Hello, and welcome to His Words Are Life. 00:00:17.20\00:00:19.55 I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank you for joining today, 00:00:19.58\00:00:22.40 with me to read the Word of God. 00:00:22.43\00:00:24.21 We'll be reading from the King James version. 00:00:24.24\00:00:26.20 But first, let's go to God in prayer. 00:00:26.23\00:00:28.30 Dear heavenly Father, please be with us now as we come aside 00:00:28.33\00:00:33.18 and we read your Words, words that not only 00:00:33.21\00:00:36.18 give us encouragement and hope, but that give us wisdom 00:00:36.21\00:00:39.78 and that light our path so that we can walk in ways 00:00:39.81\00:00:43.15 that are pleasing to You. Please be with us now. Thank you 00:00:43.18\00:00:47.00 again. We love you. Amen. I'm reading from the gospel of 00:00:47.03\00:00:51.69 Luke, the King James version, chapter 10, 00:00:51.72\00:00:54.59 we'll start with verse 3. Jesus has just called his disciples 00:00:54.62\00:00:58.70 together and sent them out to the field of harvest. 00:00:58.91\00:01:01.96 Go your ways, behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 00:01:01.99\00:01:08.78 Carry neither purse, nor script, nor shoes, and salute no man 00:01:08.81\00:01:14.36 by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, 00:01:14.39\00:01:18.01 Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there 00:01:18.04\00:01:22.19 your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you 00:01:22.22\00:01:26.61 again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking 00:01:26.64\00:01:30.69 such things they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. 00:01:30.72\00:01:35.21 Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, 00:01:35.24\00:01:40.32 and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 00:01:40.35\00:01:44.48 And heal the sick that are therein and say unto them 00:01:44.51\00:01:47.78 The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But into whatsoever 00:01:47.81\00:01:52.49 city you enter and they receive you not, go your ways out into 00:01:52.52\00:01:56.71 the streets of the same, and say Even the very dust of your city, 00:01:56.74\00:02:01.69 which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding 00:02:01.72\00:02:06.44 be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh 00:02:06.47\00:02:10.19 unto you. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable 00:02:10.22\00:02:14.57 in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe unto thee. 00:02:14.60\00:02:19.98 Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! 00:02:20.01\00:02:22.69 for if the mighty works had been 00:02:22.72\00:02:24.29 done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, 00:02:24.32\00:02:27.38 they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth 00:02:27.41\00:02:31.46 and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon 00:02:31.49\00:02:35.54 at the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art 00:02:35.57\00:02:39.40 exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. 00:02:39.43\00:02:42.28 He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you; 00:02:42.31\00:02:48.08 despiseth me: and he that despiseth me, despiseth him 00:02:48.12\00:02:52.32 that sent me. And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, 00:02:52.35\00:02:57.89 Lord even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 00:02:57.92\00:03:01.66 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall 00:03:01.69\00:03:07.31 from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents 00:03:07.34\00:03:11.79 and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing 00:03:11.82\00:03:15.79 shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice 00:03:15.82\00:03:21.31 not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather 00:03:21.34\00:03:25.09 rejoice because your names are written in heaven. 00:03:25.12\00:03:29.18 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, 00:03:29.21\00:03:35.25 O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these 00:03:35.28\00:03:39.13 things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed 00:03:39.16\00:03:42.11 the unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good 00:03:42.14\00:03:46.51 in thy sight. All things are delivered to me of my Father 00:03:46.54\00:03:50.50 and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the 00:03:50.53\00:03:55.04 Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. 00:03:55.07\00:03:59.46 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, 00:03:59.49\00:04:04.65 Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: 00:04:04.68\00:04:08.80 For I tell you, that many prophets and Kings 00:04:08.83\00:04:11.86 have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen 00:04:11.89\00:04:16.33 them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not 00:04:16.36\00:04:19.76 heard them. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, 00:04:19.79\00:04:23.35 and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit 00:04:23.38\00:04:27.95 eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? 00:04:27.98\00:04:32.61 how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love 00:04:32.64\00:04:37.46 the Lord thy God with all thy heard, and with all thy soul, 00:04:37.49\00:04:40.36 and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; 00:04:40.39\00:04:43.04 and thy neighbor as thyself. And he said unto him, 00:04:43.07\00:04:47.09 Thou has answered right: this do and thou shalt live. But he, 00:04:47.12\00:04:52.86 willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, 00:04:52.89\00:04:56.69 And who is my neighbor? And Jesus, answering said, 00:04:56.72\00:05:01.20 A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, 00:05:01.23\00:05:05.00 and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, 00:05:05.03\00:05:08.41 and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 00:05:08.44\00:05:11.45 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: 00:05:11.48\00:05:15.51 and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. And likewise 00:05:15.54\00:05:21.27 a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, 00:05:21.30\00:05:24.63 and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he 00:05:24.66\00:05:31.01 journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, 00:05:31.04\00:05:34.60 he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up 00:05:34.63\00:05:38.96 his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own 00:05:38.99\00:05:43.15 beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 00:05:43.18\00:05:46.69 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out 2 pence, 00:05:46.72\00:05:50.95 and gave them to the host, and said unto him, 00:05:50.98\00:05:54.27 Take care of him and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come 00:05:54.30\00:05:58.72 again, I will repay thee. Which now of these 3 thinkest thou, 00:05:58.75\00:06:04.16 was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves? 00:06:04.19\00:06:07.21 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus 00:06:07.24\00:06:12.73 unto him, Go and do thou likewise. 00:06:12.76\00:06:15.77 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered 00:06:15.80\00:06:19.11 into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha 00:06:19.14\00:06:22.53 received him into her house. And she had a sister called 00:06:22.56\00:06:25.95 Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 00:06:25.98\00:06:30.01 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, 00:06:30.04\00:06:35.33 and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me 00:06:35.36\00:06:38.88 to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 00:06:38.91\00:06:42.18 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art 00:06:42.21\00:06:47.50 careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful 00:06:47.53\00:06:51.90 and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken 00:06:51.93\00:06:56.06 away from her. - I'm reading from the gospel of Luke, 00:06:56.09\00:06:59.49 chapter 11. - And it came to pass that as he was praying 00:06:59.52\00:07:04.71 in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples 00:07:04.74\00:07:08.67 said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his 00:07:08.70\00:07:13.70 disciples. And he said unto them When ye pray, say, Our Father 00:07:13.73\00:07:19.83 which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. 00:07:19.86\00:07:24.64 Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day 00:07:24.67\00:07:31.30 our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive 00:07:31.33\00:07:35.97 every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into 00:07:36.00\00:07:40.38 temptation; but deliver us from evil. And he said unto them, 00:07:40.41\00:07:46.27 Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him 00:07:46.30\00:07:49.57 at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves. 00:07:49.60\00:07:53.24 For a friend of mine in his journey is come unto me, 00:07:53.27\00:07:56.07 and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within 00:07:56.10\00:08:00.00 shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, 00:08:00.03\00:08:03.56 and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise 00:08:03.59\00:08:05.78 and give thee. I say unto you, Though he will not rise 00:08:05.81\00:08:10.45 and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his 00:08:10.48\00:08:14.10 importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 00:08:14.13\00:08:17.78 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, any ye 00:08:17.81\00:08:24.60 shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 00:08:24.63\00:08:28.01 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh 00:08:28.04\00:08:32.01 findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 00:08:32.04\00:08:36.03 If a son shall ask for bread of any of you that is a father, 00:08:36.06\00:08:40.04 will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish will he for a fish 00:08:40.07\00:08:45.75 give him a serpent? Or if he ask an egg, will he offer him 00:08:45.78\00:08:49.53 a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good 00:08:49.56\00:08:54.43 gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly 00:08:54.46\00:08:58.30 Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? 00:08:58.33\00:09:01.60 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. 00:09:01.63\00:09:05.47 And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, 00:09:05.50\00:09:07.92 the dumb spake; and the people wondered. But some of them said, 00:09:07.95\00:09:12.68 He casteth out devils through Beelzebub, the chief 00:09:12.71\00:09:16.08 of the devils. And others, tempting him, sought of him 00:09:16.11\00:09:20.32 a sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, 00:09:20.35\00:09:24.48 said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself 00:09:24.51\00:09:28.77 is brought to desolation; and a housed divided against a house 00:09:28.80\00:09:33.56 falleth. If Satan also be divided against himself 00:09:33.59\00:09:38.01 how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out 00:09:38.04\00:09:42.57 devils through Beelzebub, And if I by Beelzebub 00:09:42.60\00:09:45.95 cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? 00:09:45.98\00:09:49.69 Therefore shall they be your judges. But if I with the finger 00:09:49.72\00:09:54.82 of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God 00:09:54.85\00:09:58.80 is come upon you. When a strong man, armed, keepeth 00:09:58.83\00:10:03.47 his palace, his goods are in peace; but when a stronger 00:10:03.50\00:10:07.98 than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh 00:10:08.01\00:10:11.89 from him all his armour wherein the trusted and divideth 00:10:11.92\00:10:16.43 his spoils. He that is not with me is against me: 00:10:16.46\00:10:20.43 and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. When the unclean 00:10:20.46\00:10:25.91 Spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places 00:10:25.94\00:10:29.19 seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my 00:10:29.22\00:10:34.25 house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it 00:10:34.28\00:10:38.38 swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him, 7 other 00:10:38.41\00:10:43.63 spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in 00:10:43.66\00:10:47.59 and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse 00:10:47.62\00:10:51.62 than the first. And it came to pass, as he spake these things, 00:10:51.65\00:10:56.01 a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said 00:10:56.04\00:11:00.46 unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps 00:11:00.49\00:11:04.40 which thou has sucked. But he said, Yea rather blessed 00:11:04.43\00:11:10.18 are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 00:11:10.21\00:11:13.78 And when the people were gathered thick together, 00:11:13.81\00:11:16.82 he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; 00:11:16.85\00:11:22.16 and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas 00:11:22.19\00:11:25.82 the prophet. For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, 00:11:25.85\00:11:29.17 so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 00:11:29.20\00:11:33.18 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment 00:11:33.21\00:11:36.86 with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came 00:11:36.89\00:11:40.97 from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of 00:11:41.00\00:11:43.64 Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 00:11:43.67\00:11:47.92 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this 00:11:47.95\00:11:51.33 generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented 00:11:51.36\00:11:54.86 at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas 00:11:54.89\00:11:59.46 is here. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it 00:11:59.49\00:12:04.13 in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, 00:12:04.16\00:12:08.32 that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body 00:12:08.35\00:12:12.92 is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body 00:12:12.95\00:12:17.04 also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also 00:12:17.07\00:12:21.96 is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light 00:12:21.99\00:12:25.72 which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body 00:12:25.75\00:12:29.96 therefore be full of light, having no part dark, 00:12:29.99\00:12:33.23 the whole shall be full of light as when the bright shining 00:12:33.26\00:12:37.22 of a candle doth give thee light. And as he spake, a 00:12:37.25\00:12:42.01 certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, 00:12:42.04\00:12:46.39 and sat down to meat. And when the Pharisee saw it he marveled 00:12:46.42\00:12:50.19 that he had not first washed before dinner. 00:12:50.22\00:12:52.76 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean 00:12:52.79\00:12:57.13 the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part 00:12:57.16\00:13:00.59 is full of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, 00:13:00.62\00:13:03.33 did not he that made that which is without make that which is 00:13:03.36\00:13:07.88 within also? But rather give alms of such things as ye have; 00:13:07.91\00:13:13.29 and, behold, all things are clean unto you. 00:13:13.32\00:13:15.87 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint an rue 00:13:15.90\00:13:20.88 and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment 00:13:20.91\00:13:24.36 and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not 00:13:24.39\00:13:29.01 to leave the other undone. Woe unto you, Pharisees! 00:13:29.04\00:13:32.29 for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings 00:13:32.32\00:13:35.90 in the markets. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, 00:13:35.93\00:13:39.34 hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men 00:13:39.37\00:13:44.49 that walk over them are not aware of them. 00:13:44.52\00:13:46.50 Then answered one of the lawyers and said unto him, Master, thus 00:13:46.53\00:13:51.52 saying thou reproachest us also. And he said, Woe unto you also, 00:13:51.55\00:13:56.79 ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, 00:13:56.82\00:14:00.62 and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers 00:14:00.65\00:14:03.50 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, 00:14:03.53\00:14:07.24 and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness 00:14:07.27\00:14:10.99 that ye allow the deeds of your fathers for they indeed killed 00:14:11.02\00:14:14.29 them, and ye build their sepulchers. Therefore also 00:14:14.32\00:14:17.42 said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, 00:14:17.45\00:14:21.13 and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 00:14:21.16\00:14:24.34 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed 00:14:24.37\00:14:26.95 from the foundation of the world may be required 00:14:26.98\00:14:29.64 of this generation; Thank you again for joining me 00:14:29.67\00:14:33.92 for the reading of the Word of God. 00:14:33.95\00:14:35.76
