Thomas, January 1968 Reading meeting.
AM.
Our star, our sun, by the our spring of life with hearts is rather our wine disappeared. Our our great, our our capable.
Our role is more than hope of God.
Uncapable vibration, love our earthly path and peaceful views.
There you are, being heartbroken. Diversity still pursue.
Ever without, may they alive as though of him on every side, give #166.
Chapter One.
Song Song Chapter One.
Verse 4.
We will run after.
King.
That brought me.
Chain.
We will be glad and rejoice indeed.
We will remember thy love.
More than one.
The upright.
Love.
Right here.
This morning.
Hebrews captured well, wherefore he We also are countless about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every week and the sin without so easily.
Let us run with patience in the race for the steps before us.
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our being, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is stepped down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endure such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest he be weary than pain in your mind.
He has not yet resisted out of love.
Driving against them, And he had forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you without the children, my son despised not, while the chasing of the Lord, nor faith, when thou art rebuked of him, or whom the Lord loveth with Jason.
00:10:12
And scourge every tongue will be retained, if the endure chasing God dealeth with you as with sons. For what son is he whom the father take another? But if he be without cancer, where all our predators then are you ******** and not sons? Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh. We corrected this.
And We gave them reverence, shall we not much rather be the subjection of the Father of Spirit to live, for they barely for a few days, chasing them after their own pleasure, but He for our product, that we might be partakers of His Holiness.
Now all tastings of the President seem us to be joyous, but grievous nevertheless. Afterward it yields the feasible fruit of righteousness out of them which are exercised thereby, wherefore mixed up the house which hang down, and the people need.
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is made be turned out of the wings, but let it rather be healed.
Follow peace with all men and voters. Without wit. No man shall see the Lord looking diligently. Let any man fail of the grace of God.
Lest any root of bitterness free God trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.
Let there be any fornicator or propane person, as he saw, who for one more little beat. So is that Barney? So how afterwards, when he would have been heard of the blessings, he was rejected, or he found no place of repentance? No, he stopped carefully for tears when he had not come under the mouth that might be touched, and that burger was fired.
Blackness and death and the power of the from the voice of the word, which voice they heard increases that the word should not be spoken to them anymore, or they could not endure that which is commanded. And it showed us as.
Told across the dark, and so terrible was the sight that Moses said. I have taken a fear and wait.
And under the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and do an innumerable company of angels to the General Assembly and Church of the first quarter, which are written in heaven, and through God to judge them all. And to the Spirit of just men made perfect. And Jesus the mediator of the new government, and to the blood pressing that speak of better things than that of evils.
See, if you refuse, not in the speaker, or if they escaped, not who reviewed him that speak on earth. Much more shall not be escaped if we turn away from him and speak it from heaven, whose voice then took the earth?
But now he has promised days yet once more, I think not the earth only, but also heaven and this word. Yet what's more dignified for removing of those things that are taken as all things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may be? Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
For our God is a consuming head.
Of running the race that affected 4.
00:15:04
This chapter is so practical.
And hold is a great emphasis to be put on the first word of the chapters and not considering the witnesses that we've had before who all walked about the state.
In the bell, that debris cloud of thicknesses are known as faint.
Yes. And then we correct our five to the perfect man of faith, this great cloud of the.
Believer we they saw better blessings.
Guys are high.
Trek on this path.
That faith. But then he gives us an object and eyes and rest.
Without anything about to discourage your hindrance in the past.
We know that those recorded in the 11Th chapter, many of them went astray in one way or another, but we don't get the failure there. Why is that?
Faith not a failure.
It could be something like a little glimpse of the of the judgment seat of Christ, where the true value that God places on our life is going to be brought in. We think of Joseph in that list, and we think of him as a man of faith, and yet there wasn't one act of his life that is priority.
That God see the only point that is mentioned about him is that he gave commandments concerning his bones, while here is God beautiful review of a bar of the light and so we can.
As it were, we're standing in here in the middle on the left hand side, we see this wonderful cloud of witnesses, how God is going to really evaluate our lives on the other side, on the right hand side or on the other side. Here we see that which would hinder the sin that easily be set one side to the other side and yet in the middle for us because looking off underneath.
The witnesses, wonderful that they are.
It's a sin that made me set us on. The other did. But Christ in the Senate looking off onto Jesus face right in the middle. There's that blessed one. He alone is going to be able to to keep us in that half of faith.
John has never let them stop without witness happen on earth, and now encouragement in the days of stress like we have today as far as.
Encouragement we find in this chapters those who have suffered.
I want the truth to give it to us. How much they have suffered for? Do we really appreciate it what those who have gone before?
To give this to us. To give to us, as it were.
We have the Lord before.
Those who were as we are human beings, have to pass along the same backwards.
We have two things that hinder us in the race.
Because of the subject here.
Surrounding the cases, the rate was the best of worlds. Now man, that's running away very carefully to have any unnecessary weight from yourself.
00:20:05
The pictures of these men, these great athletes they have, the various candidates for future they don't have any encountering.
When?
And anything that was delayed, anything that was?
Incumbent.
5.
We're stringing every year.
So two things are one list.
Wait.
Every week and then the family does the week of December.
Things that are not simple as well with our weight.
I guess the man was running a rate and his gold desire was to win that rate. He was so a bag of gold as quickly as he was a bag of pebbles, because the goal would be just as much again to earn that where pebbles would be again. That's true.
Want to win that race?
So it is to consider our lives and many troublesome days Russian terror pairs down here have to taking upon ourselves things that.
Very harmless, very useful in life, but they hinder us in the race for the 74.
Nothing reasons us in our life of sin allowed of cousins.
The only thing that can weaken us in our spiritual race isn't allowed in our life.
God has provided the strength, the hardest need to ask for strength, but we need to lay aside those things that we know hinders.
To reject those things. Why? The power is available and powers there, and the attraction at the end of the road is there, please.
And I was thinking about work with patients. I remember high school years ago and there was a.
Track meet and they were having a mild race.
Followers were all there, top athletes of the school, and they all lined up as soon as the gun went off. One of the fellows I can still remember his name and he he shot ahead, ahead of the others and down the track he went, and he wasn't even looking behind them.
Everybody starts to laugh and all the auditors are big grand stamps in place with just we're already laughing at this one's self and he ran and he fought away around the track.
One suddenly he looked around and saw the others away far the back and they were just all facing together, going along quite slowly and so obtained the silly Bella. He stops and waits for them to get up to. And when he did, when they did, why all he went?
Well, they went around the practice once and twice and three times, and there they were conserving their strength. They run on the patience, but then at the last, the last came along. Then they started to see that and then the the race developed. And then the winner, he was out in front of this board chapter. Lord, he was 1011 because he had wasted his energy. He wasn't keeping his strength.
To the end.
Well, sometimes we like that. They like to make a big show and sometimes we run pretty fast and look pretty good. But when the test comes by, our strength is gone. So we need to run with patience now after we're making a display with our with our eye on the end of it, of course.
Also, says the second, on to Jesus perhaps being the and I remember another race last summer in our sunny school killers, and I remember one child particularly my they were friends.
00:25:12
And all the ones they turned around to look to see who was behind them.
And just that moment turned around, the other person passed on the other side and won the race. You could see the difference.
Since that little time you turn around, get your eyes off the mark, I lost weight.
A couple of years ago, Brother, period. It was mocked at all conferences. Crystal Wilson.
Running late?
I never forgot the last amendment with young people.
And being called offense.
Of Hebrew, he said. This race of endurance, perhaps with Philippians 3, it's more with a cost of getting the gold, but here, you know they are races they call marathon races somewhere.
And his task is to be who can hold out the wrong. And another he dropped before us was the special meaning of this passage.
#2 That he was telling about him. He was in college.
In fact that they had threshold table and the dining room for the athletes.
And the others who were not athletes, they ate different schools from the athletes, he said. Why don't rolls around on the other side? Were eating eyes and their arms tired of the athlete, he said. We were eating stupid footage. The memory is losing that word.
So attractive it doesn't that we were training for a little weight and we denied ourselves that. The bridge that always said that and they absorb.
Because.
We wanted to win that race.
Obstacles.
As we find a little further down that when the north is picked, up, consider him that injured as contradiction as soon as against himself. You may not find that much better rather than hindrance as well, unless I will be taxed on the other.
Way.
Doesn't want us to win that race. Doesn't know he's going to do everything.
To keep us from winning that great and the parts of the world, and as opposed to our progress too, then we have the blank in it.
That terribly that problem has been different across the strike. All these animals are taking in every way to hold us back and to keep us from making any progress from winning that race. But it must be a very important topic from the fear of God gives so much faith to appear.
I suppose the different weights.
The difference in each one has a different one.
The different things in life that would hinder, we all know from the same course too in that sense. But we all should have the same object at the end of the course, that right?
Yes, and I believe that second verse brings that point out by the bell. Let's see the measure of it all in this cross.
The Lord, the Lord. You look beyond the cross, didn't they? He was there, but he didn't let it be a stumbling or any God in his way. He realized all that he was going to pass through that cross but for the jaw. That was before joy. Joy that was said before we endured before cross despite the shame, and set down at the right hand from the throne of God. That's where the ultimate end we have proved that before he could grow there. We have to satisfy the righteous claims of that growth and that God. Yes.
So no one say is that, well, we have obstacles compared with what we have and the cross for him.
00:30:05
Was above all else, if anyone else would ever have to review it.
Some of the younger ones here can give us a word of elders and let us live right every week I would presume to be through another layer side everything.
Well.
Has often been expressed by keeping short account of God.
That car sends his faithful and doubt to forgive us our sins with the gladness of all unrighteousness.
I think it was telling how the lady was 55 and not only doesn't think, but the roots that produce backspin. And that I believe, is where we get the thought not only.
Based on just to forgive us, but to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, but also contain the thought that on occasion that is.
But by either the South Conference that neither has in his authority was what said to him denied the Lord, and until Peter had judged the loot, he was not fully restored. So the Lord in custody was the care of the land and sleep with the bomb when bigger gets to the place where he says.
Lower thou N all things thou northeast, that I love. It was as much as pain.
Lord, I know that no one else is going to see that I love you after behind you and the presence of the High Street. But you know I love you. The levels are very humble and face no one else would be above the floor. But he failed to pass. Well, he thoroughly cut the roots. That was the cause of his fall.
If if someone says in the 22 makes 2 remarks to me, one of them calling him by my name, says you should be trying to please the Lord more at one remark or he says to me you should be putting out of your life the things that you know. Don't plead with the Lord.
Now, which of those two statements is going to follow?
Obviously the 2nd.
And yet Satan would, would, would use that first one so that I can hear somebody saying to me, you should be pleasing the Lord and I can say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and keep on saying yes, no, yes, and never touching my conscience, whereas the other one, it hits right into my conscience. Now you should be putting up your life for things that you know don't believe the Lord. It's that I believe that we're speaking in here.
We see that silence. If we have a tender conference and this is what we need to pray for, we would have that enter conscience so that we would know those things. Let's don't please the Lord and just be the confessor and forsake of his sins and shall have mercy of the Lord. If there is that suggesting of those things that we know those beliefs, then he's going to come in and bless him. But I believe.
The conscious side that has dropped the horse here and blame those aside to depart from evil, is understanding.
Don't depart from evil. We will never understand the truth of God now our young people.
How many people to decide between?
How are they going to be able to legislate these things in our weeks and what is the guideline for that? I believe that when we are perilous, we don't know the things that we're going on with.
But we do know some of those simple things. And the things that we do know that the Spirit of God touches our consciousness. If we don't judge those, we will be absolutely blind to all the things that were going on. But I do believe that the Lord never leaves us in a state where we don't know some of those things. If we judge those things that we do know, men were brought into the presence of God to see more.
00:35:19
Things that were allowed, but if I say well I don't see them as long as what I'm going on, that's a sure sign that I am walking and disobedience things that I do know. Do you think that's right?
Over and over again. Where?
The North says we have problems. They say where have these laws and they fall.
Such a state of sensibility as they're waiting for this movie. So if there is a terrorist law and going on beveling with America.
And I'm not thinking to please the Lord and our lives. We can get in such a state that we can actually sense that cause the Western people.
Something to eat for them, but if you're not as far in the third capture of.
Now.
And now we call the crowd happy. He made that word that wickedness are set up, gave me that his daughter is delivered. That was the state of this crime. It was a crime that had come back from fabulous.
Regarding to this past later injectors and in sensibility after paper soul, but then you get friendly that fear the wall.
Rather than the real work in the soul. And there is a solid fear.
That are going on carelessly, the very fact that the mornings are are full song in his words Awakened appears going on disobeyed, then they met here, came off from one to another. There's a happy way.
Of being preserved.
To one another, about the price of things of Christ instead of things of the world and things behind in the requirements, in the courage, they can hear the Lord.
And the Spirit in the book of remembrance of referee Poland from them as fears the Lord. And that thought from his name of a remarkable statement, That is, God takes notice that we're thinking about His name.
So in our quiet moments, in our love turn to the Lord? Or are we still taking up for other things, for their minds?
Our wandering following for meaningless.
Love.
It doesn't say that the love of the Lord for Christ. It says David feared the Lord. But I believe this is, as you have beautifully brought before us, and that's the tender conscience.
That we need to have. I I always remember one of the boys and you know the book that he was saved and put on well for a while but then he got into a bad company and they start to miss the meetings and one occasion I was down there, went for a walk with him in the woods.
And we had a little talk. And after while I said to him, she nicely had a little word of prayer, so we knelt down by the rock. I pray. I don't remember what I said, but I'll never forget what he said. He was just a boy of 17.
Bird took a half a minute and he said this Lord Jesus.
Gives me a tender conscience, for thy name sake, Saul says. Welcome to restore. Well, that's what we need to pray for. A 10th of Comes if our hearts get hard.
We're going to be thinking that we're walking on and we're not, and we're going to miss the mind of the Lord. But here they, they feared the Lord. This is what we need. We're getting into the days of the fear of the Lord.
00:40:01
And it isn't before coming into the meetings careless, late, not conscious of the Lords presence. This is not fear of the Lord, is it?
These are some of the things that we sell, not having that fear at all.
The first time a good example.
But the way we should be wrong, that is the man that comes with the other target, or standing away as soon as.
The second but his delight is in the law of the world, and in the law.
Is that nothing? Is that nothing?
Like the meaning of the word.
The next prayer among all.
Yes.
You think the physical in the first part of 119 stands?
Is good for us. Let are the undefiled in the way we walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his destinies are seeking with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity. They walk in his ways, and skipping down to the ninth verse for their continuance. And how to be kept in that way? Wherewithal shall a young man fend his way by taking heed their true according to Thy word?
So it actually all bound up by the word meaning of the spirit through the word.
There's one thing that I want to solve and.
The third class of Caliphate, last verse of the third test, then telling me to return and deserve between the right to become the wicked, clean him and service dog him the service in house, and see there was a true spiritual discernment.
That's right, I'm still trying. Those who feared the Lord coming together and speaking off among you, another walking in his fear, going on faithfully together, and the things of the Lord and the discernment they lacked.
Provides a time for less.
A lot is always true where the sin is not judged. Isn't it lack of spiritual discernment?
Yes indeed.
Very nice.
Then shall we return and discern?
The discerning comes after the return, the 24th evolution.
Three things, Gospel and the walk. What makes when they were walking away from the Lord, from the Lord, from that place? And their hearts were cold, and they were reasoning, and they were sad.
And the first thing that got opened was the scriptures. He opened this, the scriptures to them, and their hearts were warm. But then when they got to their little home and amazed, then their eyes were opened and they saw the Lord. And when they saw the Lord, they had discernment that they were in the wrong place. And it said the same hour. They rose up and walked back to the intern Jerusalem as soon as the lady discussed it. They didn't say, well, we're late for the morning.
They had their eyes opened and they saw the Lord. And the moment they saw the Lord they saw that they were in the wrong place, and they returned to Jerusalem. There they find the Brethren sitting there late at night notice, And there they are sitting this talking with the Lord. He comes to their midst, but when he came into their midst it says then openly they understand. They have full discernment then, but only after they had returned.
So that's beautiful, brother Baron. Then shall we return and discern?
It already said that they were far spent.
And every reason to state what they were for the night that it said, well, I will go back in the morning. This is fresh.
Their eyes have got open and when our eyes, Joe said. I have burglary with the hearing of the ear. But now mine eyes here may have heard the Lord in salvation, but when our eyes get open to see the Lord.
And we don't want to be anywhere else but close to him.
00:45:08
And we won't want to be saying, well, what's harm, what's the harness? The harm of an excellent we won't want it. We wanted to get as far away as we can. We want to be getting as close as we can.
You know, some people use that expression to kill themselves.
Or something they haven't done.
Remember, her brother was fine.
Suddenly arrived.
Because waiting for hours to do, you have to have the door smoking on the side.
And he was quite embarrassed and was the brother of the Lord is coming to visit his home that night when he drove me to his room he said no, I have aesthetic sleep. I have a smoke. Well, I think that's kind of A use of the settings that is wrong. Some people just take that little less hypothetical sin. I can't give it up and.
Revolve out of the sense of sin.
So sorry, but as long as well, that isn't the meaning of this country to call anything, anything wrong, anything that the farmers were.
Is incentive thing to have to discuss.
I think the verse that covered that is the first chapter of Second Peter.
Second Peter chapter one.
33 From his first four versus spring, before the position of every believer, according as his divine power have given unto us all things.
13 Unto light and darkness, not only have we received all things that pertain unto our salvation, but we have received all the equipment to live a godly life. None of us, none of us can say I can't help the way I was born. That's my weakness.
We have received not only salvation, but all the equipment to live as God is by our given unto us, all things that pertain unto light and godless Mr. Martin, later Martin.
Must come into the world with a very fast doesn't mean to say it.
Right.
And say, well, I can't help that that's, that's beyond you can't say that truthfully.
In that first recorded, very long stage, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue, other words.
Going on in the knowledge of him, the other will fall in line quite regularly with us. Yeah, that's the that's the, the artist Hosea, 6 and three, says Then shall he know? If you call along to know the Lord, we'll have that discernment it.
But it's a big hit if we follow on the if we follow him, then we will know.
I believe that virtue of the third person.
First here.
Leader one is really moral courage, spiritual courage. Go out with my clothes. When he came to here, you know he knew the promise of a call. I'm concerned in his bill, but it took more than knowing the promises of God.
Took the purpose of taking a death and disease, so he refused to be called from a parallel daughter, losing rather to suffer affliction with the people of prongs, than to enjoy the creation of sin for a season.
So we know they have the glory that set before us. We're called by I really not to, but it's by glory and virtue. So we have the glory that has something definitely before our soul. We send some time to glory times before I come up with the Spirit.
00:50:24
From a dark and ***** My father's house is here.
But we need the energy to press on with that story ever before our souls. Well, God has have combined both. And the pathway. I noticed you used the word energy. That's the word that Mister Kelly uses in the expedition of Peter. And he uses the word energy for virtue and the courage to say it as well. I noticed that we measured that word enemy because it does take energy.
We can't be thoughtful of hanging back and we're not going to prove it that way.
But then the needs the courage in the Lord too. And I noticed that He uses the word energy that is brought in the fifth verse of where it changes from the position of the believer in the first four horses to the fifth verse, which commences the responsibility.
And then it says and beside all this, besides this, getting all diligence.
Add to your faith, virtue. Well, not only that we have the faith of the doctrine, but we have to add.
That energy to it. And then the next one says and to that energy.
No, it has to be guarded and directed that we might have a lot of energy even, but not directed by the word of God. So we add the faith to faith, we add the energy, and to the energy we add the knowledge of God's word. So each one is a step on top of the other and ending with the capstone, which is love at the end. Foundation is a space and Capstone's love.
Yeah.
One thing.
Is one thing that I desired for.
He says they all have that desire, the battles at all that will. I think after is not open the desires the divine nature as a part of to us. But then there must be the spiritual energy of thinking after about this new nature desire. You couldn't be tired of thought without having a desire to please the Lord and to know more of himself praise.
He gets the law sinners. He didn't have that desire.
But then we need the very things that I was talking about that.
Here very difficult indeed that spiritual energy to seek after those things. That's very important. We very easily hide them in that only we say, oh, the Lord knows my heart, he knows that I must please. And then we hide under that as an excuse for not acting in The Walking end remarkably made.
The truth.
Is that right that what we have here?
The advances to say that truth remains to those who live it out.
Return very cold. So unless we live practically and the enjoyment of the truth of God, we're going to do in our souls the truth. Because the truth is something that isn't just like a subject in mathematics that you can master with your mind and know it. Set it back as something from subject you have to change.
00:55:05
But drivers? Something that is connected with the the walk and obedience of the time of God.
This is why it is Dangerous isn't to read literature books.
Listen to radio Ministry of those who don't walk in the truth. We're going to get, we're going to, we're going to call into their ways.
Especially today, because there isn't so much compromise, so much compromise. Giving up a little bit of truth here, a little bit of truth that you go along with somewhere else. You can't do that and be faithful to the Lord can, and we won't have the discernment to be able to detect the error, and so it will think that it's all right.
I suppose, going back to our chapter, the second person to find that looking unto Jesus, the author finishing our feet group with the joy that was set before him. It's like April and Isaac went. Both of them went together. We were all together and one mind. And so the Lord was in communion with the Father by the law in his heart. Then he was fulfilling the Father's will, and he looks beyond the cross.
The vote was ever before.
And the joy set before that joy was doing the Father's will here and going on the glory after it was completed. And not only Snow, but I'm sure it had to join his heart. He was going to, he was going to have a ride at the end of it, with no doubt there's more. The Father starts here. That was his joy, don't you think? Yes, I think.
Father remarkable that the Lord spoken of as a man of faith.
And you need to leave out the word there. That's in the power.
Looking under Jesus, the author and finisher notes that our faith that isn't right. The author and senator afraid author is the defender. And then the signature shows that the Lord ran the whole pathway of faith.
Without a break, when I was without a normal friend, he was walking in that path.
We think of the Lord and the eternal 1.
To remember that ones who wrote from all eternity became our real man.
Man of grace and love lived a life and a clearer living down here. Let's see and what is the life that we have before?
Civilized faith.
Or I was the first chapter of the First Church of the Memes. Doctor Who tells us now faith was the substance of things or the evidence of things not seen. And if there isn't one thing connection with our, with our.
Where there's visible to the natural eye, you never had people to hell.
We have never met anyone of sin and heaven come back to tell us about it. All we have to go by is dog word and believing his word they require faith.
Oh Lord went through the scene, the very theme through which we're passing, and he walked in the path and the way that you and I didn't walk in the past.
And.
Energy of faith. It's nice too to see it looking unto Jesus here, which will bring forth what you've already said and being a man down here.
You are a defendant, man, was he not? In every way. And we find in the 16th cell the very first verse. Preserve me, O Lord, for thee corrupted my trust. But the family was lost in decentest. People praying that paper. That's all.
What was the joy that was before him?
Joy, that was before him. He's got.
01:00:04
The first.
Well, I guess.
It was until I was doing the college on the other hand, finishing the work he did in this scene and then.
Feeding himself there and the full job of the father of favor.
Would that be something like the Hebrew servant who, when he had served for seven years, didn't say I love my wife?
He didn't say that first, but he said, I love my master, my wife, my children. There was the order. Would that be the same thought? He he loved his master? Well, that would be the the joy would not of Christ of having finished the work that was given for him to do.
For the college glory I glorified Thy name on the earth.
I have finished the workman's valve gave us.
Partly left first of the 53rd of our time to do that, he shall see of the camera of his soul, and being satisfied.
Chelsea of the fruit of the track.
These are wonderful prophets after 4 hour souls, the precious story called.
And long after 11:00 the Lord goes under her haste.
And.
He knows us through and through.
You know.
And come down into this thing. That's because of the results in Lord and so on, as the precious stroke from the word of God comes before our souls.
Of which I have to rejoice together, and do not open them, and then do. It's connected with holiness.
The power of iniquity, holiness, and unequal together. But how precious it is who claims to God. You have the word of God, and see like this in the past, enclosing Gables to guide us and direct us in the way walk into the visibility.
So hard as we opted for, and has given here as instruction for the kids, who for the joy of the set before it, that is once sustained, the Lord in the pathway of faith was having an object at the end of the journey.
So he had that ever before, and that's what sustained into all the crowds.
Rejection and.
How the end of the day of the world never kept that option music.
And it was a marvelous object that must have been to the soul to someday complete the work down here and then sit down.
And the followers of the Father's throne to enjoy all the favor.
The line and they approve of the followers love well when we think the lovers.
Before us we have also an object to sustain us in the past halfway of faith or it's not an easy path as long as the roughness and.
Uncertain paths.
01:05:00
Many fires, many dangerous in a world that hate Christ has cast him out. If we're faithful, we're going to have the enemy in hatred of the word as we go on our way. But if we keep the end before our souls, it will strengthen us to meet these files along the way. And we can say that in a small.
Way that.
So they can have the same.
Object before us someday giving him.
About enjoying his approval and his delight is well done at the end of the week.
Let's remember to allow us to be in heaven with the Lord's approval is something that will go wrong for all eternity. There are certain rewards and the kingdoms see thou and said it see thou were 5 minutes. But the approval of the Lord will go on even into eternity when there is no earthly Kingdom, when Christ has delivered of the Kingdom is all involved. So this little while we're passed into this scene.
Meeting the trials and images. Walking in the path of faith.
We can gain left with the last all return.
Speaking of the joy of the Lord, I was thinking of a versatile brother. Harry Hale used to quote quite often from Nehemiah.
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty. He will save. He will rejoice over thee with joy. He will rest in his love. He will joy over thee with singing at the restored Israel. Isn't it?
But as long as you see where the Lord found His joy in our chapters, as we've already explained before us, is that his, His joy, the object of end, the finishing of work and being with his father in the community with him and it all. But it's nice to see his joy is going to be all of that redeemed Israel and restore so that the promises of Isaac and Jacob, Isaac, Abram, Isaac, Jacob.
Will be fulfilled. But it's nice to see what the Lord finds his job, isn't it?
And I'd like to go to your software. We gave us a while back for the bell with this. It was just looking unto Jesus. It's not here looking unto the Lord and looking unto Jesus Christ, or looking unto God, but looking up to Jesus, the one who has gone to every trial that we could possibly go through.
He's the man Jesus, the one who is the food.
And for the wilderness journey the man, when they got into the land, the manna ceased, and then they had the new food, Christ and exaltation they did the corn, the lamb, and the wild, and the wilderness. And this is our captor. And they had that man as a food, relaxed Jesus in his humiliation. So it's looking to the one who can completely sympathize with every trial that we can ever go through.
The one who is endured is.
Where do we find that? Right? Where do we find that? Is that not in the Gospels we fight for there? Yes, yes, yes. And I think that there's a rather core of a few stars. I guess it is not.
JD Bell, who says that when we get to the glory of the epistles, the need for the epistles will have passed. That's a wonderful journey, but they believe that we would revert back to the Gospels, to the light of the Lord Jesus here, your man on earth.
He was a member that came down from heaven.
Every day they couldn't gather a conversation tomorrow, except for the one day where.
Makes their heart while looking off on the Jesus.
Nothing anymore. Impossible. Cast aside every rate that is. We're just looking at circumstances with other options, but nothing to be here and when we're looking off the Jesus.
But tell a man that were reminded to give up some of his wealth and heard the Lord of these folks concerned about.
01:10:12
Living around home and everything down here, when of course that's impossible that's that's the very life. But with the eye on Christ and glory looking under him and doing his lesson pathway and certainly humbles us to think that he had nowhere to bring his kids. He went through the scene, an outcast stranger with the eye kicked on. That blessed woman parade was asleep and had decided every week.
And the business? That's the reason, because we have such an hobby before our souls.
And as we have them here, as our passion for the race is nice to see that in the 4th chapter, Jesus there again and he's put in heaven for us now.
The 14th verse of eight times. Seeing then that we have a great High priest that is passed into the hymn that through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, full pass of profession, we have not had peace. It's going to be touched with the feeling of our infirmities.
But with no points every night as we are yet without sin, that is therefore come boldly under the sword of faith, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. So there again it is Jesus, the Son of God.
I apologize. Notice really well that in the first verse of the third chapter of the Federal Reasons where for a Holy Brother the acreage of the heavenly hall considered the apostle of High Trade Streets of our faith.
The land in his humiliation Down here the names of art took in when he was born. The Bethany.
Hebrews is a Congress with all the failure of the of the 1St.
Well work of the Tabernacle of the old Covenant, which failed. And so Hebrews takes up 1 by 1 The different persons Moses there, and the different colors.
In the work of God and they failed. But the Hebrews shows the contrast and everything is imperfection. So we don't have provision made for our failures in Hebrews. It's not the entity there, it is the high priest, that one who maintains us now for me. So everything is seen as an imperfection in Hebrews compared with the failures.
And the widgets compared in the Old Testament, there are two words that continually binding the word better and eternal.
Setting aside that which was only for time, we've gone on to something that's fair and have something that's better, something that goes on in return.
Yes.
Despising the shade.
Of a life exchange the Lord here.
Think of his familiar.
Sitting in his face and coming here, walking him about the need, still in the prophesied, crowning him with the curse of the earth.
And then I'm walking proud, followed him through the shops and then lifting him up and for hours just sort of walking him and then the the leaders of the Jewish religion, the High Street all the way over.
Just out there, floating over the side of that in front of the man, No one ever went through the skinny and blessed. The Lord endured, and yet he was despised because of the game that was here. So I want every little way in the air report for the name of Christ. As the as Peter tells us, happy are these.
01:15:01
Of the Spirit of glory and God.
Israel despised that glorious land, and we are too just as reliable to, if we're not careful, where to despise some of this wonderful.
Person that we are considering.
Not, not outwardly, but we may. If we're not careful, we may despise this and turn back to the world.
If they're not, failed to when they despise the matter, this worthless school, and that's the specific of Christ.
#48
I am Father's house. Above all man's disrepair. There is a home. The rest we love and there are right before #48.
To master we would no longer be.
Our whole situated.
The patient in life. So I saw them as I know we were and both.
01:20:02
Hours by showing contempt how? Every time allow the strong.
Hebrews 12:3-17
Reading
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
Saint Thomas, January 1, 1958 Reading Meeting.
We're on the final five. We will do ever.
Now they know we will never be used.
Or.
Our life.
Through the floor and floor and patience and watch.
This is never dangerous. We threw it as a role, as Pilgrim here. As strangers, we take the rest of the hospital.
87.
All 4000 + 800 this period. That's true. What, 45 and 82 expenditures better than the world? And that's my heart.
So now I'm never transferred. All praise to be gone by it was after 187.
Exploded.
Large house West town Journey fell here on stage.
The president to continue on.
You can get 3/5.
Beginning with the third verse.
Or consider him that endures such contradiction of standards against himself. Let he be weary to the pain in your mind. He has not yet resisted on the blood driving against him, and he had forgotten the expectations which speaketh unto you without the children. My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faith, when thou art the use of him For whom the Lord loveth he chase us and.
Curts us every son whom he receive us.
Let the *** irritation God give us with you with sons. For what sons is he whom the Father chasing us not? But if he gave without capsule, where are all our teachers then? Are you ******** and not sons? Furthermore, we have had fallen of our place, which corrected us. We gave them reference. Shall we not much rather be in subjection under the father of spirits, than it is?
For they services of duty came to us after their own language, but he for our prophet, that we might be partakers of his motivation. Now location for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous nevertheless Afterwards it yield us the peaceable truth and righteousness unto them with their exercise thereby Wherefore lift up the hands of which hang down, and the people need, and make streets, and for your feet.
Lest that which is lame, they turned out of the way, but let it rather be healed.
Both peace of all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord looking diligently. Let any man fail of the grace of God left any root of bitterness springing up from you, and thereby many be defiled, left to be any fornicator of obeying persons, as he saw who for one morsel me sold his birthright.
For you know how that afterwards, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected, For he found no place of his temples, though he saw it carefully with tears. For you are not come under the mouth and might be touched, and that burned with fire, surrounded blackness and darkness and temples, and the town of the front of him, the voice of words, which voice they have heard in treatment, that the word should not be spoken to them anymore, for they could not endure that which was commanded. And it's so much that the beast touched the mountains, it shall be sold, and crossed through with the dark and so terrible with the sights that Moses said, I exceedingly feared, quaint.
00:15:33
But here come unto Mount Zion, and under the city of the living God the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, the General Assembly and Church of the platform, which are written in heaven, And to God the judge of all, and to the Spirit of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speak of better things than that of evil.
See the key reviews not in the ticket or if he is not.
Who reviewed him that speak on or much more shall not re escape if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven, Whose voice family took the earth. But now we have promising yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word yet was more signifies the removing of those things that are shaped as of things that are made.
That those things which cannot appreciate him may remain. Wherefore we receive a Kingdom which cannot be moved. Let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence, and God appears, for our God is a consuming fact.
Seem to be two sources of the trials here, whether the the third verse.
Or consider him that in your contradiction of sinners against himself, Oh, source of this was from Satan through the instruments of his, and we are considered a blessed Lord who endure that.
Let's see the wording of pain in your heart minds not in the heart and mind. And then it goes on into the fifth verse. 40 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as and the children, my son.
That's not safety. Living this is now on the father is another side for nothing. Two sides.
There are three forms of chapters that have enough.
Three forms of check.
About this erected and tune God dates to the way November to the Lord. Pray for Peter and pray without faith fell not performance and then has to be corrected. We still want no heart. And if we don't have any difference on the same incorrectness, you put us back in the background. That's the one that's right.
And there's also productive businesses.
Every branch and me the various schools he purchased it that it may mean for more.
Productive.
It's not always a questification for Senate, no.
Even the the fault here shaped doesn't imply that all shapes in his punishment when you get curtain, so that's definitely a punishment.
The chasing is child training.
And may include the other kinds of.
Chasing and their brothers are Speaking of. I didn't We've become the children of dogs and faith in Christ Jesus.
How we're in his school and where he's training us. Hopefully we meet any part of the heavens we've already the whole title in heaven and the blood of Christ that we're trusting him.
00:20:14
But he wants us to.
Enter into the Garden of Cross before us, other words that Peter tells us to have an abundant interest.
So this whole life after we are saved is a training that we fall asleep.
That passes through to train us and prepare for the theme of glory. That's all the Oasis.
And we're living like Christ.
Joe In his trials, he never mentioned Satan's name once.
He thought everything was coming from the Lord.
Oh God you thank you yes to when Job speak that when he says the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord he accepts it from the from the Lords hands.
We get the lesson of our left, the Lord on the way to the cross. When Peter drew the source, his answer was the cup which my father.
He didn't say the cup, which hair or high priest her. I don't know if angles except all the persecution and abusive to pass through something that Father had permitted.
And that's the power is given for us.
And that would be in line with what you get here. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself.
No one was ever so misused.
All that surely we should endure the form of the insults and a contempt that the world shows for us.
So first you get price.
And the object sets before us, and then you get Christ as a pattern, something like your address was very.
Looking off on the Jesus would be more of the whole corner of the land, and consider him that endures this contradiction of sinners against himself to be more like banana to encourage us signs of discouragement.
It's profitable to notice that.
In that third verse, it was from.
But from the Lord, and there's only one result.
Let's see, be wearied and faint in your mind.
Well, that was the one result.
But when the Lord does the chasing.
Farther on, there are three possible outcomes.
The first one in the fifth verse, my son, despise now thou chasing the Lord.
Well, that's not found in that first one. In the third verse, when Satan is doing it, it's weird and being fainted and get discouraged. Satan wants to discourage everyone else. Now in the lower speaks to us and to to correct this or to chasing us.
The lion will get hard. We're liable to despise and and get hardened and and defend ourselves and get quite self-righteous and get hard and lose that tender conscious. And then the second one nor faint. That's the next sign. Now we might get discouraged even when it comes from the Lord. We might think so. He said don't think.
That's the second possible outcome of taking and I'm going to go down to the the electric.
Now I'll chasing by the time and present scene of Joyce agrees. Nevertheless, after it yielded the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Now there's a third possible result, and the blessing to be exercised by the trial. Don't get harder, don't faint, but the exercise.
00:25:25
And the four words the Father reminds.
Believers.
They have gone as far as their prejudices and their testimonies as they left. The Lord is gone, yet not yet resisted on the floods, crying against sin.
It always is of getting who they are.
And have been aligned the old nature to come in. They do things and that are wrong.
Rather than, you know.
The desires of the old nature we should always resist, not regardless of what may cost us. I think Peter takes up the same line of things if you look at First Peter 4 16.
For as much sin as Christ has suffered for us in the place, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind. For he that has suffered in the flame has seen some sin.
I require one of the arms, your cells of the same mind.
I believe it means that rather than to allow cities to exist.
That is the person, not his name before God. Why he was told about changeful cross apparently awful justice dog, rather than to allow the sins of his people to continue as a barrier that never could be overcome.
As the Lord will endure all that in order to pull away our things now, he says, Arm yourselves was the same mind, that is, resist without any limit to any.
Desire and approachment of the old sinful nature. You're blessed. The Lord enjoys all that for you. How much are you willing to endure for him rather than to allow sin in your life, no matter what people may say or how they may persecute you, or what trials and sorrows who may go through?
Let's resist any way the old nature might come in and take advantage of what you're passing through.
How he brings in the will of God and Peter there in your second verse.
Much then, as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourself likewise in the same mind. For He has suffered, He has suffered in the past of peace from sin.
And he no longer should live the rest of his time in the best lust of men, but to the will of God.
As you connect to what I brought here.
If God allowed cats, when your life reminds me, how do we represent the blessing function? Is it not to subject ourselves to?
Oldest and from the Lord, and seek to be something and humble in and your.
If it's justified.
Then we better get into the presence of the Lord and find and confess. But as you call others caused in our own, it is not justified. Leave it with the Lord.
Don't get out there and try to straighten that. I believe it was the Lord the person who does something against us, and it's not right, for the Lord will deal with that person. If on the other hand, it is right, well then take it from the Lord and find out why the Lord had to allow you to go through it.
The novel is that beautiful word in our Catholic They asked the word and the person is going through trial to save as an actor to this. There's an actor. I'm getting my eye on the afterwards and I'm an exercise and by what I'm going through, but I know there's an asteroid, there's an after yield to this whole.
00:30:11
Yield to every blessing that we are, to every child that we are exercising.
After he endured to receive the promise.
And could we in that verse that you have mentioned, I like the way the interpretation is put on. Can we also say that's the one Peter, for he that hath suffered in the flesh have ceased from sin? To bring it down to an example, would this be correct if somebody says to me to come along?
At work. Come on after. Want to have a little target after. But you know I don't want to go. Oh come on. No. Have enough and say, oh, there wouldn't be any any good with that if you're not there. So it's flattering. I said no, I've been on the Lord. Well, the flesh has been to suffer because greatly my old nature wants to go.
And so then they start to threaten me and they, they might say some nasty things, try to hurt me. So I say no, I can't go. But the flesh in he wants to go. My old nature wants to go, but he's trying to say it doesn't. It wants to go. But I I say no, I I don't want to go.
At least I won't go, so I don't. Well, the flesh suffers and I don't see either have suffered in the flesh has peaceful sin. My heart is filled with joy, but my flesh suffers. Is that right? Yeah, it might be a case where someone.
Says a very long time not necessary thing. May be untrue things to you and the for me and the plate for our left where I'd like to just hand the black something in the same coins what the doesn't need letting him instead of.
Getting angry and saying a lot of hard work and defense or and recruiting a very patiently, the old nature suffers. It's like to just say I'll give him a piece of my mind, but if I just let it quietly leave it to the Lord and well, the old nature suffers. Because you know how the old nature likes to defend itself to say a lot of things.
Would be perhaps true and perhaps amount of earth, but still did the old flesh in us. Unless they all nature suffer, it doesn't hurt. It's worthless and it's only going to get us in trouble anyway. Let's an old nature suffer and just as you say, then we please consider.
Then that we should not live the rest of our days. Remember our emphasis Peter puts on the rest of your days. That is the only that most of us here just a few years since death is the Lord Paris. OH, how are we going to spend the rest of those days? Please ourselves, get on this world and have a good time or end it to the will of God?
And really catch the fact of the person.
There she brings the fact that Christ is suffered for us in the flesh.
Then it brings it the end up of the will of God.
And Christ has so suffered for the pleasure later armor self likewise the same mind that this might be the English and Christ Jesus. And then have you done that We're not to live the rest of our time in the past unless the men but the world gone, he said. Christ as our example in the will of God is our pattern.
And everyone that is going to digressively long but it in the first Peter was 5 chapters. In every one of those chapters there is a beautiful.
Turning to crust in the sorrows and trials and every one of the chapters is at the middle of each chapter is very low as you see our field.
Each one of those chapters is well worth everyone taking time yourself to see them and to see how our hearts are drawn to trust what they've gone before.
And then ending up in the 5th chapter and by saying.
00:35:05
And the 10th verse. But the God of all grace, who have called the Son to his eternal glory by the Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while may be perfect established, strengthen second within the glory of dominion forever left hands.
And connection with.
6th verse and scourge of every thumb whom we received by the rest of the gills, built to tell us if I was a perfect answer for these so-called holy people, as they had never sinned.
Well, it would just have some of the questions my old Does the Lord ever have to discourage you? You ever get into any difficulties in your Christian life? Well, as they do is that they ask the Lord that the spirit well and that shows there must be something wrong or why we discourage it. Perfectly sinless child. And if they say, Oh no, I've never had anything like that, well then this could share meets them too.
Because it says there's no one on the fire that's heard that every child whom he received. So as they said, well I never had anything like that dog hasn't had the spirit new lens, it says your ******** and options, you know child of law.
So it really makes The Cave both ways.
I don't want to thank, but I think we've had a little bit about being weary to think in your mind. Just thinking of the Word and 40 of Isaiah. It's good for the young people here too, because things are in on street from the 28th verse to get our connections to the leader versus before me. Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard of the Everlasting God, the Lord the Great of the end of the year?
Neither is with there is no searching of his understanding. He gave a thought of faith to them that have no strength to increase the strength. Even the use of painted. The weighted young men shall early fall, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings and Eagles. They shall run and not be variables. They shall walk and not faint.
They're all the remedies, no matter what the circumstances may be, is there?
Whereby we we don't need to pay, we get really, we get paid. There is a remedy for it, isn't it?
Yeah.
There's no searching of his understanding.
They were almost 8:30 at the 17th verse.
Talk about.
This will see that we suffer with him and they also.
Have a tough screen called. Discrepancies are not willing to be prepared with the floor of each other if you are not.
Hope to connect that to you.
The the suffering within this brother man.
There is a difference between suffering with Christ and suffering for Christ.
In the verse we've been coming out.
Yet not yet resisted on blood thriving against sin. That's more.
Suffering for Christ persecutions and for many of the Lord people have been burned at the stake in their testimony for him. But there's another character of suffering that's mentioned there in the eighth of Rome that if we suffer with it.
How tell us today and this company have ever known too much about so happened for Christ. We're not living in a landlord. We can't read our Bibles, where if we have a meeting like this, officers might come in and arrest us for spending our time this way. Or we went home and find our home Wisconsin.
Complicated because of our.
Our faith in Christ and maybe we land in jail for the days old. We don't know very much about that. Schools and communist country 'cause people are fast.
00:40:11
That the suffering with Christ is the suffering we can all share.
Well, we look at the proof creation as the role goes on to to speak up the whole creation grown up and travel together in pain. Until now we see four animals, Portugal, suffering.
And we feel for great unions and their measurable or if we've updated into the sufferings of the human family, we think of all the hospitals, all the sorrows, we think of the hundreds of people that have been killed during this.
Holiday season and broken homes, the broken hearts, the sadness of this, this sad world for which we're passed. Well, doesn't the Lord feel that indeed He does feel that and when we think of the church resolved in this rule, always robbed and.
And hindered him and his blessings that we feel how Christ feels and concerns.
The Church for which he loved and gave himself forward. We think of the perishing souls going down to eternity. How God feels for those who are diluted sinners in their rebellion, how the heart is all yearns over there. Those four threats and sinners. That's the sign of suffering with Christmas and the more we enter into the suffering with Christ.
The more the size of framing with him is brought before us, brought before us, we go on pardon them.
Difference in terrorists and means nothing to us. While there's burden in the heart of Christ there, the process is lost when connection with our communion and with, I believe, our enjoyment of Christ and the heavenly scene when this journey is over.
Is that right by the company?
The Lord that brings before the disciples in the 15th of John. So now here in the eighth of Romans who brought the forest for coherent join the earth and there's children in ears here to go and joint ears with Christ. And so be that we suffer with them, that we may also be also glorified together so that we're voting enjoy the assumptions, we're going to enjoy the glory.
And the suffragettes always come before the glory.
There are.
I just trying to say think the way, Mr. Director.
Co heirs, whole sufferers and Co glorified ones.
Two, there are two types of substance, and.
Dangerous to speaking so analytical away and you might use that expression, there's the suffering.
For sin and that is from God and that was alone the Lord peace to death. But there is suffering from the hands of men for righteousness sake.
Do the types of suffering we share only the lateral God?
If we do Second Timothy 2 That's that we will arrange.
The 22nd Psalm brings before the sufferance of the Lord Jesus at the hands of God.
It ends in glory for 69th before the sufferings of the Lord Jesus at the hands of men, and it ends in Jeff.
And his brother, John Willis, they wanted him to sign a statement with you working everything Royal Bank.
For a quote that there's so much money on the bank and he knew there wasn't, that he wouldn't do it well, he had the enmity of all the other employees in the bank. He was suffering for righteousness sake because he wouldn't find policy.
Well, one May 1 may couple that we might even lose their job because they they wouldn't do to something that's dishonest or or evil or wrong. But my mom is preaching the gospel. They throw songs at you or that's that's something surprise they do.
00:45:20
And there's the differences. They're not as suffering for Christ and suffering from racial mistakes.
What you speak of now, Brother Lee, Brother John L Willis?
He suffered for legacy. But then I know another Christian brother who we went preaching on the street corners and they told me they didn't start preaching, they lost them on the street corners. He produced his job, but don't forget anyone in the bank. So he got out of the bank and that wasn't much of A greatest mistake. As for the losses?
That was mentioning that suffering for the truth, the other was just righteousness and good unsaved man that suffered in that first way. But yes.
Well, how would you connect the two persons and the first Princess?
Potentially no system of the body but that remember could have the same scare one or another. And where does one member suffers? All the members suffer with us all, never beyond all members up here, now or the.
You know we are associated.
Should not want to care for them and deal for them those what is the departments and lands and don't have the buses and privileges that we have. Do I ask you?
I'll give the short thing that you'll care for that finger a little more. You will any other part of your body. Well, soon, won't you? So the truth is the one body we have there in parentheses. And so that is the thought, isn't it? 1 member suffered. All members suffer with these. We should take them in.
Let's see thought In the sixth verse, whom the Lord loved, he takes.
On the most.
Time that seems very hard. And files and sorrows.
Her fortunes?
I remember a brother called her telling my opinion was about the Collier family they had. The two or three children were drowned.
And.
They lost three children. They went out on the canoe of things and were drowned and he said that he was visiting the home. My sister was, Collier said. Said brother Carl. Is it because the Lord is angry with him that he is allowed on the power to come to our home? Well, he had the opportunity to use this purse.
Whom the Lord loved other comforting verse. It was at a time like that when their hearts were broken because.
Of sorrow that had come into their home, that they couldn't understand why the Lord had committed such a tragedy. And as to lose, I think it was at least two of the family at one time. Well, we need to.
Be reminded of that the Lord is always for us under all circumstances.
God before us, who can be against us.
Remember 1 occasion when a brother asked brother late brother Harry Hagel about his brother Ross. Brother Robert take a long time and this brother passed the body. How was it?
Uncle, Uncle Rabin, some sick. So long you could call the man. Why? And never forget he turned her to this hymn 338. And here's the children different times. I won't read it all. You can read it yourself.
There will be diversity. Read. We welcome all my sovereign wills for all that will is love. And when we know what our dust, we wait the line apart. Thy gracious love in all our nature of heavenly lighting path be our name of endless praise for all things else to pass. Have the answer again. That is very good.
00:50:08
And don't you think?
This too that.
If we are.
If we go through life and everything is nice and smooth, and the nice happy home and not much sorrow experience, well we get to the glory and there we see exposed divorce, the man of sorrows and all that he went through. Well, if that were true of my life, I might not be able to enter into the extreme extent the depths of the stars.
But if, on the other hand, we have gone through deep stars, deep trials, then when we get to the glory and there we see that one was a man of sorrows and we have unfolded to us what he went through. Or we're going to be very able to enjoy and to understand the depth of the stars.
Some of the Swedish hymns have come from those who suffered the motion. I think that the young girl just have been hammered perhaps renewed and said Ruby McKenzie Moyer and her head was drawn away back and she was all tipping up and she laid in that because she was 16 years old. The Lord took her home and it was just just lovely to meet some of the poems in him that she composed and her have just four face to a boy never had a grounded or anything like that.
The Lord comes to her, and there is someone still printed around from the hair.
In that first do we have two circumstances, for whom the Lord loveth and takes us at the 1St, and assured us every time when we receive it, whom the Lord love to chase them and skirt just every son will be receiver but there.
Don't you think Brother Walker that is they chasing. There is the child training that we mentioned the beginning of the meeting. So we have many ways that God has to deal with us and and preparing us. Maybe forecast the usefulness down here testimony for him connection with our.
Our reward hereafter.
May not all be failed, but when it's curtain is definitely because of failure, and there's not one of God's children that escapes both of these forms of disciplines, both safe and discourages.
That the word case that is in connection with silver.
Case Silver is a highly.
Polished soap.
No, no tarnishing on It has had the buffer on and has.
And has got everything that would hinder the reflection and the beautiful and shine others called Chase Silver. Paul speaks in the Second Corinthians. And enough of for I am jealous over you with the God is jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband that I have made present you as a chaste virgin to president. You think that's right, brother simulator?
I suppose in general these expectation in Hebrews in particular where you are refers to.
Dealing with the flesh while preventing it from accident.
But we embrace so how we may even think of be delivered from the works of the flesh.
Threatening ourselves dead, indeed dead into those things the same as you go straight. Being dead to the polite invitations, or gone, or threatening and being dead to them is what to to believe it. This sensation will stop. There wouldn't be so much of that.
Form of teaching.
To a Hebrew believer with a brother.
00:55:05
Of breaking yourself dead, for instance.
Being directly to the new nature which presents or would not be touched by substance.
We have quite a contrast drawn in the 90s and controversy. Furthermore, we have had fathers of our place which corrected us, and we gave them reference, shall we not?
And we gave them, Reverend, shall we not much rather be a subjection on the Father of spirit, Father of spirit, that bears incomes.
With our faith fathers.
And live, or they barely for a few days to change us after their own pleasure, that he for our covenant, that we might be partakers of His Holiness.
That is, God has far greater and far wider plans than the very best churches often that ever lived.
The nursery father has as good as his child down here. He wants to see him walk, to be strong, healthy.
Man has been get a job and seeing her get along well in school or in business whenever his occupation is, we have present things in view.
That the eternal scene that applies ahead and we might raise partakers.
His Holiness.
Well, that's a guess for us.
I suppose this is a practical holiness, because positionally, without believing love now here is practical for this year, and that common side very well speaks about the side of dog sovereignty of the Art memorial.
Is it a good thing as scholars to remind our children of this? And I say to my boy, well.
I've got a father who? I'm your father, and I have to insist on obedience.
Now the reason why I'm doing that is because I have a father who insists on obedience to if I'm going to be happy and live. So I can read this verse to him and say to him, I'm teaching you obedience now and you must obey this because I have a positive.
If I obey him, I'm going to be happy, and you're going to be happy in this moment.
That was a good way to bring the child's thoughts to our responsibility.
Very practical for these young couple here.
Any 1011. There is now no shaping for the friends seemeth to be joyous.
Nevertheless, it heals the peaceable truth, the righteousness of them which are exercised thereby.
It isn't always a sign of spirituality for one to stay in time, St. Carl stress.
That.
Thank and praise the Lord, for it might be that it's all intense that one to really be in his presence. As a crime, he permitted the stars coming to his class.
I know, someone said well.
If I have a good crop, I thank God for that. I have a great open later. Thank God for that. But it might be a time. Instead of thanking adults for the the broken leg, it might be an act to be on mom's face before the Lord and to inspire it to the reason why God has committed this trial comes on Christ. That's very important.
Those who are exercised thereby, that's where I was left in town.
Nothing happened by chance, does it? No.
Quite a saying, no, That's one of those things to pass it off, is that.
Now let the Elizabeth sister had lost her husband, so she said well.
01:00:05
We have to take the ups and the downs of life, and this is one of the downs. Well, I have to remind you that this is the way the world looks at things. This is human.
Card say that's not taken from the Lord and.
That's not learning what the Lord has before us that draws closer to himself.
What's the meaning of the verse? The steps of a good man are over to the Lord.
It was the same as the 84th electric a man whose strength is in thee, and whose heart are the ways of them. When the one is going on to please the Lord, he knows the way that he's going to be taking 32nd sounds, as I will guide you with my eyes or command that has been restored. And the Lord, the Lord parks his mind to him, and so he walks in that way.
The Lord's mind and the evils on. On the other hand, I'm terrorists. I'm going to be not knowing the mind of the Lord. So I believe that verse implies that it's one walking like the Lord, as He knows the way he has to die. The Lord. We're going to exercise those steps.
As statistics, yes.
At all for the purpose of guiding in the right way.
God that doesn't want us to be like the horse and the mule, which have to be turned, guided by mid and bright, the last being guided by circumstances. But God may have to do that. But it's the second best method. He wants to guide us with his eyes.
You can only know his mind that we're walking in the media.
Finally, that's very important what you have brought and I think we all need to take that. But it's not, it's it's greed for the present. It's greed. We try to rise above and say, well, I'm going to be cheerful. That's not learned what the Lord has in advance, is it?
As always, the African yes, it's like Joe. You have heard of the faces of Joe and seeing, you know, and I just read it there in the 5th chapter of James.
And they left words of James fire.
Holy counts and happy which endures? Well, we do.
Have springs happening. You have heard of the patience of jokes and have seen the end of the Lord. The Lord is very available and tender mercy.
That is a gift for all those chapters and jokes, giving an account of his what he passed through before you get to where he has really submitted to the hand of salt and money.
See. Ever a pretty severe thing for Joe, not only to lose everything he has.
And there's a van.
And yet to take that patience, and to say the Lord gave, and the Lord had taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. But still Job hadn't learned his lesson.
And when your three friends arrived and they speak for a joke, there is his misery. It was covered with foils.
Craving himself with a touch here by then it brings out what hadn't been brought out before and that is the pride that was in his heart. Then he rises and curses the day of his birth. And then those three friends say a conflict, what Satan couldn't accomplish for it and that is to bring out the self-confidence.
And the good opinion he had of himself, he had a very high opinion of himself. He had reason for a good opinion of himself.
Or even the Lord's total Satan, that was not like it on the face of the earth, a perfect man, and upright and one that feared God in the two evils, and yet that that good man have mere perfect as a man could possibly be. And to find out what was really at the bottom of his heart. And he took those 3 prints to bring it out. And what was so very trying in the trial he went through with those friends was that they falsely accused him.
01:05:08
They lied about it. They made-up their mind that God would never punish a man as Joseph inflicted, unless it was something very wrong in his life. Therefore Joe must be a bad man. He must have done a lot of evil things there thought was never a sickness while Jealous knew that their whole period was wrong and false and it irritated him and got him angry and he just defended himself and very.
Vigorous and vicious and vicious ways.
But it took all I have to bring out what was in Joe and then when he gets to the end and let the end of the Lord very critical. Then he says I've heard of him about the hearing of the year and now when I see it the and I inform myself and repent in dozen nations there we get a man really at the end of himself. And then elitist ways all comes in and bless him and he's only though when he has prayed for those three friends that.
That lied about him and falsely accused him that the lesson counts. That was very easy to pray for those that had been lying about him all that time.
And even when he said that, though, he slated yet will I trust him. He thought it was a very lovely thing to say. But he hadn't come to the end of himself when he said that, you know?
We have to be careful when we say that too. He had further lessons to learn.
In connection with the Spirit and the flesh.
I'm on the interceptors to get out on charge with the John.
Scriptures and read the two scriptures from his and Romans. Costing all the age of Romans is cheaply on that planet so the gap is easy to estimate the best of power. But here is it is.
There Roman tape momentum. There is therefore not with no condemnation.
Then become in Christ Jesus as one friend who was not after the place but after the Spirit of another woman, when the law of the Spirit was life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death. That's precious sentence.
What the law hurts us to in the first week through the letter God sending his own something, the letter something, but enforce him condensing in the flesh. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilling us who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. For they there are after the best you mind the things of the flesh, potato after the strip, the things of the spirit.
Course, we kindly like to the debt, but to be sure that the money is like something because the kind of time, because the kind of mind to stand with against God, what is not subject to the law of God. Matter indeed can be not as narrow. So then there are in the flesh cannot please call put that in the word of God comes in, which changes to the cost around a bit, though.
But we are not in the fish.
But we are not in this life, but in the soul, and the soul of the Spirit of God, friends in you.
Know as any man I'm not, the Spirit of Christ is one of the other Christ for you before he was dead because.
But obvious data? Prosperity. Life because of consciousness. What we got that little word? What kind of what is the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead? You having you He that?
Leader have made-up Christ from the dead. Shall I just quicken you your Martin bodies by his spirit as well as in you. Therefore we are better not to the flesh.
You live after the fact. You shall die for the victims of strength, remorse, and the nature of the body. You shall live for as many as are led by the Spirit of God. They are the sons of God.
01:10:02
Who they got not to see the script of bond that we gave to fear, but you have received the strength of adoption, whereby whereby the guy had the Father, the Spirit is self, and witness with our spirit.
We're amongst the churches that we are not the children, soul and the children then.
Heirs the Christ, and so be not to suffer with him, we may also glorify together. For I reckon that the something of this stress tower are not further to be compelled with the joy of children to review the earth.
Has been quite a lot, thanks to God. Well, I'm sure it brings the Holy Spirit by the believers that two precious strollers.
Pleasure is spirit.
Other places you are not in the fact it's so beautiful.
This is the precious Your Saints are called to know that God you have a budget and not sincere to try to patch up the old castle nature. It's no good.
The Lord you all, the Bible and the Lord Jesus came from our very purpose made on his precious life That is precious love wash honors into We were far from united. The new scandal now before call, but new creatures in Christ Jesus.
If you go on to the 12Th verse, it shows that there's nothing of a selfish thought about the exercise that the one passes through that's mentioned in the 11Th versus taking for the president.
So he looks.
Beyond himself. Wherefore, lift up the hands which hang down on the people knees. Oh, if we get discouraged, we take the hands of the Lord. Thank you, and we rebuke to the Lord. We're not only hindering or hindering our own soul, but we're hindering the blessings of others. And that's it. Always be something.
Definitely before us, No one living to himself and no one dies to himself. We all affect the lives of others. And the Christian who is most used of God cursed on the blessing for his presence is one who is really going happy in his soul with the Lord. It may have required chastening and thoughts to break his will and purify his affection so that Christ has become.
Near and dear to his soul.
But then.
The fellow wearing the hang hand hang down, and only being a discouragement to the people of God, well, here is the here's what the Papa says Where? Wherefore Lift up the hands, hang down, and the people knees.
And made straight paths for your feet left up, which is length be turned out the way, but let it rather be healed.
As always, the lean with ones that are easily turned aside, you have to tenderly consider such that we might be the means of tumbling others. They were worse off than the red they were made, but this one just had feeble limbs.
This is recorded 35, isn't it?
Three expecting people. We can confirm that people need this is where.
Israel was being physically restored. It's after their failure and that all they passed through here. They're being encouraged frequently that we can. We find out in our chapter that there could be Facebook, a witness or whatever it may be. But they have to be discovered by others. We have to seek to encourage one another. Thank you, another one, another and the first.
We can see before each other.
And then even a wider field, and that follow peace with all men.
And more in this, without which no man shall see the Lord.
As much as life in you there peaceably with all men.
01:15:03
That is, that is not only to be in the circle of the Lord's people, but it's to go up now to all the men is in italic. There is to all, however, the saved and unsafe.
Or just the and we are we. If we are unhappy Christians, we certainly are going to be discarded to somebody else like the lock, at least like now, Mike, he said to her two daughters and all. You stay here and the Lord will will bless you here. Why her life was saying that. Don't come back with me. Probably late. Let the hands hang down.
This is the testimony that we're going to have for the unsaved. You aren't good. We're going to say, well, I don't find anything, any happiness in Christianity. There's no use being Christian. So how the act effects not only the levers, but was it to all? What about when he was told and he said that they held up his candidacy? And if you think that said the force is here.
I would say 12 first and more of a sense of intercession for one. And the 13 verse, the factful walk now back from walks or dreams in our life to him and the other judges put it straight. So there's no nothing, no laces. Someone is weaker because we all know we watch one another and oftentimes when there's some divisions just because of a denial of a brother, perhaps a very gifted brother in all that.
Perhaps one would be the reason of my salvation and that he's stumbled and hasn't corrected that, so it leads the week along with him taking this attractive practical walk away. But I think maybe perhaps I'm not wrong when brother corrects me. The 12 versus more intercession falling off before the Lords.
I haven't thought of that. That's nice.
I noticed in the Mars that says make even past year feet well somebody very weak and crippled they they pathway isn't even that they're falling they're going to stumble very easily. So we should take those stumbling blocks out of the way.
And the rule is called #13 There in the race you're not running alone.
Say that beginning of the chapter we're running along, we're 13. We're not running alone at the rate the effect of it.
Like that brother already quoted himself.
About 15 verses. Very serious warnings and look. Looking diligently. Not look diligently, but looking. It's imperfect. It keeps on looking diligently.
Lest any man.
Fail. Call from the grace of God.
All grace, but we have to look diligently that we don't fall from that grace and to think that somebody fails while we count on find Paul, well it's all grace that has.
Of God brought to this place of favor, so we're diligently with it that we don't fall on my grace now. Then the next step down will be left any root of bitterness.
Springing up.
Trouble O'Sullivan there troubles everybody. So that root of bitterness, you can't see the roots. But we might have, we might be holding roots that are not seen outwardly and we're voting and they will trouble, they'll trouble our spots and we're in trouble as all the revenue.
01:20:02
And all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil, speaking, recovering from him.
I think that's a good statement.
Yeah, I think that's taking my brother married.
The word as well.
Season end of the season four, I think.
No matter how.
Faithful we must be, and sometimes they are and they have to be, faithful even there are times when we have to avoid another. But no matter how important it is, or think, standing facing us to the Lord, we should never allow any bitterness in our hearts towards them at once.
Because they spent 18 near Patrick, 18, in the Academy.
This is grace for me.
Father glory not beyond all thoughts. Glory.
Taking their.
