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. As I read yesterday’s Scriptures our LORD’S Holy Spirit had for us, as when I reread them this morning, it was interesting to hear the man Shimei, with all his heart, exclaim why our man of GOD, “King David” was experiencing the terrible tribulation he was; though all that Shimei said was a lie. Though, the man Shimei was convinced in his heart that what he was saying was true because the “satanic social media” of the time put the lies into circulation, no doubt by the kings son, Absalom. Interesting: the proof of this, is in the fact that our man of GOD, “King David’s” son, Absalom was king: not by GOD’S choice, but by his own choice, with the aid of satan; the father of lies. Amen.
My LORD’S Holy Spirit, just reminded me of a great truth in His most Holy Word, just now;
“2 Corinthians 4:1-6
New King James Version
The Light of Christ’s Gospel
4 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor [a]handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, as we come together today to partake of the sweet nectar our LORD-GOD has for us, as He reveals our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS to us, in His most Holy Word, through His awesome Holy Spirit, let us be reminded of another great truth in the most Holy Word of our GOD; as we read today’s Scriptures, seeing Absalom, somewhat led by the days “satanic social media”; that all men will be known by their fruit. Amen:
“Matthew 7:15-26
New King James Version
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Build on the Rock
24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:
“2 Samuel 16:15-23
New King James Version
The Advice of Ahithophel
15 Meanwhile Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem; and Ahithophel was with him. 16 And so it was, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17 So Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?”
18 And Hushai said to Absalom, “No, but whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his I will be, and with him I will remain. 19 Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so will I be in your presence.”
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give advice as to what we should do.”
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.” 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Now the advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one had inquired at the oracle of God. So was all the advice of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

Godly men, husbands, father’s; see who satan attacked first in this rebellion; was it not the women (concubines) of our man of GOD, “King David”?
Let he who has and ear hear what the Holy Spirit says to His church. Amen.

“The only barrier to receiving truth, is the assumption you already have it.” (The late great Dr. Chuck Missler).
“People don’t let the Bible get in the way of what they believe.” (Andrew Womack).
Have a blessed Tuesday beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Amen. Sincerely: Mr. and Mrs. Timothy M. and Linda Shephard. Amen.
