This paper discusses the book of Luke. The gospel emphasizes the Son of man (Luke 5:24) teaching in its biography of Jesus. Luke was most likely a two volume book of Luke 1:1-24:53 and Acts 1:1-28:31. Luke traveled with Paul learning about Jesus from many eye-witnesses of His life. The book is primarily written to the Greek (Gentiles) Christians. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.
Zechariah 6:12-13 "And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: {13} Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."
LUKE THEME:
JESUS CHRIST IS A MEMBER OF THE GODHEAD AND ALSO THE HUMAN IDEAL SON OF MAN SEEKING THE LOST TO SAVE THEM
Luke 19:10 "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."

KEYWORD: PRAYER {LUKE 1:10-22:46}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) And
the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of
incense. {Luke 1:10}
(2) But
the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is
heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt
call his name John. {Luke 1:13}
(3) And
she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which
departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and
prayers night and day. {Luke 2:37}
(4) Now
when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also
being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, {Luke 3:21}
(5) And he
entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that
he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and
taught the people out of the ship. {Luke 5:3}
(6) And he
withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. {Luke 5:16}
(7) And
they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make
prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but
thine eat and drink? {Luke 5:33}
(8) And it
came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray,
and continued all night in prayer to God. {Luke 6:12}
(9) Bless
them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
{Luke 6:28}
(10) And
it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with
him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? {Luke
9:18}
(11) And
it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took
Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. {Luke
9:28}
(12) And
as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his
raiment was white and glistering. {Luke 9:29}
(13)
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but
the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. {Luke
10:2}
(14) And
it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he
ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray,
as John also taught his disciples. {Luke 11:1}
(15) And
he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so in earth. {Luke 11:2}
(16) And
they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said
unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and
see it: I pray thee have me excused. {Luke 14:18}
(17) And
another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove
them: I pray thee have me excused. {Luke 14:19}
(18) Then
he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him
to my father's house: {Luke 16:27}
(19) And
he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought
always to pray, and not to faint; {Luke }
(20) Two
men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the
other a publican. {Luke 18:10}
(21) The
Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that
I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or even as this publican. {Luke 18:11}
(22)
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but
ye have made it a den of thieves. {Luke 19:46}
(23) Which
devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same
shall receive greater damnation. {Luke 20:47}
(24) Watch
ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to
escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before
the Son of man. {Luke 21:36}
(25) But I
have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art
converted, strengthen thy brethren. {Luke 22:32}
(26) And
when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not
into temptation. {Luke 22:40}
(27) And
he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down,
and prayed, {Luke 22:41}
(28) And
being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it
were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. {Luke 22:44}
(29) And
when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found
them sleeping for sorrow, {Luke 22:45}
(30) And
said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into
temptation. {Luke 22:46}

(21) {Luke 21:8-36} "And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. {9} But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. {10} Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: {11} And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. {12} But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. {13} And it shall turn to you for a testimony. {14} Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: {15} For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. {16} And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. {17} And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. {18} But there shall not an hair of your head perish. {19} In your patience possess ye your souls. {20} And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. {21} Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. {22} For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. {23} But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. {24} And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. {25} And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; {26} Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. {27} And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. {28} And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. {29} And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; {30} When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. {31} So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. {32} Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. {33} Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. {34} And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. {35} For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. {36} Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all
people. {Luke 2:10}

Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold,
your reward is great in heaven: for in
the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. {Luke 6:23}

on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word

Luke 1:15 "For he shall be great in the sight of the /\ Lord /\, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be [ filled ] with the /\ Holy /\ /\ Ghost /\, even from his mother's womb."

Numbers 6:4-5 "All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. {5} All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: JOHN THE BAPTIST {LUKE 1:15 – 9:19}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother’s womb {Luke 1:15}
(2) The word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness {Luke 3:2}
(3) John came preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins {Luke 3:3}
(4) John said to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? {Luke 3:7}
(5) The people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? {Luke 3:10}
(6) Publicans came to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? {Luke 3:12}
(7) Soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? {Luke 3:14}
(8) All men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not {Luke 3:15}
(9) John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire {Luke 3:16}
(10) Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison {Luke 3:20}
(11) And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? {Luke 5:33}
(12) And the disciples of John showed him of all these things. {Luke 7:18}
(13) And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? {Luke 7:19}
(14) When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? {Luke 7:20}
(15) Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. {Luke 7:22}
(16) And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? {Luke 7:24}
(17) For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. {Luke 7:28}
(18) For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. {Luke 7:33}
(19) They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. {Luke 9:19}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: Does John having been filled with the Holy Ghost in the womb mean he is saved before birth? Does this imply election and predestination by God? {Luke 1:15/41}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"John shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb" {Luke 1:15}
"Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost" {Luke 1:41}
Clearly, John in Elizabeth’s womb responded to Jesus presents in Mary’s womb. The Holy Spirit had something to do with that. God chose John for a special ministry. John was not perfect, but Jesus words give him the highest grade for prophet which I believe means he is saved.
Luke 7:20 "When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?" John while in prison had some questions of his faith in Jesus and needed to be reassured by Jesus.
Luke 7:26-28 "But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. {27} This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. {28} For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
Now to Predestination: First from a Google search
From Easton Bible Dictionary:
This word is properly used only with reference to God's plan or purpose of salvation. The Greek word rendered "predestinate" is found only in these six passages, Acts 4:28; Romans 8:29, 30; 1 Corinthians 2:7; Ephesians 1:5, 11; and in all of them it has the same meaning. They teach that the eternal, sovereign, immutable, and unconditional decree or "determinate purpose" of God governs all events.
This doctrine of predestination or election is beset with many difficulties. It belongs to the "secret things" of God. But if we take the revealed word of God as our guide, we must accept this doctrine with all its mysteriousness, and settle all our questionings in the humble, devout acknowledgment, "Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight."
For the teaching of Scripture on this subject let the following passages be examined in addition to those referred to above; Genesis 21:12; Ex. 9:16; 33:19; Deuteronomy 10:15; 32:8; Joshua 11:20; 1 Samuel 12:22; 2 Chronicles 6:6; Psalms. 33:12; 65:4; 78:68; 135:4; Isaiah 41:1-10; Jeremiah. 1:5; Mark 13:20; Luke 22:22; John 6:37; 15:16; 17:2, 6, 9; Acts 2:28; 3:18; 4:28; 13:48; 17:26; Romans 9:11, 18, 21; 11:5; Ephesians 3:11; 1 Thessalonians 1:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; 1 Peter 1:2. (See DECREES OF GOD; ELECTION.)
Hodge has well remarked that, "rightly understood, this doctrine (1) exalts the majesty and absolute sovereignty of God, while it illustrates the riches of his free grace and his just displeasure with sin. (2.) It enforces upon us the essential truth that salvation is entirely of grace. That no one can either complain if passed over, or boast himself if saved. (3.) It brings the inquirer to absolute self-despair and the cordial embrace of the free offer of Christ. (4.) In the case of the believer who has the witness in himself, this doctrine at once deepens his humility and elevates his confidence to the full assurance of hope" (Outlines).
From WordNet hyperDictionary:
[n] (theology) being determined in advance; especially the doctrine (usually associated with Calvin) that God has foreordained every event throughout eternity (including the final salvation of mankind)
From my beliefs referring to the paper:
John 15:16 "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you." JESUS CHOSE THE ELECT TO HAVE FRUIT THAT WILL REMAIN
Romans 9:11 "(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)" THE ELECT’S BIRTH AND EXISTENCE DOES NOT PRODUCE THE OUTCOME, ONLY GOD
Ephesians 1:4 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:" THIS, ROMANS 9:11, & 1 PETER 1:20 ALL SHOW THAT IT IS PREDESTINATED (PLAN OF GOD) BEFORE BIRTH OR CREATION THAT DETERIMINE THE ELECT’S SALVATION
Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." EVEN THE ELECT’S WORKS ARE PREDESTINATED BEFORE HIS BIRTH.
1 Peter 1:20 "Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,"
How to handle related scriptures:
2 Peter 1:8-10 "For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. {9} But he that lacketh these things blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. {10} Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:"
THE PROBLEM IS WE DO NOT KNOW IF WE ARE ELECTED. THE CHRISTIAN MUST DO EVERYTHING HE CAN AS A CHRISITAN AND KNOW HIS FAITH IN JESUS RIGHTEOUSNESS (WORKS) ARE IMPUTED TO HIM. HE HAS NO RIGHTEOUSNESS OF HIS OWN. GRACE IS GOD GIVEN JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GIFT FROM GOD.

QUESTION/ANSWER: What was important about John not drinking wine etc? He is a Nazarite. {Luke 1:15}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 1:15 "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."
A Nazarite was only found in the Old Testament. He is dedicated by a vow to a ministry of separation unto God. He remains clean, does not cut his hair, does not go near dead people, and does not drink wine.
Judges 13:7 "But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death."
John is the last Old Testament Prophet.
Matthew 11:13 "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: Why were John, his father Zacharias, and his mother Elisabeth filled with the Holy Ghost? {Luke 1:15/41/67}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 1:15 "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."

Luke 1:67 "And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,"
The Holy Spirit outpouring was mainly limited to prophecies in the Old Testament. These people are still under the Old Testament guidelines and used the gift of God’s Spirit to prophesy.
Matthew 11:13 "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John."
Judges 6:34 "But the spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him." The Prophet needed the Spirit to write his Bible book.
1 Samuel 10:10-11 "And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.{11} And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?" God’s Spirit upon Saul
Psalms 51:9-12 "Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. {10} Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. {11} Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. {12} Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit." After David sinned, he requested God not take away the Holy Spirit.

Luke 1:17 "And he shall go before /\ him /\ in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the /\ Lord /\."
In the spirit and power of Elias:
Matthew 17:10-12 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? {11} And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. {12} But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them."
Luke 1:18 "And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years." Similar to Abraham statement
See my paper: "Faith" for more information on this subject.
Luke 1:19 "And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of /\ God /\; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee these glad tidings."
I am Gabriel: I am Gabriel that stands in the presence of God: Angel for Israel announcing God’s plan:
Daniel 9:21 "Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation."
Luke 2:10-11 "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. {11} For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
Luke 1:20 "And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season." Punishment for his lack of faith and a sign to all others of God’s control.
Luke 1:21 "And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple."
Luke 1:22 "And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless."
Thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple:
Acts 9:5-8 "And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. {6} And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. {7} And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. {8} And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus."
Luke 1:23 "And [ it came to pass ], that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house." His ministry period of serving the temple was over.
Luke 1:24 "And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,"
Luke 1:25 "Thus hath the /\ Lord /\ dealt with me in the days wherein /\ he /\ looked on me, to take away my reproach among men." Of not having a child.
To take away my reproach among men:

Luke 1:27 "To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary."
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph: Mary, was still a virgin, who never had a sexual relationship before Jesus birth.
Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
Matthew 1:18-19 "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 publick example, was minded to put her away privily."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIST: MARY {LUKE 1:27 – 2:34}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary {Luke 1:27}
(2) And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women {Luke 1:28}
(3) And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God {Luke 1:30}
(4) And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS {Luke 1:31}
(5) Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man {Luke 1:34}
(6) 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 {Luke 1:35}
(7) And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her {Luke 1:38}
(8) And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda {Luke 1:39}
(9) And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost {Luke 1:41}
(10) And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb {Luke 1:42}
(11) And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? {Luke 1:43}
(12) For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy {Luke 1:44}
(13) And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord {Luke 1:46}
(14) And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour {Luke 1:47}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: Mary is espoused to Joseph before they were married, and why did Joseph need a bill of divorce? Did they get married and have a ceremony? {Luke 1:27}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph and Mary married before he took her to Bethlehem. They most likely had a Jewish marriage ceremonial. Joseph marriage means Jesus is born to an earthly father where the Jewish tribe line of Judah and David is given. Joseph is the step father of Jesus and legal parent as this occurred before Jesus birth. The father supplies the name to the child Jesus. See Luke 1:63 where Zacharias gives John his name
Matthew 1:18-20, 24-25 "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. {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 4:22 "And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?" Jesus was born after Joseph and Mary married.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 1:28 "And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the /\ Lord /\ is with thee: blessed art thou among women." Highly favoured (Grace) as mother of Jesus
Thou that art highly favoured:
Luke 1:30 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God." Mary found favour (Grace)
Ephesians 1:6 "To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." Believers made acceptable (Grace)
Blessed art thou among women:
Luke 1:41 "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: {42} And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." Elisabeth filled with Holy Ghost call Mary blessed among women
Luke 11:27-28 "And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. {28} But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." Women says blessed is Mary that bare Jesus and Jesus (he) response was blessed is hearer/keeper of word of God.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: Does every generation still call Mary blessed (Roman Catholic)? {Luke 1:28/42/48}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 1:42 "And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb."
Luke 1:48 "For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed."
It is too bad the Roman Catholic Church has wrong teachings about Mary. If we ignore Roman Catholic’s, then Mary would be blessed being the mother of the man Jesus, and she still be blessed. The Christian who studies the Word of God and keep it is also blessed.
Luke 2:34-35 "And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; {35} (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." Mary will suffer seeing Jesus crucified.
Luke 11:27-28 "And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. {28} But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." Jesus says hearer/doer of word is blessed vs Mary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 1:29 "And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be."
Luke 1:30 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with /\ God /\."
Found favour with God: Grace from God to man
Luke 2:40 "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: Why is grace (favor with God) not in Matthew or Mark? {Luke 1:30}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Favor with God is equal to grace. Certainly, Matthew and Mark include scriptures that show God’s grace such as Jesus teachings, healings, death and resurrection. The word grace is however, not found in these two books.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 1:31 "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a M son M, and shalt call M his M name M JESUS M." Jesus means God saves
Bring forth a son and shalt call his name JESUS:
Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Immanual means with us is God
Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Luke 1:34 "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." Mary is a virgin who has never engaged in a sexual union with a man. The father of Jesus is the Holy Ghost. Mary is the mother of the man Jesus and not the mother of God (either the Holy Ghost of the Father.)Mary is not divine of god-like, but a human female being chosen by God for a job of raisen the truly human Jesus who is also equally trult divine.

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

KEYWORD: KINGDOM {LUKE 1:33 - 23:42}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. {Luke 1:33}
(2) And
the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. {Luke
4:5}
(3) And he
said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father
which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in
earth. {Luke 11:2}
(4) But
he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them,
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;
and a house divided against a house falleth.
{Luke 11:17}
(5) If
Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom
stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through
Beelzebub. {Luke 11:18}
(6) Fear
not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the kingdom. {Luke 12:32}
(7) He
said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to
receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. {Luke 19:12}
(8) And it
came to pass, that when he was returned, having received
the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called
unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might
know how much every man had gained by trading. {Luke 19:15}
(9) Then
said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom: {Luke 21:10}
(10) And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; {Luke 22:29}
(11) That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. {Luke 22:30}
(12) And
he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou
comest into thy kingdom. {Luke 23:42}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: Does the Jewish kingdom continue forever? {Luke 1:32/33}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Jews are God’s chosen people forever. The Church did not move them from that unique position among peoples. Jesus, the man, is still a Jew. This Jewish promise continues into the kingdom age. The Gentiles Christians are grafted into Jewish nation.
Genesis 17:7 "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee." Forever
Isaiah 66:21-22 "And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. {22} For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain." Forever
Romans 11:18-25 "Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. {19} Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. {20} Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: {21} For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. {22} Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. {23} And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. {24} For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? {25} For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 1:34 "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" No sexual relationship between Mary and any human. God the Holy Spirit & God the Father is the father of Jesus.
WAY: God allows a Virgin (Mary) to have a baby boy (Jesus) without a man by the Holy Ghost
Luke 1:35 "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 M holy M thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the M Son M of /\ God /\."
[ THEREFORE ]: Holy thing which shall be called the Son of God
Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God:
Matthew 1:18 "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."

QUESTION/ANSWER: Is the Holy Ghost the father of Jesus? Jesus refers to his father as God the Father? {Luke 1:35}

The Holy Spirit and also God the Father is Jesus earthly Father since there is only one Triunity Godhead. This is a large topic which needs many scriptures. See my paper: “Triunity – Father, Son, & Holy Spirit” for more details and scriptures information on this subject below:
I know that one can’t compare the Triunity Godhead to any earthly material, but I will try nonetheless to help people understand the Triunity Godhead.
Water (H2O) can be found in three states: liquid, solid, and gas. If you take liquid water and boil it, you have both liquid and gases water states. If you drop a water ice cube into the liquid-gases mixture you have water in three states at the same time.
This could be compared to the Triunity Godhead of the one God existence in all three manifestations (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) at the very same time.
See my paper: "Triunity: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit" GOD IS A QUALITATIVE ONE TRIUNITY NOT TRIUNE: THREE SEPARATE PERSONS. for more information on this subject.
See my paper: "Godhead Relationship" HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH MANIFESTATION OF THE GODHEAD FOR FULFILLMENT, NOT ONLY JESUS. for more information on this subject.

Luke 1:36 "And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."
Luke 1:37 "For with /\ God /\ nothing shall be impossible."
For with God nothing shall be impossible:
Genesis 18:14 "Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."
Luke 1:38 "And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the /\ Lord /\; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her." Handmaid is a female slave.
Be it unto me according to thy word:
Romans 6:13 "Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."

Luke 1:39 "And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;"
Luke 1:40 "And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth."
WHY: Both John (means Jehovah shows favor) and Jesus will provide super-natural ministries
Luke 1:41 "And [ it came to pass ], that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was [ filled ] with the /\ Holy /\ /\ Ghost /\:"
Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: Zacharias and John the Baptist (before his birth he was saved) also were filled with the Holy Ghost. God predestinated them to be saved.

Luke 1:43 "And whence is this to me, that the mother of my /\ Lord /\ should come to me?" Mary is the mother of Jesus not God’s mother.
The mother of my Lord:

QUESTION/ANSWER: Does mother of my Lord mean Mary is the mother of God? {Luke 1:31/43}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 1:43 "And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"
The mother of my Lord:
Mary is the biological mother of the human man Jesus. In the Jewish religion, the child becomes Jewish through his mother. Jesus is also true God and always existed. Mary is not the mother of God – Divine Son Jesus.
The Roman Catholic use of the mother of God is false as shown in her statement “my Saviour”, making her a sinner like all humans. Also God the Father and the Holy Spirit do not have Mary as their mother.
Luke 1:47 "And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." Mary needed a savior since she is a sinner like all other humans.
See my paper: "Mary" MARY, JESUS MOTHER, IS NOT GOD'S MOTHER. SHE SINNED, HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN & WAS SAVED. for more information on this subject.
See my paper: "Virgin" VIRGIN MARY, JESUS IS BORN TO VIRGIN WOMAN MOTHER, SHE HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN AFTER JESUS. for more information on this subject.

Luke 1:44 "For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for [ joy ]."

Luke 1:45 "And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the /\ Lord /\."

QUESTION/ANSWER: Does my Savior mean Mary is a sinner? {Luke 1:47}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since Mary was born from the seed of Adam, who sinned for all mankind that followed, she is also a sinner by birth.
1 Samuel 2:1 "And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation."
Job 15:14 "What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?"
Psalms 51:5 "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me."
Hebrews 7:5 "And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:"
Hebrews 7:10 "For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him."

Ephesians 3:20 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"
Luke 1:50 "And /\ his /\ [ mercy ] is on them that fear /\ him /\ from generation to generation."

Luke 1:59 "And [ it came to pass ], that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father."
Luke 1:60"And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." The name John means Lord of grace or whom the Lord graciously gave.
After the name of his father..He shall be called John: Usually, the father named the child on the eighth day when they circumcised the boy.
Leviticus 12:3 "And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised."
Luke 1:13 "But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John."
See my paper: "Circumcision" CIRCUMCISION IS EVERLASTING COVENANT FOR JEWS AS TO WHO THEY ARE. IT IS A TYPE OF HEART CHANGE for more information on this subject.
Luke 1:61 "And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name." Traditionally, the name of family member who died is giving for the name of the baby.

Luke 1:65 "And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea."
Luke 1:66 "And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the /\ Lord /\ was with him."
What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him:
Luke 1:15-17 "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. {16} And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. {17} And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MISC: TRUE & FALSE PROPHETS TEST {MATTHEW 7:15}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prophet: A spokesman for another, as for God. Other names/titles in the Bible are as follows: Man of God; Servant of the Lord; Messenger of the Lord; and Seer (to see).
Exodus 7:1-2 "And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. {2} Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land."
Numbers 11:29 "And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, <and> that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"
Jeremiah 1:7 "But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I <am> a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak."
Amos 3:7-8 "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. {8} The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?"
1 Samuel 9:9 "(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for <he that is> now <called> a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)"
John 15:15 "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."
1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."
Prophet would meet the following:
- Spoke only in the name of the Lord (Yahweh).
- God had a special calling for him to by a prophet.
- His life matches his position. He did not practice divination.
- Do not assume signs and wonders prove his position.
- His God given prophecies came to pass.
Deuteronomy 13:1-3 "If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, {2} And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; {3} Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul."
2 Thessalonians 2:9 "<Even him>, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"
- His message was in harmony with previous revelation. History will confirms his authenticity.
Deuteronomy 18:21-22 "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? {22} When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that <is> the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, <but> the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."
- Moral quality and spiritual essence of the message.
- Inner witness to the Holy Spirit believer.
- Test the prophets revelation against what the Bible states.
1 Corinthians 14:29 "Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge."
Holy Scriptures:
God's word is above that of His name:
Psalms 138:2 "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." God's words is most important.
Word of God is Jesus (God's name) who is in every Scriptures:
Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The Bible, scriptures, are God's words.
Psalms 40:7 "Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book <it is> written of me," (fulfilled see Hebrews 10:7) The Bible is centered on Jesus (God) before & after He is manifested in flesh.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Jesus is God & the Word of God.

Luke 1:77 "To give knowledge of salvation unto /\ his /\ people by the remission of their sins,"
Knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins:
Mark 1:4 "John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins."

Luke 1:80 "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel."
WHEN: Caesar Augustus tax decree; Jesus birth; 8, 40 days, and 12 years after Jesus birth {Luke 2:1-52}
Luke 2:1 "And [ it came to pass ] in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed."
Luke 2:2 "(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)"
Luke 2:3 "And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city."
WHERE: City of David Bethlehem
Luke 2:4 "And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)"
Into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem .. linage of David:
Micah 5:2 "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."
John 7:42 "Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"
See my paper: "Messianic Prophecies That Jesus Fulfilled" OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES PROPHECIES & THEIR NEW TESTAMENT FULFILLMENT BY JESUS. for more information on this subject.
Luke 2:5 "To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with M child M."
Mary his espoused wife:
Joseph and Mary married before he took Mary to Bethlehem. They most likely had a Jewish marriage ceremonial. Joseph marriage means Jesus is born to an earthly father where the Jewish tribe line of Judah and David is given. Joseph is the step father of Jesus and legal parent as this occurred before Jesus birth. The father supplies the name to the child Jesus. See Luke 1:63 where Zacharias gives John his name
Matthew 1:18-19 "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 publick example, was minded to put her away privily."
Luke 2:6 "And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered."
WHAT: Jesus birth & his early childhood revealed who Jesus is? {Luke 2:4-52}
Luke 2:7 "And she brought forth her firstborn M son M, and wrapped M him M in swaddling clothes, and laid M him M in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
She brought forth her firstborn son: They had many children after Jesus was born
Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
Matthew 1:25 "And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS."
Matthew 13:55-56 "Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? {56} And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?" Mary is the virgin mother of Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Joseph is Jesus adopted father. Mary and Joseph hadmany children after Jesus (brethren means brothers & sisters).
Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."
Luke 2:9 "And, lo, the angel of the /\ Lord /\ came upon them, and the { glory } of the /\ Lord /\ shone round about them: and they were sore afraid."
The angel of the Lord came upon them:
Matthew 1:20 "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."
Hebrews 1:4 "Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."
See my paper: "Jesus in the Old Testament" MANY OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES SHOWN THAT THE ANGEL OF THE LORD IS PRE-INCARNATE JESUS CHRIST. for more information on this subject.
Luke 2:10 "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great [ joy ], which shall be to all people."
WAY: Angel’s announce Christ the Savior has come, and Jesus early childhood shows who he is {Luke 2:9-14}
Luke 2:11 "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a M Savior M, which is T Christ T the /\ Lord /\."

PRINCIPLES OF FASTING: Matthew 6:16 - 6:18 Principle: self giving.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew 6:16 "Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." They are seen by man and honored.
Matthew 6:17 "But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;"
When thou fast: Fast unto the Lord that He alone knows.
Examples of fasting:
To stand in gap for people:
Deuteronomy 9:18 "And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."
To learn God's will:
Ezra 8:21 "Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance."
To stand in gap for healing country:
2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
To heal child for parents sin:
2 Samuel 12:16 "David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth."
To heal someone:
Matthew 17:21 "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."Some difficult healings or removing demons are by fasting.
Matthew 6:18 "That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly."
Appear not unto men to fast, but to thy Father which is in secret:
Isaiah 58:3-7 "Wherefore have we fasted, <say they>, and thou seest not? <wherefore> have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. {4} Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as <ye do this> day, to make your voice to be heard on high. {5} Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? <is it> to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes <under him>? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? {6} <Is> not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? {7} <Is it> not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 2:38 "And she coming in that instant gave [ thanks ] likewise unto the /\ Lord /\, and spake of M him M to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem."

Luke 24:21-23 "But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. {22} Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; {23} And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: Why did Jesus need to be in the wilderness at the start of His ministry? {Luke 4:1-13}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Israel spent, not forty days, but forty years in a wilderness, where there were no subsistence, not starving, but provided for by God to prove to every age that human support depends not on bread, but upon God's word of promise. Jesus life would follow every Israel and human example during his life to show his dependence on God providing.
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

MISC: DEVIL/SATAN {LUKE 4:2-22:32}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. {3} And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. {4} And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. {5} And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. {6}And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. {Luke 4:2-6}
(2) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve {Luke 4:8}
(3) And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. {Luke 4:13}
(4) And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, {34} Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. {35} And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. {Luke 4:33-35}
(5) For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil {Luke 7:33}
(6) (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) {30} And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. {Luke 8:29-30}
(7) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven {Luke 10:18}
(8) And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered {Luke 11:14}
(9) If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. {19} And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges {Luke 11:18-19}
(10) And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? {Luke 13:16}
(11) Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. {4} And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them {Luke 22:3-4}
(12) And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: {32} But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren {Luke 22:31-32}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 4:3 "And the devil said unto M him M, If thou be the M Son M of /\ God /\, command this stone that it be made bread." Devil is real identity.
Luke 4:4 "And M Jesus M answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every [ word ] of /\ God /\."
It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God:
Deuteronomy 8:3 "And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live."
Matthew 4:4 "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."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: Why did Jesus use scriptures to answer Satan? {Luke 4:4/8/12}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The Bible, scriptures, are God's words.
Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
See my paper: "God’s Word/Bible/Scriptures" for more information on this subject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 4:5 "And the devil, taking M him M up into an high mountain, showed unto M him M all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time."
Luke 4:6 "And the devil said unto M him M, All this power will I give M Thee M, and the { glory } of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it." Devil has power.
Devil said all this power will I give thee..for that is delivered unto me and to whomsoever I will I give it:
John 8:44 "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."
2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Luke 4:7 "If M Thou M therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine." Worship only given to God.
[ THEREFORE ]: If Jesus will worship Satan all shall be thine
Luke 4:8 "And M Jesus M answered and said unto him, Get thee behind M me M, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the /\ Lord /\ thy /\ God /\, and /\ him /\ only shalt thou serve."
Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve:
Deuteronomy 6:13-14 "Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. {14} Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;"
James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
1 Peter 5:8-9 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: {9} Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION/ANSWER: What was wrong with Satan using scriptures? {Luke 4:8}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Devil uses scriptures for wrong purpose, since he is a liar and father of all liars.
John 8:44 "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."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke 4:10 "For it is written, /\ He /\ shall give /\ his /\ angels charge over M thee M, to keep M thee M:"
Luke 4:11 "And in their hands they shall bear M thee M up, lest at any time M thou M dash M thy M foot against a stone."
Luke 4:12 "And M Jesus M answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the /\ Lord /\ thy /\ God /\."

(3) And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. {2} And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? {3} And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were with him; {4} How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone? {5} And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. {6} And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. {7} And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. {8} But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. {9} Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? {Luke 6:1-9}
(4) And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath {Luke 13:10}
(5) And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. {15} The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? {16} And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? {Luke 13:14-16}
(6) And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. {2} And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. {3} And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? {4} And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; {5} And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? {Luke 14:1-5}
(7) And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. {55} And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. {56} And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment {Luke 23:54-56}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEYWORD: KINGDOM OF GOD {LUKE 4:43-23:52}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent {Luke 4:43}
(2) And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God {Luke 6:20}
(3) For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he {Luke 7:28}
(4) And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him {Luke 8:1}
(5) And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand {Luke 8:10}
(6) And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick {Luke 9:2}
(7) And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing {Luke 9:11}
(8) But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God {Luke 9:27}
(9 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. {61} And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. {62} And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God {Luke 9:60-62}
(10) And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. {10} But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, {11} Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you {Luke 10:9-11}
(11) But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. {18} If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. {19} And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. {20} But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you {Luke 11:17-20}
(12) But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. {32} Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom {Luke 12:31-32}
(13) Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? {19} It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. {20} And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? {Luke 13:18-20}
(14) There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. {29} And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. {Luke 13:28-29}
(15) And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God {Luke 14:15}
(16) The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it {Luke 16:16}
(17) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: {21} Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you {Luke 17:20-21}
(18) But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. {17} Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein {Luke 18:16-17}
(19) And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! {25} For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God {Luke 18:24-25}
(20) And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, {30} Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting {Luke 18:29-30}
(21) So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand {Luke 21:31}
(22) For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. {17} And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: {18} For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come {Luke 22:16-18}
(23) (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. {52} This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus {Luke 23:51-52}

(21) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. {Luke 21:36}
(22) And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! { Luke 22:22}
(23) But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? {Luke 22:48}
(24) Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. {Luke 22:69}
(25) Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. { Luke 24:7}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THEME: Inner attitude of the heart as compared with outward conformity. The Christian has no rules or laws. He has Biblical principles. He is not to break the law, since God's law is perfect for all times.
Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {18} For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Romans 3:19-22 "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. {20} Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law <is> the knowledge of sin. {21} But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; {22} Even the righteousness of God <which is> by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:" Law shows our sins.
PURPOSE: This one scripture does the law and prophets which is the equivalent to the entire Bible (Old Testament was only Bible at this time).
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
Luke 6:31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."
KEY VERSE:
Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {18} For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
WHO: God written mostly by Bible authors Matthew, Luke, John, Peter, and Paul
TO WHOM: Elected Christians
WHAT: We can not keep the law perfectly, but we can receive from Jesus of His accomplishments through our faith. Jesus showed, in the sermon, that the law must be fulfilled in the Christian's heart.
Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {18} For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. {17} And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."
Colossians 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;" The law was removed for Christians.
WHY: Christians who lost their witness are good for nothing. Salt: To preserve (Christian influence), enhance the flavor (add Christian values) and purify (clean) the people around us. Christian Light shine: God should receive the glory for the Christians deeds which are the evidences of their salvation. The people around should see Christ in our life. Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12). Light (Jesus) guides us on the correct path. He who walks the walk, it can not be hid.
Matthew 5:13-16 "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. {14} Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. {15} Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. {16} Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Mark 9:49-50 "For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. {50} Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."
Luke 14:34-35 "Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? {35} It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
WAY: This one scripture does the law and prophets which is the equivalent to the entire Bible (Old Testament was only Bible at this time).
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." The Christians does his part first.
Luke 6:31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."
WHEREAS:
Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Luke 12:31 "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 19:29 "And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."
Mark 10:29-30 "And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, {30} But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."
Luke 18:29-30 "And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, {30} Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting."
WHERE: Earth
Matthew 5:1 "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:"
Luke 6:17 "And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;" Possible not at mountain top, but at a level portion.
WHEN:
Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
WHILE:
Exodus 20:3 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."1st Commandment
Matthew 6:19 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:"
Matthew 6:20 "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: {21} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Luke 12:33 "Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. {34} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Matthew 14:35-36 "And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; {36} And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole."

Luke 6:20-23 "And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. {21} Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. {22} Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. {23} Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets."

(4A) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: PART OF LOVE
Luke 6:32-35 "For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. {33} And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. {34} And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. {35} But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil"
Luke 6:32 "For if ye love them which love you, what [ thank ] have ye? for sinners also love those that love them."

Matthew 5:47 "And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"
Love (Charity = love in action):
1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13 "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, {5} Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; {6} Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; {7} Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. {8} Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. {13} And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
Luke 6:33 "And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what [ thank ] have ye? for sinners also do even the same."
Luke 6:34 "And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what [ thank ] have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again."

(7) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: LOVING KINDNESS {Luke 6:35-36}
Luke 6:35-36 "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. {36} Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."
Luke 6:35 "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the /\ Highest /\: for /\ he /\ is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."
For he (God) is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil: Loving kindness not grace which is given only to believers.
Be merciful as your Father is merciful: Mercy is not getting punishment we deserve. Grace (getting what we do not deserve) is what God give us.
Merciful: for they shall obtain mercy: Whole parable in Matthew 18:23-35. The Lord showed him a great mercy & he showed no mercy.
Likewise God forgave us of all our sins. We should forgive others.
Matthew 18:32-34 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: {33} Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? {34} And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him."
[ THEREFORE ]: Be therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful
Luke 6:36 "Be ye therefore [ merciful ], as your /\ Father /\ also is merciful."
Matthew 5:48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(8) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: JUDGING {Luke 6:37-38}
PRINCIPLES OF JUDGING: {Matthew 5:20, 7:1 - 7:5} {Luke 6:37-42} Principle: Judge rightly.
Luke 6:37-38 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: {38} Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Christians can judge sin, not the small issues. By their fruits you can know them. See Matthew 7:16 and 7:20.
Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:"
Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that ye be not judged."
Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
Judge not, that ye be not judged:
Romans 14:4 "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand."Christians have Jesus as master.
Romans 14:10 "But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ."
See my paper: "Judgments of Believer & Unbeliever" PRESENTED ARE SEVERAL JUDGMENTS FOR THE SAVED AND UN-SAVED for more information on this subject.

Luke 6:40 "The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master."
Luke 6:40 "The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master."

(11) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: EYE MOTE {Luke 6:41-42}
Luke 6:41-42 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? {42} Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye."
Luke 6:41 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
Luke 6:42 "Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou [ hypocrites ], cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye."
Matthew 7:3 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
Matthew 7:4 "Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam <is> in thine own eye?"
Matthew 7:5 "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Mote in thy brother's eye, not the beam in thine own eye: Mote=speck
Luke 11:42 "But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." This is true of the Christian also. Do all & trust God.
Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Judgment for same problem.
James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one <point>, he is guilty of all."Only if a non-believer.

KEYWORD: HYPOCRITES {LUKE 6:42-13:15}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Either
how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out
the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not

out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
{Luke 6:42}
(2) Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as
graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are
not aware of them. {Luke 11:44}
(3) Ye
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the
earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
{Luke 12:56}
(4) The
Lord then answered him, and said, Thou
hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his
ox or his ass from the stall, and lead
him away to watering? {Luke 13:15}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew 5:20 "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed <the righteousness> of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." Through Jesus.
Your righteousness exceed scribe and Pharisees, not enter kingdom:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(12) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: GOOD /CORRUPT {Luke 6:43-46}
Luke 6:43-46 "For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. {44} For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. {45} A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. {46} And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
Luke 6:43 "For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
Matthew 7:17 "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."
Good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit:
Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, {23} Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
Luke 6:44 "For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes."
Matthew 7:18 "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither <can> a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
Matthew 7:19 "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
Every tree is known by his own fruit:
Matthew 12:33 "Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by <his> fruit."
Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."

Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Why call ye me, Lord and do not the things which I say:
Romans 2:13 "(For not the hearers of the law <are> just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."
Matthew 7:22 "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
Many will say, Lord, we prophesied, cast out devils, done works: They had a works religion, using Jesus's name, not a relationship.
Matthew 7:23 "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: {7} Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. {8} For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. {9} When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. {10} And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. {Luke 7:1-10}

Sowing of the seed parable in Matthew 13:18-23, Mark 4:3-20, and Luke 8:5-15
Jesus is sower and the seed is the Word of Kingdom of God
Wayside->Understand not->Devil takes the Word away->
Rocks->Receives Word with joy->Believes for while->No roots->Persecution->Offended
Thorns->Cares of world/riches->Choke the Word->
Good ground->Hears Word->Understands->Bear fruit->100/60/30 fold
If the person is a Christian, then he will love God & man. Faith works will follow. If they do not show these signs, it proves that they are not of the elect Christians.
Luke 8:5-15 "A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. {6} And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. {7} And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. {8} And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. {9} And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? {10} And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. {11} Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. {12} Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. {13} They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. {14} And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. {15} But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience." Matthew 13:3-23
Four types of people are shown in this parable where the seed represents the Word of God. The non believer is type 1 group. The mere believer is types 2 group. The carnal Christian will not endure to the end is type 3 group. The Elect Christian will endure to the end is type 4 group.
1) Way side -> trodden down -> fowls devour it -> people hear Word -> Devil takes away Word -> out of their hearts -> lest they believe & be saved
The Sower Parable shows four groups of hearer of the Word. Non believers never receive the Word, the Devil takes the Word away from their heart, so they never believe or act on it. They are from the Sower Parable as group 1.
2) Rock -> sprung up -> withered away -> lack moisture -> Mere believer's hear the Word -> receive with joy -> no root -> for awhile believe -> in time of temptation -> fall away
There is a distinction between a mere believer who simply follows Christianity professes faith who receives the Word, acts on it, endures for a time, tempted, & falls away. They are from the Sower Parable as group 2.
3) Thorns -> sprung up -> thorns choked it -> Carnal worldly believer's heard Word -> go forth -> choked with cares and riches -> pleasures of this life -> bring no fruit -> to perfection
There are carnal followers of Christianity who receives the Word, acts on it, looked as if they were the Elect, endure for a time. However, the cares, riches, and deceitful pleasures of the world means they don't produce Christian faith fruits nor go on to perfection. They are from the Sower Parable as group 3.
4) Good ground -> sprang up -> bare fruit -> hundred fold -> Elect believer's with a honest and good heart -> heard the Word -> keep it -> bring forth faith fruits with patience
The Elect believer will receives the Word, act on it to the end, & bring forth fruit. The scriptures teach that Elect people will persevere because God will preserve them. They are from the Sower Paravle as group 4.

he
suffered no man to go in,

wept, and

Weep not;

And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. {5} And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; {6} For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? {7} And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. {8} I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. {9} And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. {10} For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. {11} If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? {12} Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? {13} If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? {Luke 11:1-13}
PRINCIPLES OF PRAYER: {Luke 11:1-13} {Matthew 6:5 - 6:8} Prayer is a conversation or communication (dialogue of 2 sides) of our heart with God. It should not be general but specific and its purpose is to get God's will done. The intent should not be aimed at changing God's mind or purpose. It should include repentance, praise, worship, thanksgiving, interceding and our requests (We have the petitions when we prayed in faith). Prayer should include praying in Spirit with other tongues (Baptism of Holy Spirit: God's perfect prayer for each of us).
Who to Pray to and give reverence: God
General Principals:
Matthew 6:5 "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites <are>: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." Man give them honor.
Matthew 6:6 "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." God will Himself honor you openly for your gift.
Matthew 6:7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen <do>: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." Do not pray a sermon for people to hear, but to God.
Matthew 6:8 "Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."
Ye pray, use not vain repetitions, they heard for much speaking:
Colossians 4:12 "Epaphras, who is <one> of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."
See my paper: "Prayer" PRESENTS PRAYER STEPS. THE LORD'S PRAYER AND OTHER NEW TESTAMENT PRAYER EXAMPLES SHOWN. for more information on this subject.
LORD’S PRAYER {Luke 11:1-13} {Matthew 6:5-8}:
Luke 11:1-4 "And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. {2} And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. {3} Give us day by day our daily bread. {4} And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."
Luke 11:1 "And [ it came to pass ], that, as M he M was [ praying ] in a certain place, when M he M ceased, one of M his M disciples said unto M him M, /\ Lord /\, teach us to [ prayer ], as John also taught his disciples."
Luke 11:2 "And M he M said unto them, When ye [ pray ], say, Our /\ Father /\ which art in heaven, Hallowed be /\ thy /\ name. /\ Thy /\ [ kingdom ] come. M Thy M will be done, as in heaven, so in earth."
Matthew 6:9 "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."
Matthew 6:10 "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as <it is> in heaven."
Thy kingdom come: We ask God to help us accomplish His kingdom. The kingdom of God tells who runs it; Kingdom of Heaven tells where it is. It always existed with God as King. Jesus is King, within the Christians, of His present Kingdom. Jesus came to bring the kingdom. His second coming will have Him as king for the Millennium.
See my paper: "Kingdom of God & Heaven" JESUS CAME TO ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM. WHAT IS HIS KINGDOM? HOW CAN IT BE ENTERED? for more information on this subject.
Luke 11:20 "But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you."
Luke 17:21 "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven: God's will is done. We ask God to help us do His will. Prayer is to pray in God's will.

See my paper: "God Will Receive All the Glory" DISCUSSED IS PREDESTINATION PLAN OF GOD FOR SALVATION, SANCTIFICATION, PERFECTION, AND GLORIFICATION. for more information on this subject.
Luke 11:3 "Give us day by day our daily bread."
Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread."
Give us this day our daily bread: God will supply all things to His children.
Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Luke 11:4 "And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."
Matthew 6:12 "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors: Jesus shows us an example from the parable in Matthew 18:23-35 Unmerciful Servant.
Mark 11:24-26 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. {25} And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. {26} But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."
Matthew 6:13 "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
See my paper: "Forgiveness of Sins" GOD FORGIVES OUR SINS THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. for more information on this subject.
Lead us not into temptation: God does not tempt anyone. God allows Satan to test and tempt us.
Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed <is> willing, but the flesh <is> weak."
HOW TO USE YOUR FAITH FOR GOD'S PROMISES: The prayer, of faith, should be made in the name of Jesus. It should be in the will of God. A search of God's word on the subject should be made first. A large number of scriptures show God's promises. See my paper: "Faith" for many of the scriptures which cover most subjects. Since the subject is according to the will of God, we can pray with expectation for an immediate manifestation to result. If it does not come, we are to hold on to the request in faith. When you pray, your request should be made once for each subject. Any additional requests for the same subject would be made in un-belief. Prayer in the future, on that same subject, should be a praise and thanksgiving prayer for the finish work. Since the first prayer was done in faith, then the work is completed in the faith dimension. When God manifests the work, in this dimension, is in His timing. We are to believe it has been completed already.
CORRECT PERSISTENCE IS OK: We can pray thanksgiving for receiving the petition: in faith first and then when God manifests it.
Luke 11:5-13 "And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; {6} For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? {7} And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. {8} I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. {9} And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. {10} For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. {11} If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if <he ask> a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? {12} Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? {13} If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? " Pray at all times & for all needs. Not many words are to be used. Not repeating requests.
Luke 18:1-8 "And he spake a parable unto them <to this end>, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; {2} Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: {3} And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. {4} And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; {5} Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. {6} And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. {7} And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? {8} I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We should ask in faith. Then our prayer should be thanks for receiving the items requested. 2nd prayer is a lack of faith.

Luke 11:7 "And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee."
Luke 11:8 "M I M say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth."
PRINCIPLES OF ASSURANCE (ASK, SEEK, KNOCK): {Luke 11:9-13} {Matthew 7:7 - 7:11} Principle: Assurance for the diligent person.
Luke 11:9 "And M I M say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
Ask, Seek & knock: Diligently seek Him. What is most important?
Hebrews 11:6 "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."God gives
Luke 11:10 "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Matthew 7:8 "For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Luke 11:11 "If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?"
Matthew 7:9 "Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?" Only have best desires for son.
Luke 11:12 "Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?"
Matthew 7:10 "Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?"
Luke 11:13 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly /\ Father /\ give the /\ Holy /\ /\ Spirit /\ to them that ask /\ him /\?"
Matthew 7:11 "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"
Ye, being evil give good gifts, much more Father give Holy Spirit:
James 1:17 "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."
John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"

(16) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: WORRY/ANXIETY {Luke 12:22-34} {Matthew 6:25-34}
Luke
12:22-34 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I
say unto you, Take
no thought for your life, what
ye shall eat; neither
for the body, what
ye shall put on. {23} The
life is more than meat, and the
body is more
than raiment.
{24} Consider the ravens:
for they neither sow nor reap;
which neither have storehouse nor barn;
and God feedeth them:
how much more are ye better than the
fowls? {25} And which
of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
{26}
If ye then be not able to do
that thing which is least, why
take ye thought for the rest? {27}
Consider the lilies how they grow:
they toil not,
they spin not;
and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
{28} If then God so clothe the grass,
which is to day in the field,
and to morrow is cast into the oven;
how much more will
he clothe you,
O ye of little faith?
{29} And seek not ye what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink,
neither be ye of doubtful mind.
{30} For all these things do the
nations of the world seek after: and
your Father knoweth that ye have need
of these things. {31} But
rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and
all these things shall be added unto
you. {32} Fear
not, little
flock; for it
is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
{33} Sell that ye have,
and give alms;
provide yourselves bags which wax not
old, a
treasure in the heavens that faileth not,
where no thief approacheth,
neither moth corrupteth.
{34} For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. {2} And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. {3} Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. {4} I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. {5} So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? {6} And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. {7} Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. {8} And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. {9} And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. {10} He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. {11} If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? {12} And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? {13} No servant 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. {14} And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. {Luke 16:1-13}

(20) SERMON ON THE PLAIN/MOUNTAIN: DIVORCE {Luke 16:18} {Matthew 5:27-28, 31-32} {Mark 10:2-12}
Luke 16:18 "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from <her> husband committeth adultery." They are still married.
Matthew 5:27-28 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: {28} But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Adultery committed by thought, word, or deed.
Matthew 5:31-32 "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: {32} But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery." Fornication: Maybe the same as Deuteronomy 24:1's uncleanness.
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery:
Matthew 19:3-9 "The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? {4} And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made <them> at the beginning made them male and female, {5} And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? {6} Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. {7} They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? {8} He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. {9} And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except <it be> for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: & whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Similar to the Mark 10:2-12 account. God allowed, by the laws of Moses for divorce since hard hearted people were committing adultery which had a death penalty. The law did not require divorce. The law of Moses just regulated the divorce-remarriage.
Mark 10:2-12 "And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. {3} And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? {4} And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. {5} And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. {6} But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. {7} For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; {8} And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. {9} What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. {10} And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. {11} And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. {12} And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." The same case was for woman divorcing.

And they said, Nothing. {36} Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. {37} For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. {38} And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. {Luke 22:7-38}

And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. {35} And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. {36} And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, {37} And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. {38} And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. {39} And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. {40} But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? {41} And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. {42} And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. {43} And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. {44} And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. {45} And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. {46} And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. {47} Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. {48} And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. {49} And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. {Luke 23:26-49}
