Hello and welcome
to HIS WORDS ARE LIFE.
00:00:16.63\00:00:18.76
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and
we'll be reading together
00:00:18.79\00:00:21.39
today from the King James
version. But before we read
00:00:21.42\00:00:24.25
Let's go to God in
prayer. Dear heavenly Father,
00:00:24.28\00:00:27.41
We thank you and we praise you
for your love, for your kindness
00:00:27.44\00:00:32.30
to us in giving us these
beautiful words that not only
00:00:32.33\00:00:36.13
bless us now but help us to
become the people that you've
00:00:36.16\00:00:39.20
created us to be. And one day
soon we are going to come home
00:00:39.23\00:00:42.80
and live with you forever. Thank
you for that. Thank you for your
00:00:42.83\00:00:45.54
Holy Spirit. Please be with
us now as we read and give us
00:00:45.57\00:00:48.55
understanding.
We love You. Amen.
00:00:48.58\00:00:51.00
I'm reading today from the
gospel of Luke in chapter 11,
00:00:51.03\00:00:55.18
the King James Version.
We'll start with verse 51,
00:00:55.21\00:00:59.49
Luke chapter 11, verse 51. Jesus
is talking to the Pharisees.
00:00:59.52\00:01:03.67
>From the blood of Abel
unto the blood of Zacharias,
00:01:03.70\00:01:08.34
which perished between the altar
and the temple: verily I say
00:01:08.37\00:01:11.84
unto you, It shall be
required of this generation.
00:01:11.87\00:01:14.91
Woe unto you, lawyers! for
ye have taken away the key of
00:01:14.94\00:01:18.78
knowledge: ye entered not in
yourselves, and them that were
00:01:18.81\00:01:22.85
entering in ye hindered. And as
he said these things unto them,
00:01:22.88\00:01:27.33
the scribes and the Pharisees
began to urge him vehemently,
00:01:27.36\00:01:30.98
and to provoke him to speak of
many things: Laying wait for him
00:01:31.01\00:01:34.89
and seeking to catch
something out of his mouth,
00:01:34.92\00:01:37.14
that they might accuse
him. - Luke chapter twelve.
00:01:37.17\00:01:41.20
In the meantime when there were
gathered together an innumerable
00:01:41.23\00:01:45.64
multitude of people, insomuch
that they trode one upon another
00:01:45.67\00:01:49.51
He began to say unto
his disciples first of all,
00:01:49.54\00:01:52.46
Beware ye of the leaven of the
Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
00:01:52.49\00:01:56.91
For there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed;
00:01:56.94\00:02:00.28
neither hid, that shall not
be known. Therefore whatsoever
00:02:00.31\00:02:05.18
ye have spoken in darkness shall
be heard in the light; and that
00:02:05.21\00:02:09.04
which ye have spoken in the ear
in closets shall be proclaimed
00:02:09.07\00:02:12.72
upon the housetops. And
I say unto you my friends,
00:02:12.75\00:02:15.86
Be not afraid of them that kill
the body, and after that have
00:02:15.89\00:02:19.26
no more that they can do.
But I will forewarn you whom ye
00:02:19.29\00:02:22.18
whom ye shall fear: Fear
him, which after he hath killed
00:02:22.21\00:02:26.10
hath power to cast into hell;
Yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
00:02:26.13\00:02:30.83
Are not five sparrows sold for
two farthings, and not one of
00:02:30.86\00:02:35.29
them is forgotten before God?
But even the very hairs of your
00:02:35.32\00:02:38.77
head are all numbered. Fear not
therefore: ye are of more value
00:02:38.80\00:02:43.07
than many sparrows. Also I
say unto you, Whosoever shall
00:02:43.10\00:02:47.52
confess me before men, him shall
the Son of man also confess
00:02:47.55\00:02:51.41
before the angels of God: But
he that denieth me before men
00:02:51.44\00:02:55.86
shall be denied
before the angels of God.
00:02:55.89\00:02:58.34
And whosoever shall speak a word
against the Son of man, it shall
00:02:58.37\00:03:03.26
be forgiven him: but unto
him that blasphemeth against the
00:03:03.29\00:03:07.23
Holy Ghost it shall not
be forgiven. And when they
00:03:07.26\00:03:11.15
bring you unto the synagogues,
and unto magistrates, and powers
00:03:11.18\00:03:14.50
take ye no thought how or
what thing ye shall answer,
00:03:14.53\00:03:18.21
or what you shall say: For
the Holy Ghost shall teach you
00:03:18.24\00:03:21.53
in the same hour what ye ought
to say. And one of the company
00:03:21.56\00:03:26.15
said unto him, Master, speak to
my brother, that he divide the
00:03:26.18\00:03:30.19
inheritance with me. And he
said unto him, Man who made me
00:03:30.22\00:03:34.66
a judge or a divider over
you? And he said unto them,
00:03:34.69\00:03:38.41
Take heed, and beware of
covetousness: for a man's
00:03:38.44\00:03:42.74
life consisteth not in
the abundance of the things
00:03:42.77\00:03:45.68
which he possesseth. And
he spake a parable unto them,
00:03:45.71\00:03:49.29
saying, The ground of a
certain rich man brought forth
00:03:49.32\00:03:53.22
plentifully: And he
thought within himself, saying,
00:03:53.25\00:03:56.47
What shall I do: Because I
have no room where to bestow my
00:03:56.50\00:04:00.14
fruits? And he said, This will
I do: I will pull down my barns,
00:04:00.17\00:04:04.29
and build greater; and there
will I bestow all my fruits
00:04:04.32\00:04:08.02
and my goods. And I will say
to my soul, Soul, thou hast much
00:04:08.05\00:04:12.92
goods laid up for many years;
take thine ease, eat, drink,
00:04:12.95\00:04:17.42
and be merry. But God said
unto him, Thou fool, this night
00:04:17.45\00:04:23.20
thy soul shall be required
of thee: then whose shall those
00:04:23.23\00:04:27.74
things be, which thou hast
provided? So is he that layeth
00:04:27.77\00:04:32.27
up treasure for himself,
and is not rich toward God.
00:04:32.30\00:04:36.15
And he said unto his disciples,
Therefore I say unto you,
00:04:36.18\00:04:40.23
Take no thought for you
life, what ye shall eat; neither
00:04:40.26\00:04:43.95
for the body, what ye shall put
on. The life is more than meat,
00:04:43.98\00:04:47.32
And the body is more than
raiment. Consider the ravens:
00:04:47.35\00:04:50.00
For they neither sow nor reap
which neither have storehouse
00:04:50.03\00:04:53.61
nor barn and God feedeth them:
How much more are ye better
00:04:53.64\00:04:58.62
than the fowls? And which of you
with taking thought can add to
00:04:58.65\00:05:02.66
his stature one cubit?
If ye then be not able to do
00:05:02.69\00:05:06.56
that thing which is least, why
take ye thought for the rest?
00:05:06.59\00:05:09.74
Consider the lilies how they
grow: they toil not, they spin
00:05:09.77\00:05:14.86
not; and yet I say unto you,
that Solomon in all his glory
00:05:14.89\00:05:18.48
was not arrayed like one of
these. If then God so clothe
00:05:18.51\00:05:23.12
the grass, which is today in the
field, and tomorrow is cast into
00:05:23.15\00:05:27.42
the oven; how much more will he
clothe you O ye of little faith?
00:05:27.45\00:05:31.93
And seek not ye what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink,
00:05:31.96\00:05:36.27
neither be ye of doubtful mind.
For all these things do the
00:05:36.30\00:05:40.64
nations of the world seek
after: and your Father knoweth
00:05:40.67\00:05:44.25
that ye have need of
these things. But rather seek ye
00:05:44.28\00:05:48.22
the kingdom of God; and
all these things shall be added
00:05:48.25\00:05:51.62
unto you. Fear not, little flock
for it is your Father's good
00:05:51.65\00:05:55.95
pleasure to give you the
kingdom. Sell that ye have,
00:05:55.98\00:06:00.28
and give alms; provide your
selves bags which was not old,
00:06:00.31\00:06:04.07
a treasure in the heavens
that faileth not, where no thief
00:06:04.10\00:06:08.28
approacheth,
neither moth corrupteth.
00:06:08.31\00:06:10.49
For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
00:06:10.52\00:06:14.35
Let your loins be girded
about, and your lights burning;
00:06:14.38\00:06:18.01
And ye yourselves like unto
men that wait for their lord,
00:06:18.04\00:06:21.26
when he will return from
the wedding; that when he cometh
00:06:21.29\00:06:24.37
and knocketh, they may
open unto him immediately.
00:06:24.40\00:06:27.06
Blessed are those servants,
whom the lord when he cometh
00:06:27.09\00:06:30.43
shall find watching. Verily
I say unto you, that he shall
00:06:30.46\00:06:34.02
gird himself, and make them to
sit down to meat, and will come
00:06:34.05\00:06:37.54
forth and serve them. And if he
shall come in the second watch,
00:06:37.57\00:06:41.56
or come in the third watch, and
find them so, blessed are those
00:06:41.59\00:06:45.25
servants. And this know,
that if the Goodman of the house
00:06:45.28\00:06:49.79
had known what hour the
thief would come, he would have
00:06:49.82\00:06:52.65
watched, and not have suffered
his house to be broken through.
00:06:52.68\00:06:55.99
Be ye therefore ready, also for
the Son of man cometh at an hour
00:06:56.02\00:07:01.64
when ye think not. Then Peter
said unto him, Lord, speakest
00:07:01.67\00:07:06.94
thou this parable unto us, or
even to all? And the Lord said,
00:07:06.97\00:07:11.28
who then is that faithful
and wise steward, whom his lord
00:07:11.31\00:07:15.26
shall make ruler over
his household, to give them
00:07:15.29\00:07:17.64
their portion of meat in due
season? Blessed is that servant,
00:07:17.67\00:07:21.42
whom his lord when he
cometh shall find so doing.
00:07:21.45\00:07:25.02
Of a truth I say unto you, that
he will make him ruler over all
00:07:25.05\00:07:29.46
that he hath. But and if
that servant say in his heart,
00:07:29.49\00:07:33.99
My lord delayeth his
coming; and shall begin to beat
00:07:34.02\00:07:37.82
the menservants and
maidens, and to eat and drink,
00:07:37.85\00:07:40.14
and to be drunken; the lord of
that servant will come in a day
00:07:40.17\00:07:44.38
when he looketh not for him, and
at an hour when he is not aware,
00:07:44.41\00:07:48.47
and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his portion
00:07:48.50\00:07:52.08
with the unbelievers. And that
servant, which knew his lord's
00:07:52.11\00:07:56.54
will, and prepared not
himself, neither did according
00:07:56.57\00:08:00.23
to his will, shall be
beaten with many stripes.
00:08:00.26\00:08:03.19
But he that knew not, and did
commit things worthy of stripes,
00:08:03.22\00:08:06.82
shall be beaten with few
stripes. For unto whomsoever
00:08:06.85\00:08:10.93
much is given, of him shall
be much required: and to whom
00:08:10.96\00:08:15.75
men have committed much,
of him they will ask the more.
00:08:15.78\00:08:19.73
I am come to send fire on the
earth; and what will I, if it be
00:08:19.76\00:08:25.34
already kindled? But I have
a baptism to be baptized with;
00:08:25.37\00:08:29.15
and how am I straitened
till it be accomplished!
00:08:29.18\00:08:31.95
Suppose ye that I am
come to give peace on earth?
00:08:31.98\00:08:35.15
I tell you, Nay; but rather
division: For from henceforth
00:08:35.18\00:08:40.05
there shall be five in one house
divided, three against two,
00:08:40.08\00:08:43.53
and two against three. The
father shall be divided against
00:08:43.56\00:08:47.13
the son, and the son against the
father; the mother against the
00:08:47.16\00:08:50.90
daughter and the
daughter against the mother;
00:08:50.93\00:08:53.48
the mother in law against
her daughter in law against her
00:08:53.51\00:08:58.11
mother in law. And he
said also to the people,
00:08:58.14\00:09:01.19
When ye see a cloud rise out
of the west, straightway ye say,
00:09:01.22\00:09:04.66
there cometh a shower; and so
it is. And when ye see the south
00:09:04.69\00:09:08.84
wind blow, ye say, There will
be heat; and it cometh to pass.
00:09:08.87\00:09:12.33
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern
the face of the sky and of the
00:09:12.36\00:09:16.64
earth; but how is it that
ye do not discern this time?
00:09:16.67\00:09:20.00
Yea, and why even of yourselves
judge ye not what is right?
00:09:20.03\00:09:24.40
When thou goest with thine
adversary to the magistrate,
00:09:24.43\00:09:28.22
as thou are in the way,
give diligence that thou mayest
00:09:28.25\00:09:32.44
be delivered from him;
lest he hale thee to the judge,
00:09:32.47\00:09:36.19
and the judge deliver thee
to the officer, and the officer
00:09:36.22\00:09:39.43
cast thee into prison. I
tell thee, thou shalt not depart
00:09:39.46\00:09:42.95
thence till thou has
paid the very last mite.
00:09:42.98\00:09:45.97
Reading from Luke. chapter
13. There were present at that
00:09:46.00\00:09:51.84
season some that told him of the
Galileans, whose blood Pilate
00:09:51.87\00:09:56.13
had mingled with
their sacrifices. And Jesus
00:09:56.16\00:09:59.12
answering said unto
them, Suppose ye that these
00:09:59.15\00:10:02.24
Galileans were sinners
above all the Galileans,
00:10:02.27\00:10:04.90
because they suffered
such things? I tell you, Nay:
00:10:04.93\00:10:07.93
but, except ye repent, ye
shall all likewise perish.
00:10:07.96\00:10:11.70
Or those eighteen upon whom the
in Siloam fell, and slew them,
00:10:11.73\00:10:17.38
Think ye that they
were sinners above al men
00:10:17.41\00:10:20.09
that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell
you, Nay: but except ye repent
00:10:20.12\00:10:24.84
you shall all likewise perish.
He spake also this parable;
00:10:24.87\00:10:29.73
A certain man had a fig
tree planted in his vineyard;
00:10:29.76\00:10:33.81
and he came and sought
fruit thereon, and found none.
00:10:33.84\00:10:37.60
Then said he unto the dresser
of his vineyard, Behold, these
00:10:37.63\00:10:42.05
three years I come
seeking fruit on this fig tree,
00:10:42.08\00:10:44.59
and find none: cut it down;
why cumbereth it the ground?
00:10:44.62\00:10:49.10
And he answering said unto him,
Lord let it alone this year also
00:10:49.13\00:10:54.53
till I shall dig about it, and
dung it: And if it bear fruit,
00:10:54.56\00:10:58.22
well: and if not, then after
that thou shalt cut it down.
00:10:58.25\00:11:02.60
And he was teaching in one of
the synagogues on the Sabbath.
00:11:02.63\00:11:06.25
And behold, there was a woman
which had a spirit of infirmity
00:11:06.28\00:11:10.08
eighteen years, and was bowed
together, and could in no wise
00:11:10.11\00:11:14.03
lift up herself. And when Jesus
saw her, he called her to him,
00:11:14.06\00:11:19.17
and said unto her, Woman, thou
art loosed from thine infirmity.
00:11:19.20\00:11:22.90
And he laid his hands on her:
and immediately she was made
00:11:22.93\00:11:26.38
straight, and glorified God.
And the ruler of the synagogue
00:11:26.41\00:11:30.36
answered with indignation,
because that Jesus had healed
00:11:30.39\00:11:33.83
on the Sabbath day,
and said unto the people,
00:11:33.86\00:11:36.07
There are six days in which men
ought to work: in them therefore
00:11:36.10\00:11:40.01
come and be healed,
and not on the Sabbath day.
00:11:40.04\00:11:42.69
The Lord then answered him, and
said, Thou hypocrite, doth not
00:11:42.72\00:11:47.88
each one of you on the
Sabbath loose his ox or his ass
00:11:47.91\00:11:52.01
from the stall, and
lead him away to watering?
00:11:52.04\00:11:54.25
And ought not this woman,
being a daughter of Abraham,
00:11:54.28\00:11:57.98
whom Satan hath bound, lo,
these eighteen years, be loosed
00:11:58.01\00:12:02.57
from this bond on the Sabbath
day? And when he had said these
00:12:02.60\00:12:06.49
things, all his adversaries
were ashamed: and all the people
00:12:06.52\00:12:10.26
rejoiced for all the glorious
things that were done by him.
00:12:10.29\00:12:13.37
Then said he, Unto what
is the kingdom of God like?
00:12:13.40\00:12:17.98
and whereunto shall I resemble
it? It is like a grain of
00:12:18.01\00:12:22.44
mustard seed, which a man
took, and cast into his garden;
00:12:22.47\00:12:26.33
and it grew, and waxed a great
tree; and the fowls of the air
00:12:26.36\00:12:30.95
lodged in the branches of
it. And again he said, Whereunto
00:12:30.98\00:12:35.16
shall I liken the kingdom of
God? It is like leaven, which
00:12:35.19\00:12:39.01
a woman took and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole
00:12:39.04\00:12:42.77
was leavened. And he went
through the cities and villages,
00:12:42.80\00:12:46.17
teaching, and
journeying toward Jerusalem.
00:12:46.20\00:12:48.68
Then said one unto him, Lord,
are there few that be saved?
00:12:48.71\00:12:54.55
And he said unto them, Strive
to enter in at the strait gate:
00:12:54.58\00:12:59.45
for many, I say unto you, will
seek to enter in, and shall not
00:12:59.48\00:13:03.77
be able. When once the master
of the house is risen up, and
00:13:03.81\00:13:07.30
hath shut to the door, and ye
begin to stand without, and to
00:13:07.33\00:13:10.56
knock at the door,
saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us
00:13:10.60\00:13:13.54
and he shall answer and
say unto you, I know you not
00:13:13.57\00:13:16.48
whence ye are:
00:13:16.52\00:13:17.86
Then shall ye begin to
say, We have eaten and drunk
00:13:17.90\00:13:20.99
in thy presence, and thou
hast taught in our streets.
00:13:21.02\00:13:23.38
But he shall say, I tell you,
I know you not whence ye are;
00:13:23.41\00:13:28.57
depart from me, all
ye workers of iniquity.
00:13:28.60\00:13:31.76
there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth,
00:13:31.79\00:13:34.81
when ye shall see Abraham, and
Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
00:13:34.84\00:13:37.67
prophets, in the kingdom of God,
and you yourselves thrust out.
00:13:37.70\00:13:41.14
And they shall come from
the east and from the west,
00:13:41.17\00:13:44.05
and from the north, and from
the south, and shall sit down
00:13:44.08\00:13:46.71
in the kingdom of God. And,
behold, there are last which
00:13:46.74\00:13:50.63
shall be first, and there
are first which shall be last.
00:13:50.66\00:13:53.74
The same day there came certain
of the Pharisees, saying unto
00:13:53.77\00:13:57.85
him, Get thee out, and depart
hence: for Herod will kill thee.
00:13:57.88\00:14:01.63
And he said unto them, Go
ye and tell that fox, Behold,
00:14:01.66\00:14:06.11
I cast out devils, and I
do cures today and tomorrow,
00:14:06.14\00:14:09.64
and the third day I shall
be perfected. Nevertheless
00:14:09.67\00:14:13.78
I must walk today, and
tomorrow, and the day following:
00:14:13.81\00:14:17.18
for it cannot be that a
prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
00:14:17.21\00:14:21.51
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which
killest the prophets and stonest
00:14:21.54\00:14:25.95
them that are sent unto thee;
Thank you for joining with me
00:14:25.98\00:14:30.50
today to read the
Word of God. Goodbye.
00:14:30.53\00:14:33.68
