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.

There is a great harvest before you, but sadly, the laborers are few. Pray to the Lord of the harvest that he will send more laborers to gather in his harvest. No one who puts his hand to the plough and then looks back is suitable for the kingdom of God.

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."

Heal the sick, restore the lepers to health , raise the dead, and cast out devils! Remember what I have told you: "Freely you have received. Freely give!"

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

These words I have spoken to you, that in me, and in your obedience to them, you might find peace. In the world you will experience pain and trouble, but rejoice, for I have overcome the world.

V

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for all Your blessings, and humbled by the reality of my nature, I ask and pray that You give me discerning heart for Jesus first, that in all I do and seek I look for Him first; and in all the blessings and people You place in my path I seek Him and look for His truths never letting the lies and rationalizing of that nature take me away from that path to You no matter how narrow. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Isaiah 30:19-21, 23-26

20  And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher.  21  And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
Psalm 147:1-6
Matthew 9:35 – 10:1, 5, 6-8

35  And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.  36  When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  37  Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;  38  pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." 1  And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity.  5  These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans,  6  but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  7  And preach as you go, saying, `The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’  8  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.

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

The Processes: Ask and It Is Given, Volume 2 (Unabridged) Ask and It Is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, which presents the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, will help you learn how to manifest your desires so that you’re living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve. As you listen, you’ll discover powerful processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life. It’s your birthright to live a life filled with everything that is good, and this audio program will show you how to make it so in every way!

There’s No Such Thing as "Business" Ethics (Unabridged) Best-selling author and expert on leadership John C. Maxwell claims there is only one rule for business. How does a person judge what is ethical? Sometimes it’s clear. You know Enron’s leaders were in the wrong. But is it always easy to see where the line is in your life? What’s the standard? And can it work in all situations? John C. Maxwell thinks it can. When the New York Times best-selling author, successful businessman, and former pastor was asked about his thoughts on business ethics, his response was, "There’s no such thing. There’s only ethics." Maxwell asserts there’s one ethical standard for all behavior. And you might be surprised by what it’s based on. Did you know that a variation of the Golden Rule exists in every major religion? In There’s No Such Thing as Business Ethics, Maxwell shows how people can live with integrity by using the Golden Rule as their standard (regardless of religion, culture, or circumstances). Along the way, he delves into the desires of the human heart, reveals the five most common causes that get people off track ethically, and teaches how to develop the Midas touch when it comes to integrity.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

Faith that Moves Mountains

According to your faith, so you will receive.

Many will come in the last days, from every corner of the earth, and enter into the kingdom of heaven. But the self-righteous and pious, who thought they would be first, and yet lived their lives without faith, will not enter in.

If two agree by faith, my Father in heaven will grant their request. For wherever two or three are gathered in my name, I am present with them.

If you believe all things to be possible and leave no room for doubt, what you ask or command will be done. This is why I tell you: whatever it is that you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and you will.

As you live your life invigorated by the breath of God, the conflicts of this earth will be overcome by heaven’s power: and whatever you allocate on earth will be that which is in accordance to heaven’s plan.

Do not be afraid any longer, but believe. Everything is possible to the one who believes.

V

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful and humble I read the Words of my Lord Jesus; ‘These words I have spoken to you, that in me, and in your obedience to them, you might find peace. In the world you will experience pain and trouble, but rejoice, for I have overcome the world.’ And I know I have not been obedient, yet because of Him I am forgiven, and through Him I learn about You, and I know in the Spirit which is alive in me, and through Him I am with You, and in You with Him in the Spirit I feel peace, the peace only You through Him who overcame that which I cannot will His Spirit lead me back home to You. I give thanks and listen attentively in His Words. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Isaiah 29:17-24

17  Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?  18  In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.  19  The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.  
Psalm 27:1, 4, 13-14

4  One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.  13  I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!  14  Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yea, wait for the LORD! 
Matthew 9:27-31

27  And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David."  28  When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."  29  Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."  30  And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, "See that no one knows it."  31  But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

A Place for You

I go to prepare a place for you.

Know this: if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you to be there with me; so that where I am, there you may be also. Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I must go away, but I will come again to you. If you truly loved me you would rejoice, because I return to the Father.

V

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful, yet humble that t is by Your grace and mercy alone that I walk, I do ask and pray for Your blessings indeed. That your hand would be with me and mine to keep us from evil and from causing pain. I pray that You would touch our hearts through the spirit of the Advent season awakening us to the importance to put and keep Jesus at the center of our Christmas; and that through and in Jesus take refuge in His love and passion for us by doing Your will for us first, above our desires, above all. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Problem of Religion

Take Heed: Beware of living your life on religious “food.”

By now you have certainly forgotten the five loaves that fed the five thousand with twelve baskets left over, and the seven loaves that fed the four thousand and the plenty that remained. But I am not speaking to you about earthly food. No, I have come to warn you against feeding on the ideas and false teachings of those who market on religion.

In vain such people worship me, teaching as doctrines what are merely the inventions of men. Preoccupied with their own superstitions, they have forgotten the commandments of God.

V

Abba, Father, Lord God, humble knowing I am nothing without, thankful for each and every blessing, I still ask and pray for You to bless me and mine indeed, enlarging our territory. That Your hand would be with us to keep us from evil and from causing any pain. That we would each grow in Jesus, and in this season of Advent meditate on what You through Jesus in the Spirit us to us, and stop using the problem with religion as an excuse, a barrier that separates us from You. For there is You one God, and Jesus one Lord and Savior, and one Spirit in each of us; who works with our individual spiritual gifts according to Your will. So help me, help us, walk in the light according to the Words of Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Isaiah 25:6-10
Psalm 23:1-6

1  The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;  2  he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;  3  he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.  4  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.  5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.  6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Matthew 15:29-37

29  And Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain, and sat down there.  30  And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,  31  so that the throng wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.  32  Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."  33  And the disciples said to him, "Where are we to get bread enough in the desert to feed so great a crowd?"  34  And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."  35  And commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground,  36  he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.  37  And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

The New Doctrine

Whoever hears my words and acts upon them is wise, and builds on a foundation made of stone.

The rains descend, and the floods rise. Hurricane winds beat against the house, yet it stands strong: for it is built on solid rock.

But whoever hears my life-giving words and rejects them chooses to build on a foundation of sand. The rains descend, and the floods rise. Hurricane winds beat against the house, and the foundation crumbles. The house collapses, and great is its fall.

Abba, Father, Lord God, humbled by knowledge of myself and human condition, thankful for the seed in my heart that seeks knowledge of You, Your truths, Your ways, and Your secrets to the human condition and its role in developing and purifying the spirit which inhabits the body and lives by Your breath. Breathing in the Your Wisdom of the Cosmos and breathing out the consciousness on this human condition as one with a discerning heart walks under the sun deciding and discerning for themselves which path to walk to find their way home, home to You. I pray that the seed You planted in my heart will grow strong roots throughout my body during this season of joy for Jesus, and wiser in Your ways and truths constantly discerning that information and knowledge under the sun with the eyes, hears and heart of Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear;  4  but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.  5  Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.  6  The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.  7  The cow and the bear shall feed; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.  8  The sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.  9  They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.  10  In that day the root of Jesse shall stand as an ensign to the peoples; him shall the nations seek, and his dwellings shall be glorious.

According to your faith, so you will receive.

Many will come in the last days, from every corner of the earth, and enter into the kingdom of heaven. But the self-righteous and pious, who thought they would be first, and yet lived their lives without faith, will not enter in.

If you believe all things to be possible and leave no room for doubt, what you ask or command will be done. This is why I tell you: whatever it is that you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and you will.

As you live your life invigorated by the breath of God, the conflicts of this earth will be overcome by heaven’s power: and whatever you allocate on earth will be that which is in accordance to heaven’s plan.

Do not be afraid any longer, but believe. Everything is possible to the one who believes.

Abba, Father, Lord God, humbled, troubled, yet thankful I come to You for peace; the peace that can be received and given to others in great need. For I know that You will provide and take care of me, and that it is only in the times and in the ways under the sun that I give up the peace I have with You for struggle and worry about things I cannot change. Help me walk in the peace of this moment so that I may pray for my brethren and companions’ sake and be able to truly say, "Peace be within you!" In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.  4  He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 
Psalm 122:1-9

8  For my brethren and companions’ sake I will say, "Peace be within you!"
Matthew 8:5-11

5  As he entered Caper’na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him  6  and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress."  7  And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."  8  But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.  9  For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, `Go,’ and he goes, and to another, `Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, `Do this,’ and he does it."  10  When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.  11  I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

There’s No Such Thing as "Business" Ethics (Unabridged) Best-selling author and expert on leadership John C. Maxwell claims there is only one rule for business. How does a person judge what is ethical? Sometimes it’s clear. You know Enron’s leaders were in the wrong. But is it always easy to see where the line is in your life? What’s the standard? And can it work in all situations? John C. Maxwell thinks it can. When the New York Times best-selling author, successful businessman, and former pastor was asked about his thoughts on business ethics, his response was, "There’s no such thing. There’s only ethics." Maxwell asserts there’s one ethical standard for all behavior. And you might be surprised by what it’s based on. Did you know that a variation of the Golden Rule exists in every major religion? In There’s No Such Thing as Business Ethics, Maxwell shows how people can live with integrity by using the Golden Rule as their standard (regardless of religion, culture, or circumstances). Along the way, he delves into the desires of the human heart, reveals the five most common causes that get people off track ethically, and teaches how to develop the Midas touch when it comes to integrity.
