He is generous even to exhaustion; and what is most wonderful is, that He gives Himself thus entirely, not once only, but every day, if we wish it.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

THE PROBLEM OF RELIGION

 

BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS WHO STAND BEFORE YOU WEARING SHEEP’S CLOTHING. BENEATH THEIR GUISE HIDES A RAVENOUS WOLF. THEY FOLLOW THEIR TRUE MASTER, THE EVIL ONE, AND DO WHAT AS HE COMMANDS THEM. HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING AND NEVER TOLD THE TRUTH, BECAUSE THERE WAS NEVER TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE LIES, HE SPEAKS IN CHARACTER, FOR HE IS A LIAR, AND THE FATHER OF LIES.

 

TO THOSE WHO SET THEMSELVES UP TO BE YOUR JUDGES, I SAY, JUDGMENT UPON YOU, FALSE TEACHERS. HYPOCRITES! YOU, WHO WILL NEVER ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BAR THE VERY WAY TO THOSE WHO LONG TO GO IN. YOU TRAVEL ACROSS LAND AND SEA TO GAIN ONE PROSELYTE AND WHEN THAT PERSON IS WON, YOU MAKE THEM TWO TIMES MORE THE CHILD OF HELL THAN YOU ARE YOURSELVES. DO YOU NOT MERIT GREAT DAMNATION?

Lord God, Abba Father, Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

He is generous even to exhaustion; and what is most wonderful is, that He gives Himself thus entirely, not once only, but every day, if we wish it. Every fresh Communion is a new gift which Jesus Christ makes of Himself.

Genesis 1:202:4

20  And God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens."  21  So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  22  And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."  23  And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. 

24  And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so.  25  And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  26  Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."  27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  28  And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."  29  And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.  30  And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.  31  And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. 

1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.  2  And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.  3  So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.  4  These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Psalm 8:4-9
Mark 7:1-13

1  Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,  2  they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.  3  (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders;  4  and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.)  5  And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?"  6  And he said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, `This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;  7  in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’  8  You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men."  9  And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God, in order to keep your tradition!  10  For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother’; and, `He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die’;  11  but you say, `If a man tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is Corban’ (that is, given to God) —  12  then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,  13  thus making void the word of God through your tradition which you hand on. And many such things you do."

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.
