"Lesson 3-Key to the King James"
Looking at the world today, I feel ambivalent...
Turn to Psalm 23:5
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, Lord, there's so much to
get into today, so much to clarify and hope that the readers understand of what's going on. So much and even I don't quite understand. Let this not be, I pray, just me going off on my hobbyhorse, or bunny trails. Especially, considering what You've shown me, concerning these remaining 2 Verses. (5&6)... In Christ's Holy Name,
Amen, Amen, and Amen
To summarize. The Key to the KJV is Psalm 119:11, 1=A, 19=S, 11=K,
By hiding "The Word of God (John 1:1; Rev.19:13) in mine heart" I do "not sin against" God. And, the purpose of the Key is to help us remember Chapter and Verse, where it is, as well as what it says.
In V 1 &2, We ask, is The Lord really your shepherd? Are your wants and needs met? V2-"green pastures "and "still waters", the "daily bread" (Mat 6:11) for a sheep. Then in V3-No longer a dumb sheep, bleating, but now a man, David has his " soul restored", and walks the "paths of righteousness... for His Name's sake" Then in V4-David can "walk through the valley of the shadow of death" and "fear no evil" "for Thou art with me", and His rod and staff "comfort me".
So David, (V5) is taken by Samuel, to a "table in the presence of mine Enemies", where Samuel "anointeth my head with oil", making him king instead of Saul. (I Sam 16:1-13), and so the prophet, directed by the Lord, assured that David's "cup overfloweth". And, this the kingship of believers, Jesus gives to all of "My sheep (who) hear My Voice, and I know
them, and they follow Me:" (John 10:27). But, what of you? Is He your good
Shepherd? Like He's King David's and mine ?(Rom 10:13) Well, if you're not sure, if you don't know, then Go immediately to the cross(Psalm 22), and get it settled... It's ok, we'll wait.
Now, there are many terms that people either misuse or misunderstand, take "born again Christian", similar to "Jewish Rabbi", one can be Jewish and not be a Rabbi, but one cannot be a Rabbi, and not be Jewish. Like wise, if you're a Christian, you're born again, but if you're not born again, ( "gennethani anothen"- born from above); ( John 1:12; 3:3,6 &7); then you're not a Christian. Some people think you can be a Christian In Name Only, like a Republican In Name Only, but you can't. (Rev. 20:15)...
Speaking of names, there are many GOPs and DEMs, who call themselves one thing but are nowhere near what they call themselves. Liberals, though usually are. But, people use terms, very loosely, indeed. As like "fundamentalist" which means a belief in the literarily meaning of the Holy Bible, thus, a Moslem, is NOT a fundamentalist, because he doesn't except the Bible "as it is written", since they believe that Ishmael, not Isaac, was to be sacrificed on the altar, even though the picture of Abraham's son, dead for 3 days in his father's mind, carrying a heavy bundle of wood, on his shoulder, is a true picture of a Jew, Jesus, ascending to Calvary. Of course, if you read on, you discover that Isaac had
two sons, Jacob and Essau, and Essau became Ishmael's son - in-law ( Gen.28:8) , some Bible scholars have suggested the Job was actually King
J0-bab(Gen 36:33), a descendant of Essau, as were the Herods. Kind of like
Rahab, the only Canaanite believer, and Job, the righteous.
But names. I hear politicians talk about democracy ,Grk. rule of the
people, when the USA is actually a Republic( Lat. common law,) representatives of the public, but laws that are to govern the government,
as the checks and balances in the Constitution, which every branch tries to
overbalance for their own welfare, not the voters.
Then you have Communists, dictators, minority rulers,Socialists,
what I hear called the Left and the Right, and so they put Communism on one side, and Fascism on the other. Ignoring the fact that the opposite of big government is limited government. Hence, Left= Big Government, and the Right= as close to no government, or self government as possible. I call
it "Conservative Anarchy"... In Day 9 of my book, "Twelve Days to a New You/ The Impossible Done With Mirrors" I talk about Public(Government)
Schools vs Gneuristics (Private)... but, I think that I've said enough, for the nonce... Let us pray:
Here I am, Lord, use me
The world, it did abuse me
The world, it did refuse me
And, drove me from its coasts
Here I am , Lord, take me
Refresh me, and awake me
Remold me and remake me
Refill me with Thy Holy Ghost

Please, Lord, God Bless America again, and bring
Peace upon Jerusalem.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen, Amen, and Amen
