How many times have you reached out to someone; and poured your heart out; Doing for them as you would for your own children; and all you get in return is the fruit of ungratefulness. There is not even a mention of your kindness toward them. Not so with King David: He wanted the world to know that he was thankful for all the wonderful things that the Lord had done for him. These were his words and they are today’s scripture reading; taken from Psalms 9 verse 1 which says: I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I have heard many testimonies of good acts of kindness that had nothing to show for them. The recipients remain unthankful and even rebellious. What are we to do with such ungrateful people? The bible says that we are to pray for them. In his famous sermon known as the Beatitudes: As the word implies: ‘attitudes that should be;’

Some of you have loved and became separated because the Love could not endure under pressure. Do you want to know what true, enduring love is like? Lend me your ears and I will tell you what the bible says. With the sweet sound of the Anointing, the Apostle Paul said: Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not easily  provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8) What can separate us from the Love of God? The answer is ‘Nothing.’ When you accepted the Love that Jesus offers you, you become his; and he is not going to let you get away from him ; neither will he let anyone snatch you out of his hands. And he is serious about it; just as any man should be when he finds himself a wife.

Do you think it means that you are like a beggar; without food or money? If you said YES, you might be partially correct. Welcome to the Daily Podcast. It’s good to be with you again This is Episode 49 and today's Scripture Reading comes from The Book of Matthew Chapter 5 and verse 3 which says: Blessed are the poor in spirit: For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Listen to what Jesus said in John Chapter 5 verse 30 and we’ll go from there. He made this statement in public. He wanted everyone to know about his relationship with the Father and how important it was to his earthly ministry. He said: I can do nothing on my own. The Amplified Bible puts it this way: I can do nothing on my own initiative or authority. Just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just(fair, righteous, unbiased), because I do not seek My own will, but only the will of Him who sent Me. Jesus is saying that without the Father, he can do nothing: He always comes in agreement with what the Father says, and what the Father wants because the Father knows what is best.

For that reason, I am inclined to believe that he lived his life in peace. I say this because the bible says in Isaiah 26:3: You will keep him in perfect peace; Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Just listen to what Moses wrote concerning Enoch while he was under the anointing and inspiration of the Holy Spirit: When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. (Genesis 5:21-24) Enoch may have suffered persecution, and live for some time without peace; but there is no record of that.

Proverbs 4:23 says: Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it springs the issues of life. Everything es through the heart and then out again. That’s when a person’s character is defined. The human heart has an overflow valve (so to speak) so that when it becomes filled with issues, it can release the overflow. A spontaneous response is usually from the overflow of the heart. Sometimes it is a God-given response; as was the case with Peter. In Matthew 16:  When Jesus asked the question, ‘Who do men say that the Son of man is?’ With scrupulous exactitude, he shouted; ‘Thou art the Son of the Living God (Matthew 16:16). If you want to know what a person is all about, then take time to listen to their words and how they are presented. In their words, you will be able to recognize character traits; like anger, bitterness, greed, unforgiveness, just to mention a few. You will also be able to recognize Love, gentleness forgiveness patience and the like. In Matthew 7:15-20 Jesus said: You will know them by their fruits. No one expects to get oranges from a lemon tree; or grapes from thorn bushes. And so it is with the good and the evil heart. One will bring forth what is good and the other what is evil.

Of course, the good Lord can intervene and do wonders. That act of doing good and sharing is very important in the lives of Christians; and may I say, in the lives of all people. When we think of giving, sharing, and doing good; the first thing that comes to mind is LOVE. A person can give without loving; but it is almost impossible to love without giving. LOVE is a giving thing. John 3:16 says: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. The act of godly giving resonates from deep down in the soul where comion dwells. In your spirit where you sense the prompting of the Holy Ghost bearing witness with your spirit that you are a child of God.

A Proverb is not a Promise from God; so if it does not accomplish what it says, you have no reason to be upset with God. Yes, Proverbs is One of the 66 Books of the bible; and it is a very important part of the Canon of scripture. But before I begin to expound on today’s verse (Proverbs 22:6); allow me to give you a definition of what a Proverb is. A Proverb is a Simple, Concrete, Traditional Truth based on common sense or experience. Proverbs are often used as a type of metaphor. Most cultures have their own unique proverbs. As a child growing up, I used to hear my mother say: ‘Where there is smoke, there is always fire.’ Or ‘You don’ know what you have, until you lose it.’ Here are some Proverbs you may have heard before: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. A bad workman always blames his tools. Actions speak louder than words. Now can you see the difference between a Proverb and a Promise made by God in scripture?

I want to thank you again for ing us on this platform.  You will always be blessed when you come in the presence of the Lord; to study his Word. As we learn from scripture, Jesus is ‘The Word.’ He is the One that Protects, Provides and Preserves us till he comes again Yes; the Lord is a strong Tower; the Righteous run into it, and are safe.

They express without a shadow of a doubt, the Mercy, the Goodness, and forgiveness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Before I go any further, I want you to know that it is my desire to explain the scriptures in the simplest way possible so that even a child could understand. For this reason, you can feel safe to have your children listen to the Podcast. The primary language is English, but we hope to have it translated into several languages.  Praise the Lord. Today’s scripture says: For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Throughout the New Testament, the Greek word, ‘SOZO’ is used for salvation. It means: To Deliver (from the bondage of sin) To Protect (from the evil one) To Preserve (unto the Day of Salvation) To Heal (from pain and suffering) To make whole (spirit, soul and body) That’s why Jesus came to this earth. 1 John 3:8 says: But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. And the ultimate purpose was to reconcile the world to himself: 2 Corinthians 5:19 says: God was in Christ. He was working through Christ to bring the whole world back to Himself. Firstly, God had to destroy the power of Satan. That was accomplished when Jesus died on the cross and was raised again from the dead. After having done that, he was able to give the Holy Spirit to those who believed in him. John 7:37-39

Jesus is the Pathway to God, so for us to get to the Father, the obstacle must be dealt with ‘in the Pathway.’ Let me say it another way: Sin is an obstacle in the pathway to God; so for us to get to him, sin must be dealt with in the body of Jesus. 1 Peter 2:24 says: Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. When we examine the word ‘Confess or confession,’ we find at least two applications. One as it relates to sin; and the other, as it relates to acknowledgement. For example, as it relates to Sin, 1 John 1:9 which says:  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us. An example, as it relates to Acknowledgement, is seen in Matthew 10:32-33 which says: Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. So this brings up a very important point: That we must always interpret a verse of scripture, in its context, or we will miss its true meaning. Today, we’ll take a look at confession from a sin perspective. What does confession do for us, when we sin? What happens to that sin; and how does God view us, in light of our confession? One of the most difficult things to do; is to confess that you are a sinner.  Pride will not let you do it. I , many years ago, someone tried to witness to me. One of the things, they wanted me to do, was to confess, or it that I was a sinner. I couldn’t do it. Pride wouldn’t let me. But after hearing the Word, and coming to grips with what Jesus suffered on the cross for my sins; it was easy to make that confession.

Jesus also said that he is the only Way to the Father. (John 14:6) One may say that Moses was also a Mediator. Well, that is quite true; but his mediation was to deliver the Ten Commandments to the people. He was more of a Deliverer than a Mediator. He delivered the Israelites from slavery under Pharaoh. Then he delivered The Ten Commandments; rules given by God for the people to live by. They never imagined that it was impossible for anyone born under the Fall of Adam to keep every Commandment; but I know a man who did keep them all. His name is Jesus. No one who is born in sin is able to keep God’s righteous Laws. You must be Born Again; like Jesus said. Romans 3:10 and 23 says:  There is none righteous; no, not one; for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 5:12 says:  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death ed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans 6:23 also confirms that the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

If Christ had not been raised from the dead, then what are we living for? We might as well; just be merry, live and have a good time until we die. There are many people who live with that mindset; and they do it because they are afraid of the judgment that will come upon them when they from this life to the next. I’m not just referring to the Sadducees during the time of Jesus, but modern day Sadducees. These are people who refuse to believe that there will be a resurrection of the dead; and that we shall all be judged for the things we have done while we were alive here on earth. I don’t want you to become paranoid concerning the resurrection of the dead. I’m telling you this because you may have friends or family who fit that description; and you will be able to minister to them; and offer them a new perspective on what lies in the future. You may be the only vessel that God would use to tell them about this lively HOPE that is found in Jesus Christ. The Resurrection of the dead is what gives all of us HOPE; a lively HOPE

In today’s episode, we will be talking about the sentence. In every trial, there is a verdict, and then comes the sentencing. This is when the Victim or Victims get the opportunity to hear what form of punishment the perpetrator would receive. Jesus was wrongfully charged with a crime, and was sentenced to death by way of crucifixion on a Roman cross.  If Jesus was a Roman citizen, he would have been beheaded which is less painful than crucifixion. But because he was a Jew, he received the greater punishment-- Crucifixion.

Who in the world would want to assume the guilty verdict of another, knowing that their life would be at stake? I know a man who would, and he did. His name is Jesus. And that’s what 2 Corinthians 5:21 is all about. This transfer of Innocence and Guilt was prearranged before the foundation of the world. The man Christ Jesus was referred to as ‘The Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:29) He was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). His death would satisfy the wrath of God that was upon all mankind; due to the sin that was committed by one man; ADAM. When God made man (Genesis 1:26), and placed him in the Garden of Eden, he commanded him not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, of Good and Evil. If he did, he would surely die. Unfortunately, the man did eat from the Forbidden Tree; and as a result, the death process began. No one truly understood how detrimental Sin was and still is. Not even Adam! And there are many people today who still don’t understand the Horror that sin causes in the lives of people. Today we are in the midst of a Pandemic caused by a Corona virus code named Covid-19 which has already taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. According to the World Health Organization, the death toll has ed one million and counting. Scientists, Epidemiologists, Doctors, Nurses, and every Health Care professional are doing what they can to combat this virus. I want you to listen carefully to what I’m about to say:

The bible says that Faith comes by hearing; and hearing by The Word of God. So I encourage you to keep on listening and hearing that you may build up your Faith. Let’s look at the situation in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve are going about their business as the Lord had instructed them. Then the devil appeared, pretending to be the carrier of good news: news that will bring knowledge, wisdom and prosperity. I’m sure you’ve heard that kind of preaching before. So he delivers the ‘So-called Good News’ and sets a course of action that would put all future generations at odds with God. Even the earth would be in a state of groaning. When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, in disobedience to God’s command, something happened in their DNA that would allow their sin of disobedience to be ed down to every person who would be born into the world. Let’s go to the book of Romans Chapter 3:10-12 which says: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” Verse 23 says:  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God: Here is the proof of that generational curse that started with Adam. Romans 5:12 says: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death ed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

So I began reading from verse 17, and discovered that Jesus was with his disciples; on his way to Jerusalem when he stopped along the way to forewarn them what was about to happen when they get to Jerusalem. This is what he said: 18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, 19 and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” Then out of the ‘blues’ came the mother of James and John, the two sons of Zebedee; nicknamed by Jesus; ‘The sons of Thunder.’  And she put forth a request to Jesus; that was so astounding; so much that the other 10 disciples became angry and offended. She actually knelt down before Jesus to make the request. That alone could tell you how important it was to her. Let me ask you this: If your father was about to die, what request would you ask of him? While you think about that; let me tell you what she said to Jesus. “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.” Did she even care that Jesus was about to be crucified? Or did she get a revelation of his kingdom that the others couldn’t see?
