Hello, and welcome
back to His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.21\00:00:18.31
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you
for coming apart with me right
00:00:18.34\00:00:22.07
now to read the
word of God together.
00:00:22.10\00:00:23.60
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:23.63\00:00:25.24
Dear God, we want to come into
Your presence in a special and
00:00:25.27\00:00:31.14
very conscious way right now
to sit at Your feet, and to be
00:00:31.17\00:00:34.43
taught from Your word the things
that we need to live a life
00:00:34.46\00:00:40.00
pleasing in Your eyes, and the
life that You have created us to
00:00:40.03\00:00:43.48
live to Your glory.
00:00:43.51\00:00:44.61
Please be with
us now and teach us.
00:00:44.64\00:00:46.72
Amen.
00:00:46.75\00:00:47.72
We're reading in
the book of Deuteronomy.
00:00:47.73\00:00:50.47
Moses has brought the children
of Israel together to review
00:00:50.50\00:00:54.52
with them various promises
and commands, and the history of
00:00:54.55\00:00:58.84
God's
deliverance in their lives.
00:00:58.88\00:01:00.44
And across the top of my Bible
page right now it says that the
00:01:00.47\00:01:04.32
section we're reading today
is the words of the covenant:
00:01:04.35\00:01:07.27
the covenant that God
wishes to make with Israel,
00:01:07.30\00:01:09.82
and the covenant that he extends
to us as spiritual Israel
00:01:09.85\00:01:12.97
in many cases.
00:01:13.00\00:01:13.97
Let's continue to read together
Deuteronomy, chapter 28,
00:01:13.98\00:01:17.72
starting with verse 60, and
this is the King James Version.
00:01:17.75\00:01:22.54
Moreover he will bring upon
thee all the diseases of Egypt,
00:01:22.58\00:01:26.73
which thou wast afraid of;
and they shall cleave unto thee.
00:01:26.76\00:01:29.34
Also every sickness, and every
plague, which is not written in
00:01:29.37\00:01:32.28
the book of this law, them
will the Lord bring upon thee,
00:01:32.31\00:01:35.36
until thou be destroyed.
00:01:35.39\00:01:36.78
And ye shall be left few in
number, whereas ye were as the
00:01:36.81\00:01:40.76
stars of heaven for multitude;
because thou wouldest not obey
00:01:40.79\00:01:44.73
the voice of the Lord thy God.
00:01:44.77\00:01:46.70
And it shall come to pass, that
as the Lord rejoiced over you to
00:01:46.73\00:01:51.15
do you good, and to multiply
you; so the Lord will rejoice
00:01:51.18\00:01:54.93
over you to destroy you,
and to bring you to nought;
00:01:54.96\00:01:57.30
and ye shall be plucked from
off the land whither thou goest
00:01:57.33\00:02:00.29
to possess it.
00:02:00.32\00:02:01.29
And the Lord shall scatter thee
among all people, from the one
00:02:01.30\00:02:05.52
end of the earth even unto
the other; and there thou shalt
00:02:05.55\00:02:08.07
serve other gods, which neither
thou nor thy fathers have known,
00:02:08.10\00:02:11.47
even wood and stone.
00:02:11.50\00:02:13.42
And among these nations shalt
thou find no ease, neither shall
00:02:13.45\00:02:17.51
the sole of thy foot have rest:
but the Lord shall give thee
00:02:17.54\00:02:21.22
there a trembling heart,
and failing of eyes, and sorrow
00:02:21.25\00:02:25.92
of mind: and thy life
shall hang in doubt before thee;
00:02:25.95\00:02:30.99
and thou shalt fear day
and night, and shalt have none
00:02:31.02\00:02:34.98
assurance of thy life: in
the morning thou shalt say,
00:02:35.01\00:02:39.28
Would God it were even! and at
even thou shalt say, Would God
00:02:39.31\00:02:43.25
it were morning! for the fear of
thine heart wherewith thou shalt
00:02:43.28\00:02:46.75
fear, and for the sight of
thine eyes which thou shalt see.
00:02:46.78\00:02:49.43
And the Lord shall bring thee
into Egypt again with ships,
00:02:49.46\00:02:53.22
by the way whereof I spake unto
thee, Thou shalt see it no more
00:02:53.25\00:02:57.02
again: and there ye shall
be sold unto your enemies for
00:02:57.05\00:03:01.04
bondmen and bondwomen,
and no man shall buy you.
00:03:01.07\00:03:05.30
We're continuing in chapter
29 of the book of Deuteronomy,
00:03:05.33\00:03:09.18
and this is the
King James Version.
00:03:09.21\00:03:10.83
These are the words of
the covenant, which the Lord
00:03:10.86\00:03:14.80
commanded Moses to make with the
children of Israel in the land
00:03:14.83\00:03:17.68
of Moab, besides the
covenant which he made with
00:03:17.71\00:03:20.42
them in Horeb.
00:03:20.45\00:03:21.42
And Moses called unto all
Israel, and said unto them,
00:03:21.43\00:03:25.17
Ye have seen all that the Lord
did before your eyes in the land
00:03:25.20\00:03:28.84
of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto
all his servants, and unto all
00:03:28.87\00:03:32.16
his land; the great temptations
which thine eyes have seen,
00:03:32.19\00:03:36.02
the signs, and those great
miracles: yet the Lord hath not
00:03:36.05\00:03:39.86
given you a heart to
perceive, and eyes to see,
00:03:39.89\00:03:42.20
and ears to hear, unto this day.
00:03:42.23\00:03:44.73
And I have led you forty years
in the wilderness: your clothes
00:03:44.76\00:03:48.38
are not waxen old upon you,
and thy shoe is not waxen old
00:03:48.41\00:03:51.57
upon thy foot.
00:03:51.60\00:03:52.57
Ye have not eaten bread, neither
have ye drunk wine or strong
00:03:52.58\00:03:55.90
drink: that ye might know
that I am the Lord Your God.
00:03:55.93\00:04:00.05
And when ye came unto
this place, Sihon the king of
00:04:00.08\00:04:03.60
Heshbon, and Og the king of
Bashan, came out against us unto
00:04:03.63\00:04:06.42
battle, and we smote them: and
we took their land, and gave it
00:04:06.45\00:04:10.62
for an inheritance unto the
Reubenites, and to the Gadites,
00:04:10.65\00:04:13.16
and to the half
tribe of Manasseh.
00:04:13.19\00:04:14.85
Keep therefore the words
of this covenant, and do them,
00:04:14.88\00:04:18.33
that ye may
prosper in all that ye do.
00:04:18.36\00:04:20.85
Ye stand this day all of
you before the Lord your God;
00:04:20.88\00:04:25.85
your captains of your tribes,
your elders, and your officers,
00:04:25.88\00:04:30.15
with all the men of Israel, your
little ones, your wives, and thy
00:04:30.18\00:04:32.99
stranger that is in thy camp,
from the hewer of thy wood unto
00:04:33.02\00:04:36.45
the drawer of thy water:
that thou shouldest enter into
00:04:36.48\00:04:40.05
covenant with the Lord thy God,
and into his oath, which the
00:04:40.08\00:04:43.41
Lord thy God maketh with thee
this day: that he may establish
00:04:43.44\00:04:47.49
thee today for a people
unto himself, and that he may be
00:04:47.52\00:04:51.77
unto thee a God, as he hath said
unto thee, and as he hath sworn
00:04:51.80\00:04:55.70
unto thy fathers, to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
00:04:55.73\00:04:58.71
Neither with you only do I make
this covenant and this oath;
00:04:58.74\00:05:02.03
but with him that standeth here
with us this day before the Lord
00:05:02.06\00:05:04.95
our God, and also with him that
is not here with us this day:
00:05:04.98\00:05:07.53
(For ye know how we have dwelt
in the land of Egypt; and how we
00:05:07.56\00:05:10.86
came through the nations which
ye passed by; and ye have seen
00:05:10.89\00:05:13.61
their abominations, and
their idols, wood and stone,
00:05:13.64\00:05:16.93
silver and gold, which were
among them:) lest there should
00:05:16.96\00:05:20.11
be among you man, or woman,
or family, or tribe, whose heart
00:05:20.14\00:05:23.30
turneth away this day from the
Lord our God, to go and serve
00:05:23.33\00:05:26.79
the gods of these nations; lest
there should be among you a root
00:05:26.82\00:05:30.47
that beareth gall and wormwood;
and it come to pass, when he
00:05:30.50\00:05:34.69
heareth the words of this curse,
that he bless himself in his
00:05:34.72\00:05:37.60
heart, saying, I shall
have peace, though I walk in the
00:05:37.63\00:05:40.66
imagination of mine heart,
to add drunkenness to thirst:
00:05:40.69\00:05:43.47
the Lord will not spare him, but
then the anger of the Lord and
00:05:43.50\00:05:47.36
his jealousy shall smoke against
that man, and all the curses
00:05:47.39\00:05:50.84
that are written in this book
shall lie upon him, and the Lord
00:05:50.87\00:05:53.60
shall blot out his
name from under heaven.
00:05:53.63\00:05:56.29
And the Lord shall separate him
unto evil out of all the tribes
00:05:56.32\00:06:00.24
of Israel, according to all the
curses of the covenant that are
00:06:00.27\00:06:02.95
written in this book of the law:
so that the generation to come
00:06:02.98\00:06:06.60
of your children that shall rise
up after you, and the stranger
00:06:06.63\00:06:10.10
that shall come from a far land,
shall say, when they see the
00:06:10.13\00:06:13.75
plagues of that land, and the
sicknesses which the Lord hath
00:06:13.78\00:06:16.63
laid upon it; and that the
whole land thereof is brimstone,
00:06:16.66\00:06:19.97
and salt, and burning, that
it is not sown, nor beareth,
00:06:20.00\00:06:23.48
nor any grass groweth therein,
like the overthrow of Sodom and
00:06:23.51\00:06:26.69
Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim,
which the Lord overthrew in his
00:06:26.72\00:06:29.92
anger, and in his wrath: even
all nations shall say, Wherefore
00:06:29.95\00:06:35.22
hath the Lord done thus
unto this land? what meaneth the
00:06:35.26\00:06:38.80
heat of this great anger?
00:06:38.83\00:06:40.49
Then men shall say, Because they
have forsaken the covenant of
00:06:40.52\00:06:45.37
the Lord God of their fathers,
which he made with them when he
00:06:45.40\00:06:48.18
brought them forth out of
the land of Egypt: for they went
00:06:48.21\00:06:51.41
and served other gods, and
worshiped them, gods whom they
00:06:51.44\00:06:55.18
knew not, and whom he had not
given unto them: and the anger
00:06:55.21\00:06:59.25
of the Lord was kindled against
this land, to bring upon it all
00:06:59.28\00:07:02.69
the curses that are written in
this book: and the Lord rooted
00:07:02.72\00:07:05.77
them out of their land in anger,
and in wrath, and in great
00:07:05.80\00:07:08.17
indignation, and cast
them into another land,
00:07:08.21\00:07:10.36
as it is this day.
00:07:10.39\00:07:12.30
The secret things belong
unto the Lord our God: but those
00:07:12.33\00:07:16.65
those things which are revealed
belong unto us and to our
00:07:16.68\00:07:20.12
children for ever, that we may
do all the words of this law.
00:07:20.15\00:07:25.46
We're continuing
to read the word.
00:07:25.49\00:07:27.75
This is Deuteronomy, chapter 30.
00:07:27.78\00:07:30.69
And it shall come to pass, when
all these things are come upon
00:07:30.72\00:07:35.00
thee, the blessing and the
curse, which I have set before
00:07:35.03\00:07:38.14
thee, and thou shalt call them
to mind among all the nations,
00:07:38.17\00:07:42.11
whither the Lord thy God hath
driven thee, and shalt return
00:07:42.14\00:07:45.22
unto the Lord thy God, and shalt
obey his voice according to all
00:07:45.25\00:07:48.83
that I command thee this day,
thou and thy children, with all
00:07:48.86\00:07:52.39
thine heart, and with all thy
soul; that then the Lord thy God
00:07:52.42\00:07:56.92
will turn thy captivity,
and have compassion upon thee,
00:07:56.95\00:08:00.69
and will return and gather
thee from all the nations,
00:08:00.72\00:08:03.87
whither the Lord thy
God hath scattered thee.
00:08:03.90\00:08:05.96
If any of thine be driven
out unto the outmost parts of
00:08:05.99\00:08:09.75
heaven, from thence will
the Lord thy God gather thee,
00:08:09.78\00:08:12.90
and from thence will he fetch
thee: and the Lord thy God will
00:08:12.93\00:08:16.78
bring thee into the land
which thy fathers possessed,
00:08:16.81\00:08:19.30
and thou shalt possess
it; and he will do thee good,
00:08:19.33\00:08:22.47
and multiply thee
above thy fathers.
00:08:22.50\00:08:25.94
And the Lord thy God
will circumcise thine heart,
00:08:25.97\00:08:29.25
and the heart of thy seed, to
love the Lord thy God with all
00:08:29.28\00:08:33.73
thine heart, and with all
thy soul, that thou mayest live.
00:08:33.76\00:08:37.55
And the Lord thy God will
put all these curses upon thine
00:08:37.58\00:08:41.14
enemies, and on them that hate
thee, which persecuted thee.
00:08:41.17\00:08:44.27
And thou shalt return and
obey the voice of the Lord,
00:08:44.30\00:08:47.68
and do all his commandments
which I command thee this day.
00:08:47.71\00:08:50.56
And the Lord thy God will make
thee plenteous in every work of
00:08:50.59\00:08:54.79
thine hand, in the fruit of thy
body, and in the fruit of thy
00:08:54.82\00:08:57.36
cattle, and in the fruit of
thy land, for good: for the Lord
00:08:57.39\00:09:00.93
will again rejoice over thee for
good, as he rejoiced over thy
00:09:00.96\00:09:05.67
fathers: if thou shalt hearken
unto the voice of the Lord thy
00:09:05.70\00:09:09.50
God, to keep his commandments
and his statutes which are
00:09:09.53\00:09:12.67
written in this book of the law,
and if thou turn unto the Lord
00:09:12.70\00:09:16.15
thy god with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul.
00:09:16.18\00:09:18.79
For this commandment which I
command thee this day, it is not
00:09:18.82\00:09:22.74
hidden from thee,
neither is it far off.
00:09:22.77\00:09:25.59
It is not in heaven, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go up
00:09:25.62\00:09:29.13
for us to heaven,
and bring it unto us,
00:09:29.16\00:09:31.01
that we may hear it, and do it?
00:09:31.05\00:09:32.91
Neither is it beyond the
sea, that thou shouldest say,
00:09:32.94\00:09:36.49
Who shall go over the sea
for us, and bring it unto us,
00:09:36.52\00:09:38.96
that we may hear it, and do it?
00:09:38.99\00:09:40.32
But the word is very
nigh unto thee, in thy mouth,
00:09:40.35\00:09:44.97
and in thy heart,
that thou mayest do it.
00:09:45.00\00:09:48.87
See, I have set before
thee this day life and good,
00:09:48.90\00:09:54.16
and death and evil; in that
I command thee this day to love
00:09:54.19\00:09:59.60
the Lord thy God, to walk
in his ways, and to keep his
00:09:59.63\00:10:03.21
commandments, and his statutes,
and his judgments, that thou
00:10:03.24\00:10:06.78
mayest live and multiply:
and the Lord thy God shall bless
00:10:06.81\00:10:11.08
thee in the land whither
thou goest to posseses it.
00:10:11.11\00:10:13.79
But if thine heart turn away,
so that thou wilt not hear,
00:10:13.82\00:10:18.26
but shalt be drawn
away, and worship other gods,
00:10:18.29\00:10:21.23
and serve them; I denounce
unto you this day, that ye shall
00:10:21.26\00:10:25.17
surely perish, and that ye shall
not prolong your days upon the
00:10:25.20\00:10:28.89
land, whither thou passest
over Jordan to go to possess it.
00:10:28.92\00:10:31.74
I call heaven and earth to
record this day against you,
00:10:31.77\00:10:35.50
that I have set before you life
and death, blessing and cursing:
00:10:35.53\00:10:41.03
therefore choose life, that
both thou and thy seed may live:
00:10:41.06\00:10:48.20
That thou mayest love the Lord
thy God, and that thou mayest
00:10:48.23\00:10:51.51
obey his voice, and that thou
mayest cleave unto him: for he
00:10:51.54\00:10:55.85
is thy life, and the length
of thy days: that thou mayest
00:10:55.88\00:10:59.75
dwell in the land which the
Lord sware unto thy fathers,
00:10:59.78\00:11:02.38
to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob, to give them.
00:11:02.41\00:11:05.53
Continuing with
Deuteronomy, chapter 31.
00:11:05.56\00:11:08.77
This is the King James Version.
00:11:08.80\00:11:10.41
And Moses went and spake
these words unto all Israel.
00:11:10.44\00:11:15.44
And he said unto them, I am
an hundred and twenty years old
00:11:15.47\00:11:18.21
this day; I can no more go out
and come in: also the Lord hath
00:11:18.24\00:11:22.33
said unto me, Thou
shalt not go over this Jordan.
00:11:22.36\00:11:24.93
The Lord thy God, he will go
over before thee, and he will
00:11:24.96\00:11:28.58
destroy these nations from
before thee, and thou shalt
00:11:28.61\00:11:31.41
possess them: and Joshua,
he shall go over before thee,
00:11:31.44\00:11:35.11
as the Lord hath said.
00:11:35.14\00:11:36.15
And the Lord shall do unto them
as he did to Sihon and to Og,
00:11:36.18\00:11:40.34
kings of the Amorites,
and unto the land of them,
00:11:40.37\00:11:42.98
whom he destroyed.
00:11:43.01\00:11:44.13
And the Lord shall give them up
before your face, that ye may do
00:11:44.16\00:11:47.84
unto them according unto all
the commandments which I have
00:11:47.87\00:11:50.45
commanded you.
00:11:50.48\00:11:51.45
Be strong and of a good courage,
fear not, nor be afraid of them:
00:11:51.46\00:11:56.70
for the Lord thy God, he
it is that doth go with thee;
00:11:56.73\00:12:01.41
he will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee.
00:12:01.44\00:12:04.38
And Moses called unto Joshua,
and said unto him in the sight
00:12:04.41\00:12:08.36
of all Israel, Be strong and
of a good courage: for thou must
00:12:08.39\00:12:12.89
go with this people unto the
land which the Lord hath sworn
00:12:12.92\00:12:15.61
unto their fathers to give
them; and thou shalt cause them
00:12:15.64\00:12:18.72
to inherit it.
00:12:18.75\00:12:19.72
And the Lord, he it is that doth
go before thee, he will be with
00:12:19.73\00:12:25.00
thee, he will not fail thee,
neither forsake thee: fear not,
00:12:25.03\00:12:28.24
neither be dismayed.
00:12:28.27\00:12:29.86
And Moses wrote this law, and
delivered it unto the priests
00:12:29.89\00:12:33.47
the sons of Levi, which bare the
ark of the covenant of the Lord,
00:12:33.50\00:12:36.39
and unto all the
elders of Israel.
00:12:36.42\00:12:38.32
And Moses commanded them,
saying, At the end of every
00:12:38.35\00:12:41.38
seven years, in the solemnity
of the year of release,
00:12:41.41\00:12:44.14
in the feast of tabernacles,
when all Israel is come to
00:12:44.17\00:12:47.50
appear before the Lord thy
God in the place which he shall
00:12:47.53\00:12:50.24
choose, thou shalt read
this law before all Israel
00:12:50.27\00:12:54.40
in their hearing.
00:12:54.43\00:12:55.40
Gather the people together,
men, and women, and children,
00:12:55.41\00:12:58.54
and thy stranger that is within
thy gates, that they may hear,
00:12:58.57\00:13:01.82
and that they may learn,
and fear the Lord your God,
00:13:01.85\00:13:04.74
and observe to do all the words
of this law: and that their
00:13:04.77\00:13:09.67
children, which have not known
any thing, may hear, and learn
00:13:09.70\00:13:13.11
to fear the Lord your God,
as long as ye live in the land
00:13:13.14\00:13:16.05
whither ye go over
Jordan to possess it.
00:13:16.08\00:13:18.35
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Behold, thy days approach that
00:13:18.38\00:13:23.37
thou must die: call Joshua,
and present yourselves in the
00:13:23.40\00:13:26.62
tabernacle of the congregation,
that I may give him a charge.
00:13:26.65\00:13:30.31
And Moses and Joshua went,
and presented themselves in the
00:13:30.34\00:13:33.90
tabernacle of the congregation.
00:13:33.93\00:13:35.37
And the Lord appeared in
the tabernacle in a pillar of a
00:13:35.40\00:13:38.48
cloud: and the pillar of
the cloud stood over the door
00:13:38.51\00:13:41.21
of the tabernacle.
00:13:41.39\00:13:42.36
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Behold, thou shalt sleep with
00:13:42.37\00:13:46.02
thy fathers; and this people
will rise up, and go whoring
00:13:46.05\00:13:50.25
after the gods of the strangers
of the land, whither they go to
00:13:50.28\00:13:53.22
be among them, and will forsake
me, and break my covenant which
00:13:53.25\00:13:56.41
I have made with them.
00:13:56.44\00:13:57.52
then my anger shall be kindled
against them in that day,
00:13:57.55\00:14:00.63
and I will forsake them,
and I will hide my face from
00:14:00.66\00:14:02.93
them, and they shall be
devoured, and many evils and
00:14:02.96\00:14:06.00
troubles shall befall them; so
that they will say in that day,
00:14:06.03\00:14:09.05
Are not these evils come
upon us, because our God is
00:14:09.08\00:14:11.90
not among us?
00:14:11.93\00:14:12.90
And I will surely hide my face
in that day for all the evils
00:14:12.91\00:14:16.21
which they shall have wrought,
in that they are turned unto
00:14:16.24\00:14:20.07
other gods.
00:14:20.10\00:14:21.12
Now therefore write ye
this song for you, and teach it
00:14:21.15\00:14:25.35
the children of Israel: put it
in their mouths, that this song
00:14:25.38\00:14:28.60
may be a witness for me
against the children of Israel.
00:14:28.63\00:14:31.92
Thank you for
joining with me today.
00:14:31.95\00:14:34.21
Goodbye.
