Hi, and welcome to
HIS WORDS ARE LIFE.
00:00:16.42\00:00:19.35
I'm Kelly Mowrer,
and I'll be reading today
00:00:19.38\00:00:21.60
from the King James
version of the Bible.
00:00:21.63\00:00:23.55
You know, Peter writes that the
grass of the field will wither,
00:00:23.58\00:00:27.75
and fade away, but the
word of the Lord stands forever.
00:00:27.78\00:00:31.37
Before we go and read the Word
today let's go to him in prayer.
00:00:31.40\00:00:35.66
Dear God, thank you so
much for these wonderful words
00:00:35.69\00:00:40.81
that will stand forever
and the promise that is sure,
00:00:40.84\00:00:45.10
in the word that is true.
May this word be not just heard;
00:00:45.13\00:00:49.81
by us; but may it take
root in our heart and bear fruit
00:00:49.84\00:00:52.66
that we may give honor and glory
to your name; for we love you
00:00:52.69\00:00:56.18
and we pray in the
name of Jesus. Amen.
00:00:56.21\00:00:58.54
I'll be reading today from the
book of Matthew, chapter seven,
00:00:58.57\00:01:03.63
the King James Version, and
beginning in verse nineteen.
00:01:03.66\00:01:07.03
Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down,
00:01:07.06\00:01:12.41
and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits
00:01:12.44\00:01:16.76
ye shall know them. Not
every one that saith unto me,
00:01:16.79\00:01:20.49
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that
00:01:20.52\00:01:24.93
doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
00:01:24.96\00:01:27.60
Many will say unto me in that
day, Lord, Lord, have we not
00:01:27.63\00:01:31.60
prophesied in thy name? and in
thy name have cast out devils?
00:01:31.63\00:01:35.40
and in thy name done
many wonderful works?
00:01:35.43\00:01:38.35
And then will I profess
unto them, I never knew you:
00:01:38.38\00:01:42.79
Depart from me, ye that work
iniquity. Therefore whosoever
00:01:42.82\00:01:48.18
heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them, I will liken him
00:01:48.21\00:01:52.63
unto a wise man, which
built his house upon a rock:
00:01:52.66\00:01:56.27
and the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew,
00:01:56.30\00:02:00.19
and beat upon that house and
it fell not: for it was founded
00:02:00.22\00:02:04.53
upon a rock. And every one that
heareth these sayings of mine,
00:02:04.56\00:02:08.84
and doeth them not, shall
be likened unto a foolish man,
00:02:08.87\00:02:13.53
which built his house upon
the sand: and the rain descended
00:02:13.56\00:02:17.92
and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that
00:02:17.95\00:02:21.26
house and it fell: and
great was the fall of it.
00:02:21.29\00:02:25.33
And it came to pass, when
Jesus had ended these sayings,
00:02:25.36\00:02:29.49
the people were astonished at
his doctrine: For he taught them
00:02:29.52\00:02:33.56
as one having authority,
and not as the scribes.
00:02:33.59\00:02:37.92
Matthew, Chapter 8.
When he was come down
00:02:37.95\00:02:42.82
from the mountain,
great multitudes followed him.
00:02:42.85\00:02:45.51
And behold, there came a leper
and worshipped him, saying,
00:02:45.54\00:02:49.43
Lord, if thou wilt,
thou canst make me clean.
00:02:49.46\00:02:52.73
And Jesus put forth his hand,
and touched him, saying, I will;
00:02:52.76\00:02:56.98
be thou clean. And immediately
his leprosy was cleansed.
00:02:57.01\00:03:01.11
And Jesus saith unto him, See
thou tell no man; but go thy way
00:03:01.14\00:03:07.11
show thyself to the priest,
and offer the gift that Moses
00:03:07.14\00:03:10.10
commanded, for a testimony unto
them. And when Jesus was entered
00:03:10.13\00:03:14.54
into Capernaum, there came unto
him a centurion, beseeching him,
00:03:14.57\00:03:19.21
and saying, Lord, my servant
lieth at home sick of the palsy,
00:03:19.24\00:03:23.54
grievously tormented. And Jesus
saith unto him, I will come
00:03:23.57\00:03:28.09
and heal him. The centurion
answered and said, Lord,
00:03:28.12\00:03:32.62
I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof;
00:03:32.65\00:03:36.52
but speak the word only,
and my servant shall be healed.
00:03:36.55\00:03:40.47
For I am a man under authority,
having soldiers under me:
00:03:40.50\00:03:43.75
and I say to his man, Go, and
he goeth; and to another, Come,
00:03:43.78\00:03:48.10
and he cometh; and to my
servant, Do this, and he doeth
00:03:48.13\00:03:51.14
it. When Jesus heard it,
he marveled, and said to them
00:03:51.17\00:03:56.22
that followed, Verily I say unto
you, I have not found so great
00:03:56.25\00:04:01.03
faith, no, not in Israel. And
I say unto you, That many shall
00:04:01.06\00:04:06.14
come from the east and west,
and shall sit down with Abraham,
00:04:06.17\00:04:09.89
and Isaac, and Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven.
00:04:09.92\00:04:12.79
But the children of the kingdom
shall be cast out into outer
00:04:12.82\00:04:16.97
darkness: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
00:04:17.00\00:04:20.83
And Jesus said unto
the centurian, Go thy way;
00:04:20.86\00:04:25.42
and as thou hast believed,
so be it done unto thee.
00:04:25.45\00:04:30.84
And his servant was
healed in the selfsame hour.
00:04:30.87\00:04:35.64
And when Jesus was come into
Peter's house, he saw his wife's
00:04:35.67\00:04:40.07
mother laid, and sick of a
fever. And he touched her hand,
00:04:40.10\00:04:43.80
and the fever left her: and she
arose and ministered unto them.
00:04:43.83\00:04:47.02
When the even was come, they
brought unto him many that were
00:04:47.05\00:04:51.86
possessed with devils:
and he cast out the spirits
00:04:51.89\00:04:55.14
with his word, and
healed all that were sick:
00:04:55.17\00:04:58.19
that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Esaias the prophet
00:04:58.22\00:05:02.56
saying, Himself took our
infirmities, and bare our
00:05:02.59\00:05:07.25
sicknesses. Now when Jesus
saw great multitudes about him,
00:05:07.28\00:05:11.52
he gave commandment to
depart unto the other side.
00:05:11.55\00:05:14.94
And a certain scribe came
and said unto him, Master,
00:05:14.97\00:05:18.94
I will follow thee whithersoever
thou goest. And Jesus saith
00:05:18.97\00:05:24.80
unto him, The foxes have
holes, and the birds of the air
00:05:24.83\00:05:29.65
have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head.
00:05:29.68\00:05:34.28
And another of his
disciples said unto him,
00:05:34.31\00:05:37.56
Lord, suffer me first
to go and bury my father.
00:05:37.59\00:05:40.97
But Jesus said
unto him, Follow me;
00:05:41.00\00:05:45.05
and let the
dead bury their dead.
00:05:45.08\00:05:48.06
And when he was entered into a
ship his disciples followed him.
00:05:48.09\00:05:52.27
And behold there arose a great
tempest in the sea, insomuch
00:05:52.30\00:05:57.42
that the ship was covered with
the waves: but he was asleep.
00:05:57.45\00:06:01.21
And his disciples came to him,
and awoke him, saying, Lord,
00:06:01.24\00:06:04.89
save us: we perish. And he saith
unto them, Why are ye fearful,
00:06:04.92\00:06:10.33
O ye of little faith? Then
he arose, and rebuked the winds
00:06:10.36\00:06:15.39
and the sea; and
there was a great calm.
00:06:15.42\00:06:18.57
But the men marveled, saying,
What manner of man is this,
00:06:18.60\00:06:23.57
that even the winds
and the sea obey him!
00:06:23.60\00:06:26.81
And when he was come to
the other side into the country
00:06:26.84\00:06:32.37
of the Gergesenes, there met
him two possessed with devils,
00:06:32.40\00:06:37.20
coming out of the tombs,
exceeding fierce, so that no man
00:06:37.23\00:06:41.55
might pass by that way. And,
behold, they cried out, saying,
00:06:41.58\00:06:45.99
What have we to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of God?
00:06:46.02\00:06:49.76
Art thou come hither to
torment us before the time?
00:06:49.79\00:06:53.40
And there was a good way off
from them an herd of many swine
00:06:53.43\00:06:58.15
feeding. So the devils besought
him, saying, If thou cast us out
00:06:58.18\00:07:03.35
suffer us to go away
into the herd of swine.
00:07:03.38\00:07:06.23
And he said unto them, Go.
And when they were come out,
00:07:06.26\00:07:11.51
they went into the herd of swine
and, behold, the whole herd
00:07:11.54\00:07:15.67
of swine ran violently
down a steep place into the sea,
00:07:15.70\00:07:20.09
and perished in the waters.
And they that kept them fled,
00:07:20.12\00:07:24.98
and went their ways into
the city, and told every thing,
00:07:25.01\00:07:28.72
and what was befallen to
the possessed of the devils.
00:07:28.75\00:07:31.85
And, behold, the whole
city came out to meet Jesus:
00:07:31.88\00:07:35.20
and when they saw
him, they besought him,
00:07:35.23\00:07:38.24
that he would
depart out of their coasts.
00:07:38.27\00:07:40.46
I'm reading in the book
of Matthew, chapter nine.
00:07:40.49\00:07:43.75
And he entered into a
ship, and passed over,
00:07:43.78\00:07:47.85
and came into his own city.
And, behold, they brought to him
00:07:47.88\00:07:52.17
a man sick of the palsy,
lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing
00:07:52.20\00:07:58.50
their faith said unto
the sick of the palsy;
00:07:58.53\00:08:01.48
Son, be of good cheer;
thy sins be forgiven thee.
00:08:01.51\00:08:05.67
And, behold, certain of the
scribes said within themselves,
00:08:05.70\00:08:11.06
This man blasphemeth. And Jesus
knowing their thoughts said,
00:08:11.09\00:08:16.72
Wherefore think ye evil in your
hearts? For whether is easier,
00:08:16.75\00:08:22.13
to say, Thy sins be forgiven
thee; or to say, Arise and walk?
00:08:22.16\00:08:28.25
But that ye may know that the
Son of man hath power on earth
00:08:28.28\00:08:34.06
to forgive sins, - then saith
he to the sick of the palsy, -
00:08:34.09\00:08:38.47
Arise, take up thy bed, and go
unto thine house. And he arose,
00:08:38.50\00:08:45.15
and departed to his house.
But when the multitudes saw it,
00:08:45.18\00:08:49.68
they marveled, and glorified
God, which had given such power
00:08:49.71\00:08:53.98
unto men. And as Jesus passed
forth from thence, he saw a man,
00:08:54.01\00:08:59.11
named Matthew, sitting
at the receipt of custom:
00:08:59.14\00:09:02.25
and he saith unto him
Follow me. And he arose
00:09:02.28\00:09:06.08
and followed him. And it came
to pass, as Jesus sat at meat
00:09:06.11\00:09:10.27
in the house, behold,
many publicans and sinners came
00:09:10.30\00:09:14.78
and sat down with
him and his disciples.
00:09:14.81\00:09:17.04
And when the Pharisees saw
it, they said unto his disciples
00:09:17.07\00:09:20.66
Why eateth your Master
with publicans and sinners?
00:09:20.69\00:09:24.47
But when Jesus heard
that, he said unto them,
00:09:24.50\00:09:27.70
They that be whole
need not a physician,
00:09:27.73\00:09:32.23
but they that are sick. But go
ye and learn what that meaneth,
00:09:32.26\00:09:38.99
I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice: for I am not come
00:09:39.02\00:09:42.92
to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
00:09:42.95\00:09:46.39
Then came to him the
disciples of John, saying,
00:09:46.42\00:09:50.63
Why do we and the Pharisees fast
oft, but thy disciples fast not?
00:09:50.66\00:09:56.60
And Jesus said unto them, Can
the children of the bridechamber
00:09:56.63\00:10:00.67
mourn, as long as the
bridegroom us with them?
00:10:00.70\00:10:03.68
but the days will come, when
the bridegroom shall be taken
00:10:03.71\00:10:07.17
from them, and then shall they
fast. No man putteth a piece of
00:10:07.20\00:10:14.19
new cloth unto an old garment,
for that which is put in
00:10:14.22\00:10:18.01
to fill it up taketh from
the garment, and the rent is
00:10:18.04\00:10:21.01
made worse. Neither do men put
new wine into new bottles: else
00:10:21.04\00:10:25.86
the bottles break,
and the wine runneth out,
00:10:25.89\00:10:27.69
and the bottles perish: but they
put new wine into new bottles,
00:10:27.72\00:10:31.38
and both are preserved. While
he spake these things unto them,
00:10:31.41\00:10:35.84
behold, there came a certain
ruler, and worshipped him,
00:10:35.87\00:10:38.95
saying, My daughter is even now
dead: but come and lay thy hand
00:10:38.98\00:10:44.23
upon her, and she shall live.
And Jesus arose, and followed
00:10:44.26\00:10:48.54
him, and so did his
disciples. And, behold, a woman,
00:10:48.57\00:10:52.73
which was diseased with and
issue of blood twelve years,
00:10:52.76\00:10:56.54
came behind him and
touched the hem of his garment.
00:10:56.57\00:11:00.75
For she said within herself,
If I may but touch his garment,
00:11:00.78\00:11:04.96
I shall be whole. But
Jesus turned him about,
00:11:04.99\00:11:09.21
and when he saw her, he said,
Daughter, be of good comfort;
00:11:09.24\00:11:13.26
thy faith hath made thee whole.
And the woman was made whole
00:11:13.29\00:11:17.56
from that hour. And when Jesus
came into the ruler's house,
00:11:17.59\00:11:22.02
and saw the minstrels and
the people making a noise,
00:11:22.05\00:11:25.07
he said unto them, Give
place: for the maid is not dead,
00:11:25.10\00:11:28.67
but sleepeth. And
they laughed him to scorn.
00:11:28.70\00:11:31.88
But when the people
were put forth, he went in,
00:11:31.91\00:11:35.11
and took her by the hand,
and the maid arose. And the fame
00:11:35.14\00:11:39.59
hereof went abroad into all that
land. And when Jesus departed
00:11:39.62\00:11:44.54
thence, two blind men followed
him, crying, and saying,
00:11:44.57\00:11:47.79
Thou Son of David, have mercy
on us. And when he was come into
00:11:47.82\00:11:51.93
the house, the
blind men came to him:
00:11:51.96\00:11:53.75
and Jesus saith unto
them, Believe ye that I am able
00:11:53.78\00:11:58.18
to do this? They said unto
him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he
00:11:58.21\00:12:03.46
their eyes, saying, According
to your faith be it unto you.
00:12:03.49\00:12:07.82
And their eyes were opened;
and Jesus straitly charged them,
00:12:07.85\00:12:12.57
saying, See that no man know
it. But they, when they were
00:12:12.60\00:12:16.48
departed, spread abroad
his fame in all that country.
00:12:16.51\00:12:19.88
As they went out, behold,
they brought to him a dumb man
00:12:19.91\00:12:24.27
possessed with a devil. And
when the devil was cast out,
00:12:24.30\00:12:28.26
the dumb spake: and
the multitudes marveled,
00:12:28.29\00:12:31.30
saying, It was never so seen in
Israel. But the Pharisees said,
00:12:31.33\00:12:36.88
He casteth out devils through
the prince of the devils.
00:12:36.91\00:12:40.97
And Jesus went about all the
cities and villages, teaching
00:12:41.00\00:12:44.93
in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the
00:12:44.96\00:12:47.45
kingdom, and healing
every sickness and every disease
00:12:47.48\00:12:50.40
among the people, But when he
saw the multitudes, he was moved
00:12:50.43\00:12:55.30
with compassion on them, because
they fainted, and were scattered
00:12:55.33\00:12:58.89
abroad, as sheep having no
shepherd. Then saith he unto
00:12:58.92\00:13:03.00
his disciples, The harvest truly
is plenteous, but the labourers
00:13:03.03\00:13:08.07
are few; Pray ye therefore
the Lord of the harvest,
00:13:08.10\00:13:11.75
that he will send forth
labourers into his harvest.
00:13:11.78\00:13:15.49
I'm reading from the
book of Matthew, chapter 10.
00:13:15.52\00:13:18.51
And when he had called
unto him his twelve disciples,
00:13:18.54\00:13:22.41
he gave them power
against unclean spirits,
00:13:22.44\00:13:25.43
to cast them out, and to
heal all manner of sickness
00:13:25.46\00:13:28.62
and all manner of disease.
Now the names of the 12 apostles
00:13:28.65\00:13:32.40
are these; The first, Simon,
who is called Peter, and Andrew
00:13:32.43\00:13:37.25
his brother; James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother;
00:13:37.28\00:13:41.96
Philip, and
Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew
00:13:41.99\00:13:46.59
the publican, James the
son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus,
00:13:46.62\00:13:50.50
whose surname was Thaddaeus;
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas
00:13:50.53\00:13:54.90
Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent forth,
00:13:54.93\00:13:59.83
and commanded them, saying,
Go not into the way of the
00:13:59.86\00:14:03.65
Gentiles, and into any city
of the Samaritans enter ye not.
00:14:03.68\00:14:07.43
But go rather to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel
00:14:07.46\00:14:11.46
And as ye go, preach, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is at hand
00:14:11.49\00:14:16.53
Heal the sick, cleanse
the lepers, raise the dead,
00:14:16.56\00:14:20.39
cast out devils: freely ye
have received, freely give.
00:14:20.42\00:14:25.91
