To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From; GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper,
that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD
James 1:1–6 (NASB95) 1 James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To
the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings. 2 Consider it
all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing
that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let
endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and
complete, lacking in nothing. 5 But
if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and
without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in
faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea,
driven and tossed by the wind.
Hebrews 12:7–23 (The Living Bible) 7 Let God train you, for he is doing what any loving father does for
his children. Whoever heard of a son who was never corrected? 8 If
God doesn’t punish you when you need it, as other fathers punish their sons,
then it means that you aren’t really God’s son at all—that you don’t really
belong in his family. 9 Since we respect our fathers here on earth, though they punish us,
should we not all the more cheerfully submit to God’s training so that we can
begin really to live? 10 Our earthly fathers trained us for a few
brief years, doing the best for us that they knew how, but God’s correction is
always right and for our best good, that we may share his holiness. 11
Being punished isn’t enjoyable while it is happening—it hurts! But afterwards
we can see the result, a quiet growth in grace and character. 12 So
take a new grip with your tired hands, stand firm on your shaky legs, 13
and mark out a straight, smooth path for your feet so that those who follow
you, though weak and lame, will not fall and hurt themselves but become strong.
14 Try to stay out of all quarrels, and seek to live a clean and
holy life, for one who is not holy will not see the Lord. 15 Look after each other so that not one of
you will fail to find God’s best blessings. Watch out that no bitterness takes
root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in
their spiritual lives. 16 Watch out that no one becomes involved
in sexual sin or becomes careless about God as Esau did: he traded his rights
as the oldest son for a single meal. 17 And afterwards, when he wanted
those rights back again, it was too late, even though he wept bitter tears of
repentance. So remember, and be careful. 18 You have not had to
stand face-to-face with terror, flaming fire, gloom, darkness, and a terrible
storm as the Israelites did at Mount Sinai when God gave them his laws. 19
For there was an awesome trumpet blast and a voice with a message so terrible
that the people begged God to stop speaking. 20 They staggered back
under God’s command that if even an animal touched the mountain it must die. 21
Moses himself was so frightened at the sight that he shook with terrible fear. 22
But you have come right up into Mount
Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the
gathering of countless happy angels; 23 and to the church, composed
of all those registered in heaven; and to God who is Judge of all; and to the
spirits of the redeemed in heaven, already made perfect;
Hebrews 12:23–29 (NASB95) 23 to the general
assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God,
the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24
and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which
speaks better than the blood of Abel. 25 See to it that you
do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they
refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape
who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. 26 And His
voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet
once more I will shake not only
the earth, but also the heaven.”
27 This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of
those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things
which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us
show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with
reverence and awe; 29 for our God is a consuming fire.

Living God to give you the interpretation.
2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
