The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Father

 

What do you think of Jesus Christ? Whose Son is he?

 

When at last you lift up the Son of Man (on the cross), you will know who I am, realizing that I did nothing according to my own plan or authority, but delivered to you the words which my Father instructed me to proclaim.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful for what I believe and know, humbled by what I don’t know and all that causes me to doubt. Yet I feel as much blessed as I do needful; for at have what I know, and this I feel is so much more than so many. So I lift all those souls who cannot feel the Spirit within or who harden themselves not to feel. For I know it is better to feel and still be wanting, and humbled by ones weakness in being human than not to feel at all. One must stay out of that void, that empty state that is neither blessed or wanting for that is where evil waits, to feed on our weakness, to use our humanity against us. Help us stay hungry for You and Your word, always guiding us back to Jesus, where at the foot of the Cross blessing and want come together in knowledge, knowledge of who Jesus Christ is and what He does and means for and to each of us. It is not always easy to be wanting, but wanting for Jesus must become as natural and each breath we take, and just as we cannot go many moments without breathing, we should not walk many steps without thinking and seeking His will first. Help us use doubt to strengthen our belief as iron sharpens iron makes us know and feel our strength in and with Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The disbelief of Thomas has done more for our faith than the faith of the other disciples. As he touches Christ and is won over to belief, every doubt is cast aside and our faith is strengthened. "My Lord and My God.".

— Pope St. Gregory the Great

Malachi 3:1-4

2  But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? "For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap;  3  he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, till they present right offerings to the LORD. 
Psalm 24:7-10
Hebrews 2:14-18

16  For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham.  17  Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.  18  For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. 
Luke 2:22-40

22  And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  23  (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord")  24  and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."  25  Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.  26  And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.  27  And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law,  28  he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,  29  "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word;  30  for mine eyes have seen thy salvation  31  which thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples,  32  a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to thy people Israel."  33  And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him;  34  and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against  35  (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."  36  And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phan’u-el, of the tribe of Asher; she was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity,  37  and as a widow till she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day.  38  And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.  39  And when they had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.  40  And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

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.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humble I am searching and as I do I read today’s Gospel and the words of Jesus jump out at me ‘be silent, and come out of him!’ O if I could command the doubt, the uncertainty that flows within me I would say these words. But knowing me as I have come to I simply pray ‘Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our sins as we forgive those that have sinned against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver from evil. For Yours is the kingdom, and the glory forever and ever, amen.’ In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Deuteronomy 18:15-20
Psalm 95:1-2, 6-9
1 Corinthians 7:32-35

32  I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord;  33  but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife,  34  and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband.  35  I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord. 
Mark 1:21-28

21  And they went into Caper’na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.  22  And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.  23  And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;  24  and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."  25  But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"  26  And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.  27  And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."  28  And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Great Commission

 

Let those who are spiritually dead attend to their earthly concerns; but you go and proclaim the coming of the kingdom of God to the waiting world.

 

If you believe in me, you will do the same works that I do. Even greater works will you accomplish, for I must return to my Father in Heaven. If you wish to serve me, follow me; and where I am, there you, my servant, will be as well, honored by my Father.

 

Go announce to the world: "The kingdom of heaven has come to dwell among you."

 

If you are not for me, you are against me; and they that do not gather with me, scatter.

 

Whenever you are invited into a house, offer first a blessing, and say: "Peace be to this house." If those in the house are for peace, your blessing will be accepted, and they will be benefited. If not, the benefits of your blessing will return to you.

 

Do not hesitate to accept hospitality, yet remain purposeful. Resist aimless wandering. Enjoy whatever food and drink is offered you, for the person who labors is worthy of just wages.

 

Those who accept you accept me also, and they that accept me welcome also the Father who has sent me.

 

Be warned: there will be those who will attempt to silence your witness of me. You will be summoned to court and dealt with unfairly, and imprisoned on behalf of me. Because of my words, you will be asked to testify before those who do not believe, before rulers, governors, and kings.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, humbled by my inability to call on Your power in every moment and with every step; thankful for knowing that if I keep my eyes on You, my faith in Your words, and my hope in Jesus’ promise, You will be there. And while I may feel I am without You in every moment, and I am walking alone. That fact is when I look back in the Spirit through Jesus with You, I see, I know that the reason I only see one set of footprints is because that is when You were carrying me. So even though I may feel alone, I am never alone for You are always with me. Thank You Jesus! Thank You Abba Father! In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, Amen.

What does it cost us to say: "My God help me! Have mercy on me!" Is there anything easier than this? And this little will  suffice to save us if we be diligent in doing it.

Hebrews 12:18-19, 21-24
Psalm 48:2-4, 9-11
Mark 6:7-13

7  And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.  8  He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;  9  but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.  10  And he said to them, "Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place.  11  And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them."  12  So they went out and preached that men should repent.  13  And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

"Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?"

February 1, 2009

V

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

Always

 

As my Father has sent me, so I send you.

 

Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Go into the world, and proclaim this good news to all people. Those that believe and are baptized will discover salvation; but those that believe not will be lost.

 

Attend the promise of the Father, which you have heard from me. John, called the Baptizer, cleansed his followers by immersing them in water, but you will be made new by the very breath of God.

 

You will receive new power when the breath of God has come among you; and you will be my witnesses, beginning here in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria , to the uttermost parts of the earth.

 

Breathe deep the breath of God. Teach, even as I have taught you. And remember that I am with you always, even to the end of the world.

 

Receive the Holy Spirit!

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful for each sign, no matter how small; grateful that I can feel Your hand at work. Humbled by how I get in Your way; with all supplication I come before You for help. Help me become one in the spirit with You and enable me to call upon Your power and wisdom. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent.

Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-19

13  But to what angel has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand, till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet"?  14  Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation? 
(Ps)  Luke 1:69-75

74  to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, 
Mark 4:35-41

35  On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."  36  And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.  37  And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.  38  But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care if we perish?"  39  And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  40  He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?"  41  And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?"

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

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.

V

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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."

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.
