“Delight” and “Desires” are Biblical Words

God wants to grant the very desires of our hearts and that’s made clear in Christ’s statement:

“Have faith in God (not self) …. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24

WHY not just stop and simply ask HIM?

Abraham

Abraham appears 250 times in God’s Word. Think he’s important?

At God’s command, Abraham, by faith in God and self-abandonment, went out towards a land he had no earthly idea even existed.

“By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrews 11:8

Hebrews 11 is what is called the “hall of faith” chapter where our LORD heralds the faith of many patriarchs who went before us. One of them is beloved Abraham. God promised them a baby. He’s 100 and she’s 90 – and they are going to have a baby!!! NOW, what can’t God do for you?! “Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?” (Genesis 17:17) … Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” (Genesis 18:14)

When we read Hebrews 11 afresh, we begin to further realize that FAITH is not something we use to get things for ourselves but rather something He requires and is the blessed connection we enjoy between God and ourselves.

Jesus’ Prayer

Have you of late read Jesus’ prayer to our Heavenly Father as is on record in John 17? Study that prayer. Much can be learned by what Christ prayed. You will note the grand theme of His being one with His Father and asking that we – His beloved children – be made one with Him.

“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” John 17:21

When we begin to serve the LORD with the deep desire to continually know Him better, then we will begin to pray with the LORD’s desire and delight in mind – caring for His glory and not our own selfish lusts. It’s then that we will know He’s conforming us to Christ’s holy image.

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:29

Do you desire Christ-likeness? Are you asking God daily to conform you to Christ’s holy image? Is this not His stated will for your life and for mine? Are we truly “crucified with Christ”? (Galatians 2:20) Are you being taught this daily cross message?

In His earthly life Jesus set this example for us to follow – “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” (John 5:30)

“Not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42

Worshiping, serving, and praying to God with the right motives is important to the LORD. When we do things His way, He promises that “all” His blessings will follow:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

GOD is not a genie or slot machine. We don’t obey Him to get something from Him but because we are choosing to love and worship Him for who He is, the Almighty, supreme LORD our Redeemer!

The LORD gave conditions for having our prayers answered. Listen to the apostle John’s words:

“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” 1 John 3:22

What if God just gave you everything your sinful heart desires? Think about it: You would never be moved into the place of being conformed to Christ’s image. Now that would be tragic, wouldn’t it? No, we have to “seek … first” His blessed kingdom’s glory and not our own glory and in that process He is conforming us to Christ.

I must ask myself the simple question “What are my motives in serving God and in my prayers?”

Praying with the right motives is important to the LORD.

—–BIBLICAL FAITH IS NOT ABOUT ATTEMPTING TO USE GOD TO GET SOMETHING FOR OURSELVES (AS THE WORD OF FAITH WOLVES WOULD LEAD THEIR PREY TO BELIEVE). FAITH IS NOT COMING UP WITH SOMETHING WE WANT AND TRYING TO GET GOD TO PROVIDE IT FOR US. REMEMBER WHAT JAMES WARNED US OF?

“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” James 4:3

In the above verse, it seems that the Holy Spirit is addressing misguided, wrong, unpurged motives here. And, as long as our hearts are being circumcised by the LORD through the daily cross, we will not have those self-centered motives that cannot be hid from God who sees all. He cannot be deceived (Galatians 6:7). Instead, we will be made one with Him through daily communion – on His terms – and will pray His perfect will which has Him, His kingdom, and others in mind, not just us or our selfish desires.

If we are denying Christ by denying that “daily” cross He commanded us to take up, we are still praying out of an uncircumcised heart (Philippians 3:3). Can you begin to see how that “daily” dying truly is at the center of our walk with Him?

A pure heart is of the utmost importance to the LORD and can only come as a result of laying ourselves, our will, our lives, our desires aside for His greater glory. It’s really not that difficult friend. When you wake up tomorrow morning, or even right now, stand up before the LORD. Raise your hands and say from your heart “Holy Father, into Your holy hands I commend (submit) my spirit.”(Luke 23:46)

Here’s a sampling of the LORD’s desire for us to have a heart purified by Him – a pure heart:

“Now the end of the commandment (the chief, supreme purpose of all of God’s Word) is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.” 1 Timothy 1:5

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

Our LORD would have us to pray for a pure heart: “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalms 51:10

Jesus made it clear that He desires to answer our prayers for what we desire and yet, those desires have to come out of a daily cross relationship with the LORD where our desires are made one with His. Isn’t that what He’s getting at when He tells us this?:

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4

Let’s establish firstly that “delight” and “desires” are God’s words and therefore important to Him.

As we “delight” in knowing and truly worshiping the LORD “in spirit and in truth,” our “desires” will be purified and conformed perfectly to His (John 4:23-24). Then, when we ask – when we pray – there will be congruency.

As we are made one with Christ by seeking Him, we will then “delight” in Him and our “desires” will be what He desires.

MODERN WOLVES ARE EASILY IDENTIFIED AS THOSE WHO ARE LEADING A WHOLE GENERATION TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS JUST SITTING IN HEAVEN WAITING FOR THEM TO USE HIS WORD AGAINST HIM, TO HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO GET THE THINGS THEY SO DESIRE, TO OBTAIN MANY THINGS FROM HIM FOR THEIR OWN SELF-SERVING USE. BASICALLY, IN THIS GODLESS THEOLOGY, THE INDIVIDUAL IS HIS OWN “LITTLE GOD” WHO DESIGNS AND ORDERS HIS OWN WORLD USING WORDS BY HIS OWN FAITH. SO HE’S IN CONTROL, NOT THE LORD. THIS EVIL THEOLOGY SUPPOSES THAT THE LORD, THE ONLY SAVIOR, HAS NO FURTHER SANCTIFYING PURPOSE FOR THE LIVES OF THOSE HE HAS SAVED FROM SIN AND HELL. NONSENSE. TITUS 2:11-14

But the Bible says:

“And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” 2 Corinthians 5:15

The true follower of Christ does not live for his own glory but rather for God’s. He knows that he is no longer his own but rather bought with the price of the very blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Such a person who does things his own way instead of God’s is not right with God. You see, the LORD must be followed and obeyed on His clearly stated (biblical) terms and no other.

While we should desire to have an open prayer life – life of prayer – with the LORD, we must also understand that God is after more than just giving us all that we ask for and all that our sinful, self-serving hearts desire.

WE ARE TO OFFER EVERY “SUPPLICATION”TO THE LORD (PHILIPPIANS 4:6). A “SUPPLICATION” IS SIMPLY A HUMBLE REQUEST TO THE FATHER IN JESUS’ NAME (JOHN 16:23-24).  WHILE “SUPPLICATION” IS IMPORTANT, SO ALSO IS COMMUNION – PRAYER COMMUNION. THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF PRAYER IN GOD’S WORD AND SEEN IN THE LIVES OF HIS PEOPLE THROUGHOUT HOLY SCRIPTURE. IT’S QUITE AMAZING HOW THAT A WHOLE INDUSTRY OPERATING WITHIN THE CHURCH WORLD ONLY EMPHASIZES ONE OF MANY ASPECTS OF PRAYER. WHY? WELL, IT’S TO THEIR GREEDY ADVANTAGE. IT’S TO THEIR SELF-SERVING PURPOSE TO GET YOU DEMANDING AND ASKING GOD IN PRAYER FOR EVERY LITTLE COVETOUS THING YOUR DEPRAVED HEART SO DESIRES. YOU SEE, THEY WANT YOU LIKING THEM SO THEY TELL YOU WHAT YOUR SINFUL NATURE WANTS TO HEAR SO THAT YOU WILL RECIPROCATE WITH GIVING/SUPPORTING THEIR MINISTRY ($). THESE GREEDY BEGUILERS WILL NEVER TELL YOU TO DIE DOOR NAIL DEAD – TO BE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST AND THEREFORE RAISED UP IN HIS BLESSED POWER TO GLORIFY HIM ALONE! WHY? –BECAUSE SUCH DOESN’T SELL! (PHILIPPIANS 3:18-19)

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8

Has Jesus changed? No. Impossible. Did Jesus do miracles while on earth? Yes.

Does God still do miracles? YES. Hebrews 13:8. He does miracles and gives prophecy but not fake stuff. The LORD’s works are real, tanglible. They can be proven and not just propped by false ministers (2 Corinthians 11:12-15). God’s miracles are authentic and bring glory to Him and not the mere men (1 Corinthians 1:29-31; Colossians 2:18-19). Lots of frauds pretending to raise the dead and prophesy and do miracles – Jesus foretold this very thing and told us that they’d be cast into hell (Matthew 7:21-23). These are Satan’s counterfeiters and yet, their evil in no way negates the miracle working power of our unchanging LORD Jesus today!

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21-23

God the Father answers prayer and does miracles in the name of Jesus and on His perfect merit alone! (John 14:13-14; 16:23-24) Anything added is of Satan in order to draw attention from and steal the glory from Christ! (Colossians 2:18-19)

A relationship with the LORD is not all about us but rather about Him. It involves knowing, worshiping, and obeying Him and trusting in His wisdom. Since He loves us He will not answer the prayer we might pray that’s out of His will (unless one persists – then He may turn us over as He did when Israel cried out for a human king in rejection of Him 1 Samuel 8:6. See Give Us a King!. Faith will quicken us to prayer and to truly trust that God will bring to pass His perfect will. It is trusting that He can and will do what we CANNOT do (Mark 10:27).

Are You Following the Voices of Wolves instead of Christ?

IF I AM SO VERY WILLING TO ASK GOD FOR THE THINGS I THINK I NEED AND YET, AM NOT WALKING WITH HIM ACCORDING AS HE HAS PRESCRIBED, MIGHT HE FRUSTRATE MY LIFE IN ORDER TO GET ME ALIGNED WITH HIM? (HEBREWS 12:5-6) ISN’T HE THE POTTER AND WE HIS CLAY? (JEREMIAH 18:6). THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, HE’S IN CHARGE, NOT ME – OR YOU.

You see, today, most Christians (or people who think they are Christians) are living according to the voices of the day which are calling them to worship at the altar of self. Hint: There’s no cross (dying to self) in their message, hence they deny Christ. Weren’t we forewarned of these end-time wolves and their “damnable heresies”?

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3

THE GULLIBLE, WHO ARE NOT IN GOD’S WORD DAILY, ARE EASILY MANIPULATED AND MISLED FOR THE SELF-SERVING PURPOSES OF THE “MANY FALSE PROPHETS” THAT OPERATE TODAY (MATTHEW 7:15). THE “CHRISTIAN” INDUSTRY OF SPEAKING AND WRITING IS A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR ENTERPRISE WHEREIN THE “FALSE PROPHETS” AND THE “FALSE TEACHERS” OPERATE TODAY. THESE LARGE SUMS OF MONEY ARE BEING GENERATED AS THEY “MAKE MERCHANDISE” OF THOSE WHO LACK THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S WORD. THEY ARE BEING EXPLOITED AND “DESTROYED” BY THESE MANY FALSE LEADERS.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6

The prophet Isaiah warned:

“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16

Only those who refuse to have an independent, individual, personal daily walk with Christ will be deceived and ultimately damned ( 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).  You see, so many today who have been saved “fall away” afterwards because they refuse to lay down their own lives in this sinful, fleeting world. They refuse to genuinely follow Jesus – HIS way (Luke 8:13; Galatians 5:4).

THE FACT THAT THESE MODERN WOLVES CAN SPEAK OF SUCCESS IN THIS EARTHLY LIFE, RELATIONSHIPS, CHURCH ATTENDANCE, GETTING MORE FAVOR AND FINANCES FOR SELF, ETC., AND NEVER TEACH THE “DAILY” CROSS JESUS TAUGHT SO OFTEN AS AN ESSENTIAL, IDENTIFIES THEM AS “ENEMIES OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST.” (LUKE 9:23-24; PHILIPPIANS 3:18-19)

“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction (they’re going to hell), whose God is their belly (carnal, self-serving appetites), and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19

YES THERE IS ABSOLUTE ANSWERED PRAYER, BREAKTHROUGH, MIRACLES, AND COMPLETE AND TOTAL VICTORY IN THE LORD – WHEN WE TRULY OBSERVE AND DO THINGS HIS WAY AND NOT OUR OWN AND NOT ANYONE ELSE’S WAY (JOHN 15:7). WE MUST LEARN THE LORD’S WAYS THROUGH DAILY PERSONAL STUDY OF HIS WORD AND WHEN WE DO WE WILL THEREFORE “HATE EVERY FALSE WAY.” (PSALMS 119:104; 128)

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7

God be thanked that we can pray to Him with all confidence and access through our LORD Jesus Christ.

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” 1 John 5:14-15

FAKE THEOLOGIAN DESTROYED: Is Learning Hebrew and Greek Necessary to Understand God’s Word?


The question of whether or not knowing Hebrew and Greek helps one to understand the Bible

Matthew 11:25 – God says that He reveals His truth, truths to even the babes in Christ and you say that God’s people have to go learn 2 new languages before they understand God through His Word? Both can’t be right and so one of you is lying, is bearing false witness.

Notice how that “from a child” Timothy knew the “holy scriptures” and the wisdom they give us.

“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:15-17

Perhaps some of these guys are insecure novices who have found a way they think they can attempt to elevate themselves over others. They are full of pride. This is why God’s Word says that in the qualifications for overseers among Christ’s saints, the Word says “Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil” (1 Timothy 3:6).

This is an important discussion. There are many would-be “theologians” who go around touting that they read the original manuscripts and know Hebrew and Greek, and that you can’t understand God’s Word unless you “go back to the Hebrew and Greek, etc.” This is a dangerous and diabolical ploy to mislead people.

The good news is that God provided every single inhabitant of earth the blessing of knowing Him and knowing His Word. This He did to secure them for His eternal kingdom and to protect them from the “MANY false prophets” He promised would “deceive MANY” (Matthew 24:11).

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”  Psalms 119:130

Do we not call God a fool for bringing His Word into our language and yet we’re not even able to understand it?

Saying that we need to read the original language of manuscripts makes any one want to give up before they start.

Anyone telling you that you need to learn Hebrew and or Greek to understand the Bible is pulling the wool over your eyes…. is a lying snake, wolf, and false prophet, who is attempting to seduce you to elevate THEM in your mind and to perhaps trust in and follow them because, after all THEY, only THEY really understand God’s Word. Beware. We were warned.

To the deceiver, it serves a satanic purpose to tell people that they have to go learn two whole new languages in order to understand God’s Word:

  1. It makes the hearer think they need the one giving them this lie.
  2. to hide the truth from the common people.

Beware of those who seek to remove the key of knowledge from the people so they can corral and exploit them (Luke 11:52).

Telling you that you need to go learn two whole new languages is to their benefit – they are manipulating you – to put you under their control… because after all, THEY have the key of knowledge, the Hebrew and the Greek, and you don’t, so you need them. It’s a self-appointed elitist club and you’re not in it. Their agenda is to put you under them, to position you to exploit (2 Peter 2:19).

Make no mistake, my intent was to bury this filthy wolf who is misleading people to believe they need to go learn two whole new languages in order to understand God’s Word which God Himself made sure we have in our own language. Beware of Satan’s agents like this.

There are those who pretend to preside over the understanding of God’s Word. Beware. They are absolutely self-serving ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15).

In this exchange (below), please know that my intent was to rebuke this man sharply as the Holy Spirit commanded us to do to false teachers, wolves who mislead and devour Christ’s flock (Titus 1:13).

MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM A FAKE “bible” DEFENDER WHO PRETENDS TO BE A SCHOLAR:

“I use multiple sources so i dont have a ‘fake bible’ as you claim. And by your definition, all bibles would be fake that are english translated. I study manuscripts from as close to the 1st century as i can. So that means i use many sources. Any good student does the same. And since He is the Master, and I’m the student, then that makes my responsibility extremely important to study as one to be approved. You really need to repent of your anger and maliciousness. And before you comment on things being fake, make sure you study the original language used to determine if the translation is correct. And even then you have to be careful. Satan has done a masterful job at contaminating the scriptures.”

REPLY:

In other words, you are saying that anyone who doesn’t undertake to study the “original languages,” the Greek and Hebrews for the rest of their lives, cannot possibly understand the simple truth of God given to all men in His Word? …. hmmmmm OH OF COURSE THEY HAVE THE OPTION OF JUST PATRONIZING HIGH AND MIGHTY YOU WHO CAN TELL THEM WHAT GOD SAYS, RIGHT? How convenient.

​Notice how you cowarded out and didn’t even answer the simple questions I asked of you concerning a mere sampling of Bible verses that have been perverted in the fake “bibles” you defend.

Here were the simple questions I asked you and you refused to answer:

    1. Why is the “BLOOD” of Jesus removed from the fake “bibles” you are defending? In Colossians 1:14.
    2. Why is Romans 8:1 chopped in half in the phony “bibles” you promote and defend?
    3. Why are whole verses such as Matthew 17:21 and Acts 8:37 completely removed from the cheap counterfeits you believe are the Bible?

You are now claiming that God did not keep His promise to preserve His Word to our generation (Psalms 12:6-7)…. which is a grand indictment upon the Almighty. Not impressed with your “study” of manuscripts because the LORD told us He would preserve His Word for us in our own language (Psalms 12:6-7). The pharisees were supposedly very learn-ed and yet hell bound (Matthew 23, etc.). You have been straight up rebuked, your false tables are turned over and now you’re trying to gaslight me, blame me for it. The need to learn the original languages has been debunked long ago. Typically, like an antichrist pharisee, the enemy of Christ, you desire to take away the ability for the average person to learn and know God’s Word (Luke 11:52).  “Woe unto you, lawyers! (doctors of the law) for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” What you are doing is selling people on the lie that YOU know things they can’t possibly know because they don’t know Hebrew and Greek. Do you speak Hebrew or Greek? No. Do YOU write in Hebrew or Greek? No, you don’t. So by your own false standard YOU can’t even understand the Word of God. So the god you serve is Satan because the God of the Bible makes known and makes available His truth to the humble and lowly who seek Him. Jesus says “At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes” (Matthew 11:25). This is the typical esoteric deception where certain wolves among the people claim to have exclusive access to secret knowledge as they seduce and attempt make people to be dependent upon them and not God. No one needs you or me, sinner. Repent now.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” Matthew 11:25

You are clearly a false prophet who wants people to come to you, to rely on you and your pretended knowledge of God and His Word. That is, you want them to patronize you instead of going to God Himself, in His own Word, which He gave us in our own language as He promised to do (Psalms 12:6-7). The demons in you are the same wicked spirits that inhabited the now burning in hell false leaders of Christ’s day who took away the key of knowledge from the common man (Luke 11:52). You and those spirits want people to hear your perverted, pretended version of what God says. God makes His Word available to all men so that they can know Him and His truth and not be deceived by the “MANY false prophets” whom Jesus said would “deceive MANY” in the final days before Jesus returns (Matthew 24:11).

A Classic Case of Antichrist Self-Promotion

Simon the Sorcerer

“But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, GIVING OUT THAT HIMSELF WAS SOME GREAT ONE: 10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time HE HAD BEWITCHED THEM WITH SORCERIES.” Acts 8:9-11

This type of self-idolatry and worship of a mere sinful man is all too common today and comes in various packages, yet is the same principle of fact. Till Jesus returns, there will be those who give out that they are some “great one” when they are merely ungodly sinners. Recently a man was promoting himself as one who “reads the original manuscripts” and so he is higher and more special than others. He laughably went so far as to say that anyone who wants to understand the Bible must go to the original manuscripts. Would someone like to inform this self-serving wolf that God kept His promise to preserve His Word to us in our own language? It’s called the King James Bible.

So, do we trust in today’s wolves who claim THEY have the key of knowledge, of understanding God’s Word and pretending that people need them? Or do we trust GOD Himself who gave us HIS Word in our own language ….. and He alone can give us His understanding of His Word?

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms 119:89

The LORD graciously gave us His written Word in our own language to nourish, edify, feed, and protect us—His very people.

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield (protection) unto them that put their trust in him. 6  Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6

PRAYER: Father thank You for preserving and giving us Your written Word in our own language. Please teach us Your ways and grant Your children discernment. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Book of 2 Peter Narrated [podcast]


Chapter 1

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost

Chapter 2

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Chapter 3

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

“Be thou in the Fear of the LORD all the Day Long” [podcast]


“Be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.” Proverbs 23:17

One sources notes that ….

“Fearing God means having a profound, reverent awe of His holiness, power, and majesty, recognizing His supremacy and our dependence on Him, which leads to wisdom, humility, and obedience, rather than terror. It’s a posture of respect that involves taking God seriously, hating evil, living with integrity, and prioritizing His will in all aspects of life, all while balancing this with the knowledge of His love and mercy as a Father.” 

We are to let God be our “dread.”

“Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.” Isaiah 8:13

We are to tremble at His Word.

“For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.” Isaiah 66:2

“Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.” Isaiah 66:5

“Exodus 20:20 ‘And Moses said unto the people, Fear not; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.’ When you truly fear the Lord you will not live in willful sin and disobedience. Because you know He is a holy and Just God and must punish sin! Hebrews 10:31 ‘It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.’ Just that verse along should instill the fear of the Lord in anyone’s heart!” Karen Cochran

There are many benefits to fearing God and one of them is a “clean” heart and life.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.” Psalms 19:9

A Great Prayer to Pray Daily

“Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.” Psalms 86:11

Fearing God brings “strong confidence”, blessed children, and departing from the snares of death ….

“In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. 27  The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.” Proverbs 14:26-27

Anyone who is presently living in sin instead of abiding in the Savior, simply does not fear God.

Those who fear the LORD are crucified with Christ and thereby being raised up and overcoming sin.

“For he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7

Another Great Prayer Daily

“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;” Ephesians 3:16

Having a heart so peaceful there is no fear of anything evil.

“But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33

“Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” Proverbs 4:25-27

“For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.” Proverbs 3:26

“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12

The earliest followers of Jesus “were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.”

“Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.” Acts 9:31

The fear of the LORD brings deliverance – Psalms 34:7-10

“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8  O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9  O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10  The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.” Psalms 34:7-10

The beginning of wisdom is truly fearing God:

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10

The fruit of fearing the LORD:

“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.” Proverbs 8:13

Prayer: Unite my heart to fear Thy holy name LORD. Teach me Your wisdom. In Jesus’ name, amen LORD.
