Assignment; James 1:22; But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. “A Word Problem!” Jonah had a problem with the word. Jonah 1:2; Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it, for their wickedness is come up before me. v3; But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:6; Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. A problem with the word.  (A make-up assignment.) Jonah 2:6; I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God. (Read; Revelation 2:5) Jonah 3:1; And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, v2; Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. v3; So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8; We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. “A Word Problem, Essay!” Numbers 13:17; And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain. v27; And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. v28; Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. Isaiah 53:1; Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? Numbers 13:30; And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. v31; But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. Romans 3:4; God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

“Lord Make A Better In Me!” Genesis 12:1; Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: v2; And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: v4; So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. (See it makes no difference how old you are. All the things he left he cared for, to take on a better.) Hebrews 7:19; For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. (In doing so his resume changed.) 1 Peter 5:7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. “Lord Make A Better In Me!” (Now don’t think you’re going to leave without adversity. That being your ways, iniquities; Matthew 24:12; And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. It wants you to be bound like that, so that you want love a better.) So; 1 Peter 5:8; Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. “Lord Make A Better In Me!” Psalm 73:1; Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. v2; But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. v3; For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Again; 1 Peter 5:8; Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. “Lord Make A Better In Me!” v9; Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Psalm 73:16; When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me. v17; Until I went into the sanctuary of God: then understood I their end. “Lord Make A Better In Me! Hebrews 10:34; For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Psalm 18:18; They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. 1 Peter 5:10; But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, Make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. “Lord Make A Better In Me!” Teaching!

“Want The Matter!” Luke 6:46; And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Elisha and Naaman; 2 Kings 5:15; And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant. v16; But he said, As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it, but he refused. (The matter, have no other gods.) Deuteronomy 6:5; And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. “But Don’t Have The Heart For It!” 2 Kings 5:20; But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him. (Don’t have the heart, not sure.) 1 Corinthians 9:24; Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. “Want The Matter, But Don’t Have The Heart For It!” 2 Kings 5:25; But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. v26; And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants? Jeremiah 17:9; The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? v10; I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. “Want The Matter, But Don’t Have The Heart For It!” Exodus 20:3; Thou shalt have no other gods before me. We have to be careful with our love toward the Lord. So it wont be as, what Peter told Simon; Acts 8:21; Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. “Want The Matter, But Don’t Have The Heart For It!” Teaching!

Luke 10:19; Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. “To Be An Authority Figure!” (A person who has or represents authority.) Acts 9:1; And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, v2; And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. (Example One!) We are living in a time where today’s church has become more worldly. Where there’re more permissiveness than having authority over. Genesis 3:4; And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: v5; For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (That’s permissiveness; 2 Thessalonians 2:7.) Acts 28:3; And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. v5; And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. (That’s authority over; Philippians 4:13.) “To Be An Authority Figure!” Acts 9:3; And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: v4; And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? v5; And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. v17; And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. (Example Two!) We are living in an church era of resistance or being subject too. Genesis 19:17; And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. v18; And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord. (That’s permissiveness; Galatians 1:6-7.) Acts 21:13; Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. (That’s authority over; Matthew 11:29-30, Romans 13:1.) “To Be An Authority Figure!” 2 Timothy 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. “To Be An Authority Figure!” Philippians 2:11; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. v13; For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. “To Be An Authority Figure!” Much more teaching on this, where that came from. Don’t you figure? Apostle

“Hearing The Word, But Not Getting The Reaction Of It!” Uzziah, he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. But there was a reservation: The high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places; (2 Kings 15:3,4 and 2 Chronicles 26:3,4). (Halfhearted; when it come to Hearing The Word, without enthusiasm or energy.) Matthew 6:24; No man can serve two masters. “Hearing The Word, But Not Getting The Reaction Of It!” 2 Chronicles 26:16; But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction. (Indifferent; when it come to the Word having no particular interest.) Galatians 6:3; For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. “Hearing The Word, But Not Getting The Reaction Of It!” 2 Chronicles 26:17-18; v18; And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests. (Non-committed; when it come to the Word having no sense of obligation.) v19; Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests. (Uzziah sums up the church of the Laodiceans.) Revelation 3:15; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. v16; So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. “The Reaction Of It!” 2 Timothy 1:12; For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. “Hearing The Word, But Not Getting The Reaction Of It!” Teaching!

Who Then Are All These Freaks Of Nature? Genesis 3:4; And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: v5; For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Who Then Are All These Freaks Of Nature? 1 Samuel 2:12; Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord. (They had no regard for the Lord.) v17; Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord. (They treated the offering of the Lord with contempt.) (Can you see self deviating from a standard.) Romans 1:28; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. Who Then Are All These Freaks Of Nature?” 2 Kings 6:1; And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. v2; Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. (Can you see self deviating from a standard. It’s not normal.) Galatians 1:6; I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: v7; Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Who Then Are All These Freaks Of Nature? Now that you know in the eyesight of God, what’s abnormal. Here is the normal. One God! Act 17:27; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: v28; For in him we live, and move, and have our being. Who Then Are All These Freaks Of Nature? Imposters I tell you imposters; 2 Timothy 3:5; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Apostle

“A Past That Enhances; an advocate for what you once persecuted!” John 1:17; For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 1 Corinthians 15:8; And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. v9; For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. v10; But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. “A Past That Enhances; an advocate for what you once persecuted!” Teaching!
