Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.02\00:00:18.29
I'm Kelly Mowrer and
I'll be reading today
00:00:18.32\00:00:20.70
from the King James Version,
sometimes, we talk about the
00:00:20.73\00:00:25.46
word and hearing the word of the
Lord and letting it take root
00:00:25.49\00:00:28.09
in our hearts, and today, Jesus
tells what the person is like
00:00:28.12\00:00:32.39
who actually does hear
the word, and do the word.
00:00:32.42\00:00:34.84
We're going to read that coming
up here but before we begin
00:00:34.87\00:00:37.68
to read let's go to God in
prayer. - Dear Heavenly Father,
00:00:37.71\00:00:41.46
thank you so
much for the blessings
00:00:41.49\00:00:43.54
that you have given to us,
for bringing us safely to this
00:00:43.57\00:00:46.88
point where we can come into
your presence and read your word
00:00:46.91\00:00:49.83
and we want to be not
just hearers of the word,
00:00:49.86\00:00:53.46
but doers of the word. We want
to be the wise man who builds
00:00:53.49\00:00:56.89
his house on the rock, the
solid rock of your word of life.
00:00:56.92\00:01:00.69
Be with us now and thank
you again. We love you. Amen
00:01:00.72\00:01:04.81
I'm reading today from the book
of Luke, starting in chapter 6
00:01:04.84\00:01:10.01
and verse 45. A good man out of
the good treasure of his heart,
00:01:10.04\00:01:17.73
bringeth forth
that which is good.
00:01:17.76\00:01:19.93
And an evil man out of the
evil treasure of his heart,
00:01:19.96\00:01:24.28
bringeth forth that which
is evil. For the abundance of
00:01:24.31\00:01:28.39
the heart his mouth speaketh.
And why call ye me Lord, Lord,
00:01:28.42\00:01:33.69
and do not the things which
I say? Whosoever cometh to me
00:01:33.72\00:01:39.19
and heareth my sayings, and
doeth them, I will shew you to
00:01:39.22\00:01:43.82
whom he is like: He like a man
which built an house, and digged
00:01:43.85\00:01:47.38
deep and laid the foundation on
a rock: and when the flood arose
00:01:47.41\00:01:51.74
the stream beat vehemently upon
that house and could not shake
00:01:51.77\00:01:55.82
it, for it was founded upon
a rock. But he that heareth,
00:01:55.85\00:02:00.16
and doeth not, is like a
man that without a foundation
00:02:00.19\00:02:03.98
built an house upon the
earth: against which the stream
00:02:04.01\00:02:08.54
did beat vehemently,
and immediately it fell;
00:02:08.57\00:02:11.85
and the ruin of
that house was great.
00:02:11.88\00:02:14.72
Again, I'm reading
from the gospel of Luke,
00:02:14.75\00:02:17.58
and we're now on chapter
7. Now when he had ended all
00:02:17.61\00:02:22.00
his sayings in the audience
of the people, he entered into
00:02:22.03\00:02:25.50
Capernaum. And a
certain centurion's servant,
00:02:25.53\00:02:28.31
who was dear unto him,
was sick, and ready to die.
00:02:28.34\00:02:31.82
And when he heard of Jesus,
he sent unto him the elders
00:02:31.85\00:02:35.91
of the Jews, beseeching
him that he would come and heal
00:02:35.94\00:02:39.19
his servant. And when they
came to Jesus, they besought him
00:02:39.22\00:02:43.12
instantly,
saying, That he was worthy
00:02:43.15\00:02:45.55
for whom he should do
this: For he loveth our nation,
00:02:45.58\00:02:47.94
and he hath
built us a synagogue.
00:02:47.97\00:02:49.12
Then Jesus went with them.
And when he was now not far
00:02:49.15\00:02:54.55
from the house, the centurion
sent friends to him, saying unto
00:02:54.58\00:02:58.35
him, Lord, trouble not thyself:
for I am not worthy that thou
00:02:58.38\00:03:03.26
shouldest enter under my roof:
Wherefore neither thought I
00:03:03.29\00:03:06.59
myself worthy to come unto thee:
but say in a word and my servant
00:03:06.62\00:03:10.92
shall be healed. For I also
am a man set under authority,
00:03:10.95\00:03:14.85
having under me soldiers, and I
say unto one, Go, and he Goethe;
00:03:14.88\00:03:18.75
and to another, come, and
he cometh; and to my servant,
00:03:18.78\00:03:22.84
Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard these things,
00:03:22.87\00:03:26.79
he marvelled at him,
and turned him about,
00:03:26.82\00:03:29.96
and said unto the
people that followed him,
00:03:29.99\00:03:31.92
I say unto you, I have not found
so great faith no not in Israel.
00:03:31.95\00:03:37.78
And they that were
sent, returning to the house
00:03:37.81\00:03:41.67
found the servant
whole that had been sick.
00:03:41.70\00:03:44.45
And it came to pass the day
after, that he went into a city
00:03:44.48\00:03:49.46
called Nain; and many of
his disciples went with him,
00:03:49.49\00:03:52.54
and much people. Now
when he came nigh to the gate
00:03:52.57\00:03:56.01
of the city, behold, there
was a dead man carried out,
00:03:56.04\00:03:59.61
the only son of his
mother, and she was a widow;
00:03:59.64\00:04:03.11
and much people of the city was
with her. And when the Lord saw
00:04:03.14\00:04:07.96
her, he had compassion on her,
and said unto her, Weep not.
00:04:07.99\00:04:12.19
And he came and touched the
bier: and they that bare him
00:04:12.22\00:04:16.16
stood still. And he said, Young
man, I say unto thee, Arise.
00:04:16.19\00:04:21.13
And he that was dead
sat up, and began to speak.
00:04:21.16\00:04:25.72
And he delivered him to his
mother. And there came a fear
00:04:25.75\00:04:30.41
on all: and they glorified God,
saying, That a great prophet
00:04:30.44\00:04:34.84
is risen up among us;
and, That God hath visited
00:04:34.87\00:04:38.45
his people. And this rumour
of him went forth throughtout
00:04:38.48\00:04:42.64
all Judea, and throughout
all the region round about.
00:04:42.67\00:04:45.34
And the disciples of John
shewed him of all these things.
00:04:45.37\00:04:49.97
And John calling unto him two of
his disciples sent them to Jesus
00:04:50.00\00:04:54.70
saying, Art thou he that should
come? or look we for another?
00:04:54.73\00:04:58.61
When the men were
come unto him, they said,
00:04:58.64\00:05:01.89
John Baptist hath
sent us unto thee, saying,
00:05:01.92\00:05:05.26
Art thou he that should
come? or look we for another?
00:05:05.29\00:05:08.53
And in that same hour he
cured many of their infirmities
00:05:08.56\00:05:13.84
and plagues, and of evil spirits
and unto many that were blind
00:05:13.87\00:05:17.34
he gave sight. Then
Jesus answering said unto them
00:05:17.37\00:05:21.57
Go your way, and tell John what
things ye have seen and heard;
00:05:21.60\00:05:26.20
how that the blind see, the lame
walk, the lepers are cleansed,
00:05:26.23\00:05:31.22
the deaf hear, the dead are
raised, to the poor the gospel
00:05:31.25\00:05:35.82
is preached. And blessed is he,
whosoever shall not be offended
00:05:35.85\00:05:40.58
in me. And when the messengers
of John were departed,
00:05:40.61\00:05:45.13
he began to speak unto
the people concerning John,
00:05:45.16\00:05:48.22
What went ye out into
the wilderness for to see?
00:05:48.25\00:05:52.10
A reed shaken with the wind?
But what went ye out for to see?
00:05:52.13\00:05:57.16
A man clothed in soft raiment?
Behold they which are gorgeously
00:05:57.19\00:06:01.80
appareled, and live
delicately, are in kings courts.
00:06:01.83\00:06:04.99
But what went ye out for
to see? A prophet? Yea, I say
00:06:05.02\00:06:10.28
unto you, and much more than
a prophet. This is he, of whom
00:06:10.31\00:06:14.78
it is written, Behold, I send
my messenger before thy face,
00:06:14.81\00:06:18.90
which shall prepare
thy way before thee.
00:06:18.94\00:06:21.68
For I say unto you, Among
those that are born of women
00:06:21.71\00:06:26.12
there is not a greater
prophet than John the Baptist:
00:06:26.15\00:06:29.41
but he that is least in
the kingdom of God is greater
00:06:29.44\00:06:33.36
than he. And all the people that
heard him and the publicans,
00:06:33.39\00:06:37.94
justified God, being baptized
with the baptism of John.
00:06:37.97\00:06:42.81
But the Pharisees and lawyers
rejected the counsel of God
00:06:42.84\00:06:47.67
against themselves,
being not baptized of him.
00:06:47.70\00:06:51.38
And the Lord said, Whereunto
then shall I liken the men of
00:06:51.41\00:06:56.05
generation? and to what are
they like? They are like unto
00:06:56.08\00:06:59.57
children sitting in the
marketplace, and calling
00:06:59.60\00:07:02.34
one to another, and
saying, We have piped unto you,
00:07:02.37\00:07:05.27
and ye have not danced; we have
mourned to you, and ye have not
00:07:05.30\00:07:08.19
wept. For John the Baptist
came neither eating bread
00:07:08.22\00:07:12.44
nor drinking wine; and ye say,
He hath a devil. The son of man
00:07:12.47\00:07:17.41
has come eating and drinking;
and ye say, Behold a gluttonous
00:07:17.44\00:07:21.19
man, and a winebibber, a
friend of publicans and sinners!
00:07:21.22\00:07:24.37
But wisdom is
justified of all her children.
00:07:24.40\00:07:28.32
And one of the Pharisees desired
him that he would eat with him.
00:07:28.35\00:07:32.53
And he went into the Pharisee's
house, and sat down to meat.
00:07:32.56\00:07:35.69
And, behold, a woman in
the city, which was a sinner,
00:07:35.72\00:07:40.20
when she knew that Jesus sat
at meat in the Pharisee's house,
00:07:40.23\00:07:44.39
brought an alabaster box of
ointment, and stood at his feet
00:07:44.42\00:07:49.07
behind him weeping, and began
to wash his feet with tears,
00:07:49.10\00:07:53.03
and did wipe them with the hairs
of her head, and kissed his feet
00:07:53.06\00:07:57.04
and anointed them with the
ointment. Now when the Pharisee
00:07:57.07\00:08:01.34
which had bidden him saw it,
he spake within himself, saying,
00:08:01.37\00:08:05.73
This man, if he were a prophet,
would have known who and what
00:08:05.76\00:08:09.93
manner of woman this is that
toucheth him for she is a sinner
00:08:09.96\00:08:14.68
And Jesus answering said
unto him, Simon, I have somewhat
00:08:14.72\00:08:19.43
to say unto thee. And
he saith, Master, say on.
00:08:19.46\00:08:23.21
There was a certain
creditor which had two debtors:
00:08:23.24\00:08:27.66
the one owed five hundred
pence, and the other fifty.
00:08:27.69\00:08:32.02
and when they had nothing
to pay, he frankly forgave them
00:08:32.05\00:08:36.56
both. Tell me therefore, which
of them will love him most?
00:08:36.59\00:08:40.95
Simon answered and
said, I suppose that he,
00:08:40.98\00:08:45.14
to whom he forgave
most. And he said unto him,
00:08:45.17\00:08:48.85
Thou hast rightly judged.
And he turned to the woman, and
00:08:48.88\00:08:53.14
said unto Simon,
Seest thou this woman?
00:08:53.17\00:08:56.03
I entered into thine
house, thou gavest me no water
00:08:56.06\00:09:00.47
for my feet: but she hath washed
my feet with tears, and wiped
00:09:00.50\00:09:05.15
them with the hairs of her
head. Thou gavest me no kiss:
00:09:05.18\00:09:09.11
but this woman since the
time I came in hath not ceased
00:09:09.14\00:09:13.47
to kiss my feet. My head
with oil thou didst not anoint;
00:09:13.50\00:09:18.57
but this woman hath anointed
my feet with ointment. Wherefore
00:09:18.60\00:09:23.56
I say unto thee, Her sins,
which are many, are forgiven;
00:09:23.59\00:09:27.19
for she loved much: but
to whom little is forgiven,
00:09:27.22\00:09:31.62
the same loveth
little And he said unto her,
00:09:31.65\00:09:34.99
Thy sins are forgiven. And
they that sat at meat with him
00:09:35.02\00:09:39.37
began to say within themselves,
Who is this that forgiveth sins
00:09:39.40\00:09:43.16
also? And he said to the woman,
Thy faith hath saved thee;
00:09:43.19\00:09:47.97
go in peace. - I'm reading from
the gospel of Luke, chapter 8
00:09:48.00\00:09:53.12
And it came to pass afterward,
that he went throughout every
00:09:53.15\00:09:57.86
city and village, preaching and
shewing the glad tidings of the
00:09:57.89\00:10:01.36
kingdom of God: and the twelve
were with him, and certain women
00:10:01.39\00:10:05.29
which had been healed of evil
spirits and infirmities, Mary
00:10:05.32\00:10:09.13
called Magdalene, out of whom
went seven devils, and Joanna
00:10:09.16\00:10:13.68
the wife of Chuza,
Herod's steward, and Susanna,
00:10:13.71\00:10:17.31
and many others which ministered
unto him of their substance.
00:10:17.34\00:10:20.80
And when much people were
gathered together, and were
00:10:20.83\00:10:24.12
come to him out of every
city, he spake by a parable:
00:10:24.15\00:10:27.23
A sower went out to sow his
seed and as he sowed, some fell
00:10:27.26\00:10:32.69
by the way side; and it
was trodden down, and the fowls
00:10:32.72\00:10:36.10
of the air devoured it. And some
fell upon a rock; and as soon
00:10:36.13\00:10:40.44
as it was sprung up it withered
away, because it lacked moisture
00:10:40.47\00:10:44.17
and some fell among thorns; and
the thorns sprang up with it,
00:10:44.20\00:10:49.23
and choked it. And other fell
on good ground, and sprang up,
00:10:49.26\00:10:54.82
and bare fruit an hundredfold.
And when he had said these
00:10:54.85\00:10:59.49
things he cried, He that
hath ears to hear, let him hear.
00:10:59.52\00:11:03.28
And his disciples asked him,
saying, What might this parable
00:11:03.31\00:11:07.74
be? And he said, Unto you it is
given to know the mysteries of
00:11:07.77\00:11:12.44
the kingdom of God but to
others in parables; that seeing
00:11:12.47\00:11:17.01
they might not see, and hearing
they might not understand.
00:11:17.04\00:11:20.15
Now the parable is this:
The seed is the word of God.
00:11:20.18\00:11:24.58
Those by the way side are they
that hear; then cometh the devil
00:11:24.61\00:11:30.64
and taketh away the word out of
their hearts, lest they should
00:11:30.67\00:11:34.59
believe and be saved. They
on the rock are they, which,
00:11:34.62\00:11:39.05
when they hear, receive the word
with joy; and these have no root
00:11:39.08\00:11:43.96
which for a while believe and
in time of temptation fall away.
00:11:43.99\00:11:48.78
And that which fell among thorns
are they, which, when they have
00:11:48.81\00:11:53.78
heard, go forth, and are
choked with cares and riches
00:11:53.81\00:11:57.01
and pleasures of this life, and
bring no fruit to perfection.
00:11:57.04\00:12:01.24
But that on the good ground
are they, which in an honest
00:12:01.27\00:12:05.92
and good heart, having
heard the word, keep it,
00:12:05.95\00:12:09.51
and bring forth fruit
with patience. No man,
00:12:09.54\00:12:13.55
when he hath lighted a candle,
covereth it with a vessel,
00:12:13.58\00:12:16.76
or putteth it under a bed;
but setteth it on a candlestick,
00:12:16.79\00:12:20.31
that they which enter in may
see the light. For nothing is
00:12:20.34\00:12:25.35
secret, that shall not be made
manifest; neither any thing hid,
00:12:25.38\00:12:29.58
that shall not be known and
come abroad. Take heed therefore
00:12:29.61\00:12:33.34
how ye hear: for whosoever
hath, to him shall be given;
00:12:33.37\00:12:37.28
and whosoever hath not, from
him shall be taken even that
00:12:37.31\00:12:41.33
which he seemeth to have.
Then came to him his mother
00:12:41.36\00:12:45.83
and his brethren, and could
not come at him for the press.
00:12:45.86\00:12:48.79
And it was told him by
certain which said, Thy mother
00:12:48.82\00:12:52.10
and thy brethren stand
without, desiring to see thee.
00:12:52.13\00:12:54.95
And he answered and said unto
them, My mother and my brethren
00:12:54.98\00:12:59.64
are these which hear
the word of God, and do it.
00:12:59.67\00:13:03.95
Now it came to pass on a certain
day, that he went into a ship
00:13:03.98\00:13:08.32
with his disciples: and he said
said unto them. Let us go over
00:13:08.35\00:13:11.56
unto the other side of the
lake. And they launched forth.
00:13:11.59\00:13:14.39
But as they sailed he fell
asleep: and there came down a
00:13:14.42\00:13:18.93
storm of wind on the lake;
and they were filled with water,
00:13:18.96\00:13:22.11
and were in jeopardy. And
they came to him, and awoke him,
00:13:22.14\00:13:25.57
saying, Master, master,
we perish. Then he arose
00:13:25.60\00:13:29.89
and rebuked the wind
and the raging of the water:
00:13:29.92\00:13:32.75
and they ceased, and there was
a calm. And he said unto them,
00:13:32.78\00:13:37.38
Where is your faith? And they
being afraid wondered, saying,
00:13:37.41\00:13:42.22
one to another, What manner of
man is this! for he commandeth
00:13:42.25\00:13:46.29
even the winds and water, and
they obey him. And they arrived
00:13:46.32\00:13:50.76
at the country of the Gadarenes
which is over against Galilee.
00:13:50.79\00:13:54.04
And when he went forth to land,
there met him out of the city
00:13:54.07\00:13:57.55
a certain man, which had devils
long time, and ware no clothes,
00:13:57.58\00:14:02.04
neither abode in any house, but
in the tombs. When he saw Jesus,
00:14:02.07\00:14:06.81
he cried out, and fell
down before him, and with a loud
00:14:06.84\00:14:10.05
voice said, What have I to do
with thee Jesus, thou Son of God
00:14:10.08\00:14:14.08
most high, I beseech
thee, torment me not.
00:14:14.11\00:14:17.76
for he had commanded the unclean
spirit to come out of the man.
00:14:17.80\00:14:21.10
for oftentimes it had caught
him and he was kept bound with
00:14:21.13\00:14:24.40
chains and in fetters; and he
brake the bands, and was driven
00:14:24.43\00:14:27.95
of the devil into the
wilderness. - Thank you
00:14:27.98\00:14:30.62
for joining with me today to
read the word of God. Goodbye.
