11.27 Evening:

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.―Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil.

Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.

None of us liveth to himself.―Brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.―Take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.―When ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Pr 1:10 Ge 3:6 Jos 22:20 Ex 23:2 Mt 7:13 Ro 14:7 Ga 5:13 1Co 8:9,12 Isa 53:6

11.27 Evening:

(Proverbs 1:10)My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

(Genesis 3:6)And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.--(Joshua 22:20)Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

(Exodus 23:2)Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

(Matthew 7:13)Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

(Romans 14:7)For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.--(Galatians 5:13)For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.--(I Corinthians 8:9)But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.--(I Corinthians 8:12)But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

(Isaiah 53:6)All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

--
Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
I Peter 5:11 To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The LORD is gracious

For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


The Word for the month--
Psalm 27:13,14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the Goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.


The Word for the day--
James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him?


Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

"Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him?"



I John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the Word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the Word, and he becometh unfruitful.
 
Matthew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto Life Eternal.

Galatians 1:3-5 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I Corinthians 1:27-31 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who of God is made unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

I Timothy 6:6-8 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

Luke 4:18,19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Luke 6:20 And He lifted up His eyes on His disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the Kingdom of God.

Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

Revelation 2:8-11 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the First and the Last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of Life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son.

Again, the Word for the day--James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him?

11.27 Morning:

The glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them.

I saw . . . the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. Above it stood the Seraphims: . . . And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.―These things said Esaias, when he saw His glory, and spake of Him.―Upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness . . . of a Man above upon it. . . . As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

I beseech thee, shew me Thy glory. . . . And He said, Thou canst not see My Face: for there shall no man see Me, and live.―No man hath seen God at any time; the Only Begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.―God, Who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the Knowledge of the glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ.

Joh 17:22 Isa 6:1-3 Joh 12:41 Eze 1:26,28 Ex 33:18,20 Joh 1:18 2Co 4:6

11.27 Morning:

(John 17:22)And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be One, even as We are One:

(Isaiah 6:1-3)In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. Above it stood the Seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain He covered His face, and with twain He covered His feet, and with twain He did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.--(John 12:41)These things said Esaias, when he saw His glory, and spake of Him.--(Ezekiel 1:26)And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire Stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a Man above upon it....(Ezekiel 1:28)As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a Voice of One that spake.

(Exodus 33:18)And he said, I beseech Thee, shew me Thy glory. . . .(Exodus 33:20)And He said, Thou canst not see My Face: for there shall no man see Me, and live.---(John 1:18)No man hath seen God at any time; the Only Begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.---- (II Corinthians 4:6)For God, Who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the Knowledge of the glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ.

Joh 17:22 Isa 6:1-3 Joh 12:41 Eze 1:26,28 Ex 33:18,20 Joh 1:18 2Co 4:6


I Timothy 4:15,16 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.


Psalm 72:17-19 His Name shall endure for ever: His Name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be His Glorious Name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.

II Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
