00:16 Hi, and welcome to HIS WORDS ARE LIFE.
00:19 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and I'll be reading today 00:21 from the King James version of the Bible. 00:23 You know, Peter writes that the grass of the field will wither, 00:27 and fade away, but the word of the Lord stands forever. 00:31 Before we go and read the Word today let's go to him in prayer. 00:35 Dear God, thank you so much for these wonderful words 00:40 that will stand forever and the promise that is sure, 00:45 in the word that is true. May this word be not just heard; 00:49 by us; but may it take root in our heart and bear fruit 00:52 that we may give honor and glory to your name; for we love you 00:56 and we pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. 00:58 I'll be reading today from the book of Matthew, chapter seven, 01:03 the King James Version, and beginning in verse nineteen. 01:07 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, 01:12 and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits 01:16 ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, 01:20 Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that 01:24 doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 01:27 Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not 01:31 prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? 01:35 and in thy name done many wonderful works? 01:38 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: 01:42 Depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever 01:48 heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him 01:52 unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 01:56 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, 02:00 and beat upon that house and it fell not: for it was founded 02:04 upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, 02:08 and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, 02:13 which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended 02:17 and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that 02:21 house and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 02:25 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, 02:29 the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them 02:33 as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 02:37 Matthew, Chapter 8. When he was come down 02:42 from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 02:45 And behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, 02:49 Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 02:52 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; 02:57 be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 03:01 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way 03:07 show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses 03:10 commanded, for a testimony unto them. And when Jesus was entered 03:14 into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 03:19 and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, 03:23 grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come 03:28 and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, 03:32 I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; 03:36 but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 03:40 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: 03:43 and I say to his man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, 03:48 and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth 03:51 it. When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them 03:56 that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great 04:01 faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall 04:06 come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, 04:09 and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 04:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer 04:17 darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 04:20 And Jesus said unto the centurian, Go thy way; 04:25 and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. 04:30 And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. 04:35 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's 04:40 mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, 04:43 and the fever left her: and she arose and ministered unto them. 04:47 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were 04:51 possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits 04:55 with his word, and healed all that were sick: 04:58 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet 05:02 saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our 05:07 sicknesses. Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, 05:11 he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 05:14 And a certain scribe came and said unto him, Master, 05:18 I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith 05:24 unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air 05:29 have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 05:34 And another of his disciples said unto him, 05:37 Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 05:41 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; 05:45 and let the dead bury their dead. 05:48 And when he was entered into a ship his disciples followed him. 05:52 And behold there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch 05:57 that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 06:01 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, 06:04 save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, 06:10 O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds 06:15 and the sea; and there was a great calm. 06:18 But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, 06:23 that even the winds and the sea obey him! 06:26 And when he was come to the other side into the country 06:32 of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, 06:37 coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man 06:41 might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, 06:46 What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? 06:49 Art thou come hither to torment us before the time? 06:53 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine 06:58 feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out 07:03 suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 07:06 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, 07:11 they went into the herd of swine and, behold, the whole herd 07:15 of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, 07:20 and perished in the waters. And they that kept them fled, 07:25 and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, 07:28 and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 07:31 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: 07:35 and when they saw him, they besought him, 07:38 that he would depart out of their coasts. 07:40 I'm reading in the book of Matthew, chapter nine. 07:43 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, 07:47 and came into his own city. And, behold, they brought to him 07:52 a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing 07:58 their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; 08:01 Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. 08:05 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, 08:11 This man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, 08:16 Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, 08:22 to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? 08:28 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth 08:34 to forgive sins, - then saith he to the sick of the palsy, - 08:38 Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, 08:45 and departed to his house. But when the multitudes saw it, 08:49 they marveled, and glorified God, which had given such power 08:54 unto men. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, 08:59 named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: 09:02 and he saith unto him Follow me. And he arose 09:06 and followed him. And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat 09:10 in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came 09:14 and sat down with him and his disciples. 09:17 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples 09:20 Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 09:24 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, 09:27 They that be whole need not a physician, 09:32 but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, 09:39 I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come 09:42 to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 09:46 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, 09:50 Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 09:56 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber 10:00 mourn, as long as the bridegroom us with them? 10:03 but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken 10:07 from them, and then shall they fast. No man putteth a piece of 10:14 new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in 10:18 to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is 10:21 made worse. Neither do men put new wine into new bottles: else 10:25 the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, 10:27 and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, 10:31 and both are preserved. While he spake these things unto them, 10:35 behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, 10:38 saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand 10:44 upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose, and followed 10:48 him, and so did his disciples. And, behold, a woman, 10:52 which was diseased with and issue of blood twelve years, 10:56 came behind him and touched the hem of his garment. 11:00 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, 11:04 I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, 11:09 and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; 11:13 thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole 11:17 from that hour. And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, 11:22 and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 11:25 he said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, 11:28 but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 11:31 But when the people were put forth, he went in, 11:35 and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. And the fame 11:39 hereof went abroad into all that land. And when Jesus departed 11:44 thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, 11:47 Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into 11:51 the house, the blind men came to him: 11:53 and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able 11:58 to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he 12:03 their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 12:07 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, 12:12 saying, See that no man know it. But they, when they were 12:16 departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. 12:19 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man 12:24 possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast out, 12:28 the dumb spake: and the multitudes marveled, 12:31 saying, It was never so seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, 12:36 He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. 12:41 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching 12:44 in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the 12:47 kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease 12:50 among the people, But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved 12:55 with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered 12:58 abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto 13:03 his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers 13:08 are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, 13:11 that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. 13:15 I'm reading from the book of Matthew, chapter 10. 13:18 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, 13:22 he gave them power against unclean spirits, 13:25 to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness 13:28 and all manner of disease. Now the names of the 12 apostles 13:32 are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew 13:37 his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 13:41 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew 13:46 the publican, James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, 13:50 whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas 13:54 Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent forth, 13:59 and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the 14:03 Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not. 14:07 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel 14:11 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand 14:16 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, 14:20 cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 14:25 Thank you again for joining me for HIS WORDS ARE LIFE. 14:29 Until we meet again, may the word keep you safe 14:32 in the love of God. Goodbye. |
