Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men. Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his chamber, the verses revealed by God, the scattering angels of the Almighty shall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by his mouth, and shall cause the heart of every righteous man to throb. Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the virtue of the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exercise its influence upon his soul. Thus have the mysteries of the Revelation of God been decreed by virtue of the Will of Him Who is the Source of power and wisdom.

Tests Prove Who is the Bride (2)(Audio)David Eells - 7/28/21Getting Dressed as a Bride for the Marriage FeastDavid Eells The Lord awakened me at 2:00 AM on 12/30/11 and I then fell into a trance. He touched my neck and I felt a strong anointing come into me. (Something like this happened once before when I was strengthened to go on the conference tours.) He spoke to me to share with you of getting dressed up as a bride by being obedient to His commands, for the Marriage Feast, which begins at the beginning of the last seven days/years before going to the Groom's home in heaven. Time is almost up to be ready and some are not redeeming it. Some have already been rejected; others must make some steps to keep from being rejected and be in line for the prize of the high calling of God. The Lord spoke of simple steps to take to get ready but that some would not be willing to take them because of pride or rebellion. He spoke of bringing all darkness or hidden sins into the light to be destroyed by confessing our sins one to another so we may be healed and cleansed -- James 5:16; John 3:19-21; 1 John 1:7-10. At this time, I was given a vision of some people in the faction returning to us to receive the Word. They were like a wayward wife returning to her husband. Later that morning, I received confirmations. A brother was returning from being out of town to local UBM and shared a dream he just had. He saw some people returning to UBM with joy when they were set free from the factious spirits. He didn't know we had been praying for that. Another brother also had been awakened at 2:00 AM and was told that what was coming on mankind would be devastating but that the obedient should not be afraid. I met him for breakfast the next morning and he received a discernment that I had received a word from the Lord to give the people. A sister then read this above and received Psalm 21, which speaks of the anointing of the Davids and God's defeat of their enemies. Please pray and fight the spiritual battle for the souls of the fallen around the world. We at local UBM are praying diligently for our brethren whom we love and want to see in the Bride. I briefly shared in the last study about the marriage feast but I wanted to go into a little more detail here: After seven days of the marriage feast, God's people will go to the Groom's home. Jacob served seven years for each of his wives and he had a marriage feast of seven days for each of them (Genesis 29:18-28). This is a parallel revelation. These seven days represent the last seven years or the seventieth week of Daniel, the Tribulation. Samson kept a seven-day marriage feast for his betrothed but left without taking her on the seventh day so she was given to another man just as the harlot will, in our day (Judges 14:12-15:2). Jesus will feast with His Bride in spirit for seven days/years, after which they are escorted by the virgins to the Groom's home in heaven where she will legally be His. This Hebrew custom is shown in The Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible, 1976, page 97 under "Marriage". My notes are in red. The bridegroom was the king for a week (seven-day/year wedding feast). During the whole week their majesties wore their festal clothes, did not work, and merely looked on at the games - except that now and then the queen joined in a dance. Accompanied by his friends (John the Baptist was a friend of the Bridegroom in John 3:29) with tambourines and a band they went to the bride's house (which is obviously on earth) where the wedding ceremonies were to start. The bride richly dressed, adorned with jewels (Psalms 45:14-15), usually wore a veil (meaning submission in 1 Corinthians 11:5-13), which she took off only in the bridal chamber. Escorted by her companions (the virgins), the bride was led to the home of the bridegroom (in heaven: This is where the marriage supper is and the marriage contract, the Ketuba, is signed, which delineates the responsibilities of the Groom and Bride. These of course are written all through the Word.). David: This is clear. After the seven days/years of the feast, representing the Tribulation, on the eighth day, which is the day of circumcision when the flesh is cut off, the Groom, the Bride, the friends of the Groom and the virgins, all leave dressed in their new bodies to go to the Groom's home in heaven. It will be just as when Moses and all Israel left Egypt together. Even the dead in Christ will join the procession. (1Co.15:51) ...We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed, (52) in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump.... That the Lord takes His people after the seven days/years of the marriage feast is clearly proven by Scripture. As we have seen, a great multitude comes out of the Great Tribulation to the throne of God. (Rev.7:9)...A great multitude...out of every nation...standing before the throne and before the Lamb.... (14)...These are they that come out of the great tribulation.... Only after "the great tribulation", this "great multitude", which is made up of all who attend the marriage, announces that the Bride is ready and the marriage is come. (Rev.19:1) After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying.... (7)...the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (8) And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (9) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb.... Notice that the marriage supper is in heaven, after the seven-day feast. Here is a revelation of “The Final Exam for the Bride." Final Exam for the Bride, Too Late for Some Eve Brast - 03/11/2016 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I was in a one-room home schoolhouse. David Eells was my teacher. His voice was a blend between his own and my dad's. (David here is a type of the David Man-child reformers who will speak as an oracle of God our Father.) {1Pe.4:11} if any man speaketh, 'speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, ministering as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. David was much bigger in the dream than he is in real life. (Because the David Man-child ministers are big in the Lord and they are a corporate body.) He sat over to my right and slightly behind me, against the wall, in a very large 1950s-style school desk. I had a smaller version of that same desk placed in the center of the classroom. I was the only student of his in this school. (Eve, as a type of the Bride, is tutored by the Man-child. John saw Jesus, the David-Man-child, and said, "He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom”. Notice that Jesus personally tutored the bride in the gospels. At this time some are being culled or rejected from around the bride so as not to leaven her. This was as Esther was taken out of the house of the women before being chosen.) The classroom itself was not very well-lit and it was even dark toward the outer edges. {1Co.13:12} For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. (A lot of things that Jesus, as Man-child, said in the beginning were not understood by the Bride. Jesus had light but the Bride was still in some darkness, depending on how far away from Him they were.) But there was a bright light that shone down over David's head from above like a spotlight. This enabled him to see clearly and easily to grade my test papers. I also had a light shining down over my head but it was more of a warm, golden light and not as bright as David's to see by. I had been sitting at my desk, fidgeting around and waiting, but I didn't know in the dream what exactly I was waiting for. Then David called me up to his desk and when I walked up, he handed me three algebraic pre-tests I had taken, that he had graded and corrected. He told me, "You really need to study the corrections I have made on these pre-tests well because you are about to take your final exam". I was glad that he was gracious when he said this and didn't make mention of the fact that I had failed the tests. (Grace has us look to the future in faith that we have overcome at the cross, rather than to the past failures which rob faith. {Php.3:12} Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. {13} Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, {14} I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Also we see here that those who do not receive correction will be rejected from the Bride.) I said, "Okay. I will". {Pro.12:1} Whoso loveth correction loveth knowledge; But he that hateth reproof is brutish. {13:1} A wise son heareth his father's instruction; But a scoffer heareth not rebuke. When I sat back down at my desk, I looked at my grades on two of the pre-tests. One was a 67% and the other was a 68%. So I started to really study all the corrections that David had painstakingly detailed. It was very thorough. The grades and all the corrections were written in red ink. David had made it easy for me to see the mistakes I had made in trying to balance the equations, so that it was much easier to study for the final exam. (Some people are spiritually lazy and never correct their mistakes from the past. Going from 67% to 68% shows improvement in correcting mistakes.) After I had studied, I went back up to David's desk and he handed me my final exam. (Truly, the Davids are giving the exams because with knowledge comes responsibility and "to whom much is given much is expected". Just as in School, with truth comes testing. {Mat.13:21} yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.) I took it back to my desk and started to solve the problems. To my surprise, it was very easy. I felt the wisdom of the Lord filling my mind as I finished the exam in no time! (God will give grace for growth and maturity now.) Then I took it back to David and when he was finished grading it he looked up and smiled and said, "Congratulations. You aced it!" (100%? I only remember studying two of the three pre-tests and their corrections. I feel that this represents the grace of our Father, whose power is made perfect in our weakness.) I then had a vision in the dream. (After the Bride has taken the final exam and passed, Jesus' anointing comes in the Man-child at the time of the earthquakes.) I saw a huge crack open up in the ground. (The earthquakes promised at His coming.) There was a white sheet of paper with some words from the Lord written on it suspended inside the crack. (A heavenly decree [Of judgment on those who failed because they got no grace because they gave no grace. It is written of the Korah usurpation and rebellion against Moses, the Man-child, that the earth, or flesh, swallowed them alive.].) I couldn't make out what it said. I also knew in the dream that other cracks had opened in other places as well. (In dreams, we received it would be East Coast / New Madrid / TN Valley / West Coast.) (After the cracking open came the water? (The water represents a flood of God's Words being manifested which, like the flood, were death to the wicked but salvation and revival to the righteous.) When the vision ended, I found myself hanging onto a portion of the school house roof about the size of a small raft. (Passing the test enables the Bride, Zion, the City of God, to escape the flood of judgment to come.) It was floating in what seemed like wavy ocean water. I could see an ancient-looking city in front of me that this huge body of water was going over. (It was like we were at the leading edge of the water as the first-fruits.) The city had sunlight shining on the off-white stucco, one-story houses that were all joined together. (Representing the unity of the Bride, the City of God, as opposed to the evil city of Babylon that was being judged.) {Zep.3:1} Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted! to the oppressing city! {2} She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in Jehovah; she drew not near to her God. ... {7} I said, Only fear thou me; receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings. (Notice: The rebellious and polluted oppressors of the faction who along with others refused correction from God were judged and did not find grace to be in the protected Bride city.) David was at the "bow" of this roof portion, standing and teaching us. He was wearing a white polo shirt. (This represents the Man-child Davids in whom Jesus lives by His Word and Spirit. These are the white horse whose rider is Jesus in Rev.6) There was another person to my right hanging onto the right side of the portion of the roof with me. There were two others on the left side and a person on the back end, as well as a young person sitting on top of the roof portion. (Others with various problems will escape through faith who have not matured to the level of the Bride. If Noah was the Man-child and his wife the Bride, the children were also in the ark and escaped.) There were seven of us all together. Even though we were mostly in the water, none of us were wet at all. (No effect of the flood on those in the ark of Christ. They have a Psalm 91 Passover of the curse.) We were all excited and talking with one another and listening to David teaching. {Mat.5:6} Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. I asked Father for a verse for this dream and received Ezekiel 21:11. In context: {Eze.21:8} And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, {9} Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished; {10} it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? (play games and not take correction before judgment?) the rod of my son, it contemneth every tree. (He commanded the tree to be cut down that did not bear fruit) {11} And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer. {12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; smite therefore upon thy thigh. {13} For there is a trial (My New English Bible version that I put my finger down in says "a test”.)(The Tribulation is the test) and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah. I asked Father for a word concerning the final exam and received 1 Chronicles 23:24: {1Ch.23:24} These were the sons of Levi after their fathers houses, even the heads of the fathers houses of those of them that were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward. (The gathering of the priests of the house of the Lord who make a covenant with Him by sacrifice. {Psa.50:2} Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth. {3} Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him. {4} He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people (Notice that some are judged while others are not just like the above dream): {5} Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. (Sacrifice of their fleshly old life to gain their new life as Jesus said.) {6} And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. [Selah] {7} Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God. (Those who bear the tabernacle of God's presence and sacrifice the flesh are not judged, for He said) {8} I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.) {1Ch.23:25} For David said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto his people; and he dwelleth in Jerusalem (the Bride) for ever: {26} and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle (because they are the tabernacle, the mobile temple of God's presence) and all the vessels of it for the service thereof. {27} For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward. {28} For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God; So we see here the Bride finishing her schooling to be chosen for the Bride position but the factious, those separated, did not accept correction to be in the Bride. Here is a prophesy given to Doug Addison back on 8/17/15 But it is so relevant for us today. ... The enemy is continuing to overplay his attacks against many people. This is because there is a powerful breakthrough coming for those who stand through the storms. There will be a greater level of repayment coming for those who make it through the season. Prophetic dreams will continue to increase. An unusual amount of wisdom and favor is being released right now. ... If you or someone you know has been under attack by the enemy then there is a good chance that you are a strategic person in the Kingdom of God. The enemy is trying to take out those who will be a part of this new move of God that's coming. Those on the front lines have been suffering from burnout, repeated attacks from the enemy, sickness and discouragement. The enemy is trying to take out those who have been battling and doing the work for the kingdom. … God... is repositioning people for something bigger that is coming. The source of the enemy's attacks is going to be revealed over the next five months (after their attacks on the bride). God is going to reveal the strategic attacks from the enemy that have been holding people down and keeping them from advancing. (declass) Enduring the Trial to Receive David Eells I was thinking earlier today that the thing that really makes me sad is people not enduring in faith to the end of their trial to receive the promise. It is hard to fathom a third of the stars of heaven falling to the earth. The false doctrine of the apostate churches makes it sound like they have the promised land right on the other side of the Red Sea with no wilderness trials in between. But the Israelites were tried in the wilderness and those people who crossed the Red Sea and didn't overcome in the wilderness didn't get to go to the promised land. According to the apostate doctrines, you go right into the promise land right after you come out of the water but it doesn't work that way. One of Jesus' sayings was, "He that endureth to the end shall be saved.” as in Mat. 24:13 and Mat. 10. For us, I think the most important thing about that statement is, "to the end of what?", to the end of the trial or tribulation. Some people say that it is just the whole picture of salvation, which is true, but it is also true about our "little pictures” or scenarios; every situation we get ourselves into. The Israelites were in a trial for water, food, snake bites and he that endureth to the end of every one of those tribulations will be saved. We are being saved continuously because we endure. Some people don't see the necessity of enduring these little trials which is what God attributes righteousness to. He attributed righteousness to Abraham simply because he believed the promise; he had to endure many years before he saw it. At the beginning, his faith wasn't so hot. If you go back and read the story, he doesn't sound like the man of faith that Hebrews talks about. He made some mistakes but he learned, he was interested in God and learned as he went by his mistakes and God didn't attribute foolishness to him because he did that. Anyway, he ultimately did endure and became the father of the faithful. I think that's what we have got to learn in every one of these smaller trials, is to endure to the end in faith in God so when the bigger trials come we can handle them and take one more step in the way of righteousness. Jesus was explaining the parable of the sower and, in the parable, some of the seeds fell upon the rocky places and didn't have much earth and when they sprung up they didn't have the deepness of earth and the sun rose and scorched them because they had no root, they fell away (see Mat. 13:5-6). Mat. 13:20-21 he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; (21) yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. There were four different groups there and that was just one of the groups. But I'm convinced that this is one of our biggest problems and it is going to be a terrible problem in the days ahead because, God is coming to the place where He is going to purge His church. There is no time left for people to walk the fence for God is going to put you in one camp or the other through tribulation. (The Lukewarm are not accepted but spewed out of His body.) What's going to do it is, you either are going to die in the wilderness or endure in faith until the end and enter into the promise land. The problem is that receiving the Word of God with joy and thankfulness is not enough according to this explanation because many people rejoice and jump up and down at what you preach and say, “Oh, what a good word!”. But when they go out and live it, it is something else and that's the thing that separates, as they say, "the men from the boys”. Are you going to endure; holding on to that Word and not giving it up? We know that the Bible promises us here, that because of the Word that God sowed in our hearts, we also are going to receive tribulation and persecution because of that Word. The Israelites did receive the promise in Egypt, they were tried in the wilderness to see if they would hold on to that promise and those who didn't hold on to that promise died in the wilderness and didn't enter into the promise land. They were tried and had to go through their wilderness experience and we are going through ours, we have got no choice but to be overcomers and to hold fast to the Word. Some of the things that people talk about overcoming don't really matter, the only thing that really matters is: Do you believe in Jesus as your Savior and that ultimately He saved and will save your soul? What matters to God, with each and every one of us, is what knowledge He has put in each of us. We are all going to be judged separately and distinctly from one another according to what is written upon our hearts and the understanding He gave to us. Here in Matthew 13 He is talking about the seed that was sown. That is the only thing that you are responsible for; the seed that was sown and if you are going to hold fast to that seed which was sown. For instance: I don't believe God is going to judge a Baptist about healing like He is going to judge a full-gospel believer about healing because, God has blessed you to understand more so you will be held accountable for more and bear more fruit. It is the seed that is sown. What did Abraham having a son have to do with his salvation, apparently a lot. God expected him to believe it so he could be justified. (Heb. 10:26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins. Considering what we are talking about, look at Hebrews 10:32, but call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings. Notice they got enlightened and then they went through a test. Why is this true? For one thing, you are trying to hold on to something that you can't see and trying to confess something that you can't see. It can tend to make us a schizophrenic, tearing you, and making you want to go one way and then the other. So it is a conflict between walking by sight and by faith. This is especially when you act by faith in the Word amongst the heathen. It says in verse 33, partly, being made a gazingstock, in other words, it is not wrong for you to be a gazing stock. It is not wrong, necessarily, to be put down upon by the heathen or the apostate, lukewarm Christians. (Heb. 10:33) partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used. In otherwords, agreeing with other people that are in the midst of tribulation and sticking up for them when they are being misused because they stand for the Word by faith. Standing for Christ can mean nothing if you are not standing for what He said. (34) For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one. (35) Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. (36) For ye have need of patience (endurance or steadfastness), that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. Obviously from the text He is talking about the people who did the will of God and had to pay for it because persecution and tribulation came as a result of them standing in defense of the Word of God. He said that they needed patience, in having done the will of God, that they might receive the promise and here is what we are talking about in Matthew 13, three of four people didn't have patience or endurance in their faith to receive. They won't endure the trial of their faith or persecution of standing up for the Word or the fear that the devil throws at them because they are trying to trust in the Lord for healing, deliverance, provision, or purity and the worldly only walk by sight. You can be persecuted, not only by men but, by the devil and his demons who are continuously assailing your mind to try to get you to move away from the Word, to give up the promises in the Word. If you give up the Word, the seed won't be fruitful like in 1 John 3 that says the Word abideth and knows what is born of God. Any area in your life that you are born of God is because you held on to the Word. In the areas where you have given up the Word; you become unfruitful and not born of God. The point is, we have great promises just like the Israelites did before they crossed the Red Sea. They were tried to see if they would believe them. God was angry because they didn't believe and He killed them in the wilderness and that is still happening today. The greatest part of the "great falling away" is about to happen. I don't believe we have seen it yet because great tribulation separates. Tribulation causes some people to rise up even higher and some people to sink and so the great falling away is when the great tribulation happens. The trials that happen try to tear you away from your standing in faith in the Word. We really do need boldness and not to give it up which hath great recompense of reward and we need to know we need to be patient and endure so (Heb. 10:36) that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. (37) For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry. Jesus will be manifest in those who hold to the Word.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Mt. 24:12-13 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. We, the elect of God, endure by following that which is brought to our mind by the Holy Spirit. Remember the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and HE will: teach us all things, remind us of all that Jesus has said, guide us into all truth, and show us things to come. (Jn.14:26 & Jn.16:13) Also God will not fail us nor forsake us. (Joshua 1:5 & Heb. 13:5) Jesus says: John 6 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to ME shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME shall never thirst. 39-40 And this is the Father's will which hath sent ME, that of all which HE hath given ME I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of HIM that sent ME, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on HIM, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on ME hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: We eat the "bread" by believing the Word that is carried to us by the Spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit. We do this as long as God leaves us on this earth. The elect of God hear the voice of Jesus by HIS Spirit and we follow HIM and will not follow the voice of a stranger. John 10 John 10 Jesus says: 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 27 My sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of MY hand. 29 My Father, which gave them ME, is greater than all; and no (none) is able to pluck them out of MY Father's hand. 30 I and MY Father are one. John 6 Jesus says: 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink HIS blood, ye have no life in you. Every time God sends HIS Word to us and we eat and drink that Word, believing on that Word, we eat the flesh of Jesus and drink HIS blood and have HIS life by HIS Word which was sent to us by God. They received manna and ate it and lived. But we receive Jesus by that Word that comes down to us from God and we eat that Word and live by HIM and life is in us each time we receive HIS Word ... I've always thought it is like receiving a blood transfusion. Jesus says: 54 Whoso eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For MY flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, dwelleth in ME, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent ME, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth ME, even he shall live by ME. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
King James Version (AV), Proverbs 12 1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. 2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. 3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. 4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. 5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. 6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. 7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. 8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. 9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. 10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. 11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. 12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. 13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. 14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. 16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. 17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. 21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. 22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. 23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. 24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. 25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. 26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. 27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. 28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

I know not, O my God, what the Fire is which Thou didst kindle in Thy land. Earth can never cloud its splendor, nor water quench its flame. All the peoples of the world are powerless to resist its force. Great is the blessedness of him that hath drawn nigh unto it, and heard its roaring. Some, O my God, Thou didst, through Thy strengthening grace, enable to approach it, while others Thou didst keep back by reason of what their hands have wrought in Thy days. Whoso hath hasted towards it and attained unto it hath, in his eagerness to gaze on Thy beauty, yielded his life in Thy path, and ascended unto Thee, wholly detached from aught else except Thyself. I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by this Fire which blazeth and rageth in the world of creation, to rend asunder the veils that have hindered me from appearing before the throne of Thy majesty, and from standing at the door of Thy gate. Do Thou ordain for me, O my Lord, every good thing Thou didst send down in Thy Book, and suffer me not to be far removed from the shelter of Thy mercy. Powerful art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. Thou art, verily, the All-Powerful, the Most Generous.

Christ's doctrine is what He declares it is. His doctrine is so important to comprehend that Jesus warns people to keep it accurate. "Whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil." He declares that those who are on His rock profess no more or less than His doctrine. Living the doctrine of Christ is the only way to "come unto Him" and obtain the gift of salvation. What is the doctrine of Christ exactly?
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

Genesis 9 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
This world that we currently occupy is such a beautiful place along with the individuals that call it home. or as we have said before on previous episodes," it's a fabulous created world. " And within this fabulous created world are endless opportunities if you're intentional towards growth and development and also a conscious effort each day to protect your energy bank account. Paying keen attention to our friendship circle is essential because toxicity, drama, gossip, or low emotional maturity are perfect recipes for disaster on the transformational journey. Think about this: If they talk with you about others, then it is inevitable they will talk about you with those same individuals. Here is our Power Word for today. Proverbs 20:19 - He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips. 1 Timothy 5:13 - And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. Proverbs 21:23 - Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. YOU'RE A MIRACLE! God wants you to LIVE life on PURPOSE.
1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. 15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. 16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, 17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. 18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. 20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. 21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. 22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone; 23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? 43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 23:2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 23:18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 23:19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 23:20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 23:21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 23:26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
یا ابن الوجود کیف نسیت عیوب نفسک و اشتغلت بعیوب عبادی من کان علی ذلک فعلیه لعنة منّی - بهاءالله - “O SON OF BEING! How couldst thou forget thine own faults and busy thyself with the faults of others? Whoso doeth this is accursed of Me.” - Baha’u’llah -
John 6:53 “Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. This is a bold statement that Jesus makes. This word except means unless, Strong’s 3362. It is without exception. The word comes from two Greek words, one of which is Strong’s number 1437 which is if, and is a particle showing the statement is conditional. Except is showing that to have His Life, or Eternal Life is conditional on eating Him. This Life does not reside in the natural man. It is an altogether different Life. Jesus is the Bread of Life that comes down from heaven. Unless we eat of this Bread, we do not have THIS LIFE, period! The second Greek word that Except is made up from is Strong’s 3361, which is a particle of negation, meaning no, not, ruling out any implications. The statement is so strong that Jesus is making. Unless you eat of Him, you do not, in anyway, shape or form, have His Life. His Life is from another origin. It originates from Him, and not from the natural mankind. Christ Himself is the Bread of this Heavenly Life. If we are to dwell in this life it is imperative that we eat of Him. Otherwise, we do not have this Life. How do we receive this Life? Jesus makes it clear, John 6:47 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” In another encounter with Him, He declared that out of your inner being would flow rivers of living water, speaking of the Spirit, that He would give to those that believe. He that believes in Him has everlasting life. I want to express this is not just a one time believing, but an ongoing relationship that we enter into. We receive what He has done. God’s grace saves us. It is nothing of ourselves. However, in this relationship with Christ we continue in Him by eating His Flesh and Drinking His Blood. The peace and solidity of God can only be made known in the soul be eating Him. If I eat continuously of the world. Take in through my mind that of the world, whether its joy or its distress, I will not know the glorious peace that is in Christ even if I am in Him. When my heart turns to see that of Christ, unshakeable peace, joy, and righteousness will begin to be formed in me. I will begin to know His peace that passes understanding. I will begin to know His joy that the world does not know. This comes in eating Him. As the Spirit of God declares that which He is in me, I receive of Him. I eat of Him. That which He is becomes alive or real in me. This is Eternal Life, that which He is! Glory to God!
There is in the Bible a curious and often repeated theme. I can't tell you that I fully understand it, but I would be remiss if I didn't bring it to your attention: Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die. Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.Numbers 35:30 This is one of the earliest examples of the requirement of due process. Also, people with money will not be allowed to buy their way out of it. And here is the curious part of it: So you shall not pollute the land wherein you are: for blood it defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Defile not therefore the land which you shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.v. 33 Everyone understands how industrial pollution defiles the land, but we are not talking here about environmental issues that can be solved by politics. This is much more serious than that, and politics is not the solution. The issue is not political, but moral. The issue is the blood of the innocent that goes unavenged. It was a custom to sacrifice little children to the God Moloch and to burn them. It was a custom that Israel fell into, creating a place in the valley of Tophet just outside Jerusalem where they caused their children to pass through the fire. Infanticide was a sin that defiled the land. Simple adultery defiled the land as well. There is much more here. There is a long section above this that deals with incestuous relationships. There are repeated warnings in both the law and the prophets about defiling the land, and it seems that these very warnings were not heeded, that Israel repeatedly defiled the good land they inherited. What are the consequences of all this? Does it mean anything, or is it just words? Is the effect of defilement a mere ceremonial matter without consequences? Regardless of what you may think of the Old Testament, consider this. God is speaking about a fundamental issue of morality. In this case, life itself.

Speaker: Rev J.S. Johnson Message Title: The Handwriting on The Wall or Why God Judges. Scripture Text: Daniel 5:24-30 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. Proverbs 29:1-4 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke. The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson. In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha’i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they’re interested in, and what makes them tick. In this episode, I'm joined by Sean Hinton, the very first Baha'i to ever go to Mongolia, and therefore be given the title 'Knight of Baha'u'llah' (which you can learn more about in a link below). Sean currently lives in Oxford, England with his family. He trained as a musician, but he's had an extremely varied and interesting career, and life for that matter!

Proverbs 28:13 — He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Wisdom From Psalm 65 & Proverbs 13: Whoso Despiseth the Word Shall be Destroyed by Shawn Ozbun
Wednesday Wisdom Proverbs 29 1 He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.3 Whoso loves wisdom rejoices his father: but he that keeps company with harlots spends his substance.4 The king by judgment establishes the land: but he that receives gifts overthrows it.5 A man that flatters his neighbour spreads a net for his feet.6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous does sing and rejoice.7 The righteous considers the cause of the poor: but the wicked regards not to know it.8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.9 If a wise man contends with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.11 A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards.12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the Lord lightens both their eyes.14 The king that faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases: but the righteous shall see their fall.17 Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yes, he shall give delight to your soul.18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he.19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.20 See You a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.21 He that delicately brings up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.22 An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression.23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.24 Whoso is partner with a thief hates his own soul: he hears the oath, and reveals it not.25 The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso puts his trust in the Lord shall be safe.26 Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment comes from the Lord.27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men. Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his chamber, the verses revealed by God, the scattering angels of the Almighty shall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by his mouth, and shall cause the heart of every righteous man to throb.

Q. 145. What are the sins forbidden in the ninth commandment? A. The sins forbidden in the ninth commandment are, all prejudicing the truth, and the good name of our neighbors, as well as our own, especially in public judicature; giving false evidence, suborning false witnesses, wittingly appearing and pleading for an evil cause, . . . calling evil good, and good evil . . . raising false rumors, receiving and countenancing evil reports, and stopping our ears against just defense . . . Westminster Larger Catechism "In the inner man, the heart is the main thing to be kept; in the outer man, the tongue." Charles Bridges "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, a tongue that delivers out salutary instructions, wholesome advice and counsel; a healing tongue which pacifies contending parties, and heals the divisions between them. To have the benefit of such a man's company and conversation is like being in paradise." John Gill "The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life, a fountain of living water, continually running and flowing with water, wholesome, reviving, and refreshing." John Gill "The soft answer need not be a weak one, nor should it imply any compromise of truth, nor any yielding of righteousness. It may be firm in substance, though soft in language and spirit." John Gill "Wise words proceed only from practiced lips. We do not acquire the sacred art of wise and helpful speech in a day or even in the year; it is the happy and exquisite product of patient effort, it is a growth, it is a holy and beneficent habit, it is a grace to be cultivated; we may begin poorly enough, but by earnest endeavour we shall succeed and will continue in well doing." Matthew Henry
Solemnity of the Body and Blood of ChristLectionary: 167 Reading 1 DT 8:2-3, 14B-16A Moses said to the people:"Remember how for forty years now the LORD, your God,has directed all your journeying in the desert,so as to test you by afflictionand find out whether or not it was your intentionto keep his commandments.He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger,and then fed you with manna,a food unknown to you and your fathers,in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live,but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD. "Do not forget the LORD, your God,who brought you out of the land of Egypt,that place of slavery;who guided you through the vast and terrible desertwith its saraph serpents and scorpions,its parched and waterless ground;who brought forth water for you from the flinty rockand fed you in the desert with manna,a food unknown to your fathers." Responsorial Psalm PS 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20 R. (12) Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.or:R. Alleluia.Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem;praise your God, O Zion.For he has strengthened the bars of your gates;he has blessed your children within you.R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.or:R. Alleluia.He has granted peace in your borders;with the best of wheat he fills you.He sends forth his command to the earth;swiftly runs his word!R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.or:R. Alleluia.He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.He has not done thus for any other nation;his ordinances he has not made known to them. Alleluia.R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.or:R. Alleluia. Reading 2 1 COR 10:16-17 Brothers and sisters:The cup of blessing that we bless,is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?The bread that we break,is it not a participation in the body of Christ?Because the loaf of bread is one,we, though many, are one body,for we all partake of the one loaf. Sequence Lauda Sion Laud, O Zion, your salvation,Laud with hymns of exultation,Christ, your king and shepherd true: Bring him all the praise you know,He is more than you bestow.Never can you reach his due. Special theme for glad thanksgivingIs the quick’ning and the livingBread today before you set: From his hands of old partaken,As we know, by faith unshaken,Where the Twelve at supper met. Full and clear ring out your chanting,Joy nor sweetest grace be wanting,From your heart let praises burst: For today the feast is holden,When the institution oldenOf that supper was rehearsed. Here the new law’s new oblation,By the new king’s revelation,Ends the form of ancient rite: Now the new the old effaces,Truth away the shadow chases,Light dispels the gloom of night. What he did at supper seated,Christ ordained to be repeated,His memorial ne’er to cease: And his rule for guidance taking,Bread and wine we hallow, makingThus our sacrifice of peace. This the truth each Christian learns,Bread into his flesh he turns,To his precious blood the wine: Sight has fail’d, nor thought conceives,But a dauntless faith believes,Resting on a pow’r divine. Here beneath these signs are hiddenPriceless things to sense forbidden;Signs, not things are all we see: Blood is poured and flesh is broken,Yet in either wondrous tokenChrist entire we know to be. Whoso of this food partakes,Does not rend the Lord nor breaks;Christ is whole to all that taste: Thousands are, as one, receivers,One, as thousands of believers,Eats of him who cannot waste. Bad and good the feast are sharing,Of what divers dooms preparing,Endless death, or endless life. Life to these, to those damnation,See how like participationIs with unlike issues rife. When the sacrament is broken,Doubt not, but believe ‘tis spoken,That each sever’d outward tokendoth the very whole contain. Nought the precious gift divides,Breaking but the sign betidesJesus still the same abides,still unbroken does remain. The shorter form of the sequence begins here. Lo! the angel’s food is givenTo the pilgrim who has striven;see the children’s bread from heaven,which on dogs may not be spent. Truth the ancient types fulfilling,Isaac bound, a victim willing,Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling,manna to the fathers sent. Very bread, good shepherd, tend us,Jesu, of your love befriend us,You refresh us, you defend us,Your eternal goodness send usIn the land of life to see. You who all things can and know,Who on earth such food bestow,Grant us with your saints, though lowest,Where the heav’nly feast you show,Fellow heirs and guests to be. Amen. Alleluia. Alleluia JN 6:51 R. Alleluia, alleluia.I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord;whoever eats this bread will live forever.R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel JN 6:51-58 Jesus said to the Jewish crowds:"I am the living bread that came down from heaven;whoever eats this bread will live forever;and the bread that I will giveis my flesh for the life of the world." The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,"How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"Jesus said to them,"Amen, amen, I say to you,unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,you do not have life within you.Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my bloodhas eternal life,and I will raise him on the last day.For my flesh is true food,and my blood is true drink.Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my bloodremains in me and I in him.Just as the living Father sent meand I have life because of the Father,so also the one who feeds on mewill have life because of me.This is the bread that came down from heaven.Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died,whoever eats this bread will live forever."
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. Proverbs 12:1
Be not dismayed, O peoples of the world, when the day-star of My beauty is set, and the heaven of My tabernacle is concealed from your eyes. Arise to further My Cause, and to exalt My Word amongst men. We are with you at all times, and shall strengthen you through the power of truth. We are truly almighty. Whoso hath recognized Me will arise and serve Me with such determination that the powers of earth and heaven shall be unable to defeat his purpose.(Gleanings, p.137) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bahaioasis/message
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
