Read the Bible in a Year

DEUTERONOMY MOMENT – (05MAR19) Moses gave the Children of Israel instructions for the time when they would desire to have a king over them. This was a prophetic word because much later, the Children of Israel would want a king over them during the priesthood of Samuel the Prophet. The Lord had instructed that the king was to be from amongst their own people. He was not to get horses from Egypt because they were to never return to Egypt for anything. He was not to have many wives or his heart would be turned away from the Lord. He was not to acquire a lot of gold and silver. When he became king, he was to write a copy of this law taken from the Levites and read it often so that he would be careful to obey God’s laws. This, however, did not happen in the days of King Solomon which we will see further on in later books. We see that God gives warnings to His people before things ever happen. God tries to help us be obedient to Him in His warnings, but too often, we fail to heed the warnings and go our own way. Therefore, when we fall into the enemy’s traps, we cannot say that God did not try to prevent us from falling in. We should take heed to the Lord’s warnings wherever they may come from because He always sends them before destruction hits. If God brings your attention to something, do not take it lightly, for it may just save your life. Something to ponder…

QUESTION OF THE DAY – (05MAR19) The Lord had a system that anyone who was accused of committing a crime was to be brought before priests and judges in His presence so that truth could be established. If a person was found guilty of giving a false testimony against an innocent person, they were to receive the punishment that would have been given to the other party had they succeeded with their malicious intent. Wouldn’t that be good if that same principle were to be followed today? Would people be so quick to accuse others falsely if they were to receive the punishment that they tried to have done to someone else? Many people have been falsely accused of rape, murder, child paternity, sexual harassment, and other crimes, only to find out that one or two of the witnesses had lied about the entire event. We should never accuse anyone of a wrong unless we can support it with evidence. We, as Christians, should never take sides, unlike the mainstream media, until we have weighed out all the evidence that has been presented. What if you were the one being accused? How would you want people to proceed? Something to ponder…

DEUTERONOMY MOMENT – (05MAR19) God told the Israelites that they were never to live among those who practiced any type of sorcery, witchcraft, or spoke to the dead. They were detestable before the Lord. Today, we have people who claim to be “Christian” witches. They believe that the Bible is full of spells and that they can use magic and the Bible at the same time. They claim to follow the Solomonic tradition. The interesting thing is that God warned against kings having many wives who would lead them astray and one of the things we will study later is how King Solomon was led astray in this manner. If God found it to be detestable then, would He still find it to be detestable now? Would He still consider dealing with the occult wrong? Are any of you in the Free Masons, Illuminati, Skull and Bones, Fraternities, Sororities, or some other secret organization? Are you reading your horoscopes, getting palm readings, paying for psychic readings, playing with Ouija Boards, or some other demonic practice? If so, STOP! The devil uses these devices to take your soul away from God. You cannot eat at the Lord’s table and the table of demons. There is NO such thing as a Christian witch. WORD OF WARNING…do not allow just anyone to lay hands on you. There is a such thing as a transference of spirits. Just like God allowed Elijah to leave his mantle for Elisha, the devil acts as a counterfeit and transfers his mantel onto others as well. Many pastors, prophets, evangelists, apostles, and teachers are participating in things that are of the devil such as pornography, adultery, fornication, pedophilia, greed, lying, and cheating while people sometimes wonder, after going to church, why they cannot be delivered from their strongholds. It could be that the pastor has a stronghold himself. When they lay hands on you, they can transfer their spirits on to you if you do not cover yourself with the blood of Jesus. Everyone who has a title and can speak well is NOT of God. Remember everything that shines is not gold and everything that sparkles is not a diamond. Something to ponder…
