A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 We will know when Jesus comes again
The Greek word for know is Ghinoceko, meaning to perceive and be resolved or understand. Paul is an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, and he is a Hebrew of the Hebrews and a scholar, but he marvels that we know in part. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect comes, Jesus, then that which is in part shall be done away. We will know when Jesus comes again and reverses the Adamic curse on mankind.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Jesus told us except we become as a child, we would not enter the Kingdom of God. So childlike faith is what we must seek, but childish behavior we must grow out of when we become men.
We will know when Jesus comes again, for we will have glorified bodies just like Jesus, and we will have complete knowledge and understanding. Now we see through a glass darkly, but when we are face to face with Jesus, we will know as we are known. No matter how many degrees we have behind our names, we still know in part. This is the human condition, and partial knowledge is part of the curse of sin. We use only about six percent of our brains, and that is why we know only in part. We must study the Bible daily, yet we still lack a comprehensive understanding of it. Thank God the Holy Spirit takes the things of Christ and makes them understandable for us. For in Him we live, move, and have our being.
We will know when Jesus comes again, and many things that we do not understand now, we will know when we are face-to-face with Jesus Christ. So do not fear, but now abideth faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. We will lose our partial knowledge when Jesus appears face-to-face with us. What a joy that will be in heaven, for everyone will know everyone, because Jesus will give us all our glorified bodies.
#In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1
The Hebrew word for throne is Kicceh, for covered, i.e., a seat, stool. Above it stood the seraphims, each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of Him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Woe is me, for I am undone and a man of unclean lips and dwell with a people of unclean lips.
Who is like unto the God of Jehovah, the God of angel armies? I will worship Him all my days and praise His name forever for thou art worthy of all our praise. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and wash me with your coals of fire. For I delight to do thy will, and your throne is forever, the seat of righteousness. The earth is your footstool, and we are the sheep of your pasture. Search me, O God, and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Yes, I will walk in your ways, and speak the truth in love to thy people, just consecrate my heart, and I will follow thee wherever thou sendest me. Help me to know my end, so that I may apply my heart to do thy will, and I will be careful to give you all the glory and the honor. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Thou made him lower than the angels, I shall yet praise thee for you are the source of my joy, and the lifter of my countenance. I will walk in thy way that thou hast appointed for me to go, lead me in the secret place of thy tabernacle, and I will forever praise thee. Let the seraphims praise thee, and everything that hath breath praise thee, for thou only art holy and worthy of all our praises. Let the whole earth be full of thy glory, O God my rock and deliverer.
#For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. Acts 9:16 Paul learned to suffer for Jesus.
The Greek word for "suffer" is "pascho," meaning to experience a sensation or impression, usually painful, and to vex. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem. And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel. Paul learned to suffer for Jesus, and we, too, must do the same, for it is appointed for us not only to believe in Jesus, but to suffer for Him. And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting hands on him said Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, has sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then Saul was certain days with the disciples who were in Damascus. So Saul had his name changed to Paul, and he said I have learned to be content in whatever state I am in. Lord, I pray that I may be able to say the same thing and also suffer for your sake.
#There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 Love lifted me
The Greek word for perfect is Teleios, meaning complete. in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that. God hath to us. God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as He is, so are we in this world. We love Him, because He first loved us. If a man saith, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from Him, That he who loves God love his brother also.
Love lifted me is one of the great hymns of the Church, and when I was lost in sin, Jesus lifted me with His love by dying on the cross for my sins. This is the perfect love that casteth out fear, because God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. So do not be tormented by fear, but love your brother. Whoso loveth his brother has passed from death to life. This is the perfect love that God has for us, and we must have it for one another. Love lifted me by teaching me to love the Lord with all my heart, mind, and soul. This is the great commandment, and the second is like unto it, that we love our neighbor as ourselves. We must provoke one another to love and good works as we see the Day of Christ appear. Jesus said love would wax cold because of sin in the world. The only way we will win the world to Christ is to love others just as Jesus has loved us and given Himself on the cross for our sins.
#He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defense; I shall not be moved. Psalms 62:6 Go to the Rock
The Hebrew word for rock is Tsuwr, meaning a cliff, sharp rock, boulder, refuge, or sharp stone. How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. Go to the Rock that is greater than I. They only consult to cast him down from His excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly, Selah. My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is our refuge for us, Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
David is facing many obstacles, and he calls upon the Lord, Go to the Rock, for in Him there is hope. Trust in the Lord at all times; ye people. Jesus is the Rock that the builders rejected and has become the cornerstone, upon which the Church is built. I will trust in Him at all times, for He is my defense. When I am afraid, I will wait for Him, for He is my salvation. It is my prayer that you will place all of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, as I have done, and call upon Him in the day of trouble, and He will surround you. This poor man cried, and the Lord delivered him from all of his troubles. I will wait upon Jehovah, for He is my Rock and the lifter of my head.
#For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Matthew 12:37 Be careful what you say
The Greek word for words is Logos, meaning something said (including the thoughts), also reasoning of the mental faculty or motive. Jesus is talking to the disciples about words. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Be careful what you say, because God is always listening. Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying Master, we would see a sign from thee. But He answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Be careful what you say, cause every word we use will be used on judgment day for us, or against us. So be careful what you say, and be prayerful as the Psalmist said," Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, my God, and my Savior." Then we can be sure that the Holy Spirit will give us just the right words to use. The Pharisees were trying to trap Jesus, so He told them about the prophet Jonah, who was swallowed by the whale, and while in his belly he prayed to God, and after three days was regurgitated by the whale on dry land. This is a picture of Jesus, who, after being crucified, was placed in the garden tomb, and after three days, was raised from the dead. If thou wilt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. These are the words that we must use to be saved from hellfire. Now, soon, and very soon, we are going to see Jesus, so let your words be few, and your faith be increased. For by the hearing of the Word of God, faith is produced. We are saved by grace, through faith, and that not of yourselves but is a gift, lest any man should boast. All those who put their faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross shall be justified. But all those who trust in their words and good works shall be condemned.
#For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only He who now lets will let, until He be taken out of the way. 2 Thessalonians 2:7
The Greek word for mystery is Musterion, meaning a secret or to shut the mouth. (Though the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites is a derivative of muo.) What a shock, a man able to buy a gun and a rifle, and a pistol, and shoot up children at a Catholic school. Red Flag laws need to stop people with mental illness from doing mysterious things like this. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he, as God, siteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember, you did not hear these things from me when I was with you, but now I tell you them. Paul reminds the Philippians of the Day of the Lord, when the antichrist will enter the temple, claiming to be God. And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. The Holy Spirit is holding him back from being revealed in his time. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs, and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
It is time for us to be vigilant, for our adversary, the devil, goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. When you hear the truth, believe it, so that you will not be deceived by the lies of the devil, for right now the Holy Spirit is holding him back from being revealed until the Church is taken out of the world. We must warn the wicked that Jesus is coming soon, and He will take vengeance on all those who obey not this gospel, and believe the big lie, and not the love of the truth. Let us pray for all the families of the children who were killed by the senseless act of violence yesterday, and pray that the Government will enforce the Red Flag laws so that people with mental illness cannot do such a heinous act of violence.
#And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto His place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims: 2 Chronicles 5:7 Holy is Jehovah
The Hebrew word for oracle is Dbiyr, meaning the shrine or innermost part of the sanctuary. Holy is Jehovah, and we must praise Him in the holy place. And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. And they brought up the ark and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up. Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark, save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. Holy is Jehovah, and this is a picture of what we will be doing in heaven, worshipping the Lord, as the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark. We must consecrate ourselves now with the blood of Jesus, so that we will be holy when we praise God in the sanctuary.
Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord, though your sins were scarlet, ye shall be white as snow. We must sanctify ourselves with the word of God by reading it every day. Great peace have they that love thy law, and nothing shall offend them. May we walk before the Lord in holiness, yielding our members unto the Lord as He has commanded, for Holy is Jehovah and He alone is worthy of our praise. These are examples unto us, how we must walk before the Lord in spirit and truth. O magnify the Lord with me today.
#No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of Me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 Rest in Jehovah God
The Hebrew word for "weapon" is Kliy, meaning something prepared, i.e., any apparatus or armor. In righteousness shall thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear; and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created thee waster to destroy Rest in Jehovah God, for He shall save thee from every weapon formed against thee. Be thankful that God is in thy midst, and He shall give thee the victory. Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against all the wiles of the devil..For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, and every imagination against God. For we walk in the flesh, but we do not war after the flesh. I praise God for the victory and will give Him all the glory. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. So be bold, be strong in the Lord, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. So keep looking to Jesus, the Author and finisher of our salvation. who for the joy of Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for us.
#Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile. John 1:47
The Greek word for guile is Dolos, meaning no trick, or craft, or subtilty. Now Phillip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answered and said unto Him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
Jesus knows our hearts, and He knew Nathanael was a true man who told the truth, and because of it said a man in whom is no guile, how we need more men like Nathanael. When you asked a question of Nathanael, he told you the truth, and that is what we need in the world today. So Jesus points out his sincerity and tells him, 'You shall see greater things than these,' Because he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. When you look for guine people, look for a Nathanael. I have talked to many people, and have yet to find one like Nathanael. What a compliment by the Lord, to say that about a man. I pray that more people will emulate Nathanael and be true men of God.
