Then Jesus said to His
disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take
up his cross and follow Me. “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it;
but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. “For What Will It
Profit A Man If He Gains The Whole World And Forfeits His Soul?
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; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among
us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,
full of grace and truth.
Matthew 16:1–4 (The Living Bible) 1 One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test
Jesus’ claim of being the Messiah by asking him to show them some great
demonstrations in the skies. 2 He replied, “You are
good at reading the weather signs of the skies—red sky tonight means fair
weather tomorrow; red sky in the morning means foul weather all day—but you
can’t read the obvious signs of the times! 4 This evil, unbelieving nation is asking for some strange sign in
the heavens, but no further proof will be given except the miracle that
happened to Jonah.” Then Jesus walked out
on them.
Matthew 16:5–12 (NASB95) 5 And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but
they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 They began to discuss this among
themselves, saying, “He said that because we did not bring any
bread.” 8 But Jesus, aware of this, said, “You men of
little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread? 9 “Do you not yet understand or remember the five loaves of the five
thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up? 10 “Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many large
baskets full you picked up? 11 “How is it that you do
not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood
that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of
the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:13–17 (The Living Bible) 13 When Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi, he asked
his disciples, “Who are the people saying I am?” 14 “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah;
some, Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” 15 Then he asked them, “Who do you think I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “The Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the
living God.” 17 “God has blessed you, Simon, son of Jonah,”
Jesus said, “for my Father in heaven has personally revealed this to you—this
is not from any human source.
Matthew 16:18–20 (Williams) 18 And I, yes I, tell you, your name from now on is to be Peter,
Rock, and on a massive rock like this I will build my church, and the powers of
the underworld shall never overthrow it. 19 I will give you
the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever your forbid on earth must be
what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth must be
what is already permitted in heaven.” 20 Then he admonished the
disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
Matthew 16:21–28 (NASB95) 21 From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go
to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and
scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it,
Lord! This shall never happen to You.” 23 But He turned and said
to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are
not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.” 24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come
after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 25 “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever
loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 “For what will it profit a man if he gains the
whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his
soul? 27 “For the Son of Man is going to come in the
glory of His Father with His angels, and will
then repay every man according to
his deeds. 28 “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here
who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
Today is January 11, 2017. Please open your Bible and
take the time to read Psalms Chapter 11, uninterrupted. Ask the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to teach you and give you His wisdom and
understanding. Praise God!
Please Note: Always Read the Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the
Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you “Heavenly Wisdom and Heavenly
Understanding” (1 Corinthians 1:,2: & 3:). Always
fill the well within you with the Pure Word of God, His Pure Truth; fill the
well to overflowing. “Do not lean on your own understanding” (Proverbs
3:) or fractionate verses or sections of His Word that by human or
carnal wisdom lead to earthly or religious understandings, doctrines and
practices. It is not for us to interpret the Word of God.
There is only one truth to any given matter and The Holy Spirit will
reveal that truth and confirm that truth in The Word; time and time again in
your heart, but you must be willing to put aside all (religious teachings
and carnal interpretations) and allow “His winnowing fork to separate
the wheat from the chaff with unquenchable fire”; this is the true baptism
of the Holy Spirit and Fire. (Matthew 3:) Please
remember it is only the seed that we as humans can plant and water, Heavenly
Wisdom, Heavenly Understanding and Growth come directly from God,
by and through the Holy Spirit with us and in us (1 Corinthians 3:, John
14:) for those who will open their hearts and minds to Him and come
with humility, fear, obedience and reverence.
Know His Truth: “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.”
(2 Peter
1:)
Gain “Heavenly Wisdom and Heavenly Understanding” by and
through the Holy Spirit of the Living God, who is “with you and in you” (John
14:); These are the promises to each who are truly born again, those
who love and obey our Lord King Jesus. (John 14: & 15; 1 John 5:);
the true sons and daughters of the King. So, “Be not Wise in
your own eyes”. (Proverbs 3:) knowing without a doubt
that the: “natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of
God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because
they are spiritually appraised.” (1 Corinthians 2:14).
His Truth is His Truth, because He is the Truth. It can only
be understood with Heavenly Wisdom and Heavenly Understanding as He and He
alone gives and confirms in His Word.
Read His Word In Context – Fill The Well Within You with His Living
Water.
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living Bible) 9 Yet
it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave
him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on
earth and under the earth, 11 and
every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
