myself to understand this Word more ? And How should I answer them? As You start your personal
study with the Bible it is important to ask yourself Questions so you can better grasp of what you are
reading. Jesus , the Apostles and the prophets and taught at times through questions.

Lets remember that those who are called could and most likely also do have desire that truely comes from God. But how can you tell if the desire is of God and not from the flesh of a deceitful heart ? And the Answer is the Bible. Which not just gives us many examples of those who had a desire but not a calling but also shows us the standard which those who are called should have. So if they have a desire for the position it is wholly from God and not just a self deceived heart which we see one could fall to no matter who we are.

It seems to me as if the Holy Ghost had been please to take on himself the trouble of putting together a short Bible, or book of exemplars, touching the whole of Christianity or all the saints, in order that they who are unable to read the whole Bible may nevertheless find almost the whole sum comprehended in one little book "} We are told in the New Testament to sing the Psalms as we sing to God and each other.

Traditional Jewish and Christian beliefs attribute the authorship to Moses, while many modern scholars subscribe to the documentary hypothesis, which suggests that these books are a compilation of works by multiple authors over a long period of time. In this Book we will look into the evidence of Moses Authorship. This is the 2nd Edition which corrected many of errors of the 1st. And double checked the references.

2 Corinthians 1:... more Claiming the Promises of God
As Christians we are to claim the Promises of God
2 Corinthians 1:20 WEB For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
But also know the context of the passage we are claiming to see if it is for us or not. Not knowing the context of the passage one is claiming is like claiming the green light of a other street that you are not driving in while having a red light ahead of you.
Example:
King Hezekiah was promise to live 15 extra years but that promise was for him and it won't work for a person who wasn't him and found out they have stage 4 of cancer or some other terminal disease.

issue of pastors’ mental health. While I never led a mega church, my time shepherding a small
congregation was filled with profound challenges that weighed heavily on my mental and emotional
well-being. I witnessed tragedies that could leave a lasting impact on anyone’s psyche, including the
horrifying incident of a man being set on fire by a group of drug dealers. In the Kensington area of
Philadelphia, reaching out to law enforcement during the COVID pandemic often felt like calling a
disconnected number—either no one answered, or there were excuses for why help couldn’t arrive.

For Jacob only acknowledged Leah as his wife in his dieing bed, and not the others. And also he only acknowledged Sarah as Abraham’s wife and not Hagar.
Genesis 49:29-31 Then he charged them and said to them: “I am to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite as a possession for a burial place.There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.
In Abraham taking Hagar as his wife he did so in disobedience to God for we see what God opinion was on the matter.
Genesis 21:10-12 Therefore she ( Sarah) said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac.” And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham’s sight because of his son. But God said to Abraham, “Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called.
Galatians 4:30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”

In the vast tapestry of the Old Testament, a tapestry woven with powerful historical stories, inspired teachings, and profound wisdom, there lies a collection of divine names that illuminate the character and attributes of God. These names serve as guiding lights, leading us to a deeper understanding of who God truly is.
Imagine a magnificent mosaic, crafted with intricate precision, where each tile represents a different name of God. Each tile, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, reveals a unique facet of God's divine nature. Together, these tiles form a breathtaking image, symbolizing the interconnectedness of these varied names and the profound depth they bring to our understanding of God.
In the Old Testament, when God reveals His names to humanity, it is an act of intimate disclosure, a way of unveiling His true nature to His creation. These names are more than mere labels; they carry with them deep significance, encompassing God's attributes, authority, and covenantal promises.
From the powerful and majestic "El Shaddai," symbolizing God's strength and provision, to the compassionate and merciful "Jehovah Rapha," representing God as our healer, each name provides a glimpse into the boundless depths of the divine character. Each name serves as a key that unlocks a deeper understanding of God's love, justice, faithfulness, and compassion.
Illustrated within this mosaic, we see Abraham, Moses, with the rest of the prophets, among others, encountering God through these names. As they discover and proclaim these divine appellations, they deepen their relationship with God, gaining insight into His will and purpose for humanity.
Just as the tiles in our illustration come together harmoniously, the names of God in the Old Testament paint a multifaceted picture of God's sovereignty and grace. They remind us that God transcends human comprehension and reveals Himself in ways that resonate with different aspects of our lives.
In embarking on this exploration of the names of God in the Old Testament, we embrace the invitation to know God more intimately, to recognize His divine presence in our lives, and to experience the transformative power of His character. Through these names, we gather fragments of a profound truth – that God is both knowable and yet infinitely mysterious, inviting us into a relationship that surpasses our understanding and fills us with awe and reverence. Although my goal is not to go through all the names of God in Old Testament but just enough to whet our appetites to dig deeper into knowing him.

understanding of the books in the Bible especially the last twelve books
found in the Old Testament which the Jews call Trei-Assar which literally
means the Twelve prophets. They are called Minor Prophets due to their
size but not due to their importance, for each of these books are just
important to the believer as the Major Prophets or any other book of the
Bible for they are God's word. Although some where prophets to the
Northern Kingdom of Israel and others to the Southern kingdom of Judah
but each brought with them the word of the Lord to their times and ours.

Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven is one and the same, notice Jesus using the words interchangably in the following verses (Matthew 19:23-24) And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (ASV) Luke 6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed (supremely blest by extension, fortunate, well off, Happy, Highly favored) those who are lamenting (weeping, mourning, crying) , For they shall be consoled (comforted). Luke 6:21 .......Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.

Many times we desire to put things in our own hands and let the consequences happen what may. But a inner voice tells us to wait on God , trust him , confine in his timing.
Time and time Again in scripture we read about the faithfulness of God.
He is called the faithful God
Deuteronomy 7:9
“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;
His Attribute is faithfulness
Envy is described as a desire to have a quality, possession, or other desirable attribute belonging to (someone else) .
In our fallen nature we have eyes that wants to know the business of others and ears that are quick to believe the worst of
others without knowing the full details of a matter.
Ecclesiastes 1:8
All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not
satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.
I believe we all are guilty of this in one way or the other , we talk
about other people, sometimes we talk about them to ruin their
reputation other times of means of concern.
The Bible tells us before speaking about someone to know all the
facts
Proverbs 18:13
He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him.
In the Trinity we see the Son submitting to the Father.
Introduction
Total depravity, as viewed from a Calvinist perspective, is
the belief that mankind is fallen and sinful by nature, and that
apart from the grace of God, human beings are completely
incapable of choosing God or doing good. This doctrine is derived
from various biblical passages and forms the "T" in the famous
TULIP acronym, which summarizes the five points of Calvinism.

John 8: 1-2 ("But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all
the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. ")
Matthew 5: 1-2
And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when
He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His
mouth and taught them, saying:
Matthew 13 : 1-3
On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He
got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the
shore . Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying:
"Behold, a sower went out to sow.
We don't see that in many churches but you could most likely see

So the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All
the days of your life.
And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
As we read the curse which God gave on the snake which are a few in number two hits us strongly which are: The snake was curse to walk on it’s belly and the other was that it was to eat
dust.
