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.”

Amen.

“1 Samuel 17:4-7
New King James Version
4 And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was [a]armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. 6 And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. 7 Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him.

“17:4-7 | Notice that Goliath was fully armed. In spite of his massive size. He even had a shield-bearer who went before him. David would leave the armaments behind and face his foe with only five stones, a sling, and a shield of faith (17:38-40, 50; 2 Sam. 22:1-4; Ps. 18:2; 28:7; Eph. 6:12).” (THE JEREMIAH STUDY BIBLE—DR. DAVID JEREMIAH—NEW KING JAMES STUDY BIBLE—WORTHY)
“1 Samuel 17:38-40
New King James Version
38 So Saul clothed David with his [a]armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail. 39 David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off.
40 Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

“40 Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.”
“And he drew near to the Philistine.”
Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, I find this most interesting. Amen. Other than Andrew Womack coming to mind, I cannot think of very many in the body of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, who take what our LORD-GOD has blessed them with and “Draw near to the Philistine” anti-Christ persons of our time, as our man of GOD, “King David” did. Amen.
I do however, see “Christians” quietly going along with and even bowing down to the anti-Christ of this day, fearing being “Canceled” to quietly live their lives, undisturbed and without criticism. I do find that most interesting, particularly as many “Christians” like to proclaim GOD’S blessings in their lives.
I also find it most interesting beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, that these man “Christians” vote for and will fight for those in this government who are determined to close Churches and other places of worship. “Christians” who will fight for the agents of satan and then claim, just as this government, claim the blessings of GOD. Astonishing!
It reminds me of the intro to the book of (Amos) in our study of the Book of Revelation, given by a mighty man of GOD, Jack W. Hayford, in His Holy Spirit led and blessed work, as he takes what our LORD-GOD has blessed him with and “Draws near to the “Philistine” anti-CHRIST of this age, coming in the Name of our GOD Most High, in the Name of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, to experience the victory as a child of GOD Most High. Amen;
“PERSONAL APPLICATION
Amos stresses that righteousness and justice are essential to a healthy society. Religion is more than observing feast days and holding sacred assemblies; true religion demands righteous living. The way a man treats his neighbor reveals his relationship with God. Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God. The second is to love our neighbor as ourselves. This is the message of Amos. This is the message needed today. We also are living in a prosperous, materialistic society. Because we are prosperous, we may also deceive ourselves into believing that we have God’s blessing on us. The tendency to give God material goods and believe we have satisfied Him is ever with us. Material prosperity often leads to religious and moral corruption. Observation of external rites is not enough. God demands our obedience—a heartfelt attitude that issues in action to meet the needs of our fellow human beings.” (NEW SPIRIT FILLED LIFE Bible—Jack W. Hayford, Litt.D.—New King James Version—THOMAS NELSON—Since 1798)
Let him who has an ear, hear what the Holy Spirit says to His church. Amen.
Have a blessed Monday beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Amen. Sincerely: Mr. and Mrs. Timothy M. and Linda Shephard. Amen.
