SEEING JESUS

LUKE 5:12:
"WHILE HE WAS IN ONE OF THE TOWNS, THERE CAME A MAN FULL OF LEPROSY. AND WHEN HE SAW JESUS, HE FELL ON HIS FACE AND IMPLORED HIM, SAYING, LORD, IF YOU ARE WILLING, YOU ARE ABLE TO CURE ME AND MAKE ME CLEAN."

Seeing Jesus is seeing the One Who is able to cure us. He can make you clean. The man with leprosy asked if He was willing to heal him and Jesus reached out and touched him.

Jesus' reply was; "I Am willing."

We are full of unclean things as well. Even the best of us who love Him are full of something that turns us off from being total with Him. I thought myself just dealing with things of no importants, but that is what seeing Jesus in His Word make me know that even the hair on my head matters to the Lord. Everything about us is important to Him and the Kingdom of God.

Let us remind ourselves to wait and find out what it is that matters to the Lord.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU HEAR

MARK 4:24:
"AND HE SAID TO THEM, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE HEARING. THE MEASURE [OF THOUGHT AND STUDY] YOU GIVE [TO THE TRUTH YOU HEAR] WILL BE THE MEASURE [OF VIRTURE AND KNOWLEDGE] THAT COMES BACK TO YOU--AND MORE [BESIDES] WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU WHO HEAR."

How great is it to know that what we hear is measured by the Lord in standard. He is saying to us then and is saying to us now, be careful what you are giving your ear to hear. It will be brought back to you in your understanding, and will be the quality of life that you will be living.

We have at our church, some workers for Jesus. These volunteers are the best that there is in the field of building churches. They go in and frame it up, do the inside and work as a teem in their campain. I shared with them about Mark 4:26-32; "The kingdom of God is liken to builders, which are seeds, these seeds are sown into the soil and as a mustard seed is small when it goes into the ground, is large when it comes up from the ground. But, it is still at work while we sleep and while we go on during the day and it is in stages that it all happens, our faith is the same way... Faith is believing in something that only can be in your imagination, then as you speak about it it grows stronger in your heart and the words from your heart comes out for the ears to hear and then it becomes what you first imagined it to be.

What Do Women Say

1 KINGS 8:6-20:
"TO THE ESPECIALLY HOLY PlACE, UNDER THE WINGS OF THE K'RUVIM. FOR THE K'RUVIM SPREAD OUT THEIR WINGS OVER THE PLACE FOR THE ARK, COVERING THE ARK AND ITS POLES FORM ABOVE. 17.) NOW IT WAS IN THE HEART OF DAVID MY FATHER TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR THE NAME OF ADONAI THE GOD OF ISRA'EL; BUT ADONAI SAID TO DAVID MY FATHER, ALTHOUGH IT WAS IN YOUR HEART TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR MY HOUSE FOR MY NAME, AND YOU DID WELL THAT IT WAS IN YOUR HEART, NEVERTHELESS YOU WILL NOT BUILD THE HOUSE. RATHER, YOU WILL FATHER A SON, AND IT WILL BE HE WHO WILL BUILD THE HOUSE FOR MY NAME."

Now, this part of "That Way" manual, will begin with the story of Solomon's or Shlomo in Hebrew, mother, Bat-Sheva, or Bath-Sheba in our terms. She had to go before David her husband who now is in old age, and is with a younger woman which his councel got for him to keep him warm. This will start there in 1King 1:11-31.

The Lord spoke to David that Solomon was to be king after David, David heard the Lord say that and told this to his wife Bath-Sheba, and she in turn told this to her son Solomon all his young life. When David became older and they got him another woman to comfort him, another son put himself up as the king to be. When Nathan the prophet got wind of it he went to Bath-Sheba, and told her and made plans to get this info to the king. Bath-Sheba, went in and made it known to him that another king was going in the place and did he remember what he said the Lord told him?

What do women say, does it hold up in the Court of God? When men forget what the Lord says? When is it right for women to speak? Does it mean we get mad? Does them being wrong constitute they may just be cause up in youth, or trying to recapture it?

Bath-Sheba, did she handle this with respect?
Will God commend her on That Day?
Did she do this "That Way," that God was proud?

Read the Story of her account, it is in 1 Kings 1:1-46; see for yourselve, and make note of this even if you are a man, single or married, and see if you as a woman, single or married, want to have that what you are accounted to have on your record in heaven coming out as well as it did for Bath-Sheba, or Bat-Sheva.
