Nourishment For The Soul:

John 6:22-35 KJV

22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto His disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples were gone away alone;

23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that The Lord had given thanks:)

24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

25 And when they had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

27 Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which The Son Of Man shall give unto you: for Him hath God The Father sealed.

28 Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.

30 They said therefore unto Him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but My Father giveth you The True Bread from Heaven.

33 For The Bread Of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

34 Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this Bread.

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am The Bread Of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.

Spiritual Food:

Isaiah 55:1-3 KJV

1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3 Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Matthew 4:4 KJV

But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 5:6 KJV

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

John 4:12-14 KJV

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

John 4:31-34 KJV

31 In the mean while His disciples prayed Him, saying, Master, eat.

32 But He said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought Him ought to eat?

34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.

John 6:51,63 KJV

51 I am The Living Bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever: and The Bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

63 It is The Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are Life.

I Corinthians 10:1-4 NLT

1 I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground.

2 In the cloud and in the sea, all of them were baptized as followers of Moses.

3 All of them ate the same spiritual food,

4 and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that traveled with them, and that Rock was Christ.

I Peter 2:2 NLT

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment.

Prayer:

Revelation 2:7,17 KJV

7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what The Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of The Tree Of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what The Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that over cometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display His craftsmanship.

Proverbs 8:17 KJV

I love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me.

Isaiah 43:9-11 KJV

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is Truth.

10 Ye are My witnesses, saith The Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.

11 I, even I, am The Lord; and beside Me there is no Savior.

Jeremiah 29:13 KJV

And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.

Hosea 3:4,5 NLT

4 This shows that Israel will go a long time without a king or prince, and without sacrifices, sacred pillars, priests, or even idols!

5 But afterward the people will return and devote themselves to The Lord their God and to David’s descendant, their king. In the last days, they will tremble in awe of The Lord and of His goodness.

John 1:14,18 NLT

14 So The Word became human and made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of The Father’s One And Only Son.

18 No one has ever seen God. But The Unique One, who is Himself God, is near to The Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.

John 8:47 NLT

Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to The Words Of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”

John 14:8-14 NLT

8 Philip said, “Lord, show us The Father, and we will be satisfied.”

9 Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen Me has seen The Father! So why are you asking Me to show Him to you?

10 Don’t you believe that I am in The Father and The Father is in Me? The words I speak are not My own, but My Father who lives in Me does His work through Me.

11 Just believe that I am in The Father and The Father is in Me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen Me do.

12 “I tell you The Truth, anyone who believes in Me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with The Father.

13 You can ask for anything in My name, and I will do it, so that The Son can bring glory to The Father.

14 Yes, ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it!

John 20:28-31 NLT

28 “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed.

29 Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen Me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing Me.”

30 The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book.

31 But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is The Messiah, The Son Of God, and that by believing in Him you will have life by the power of His name.

Romans 1:19,20 KJV

19 They know The Truth about God because He has made it obvious to them.

20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

Prayer:

I Corinthians 13:12 KJV

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

“Pastor, we know we are to confess sin, but what does the bible mean, secret sin?...”

Sheila/ England, United Kingdom

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Sins we wouldn't mention, to our husband or wife, or best friend. Sins we tell our selves, even God doesn't know.

Matthew 15:19 KJV

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

II Kings 17:9 NLT

The people of Israel had also secretly done many things that were not pleasing to The Lord their God. They built pagan shrines for themselves in all their towns, from the smallest outpost to the largest walled city.

Psalm 19:12 KJV

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Psalm 90:8 KJV

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

Then said He unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not; The Lord hath forsaken the earth.

Ephesians 5:11,12 KJV

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

Let's call “Secret Sins,” what they really are, they are...

Works Of Darkness.

Job 24:13-17 NLT

13 “Wicked people rebel against The Light. They refuse to acknowledge its ways or stay in its paths.

14 The murderer rises in the early dawn to kill the poor and needy at night he is a thief.

15 The adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No one will see me then.’ He hides his face so no one will know him.

16 Thieves break into houses at night and sleep in the daytime. They are not acquainted with The Light.

17 The black night is their morning. They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness.

Proverbs 7:8,9 KJV

8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:

John 3:20 KJV

For every one that doeth evil hateth The Light, neither cometh to The Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Romans 13:12 KJV

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of Light.

Ephesians 5:11 KJV

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

I Thessalonians 5:7 KJV

For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

Prayer:

God knows our thoughts...

Job 21:27 KJV

Behold, I know your thoughts..."

Psalm 94:11 KJV

The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Luke 6:8 KJV

But He knew their thoughts..."

Luke 11:17 KJV

But He, knowing their thoughts..."

1 Corinthians 3:20 KJV

Why all the unrest, and turmoil? The Word tells us...

Isaiah 48:22 KJV

There is no peace, saith The Lord, unto the wicked.

Isaiah 57:19,20 KJV

20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Isaiah 59:8 KJV

The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Ezekiel 7:25 KJV

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.

Ezekiel 13:10 NLT

“This will happen because these evil prophets deceive My people by saying, ‘All is peaceful’ when there is no peace at all! It’s as if the people have built a flimsy wall, and these prophets are trying to reinforce it by covering it with whitewash!

The Remedy For Unrest:

29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Hebrews 4:3 NLT

For only we who believe can enter His rest. As for the others, God said,“In My anger I took an oath:‘They will never enter My place of rest,’” even though this rest has been ready since He made the world.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in The Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith The Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.

The Fate Of The Wicked:

Revelation 14:11 KJV

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Prayer:

James 1:17 KJV

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from The Father Of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Bible Lesson: Messianic Prophecies, Fulfilled, In Jesus Christ. Born Of A Virgin.

Bible Text:

Prophecy:

Isaiah 7:14 KJV B.C. 742

Therefore The Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear A Son, and shall call His name Emmanuel.

Fulfillment:

Matthew 1:18-25 KJV B.C. 5

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with Child of The Holy Ghost.

19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of The Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of The Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth A Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of The Lord by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth A Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God With Us.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of The Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn Son: and he called His name Jesus.

Luke 1:26,27,30-35 KJV

26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

27 To a virgin espoused (engaged) to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, The Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.

31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth A Son, and shalt call His name Jesus.

32 He shall be great, and shall be called The Son Of The Highest: and The Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:

33 And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.

34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and The Power Of The Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called The Son Of God.

Prayer:

Joshua 23:14 KJV

And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which The Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

II Corinthians 1:20 NLT

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for His glory.

The Lord:

Numbers 24:17 KJV

I shall see Him, but not now: I shall behold Him, but not nigh: there shall come A Star out of Jacob, and A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

II Peter 1:19 KJV

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; where unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and The Day Star arise in your hearts:

Revelation 22:16 KJV

I Jesus have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am The Root And The Offspring Of David, and The Bright And Morning Star.

God's People:

Daniel 12:1-3 KJV

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in The Book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Prayer:

I John 3:2 KJV

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.

Leviticus 20:6,7 NLT

6 “I will also turn against those who commit spiritual prostitution by putting their trust in mediums or in those who consult the spirits of the dead. I will cut them off from the community.

7 So set yourselves apart to be holy, for I am The Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 NLT

10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto The Lord: and because of these abominations The Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

I Chronicles 10:13,14 NLT

13 So Saul died because he was unfaithful to The Lord. He failed to obey The Lord’s command, and he even consulted a medium

14 instead of asking The Lord for guidance. So The Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.

Isaiah 8:19,20 NLT

19 Someone may say to you, “Let’s ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do.” But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead?

20 Look to God’s instructions and teachings! People who contradict His Word are completely in the dark.

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

I John 4:1-3 KJV

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye The Spirit O3f God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

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 anti Christ, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
