1 Corinthians ~ 9:10 to 10:4

welcome to the Shepherd's chapel Network family Bible study hour with Pastor Arnold Murray wisdom is understanding god's word pastor Murray's unique teaching approach brings God's Word alive with meaning as he takes you on a chapter by chapter verse by verse study of God's letter to you the Bible and now here is pastor Arnold Murray good day to you god bless you say welcome to the Shepherd's chapel welcome to this family Bible study our back and our fathers word 1st Corinthians chapter 9 we're going to pick it up with verse 10 here in a moment Paul changing his teaching method here just a little bit and as much as what is written and he's quoting some of Moses's law Paul knew the law very well but he said and he quoted the law concerning his and Barnabas taking salaries and so forth and he said you know as it's written in Moses's law if an oxen helps tread out the the corn then he's worthy to have corn and then he says do you think God only cares about oxen and the answer of course is no God cares about people those that plant he expects you to take part in the crop and to have your part and to to receive the rewards for what you do and that being the subject let's pick it up as he as he does do you think God only cares about oxen and naturally you and I both know no he cares about his children so with that thought as we began and were to whisk them from our Father chapter 9 verse 10 first corinthians and it reads or saith he it altogether for our sakes does he do it just for human beings for uh for our sakes no doubt we're included this is written that he that plows shall plow in hope in other words you think positive don't don't you just hate to be around somebody I would've plow probably not the brain and it'll probably not do this and it'll probably not do that and it probably won't for them you know you you have to have hope and faith in what you do and think positive because God hands out a lot of blessings and he doesn't exactly feel real good if you have no hope in him when you ask and that he that treta Thresh's in hope should be partaker in his hope that is to say sharing in the crop and the thrashing you know i I can remember when I was a young person that there were very through very few threshers so communities would just band together and the threshing machine would take one farm and all the farmers would gather together on that farm bring in all the sheaves and everything and run and boy at noontime there was a meal that wouldn't quit we all shared in that it was a beautiful thing when communities work together and share verse 11 if we have sown unto you spiritual things is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things in other words if we if we saw in spiritual truth in you should should we also harvest material things verse 12 if others be partakers of this power or this right over you or not we rather what were the ones that planted the scene we're the one that built the church here nevertheless we have not used this power or this right but suffer all things in other words we provide our own things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ this is the way Paul was Paul never took a salary he always worked he was a tentmaker and very good at it but he wanted there to be no doubt about why he taught God's Word any little contrivance that someone might dream up to say well he's just in it for the money that's quite obvious and you know he didn't want to contend with that he wanted to cut right to the chase and plant spiritual things and then God always takes care of his own if you have the faith and the knowledge to know that then it does not hint the gospel that's the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ and the salvation he brings to this world verse 13 do you not know that they which Minister about holy things live of the things of the temple and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar in other words a priest always got his part of an animal that was sacrificed as as it is written and it was his right to do whatever he wanted to with that part he'd take part of it home to his family he could sell it or whatever he wanted to do with it as long as it was legal it in God's eyes but it was his right to protect that and God writes that right that a servant is worthy of his hire 14 even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel and and it's that way anyway if you teach the gospel that's the good news and you teach it as it should be taught chapter by chapter and verse by verse you are feeding and and the people will come that's what's important to a true teacher is that the people are fed that God's good news save souls but it brings you know even in troubled times such as we have today it cushions you against the brunt of of humanity to know the truth and to have God's guidance and blessings in your life and your family's life it is such a blessing and so it is verse 15 but I have used none of these things he says I haven't practiced any of these things of taking from you neither have I written these things now he's saying that it should be so done unto me for it were better for me to die than that any man should make my glorying boy that anyone should take away from my integrity I won't have it I don't want to take a chance I want everybody to know that what I do I do because I believe I believe because I am led and he had a good reason to believe Christ struck him down on the road to Damascus and talked directly to him either or you're a chosen vessel do it so he had good incentive that's that's a real blessing when he didn't have to go so much by hope because to him it was reality he had seen the Lord he had heard from the Lord he didn't have to wonder if the Lord exists he conversed with him mostly he did the listening verse 16 for though I preached the gospel I have nothing to glory of I've got nothing to boast about why because God gives it to you and you cannot boast of on what God's gifts are that he gives to you that that sets you aside for necessity is laid upon me yay woe unto me if I preach not the gospel I would be ruined if I with God giving me the gifts and the calling that he did and probably God would have because God would say concerning Paul in Acts chapter 9 verse 15 hey he's a chosen vessel I chose him before the foundations of the world and I'm sending him to teach a 30-fold ministry to Israel to the Gentile and to the kings and queens and that's why Paul always taught on three levels and usually you're going to understand and here on one or the other of those levels that's why a good teacher always teaches for someone that is hearing the first time that teacher and that word of God and yet at the same time feeding in depth those that have been long students and also applying it to concerning all people for whom so ever will hear that good news and and so it is a teacher that does not adequately teach the word whereby a newcomer years he's got no growth and God won't bless it you have to teach on those three levels to have a vivacious living Ministry verse 17 for if I do this thing willingly and it is was his will I have a reward you don't have to worry about paying me I've got a payday but if against my will a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me this dispensation this word in the Greek means a stewardship is given to me why those three levels I spoke of and and God was not going to let him out of that this manifest it's written in Romans chapter eleven all gifts that God gives are without repentance let me say that again all gifts concerning teaching or whatever your talent may be that's from God number one you can't personally take credit for it when you exercise it fully you have to give God the credit for it's not Jew it's him and also in in that Romans 11 it says I give these gifts without repentance meaning you you may have a gift to teach and you may decided to leave that and if you're really truly gifted and and go somewhere and stop teaching don't worry he's gonna thump the gourd he's going to take you down to where you're going to be teaching it's without repentance or you will pay an awesome price so be it Paul is saying here I'm going to protect my integrity I'm going to do this as I feel led to do as I am blessed from doing and so it is that's why I do it he's saying verse 18 what is my reward then what is my pay verily that when I preach the gospel I may make the gospel of without charge that I abused not my power or my right in the gospel I don't take advantage of that I teach it and my reward is for it to take hold for people to listen for people to hear the in-depth truth that God brings forth that was a great reward for Paul I mean after all now you know and this was this you can say was about the Year 60 ad somewhere along in there 59 60 ad and here it is 2012 we're still teaching Paul what Paul was told to teach and do you know something it grows more effective every day as as the latter rain pours and truth comes forth that God's Word abounds verse 19 for though I be free from all men and and he was born free he didn't have to answer to anyone yet have I made myself servant unto all why because he teaches all that I might gain the more that that I will gain more converts because they will hear that word and stick with that word and that word is so prevalent verse 20 and unto the Jews I became a Jew I mean he studied at the feet of gamma though he was a Benjamite of the house of Benjamin he was not of the house of Judah but studying under the feet of gamma L he became as one of Judean that I might gain the Jews I taught the law and was with them he was very zealous in that to them that are under the law as under the law that I might gain them that are under the law in other words he could teach the law because the law the the law is not bad as many people think it is in the first place many people don't know the difference between law statutes and ordinance as they confuse it all and mix it up to where a lay person has a very difficult chance of understanding what God's law is the law is not bad it's what keeps you out of trouble in daily life even today when you don't break laws you're not going to get in trouble necessarily especially if you use the gray matter concerning the times you're going to your God's going to protect you and you're going to be pretty well blessed and we live in a nation that guarantees our right to teach God's Word publicly that is to say over the Airways and around the world what what a great nation and that's something you want to really protect and stand by for many of us have shed blood for this great nation it was paid there have been awesome prices paid and that freedom is precious that we can take that word and become a truth to the whole world verse 21 to them that are without law as without law being not without law to God but under the law to Christ that I might gain them that are without the law in other words I can do this in a natural way also and Paul could do that he could take natural everyday life and use that as an analogy to what the law would say and and and teach it in that way that one that was not familiar with the law simply what is right and what is wrong because the gospel is only common sense and very common sense you have an equation in life that helps you sell your little Christian boat and keep it off the rocks and the quicker you learn how to to to ascertain that is to say si spiritual things and you keep that with spiritual facts none of this boom boom land stuff you judge spear ritual use judge spirituality with spiritual facts not earthly facts not somebody else's facts but spiritual facts what actually is when it's a reality and the simplicity in which Christ teaches is simply common sense and that's what Paul is talking about I can do it either way we can teach that word and it'll come through just fine and he will do some of that and the remainder of this particular chapter verse 22 to the week became I as week I can go down to that level that I might gain the week I am made all things to all men that I might by all means save some now this is where many teachers make a great era they the first thing they want to do is tell you how great they are yes I am a scholar I am a student I know many languages I have studied the word in many aspects and and so forth and by this time if you have a layperson you've already frightened them out you know when you start telling them how much you know if you really care about them it doesn't matter what you know it's that you go to their level whatever they may be understand what I'm saying you teach on that level you don't if you're a teacher you can talk to somebody about five minutes and you know what gear they're in you don't have to listen very difficult very long and then if you really want to help them you go to that level and bring them up to where you are gently firmly and with facts spirituality judged by spiritual facts whereby you're not misleading someone which is a terrible sin not taking advantage of the weak but bringing the weak in truth up with great common sense and knowledge that God loves them and God blesses them if they do according to God's will what does God want from man it's real easy to teach you wants their love Hosea chapter 6 verse 6 I do not want your burnt offerings that doesn't amount anything to me God says I want your grace that your mercy your love I want you to love me that's why he created you is for his pleasure documentation last verse of Revelation chapter 4 so and so it is so this is this is what marks a good teacher number one as you've learned in this chapter do not take credit for your knowledge give the credit to Almighty God it's a gift and and more gifts will come from the father a gift is in the Greek car is if you have charisma then people will listen when you teach chapter by chapter and verse by verse if you do it in the way that God instructs and you give God the credit and then go to that person that you're teaching in a level and in the simplicity that Christ would teach and you will win many you will save many you can bring many to a very sound truth verse 23 and this I do for the Gospels sake that I might be partaker thereof with you in other words this is the Gospels rewards is that I to do all these things and nobody's perfect as best I can so that I can share this with you is what he's saying verse 24 know you not that they which run in a race run all but one receiveth the prize so run that you may obtain right I mean don't don't if you're gonna run a race what do you do you get out there and exercise you run you give it your best there's many running but there's only one winner and if you're going to when you work at it what God's Word is the same way you have a mind and you have to exercise that mind that's why you can go to the weekend you don't have to feel oppressed or anything else by it it's a loving thing if you have compassion and to nurture cultivate water exercise bring that weak one up whereby they can have simple understanding of God's Word in other words don't don't just do it halfway you get your the whole mind out there and you exercise it you know you can improve you can improve that that you retain in that manner if you're healthy if you have a sound mind your mind is is like your muscle than your arm you exercise the muscle in your arm it firms up and pretty soon you've got a pretty good old cut there well do you know something if you don't exercise this you can become pretty dull but when you exercise it in both daily life business and still have time to exercise it in the Word of God knowing how to accomplish things knowing how to teach the gospel knowing how to reach people you know people are not that difficult and I'm not I'm not saying that to talk down to anyone and I'm not being condescending but people are pretty easy to understand because you're a people too and people are not all that different though there is a difference and it's quite simple for you to to give God the credit for your gifts your curve is and practice that charisma and spreading it it grows you feed them they will come you feed them God's Word your church will not be lacking for membership you will have more than you can take care of because they are drawn to that word of God through the gift that God gives so what are you saying here X you're mine don't let it just lay dormant exercise to win and what is it we want to win well let's find out 25 and every men that striveth for the mastery is temperate that is to say he trains in all things whatever it is you train in it you practice it now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown they'll do it they're going to do it they're going to win that race they're going right but it's corrupt it will tarnish if it's a wreath it's going to wither and it's going to grow old but we and incorruptible in other words we exercise our minds to have an in an incorruptible wreath that is to say eternal life that's what we that's what we race for there's not only for ourselves if you're a true Christian you have compassion you don't only want to race yourself to that winning line you want to take as many lost souls with you as possible because they're God's children they're your brothers your sisters that need to know the word and many of them grow by your example of running that race of being temperate of being understanding of being able to go to their level and not not overpower them but gently as you're fishing for men bring that fish right up to the bait and then sink the hook with the truth of God's Word always judging spiritual things with spiritual facts you might say well why are you repeating that well it's real easy for people to get out in boomboom land if you're not careful and spiritual as facts as well because Christianity is a reality is its life that's what we're talking about here practicing life training in life training how to make the best of life you make the best of life winning that crown but the blessings of God everyday you don't have to wait till heaven to receive those blessings there in us around us it's courage it's all over us and it grows it's catching it's effective it's wearing that crown that is to say within you being the gift of God you always give God the credit and God blesses and onward we go to that to that incorruptible crown or eternal life what if you know it's going to be so precious in the Eternity nothing evil Satan's gone and everything day-to-day is just perfect that's great 26 to continue I therefore is so run I mean I work at it I train at it not as uncertainty that is to say guessing games so fight I not as one that beateth the air I don't get out here in shadow box I don't get out here and pretend to fight I'm in here slugging it out they've beaten me they've locked me up they've imprisoned me and I've faced many an enemy just fighting it out keeping it straight on not just out here in the shadow some were batting there being a near fluff he says that's not the way I do it he said I run I do it and certainly Paul did poor old Paul was beaten stripes for 39 might one minus 40 and in prison for what for doing what for running the race for teaching the Word of God just as sure as you teach God's Word chapter by chapter and line on line today there will be certain around that will persecute you big deal like water running off of a duck's back okay you it's not going to harm you when I order because you are surrounded with the blessings of the Living God and boy can he bless so don't be out beating their backs spiritual things with spiritual facts anchoring yourself in the Word of God the Living Word verse 27 but I keep under my body and bring it into subjection I mean I I control my body lest that by any means when i have preached to others i myself should be a castaway in other words always preach fair this word castaway means you won the prize and then they found out that you were cheating and you're cast out disgraced so you need to take that last verse very seriously what are you seeing here I have preached to others i myself should be a castaway I want to be very careful I want to be an under subjection to the true Word of God so that's why you want to analyze what you teach and how you teach it because it's a terrible thing to win the eternal crown and then to find out you you weren't sincere that you didn't you mean that you didn't meet the the regulations we have a lot of people today that wins races and then because of drugs they're tossed out and embarrassed ashamed well false teaching of God's Word is far more serious that's why you want to always teach God's Word and put yourself under subjection of the word not your thoughts not what you may think you want things to be but stick with the Word of God and teach it as it is written for that is the spiritual fact is God's Word chapter 10 verse 1 moreover brethren I would not that you should be ignorant how that all our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the sea I don't I want you to remember I don't want you to forget it's what he's saying you're ignorant a bad thing it just means don't I don't want you to forget where you don't know that's what ignorant is is not knowing our fathers were under the cloud that God provided the shadow then he parted that red sea where they could walk over on dry ground God did that for us that's amazing wonderful something you don't it's something you don't ever want to forget why because God's on the throne he's in control today he's in control and if you're serving him he will bless you if you're serving him he will see that you have that victory not for your own self but for the words sake for God's sake so therefore remember how great our Father is he's wonderful verse two and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea and so they were they went they saw it they went across verse three and did all eat the same spiritual meat that manna fell from heaven but angels food here they were in flesh bodies our ancestors flesh bodies eating angels food to sustain themselves and then flocks of quail that clean bird that is fit to eat because of the crawl and so forth it's good food from God could mean and and so it is blessed of God you know how good is our Father I mean they're there they were out in the desert nothing God delivered them from ferrah and fed them four and did all drink the same spiritual drink for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them and that rock was Christ that rock is Christ that his spirit with us but it's also the Stone of Scone that was carried by the priest it is the stone that was taken to Europe by the ten tribes that went north and and set under the coronation seat and all kings and queens were with corn that had participated in the coronation over that rock has a crack where the water came forth poured forth Moses struck it twice paid a price for it but do you know what their obligation is first the obligation of one who is he takes part in that coronation is to protect to be the protector of truth for the nation Israel it is written it is so and so it is don't

Corinthians chapter five six and seven Christ became our Passover therefore he is the rock on which we stand and that Rock will never ever let you down so next broadcast in this live spot ok back to questions and let's go with it Dorothy from from Washington my husband believes God knows everything we will do and say before we're even here on in the flesh I don't think he does we have free choice and make those choices on our own here and and you are correct one because God gives us free choice because that's the way you create real love you can God wants our love but he can't force it he can't order it and he can't buy it that would be fake God doesn't deal in anything that's fake therefore he gives his children freewill that's what in as much as 1/3 fell in the first earth age and 1/3 didn't care and another not much better there was God's elect which is a different end of the spectrum but those with freewill God wants them to he destroyed that first earth age instead of killing his children and caused them to be warned of woman whereby they will make their mind up whether they will love God or Satan is your choice that's what he wants to know because he will not order love that's why you have free choice now the other end of that spectrum of course is as Paul was he was chosen but why because he made the fight in the first Earth Age he earned it God doesn't give something away for free don't ever accuse him of that therefore he can deal with the election as it is written in Romans chapter 8 verse 26 you don't even know what to pray for sometime but he does and he will guide you because you were chosen for ordained and therefore he can cause you to bring things to pass to bring about the prophecies that are written in God's Word okay so there you have it Kathy from Indiana okay I am I have a question regarding the gates of heaven what do you know about a children's entrance to heaven and entrance separate from the big pearly gates that we adults enter through is there any mention of this in the Bible has anyone ever asked you about this now it's but I teach it many times Christ said prevent not the little children bring them to me they're innocent so what it means is as long as they're below the age of accountability they need no judging they're innocent so they go straight in now pearly gates I wouldn't count on them being too pearly okay as simply an entrance a gate means in the Bible most often in whatever language it's a judgement place and it's there judged when you go to paradise which side of paradise you land on the side that the poor man went to and or the rich man as Luke 16 so declares Karen from Kentucky I have always believed it was a sin to be cremated will you please explain what the Bible says on cremation first Corinthians chapter 13 verse 3 says though though you offer God anything even your body to be burned that's cremated and for in serving him that if you do that without love than you it's void but also in the Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse 6 and 7 you have two bodies and your your your flesh body is nothing it goes all it is is organic material that beginning with your mother while she was carrying you and then later yourself man can only protect or should partake of organic matter whether it's me growing from organic matter grass corn grain or vegetables going from earth of matter and and that's that's what the body is and it goes back to dirt you're through with it it gets old it gets aged it gets sick it's perishable but you have a body that is much better than that if age means nothing to it that's why all angels that appear or as young people because ancient has no effect whatsoever on an angelic being in a spirit body so instantly as it is written in twelve six when that silver cord parts and the crepe clay pot breaks meaning this clay body instantly your spiritual body which is dwelling right in here goes right back to the Father that gave it and God is not the god of dead there's nobody did not even Satan is dead he's he's locked in heaven by the Lord Jesus Christ helped by Michael he'll be cast out but then this is this is the way it is so there's nothing wrong I know that things are very expensive anymore cremation is less expensive and it doesn't matter you're through with the flesh body Ecclesiastes chapter nine throws a lot of people off because they don't realize that chapter is written to the man that walks under the Sun meaning flesh bodies it's God's Way of telling you how to be happy in these flesh bodies how to be content and complete within them and then he says in 9 it goes into the ground and nobody ever remembers it why it goes back to dirt ok but you your most beautiful body is your spiritual body Margaret from Pennsylvania is it a sin to pray without anyone else around well of course it's not a sin it's not a sin to pray anytime ok I'm sorry I cannot imagine where you picked up on that as a matter of fact it is a sin for one to pray simply to be seen praying well isn't he holy he's praying yeah yeah he does that all the time he comes there so we can all watch him and isn't he isn't me a goody-goody well that's a sin so it's better to shut yourself away and pray by yourself than it is to make a public nuisance of yourself so but no it's it's it's never a sin to pray anywhere in the first place you don't even have to pray out loud these people nowadays that want us want to control us by their law that's you cannot pray here and you cannot do that you can do anything you want to God you don't have to even open your mouth God knows what you're thinking you can pray and thought he hears it and loves it don't you ever let some crackpot prevent you from praying you don't have to pray out loud and they don't they're there they're ignorant they wouldn't know you were praying anyway and God blesses that and recognizes that Theresa from North Carolina what year did the latter-day rain start well it's it's you know we have the remnant you have the remnant and God's elect and I'm pulling now from Romans chapter 11 we have always had the remnant with us that passed the truth from generation to generation and but when the latter rain actually began to present itself would be most likely when the parable of the fig tree came into being that was the starting point of the end times because that would be the final generation as it's written in mark chapter thirteen in Matthew 24 and the latter rain is simply an agriculture thing the former rain sprouts the seed and gets the the plant up if it does not receive the latter rains it will blast in the field you'll never make any grain it'll just wilt up and a person might receive the farmer rain and think they're a good Christian being but if they don't receive the latter rain that matures the human being into truth and knowledge of God's blessings and leadership the false ones and how to stand against the false one then they'll blast in the field also the sink sample from Ohio Sen Quayle sink well I'll say what does the number 11 mean in the Hebrew language well in biblical numerix that means disorder okay it's a number that stands for disorder Robert from Kansas a few days ago before my wife passed away we were in the hospital and we were talking she said are you coming and I said yes when it is my time she then seemed to switch and started talking to someone else he said he is coming do you think there is a possibility she could have been in transition between heaven and earth could she have been talking to loved ones that had previously passed did she know she was diagnosed she knew she was in the transition dying is a part of living okay and I have witnessed as a pastor I have witnessed this more than one time that's someone that I knew and could could read from their eyes in the process of transitioning from flesh life to spiritual life would begin talking to someone maybe on the other side of the hospital bed and in one particular case one of my mentors called this person Mary and was talking with Mary and there was no I couldn't see anyone but they were carrying on a conversation and then I stepped out of the room in a moment and I asked a family member who Mary was and really and it was his sister that had passed away 15 years before so it is not unusual I know this may sound strange to some but when when a good person that God loves and he sends someone in that transition I think that they trust and they feel comfortable with to take them on through but in that transition they can see into a dimension that we cannot so that that's no biggie this just when Christ walked the earth after the resurrection he left the building without going through a door he went through the wall when I was was Christ not there or was the wall not there they were both there he was in a different dimension I would assume that your wife knew who she was talking to and was very comfortable with them Jean Jen from Ohio do you think there are people in this world who remember life before life on earth is it possible for someone to have this gift I have been suspicious of it General Patton was a great general he probably was one of the he knew military strategy better than I feel anyone we've had in the generation of World War two that that a lot of people would disagree with that be that as it may he got it done okay why because he knew what he was doing and and in the Middle East and other places he would say I was here I know I could feel the war that was fought here so I feel that he was so such a strong personality in warfare that he was conscious of and it's enough to make one wonder okay and that's all I will say on the subject Ali from Kentucky she's 13 years old dear pastor Murray my grandma lives in Kentucky we have been studying the Bible together I go every summer and watch your program all the time I was wondering if when you die do you meet Jesus and God or are they one in the same that's a good question for for they are we have Jesus which means what it's Yeshua what what does that translate really rather than just two transliterate it it means you have a savior that's an office of God Emmanuel God with us if you as Jesus would teach in st. John chapter 14 if you've seen me you've seen the father they look just alike why because God would say in the beginning let us create men in our image and he created a me included himself and when Christ came to be that was God in in the image of God but yet in when why is he called the son of man when he walked in flesh he was called man and but he was still God's son he had offices to fulfill but we only have one God pastor Arnold Peggy my name is Peggy from North Carolina you're very welcome thanks for your comment my question when we when we repent and turn from our sins God forgives us and remembers them no more if we are forgiven and he remembers them no more why do we still have to stand before God at the great white throne judgment and give an account for every idle word well if you've repented you don't have any but what do you have as it is written also good acts cover a multitude of sins you've got good acts there every time you help somebody it's it's in the book it doesn't matter what some church keeps your record it sent your records with father and every time you do something good judgment doesn't you know many people get on guilt trips and they won't they want to beat themselves up and you're a child of the Living God and you're serving him and you have all these righteous acts that are built up that are in the book and like he says when you repent for the bad ones there he they're gone so when you stand before him and great white throne the great white throne judgment to give account he showers you with his love and his blessings and his gifts and your payday that's what Paul was talking about I don't want your pain now I got my pay down the road it means on the Judgment Day so Judgment Day for a good person is a wonderful day it's not penalty its prosperity into eternal life Jeanne Arnold Debbie from California is it possible to commit the unpardonable sin unforgivable sin today no you cannot commit the unpardonable sin until after the false Christ appears on earth Luke chapter 12 verse 10 if you refuse the Holy Spirit the privilege of speaking through you as Mark 13 requests its unpardonable myself I do not think it'll happen ever I know God's elect they want to talk too much instead of not enough Jeanne from Tennessee Jenny from Tennessee is our covenant the same covenant as Abraham's please explain thank you for your teachings you are very welcome the Abrahamic covenant what was it it was what does Abraham mean it's in his name that he would be a blessing to all nations not just Israel all nations why through him would come Christ as Savior and through that Savior all are blessed so yes of course God's covenants are without repentance his covenants are very real and that's why we are so comforted today by him in times of crisis Robin from Michigan what does a woman have to do to become a woman of God how many times can a person repent and still be in grace with God well jesus said 490 times a day I don't think anybody can sin that much but to become a woman of God all you have to do is love the Lord God's gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe upon him would not perish that means go to hell but have eternal life so a woman of God is a woman that sets forth the example set forth by Christ and and holds to that same as a man of God gender means nothing in love for God okay and what is repentance that would be the next question when you really have a change of heart and mind and let God know you're sorry for it Sharon from Michigan how do you completely repent into the Lord do you confess your sins or is there a specific way to repent that's I think I just answered that you simply have a change of heart and and let the father know you know prayer is talking to the father communicate communicate don't don't go don't get one of these prayer books where you read this prayer for this and that I don't think God accepts that you know you didn't write it he wants to hear from your heart well I'm not a very good talker he knows that he doesn't care he loves you regardless when you love him just talk to me that's what prayer is and repent meaning to have that change of heart and let him know you you you you love him many times people have an habitual I don't want to use the word I bit you all have a habit a bad habit and they promise God they're going to break it and maybe like smokey okay and they'll break that thing over and over and over and they know it's hurting them and and then stop promising god you're going to quit and ask his help to help you stop okay talk to him and use common sense Sandra from North Carolina is it is is it true that Jesus drank wine at the wedding it is not true that he drank wine at the wedding he it is true that he created wine at the wedding I know you've got some preachers that say well now it wasn't wine he created it was a grape juice then you see they show their ignorance because they don't understand the Greek manuscript because it says in after God Christ created it they became intoxicated grape juice will not intoxicate someone it was perfect wine you see wine is symbolic of Christ's blood and through the process natural process of fermentation throws off all junk and trash and leaves the pure thing that's the blood of Christ alright I hope you understand that I'm out of time I love you all because you enjoy studying God's Word most of all God loves you for it hey when you read the letter he said to you his letter of love it makes his day and when you make his day boy is he gonna make yours why he you've done him proud and he loves you we are brought to you by your tithes and offerings if we have helped you then help us keep coming to you once you do that you bless God he will always bless you most important though you listen to me listen good now you stay in his word every day and his word is a good day even with trouble don't you know why it's because Jesus Yahshua is the Living Word hearing God's Word with understanding will change your life we hope you have enjoyed studying God's word here on the shepherd's chapel family Bible study hour with Pastor Arnold Murray if you would
