How to Overcome Disobedience!
By Believing God!

And the Lord said unto Moses,
How long refuse
ye to keep my commandments and my laws? (Exodus
16:28, KJV)
How beautiful it is to read in the Bible
about the Love of God, who, as to a Child, asks you to pay attention to His
Word. After all, the Word of God, the Bible,
was declared by Him for your own good, for your guidance
and direction.
My son, forget not my law; but let
thine heart keep my commandments: For length
of days, and long life,
and peace, shall they add to thee. (Proverbs 3:1-2, KJV)
The Bible is the Word of God and was declared by the Almighty
as your Blessing.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected
us, and we gave them
reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of
spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own
pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. (Hebrews
12:9-10, KJV)
Obedience
to God is NOT a matter of discipline or character; rather,
it is a RESULT of faith and Love.
Let me show you:
Let’s analyze the origin of disobedience. Jesus
taught us that Satan speaks
lies
because he is a liar and the father of lies (John
8:44).
Now the serpent was more subtil
than any beast
of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every
tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of
the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the
tree which is in the midst of the garden,
God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,
lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For
God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. (Genesis
3:1-5, KJV)
Here we have the devil lying and deceiving; however,
notice that the key to the
passage is that God said one thing and the devil said another. God SPEAKS His
Word and the enemy denies it. The important thing to notice is not the
disobedience itself, but the cause behind it.
What caused
Adam and Eve to disobey
God’s Word? Was it the devil’s
deception?
From that day until now, the human dilemma
(and yours) is the same: God says one thing in His Word and Satan says another, whether
in your mind or by using people, knowledge, or
circumstances.
Which of the two will tell the Truth? Which of the two are you going to
believe?
The original sin—the one that gave rise to
all our problems—was not disobedience, but unbelief
in what God said; in other words, unbelief in the
Word of God.
Thus, unbelief gave birth to
disobedience.
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. (Hebrews 11:6, KJV)
Faith, which is believing God by believing
His Word, generates obedience by itself. This is because you are sure and fully convinced that God loves you, that He
is now your Father, and that everything He tells
you in His Word is for your own good
and benefit. How could you not obey if, thanks to Jesus' sacrifice, you now
know who He is and who you are?
See what wooden love the Father has
given us, that we should be called children
of God; and so we are. The reason why the world
does not know us is that it did not know him. (1
John 3:1, ESV)
You don't obey because you have to—in the
sense of an obligation—but rather, you obey now because you have no other
choice. It is part of your New Nature as a Born Again Child of God. Better
said, it takes absolutely no effort to obey the Voice of your heavenly Father.
Now, you only achieve this by BELIEVING
that you are the person
God SAYS you are in His Word.
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of
God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (1 Peter
1:23, KJV)
Solely out of Love for you, and through His
Son Jesus, God has made you His Child, Born Again not of a corruptible seed, but of the incorruptible seed which is His
Eternal, Perfect, and Infallible Word.
The world and its circumstances, its problems and diseases, will always tell you
that this isn't true; that you aren't worthy; that you are insignificant; that
you are a hypocritical and lying sinner; that you won't heal; that you deserve
all your suffering and that you will never escape poverty and misery. Remember
the dilemma? Which of the two will tell the Truth? Which of the two are you
going to believe?
Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. (Hebrews
12:1-2a, KJV)
Obeying God is believing Him; it is
believing His Word. So, lay aside every weight
and the unbelief
that besets you, and run with patience, with constancy and
persistence, the race that is set before you, fixing your eyes on Jesus, the
author and finisher of your faith.
Let’s pray out loud:
Beloved heavenly Father,
this day, in total obedience to Your Word, and because of what You, Jesus
Christ, did out of Love for me—paying for my sins and giving me the Eternal
Life of a Child of God—I, (your
name here), come to declare my victory over every problem and circumstance. You
have established in Your Word that for those of us who love You, ALL THINGS
work together for good, and I believe it. Therefore, I declare that these
problems, illnesses, or circumstances that I am experiencing today will, sooner
or later, turn into a blessing for my life. Thank You, Lord, because there is
no way I am going to lose, for this is the victory that has overcome the world:
my faith. My faith in You, Eternal Father. My faith in Your Word. My faith in
Your Love. Thank You, Father, because You have never left me, nor will You
leave me, because You have loved me with such great love and have made me Your
Child. Because of what You did on the cross, Lord Jesus, and because of Your
Word, I am healed! I am free! I am prosperous! I am more than a conqueror! I
can do all things through
Christ! And, by the Blood of Jesus,
I am blessed to live a full and abundant life. Thank You
very much, Lord Jesus. Thank You for this New Life in Fullness that I now have.
Thank You for my healing. Thank You for my health. Thank You for my prosperity.
Thank You for the Love, peace, and joy that are now my right. I receive it to
enjoy it. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Important Note:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish a relationship with the
Almighty?
Just say the following prayer
aloud, putting all your attention
and heart into what you are saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of
God. That You came into this world, born
of the virgin Mary, to pay for all my sins, and I have
been a sinner. Therefore, today I say that I accept. I accept Your
sacrifice on the cross! I accept Your precious
Blood shed to the last drop out of love for me! I open my
heart to You and invite You in
because I want, Lord Jesus, that from today and forever You be my only and sufficient Savior, my
God, my King, and my Lord.
Thank You, Almighty God, because with this
simple prayer and profession of faith I have passed from death to Life, I have been transferred from darkness
to Your marvelous Light. Today I have been Born Again! God, now I am Your
Child! Now You are my Father! I will never be alone again! I will never live
defeated again. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Three Recommendations:
What just happened by you recognizing Jesus Christ as the Lord and
Savior of your life, according
to God's Word, is that you have been Born Again. No longer
as an ordinary human being, subject to the law of sin and death, but now as a
legitimate and authentic Child of God, Born Again, exactly like Jesus Christ, who is now your Older Brother. Therefore,
I give you these three, very important, recommendations:
1.
Pray. Praying is talking with God. So, find a quiet
place where you can begin talking to Him about everything. Do it out loud, and you will notice
how God always responds to your heart.
2.
Read and meditate
on the Word of God. The Bible
is the Word of God, so
get a Bible and start reading and meditating on it. How do you begin? It’s very simple. Depending on the day,
look up the reading program “The
Bible in One Year” and do the corresponding readings. You can get this program at: Through The Bible In One Year (palabradehonor.org). You will notice
that the program is set up so you can print it as a booklet.
3.
In prayer with God, your Father, look for and join a
Christian church or congregation where the Word of God is taught based
on the Good News, which are
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Reading and Meditation on the Word of God
Do these daily readings, and by the end of one year you will have read the
entire Bible.
February 17 Hebrews 12 / Exodus
16-17 / Proverbs 7.6-27 Hebrews
12 Wherefore seeing
we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider
him that endured
such contradiction of sinners against
himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving
against sin.
5 And ye have
forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise
not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he
receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected
us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much
rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened
us after their own pleasure;
but he for our profit, that we
might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening
for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward
it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths
for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be
healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace
of God; lest any root of
bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person,
as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how
that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected:
for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it
carefully with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched,
and that burned with fire, nor
unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet,
and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should
not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a
beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and
quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount
Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly
and church of the firstborn, which are written
in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men
made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things
than that of Abel.
25 See that ye
refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape,
if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,
Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that
are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be
shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we
receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby
we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming
fire.
Exodus
16 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim
and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole congregation of the children
of Israel murmured
against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3 And the children
of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye
have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with
hunger.
4 Then said the LORD unto Moses,
Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and
gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk
in my law, or no.
5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth
day they shall prepare that which
they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye
shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from
the land of Egypt:
7 And in the
morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he
heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur
against us?
8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning
bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your
murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are
not against us, but against the LORD.
9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children
of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath
heard your murmurings.
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked
toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children
of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh,
and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am
the LORD your God.
13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered
the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the
face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the
ground.
15 And when the children
of Israel saw it, they said one to another,
It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them,
This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to
eat.
16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for
every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them
which are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they did
mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered
little had no lack; they gathered every man
according to his eating.
19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses;
but some of them left of
it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning,
every man according to his eating:
and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22 And it came to
pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and
told Moses.
23 And he said unto
them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To
morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye
will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe;
and that which remaineth over lay up for you to
be kept until the morning.
24 And they laid it up till the morning,
as Moses bade: and it did not stink,
neither was there any worm therein.
25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the
LORD: to day
ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh
day, which is the sabbath,
in it there shall be none.
27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found
none.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long refuse
ye to keep my commandments
and my laws?
29 See, for that the
LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you
on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no
man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the house of
Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the
LORD commandeth, Fill an omer
of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread
wherewith I have fed you in the
wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna
therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for
your generations.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a
land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the
land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is the tenth
part of an ephah.
17 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from
the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of
the LORD, and pitched
in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them,
Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
3 And the people
thirsted there for water; and the
people murmured against
Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our
cattle with thirst?
4 And Moses
cried unto the LORD, saying,
What shall I do unto this people?
they be almost ready to stone me.
5 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Go on before the people,
and take with thee
of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith
thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
6 Behold, I will
stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people
may drink.
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of
Israel.
7 And he called the
name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children
of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in
Rephidim.
9 And Moses said
unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 So Joshua
did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek:
and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand,
Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone,
and put it under
him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the
one side, and the other
on the other side; and his hands were steady
until the going down of the
sun.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek
and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
16 For he said, Because
the LORD
hath sworn that the LORD will have war with
Amalek from generation to generation.
Proverbs
6
For at the window of my house I looked
through my casement,
7 And beheld
among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths,
a young man void of
understanding,
8 Passing through
the street near her corner;
and he went the way to her house,
9 In the twilight, in the evening,
in the black and dark night:
10 And, behold,
there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot,
and subtil of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
12 Now is she without,
now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
13 So she caught him, and kissed
him, and with an impudent
face said unto him,
14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
15 Therefore came I forth
to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works,
with fine linen of Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace
ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her
lips she forced him.
22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool
to the correction of the stocks;
23 Till a dart strike
through his liver; as a bird hasteth
to the snare, and knoweth not
that it is for his life.
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children,
and attend to the words of
my mouth.
25
Let not thine
heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong
men have been slain by her.
27
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of
death.

very much, Lord Jesus. Thank You for this New Life in Fullness that I now have.
Thank You for my healing. Thank You for my health. Thank You for my prosperity.
Thank You for the Love, peace, and joy that are now my right. I receive it to
enjoy it. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Important Note:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish a relationship with the
Almighty?
Just say the following prayer
aloud, putting all your attention
and heart into what you are saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of
God. That You came into this world, born
of the virgin Mary, to pay for all my sins, and I have
been a sinner. Therefore, today I say that I accept. I accept Your
sacrifice on the cross! I accept Your precious
Blood shed to the last drop out of love for me! I open my
heart to You and invite You in
because I want, Lord Jesus, that from today and forever You be my only and sufficient Savior, my
God, my King, and my Lord.
Thank You, Almighty God, because with this
simple prayer and profession of faith I have passed from death to Life, I have been transferred from darkness
to Your marvelous Light. Today I have been Born Again! God, now I am Your
Child! Now You are my Father! I will never be alone again! I will never live
defeated again. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Three Recommendations:
What just happened by you recognizing Jesus Christ as the Lord and
Savior of your life, according
to God's Word, is that you have been Born Again. No longer
as an ordinary human being, subject to the law of sin and death, but now as a
legitimate and authentic Child of God, Born Again, exactly like Jesus Christ, who is now your Older Brother. Therefore,
I give you these three, very important, recommendations:
1.
Pray. Praying is talking with God. So, find a quiet
place where you can begin talking to Him about everything. Do it out loud, and you will notice
how God always responds to your heart.
2.
Read and meditate
on the Word of God. The Bible
is the Word of God, so
get a Bible and start reading and meditating on it. How do you begin? It’s very simple. Depending on the day,
look up the reading program “The
Bible in One Year” and do the corresponding readings. You can get this program at: Through The Bible In One Year (palabradehonor.org). You will notice
that the program is set up so you can print it as a booklet.
3.
In prayer with God, your Father, look for and join a
Christian church or congregation where the Word of God is taught based
on the Good News, which are
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Reading and Meditation on the Word of God
Do these daily readings, and by the end of one year you will have read the
entire Bible.
February 17 Hebrews 12 / Exodus
16-17 / Proverbs 7.6-27 Hebrews
12 Wherefore seeing
we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider
him that endured
such contradiction of sinners against
himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving
against sin.
5 And ye have
forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise
not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he
receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected
us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much
rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened
us after their own pleasure;
but he for our profit, that we
might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening
for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward
it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths
for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be
healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace
of God; lest any root of
bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person,
as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how
that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected:
for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it
carefully with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched,
and that burned with fire, nor
unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet,
and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should
not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a
beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and
quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount
Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly
and church of the firstborn, which are written
in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men
made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things
than that of Abel.
25 See that ye
refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape,
if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,
Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that
are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be
shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we
receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby
we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming
fire.
Exodus
16 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim
and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole congregation of the children
of Israel murmured
against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3 And the children
of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye
have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with
hunger.
4 Then said the LORD unto Moses,
Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and
gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk
in my law, or no.
5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth
day they shall prepare that which
they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye
shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from
the land of Egypt:
7 And in the
morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he
heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur
against us?
8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning
bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your
murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are
not against us, but against the LORD.
9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children
of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath
heard your murmurings.
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked
toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children
of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh,
and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am
the LORD your God.
13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered
the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the
face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the
ground.
15 And when the children
of Israel saw it, they said one to another,
It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them,
This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to
eat.
16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for
every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them
which are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they did
mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered
little had no lack; they gathered every man
according to his eating.
19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses;
but some of them left of
it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning,
every man according to his eating:
and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22 And it came to
pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and
told Moses.
23 And he said unto
them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To
morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye
will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe;
and that which remaineth over lay up for you to
be kept until the morning.
24 And they laid it up till the morning,
as Moses bade: and it did not stink,
neither was there any worm therein.
25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the
LORD: to day
ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh
day, which is the sabbath,
in it there shall be none.
27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found
none.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long refuse
ye to keep my commandments
and my laws?
29 See, for that the
LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you
on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no
man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the house of
Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the
LORD commandeth, Fill an omer
of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread
wherewith I have fed you in the
wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna
therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for
your generations.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a
land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the
land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is the tenth
part of an ephah.
17 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from
the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of
the LORD, and pitched
in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them,
Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
3 And the people
thirsted there for water; and the
people murmured against
Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our
cattle with thirst?
4 And Moses
cried unto the LORD, saying,
What shall I do unto this people?
they be almost ready to stone me.
5 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Go on before the people,
and take with thee
of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith
thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
6 Behold, I will
stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people
may drink.
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of
Israel.
7 And he called the
name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children
of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in
Rephidim.
9 And Moses said
unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 So Joshua
did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek:
and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand,
Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone,
and put it under
him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the
one side, and the other
on the other side; and his hands were steady
until the going down of the
sun.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek
and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
16 For he said, Because
the LORD
hath sworn that the LORD will have war with
Amalek from generation to generation.
Proverbs
6
For at the window of my house I looked
through my casement,
7 And beheld
among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths,
a young man void of
understanding,
8 Passing through
the street near her corner;
and he went the way to her house,
9 In the twilight, in the evening,
in the black and dark night:
10 And, behold,
there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot,
and subtil of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
12 Now is she without,
now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
13 So she caught him, and kissed
him, and with an impudent
face said unto him,
14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
15 Therefore came I forth
to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works,
with fine linen of Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace
ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her
lips she forced him.
22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool
to the correction of the stocks;
23 Till a dart strike
through his liver; as a bird hasteth
to the snare, and knoweth not
that it is for his life.
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children,
and attend to the words of
my mouth.
25
Let not thine
heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong
men have been slain by her.
27
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of
death.
