A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children June 23rd...

Boasting is necessary. It is not profitable, but I will move on to visions and revelations of the Lord.
I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven 14 years ago.
Whether he was in the body or out of the body, I don’t know, God knows.
I know that this man — whether in the body or out of the body I don’t know, God knows — was caught up into paradise.
He heard inexpressible words, which a man is not allowed to speak.
I will boast about this person, but not about myself, except of my weaknesses.
For if I want to boast, I will not be a fool, because I will be telling the truth.
But I will spare you, so that no one can credit me with something beyond what he sees in me or hears from me, especially because of the extraordinary revelations.
Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so I would not exalt myself.
Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from me.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.

So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, catastrophes, persecutions, and in pressures, because of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
I have become a fool; you forced it on me.
I should have been endorsed by you, since I am not in any way inferior to the “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.
The signs of an apostle were performed with great endurance among you — not only signs but also wonders and miracles.
So in what way were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I personally did not burden you?
Forgive me this wrong!
Now I am ready to come to you this third time. I will not burden you, for I am not seeking what is yours, but you.
For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
I will most gladly spend and be spent for you.
If I love you more, am I to be loved less?
Now granted, I have not burdened you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit!
Did I take advantage of you by anyone I sent you?
I urged Titus to come, and I sent the brother with him.
Did Titus take advantage of you?
Didn’t we walk in the same spirit and in the same footsteps?
You have thought all along that we were defending ourselves to you.
No, in the sight of God we are speaking in Christ, and everything, dear friends, is for building you up.
For I fear that perhaps when I come I will not find you to be what I want, and I may not be found by you to be what you want; there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.
I fear that when I come my God will again humiliate me in your presence, and I will grieve for many who sinned before and have not repented of the moral impurity, sexual immorality, and promiscuity they practiced.
2 Corinthians 12:1-21 HCSB

Aim to hit the marks of a Godly father

A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children June 22nd...

Look at how great a love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children.
And we are!

The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know Him.
Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed.
We know that when He appears, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is.
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure.
Everyone who commits sin also breaks the law; sin is the breaking of law.
You know that He was revealed so that He might take away sins, and there is no sin in Him.
Everyone who remains in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him.
Little children, let no one deceive you!
The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous.
The one who commits sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning.
The Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the Devil’s works.
Everyone who has been born of God does not sin, because His seed remains in him; he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.
This is how God’s children — and the Devil’s children — are made evident.
Whoever does not do what is right is not of God, especially the one who does not love his brother.
For this is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another, unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother.
And why did he murder him?
Because his works were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
Do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers.
The one who does not love remains in death.
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us.
We should also lay down our lives for our brothers.
If anyone has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need but closes his eyes to his need — how can God’s love reside in him?
Little children, we must not love with word or speech, but with truth and action.
This is how we will know we belong to the truth and will convince our conscience in His presence, even if our conscience condemns us, that God is greater than our conscience, and He knows all things.
Dear friends, if our conscience doesn’t condemn us, we have confidence before God and can receive whatever we ask from Him because we keep His commands and do what is pleasing in His sight.
Now this is His command: that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as He commanded us.
The one who keeps His commands remains in Him, and He in him.
And the way we know that He remains in us is from the Spirit He has given us.
1 John 3:1-24 HCSB

“I know, perhaps as well as anyone, what depression means, and what it is to feel myself sinking lower and lower. Yet at the worst, when I reach the lowest depths, I have an inward peace which no pain or depression can in the least disturb. Trusting in Jesus Christ my Savior, there is still a blessed quietness in the deep caverns of my soul.” —Charles Spurgeon

A Reading for Worship and our message today June 21st at the Christian Harvest Church of the Way...

My soul, praise Yahweh, and all that is within me, praise His holy name.
My soul, praise the Lord, and do not forget all His benefits.
He forgives all your sin; He heals all your diseases.
He redeems your life from the Pit; He crowns you with faithful love and compassion.
He satisfies you with goodness; your youth is renewed like the eagle.
The Lord executes acts of righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
He revealed His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and rich in faithful love.
He will not always accuse us or be angry forever.
He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our offenses.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His faithful love toward those who fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

For He knows what we are made of, remembering that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass — he blooms like a flower of the field; when the wind passes over it, it vanishes, and its place is no longer known.
But from eternity to eternity the Lord’s faithful love is toward those who fear Him, and His righteousness toward the grandchildren of those who keep His covenant, who remember to observe His precepts.
The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
Praise the Lord, all His angels of great strength, who do His word, obedient to His command.
Praise the Lord, all His armies, His servants who do His will.
Praise the Lord, all His works in all the places where He rules.
My soul, praise Yahweh!
Psalms 103:1-22 HCSB

A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children this Sabbath Day June 20th...

In those days, there was no king in Israel, and the Danite tribe was looking for territory to occupy.
Up to that time no territory had been captured by them among the tribes of Israel.
So the Danites sent out five brave men from all their clans, from Zorah and Eshtaol, to scout out the land and explore it.
They told them, “Go and explore the land.”
They came to the hill country of Ephraim as far as the home of Micah and spent the night there.
While they were near Micah’s home, they recognized the speech of the young Levite.
So they went over to him and asked, “Who brought you here?
What are you doing in this place?
What is keeping you here?”
He told them what Micah had done for him and that he had hired him as his priest.
Then they said to him, “Please inquire of God so we will know if we will have a successful journey.”

The priest told them, “Go in peace.
The Lord is watching over the journey you are going on.”

The five men left and came to Laish.
They saw that the people who were there were living securely, in the same way as the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting.
There was nothing lacking in the land and no oppressive ruler.
They were far from the Sidonians, having no alliance with anyone.
When the men went back to their clans at Zorah and Eshtaol, their people asked them, “What did you find out? ”
They answered, “Come on, let’s go up against them, for we have seen the land, and it is very good.
Why wait?
Don’t hesitate to go and invade and take possession of the land!
When you get there, you will come to an unsuspecting people and a spacious land, for God has handed it over to you.
It is a place where nothing on earth is lacking.”
Six hundred Danites departed from Zorah and Eshtaol armed with weapons of war.
They went up and camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah.
This is why the place is called the Camp of Dan to this day; it is west of Kiriath-jearim.
From there they traveled to the hill country of Ephraim and arrived at Micah’s house.
The five men who had gone to scout out the land of Laish told their brothers, “Did you know that there are an ephod, household gods, and a carved image overlaid with silver in these houses?
Now think about what you should do.”
So they detoured there and went to the house of the young Levite at the home of Micah and greeted him.
The 600 Danite men were standing by the entrance of the gate, armed with their weapons of war.
Then the five men who had gone to scout out the land went in and took the carved image overlaid with silver, the ephod, and the household idols, while the priest was standing by the entrance of the gate with the 600 men armed with weapons of war.
When they entered Micah’s house and took the carved image overlaid with silver, the ephod, and the household idols, the priest said to them, “What are you doing? ”
They told him, “Be quiet.
Keep your mouth shut.
Come with us and be a father and a priest to us.
Is it better for you to be a priest for the house of one person or for you to be a priest for a tribe and family in Israel? ”
So the priest was pleased and took his ephod, household idols, and carved image, and went with the people.
They prepared to leave, putting their small children, livestock, and possessions in front of them.
After they were some distance from Micah’s house, the men who were in the houses near it mobilized and caught up with the Danites.
They called to the Danites, who turned to face them, and said to Micah, “What’s the matter with you that you mobilized the men? ”
He said, “You took the gods I had made and the priest, and went away. What do I have left? How can you say to me, ‘What’s the matter with you? ’ ”
The Danites said to him, “Don’t raise your voice against us, or angry men will attack you, and you and your family will lose your lives.”
The Danites went on their way, and Micah turned to go back home, because he saw that they were stronger than he was.
After they had taken the gods Micah had made and the priest that belonged to him, they went to Laish, to a quiet and unsuspecting people.
They killed them with their swords and burned down the city.
There was no one to rescue them because it was far from Sidon and they had no alliance with anyone.
It was in a valley that belonged to Beth-rehob. They rebuilt the city and lived in it.
They named the city Dan, after the name of their ancestor Dan, who was born to Israel. The city was formerly named Laish.
The Danites set up the carved image for themselves.
Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the Danite tribe until the time of the exile from the land.
So they set up for themselves Micah’s carved image that he had made, and it was there as long as the house of God was in Shiloh.
Judges 18:1-31 HCSB

A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children June 19th...

When Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard He was making and baptizing more disciples than John (though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), He left Judea and went again to Galilee.
He had to travel through Samaria, so He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph.
Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, worn out from His journey, sat down at the well.
It was about six in the evening.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. “Give Me a drink,” Jesus said to her, for His disciples had gone into town to buy food.
“How is it that You, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman? ” she asked Him.
For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.
Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would ask Him, and He would give you living water.”
“Sir,” said the woman, “You don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep.
So where do You get this ‘living water’?
You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are You?
He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock.”
Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again.
But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again — ever!
In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up within him for eternal life.”
“Sir,” the woman said to Him, “give me this water so I won’t get thirsty and come here to draw water.”
“Go call your husband,” He told her, “and come back here.”
“I don’t have a husband,” she answered.
“You have correctly said, ‘I don’t have a husband,’ ” Jesus said.
“For you’ve had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.
What you have said is true.”
“Sir,” the woman replied, “I see that You are a prophet.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, yet you Jews say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.”
Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
You Samaritans worship what you do not know.
We worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews.
But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.
Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him.

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ ). “When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
“I am He,” Jesus told her, “the One speaking to you.”
Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman.
Yet no one said, “What do You want? ” or “Why are You talking with her?”
Then the woman left her water jar, went into town, and told the men, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did!
Could this be the Messiah? ”
They left the town and made their way to Him.
In the meantime the disciples kept urging Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
But He said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat? ”
“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work,” Jesus told them.
“Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, then comes the harvest’?
Listen to what I’m telling you: Open your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ready for harvest.
The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life, so the sower and reaper can rejoice together.
For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’
I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor.”
Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”
Therefore, when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days.
Many more believed because of what He said.
And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.”
After two days He left there for Galilee.
Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
When they entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him because they had seen everything He did in Jerusalem during the festival.
For they also had gone to the festival.
Then He went again to Cana of Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine.
There was a certain royal official whose son was ill at Capernaum.
When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and pleaded with Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
“Sir,” the official said to Him, “come down before my boy dies! ”
“Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.”
The man believed what Jesus said to him and departed.
While he was still going down, his slaves met him saying that his boy was alive.
He asked them at what time he got better. “Yesterday at seven in the morning the fever left him,” they answered.
The father realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.”
Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.
This, therefore, was the second sign Jesus performed after He came from Judea to Galilee.
John 4:1-54 HCSB

A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children June 18th...

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper.
Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes, and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.

“I am the vine; you are the branches.
The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me.

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers.
They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.
My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be My disciples.
“As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Remain in My love.
If you keep My commands you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands and remain in His love.
“I have spoken these things to you so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
This is My command: Love one another as I have loved you.
No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.
You are My friends if you do what I command you.
I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave doesn’t know what his master is doing.
I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from My Father.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you.
I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
This is what I command you: Love one another.
“If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me before it hated you.
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own.
However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.
Remember the word I spoke to you: ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’
If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.
If they kept My word, they will also keep yours.
But they will do all these things to you on account of My name, because they don’t know the One who sent Me.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin.
Now they have no excuse for their sin.
The one who hates Me also hates My Father.
If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin.
Now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.
But this happened so that the statement written in their scripture might be fulfilled: They hated Me for no reason.
“When the Counselor comes, the One I will send to you from the Father — the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father — He will testify about Me.
You also will testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
