Words of Jesus
And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven."
Never rise from the table without having given thanks to the Lord. If we act in this way we need have no fear of the wretched sin of gluttony. — St. Padre Pio
Abba, Father, Lord God, today the Words of Jesus about the Holy Spirit consume me mind; for I believe You planted in all our hearts Your Holy Spirit. Some are blessed to hear and obey, others like me must be shook and awakened before we hear and learn to obey, yet others may never feel, hear or see for they let the ways under the sun harden their hearts, deafen the ears and blind their eyes to the Spirit. O heavenly Father, my Lord God, for the sake of His sorrowful mercy have mercy on us and on the whole world. And just as You have used others to help awaken me, I ask that You would use me to awaken someone for You and all You have done for and in me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
2 Samuel 5:1-7, 10</vbible/search.asp?abbr=_2Sam&ch=5&bv1=1&ev1=7&bv2=10&ev2=10>
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said, "Behold, we are your bone and flesh. 2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you that led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD said to you, `You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over Israel.'" 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel. 4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 5 At Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and at Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years. 6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jeb'usites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will ward you off" — thinking, "David cannot come in here." 7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David. 10 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of hosts, was with him.
Psalm 89:20-22, 25-26</vbible/search.asp?abbr=Ps&ch=89&bv1=20&ev1=22&bv2=25&ev2=26>
20 I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him; 21 so that my hand shall ever abide with him, my arm also shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not outwit him, the wicked shall not humble him. 25 I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. 26 He shall cry to me, `Thou art my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.'
Mark 3:22-30</vbible/search.asp?abbr=Mark&ch=3&bv1=22&ev1=30>
22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Be-el'zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons." 23 And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27 But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house. 28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" — 30 for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit."
