00:16 Hello, and welcome to His Words are Life
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank you for joining with me today 00:21 to read the word of God. Before we start, let's pray together. 00:24 Dear God, thank you so much for the word that you have placed 00:30 into our lives to bear fruit. May we not just hear the words 00:35 that will be read today, but may they go deep into our heart 00:39 by the power of your Holy Spirit and may the lives that we live 00:44 be changed by what we're going to hear this time together. 00:48 May we be more usable by you because of it. 00:52 We love you so much and thank you for loving us. Amen 00:55 When we were last together we were reading 00:58 in the book of Deuteronomy. Moses has gathered 01:00 the children of Israel together and he's recounting with them 01:03 God's leading, from the land of Egypt where they were slaves 01:08 to the land of promise. Moses says to them, I'm putting before 01:11 you, this day, a blessing and a curse. And he's laying out 01:14 for them the blessing that will be theirs if they would hear 01:17 and do the word of the Lord, and a terrible curse that will 01:20 be in their lives if they reject the word of the Lord. 01:23 We're picking up now in Deuteronomy chapter 13. 01:26 This is the King James Version. If there arise among you 01:30 a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign 01:35 or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he 01:38 spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, 01:42 which thou has not known, and let us serve them; 01:45 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, 01:48 or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, 01:52 to know whether you love the Lord your God 01:55 with all your heart and with all your soul. 01:57 Ye shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, 02:00 and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, 02:03 and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. 02:05 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, 02:08 shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away 02:12 from the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land 02:15 of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, 02:18 to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded 02:21 thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst 02:26 of thee. If thy brother, the son of the mother, or thy son, 02:31 or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, 02:34 which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, 02:39 Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, 02:42 thou, nor thy fathers; namely, of the gods of the people which 02:46 are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, 02:49 from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of 02:52 the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, 02:55 nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, 02:59 neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him; 03:04 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first 03:09 upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all 03:11 the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; 03:15 because he hath sought to thrust the away from the Lord thy God, 03:20 which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house 03:23 of bondage. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, 03:28 and shall do no more any such wickedness as this among is you. 03:33 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the Lord 03:37 thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, Certain men, 03:41 the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have 03:44 withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go 03:48 and serve other gods, which ye have not known; Then shalt thou 03:52 inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and behold, 03:57 if it be truth, and the thing is certain, that such abomination 04:01 is wrought among you; Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants 04:05 of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly 04:08 and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge 04:13 of the sword. And shalt gather all the spoil of it into the 04:17 midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, 04:20 and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the Lord thy God: 04:23 and it shall be an heap forever; it shall not be built again. 04:28 And there shall cleave naught of the cursed thing 04:31 to thine hand: that the Lord may turn from the fierceness 04:34 of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion 04:38 upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn 04:41 unto thy fathers; When thou shalt hearken to the voice 04:45 of the Lord thy God, to keep all his commandments 04:49 which I command thee this day, to do that which is right 04:52 in the eyes of the Lord thy God. 04:54 We're continuing now with Deuteronomy, chapter 14, 04:58 and this is the King James Version. 05:00 Ye are the children of the Lord your God: ye shall not cut 05:05 yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes 05:08 for the dead. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord 05:11 thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar 05:14 people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon 05:18 the earth. Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. 05:21 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, 05:26 and the goat, the hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, 05:30 and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox 05:32 and the chamois. And every beast that parteth the hoof, 05:36 and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud 05:39 among the beasts, that ye shall eat. Nevertheless these ye shall 05:45 not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the 05:48 cloven hoof, as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: 05:51 for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; 05:54 therefore they are unclean unto you. And the swine, because it 05:59 divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto 06:04 you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, 06:06 nor touch their dead carcase. These ye shall eat of all 06:10 that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales 06:13 shall ye eat: and whatsoever hath not fins and scales 06:17 ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you. 06:20 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. But these are they of which 06:25 ye shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey, 06:30 and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, 06:34 and every raven after his kind and the owl, and the night hawk, 06:38 and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, the little owl, 06:42 and the great owl, and the swan and the pelican, and the gier 06:46 eagle and the cormorant, and the stork, and the heron, 06:49 after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 06:52 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: 06:56 they shall not be eaten. But of all clean fowls ye may eat. 07:00 Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: 07:04 thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, 07:08 that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: 07:12 for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God. 07:15 Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 07:20 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, 07:23 that the field bringeth forth year by year. 07:26 And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, in the place which 07:30 he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe 07:33 of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings 07:37 of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear 07:41 the Lord thy God always. And if the way be too long for thee, 07:46 so that not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from 07:50 thee, which the Lord thy God shall choose to set his name 07:53 there, when the Lord thy God hath blessed thee: 07:55 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money 08:00 in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord 08:02 thy God shall choose: And thou shalt bestow that money 08:05 for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, 08:09 or for wine, or for strong drink or for whatsoever thy soul 08:13 desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, 08:16 and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine household, 08:19 And the Levite that is within thy gates; 08:22 thou shalt no forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance 08:25 with thee. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all 08:29 the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up 08:32 within thy gates: and the Levite, (because he hath no part 08:36 nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, 08:38 and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within 08:41 thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; 08:44 that the Lord thy God may bless thee 08:47 in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. 08:51 We're continuing now in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 15 08:55 And this is the King James Version. 08:57 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. 09:03 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor 09:07 that lendeth aught unto his neighbor shall release it; 09:10 he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; 09:14 because it is called the Lord's release. Of a foreigner 09:19 thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine 09:22 with thy brother, thine hand shall release; 09:24 save when there shall be no poor among you; 09:27 for the Lord shall greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord 09:30 thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it: 09:33 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord 09:38 thy God, to observe to do all these commandments 09:41 which I command thee this day. For the Lord thy God blesseth 09:45 thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many 09:49 nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign 09:52 over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 09:55 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within 09:59 any of thy gates, in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth 10:03 thee, Thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand 10:07 from thy poor brother: But thou shalt open thine hand wide 10:11 unto him and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, 10:14 in that which he wanteth. Beware that there be not a thought 10:20 in thy wicked heart, saying, The 7th year, the year of release, 10:24 is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, 10:27 and thou givest him naught; and he cry unto the Lord 10:31 against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10:33 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved 10:37 when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing 10:41 the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, 10:44 and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 10:47 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I 10:51 command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy 10:55 brother, to thy poor, and unto thy needy, 10:57 in thy land. And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, 11:01 or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee 11:04 six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free 11:08 from thee. And when thou sendest him out free from thee, 11:11 thou shalt not let him go away empty: Thou shalt furnish him 11:14 liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, 11:17 and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the Lord thy God 11:20 hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. 11:23 and thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land 11:27 of Egypt, and the Lord thy God redeemed thee: therefore 11:31 I command thee this thing today. And it shall be, if he say unto 11:36 thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee 11:40 and thine house, because he is well with thee; 11:42 Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear 11:46 unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. 11:49 And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise. 11:53 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him 11:57 away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double 11:59 hired servant to thee in serving thee six years; 12:02 and the Lord thy God shall bless thee 12:05 in all that thou doest. All the firstling males that come 12:10 of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify 12:13 unto the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work 12:16 with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling 12:19 of thy sheep. Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God 12:23 year by year in the place which the Lord shall choose, 12:26 thou and thy household. And if there be any blemish therein 12:30 as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, 12:33 thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God. 12:36 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean 12:39 person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart. 12:43 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; 12:45 thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water. 12:48 We're continuing in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 16. 12:52 This is the King James Version. Observe the month of Abib, 12:57 and keep the Passover unto the Lord thy God: for in the month 13:00 of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night 13:04 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the Passover unto the Lord 13:07 thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place 13:10 which the Lord shall choose to place his name there. 13:12 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt 13:16 thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread 13:19 of affliction: for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt 13:23 in haste: that thou mayest remember the day 13:25 when thou camest forth out of the Land of Egypt all the days 13:29 of thy life. And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee 13:33 in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there anything of 13:38 the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day 13:41 at even, remain all night until the morning. 13:44 Thou mayest not sacrifice the Passover within any of thy gates 13:48 which the Lord thy God giveth thee: But at the place 13:51 which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name in, 13:54 there thou shalt sacrifice the Passover at even, 13:57 at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest 14:01 forth out of Egypt. And thou shalt roast and eat it 14:04 in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose: 14:06 and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents. 14:10 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: 14:13 and on the 7th day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord 14:17 thy god: thou shalt do no work therein. 14:20 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number 14:25 the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put 14:27 the sickle to the corn. Thank you for being with me 14:31 today. Please join me again next time to read the word of God 14:34 together. |
