EYES of the LORD

 Job 31:4

4 Doth not he see my ways, 

and count all my steps?

Does GOD really see EVERYTHING?

What does He look for?

What does He check out?

What does Scripture say?

and Noah walked with God.

11 But the land, 

whither ye go to possess it, 

is a land of hills and valleys,

the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, 

from the beginning of the year 

even unto the end of the year.

1 Samuel 16:7

King James Version

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, 

Look not on his countenance,

because I have refused him: 

for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; 

for man looketh on the outward appearance, 

but the Lord looketh on the heart.

2 Chronicles 16:9

King James Version

9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro

whose heart is perfect toward him. 

Herein thou hast done foolishly: 

therefore from henceforth 

thou shalt have wars.

Job 33:27-28

King James Version

27 He looketh upon men, 

and if any say, I have sinned, 

and perverted that which was right, 

and it profited me not;

28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, 

and his life shall see the light.

Job 34:21-22

3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, 

and art acquainted with all my ways.

which run to and fro 

through the whole earth.

that is not manifest in his sight: 

but all things are naked and opened 

unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts,

having seven horns and seven eyes, 

which are the seven Spirits of God 

sent forth into all the earth.

MIRACLE in itself

 

Matthew 17:20

King James Version

20 And Jesus said unto them, 

Because of your unbelief: 

for verily I say unto you, 

If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, 

ye shall say unto this mountain, 

Remove hence to yonder place; 

and it shall remove; 

and nothing shall be impossible 

unto you.

It's a MIRACLE in itself.

That I understand the Bible at all.

Much less write about it.

And piece the books, chapters, and verses together.

Weaving from the material given.

With SPIRIT creating a system for me.

I attribute this miracle to the TRIUNE GOD:

-- To GOD, Who saved me.

-- To JESUS, Who taught me GOD's laws.

-- To SPIRIT, Who guides me through Scripture.

I used to be really intimidated by the Bible.

As a kid, schools gave us Gideon Bibles to study.

I never really got to do that.

Though we'd be given stories, and verses by the Catholic nuns.

I am grateful for that foundation.

As a grownup, I'd merely stare at the Bibles in the bookstores.

Not quite knowing where to begin.

I was reading most everything, EXCEPT the Bible.

But when GOD made me born again, I took to the Bible as a fish to water.

We were made for each other.

I swam effortlessly.

Happily.

Gloriously.

Endlessly.

GOD was my AIR.

I lived, and breathed, through Him.

I was blowing bubbles of joy!

GOD was that VAST OCEAN I swam in.

Happy to be home, at last!

GOD made Scripture easy for me to understand.

Through His SPIRIT's guidance, I have a joyous time studying.

The LORD knew I had been searching so long.

Looking for that ULTIMATE, ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

Which happened to be Him.

When I surrendered all my sins, He knew I was ready to read His BOOK.

Ready to take the journey He had planned for me, all along.

Ready to read that wonderful, glorious, astounding book of His LIFE.

And He sent His SPIRIT, that I may understand easily, and happily.

For when you understand, you become happy.

And you can't wait to share with others your discoveries.

That's why there's no stopping our blogs.

I have ALWAYS loved the written word.

I had no idea GOD's LIVING WORD would change my life.

Beautifully, and completely.

There is nothing like comprehending the Bible.

And knowing that the ONLY POWER is GOD.

If you don't know the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I invite you to do these things:

-- PRAY to GOD.

-- OPEN your heart to Him.

-- APPROACH Him, as a child would.

-- SPEAK to Him in your own way.

-- BE willing to wait for His answers.

This is a personal relationship between you, and GOD.

No one else's business, but yours.

For myself, I would always pray to Him, as a child would:

Knowing nothing, but

wanting to know 

EVERYTHING.

And He would laugh at that hungry, little heart of mine!

Watch what happens next, soon as you pray to GOD!

GOD will always show up at His own PERFECT time.

At the time you need Him the most!

You being humbled, and feeling forsaken, that's when GOD's closest.

He will show up, in a manner perfectly attuned to His child.

Which you are.

That's what makes our journeys exciting.

We never know what GOD has in store for us.

But how can you know, UNLESS you ASK Him?

Say YES to GOD now!

SEA of GALILEE

 

Matthew 4:13-15

King James Version

13 And leaving Nazareth, 

he came and dwelt in Capernaum, 

which is upon the sea coast, 

in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

14 That it might be fulfilled 

which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, 

by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, 

Galilee of the Gentiles;

It's been quite a journey the past couple of days.

This being the third.

We've been mighty busy writing a series of articles.

On the death, burial, and Resurrection of JESUS.

This article you're reading now is the SEVENTH in that series:

After JESUS died

The HIGH PRIEST's burial

When JESUS resurrected

JESUS appears before His disciples

JESUS instructs His APOSTLES

MEAL at GALILEE

After that last article, I knew this article had to be written.

For SPIRIT made me notice something.

All because I was searching for that verse on the "sons of Zebedee".

Which led me to these verses:

Matthew 4:18-22

King James Version

18 And Jesus, 

walking by the sea of Galilee, 

saw two brethren, 

Simon called Peter, 

and Andrew his brother, 

casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

19 And he saith unto them, 

Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20 And they straightway left their nets, 

and followed him.

21 And going on from thence, 

he saw other two brethren, 

James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, 

in a ship with Zebedee their father, 

mending their nets; and he called them.

22 And they immediately left the ship 

and their father, and followed him.

That's when SPIRIT made me realize where it all began.

And where it all ended, at least on earth.

By the Sea of Galilee.

Where JESUS started His ministry.

Matthew 4:23-25

King James Version

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, 

teaching in their synagogues, 

and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, 

and healing all manner of sickness 

and all manner of disease among the people.

24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: 

and they brought unto him all sick people 

that were taken with divers diseases and torments, 

and those which were possessed with devils, 

and those which were lunatick, 

and those that had the palsy; 

and he healed them.

25 And there followed him 

great multitudes of people from Galilee, 

and from Decapolis, 

and from Jerusalem, 

and from Judaea, 

and from beyond Jordan.

And where JESUS shared His last earthly meal with His apostles.

John 21:1-4

King James Version

21 After these things Jesus shewed himself again 

to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; 

and on this wise shewed he himself.

2 There were together Simon Peter, 

and Thomas called Didymus, 

and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, 

and the sons of Zebedee, 

and two other of his disciples.

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. 

They say unto him, We also go with thee. 

They went forth, 

and entered into a ship immediately; 

and that night they caught nothing.

4 But when the morning was now come, 

Jesus stood on the shore: 

but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

We learn the Sea of Galilee is also called:

"Sea of Chinnereth"

"Lake of Gennesareth"

"Sea of Tiberias"

John 6:1-2

King James Version

6 After these things 

Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, 

which is the sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great multitude followed him, 

because they saw his miracles 

which he did on them that were diseased.

The Sea of Galilee is special.

It is witness to the LORD's ministry.

The calling of His apostles.

The miracles, and healings.

The teachings.

The last instructions to Peter.

Which He repeated THREE times:

John 21:15

King James Version

15 So when they had dined, 

Jesus saith to Simon Peter, 

Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? 

He saith unto him, Yea, Lord;

 thou knowest that I love thee. 

He saith unto him, 

Feed my lambs.

John 21:16

King James Version

16 He saith to him again the second time, 

Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? 

He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; 

thou knowest that I love thee. 

He saith unto him, 

Feed my sheep.

John 21:17

King James Version

17 He saith unto him the third time, 

Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? 

Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, 

Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, 

Lord, thou knowest all things; 

thou knowest that I love thee. 

Jesus saith unto him, 

Feed my sheep.

We are those lambs.

We are that sheep.

JESUS was with His apostles.

Until He was taken up to heaven.

Acts 1:6-11

King James Version

6 When they therefore were come together, 

they asked of him, saying, 

Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again 

the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, 

It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, 

which the Father hath put in his own power.

8 But ye shall receive power, 

after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: 

and ye shall be witnesses unto me 

both in Jerusalem, 

and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, 

and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

9 And when he had spoken these things, 

while they beheld, he was taken up; 

and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven 

as he went up, 

behold, 

two men stood by them in white apparel;

11 Which also said, 

Ye men of Galilee, 

why stand ye gazing up into heaven? 

this same Jesus, 

which is taken up from you into heaven, 

shall so come in like manner 

as ye have seen him go into heaven.

The TRIUNE GOD

 

Proverbs 25:2

King James Version

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: 

but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

How much do you know about GOD?

Do you believe in Him at all?

I believe in GOD.

I'm not Catholic now, but I'm grateful for what they taught me.

Without which, I'd have no idea Who GOD is at all.

It has been my spiritual foundation.

The nuns taught us about GOD.

That there's the "Holy Trinity":

GOD the Father, 

GOD the Son, and 

GOD the Holy Spirit.

What Christians also call the "TRIUNE GOD" or "GODHEAD".

"Triune" because GOD has THREE persons.

I didn't ask questions then, because we all took it for granted.

It was only when GOD made me born again in 2019 that things became clear.

For He led me to JESUS.

He made me search Scripture.

He sent His SPIRIT to make Scripture clear for me.

And how crystal clear His WORD became!

It has since become my foundation for all our SPIRIT-led blogs.

Now, I'm able to piece the "puzzle" together.

Not that it was vague, just not clearly explained by others.

It takes anointing from the SPIRIT, that we may understand.

Bear note that even a child could understand these.

My childlike heart always sought simplicity.

And in JESUS is simplicity.

2 Corinthians 11:3

King James Version

3 But I fear, lest by any means, 

as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, 

so your minds should be corrupted 

from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Now, here's what I've come to know.

Through guidance from SPIRIT.

Starting with THREE basic things:

GOD, the Father, created everything.

Genesis 1:1

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven 

and the earth.

GOD the Son, JESUS, was sent by the Father.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT, was sent by JESUS.

John 16:7

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

This we know to be GOD's love, mercy, and compassion.

That He did not leave us orphaned, when His Son, JESUS, had to go back to Him.

They left us with Their SPIRIT, for these reasons which JESUS enumerated:

John 16:8-11

King James Version

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because 

the prince of this world is judged.

John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

John 16:14-15

King James Version

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

You will also want to know something.

That we were created in the TRIUNE GOD's image, and likeness:

Genesis 1:26-27

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing 

that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.

The whole objective of this exercise?

That we may know GOD's LOVE for us.

There was no gap in His loving, giving, and saving.

There was a beautiful continuity to GOD's GLORY.

He always sent Himself, in another Person.

That all of us may be saved.

Saved from what?

Saved from sin.

Saved from Satan.

Saved from self.

How did I come to know all these things?

By being born again.

By being taught by SPIRIT.

By loving GOD with all my heart.

By seeking ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

By praying to JESUS, each time I had a question.

By listening to His SPIRIT, for answers.

By searching Scripture all the time.

By writing about GOD all the time.

By wanting to share with you my many discoveries.

By being grateful for everything.

By being true to GOD.

Jeremiah 29:13

King James Version

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, 

when ye shall search for me 

with all your heart.

2 Timothy 2:15

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 

rightly dividing the word of truth.

Hebrews 11:6

King James Version

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: 

for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, 

and that he is a rewarder of them 

that diligently seek him.

The Bible has 66 books.

I need all the help I can get.

SPIRIT does that.

Which SPIRIT is in you?

 

1 John 4:1

King James Version

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, 

but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

because many false prophets 

are gone out into the world. 

How do you know which spirit is in you?

How can you tell if it's the SPIRIT of GOD?

How can you tell if it's NOT of GOD?

How can you differentiate the "spirit of truth", from the "spirit of error"?

Never again will you doubt which spirit is in you.

Scripture makes it plain.

That which is of GOD:

Isaiah 55:8-9

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 

neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 

so are my ways higher than your ways, 

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

John 3:1-2

King James Version

3 There was a man of the Pharisees, 

named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, 

and said unto him, 

Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher 

come from God: 

for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, 

except God be with him.

John 3:3-8

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man 

pluck them out of my hand.

John 14:16-17

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

John 16:7

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, the Comforter 

will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

John 16:8-11

King James Version

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world 

is judged

John 16:13-15

King James Version

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

old things are passed away;

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

1 John 4:2

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: 

Every spirit that confesseth 

that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

1 John 4:4

King James Version

4 Ye are of God, little children, 

and have overcome them: 

because greater is he that is in you, 

than he that is in the world.

1 John 4:6

King James Version

6 We are of God:

that the Father sent the Son 

to be the Saviour of the world.

1 John 4:15

King James Version

God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

1 John 4:16

16 And we have known and believed 

the love that God hath to us. 

God is love; 

and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, 

and God in him.

1 John 4:17

King James Version

17 Herein is our love made perfect, 

that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: 

because as he is, so are we in this world.

1 John 4:18

King James Version

18 There is no fear in love; 

but perfect love casteth out fear: 

because fear hath torment. 

He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:19

King James Version

19 We love him, 

because he first loved us.

That which is NOT of GOD:

Jeremiah 17:9

King James Version

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, 

and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Mark 3:28-30

King James Version

28 Verily I say unto you, 

All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, 

and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29 But he that shall blaspheme 

against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, 

but is in danger of eternal damnation.

30 Because they said, 

He hath an unclean spirit.

is abomination in the sight of God.

John 8:44

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil,

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John 8:45

King James Version

45 And because I tell you the truth, 

ye believe me not.

1 Corinthians 3:19

King James Version

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 

For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

Ephesians 2:2

King James Version

2 Wherein in time past 

ye walked according to the course of this world, 

according to the prince of the power of the air, 

the spirit that now worketh 

in the children of disobedience:

Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:7

King James Version

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: 

only he who now letteth will let, 

until he be taken out of the way.

1 Timothy 4:1-3

King James Version

4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, 

that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, 

giving heed to seducing spirits, 

and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; 

having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, 

and commanding to abstain from meats, 

which God hath created to be received 

with thanksgiving of them which believe 

and know the truth.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, 

that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, 

trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, 

fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.

Hebrews 3:10-11

King James Version

10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation,

They do alway err in their heart; 

and they have not known my ways.

11 So I sware in my wrath, 

They shall not enter into my rest.)

Hebrews 3:12

King James Version

12 Take heed, brethren, 

lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, 

in departing from the living God.

James 4:1-3

King James Version

4 From whence come wars and fightings among you? 

come they not hence, 

even of your lusts that war in your members?

2 Ye lust, and have not: 

ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: 

ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, 

that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

1 John 4:3

King James Version

3 And every spirit that confesseth not 

that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: 

and this is that spirit of antichrist, 

whereof ye have heard that it should come; 

and even now already is it in the world.

1 John 4:5

King James Version

5 They are of the world: 

therefore speak they of the world, 

and the world heareth them.

1 John 4:6

he that is not of God heareth not us. 

Hereby know we the spirit of truth, 

and the spirit of error.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; 

for God is love.

1 John 4:18

but perfect love casteth out fear: 

because fear hath torment. 

He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:20

King James Version

20 If a man say, I love God, 

and hateth his brother, he is a liar: 

for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, 

how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

1 John 5:19

King James Version

19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Revelation 21:27

King James Version

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it

 any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.

Now you can tell spirits apart.

Which one would you rather live in you?

Which one influences you?

Don't mess around with "spirits".

We'd rather you have the SPIRIT of GOD in you.

And so would you.

Matthew 6:24

King James Version

24 No man can serve two masters: 

for either he will hate the one, and love the other; 

or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. 

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

John 14:1-3

King James Version

14 Let not your heart be troubled: 

ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: 

if it were not so, I would have told you. 

I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, 

I will come again, and receive you unto myself; 

that where I am, there ye may be also.

and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; 

and my reward is with me, 

to give every man 

according as his work shall be.

To know more about JESUS, and Satan, you need to read their discourse.
