23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood.

Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Beloved, let me ask you a question: If your children played a team sport and you and your wife was on one team and your best friends were on the other team: your children were playing against your best friends’ children.
During the game, your team began to win and the coach of your best friends’ team demanded the referee change the rules; in their favor (obviously). What would be your reaction? What if your best friends were supporting the demands of their children’s coach. How would you and your wife feel?
Beloved, what if it was your children’s coach who demanded the referee to change the rules of the game, in your children’s favor; how would you and your husband feel? How do you think your best friends would feel? Do you think it would have any effect on the two father’s relationship: Do you think it would have any effect on the two mother’s relationship? Do you think if would have any effect on the children’s relationship?
Question beloved, would you keep your children in that sports venue? Would you teach your children that it’s ok to cheat? Would you continue to support that children’s sports venue or would you speak against it? What would your children learn from you concerning the ups and downs of life? Would your children learn character, morals, and values; or would they learn to have none?
Let us beloved, partake of the sweet nectar our LORD-GOD has for us as He reveals Himself to us in His most Holy Word, in the life of our man of GOD, “King David” that we know beloved, our LORD-GOD demands us to walk in His light that the world know that our LORD-GOD is, has, and demands truth, pure truth; integrity, and character. Amen.

“21:1 To number Israel: The census of David in this chapter is also recorded in 2 Sam. 24, but there it states that it was because God was angry with Israel (the reason for this is unclear) that He moved David to take the census. The account of the census has been problematic because God does not cause anyone to sin (James 1:13) and because it is not apparent why such a census was wrong (Num. 1:2, 3; 26:2-4). The first problem is clarified by comparing 2 Sam. 24:1 with 1 Chr. 21:1; God did not directly incite David to do something for which He would then turn around and judge him (v. 14); rather, He allowed Satan to influence David to do what David probably already had in his heart to do (James 1:14, 15).
This is similar to the times when the Lord allowed Satan to trouble Job (Job 1:12; 2:6) or when He permitted an evil spirit to torment Saul (1 Sam. 16:14). This is one of the only three OT references where Satan (literally, “Adversary”) is mentioned by name (see also Job 1; 2; Zech. 3:1). The absence of the definite article (the) before “Satan” in v. 1 indicates that the title, which emphasized his role in inciting rebellion against God, had already become a proper name.
Although we are not told why the numbering was evil (v. 7), it was perhaps either an indication that David was trusting more in his military strength than in God’s power (see Ps. 20:7) or a violation of God’s instruction to Moses on how to conduct a census (see Ex. 30:11-16). The first would be a sin of motive and the second, a sin of method.” (NEW SPIRIT FILLED LIFE Bible—Jack W. Hayford, Litt.D.— New King James Version—THOMAS NELSON—Since 1798)

Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS: have you heard what the Holy Spirit is teaching us in His most Holy Word? Have you taken a closer look at your heart?
Beloved, I pray we be delivered from those the late great Apostle Fred Price spoke of; who the late great Dr. Chuck Missler spoke of; who Andrew Womack spoke of:
“If GOD only, has you and I to spread His gospel, is He in trouble?” (Apostle Fred Price)
“The only barrier to receiving truth, is the assumption that you already have it.” (Dr. Chuck Missler)
“People don’t let the Bible get in the way of what they believe.” (Andrew Womack)
Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, husbands; you are ministers of the gospel of our heavenly Father-GOD, of our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, of our LORD’S Holy Spirit; you have a congregation our LORD has blessed you with: they are (in heaven’s order) your wife, your children, your family, your friends, your co-workers, the world. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Have a blessed Friday beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Amen. Sincerely: Mr. and Mrs. Timothy M. and Linda Shephard. Amen.
