11:55 it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. " 12:01 Unto the women He said, 12:03 "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; 12:07 in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; 12:10 and thy desire shall be to thy husband, 12:13 and he shall rule over thee. " 12:15 And unto Adam He said, 12:17 "Because thou has hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, 12:21 and has eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, 12:24 'Thou shalt not eat of it: ' 12:26 cursed is the ground for thy sake; 12:29 in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 12:33 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; 12:37 and thou shalt eat the herb of the field: 12:40 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, 12:43 till thou return unto the ground; 12:46 for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, 12:50 and unto dust shalt thou return. " 12:53 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; 12:56 because she was the mother of all living. 12:58 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats 13:02 of skins, and clothed them. 13:05 And the Lord God said, "Behold, the man is become 13:07 as one of Us, to know good and evil: 13:10 and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the 13:13 tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 13:15 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, 13:19 to till the ground from whence he was taken. 13:22 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the 13:26 garden of Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned 13:30 every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. 13:34 We are reading from the book of Genesis, and we are 13:36 beginning now in chapter 4. 13:38 This is the King James version. 13:40 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, 13:44 and bare Cain, and said, 13:46 "I have gotten a man from the Lord. " 13:49 And she again bare his brother Abel. 13:52 And Abel was a keeper of sheep, 13:55 but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 13:57 And in process of time it came to pass, 14:01 that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering 14:04 unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the 14:08 firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. 14:11 And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 14:16 But unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. 14:21 And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 14:25 Thank you for joining with me today 14:28 to read of the Word of God. 14:29 Until we're together again, may God bless and keep you. 14:32 Goodbye. |
