Supply The Word

Never Alone

Sometimes,oh Lord, when I cannot pray,

I sit very still with nothing to say.

But never-the-less, I know you are there;

I whisper your name 'cause I know you care.

You know that I'm troubled with things on my mind,

And you know I've been weak, so often unkind,

But your spirit is with me,

right here in this home;

And I know that I never am walking alone.

Matthew Chapter 28:1-20

1: In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2: And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3: His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5: And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6: He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7: And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8: And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9: And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10: Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11: Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12: And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

13: Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14: And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15: So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16: Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

17: And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

My Precious Jesus

Being forever yours
Whatever the day may bring

Feelings of joy or sorrow
Will not change the fact

That through the days, months, and years
You will never leave me

The power from knowing that
Is worth more than all the silver or gold

Some will never know
But my prayer is that all will be yours

Hebrews 13:1-8
1: Let brotherly love continue.
2: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
3: Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
4: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
5: Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6: So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
7: Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Be patient in all things. The will of God will be done and as children of God whatever goes on in our lives is only to bring us closer to the mark entering Heaven. Sometimes things seem to be to much but the Lord has told us that He will not put no more on us than we can bear, with His glorious help of course. All things of this world will pass away but the Word will endure for eternity. Stand up and praise the Lord our God.


Mathew 5:45:
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

1Corinthians 13:6-7
6: Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7: Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.


2 Timothy 4:3-4
3: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4: And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

They have really outdone themselves this time. Who you may ask?
Simcha Jacobovici, Director/Producer/Writer and James Cameron, producer, along with some others are saying that they have found Jesus Christ and his families ossuaries (limestone bone boxes}. These ossuaries served as coffins in first-century Jerusalem.

The following is from http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/tomb/about/about.html . You can read the full story there.
All leading epigraphers agree about the inscriptions. All archaeologists confirm the nature of the find. It comes down to a matter of statistics. A statistical study commissioned by the broadcasters (Discovery Channel/Vision Canada/C4 UK) concludes that the probability factor is 600 to 1 in favor of this tomb being the tomb of Jesus of Nazareth and his family.

The film also documents DNA extraction from human residue found in two of the ossuaries and reveals new evidence that throws light on Jesus' relationship with Mary Magdalene.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This is why I started out with 2 Timothy 4:3-4. Take a minute and read those verses again. Christ has told us that this would happen and there is still a lot more to come, I'm afraid to say.

The devil will do what ever it takes to put doubt in our minds or do anything to draw us away from Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Do not be swayed by their talk and so called proof. They have no proof. Just as scientists can not time date anything past thousands of years, as the scientists have stated themselves. Every time something is stated as being millions of years old someone did some assuming in there calculations. That is the only way that they can come up with a date. To add their own made up numbers into their calculations. There are assumptions put into there statistical evidence that is absolutely absurd. This involved multiplying the instances that each name appeared during that time period with the instances of every other name [like they have records of this}. Their research itself states that usually only 20% of ossuaries have inscriptions. So that would leave 80% of these ossuaries with nothing on them, no inscription, no name. Who knows what their names were or how many times, the names that they do not know, were used?

These people are out to make money along with trying to discredit the Christian faith. Do not let them cause you to waiver in any way the faith you have in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

All we need to know is in The Holy Bible, the living Word of God. Amen

1 Timothy 6:1-21
1: Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2: And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3: If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4: He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5: Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6: But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8: And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9: But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11: But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12: Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13: I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14: That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16: Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
17: Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18: That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19: Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20: O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen

Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

POOR
Sermon 25 BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
MAT 5:3.

This word poor has more than one meaning. LUK 21:2 says, "And he saw
also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites." This is
dealing
with money. This word poor comes from the base word peno in the Greek.
It means: "Necessitous; to toil for daily subsistence; [a working man];
straightened by circumstances in private." This is not talking of a
public beggar. It is talking of someone in the lower, poor class. This
is someone living at the poverty level, but who had the necessities of
life.

MAT 5:3 says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the
kingdom
of heaven." This word poor comes from the base word ptosso in the
Greek.
This word means: "a beggar; as crying; pauper; strictly denoting
absolute or public begging." These are two completely different words.

We must understand that when we are speaking of spiritual poverty, we
are speaking of the beggar class. When the Lord undresses His people of
all their own righteousness, they learn to see their spiritual
nakedness. They can add nothing. They have nothing to offer. They are
public beggars. All their righteousness becomes filthy rags, and they
have absolutely nothing to offer from self. Spiritually, they are so
totally poverty stricken that they are public beggars.

Those who are declared as blessed in our text become beggars at the
throne of grace.

Jesus opened His mouth with kingly authority, "saying, Blessed are the
poor in spirit...." It is so blessed that He could say that with such
authority. He was saying that those who are empty in themselves are
blessed. Those who have been made to cry as the blind man, saying,
"Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me," LUK 18:38.

They have nothing to offer within themselves because they have been
brought to be public beggars. They have only one plea to make, and that
is the Publican's prayer, who "standing afar off, would not lift up so
much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me a sinner," LUK 18:13.

The Lord makes spiritual beggars out of His people by showing them
their
miserable condition outside of Christ. In JER 31:9-10 we read, "They
shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them...."
The Lord takes away all the dross. He takes away everything that we can
build in ourselves. This is showing the spiritual poverty. These people
have nothing to offer within themselves. "...I will cause them to walk
by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not
stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear
the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar
off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him,
as
a shepherd doth his flock."

This verse shows how the Lord will work in the heart of His people.
They
will come weeping over their sins, and He will lead them with
supplication begging for mercy.

Verse 11 says, "For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from
the hand of him that was stronger than he." We are all under the
captivity and power of Satan. We are all under the captivity of sin and
our own hard heart. This verse means that the Lord has redeemed Jacob
with the price of His blood. The Lord brings them to spiritual poverty
to understand their need of redemption.

The Lord's people will weep over the bitterness of their sins against
such redeeming love! ZEC 12:10 says, "And I will pour upon the house of
David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and
of
supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and
they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall
be
in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
When the Lord does pour upon His people the Spirit of grace and
supplication, they see their spiritual poverty. Then they understand
that it was their sins that pierced their lovely Lord!

The Lord said, "...they shall look upon me whom they have pierced...."
If you understand your sins, then you never have hard feelings toward
the person who hung Christ on the cross. ISA 49:16 says, "Behold, I
have
graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually
before
me." Then we can see that our sins have engraven those scars in the
palms of His hands. We look upon Him whom we have pierced with our
sins.

Oh, beloved, a faith's view of our Saviour in His bloody sweat, of His
pierced hands and side to redeem us from our sin, works humility in our
hearts. In our spiritual poverty, we have nothing but praise and
thanksgiving to offer.

When we look on Him whom we have pierced, we shall mourn for Him. The
Lord said, "...they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only
son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness
for his firstborn." We see the bitterness of sin. We see that it was
our
sins that pierced Him and hung Him on the cross. When we see the
sinfulness of sin, we become true haters of all sin.

We can see that the only hope we have of standing righteous before our
Heavenly Father is in that blessed Atonement and perfect obedience of
Christ being imputed to us. Then we see we have nothing to offer within
ourselves.

MIC 6:8 says, "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth
the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with thy God?" This humility is the fruit of Christ's
righteousness being imparted in us. Breaking down the power of
rebellion
and pride is the first step in the work of grace. Amen.

How blessed are they who truly see
Their emptiness and poverty;
Whose souls are humbled in the dust,
And who in Jesus only trust!

Glad they renounce their former pride,
And wholly in His name confide;
Only in Him they make their boast,
Who came to seek and save the lost.
Gadsby selection, 1838

Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Even though the International Day of Prayer for the persecuted church's is past let us not forget to continue to pray for them each day in our prayers. Jesus Christ is the only one that can save them and protect them from evil in the world that they live in.

Take a minute and go to http://www.persecution.com/ and sign up. You will receive a weekly e-mail update and a monthly news letter to help keep you informed.

There are days that I will be discouraged by something trivial then I will think of the people around the world that do not have the freedom to worship Jesus Christ as we do. If you are new to Christ or new to a church talk to your pastor about this and get your church involved in praying for these persecuted church's around the world, if they are not doing so already.

As children of God we have a responsibility to pray for all His children where ever they might be. Pray for the leaders of those countries that persecute Christians that they may be touched by our Lord and Saviour that Christ will unharden their hearts to the Christians and those leaders will discontinue in their persecution of them.

Pray that Muslims and Christians may live together freely and without violence in peace and harmony. Matthew 5:43: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46: For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47: And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Do not take your prayers lightly. God hears them all.

Romans 8:1-39
1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7: Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10: And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11: But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12: Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13: For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16: The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18: For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19: For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20: For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21: Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22: For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23: And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24: For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25: But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27: And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29: 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.
30: Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31: What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32: He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33: Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34: Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36: As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39: Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
