The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Kingdom of Heaven

Since the time of John the Baptiser until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and great is the number that eagerly, and in desperation, have seized hold of its truth.

The kingdom of heaven can be likened to a farmer’s wheat field, planted with good seed. One night, while the farmer slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds among the wheat. When the first blades of wheat finally pushed up through the earth, weeds appeared alongside. Seeing this, the servants rushed to the farmer, and with distressed voices wept: “Sir, did not we sow good seed in your field? Why then are there so many darnel weeds?”

The farmer answered: “An enemy has done this.”

“Shall we try to remove them?” the servants asked.

“No,” the farmer replied. “If you pull up the weeds, you will uproot the wheat as well. Let them both grow together until the harvest time ; and at the time of the harvest I will instruct the reapers as follows: ‘Gather first the weeds, and bind them into bundles for burning. Then gather the wheat into my storehouse.’”

Here is the lesson: he that sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world. The good seed represents the children of the kingdom, while the remaining seeds represent those deceived by the wicked one. The enemy that planted the weeds is the evil one. The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels. Just as the darnel weeds were gathered and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather everything that has caused humankind to stumble and those who live lawlessly outside of the kingdom, and will exile them to a place of weeping and regret. Then the righteous will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears to hear, then hear these words.

One cannot be liberated from the kingdom of the evil one without first binding his power.

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful that I can feel, humbled that I cannot or do walk every step feeling. In Your words I feel my source of source, in Jesus words I feel sanctified and while I know I am not worthy in Jesus I am made worthy to sit here before You in the word open to conviction, seeking wisdom and praying for those unable to feel with closed hardening hearts. O that Your Word would find its way into their heart, let one of Thy words be heard, one of Thy acts be seen, awaken them to the only feeling under the sun that completes us no matter where we walk or what we face. This I ask and pray, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Imagine your anger to be a kind of wild beast, because it has ferocious teeth and claws, and if you don’t tame it, it will devastate all things even corrupting the soul.

Hebrews 10:32-39

32  But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,  33  sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.  34  For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.  35  Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.  36  For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.  37  "For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;  38  but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."  39  But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls. 
Psalm 37:3-6, 23-24, 39-40

23  The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights;  24  though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD is the stay of his hand. 
Mark 4:26-34

26  And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground,  27  and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how.  28  The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.  29  But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."  30  And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?  31  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth;  32  yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade."  33  With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it;  34  he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

On a Fruitful Life      

The fruit of people’s lives will reveal the life they have chosen to live.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its power to purify, flavor, and preserve, how can it be made salt again? It is worthless, except to be discarded and trampled underfoot.

Do you pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from among thistles? A healthy tree cannot produce unhealthy fruit; nor does a rotten tree produce healthy fruit. Likewise, every good tree produces good fruit, and every rotten tree produces rotten fruit. The unhealthy tree is cut down and used as wood for the fire.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful for this moment that I can control, I can chose; humbled by the shortness of the moment, the speed in which it passes into memory, good or bad. All the more the reason I keep to You each day, to ready myself, preparing and praying to be conscious in the moment with You so the memory will be good and the fruit also good. For all the things under the sun are passing, but the light we shine on others that opens their hearts to You is ever lasting. Help me light the path for someone today. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Mental prayer is nothing else but being on terms of friendship with God, frequently conversing in secret with Him.

Hebrews 10:19-25

19  Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,  20  by the new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,  21  and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 

22  let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.  23  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;  24  and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,  25  not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. 
Psalm 24:1-6

3  Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?  4  He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully.  5  He will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of his salvation. 
Mark 4:21-25

21  And he said to them, "Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand?  22  For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light.  23  If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."  24  And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.  25  For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away."

Food for the Soul

It is written: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out from the mouth of God."

I am the bread of life: if you come to me, you will never again hunger spiritually; and if you believe in me, you will never again know spiritual thirst. Rise up! Take hold of the living bread, the spiritual bread that has come down from heaven: if you eat of this bread, you will live forever. The bread that I offer you is my life, which I give for the life of the world. I am the bread of life come down from heaven so that you may feast on spiritual food, and because of this receive spiritual life and not die.

All of your energies are spent in the pursuit of food that perishes; instead, seek spiritual food that will endure forever. This is the food that I long to give you, for God the Father has given me this power.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humbly I pray for all those that walk a sleep; awaken them to the power of Your Words, the truth of Jesus’ teaches, the eternal life that is in the Spirit. Awaken them to the ‘food for the soul’! Given them ears to hear, eyes to see, and a heart likened to Christ Jesus to feel the Your words, works and Your presence. We do not walk alone, and they need not feel alone. Awaken them to Your presence in the Spirit through Jesus together with the Spirit are one with You, as we can if we awaken ourselves to You Words and Jesus’ teachings in and of His passion. This I ask and pray in His name, the name of Jesus, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Hebrews 10:11-18

15  And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, 16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds," 17 then he adds, "I will remember their sins and their misdeeds no more." 18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
Psalm 110:1-4

1  The LORD says to my lord: "Sit at my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool." 4 The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, "You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchiz’edek."
Mark 4:1-20

1 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3 "Listen! A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil; 6 and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold." 9 And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." 10 And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables. 11 And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables; 12 so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven." 13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word. 15 And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word which is sown in them. 16 And these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; 17 and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. 18 And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world, and the delight in riches, and the desire for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20 But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

The Call

You have not chosen me. I have chosen you, and appointed you to produce good fruit from the lives that you live, fruit that will last.

Enter therefore through the narrow gate; for wide is the path, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many go that way. But narrow is the gate and the path which leads to life, and there are few that find it. Make every effort to go through the gate that leads to life. One day, many will want to exchange their way for the right way, and find it to be too late.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful for Your presence in my life, humbly I come in pray, praying for all those who feel alone, feel helpless and hopeless, who are suffering and in pain. Let Thy hand of comfort bring peace upon them and Thy words be a place where they learn to come to for rest. And while resting in Thy words let them renew their faith, and with eyes of faith rekindle the hope, and in that hope learn to walk in peace and love knowing that no matter what we think or face; we can change what has happened or control what will take place, all we have is this moment where we are free to choose. I ask that You help them to choose Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Hebrews 10:1-10

5  Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, "Sacrifices and offerings thou hast not desired, but a body hast thou prepared for me;  6  in burnt offerings and sin offerings thou hast taken no pleasure.  7  Then I said, `Lo, I have come to do thy will, O God, ‘as it is written of me in the roll of the book."  8  When he said above, "Thou hast neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law),  9  then he added, "Lo, I have come to do thy will." He abolishes the first in order to establish the second.  10  And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 
Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-8, 10-11

2  He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.  4  Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods! 
Mark 3:31-35

31  And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him.  32  And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, asking for you."  33  And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?"  34  And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!  35  Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother."

Likewise, every good tree produces good fruit, and every rotten tree produces rotten fruit. The unhealthy tree is cut down and used as wood for the fire.

Once, a man planted a fig tree within the walls of his vineyard. For three years he waited for it to bear fruit, but none came. At last he called the chief gardener: "Three years I have walked here, each year expecting to find fruit from this fig tree; and still it is barren. Why should it take up space on my grounds any longer? Cut it down."

To this, the gardener replied: "Give the tree one more season. I will fertilize its roots and give it special attention. Perhaps then, it will bear fruit. If not, you do right in cutting it down."

When your lives bear fruit, my Father is glorified, and you are become my true disciples. From a good life flows goodness from what is stored within; while an evil life produces only barrenness.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, humbly and gratefully I know as Paul writes to Timothy, You ‘did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control’ I ask and pray that through Jesus in the Spirit You guide me in developing and must of all using the spiritual gifts You have given me Your service. Let everyone that feels the Spirit be moved to service, remember above all to seek Your Kingdom first, and to put You ways above our desires for all we know and desire is passing, and Your ways are eternal. And as the gardener we must constantly feed ourselves on Your Words and give special attention to the teaching of Jesus, our Lord. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

2 Timothy 1:1-8

6  Hence I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands;  7  for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.  8  Do not be ashamed then of testifying to our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel in the power of God,

Psalm 96:1-3, 7-8, 10
Mark 3:22-30

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."

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Kingdom of Heaven

Since the time of John the Baptiser until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and great is the number that eagerly, and in desperation, have seized hold of its truth.

The kingdom of heaven can be likened to a farmer’s wheat field, planted with good seed. One night, while the farmer slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds among the wheat. When the first blades of wheat finally pushed up through the earth, weeds appeared alongside. Seeing this, the servants rushed to the farmer, and with distressed voices wept: “Sir, did not we sow good seed in your field? Why then are there so many darnel weeds?”

The farmer answered: “An enemy has done this.”

“Shall we try to remove them?” the servants asked.

“No,” the farmer replied. “If you pull up the weeds, you will uproot the wheat as well. Let them both grow together until the harvest time ; and at the time of the harvest I will instruct the reapers as follows: ‘Gather first the weeds, and bind them into bundles for burning. Then gather the wheat into my storehouse.’”

Here is the lesson: he that sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world. The good seed represents the children of the kingdom, while the remaining seeds represent those deceived by the wicked one. The enemy that planted the weeds is the evil one. The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels. Just as the darnel weeds were gathered and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather everything that has caused humankind to stumble and those who live lawlessly outside of the kingdom, and will exile them to a place of weeping and regret. Then the righteous will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears to hear, then hear these words.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, humbly I pray that You keep likening my heart to Jesus, giving me knowledge and wisdom to be able to walk among the darnel weeds and not stumble off the narrow path of Thy ways, give me the faith to persevere, the strength to keep hoping, and the courage to keep loving – unconditionally!  In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

V

In order to acquire tranquility in action it is necessary to carefully consider what we are capable of accomplishing and never to undertake more than that. It is self-love, ever more anxious to do much rather than to do well and this self-love that wishes to undertake everything and accomplishes nothing!

Jonah 3:1-5, 10

4  Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s journey. And he cried, "Yet forty days, and Nin’eveh shall be overthrown!"  5  And the people of Nin’eveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.  10  When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did not do it. 
Psalm 25:4-9

4  Make me to know thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.  5  Lead me in thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long.  7  Remember not the sins of my youth, or my transgressions; according to thy steadfast love remember me, for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD!  9  He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. 
1 Corinthians 7:29-31

29  I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none,  30  and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods,  31  and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the form of this world is passing away. 
Mark 1:14-20

14  Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,  15  and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."  16  And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.  17  And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."

But there is no reconciliation for those who, seeing evil as good and good as evil, blaspheme the Holy Spirit. This transgression is eternal. Heed these words. All about you, evil men and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of heaven ahead of you. These have heard the call to life and have turned to God, while the pious and religious have heard the call and have deliberately turned away.

Prayer is not achieved by repetition. It is not by reiterating “Lord, Lord,” that you will enter the kingdom of heaven, but by doing the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Without material goods, money, or support, I have sent you out as witnesses. Equipped with the message of new life, you have blessed others. Did you once lack for anything?

Do not allow your worries to consume tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. Surely there is enough to concern you each day without fretting about the future. Which of you by mental effort can add one inch to your height?

Consider the birds of the air. They are not consumed with worry. At night they sleep soundly, knowing that their heavenly Father cares for them. Do you not matter more than the birds?

Are not two sparrows sold in the marketplace for a few pennies? Still, one of them cannot fall to the ground without your heavenly Father’s knowledge. Cease being afraid. You are of greater value than many flocks of sparrows. Even the very hairs of your head are numbered.

Why then worry about what you will wear? Consider the lilies growing wild in the fields, blooming without effort. Even King Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed as beautifully as one of these. If God has so cared for that which grows wild in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is cast into the fire, will he not care for you much more? How can you have such little faith?

Therefore, stop saying: “What will I eat? What will I drink? Will I ever have enough to clothe myself?” This is how the faithless think, anxious for everything. Be at peace! Your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all of these things, and more.

Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of your needs will be provided.

Lord God, Abba Father, humbly I ask and pray that for the sake of His sorrowful passion You have mercy on us and on the whole world. Let Your hand rest upon those souls who with humility recognize their need of You, who put their whole trust in You, who are acquainted with sorrow, who suffer blame and are spoken of evilly, who hunger and thirst after righteousness, who are merciful, who are pure in heart, who hear Your word and follow it where ever it leads; replenish and renew their spirit so, like the good servants they seek and try to be, when the Jesus comes, they will all be found doing right and putting Your Kingdom of Heaven first. For those who know Jesus come to You through and with knowledge that by the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to You, purifies our conscience from dead works to serve You our living God in Jesus name. This I ask and pray in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

"Guard" says St Paul, "what has been committed". What does it mean? It is what has been faithfully entrusted to you, not what has been discovered by you; what you have received, not what you have thought up; be not the leader but the follower!

Hebrews 9:2-3, 11-14

2  For a tent was prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence; it is called the Holy Place.  3  Behind the second curtain stood a tent called the Holy of Holies,  11  But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)  12  he entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.  13  For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh,  14  how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
Psalm 47:2-3, 6-9
Mark 3:20-21

20  Then he went home; and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat.  21  And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, "He is beside himself."  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."

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:

When Heaven Invades Earth Unabridged By Bill Johnson Narrated by Tim Lundeen – When Heaven Invades Earth is a powerful statement and testimony on the Kingdom of God. Theologically sound, well supported, and extremely well argued, this message provides a carefully constructed biblical foundation for the average Christian to live and walk in the miraculous power of God. Not only is the supernatural possible, it is our commission. The Great Commission that Christ gave the Church challenges us and makes us responsible to rise up to this supreme supernatural calling. Johnson explains how we are called to dominion in the earth through the divine rule of God.
