Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.11\00:00:18.60
I'm Kelly Mowrer and
I'll be reading today from the
00:00:18.63\00:00:21.24
King James Version,
but first let's pray.
00:00:21.27\00:00:23.71
Dear Jesus, like David
wrote, we come to You when our
00:00:23.74\00:00:29.21
sprit is cast
down and discouraged.
00:00:29.24\00:00:31.96
In Your word we
are strengthened,
00:00:31.99\00:00:34.29
and we are lifted up again.
00:00:34.33\00:00:35.60
Right now I know there are some
watching and listening who have
00:00:35.63\00:00:39.92
put burdens before You and
may be waiting for Your answer,
00:00:39.95\00:00:43.92
and are wondering if
their prayers are even heard.
00:00:43.95\00:00:46.95
But as we read today the stories
that You told to encourage us to
00:00:46.98\00:00:51.72
pray without ceasing,
and not to stop asking,
00:00:51.75\00:00:54.87
may these people be encouraged,
and may they know their prayers
00:00:54.90\00:00:59.60
are reaching You
and are being heard.
00:00:59.63\00:01:00.92
and at the exact right time
You will supply the answers.
00:01:00.95\00:01:03.94
And may we also be encouraged
and strengthened as we read
00:01:03.97\00:01:07.17
Your word together.
00:01:07.20\00:01:08.17
Thank You so much.
00:01:08.18\00:01:09.22
We love You.
00:01:09.25\00:01:10.22
Amen.
00:01:10.23\00:01:11.20
I'm reading today from the
King James Version the gospel of
00:01:11.21\00:01:14.77
Luke, chapter 17,
beginning with verse 1.
00:01:14.80\00:01:17.96
Then said he unto the disciples,
It is impossible but that
00:01:17.99\00:01:22.82
offenses will
come: but woe unto him,
00:01:22.85\00:01:25.34
through whom they come!
00:01:25.37\00:01:26.82
It were better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his
00:01:26.85\00:01:30.07
neck, and he cast into the
sea, than that he should offend
00:01:30.10\00:01:33.72
one of these little ones.
00:01:33.75\00:01:35.54
Take heed to yourselves: If thy
brother trespass against thee,
00:01:35.57\00:01:39.54
rebuke him; and if
he repent, forgive him.
00:01:39.57\00:01:42.99
And if he trespass against thee
seven times in a day, and seven
00:01:43.02\00:01:47.62
times in a day turn again
to thee, saying, I repent;
00:01:47.65\00:01:50.98
thou shalt forgive him.
00:01:51.01\00:01:52.83
And the apostles said unto
the Lord, Increase our faith.
00:01:52.86\00:01:57.26
And the Lord said, If ye
had faith as a grain of mustard
00:01:57.29\00:02:01.44
seed, ye might say unto this
sycamine tree, Be thou plucked
00:02:01.47\00:02:05.46
up by the root, and be
thou planted in the sea;
00:02:05.49\00:02:07.98
and it should obey you.
00:02:08.01\00:02:09.36
But which of you, having
a servant plowing or feeding
00:02:09.39\00:02:12.93
cattle, will say unto him by
and by, when he is come from the
00:02:12.96\00:02:16.40
field, Go and sit down to meat?
00:02:16.43\00:02:18.50
And will not rather say unto
him, Make ready wherewith I may
00:02:18.53\00:02:23.04
sup, and gird thyself, and
serve me, till I have eaten and
00:02:23.07\00:02:26.49
drunken; and afterward
thou shalt eat and drink?
00:02:26.52\00:02:29.41
Doth he thank that servant
because he did the things that
00:02:29.44\00:02:33.29
were commanded him?
00:02:33.32\00:02:34.29
I trow not.
00:02:34.30\00:02:35.74
So likewise ye, when ye shall
have done all those things which
00:02:35.77\00:02:40.07
are commanded you, say, We are
unprofitable servants: we have
00:02:40.10\00:02:45.02
done that which
was our duty to do.
00:02:45.05\00:02:47.37
And it came to pass, as he went
to Jerusalem, that he passed
00:02:47.40\00:02:51.81
through the midst
of Samaria and Galilee.
00:02:51.84\00:02:54.02
And as he entered into a certain
village, there met him ten men
00:02:54.05\00:02:58.20
that were lepers, which stood
afar off: and they lifted up
00:02:58.23\00:03:01.99
their voices, and said,
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
00:03:02.02\00:03:05.75
And when he saw them, he said
unto them, Go show yourselves
00:03:05.78\00:03:10.00
unto the priests.
00:03:10.03\00:03:11.00
And it came to pass, that, as
they went, they were cleansed.
00:03:11.01\00:03:15.28
And one of them, when he saw
that he was healed, turned back,
00:03:15.31\00:03:20.08
and with a loud voice glorified
God, and fell down on his face
00:03:20.11\00:03:24.36
at his feet, giving him
thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
00:03:24.39\00:03:27.67
And Jesus answering said,
Were there not ten cleansed?
00:03:27.70\00:03:32.63
but where are the nine?
00:03:32.66\00:03:34.18
There are not found that
returned to give glory to God,
00:03:34.21\00:03:37.88
save this stranger.
00:03:37.91\00:03:39.36
And he said unto
him, Arise, go thy way:
00:03:39.39\00:03:43.02
thy faith hath made thee whole.
00:03:43.06\00:03:45.00
And when he was demanded of the
Pharisees, when the kingdom of
00:03:45.03\00:03:48.71
God should come, he answered
them and said, The kingdom of
00:03:48.74\00:03:51.42
God cometh not with observation:
Neither shall they say, Lo here!
00:03:51.45\00:03:56.03
or, lo there! for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within you.
00:03:56.06\00:04:00.12
And he said unto the
disciples, The days will come,
00:04:00.15\00:04:03.24
when ye shall desire to see one
of the days of the Son of man,
00:04:03.27\00:04:05.93
and ye shall not see it.
00:04:05.96\00:04:07.62
And they shall say to
you, See here; or, see there:
00:04:07.65\00:04:10.81
go not after
them, nor follow them.
00:04:10.84\00:04:13.69
For as the lightning, that
lighteneth out of the one part
00:04:13.72\00:04:17.32
under heaven, shineth unto
the other part under heaven;
00:04:17.35\00:04:20.47
so shall also the
Son of man be in his day.
00:04:20.50\00:04:24.14
But first must he suffer
many things, and be rejected
00:04:24.17\00:04:28.54
of this generation.
00:04:28.57\00:04:29.81
And as it was in the days of
Noah, so shall it be also in the
00:04:29.84\00:04:34.65
days of the Son of man.
00:04:34.68\00:04:35.72
They did eat, they drank, they
married wives, they were given
00:04:35.75\00:04:40.64
in marriage, until the day
that Noah entered into the ark,
00:04:40.67\00:04:43.71
and the flood came,
and destroyed them all.
00:04:43.74\00:04:45.97
Likewise also as it was in
the days of Lot; they did eat,
00:04:46.00\00:04:49.82
they drank, they
bought, they sold, they planted,
00:04:49.85\00:04:52.12
they builded; but the same
day that Lot went out of Sodom
00:04:52.15\00:04:56.12
it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed
00:04:56.15\00:04:59.25
them all.
00:04:59.28\00:05:00.25
Even thus shall it be in the day
when the Son of man is revealed.
00:05:00.26\00:05:04.09
In that day, he which shall be
upon the housetop, and his stuff
00:05:04.12\00:05:08.97
in the house, let him not
come down to take it away:
00:05:09.00\00:05:11.45
and he that is in the field, let
him likewise not return back.
00:05:11.48\00:05:15.63
Remember Lot's wife.
00:05:15.66\00:05:17.22
Whosoever shall seek to
save his life shall lose it;
00:05:17.25\00:05:20.56
and whosoever shall lose
his life shall preserve it.
00:05:20.59\00:05:23.91
I tell you, in that night there
shall be two men in one bed;
00:05:23.94\00:05:28.04
the one shall be taken,
and the other shall be left.
00:05:28.07\00:05:30.88
Two women shall be grinding
together; the one shall be
00:05:30.91\00:05:34.66
taken, and the other left.
00:05:34.69\00:05:36.43
Two men shall be in the
field; the one shall be taken,
00:05:36.46\00:05:40.17
and the other left.
00:05:40.20\00:05:41.53
And they answered and
said unto him, Where Lord?
00:05:41.56\00:05:45.89
And he said unto them,
Wheresoever the body is,
00:05:45.92\00:05:49.81
thither will the
eagles be gathered together.
00:05:49.84\00:05:53.11
I'm reading from the
gospel of Luke, chapter 18.
00:05:53.14\00:05:56.90
And he spake a parable unto
them to this end, that men ought
00:05:56.93\00:06:03.54
always to pray, and not to
faint; saying, There was in a
00:06:03.57\00:06:08.33
city a judge, which feared
not God, neither regarded man:
00:06:08.36\00:06:12.23
and there was a widow in that
city; and she came unto him,
00:06:12.26\00:06:15.61
saying, Avenge me
of mine adversary.
00:06:15.64\00:06:18.11
And he would not for a while:
but afterward he said within
00:06:18.14\00:06:22.76
himself, Though I fear not God,
nor regard man; yet because this
00:06:22.79\00:06:28.21
widow troubleth me, I
will avenge her, lest by her
00:06:28.24\00:06:31.71
continual coming she weary me.
00:06:31.74\00:06:33.89
And the Lord said, Hear
what the unjust judge saith.
00:06:33.92\00:06:38.68
And shall not God avenge his own
elect, which cry day and night
00:06:38.71\00:06:43.89
unto him, though he
bear long with them?
00:06:43.92\00:06:46.30
I tell you that he
will avenge them speedily.
00:06:46.33\00:06:49.36
Nevertheless, when
the Son of man cometh,
00:06:49.39\00:06:52.63
shall he find
faith on the earth?
00:06:52.66\00:06:54.50
And he spake this parable
unto certain which trusted in
00:06:54.53\00:06:59.33
themselves that they were
righteous, and despised others:
00:06:59.36\00:07:03.12
Two men went up into the temple
to pray; the one a Pharisee,
00:07:03.15\00:07:08.42
and the other a publican.
00:07:08.45\00:07:09.88
The Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with himself, God,
00:07:09.91\00:07:14.86
I think thee, that I am not
as other men are, extortioners,
00:07:14.89\00:07:18.53
unjust, adulterers,
or even as this publican.
00:07:18.56\00:07:22.53
I fast twice in the week, I give
tithes of all that I possess.
00:07:22.56\00:07:27.47
And the publican, standing afar
off, would not lift up so much
00:07:27.50\00:07:33.49
as his eyes unto heaven, but
smote upon his breast, saying,
00:07:33.52\00:07:37.43
God be merciful to me a sinner.
00:07:37.46\00:07:39.86
I tell you, this man went down
to his house justified rather
00:07:39.89\00:07:44.98
than the other: for every one
that exalteth himself shall be
00:07:45.01\00:07:49.18
abased; and he that humbleth
himself shall be exalted.
00:07:49.21\00:07:53.22
And they brought unto him also
infants, that he would touch
00:07:53.25\00:07:57.41
them: but when his disciples
saw it, they rebuked them.
00:07:57.44\00:08:00.86
But Jesus called them unto him,
and said, Suffer little children
00:08:00.89\00:08:04.83
to come unto me, and forbid
them not: for of such is the
00:08:04.86\00:08:08.59
kingdom of God.
00:08:08.62\00:08:09.59
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom of
00:08:09.60\00:08:13.22
God as a little child
shall in no wise enter therein.
00:08:13.25\00:08:17.20
And a certain ruler
asked him, saying, Good Master,
00:08:17.23\00:08:21.25
what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?
00:08:21.28\00:08:23.81
And Jesus said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? none is
00:08:23.84\00:08:28.97
good, save one, that is, God.
00:08:29.00\00:08:30.81
Thou knowest the commandments,
Do not commit adultery,
00:08:30.84\00:08:34.33
Do not kill, Do not steal,
00:08:34.36\00:08:36.34
Do not bear false witness,
Honor thy father and thy mother.
00:08:36.37\00:08:39.61
And he said, All these
have I kept from my youth up.
00:08:39.64\00:08:44.25
Now when Jesus heard
these things, he said unto him,
00:08:44.28\00:08:47.93
Yet lackest thou one
thing: sell all that thou hast,
00:08:47.96\00:08:52.75
and distribute unto the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in
00:08:52.78\00:08:55.75
heaven: and come, follow me.
00:08:55.78\00:08:57.47
And when he heard
this, he was very sorrowful:
00:08:57.50\00:09:00.60
for he was very rich.
00:09:00.63\00:09:01.96
And when Jesus saw that he
was very sorrowful, he said,
00:09:01.99\00:09:05.69
How hardly shall they
that have riches enter into the
00:09:05.72\00:09:10.19
kingdom of God!
00:09:10.22\00:09:11.19
For it is easier for a camel
to go through a needle's eye,
00:09:11.20\00:09:14.76
than for a rich man to
enter into the kingdom of God.
00:09:14.79\00:09:17.76
And they that heard it
said, Who then can be saved?
00:09:17.79\00:09:22.04
And he said, The things
which are impossible with men
00:09:22.07\00:09:25.37
are possible with God.
00:09:25.40\00:09:26.70
Then Peter said, Lo, we have
left all, and followed thee.
00:09:26.73\00:09:32.11
And he said unto them, Verily
I say unto you, There is no man
00:09:32.14\00:09:36.57
that hath left house,
or parents, or brethren,
00:09:36.61\00:09:39.51
or wife, or children, for
the kingdom of God's sake,
00:09:39.54\00:09:43.07
who shall not receive manifold
more in this present time,
00:09:43.10\00:09:47.03
and in the world to
come life everlasting.
00:09:47.06\00:09:50.48
Then he took unto him the
twelve, and said unto them,
00:09:50.51\00:09:54.09
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem,
and all things that are written
00:09:54.12\00:09:58.36
by the prophets
concerning the Son of man
00:09:58.39\00:10:00.59
shall be accomplished.
00:10:00.62\00:10:02.15
For he shall be delivered
unto the Gentiles, and shall be
00:10:02.18\00:10:05.80
mocked, and spitefully
entreated, and spitted on:
00:10:05.83\00:10:08.80
and they shall scourge
him, and put him to death;
00:10:08.83\00:10:11.17
and the third day
he shall rise again.
00:10:11.20\00:10:13.90
And they understood none of
these things: and this saying
00:10:13.93\00:10:17.72
was hid from them, neither
knew they the things which
00:10:17.75\00:10:20.34
were spoken.
00:10:20.37\00:10:21.47
And it came to pass, that as
he was come nigh unto Jericho,
00:10:21.50\00:10:25.01
a certain blind man sat by the
way side begging: and hearing
00:10:25.04\00:10:29.63
the multitude pass by,
he asked what it meant.
00:10:29.66\00:10:32.05
And they told him, that
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
00:10:32.08\00:10:35.92
And he cried, saying,
Jesus, thou Son of David,
00:10:35.95\00:10:38.96
have mercy on me.
00:10:38.99\00:10:39.96
And they which went before
rebuked him, that he should hold
00:10:39.97\00:10:43.72
his peace: but he cried so much
the more, Thou Son of David,
00:10:43.75\00:10:48.58
have mercy on me.
00:10:48.61\00:10:49.76
And Jesus stood, and commanded
him to be brought unto him:
00:10:49.79\00:10:53.57
and when he was come near,
he asked him, saying, What wilt
00:10:53.60\00:10:57.52
thou that I shall do unto thee?
00:10:57.55\00:10:59.05
And he said, Lord,
that I may receive my sight.
00:10:59.08\00:11:02.18
And Jesus said unto
him, Receive thy sight:
00:11:02.21\00:11:05.63
thy faith hath saved thee.
00:11:05.66\00:11:07.47
And immediately he received
his sight, and followed him,
00:11:07.51\00:11:11.32
glorifying God: and all
the people, when they saw it,
00:11:11.35\00:11:14.84
gave praise unto God.
00:11:14.87\00:11:16.97
Reading from the
gospel of Luke, chapter 19.
00:11:17.00\00:11:20.42
And Jesus entered and
passed through Jericho.
00:11:20.45\00:11:24.28
And, behold, there was a man
named Zaccheus, which was the
00:11:24.31\00:11:27.71
chief among the
publicans, and he was rich.
00:11:27.74\00:11:30.12
And he sought to see Jesus who
he was; and could not for the
00:11:30.15\00:11:34.44
press, because he
was little of stature.
00:11:34.47\00:11:36.84
And he ran before, and
climbed up into a sycamore tree
00:11:36.87\00:11:40.16
to see him; for he
was to pass that way.
00:11:40.19\00:11:42.52
And when Jesus came to
the place, he looked up,
00:11:42.55\00:11:46.17
and saw him, and said
unto him, Zaccheus, make haste,
00:11:46.20\00:11:49.61
and come down; for today
I must abide at thy house.
00:11:49.64\00:11:52.62
And he made haste, and came
down, and received him joyfully.
00:11:52.65\00:11:56.65
And when they saw it, they all
murmured, saying, That he was
00:11:56.68\00:12:00.54
gone to be guest with
a man that is a sinner.
00:12:00.57\00:12:03.20
And Zaccheus stood, and said
unto the Lord; Behold, Lord,
00:12:03.23\00:12:07.83
the half of my goods I give
to the poor; and if I have taken
00:12:07.86\00:12:11.78
any thing from any man by
false accusation, I restore
00:12:11.81\00:12:15.86
him fourfold.
00:12:15.89\00:12:16.89
And Jesus said unto him, This
day is salvation come to this
00:12:16.92\00:12:22.00
house, forsomuch as he
also is a son of Abraham.
00:12:22.03\00:12:26.67
For the Son of man is
come to seek and to save that
00:12:26.70\00:12:30.43
which was lost.
00:12:30.46\00:12:31.69
And as they heard these things,
he added and spake a parable,
00:12:31.72\00:12:36.02
because he was nigh to
Jerusalem, and because they
00:12:36.05\00:12:38.25
thought that the kingdom of
God should immediately appear.
00:12:38.28\00:12:41.08
He said therefore, A certain
nobleman went into a far country
00:12:41.11\00:12:45.07
to receive for himself
a kingdom, and to return.
00:12:45.10\00:12:48.56
And he called his ten servants,
and delivered them ten pounds,
00:12:48.59\00:12:52.06
and said unto
them, Occupy till I come.
00:12:52.09\00:12:54.73
But his citizens hated him,
and sent a message after him,
00:12:54.76\00:12:58.53
saying We will not have
this man to reign over us.
00:12:58.56\00:13:01.28
And it came to pass, that when
he was returned, having received
00:13:01.31\00:13:04.91
the kingdom, then he commanded
these servants to be called unto
00:13:04.94\00:13:08.04
him, to whom he had given the
money, that he might know how
00:13:08.07\00:13:11.08
much every man
had gained by trading.
00:13:11.11\00:13:12.97
Then came the first, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained
00:13:13.00\00:13:16.77
ten pounds.
00:13:16.80\00:13:17.77
And he said unto him, Well,
thou good servant: because thou
00:13:17.78\00:13:22.17
hast been faithful in a
very little, have thou authority
00:13:22.20\00:13:25.03
over ten cities.
00:13:25.06\00:13:26.57
And the second came, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained
00:13:26.60\00:13:30.40
five pounds.
00:13:30.43\00:13:31.40
And he said likewise to him,
Be thou also over five cities.
00:13:31.41\00:13:35.37
And another came, saying,
Lord, behold, here is thy pound,
00:13:35.40\00:13:38.76
which I have kept laid up
in a napkin: for I feared thee,
00:13:38.79\00:13:42.66
because thou art an austere man:
thou takest up that thou layedst
00:13:42.69\00:13:46.29
not down, and reapest
that thou didst not sow.
00:13:46.32\00:13:49.46
And he saith unto him,
Out of thine own mouth will I
00:13:49.49\00:13:52.63
judge thee, thou wicked servant.
00:13:52.66\00:13:54.21
Thou knewest that I was an
austere man, taking up that I
00:13:54.24\00:13:57.63
laid not down, and reaping that
I did not sow: wherefore then
00:13:57.66\00:14:01.44
gavest not thou my money into
the bank, that at my coming I
00:14:01.47\00:14:04.58
might have required
mine own with usury?
00:14:04.61\00:14:06.53
And he said unto them that stood
by, Take from him the pound,
00:14:06.56\00:14:09.70
and give it to him
that hath ten pounds.
00:14:09.74\00:14:11.67
And they said unto Him,
Lord he hath ten pounds.
00:14:11.70\00:14:14.89
For I say unto you, that unto
every one which hath shall be
00:14:14.93\00:14:18.47
given; and from him that hath
not, even that he hath shall be
00:14:18.50\00:14:22.22
taken away from him.
00:14:22.25\00:14:23.33
But those mine enemies, which
would not that I should reign
00:14:23.36\00:14:26.76
over them, bring
hither, and slay them before me.
00:14:26.79\00:14:30.09
And when he had thus
spoken, he went before,
00:14:30.12\00:14:32.75
ascending up to Jerusalem.
00:14:32.78\00:14:34.45
Goodbye.
00:14:34.48\00:14:35.45
