A new chapter - with a new mishnah! If you sell a house without specifying that attachments or annexes to the house are included in the sale, then they are not included. The Gemara addresses these "attachments" and what happens when they are cisterns, for example, of a size of 4 amot - because smaller than 4 amot would be included in the sale, according to Mar Zutra.

Today, we continue the theme of seeking rest and help from God by considering how we can all turn from God as the source of our rest and strength, and turn to idols.

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Dan Taylor Scripture reference Jeremiah 2:1-13 Israel Forsakes God 2 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: “This is what the Lord says: “‘I remember the devotion of your youth,     how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the wilderness,     through a land not sown. 3 Israel was holy to the Lord,     the firstfruits of his harvest; all who devoured her were held guilty,     and disaster overtook them,'” declares the Lord. 4 Hear the word of the Lord, you descendants of Jacob,     all you clans of Israel. 5 This is what the Lord says: “What fault did your ancestors find in me,     that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols     and became worthless themselves. 6 They did not ask, ‘Where is the Lord,     who brought us up out of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness,     through a land of deserts and ravines, a land of drought and utter darkness,     a land where no one travels and no one lives?' 7 I brought you into a fertile land     to eat its fruit and rich produce. But you came and defiled my land     and made my inheritance detestable. 8 The priests did not ask,     ‘Where is the Lord?' Those who deal with the law did not know me;     the leaders rebelled against me. The prophets prophesied by Baal,     following worthless idols. 9 “Therefore I bring charges against you again,” declares the Lord.     “And I will bring charges against your children's children. 10 Cross over to the coasts of Cyprus and look,     send to Kedar[a] and observe closely;     see if there has ever been anything like this: 11 Has a nation ever changed its gods?     (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God     for worthless idols. 12 Be appalled at this, you heavens,     and shudder with great horror,” declares the Lord. 13 “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me,     the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns,     broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

Most of the good things in your life came because God put someone in your life before you, and the more you know it to be true, the more thankful, and joyful and fruitful you become.

A case of an ox that falls into a 6-tephachim deep irrigation ditch, which injured it, perhaps fatally. Plus, a new mishnah about a pit that has 2 owners - and their respective liabilities. Where the order of their actions makes a difference in terms of obligation to pay. And which ends up being a very specific case. Also, the discussion shifts to filling bottles with water that they both can draw and then the old discussion of "bereirah," designations that help define responsibility.

Here's Apostle Priji sharing the Word of God at HISnearness Church, on how we have to be persistent and consistent is pursing the fresh love of Jesus. Be Blessed.

Time and time again throughout the Old Testament, we see the Israelites turn away from God to find satisfaction in other things, and time and time again, we see that it ends badly for them. That's because the only true satisfaction we'll ever find is in God alone. But the Israelites weren't the only ones to make that mistake; we do it too, building our own "cisterns" that ultimately crack and leak while God, the Fountain of Life, is waiting all along for us to come to Him.

In the Old Testament we see that the Israelites had turned from God to find satisfaction in other things and that did not work out well for them. We often do that in our own lives, building our own cisterns to hold water that falls through the cracks and holes while God, the fountain of life, is waiting for us all along.

Welcome to the “What does God say to you? Podcast”.  This podcast's purpose is to make the Bible relevant to everyday living.My heart is to help you have a close relationship with God, to know him and to know his will for your life through understanding his holy word, the Bible. I believe that God's word is manual for living. I have found clues to help us receive and achieve; according to 3 John 1:2, God wants all his children to be healthy and prosper. A life of fulfillment, contentment, and blessings can be ours.This episode is titled "Having a Personal Revival". If you feel led to support this ministry, I thank you in advance. There is a link in the show notes, the description box, or somewhere on this page with the podcast.We talked about the power of praise, and I said, there's a lot to this, and I'm going to stick with this, and we're going to break it up. And even just one little section of what I talked about could be an entire teaching sermon. So last week was a power praise. And this is what the foundation of the whole thing was. It was about David, who was in the wilderness, very upset and not happy. Life was not easy for him. He was called by God. He was a very good man. There was no justification for the king to be so against him and for him to have to be fearful for his life, but that was the circumstances. That was the circumstance for him. And so this is a portion of Psalms, and it's Psalm 42–43. So this is his cry to God, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God.” my soul thirst for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God? So he's saying, I want you, I need you so much. It's like water to the human body. My tears have been my meat, day and night. While they continually say unto me, where is the God? My tears have been my meat day and night. In other words, he's crying all the time. He's not happy. While they continually say unto me, where is your God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me. For I had gone with the multitude. I went with them to the houses of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day. So he remembers the past there. Why aren't thou cast my soul? Now he's asking himself this question. And why are you disquieted within me? Hope thy in God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance? So he's reminding himself, what are you worried about? You know who God is. You know what he is to you.Now, what does he do again? Oh my God, my soul is cast down within me. Therefore, I will remember them from the land of Jordan and of the hematites and the hill of Mizvah, deep calls unto deep at the noise of thy water spouse, all thy waves and I billows are gone over me.So in that one instance, he remembers Noah and how he delivered Noah from the depths of the water. Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime and the night. His song shall be with me and my prayer unto the God of my life, I will say unto my rock, why has thou forgotten to me? Why do I mourn because of the oppression of the enemy? He is so flip-flopping, and he isn't flip-flopping in faith here; he's flip-flopping in emotion. Sometimes we just can't help the emotion that's going on in our lives because of the turmoil that's coming in. But we wanna keep it in check. And this is what he's doing here. We're seeing a real man in faith experiencing real circumstances  Because we tend to think that people from the Bible were so different from us. They weren't so different from us.The biggest difference between them from us, it was their training. So let's see, I will say unto God, my rock, I read that already, as with the sword in my bones. My enemy reproaches me while they say daily unto me, where is your God? So he's distressed here. Why now, again, what does he say? He's going in with his distresses. And what he says is to keep it. He's continuing to keep a check on what's going on there. Why art thou cast down, oh, my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God for I shall yet praise him. Who is the health of the count? It's and my God, judge me.So this is going on to the next chapter, which should, in my opinion, have been one complete chapter because of this continual verse that is threaded throughout.Judge me, oh God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Deliver me from the deceitful and just man. Now he's saying a prayer, Very different than mine, I am cast down. I am so upset. It's like a sword in my bones. He said, Pray there for thou, my God, of my strength. Why does outcast me off? Why go am I mourning before the oppressor's oppression of the enemy? Oh, send thy light and thy truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me unto thy holy hill and the tabernacles, then will I go unto the altar of God, of God unto God, my exceeding joy ye up upon the heart. Will I praise the oh God, my God. So now, at any of this time, though, with all of this upsetness that he has, is he blaming God?Is he saying I trusted you my whole life? I've been this, and I've been that? Nope, he isn't doing that.He's acknowledging his emotions, and he's feeling them. And then he's rebuking them, he's feeling them, and then he's rebuking them, and he's continually bringing back. Then, shall I go onto the altar of God? God, my exceeding joy? He's not saying, oh God, what are you doing to me? Nowhere did he say, what are you doing to me? He did say, why do you cast me out?These are all just human emotions going on here. Now, what does he do at the end there? Remember, he says my God might exceed joy, even when all these people are saying to him, where's your God now? Where's your God? Look at you out here in the wilderness. Oh yeah, you were the king. You were the king, right? All of that stuff, I think, was easy. It wasn't easy. Why art did thou cast down on my soul? So listen, what do we need to do? See, we need to look at the Bible and find examples and learn what to do. So when you're upset, what do you do?You talk to yourself. That's what you do because that part of you that is completely contrary to what God says that's not you. That's your flesh; that's your circumstances rumbling around in that in that carnal mind, a virus. That's what that, that's not you, because is he talking to him?  Who is talking?Here's, there's a better way to say it. Who is talking to himself? Is his flesh talking to himself? No. His spirit is talking to his flesh where body, soul, and spirit. We wanna make sure that our spirit is the strongest thing. Because if it's not, then the body, the flesh, is going to be the one that has all of the authority.So you talk to yourself. Why are, are you upset?  Why are you cast down? Oh my soul, why are you cast down? And why are you disquieted? Why is there all of this turmoil in your heart?Hope in God. So what are you gonna do, hope in God for? Guess what I'm gonna do? I am going to yet praise him.Who is the health of my countenance? He is, my God. Now there was another verse that we went into of that. There was a sacrifice of praise. See in Hebrews 13:15, it says, by him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God when continually So does that mean when things are good and bad?Yep. Now, is it a sacrifice? When everything like, in his position where he was in, it was a sacrifice to give praise. Because it was not easy. He did not want to; you don't want to sacrifice. Anything that you give that you want to give is not a sacrifice.What you give that you don't wanna give. Mothers and fathers, you experience this. Anybody that has anybody very dear to them has experienced this where we will sacrifice something on our end to bless somebody else. Like, yeah, I did wanna go on that trip, but so-and-so needs me. I think I'm gonna postpone it. See? that's a sacrifice. Does it mean it's bad? Absolutely not. It just means that it is; so here,  it that there is, we are made aware that there are sometimes when we sacrifice in praise, and whenever that happens, it's when we don't wanna do it; things aren't for right. God continually, that is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name.Now, the fruit of our lips, another study that we'll get into the fruit of our lips is what's in your heart.That's the fruit of your lips. Like you plant a peach pit and do a season, the peach comes. That is the fruit of the tree. You know, you can't plant an apple pit or an apple seed and grow a peach tree. A lot of little clues. Do we do what David did? Because we can see what was the fruit of his lips.There's a verse that says, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So what is the fruit of our lips? We wanna train this.There's another verse.  I'm gonna ask God to just bring it to me because I'd like to be able to remember it and share it. To receive prayer, there was a big, big proponent of praise involved in having prayer answered. Now, I was struggling with what to call this today. And so what I decided to go with here is initiating a personal awakening. Like we don't have to wait for this great big awakening to happen in the United States or in the world or anything like that, in a portion of the world. That kind of like grows throughout the land because we've seen them before. If you look it up in history, there have been awakenings. I think there's been three of them. And it's when people of God have, and I'm talking about, there have been awakenings in the Old Testament and that kind of thing I'm talking about in our history.But the point of this is that whenever there was an awakening, like a realization coming back to God, there were always these miracles that were part of them. And major change for individuals, major change for neighborhoods, a major change for states' neighborhoods, and a  major change for the country. And absolute miracles, like people, are being raised from the debt, people standing up and walking that couldn't walk before. But we don't have to wait for an awakening. We can have a personal awakening. And that's kind of like what I wanna get into here.The other thing I'm just gonna call this was answered prayer. Answered prayer.  So the first thing we have got to come to terms with  is that everything good comes from God.If you're experiencing anything negative that is hurtful, that is anything that you would consider that you would call law enforcement on and report that is not from God. In other words, you got into a car accident; you have a major illness. Now, I know that there are religions that teach this. It is absolutely not biblical. There is no biblical standard for that. You look, you find it, and you talk to me about it because it's not there.I'm not saying that bad things don't happen to good people; yes, they do, but I am saying that those bad things did not come from God. And the reason that we have to come to terms with that is that if we believe that that affliction that I have, that prayer answered, that that prayer that I have that I want to be answered has is that the problem is there because God put it there.Well, there's always gonna be this chance that he isn't answering it, right? Because he wants it there. So, in that case, your faith can never be solid. Never. Because in the back of your mind, part of you is going to be thinking, well, maybe this is God's will.The word says without faith, we cannot please God. Jesus Christ, while he was here on earth, could not perform miracles. When a person did not believe a whole neighborhood did not receive much healing. When he was there, it said that he healed a few sick folks because he was the carpenter's son. They just saw him as a regular guy. Who the heck are you? There was no faith there. So he couldn't do it. So it isn't like if you're powerful enough, you'll get it. Nope. Consistently, he said, your faith has made you whole.So if we are going to believe that God gave us something detrimental, there's always gonna be that little waning piece of faith that is not hooked up. And in that case, it's going to be nearly impossible to receive an answer from God unless you have those moments of, I know he wants this for me, and you've come to that con conclusion for any specific thing.But on the whole, if we believe that bad things come from God to teach us something, to tempt us in any way, then we are going; what's happening is we are not standing on what the word of God says.And remember that one verse that we talked about last week, if you were with me last week, it says, submit yourself unto God. Resist the devil, how do you submit yourself to God? You've gotta know what it is to submit to, right?You submit yourself to your parents when you were a child; be home at this time. Don't eat this, this junk food. it's an obeyance. So that's something that we've gotta do.Now what I wanna know is, are we missing something? What's going on for the people of God?What's going on for you and me? Who are the daughters and sons of the most high? God says all the silver and gold are his. It says, in the world will have tribulation be of good comfort. I've overcome the world. He wishes above all things in 3 John, I think it is that we'd be in that we, he wishes above all things that we prosper be in health, even as our soul prosper. So like there's all these, I've come that you have life and have it more than abundantly. So like, there are too many contradictions here.Jeremiah 2:14, says, for my com, my people have committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters. So what does God call himself? He calls himself a fountain. A fountain is something never-ending. There's no end to it. It doesn't dry up, A fountain of living waters. And what did they do? They forsook God. And what did they do? They hued them out using Cisterns. So they took this fountain that's ever, infinite in possibility, infinite in wetness.And instead of having that fountain in all it is, they've taken these jugs; they put in these cisterns. The cistern is like a jug container, so I'm not getting all of God. I'm just getting a piece of him. And not only am I getting a piece of him, but look at what he says here. Not these cisterns are broken cisterns. So every time we go to fill it up, it falls out. Every time we go to fill it up, it falls out. So something's going on here; we're missing it. There is this almost like science fiction. It's all it. And the reason I could say it almost is because it's not science fiction, it's real.But if we can wrap our heads around this spiritual reality that we have, we can see it as the matrix,  You know, not as freaking severe as the Matrix, But if you look at things, in a way that's past our natural, like what we could see here, feel, taste, and touch past that, we see that there's a lot more going on here. And we have been duped. We have been duped, not purposefully, by the people that love us and by religion and whatnot.It happened gradually. There's a verse that says it's in Hebrews. Take heed. Take heed of these things that you have learned. Take heed. What does that mean? Remember, there's action involved here. This stuff isn't passive. There's no passiveness about this. It doesn't just go away one bam at a time. It doesn't just go away in a bam. It's a little tiny drop sometimes; take heed to the things you have learned lest you let them slip and that letting them slip isn't a bam. Oh, it's gone. It's a little teeny bit, a little drop at a time. And I think the main reason why we don't guard this as we should is that we don't even know we're supposed to.We don't even know what we're missing. We don't even know that there, that these possibilities even exist or that we have a job to do. So I want to ask this question. Have we lost our true identities and forfeited our rights as children of God?Has this happened to us? Now, the reason I have the image of the eagle, if you've been following my teachings or whatever you want to call them since I've gotten started, is that analogy of the eagle is at the top of his food chain. There is nothing that can; they have no predators, none. The only thing they are in danger of are human beings, and that's because we're stupid. But otherwise, you know,  we have guns. Sometimes people were afraid that eagles would get their livestock and also with pesticides. Other than that, eagles are at the top of their food chain. Nothing cons; screw with an eagle. Nothing can. But what happens if that eagle is malnourished?What happens if that eagle is not feeding itself if it hangs out in its nest and doesn't move much?What happens? That eagle has all the possibility in the world of being mighty strong. The abilities of eagles aren't insane. They can see from two miles away as the tiniest mouse. It wasn't even a mouse that was described. It was a specific kind of mouse, the tiniest mouse that exists from two miles away while flying. It can go 100, just under like 99 points or something miles an hour flying. But what happens if it's malnourished? Then, the smallest creatures, worms or ants, can devour it.And why is that? Because it didn't take care of itself. It didn't take care of its flesh. Well, I can't even say we take good care of our flesh because even that, we don't do even that. We drink crappy drinks. We have stuff with colours and additives and all kinds of stuff in it. We eat tons of sugar. We take care of our flesh, but we do take care of our flesh a heck of a lot more than we take care of our spirit.And it doesn't even have to be taken care of. It's just that we pay attention to it. So even if you, we are feeding ourselves bad food, we're still feeding ourselves, aren't we?And we will get the fruit of that; and what are we feeding our spirits? Well, we're feeding our spirits crap news. We're feeding our spirits. Bad news. We're feeding our spirits. Horror shows. We're feeding our spirits gossip. We're feeding our spirits dramas, right? What we're putting in? So what, what's gonna be strongest? So have we lost our true identity and forfeited our rights as children of God?And have we been doing this? Now I'm gonna read you something from Daniel, Daniel's threeNow, Daniel wasn't involved in this. Daniel was their friend, and he was part of their world, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego But in this particular case, he was not involved in this debacle that was going on here. So the king, Cesar, he got influenced to make this great big statue of himself. And every time that they heard any kind of music, people were to bow to the statue, to kneel to the statue, and to give reverence and ambiance and worship to it.Well, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that was against their religion. God said to them. Before, when I said the difference between these men and us is their training, they knew. I'm doing that right, lest you let them slip. So, oh, you know what? Nobody's gonna kill me. I'm not gonna die if I just bow to 'em. But if I don't bow to 'em, maybe I will die. So look at what they did. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king. Cause the king said to him, don't you know what I'm gonna do to you if you don't do this? And he liked these guys, he didn't want this to happen, but he was pissed that they weren't gonna do it.And so this was their answer to him. Oh, never Ceasar. We do not fear to answer in this matter if it is so, our God whom we serve can deliver us from the burning fiery furnace. I don't know if I mentioned it, but that's what was gonna happen to them. If they didn't do this particular thing to this statue of, the king, then they were gonna be thrown.Whoever it was, wasn't only them; whoever it was that wouldn't do this, they were gonna be thrown into a burn burning fiery furnace.There was a consequence of it; It'd be the God whom we serve who can deliver us from the burning fiery furnace.  So he says, If it is so, our God whom we serve, he's able to deliver us from this burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of the hand of the king. But if not, be it known unto the O king that we will not serve thy gods nor worship the golden image which thou has set up.So they were so strong in faith about this that they were willing to go in there, they were willing to die for it; now what I'm getting at here is that these people, they were instructed, they knew stuff. Would we be that convinced? Would we be, would we stand in that? Would we even think of that? Would that even come across us?When they went in there, the king got so pissed off at them that he made it hotter, seven times hotter than it was before. And it was so, so hot that the people that threw them in died were consumed by the heat, But not even their clothes smelled like smoke. That was the outcome of that certain situation.Now, remember Jonah? Now, this is a prayer. Jonah said after he was in the freaking ocean after he was thrown overboard. When do we give up?When it looks like there's absolutely no hope. So what does that mean? That means our flesh is way more strong than our spirit. Doesn't it? Because we're leaning on our senses. What do I see? What do I feel? What do I hear? What do I know in my flesh?That's where we're standing. But what does God say? But if we don't know what God says, if we aren't aware of our rights to what God says, if we don't know how well, how can we do it right?My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. It's what it said.So this is Jonas's prayer. Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God, out of the fish's belly and said, I prayed, I cried because of mine, affliction unto the Lord. And he heard me out of the belly of hell, cried. I and thou hurt us. My voice for thou cant cast me. That for thou cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas, and the floods come to pass me about. And my billows and my waves passed over me.When was he praying? He was in the ocean then. I said I am cast out of thy sight.Yet what will he do? I will look again toward thy holy temple. The waters can pass me about even to the soul. The depth closed up. The depth closed me round about the weeds. The weeds were wrapped around my head. I went down to the bottom of the mountains. The earth with her bars was about me forever with her bars.  Yet, has thou brought me up my life from corruption? Oh, my Lord, my God. When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord. And my prayer came in, came in unto the, into the holy temple. They did observe lying vanities and forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice unto thee. Get this; remember the whole thing from last week with the voice of Thanksgiving? He was being thankful.It was a sacrifice when you're laying there on the bottom of the ocean, and you got seaweed wrapped around your head; that doesn't seem like there's any hope, does there?But what did he do? He kept praising it,  Salvation of the Lord. Thanksgiving. I will pray that I have vowed salvation is of the Lord. And the Lord spank unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. But a fricking boom.Remember this verse. Submit yourself to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw close unto God, and he will draw close unto you.To submit is the Greek word - hupotasso. And it is to submit one, submit one's control to yield to one's nation or advice to obey, to be subject to oneself to obey.So when you're in dire circumstances, what are you doing? Do we know who we are in Christ Jesus?Do we know who we are as a son of God?That we don't have to look at what is happening in the world that we can look to him? There was one instance where a man went to Jesus, and he said, my daughter, she was about 12. He said, my daughter is on the brink of death, but if you can come, I know you will heal him. And then, as they were on their way, another woman stopped him. She had an issue with blood. This whole thing happened. He healed her. In the meantime, The daughter died. Well, what does that mean? In this case, and in every case where we are standing on our identity as children of God, it didn't matter. Jesus said fear not, only belief. So when they got there, you know, they were crying because she was dead. And Jesus said she isn't. She isn't dead. She's only asleep. They had to put everybody out. Why was that? He only had Peter, two apostles and the mother and father of this little girl. Everybody else he put out. Why was that? They couldn't be influenced by all of that stuff. What are we influenced by? What are we allowing ourselves to be influenced by?You don't need that. Do we know these things, though? Can we receive answers when we don't even know that we're not that, that bringing all these people with unbelief into our lives is gonna damage our faith, and we cannot stand to receive what God wants us to receive?But even more than that, this isn't about living from crisis to crisis and getting prayer answered to prayer answered. This is about walking in the light as children of God and receiving this glorious existence we should have.That this is how we should be li living. Now, this, I don't know if I'm gonna get into this cause there's a lot here.  Maybe I'll just take a couple of things, and maybe we'll get into this next week, but listen to just some of this.This is James 1:22-25. See, my point here is that there are lots and lots and lots of clues in the Bible, lots of them.The Bible is a manual for life. Do you think God would just throw us down here and say good luck?No, he wouldn't, and he didn't. Okay, now look at this, my brethren; count it all joy. When you fall into many temptations, you wanna count it all joy. It's what sense does that make? Well, knowing this at the trying of your faith, it works. Patience. Get this. If you go out to the gym, right, you're gonna be like, you're gonna be tested, right? You're gonna be tested. Do I wanna keep doing this? This hurts. What happens with that growth happens. We need to practice our faith to get good at it.So every time we have a little temptation, something that comes, oh, I don't feel good. Well, in Jesus Christ's name, I'm healed. Oh my gosh, I can't pay this bill in Jesus Christ's name; I have more than I need. He is the God of heaven and earth. Thank you, Father, that you take care of me. You take care of the birds and the flowers of the field. You take care of me too. See what I mean? These little things come to our paths all the time.When we practice this faith, what happens? It works. Patience. Let patients have their perfect worth.Now, look at it here. Blessed is the man that endures temptation when he has tried. He shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised them who love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God. For God cannot be tempted with evil, either tempted by any man. So remember God; he may test you and attempt two freaking different things.And a test is just a loving thing that is like what a parent does for a child. When your child turns out about maybe 11 or 12 years old, and you say, they say, all right, mom, I'm going to the pizza place with so-and-so and okay, what time are you coming back? There's a little test there, right? You let 'em go. They're old enough. They know what to do and what not to do. They know the rules. And then what happens? They don't come home on time. You can't find them. You find out that later they went to somebody else's house and failed the test.  So what do you do next? You say, eh, sorry, you're gonna have to show me that you're responsible for this because what, why don't we just let 'em do it? Because it'll harm them, right? So God wants to give us more. We just gotta grow, that's all. So we just continue to practice. It's a loving relationship. Hebrews 11:6 says, but without faith, it is impossible to please him. For he that comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.What is that about? He's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Does it say he's a reward for good people and bad people? Does it say, oh, I reward those who are good? If you are a good person, I will reward you. No, he's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.Why? Because when you diligently seek God, you get the answers. You know how to live the rewards come as a consequence of that. Another verse says that he looked down from heaven to see if there were any that did seek after him. So don't think he ain't looking for you. He is. And don't think he doesn't find you when you're there. Sometimes I'll sit in my bed with my Bible, and when I read that verse, I'll say, here I am. God. Here I am. Cause I know what he's doing. He's looking down the Lord's looks for who is seeking him.Now, this is to recap. I mean, just to close off here, Proverbs chapter three.It's one of my favorite verses in chapters in the Bible. It got me through; it got me to understand when I was in a car accident in very, very bad shape, it got me to understand that I didn't have to stay there, and I continued to seek.Now what we're talking about here is the little clues in the Bible, the little clues in the Bible where we can see, oh, I can have my own personal awakening. This can happen to me. I can be in a position where there is no way out. And I find the way out; the doors open for me. This can happen because of who I am in Him.My son forget not my law. Can you forget something you never knew? Nope.So what do you have to do? You got to know his law. Let thy heart keep my commandments.So can you know it and then let go of it? Nope.What do you have to do? You got to keep it. Keep my commandments happy. Is a man that finds wisdom.How do you find something without looking for it? Can there be any finding anything with no effort? Nope. Happy is a man that finds wisdom and a man that gets understanding.Can I get my cup to drink if I don't reach out for it? Nope. It takes action.It doesn't just come to trust in the Lord with all your heart. Can you trust something?Know the Lord with all your heart. Can you know somebody you've never spent time with?Can you know somebody you've never understood?Can you know somebody that you've never spoken with or has spoken to you?He speaks to us through His word.  Know the Lord with all your heart, and don't lean onto your own understanding. Well, if all you have is your own understanding, how can you lean on anything else in all your ways?Acknowledge him.  Acknowledge is the word? NO, Trust is the word.Believe. Believe in the Lord. Trust in the Lord. Have faith in the Lord. Acknowledge is the word? No.In all their, in all your ways, know Him. How are you gonna know him? Just what I said before, the same thing, just flipped in the meaning. In all your ways. Know him. How are you gonna know him without spending time with him, without making any effort, and what'll happen? Then he'll direct your paths. Can we have our paths directed, by God if we don't do these things? Well, not according to the word, no.It's like, what? Throwing a dart at a wall with your eyes closed and hoping a, hoping to hit it.Why would we wanna live that way? What is she? She's a tree of life to them. That is what lay hold on her.Do you see it there? All of these promises, they're amazing, but we've gotta do our part. We have to lay hold on her and be as happy as everyone.Look at this one that retains her. So is it something you could do today and forget tomorrow? Well, yeah, you can, but are you gonna get the rewards?No, my son, let them not depart from your eyes. So what is he saying? Don't let 'em depart from you.Don't forget it. Keep it, keep it in front of your face. Keep sound wisdom. You got to keep something; you gotta hold onto it, right?  And discretion. So that was just to show the correlation I was talking about before. In 2 Timothy 2:15, says, study to show thy self approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.Now, the reason that I have this storybook bible up there is that if you, if it is to me, I've read a lot of little storybook bibles as my kids were little and stuff. This is the best Bible to read, to understand the word of God. It's very, it, it has no religion in it, doesn't have any suppositions in there of this is what we think and opinions in. You know, I intertwined. It's just a recap of and, simply pu,t the books of the Bible. So if you have a hard time reading the Bible or you it's hard to understand, get the Egermeier's Bible.It's still available. I had this 40 years ago. You could still get it today. And read, say you wanna read a chapter of the Bible, read it in the Ed Myer first, then read it in the regular Bible, and it'll open up to you. You'll see it; there's a verse that says that natural man cannot receive the things of God because there's spiritually discerned.So some things just can't get through that barrier. It's the word of God that is so powerful. It's sharp; it's alive; it's sharper than any two swords. It's able to decide and divide us under the spirit and joint and marrow.That's in Hebrews. I believe that the word of God is very powerful. And sometimes you just, you might read it and it'll, it would be like you read nothing. It just didn't; it didn't get in there because if our flesh is that strong, we can't hear it. So we go in there, it's like dipping your toe in the water, putting on your waders, putting on some a life vest or something before you jump in.  You can't swim yet. And when you read it, when you read in the Egermeier's BibleAnd, or even Noah, anything and you read it, and then you go into the Bible, all of a sudden it starts opening up to you, and you're like, oh, that's what it says. So that's a great way; if you have tried to read the Bible, but it's hard, I recommend not reading it from cover to cover.  It's not a novel. Go into the New Testament first, then Certain books of the Old Testament. Some of them are just difficult to read. And especially when you haven't learned how to study the Bible, it'll just confuse you because there are some things that just seem so contradictory.But remember when in the Bible, there can be no contradiction. So it's either in the translation, in our understanding, in the context or where it's been used before. So that's how we study the Bible.Let me get the thing up for you, and I'll spell it Egermeier's Bible. I will put it in the chat.This podcast is brought to you by thetidytutor.com and from people like you.If you need help getting it together at home, please visit thetidytutor.com if you want to have a house that's clean, organized, and filled with love and not stress.If you feel led to give to this podcast, I so appreciate it, and I thank you in advance.

July 17, 2022 service at Spring Creek Church of the Brethren, by guest speaker, Pastor Jim Rhen.

One of the essential needs of survival is water. Water is necessary for life. Jesus and many other biblical authors use water to symbolize the spiritual life. Water in the spiritual life is also essential. We all need a source. Where are you drawing your water from? Cisterns? Wells? Or living waters?

Get a blessing by hearing the latest teaching from one of the services at Faith and Truth Assembly!

Clean drinking water is vital - but for many people, accessing it is difficult and expensive. A pastor in an Indonesian village encourages people to make use of a dependable water supply that comes free of charge: rainwater.

Do you want more out of life? Are you surviving, succeeding or are you going for the BIG KAHUNA, and striving for significance? Why do you get up each day, do what you do, go home at night and do it again and again and again? How do you know if you have been successful this day, this week, this month, this year, or in your life? How do you define success? What type of business are you in? On today's Podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black gets in your business. If you have a J O B, and you get paid from that job, then you- most likely- spend a majority of your waking hours at that job. Whatever you do to ‘make a living’, whatever you get paid for with the mortgaging of your time for money—we are all in the People business. There are three levels of living: Survival, Success, Significance. Survival is the default mode of the Human Experience. Success is about making a name, a Kingdom, a family, a legacy, a future…for yourself and those close enough to you to get some of your ‘overflow’. Significance, however, requires a change of focus. As leaders, we are either Conduits, or Cisterns. A cistern holds things, whereas a conduit, moves things. A cistern is about gathering and holding, a conduit is a pass-through agent. If we truly want to maximize the potentials we were created with, then Significance is calling! If we are in the People business you must learn about the creature called the human being. The patterns, the reasons why, how people process the past and the future, how people learn to overcome…. On today’s podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, Mr. Black will establish this thesis and then provide supporting evidence to support this position. Mr. Black will also be sharing a 5-step process for connecting with people, so that you can get on the path called, Significance! Today’s Podcast is titled, The People Business!
