be taken away from them

RIGHTEOUSNESS

concern about the tithe he
paid, all about self esteem

CONGRESSIONAL FAST
(21) Then I proclaimed a fast
there, at the river of Ahava,
that we might afflict
ourselves before our God, to
seek of him aright way for us,
and for our little ones, and
for all our substance
(22) For I was ashamed to
require of the king a band of
soldiers and hose men to
help against the enemy in the
way ; because we had spoken
unto the king, saying, The
hand of our God is upon all
them for good that seek him;
but his power and his wrath
is against all of them that
forsake him.
(23) So we FASTED and
besought our God for this:
and he was entreated of us

MATTHEW 11:18-19
|
18)For John came neither
eating nor drinking, and they
say, he hath a devil
19)The SON of man came
eating and drinking, and they
say, behold a man
gluttonous, and a
winebibber, a friend of
publicans and sinners, but
wisdom is justified of her
children
|
FOR JOHN CAME NEITHER
EATING NOR DRINKING
That John and his disciple
are persons that MOURNED
always, of which his austere
life was a proof: for when he
came being sent from GOD
as preacher, he was neither
eating nor drinking, but eat a
little of locust and honey,
while the religionist
pretended and frequently
Mourn /Fast , yet was done
to be seen by man outward
ritual that has no spiritual
significance
EATING AND DRINKING
JESUS who ate and drank as
men usually do, lived in the
common way of life, was free
and sociable, did not practice
austerity, went to feasts,
entertainment, and
weddings, when he was
invited; and was affordable,
courteous, and friendly to all
men and not in frequency of
mourn/ fast as the religionist
And they say, behold a man
gluttonous and insatiable
man , he drink excess a friend
of publican and sinner he
never Mourned/fast
BUT WISDOM IS JUSTIFIED
OF HER CHILDREN
The wise counsel of GOD,
are those who are not
offended in me and believe
in me ,making use of several
instrument tempers to win
these people unto his gospel,
they will be justified, that is,
acquitted , defended,
praised, adored of those who
belong to GOD

MARK 1:13
|
And he was there in the
wilderness forty days,
tempted by Satan and he was
with the wild beast; and the
angels were ministering to
him
|
AND HE WAS THERE IN THE
WILDERNESS
And the angels ministered
unto him, angels are provide
by GOD after over coming
Satan

|
ROMANS 14:2-3
|
2) For one believeth that he
may eat all things; another,
who is weak, eateth herbs
3)Let not him that eateth
despise him that eateth not;
and let not him which eateth
not judge him that eateth;
for GOD hath receive him
|
FOR ON BELIEVETH THAT HE
MAY EAT ALL THINGS
He is fully persuaded in his
mind, that there is nothing in
itself common, or unclean;
that the difference between
clean and unclean meat to be
observed by the law of
Moses is taken away; and
that he may now lawfully eat
any sort of food; every
creature of GOD is good and
none be refused, it should be
received in thankgiven
