Discuss Matthew 6 Page 4

Revelation 22:19, Deuteronomy 4:2,

I read my KJV Bible in parallel with modern translations and notice there are many omissions in the modern/ newer translations.

Any comments?

Psalm 8

There is a cross reference with Matthew 21:16 in verse 2 of this Psalm. This surely outwitted the wisdom of man with the Pharisees. This verse would seem to indicate that all children are in the Book of Life until the age of accountability; perhaps by default being in the book of all the living. Ezekiel 18:20 states that the soul who sins will die; and children will not bear blame for parents sins. We are all born into a sin nature; but not all living long enough to understand the meaning of it. Jesus also stated that "unless you are converted and come to me as a little children you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." This involves the following of those who are drawn (such as the immediate response of the first disciples when Christ said "follow me.") This involves TRUST for Christ to provide all needs; so we can realize that He who takes care of the birds of the air will take care of us ( Matthew 6:26).

The animals with the rest of God's creation are mentioned in verses 6-8 here; and man's dominion a little lower than angels (v. 5) yet ruling over the animals and the earth (v.6) gives him a special place.

There are many cares in this world; some of which we are responsible for such as elderly parents; wives/husbands and children. We are to provide for our needs by working. Ultimately; all things are for the Kingdom of God. It is interesting in light of the ministry Christ and the Apostles had through the 1st Century; and how they would preach the Gospel first; and whether lodging in a private house; through the dangers of the sea; or in a jail cell from time to time God preserved them. We see those such as in Phillipians 2:27 who almost worked themselves to death. Clearly; death was the normal end of their lives (except for John who they say survived being boiled in oil according to tradition). Such a focus on looking on Christ and not on this world; and dying to self surely is something to ponder in this nation today.

Matthew 6:33

Praying for you right now. Hope & future & every good thing from The Father above.

Put Him first and glorify Him. Thank Him for what you've asked Him for as if He has already done it and you're just waiting. In Jesus name. He wants to give you all these good gifts. Remember to use them for His glory!

Please consider reflecting 1 Timothy 6:6-10, 2 Timothy 2:1, 1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 6:33-34.

Hello, not sure of your motives or beliefs through your comment, but here are some verses for you.

John 4:24 - God is a spirit

John 1 - Jesus was the Word and the Word is God. He was there in the beginning and made everything (verse 3)

1 John 5:7

What I take out of this is God the Father is a spirit, God the Son is a spirit, the Holy Ghost is a spirit.

God the Son took on the flesh and was a man temporary. A vocal minority falsely assumes Jesus was a man first, but John 1:3 debunks that.

I believe human beings are also spirits. We are not our bodies, but just temporarily inhabit them. 1 Corinthians 15:44

Hello Aljenon,

My understanding of the oneness of the Godhead is that they all possess to the divine nature or essence equally and infinitely. The divine nature is not something that they can get from outside of their Being. It is innate in all three Persons and everlasting. This is just like the Godhead cannot get life from outside of themself due to being self-existent. Same is true of power and knowledge and all other aspects of this one divine essence. This essence cannot be added to nor subtracted from any of the Persons of the Godhead because God possesses this essence to perfection and total completion even though there are no bounds nor limits to the infiniteness of His Being.

I concur with S.Spencer that God's essential nature is that of Pure Spirit, not being made of any particles of matter. It is only Jesus who took upon Himself humanity and therefore, His human body consists of particles of matter, like all other humans. But He did not subtract His Divinity to become man. He kept it because it is Who He is as God. But we will see Him in His humanity forever in heaven, which is the perfect image of God in man.

I hope this helps. This is a big subject. I think of how Jesus said that He and the Father are one. And I also think of how all three Persons of the Godhead are named as God in Scripture in many places. I do no know of a Scripture that easily explains how these three distinct divine Persons are One. I think it is a divine mystery revealed through Jesus but not fully explained.

Hello Aljenon....In Isaiah 11 :1 ...Also the Davidic Kingdom was Jesse David and Solomon....They were all 3 related as Father Son and Granson.... Isaiah 11 :1....And Isaiah uses these 3 men as symbolic language for a Kingdom that is coming the last day when God will gather the remnant of his ppl... Isaiah 11:11....The rod that came out of Jesse was David the son and the branch that came out of David was Solomon the Granson....And God wd not let David the son build that great temple...God wd only allow Solomon the Granson to build the temple..... Isaiah is using this Father Son and Granson scenario to describe a kingdom coming in the last days that is gona judge this whole world in righteousness....And Jesus identifies with this Jesse David and Solomon Kingdom saying i am the root and the offspring of David...The bright and the morning star.. Rev 22:16 kjv

......And this Isaiah 11 was written approx. 250 yrs after that Jesse,..David and Solomon had long died....But Isaiah is still using these 3 men as symbolic language for a kingdom coming the last days....And this was a Father Son and Granson type of Kingdom coming in the last days.... Isaiah 11:11 kjv....Thus an Israel of God wd have to follow soon.

..... Isaiah 11:1...There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse which was David the son and a branch shall come out of his roots which was Solomon the Granson...ok lemme go

Hi Aljenon.

I accidentally sent that prematurely.

Hopefully someone can provide us a more detailed or better view of this. God bless.

Hi Aljenon.

I would say the spirit.

Ephesians 4:4-6. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24.

I CAME FORTH FROM THE FATHER, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. John 16:28.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER, he hath declared him. John 1:18.

God is spirit, Jesus came forth from that Spirit, and we are baptized by that spirit.

John 17:22-23. ppAnd the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Hello Aljenon....Its very easy to understand the God head....Its exactly like Abraham Issac and Jacob....The question is what made Abraham, Isaac and Jacob 1...It was their blood line....3 Distincts beings but the 1 singular FATHER OF Israel....Simply b/c they were all 3 RELATED as Father, Son and Granson....That were multiplied as the sands of the seas in multitudes....From the 12 tribes.

.......And the Heavenly Trinity is also Father ,Son and Granson....And they are all 3 related in the Spirit but 3 distinct beings....And out of the Kingdom will come 12 manner of fruit...Rev.22:2...Which answers to the 12 tribes in the spritual realm....Thus an Israel of God that is gonna be as the stars in Heaven in multitudes....The very fact that we have a father and a Son Begs the question of a Granson....And 12 manner of fruit from the KiNGDOM....An Israel of God that are Spirits that is gonna be born in humanity....I Will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh....Everybody is gona get a seed The Living word and is a living being the Children of Promise....Thats y Jesus was saying if i tell you of earthy things and you believe not how shall i tell you of heavenly things....Everything thing in the O.T. was just a shadow of things in the N.T.

......The H.G. the Granson cannot be born in us unless Jesus sows his good seed in us....Thats y Isaiah refers to Jesus as everlasting FATHER....Jesus is able and willing to propagate, and Regenerate himself in humanity via his seed ...Thats y he has to KNOW us....Thus there is a 3 rd PERSON THE H.G. the Granson...Jesus is not impotent he wants to sow his good seed in humanity....Thats y Jeremiah saw all men in travail and birth pains....There is a baby Christ in our future which is the H.G. That Child of PROMISE....Thats y Elijah has to come in that last day and turn the hearts of the FATHERS to the Children....The babes and sucklings he mentioned....That New Born Babe DESIRING THE SINCERE MILK OF WORD...is the H.G. THE CHILD of Promise...

The Godhead is three in one, the Father, the Son and the Holyghost, but what makes the three one

I listed scripture in hope you would read & the LORD through the HOLY Spirit would lead you. John 14:26, 1John 2:27, James 1:5,

There seems to be several ways to 'fast" before GOD. the most important seems to be, the Heart & actions of the individual or 'people' fasting. GOD points out to deal your bread to the hungry, keep it secret, pray for justice, & do Justice, act justly. It's not to be for self exalting Isaiah 58,

Sometimes people fast (most often) by not eating or drinking for a certain time. 1 meal, 'skipping a meal" 2Samuel 1:12, Judges 20:26,

Some eat regular meals but take things out that are enjoyable like sweet treats, rich meats. Like Daniel 1, Daniel 9,

Extreme fasts were Jesus & Moses. Please only fast what the HOLY Spirit leads you to. Not other's.

Sometimes it's very good to take all media, TV, phones, devices that distract, make noises ect even Christian radio away for a time to focus, be quiet & still before GOD, that's a way to humble yourself before GOD.

In the Bible many times they would rip their clothing throw dust on their heads. Joel 2:13, said don't, but rend your hearts, Matthew 6:16, Interestingly no account witnessed Jesus do that outward display, yet Jesus healed & delivered all who believed. Some people practice a life of types of fasting. Like Jesus, Paul, 2Corinthians 11:27, Matthew 17:21, Mark 9:29 Please read, pray, be still & quiet waiting on the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY while you dedicate time, other enjoyable things unto the LORD & study HIS WORD the Bible, also turn aside/away from things, displeasing to GOD, sin = repenting from or atleast trying & attempting to (if your fasting for your own deliverance) from things like addictions, habits etc..) abstain from wine etc.

that's what I recommend on how to "fast". Again I recommend the scriptures in previous reply.

Fasting is supernaturally amazing, it most definitely changes things, saves lives, delivers, defeats oppression, & enemies.

Hopefully this is helpful

Henry

Thank you for your thoughts.

I believe the Bible, every word.

You said,

"In reference to any temptation or provoking remember James 1:13

God can't be

Tempted neither tempts he any man."

I believe James 1:13.

I also believe my Lord when He taught us how to pray saying to our Heavenly Father,

And lead us not into temptation ( Luke 11:4) ( Matthew 6:13)

And when God told Moses He would harden Pharaoh's heart that Pharaoh would not let the children of Israel go( Exodus 10:27)

And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. ( Exodus 7:13)

The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart until the destroying angel came and killed all the first born of Egypt.

And the Lord did so to shew his power by Pharaoh. ( Romans 9:17)

Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. ( Romans 9:18)

Henry, why would our Lord tell us to pray to our Heavenly Father saying,

...and lead us not into temptation?

Why would the God of Isreal harden Pharaoh's heart until He destroyed all the first born of Egypt?

If the Lord does not tempt us, how did He harden Pharaoh's heart?

Do you see the contradictions?

Nevertheless, God will have mercy on whom he will have mercy and, whom he will he hardeneth.

Please God guide the surgeon hand on Alicia surgery that she will heal properly and propel her to be a testimony for Your purpose I ask in Jesus Christ name

Please consider reflecting on these scriptures: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, James 5:16, Matthew 6:33-34, 2 Timothy 2:1

Please God enriched Cindy with comfort, peace and prosperity that she will be a testimony in and through this adversity. Please Holy Spirit guide her in biblical scriptures of encouragement, peace and to keep her eye's focus on You, The Divine God head I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!!

Please consider reflecting on: Psalms 91, Matthew 6:33-34, Philippians 4:12-13, 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Psalms 55:22, Psalms 34 and Isaiah 41:10-13.

Thanks Brother Chris.

I love to look, listen, gather and learn as much as I love to engage.

Sometimes it's best to just say Amen when you can't improve a reply.

God bless.

Please Lord Jesus Christ enrich Lisa with prosperity that Your Will be done through her and her family. Please Holy Spirit continually guide Lisa in prayer and Your spiritual gifts I ask in Jesus Christ name!!

Please consider reflecting on: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 and Matthew 6:33-34.

I recommend going straight to the Bible. Today's verse on this website is perfect 2Chronicles 7:14,

Isaiah 58, Ezra 8:21, Daniel 9, Matthew 17:14-21, Mark 9:17-29, Joel 2:12,14,15, Acts 10:30-31, 1Corinthians 7:2-5, Matthew 6:16,17,18,

Esther 4, context begins in previous chapters including Esther 1, explaning her heritage & by wisdom they had kept it silent.

Daniel 6:18, Jonah 3:4-10, notice these two noted here were not known as Godly people yet even their fast was recognized & rewarded by GOD, repentance & humbling themselves, before GOD.

Hopefully these are helpful in your study

Thank you brother for your kind words & encouragement. You certainly have the Barnabas spirit, 'the son of consolation/encouragement'. I perceive that you too would love to share a lot more here, except that work & other commitments unfortunately intrude. Rest assured we always look forward to your thoughts & Scriptures given, to consider & meditate on. Every blessing.

Thanks Brother Chris for all you do.

God bless you.

Hello Brian. To your questions:

John 16:23, "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you." The disciples of Jesus were continually with Him, talking with Him & asking questions - whether for knowledge or making personal requests. And Jesus dealt with those questions. But He was to leave them soon & they would no longer be able to speak with Him as they were doing now. So, He tells them to make their requests direct to the Father, asking in the Name of His Son. Does this mean that we can't speak to Jesus directly in our prayers? I believe we can, as we can also talk to and ask of God, even as Jesus directed His disciples. But what Jesus spoke to His disciples was giving them a Word of comfort & direction concerning their requests, that they could hereafter speak to God in His absence.

I think you're referring to the song with the first line, "I come to the garden alone." And possibly the lines, "And he walks with me - And he talks with me", that is causing you concern. You're right, Jesus is now seated at the right Hand of the Father in Heaven, but I know that by His Spirit (as is God's Spirit), He is with us and in us. Physically, Jesus is in Heaven (according to the Word), but His Spirit still lives in us to minister to us in every way. Does He then walk & talk with us? I believe so - as my relationship is to the Triune God & I have access to God through His Spirit. Then I should be able to converse with Him & enjoy His company as if He was right there beside me.

And why you have not heard sermons on the above, or even isolated references to them, I cannot say. But you can always make mention of these matters to your pastor/elder for clarification. Sometimes we hold these things in our hearts & stew over them, when often sharing them with our leaders & seeking their help, will bring us clarity & peace.
