Institution of the Lord’s Supper
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. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Beloved, I can only surmise that my heart’s portion in yesterday’s letter was in fact from my LORD’S heart also; for as I watched the news reporting last evening of the demoncrats destroying the American Judicial system, to keep power; I was reminded of the demoncrats as the judge, the jury, and in the seats; after demoncrats killed Emmitt Tilman. I believe some reports even stated they were laughing and playing card games during the “trial”. The names and faces of the demoncrats have changed but they are still satan’s children; doing his will, bringing death to all they encounter. Amen.
Should you so choose, join me as I partake of the sweet nectar of my LORD-GOD, as He teaches me of the man of GOD, “King David” and the wiles of His/my enemy, satan: along with the victory over satan that my LORD-GOD has blessed me with as He reveals to me His victory over satan in the life of “King David”. 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)
“Job 2:11-13
New King James Version
Job’s Three Friends
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him. 12 And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven. 13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
