4. Believe in the Gospel of The Water and the Spirit, Not the Leaven of the Pharisees (Luke 12:1-12)

1. Seek Continuously According to The Will of the Lord (Luke 11:1-13)

We have read some verses from the Gospel of Luke chapter 11 together today. Through today’s Scripture passage, the Lord taught His disciples “the Lord’s Prayer.” The Lord wants to teach proper prayer to His children. He speaks the truth of how to pray with faith. The Lord illustrates this truth through a figurative story and we will take a look at that first. The Lord said, “If one of your friends visited you at night and said ‘I do not have anything to eat. Please lend me three loaves of bread,’ would you say ‘My friend, can’t you see what time it is right now? It’s too late now and my wife and children are asleep. Therefore, I cannot give you bread now. Come back tomorrow morning if you want?’”   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

2. Ask, Seek, and Knock (Luke 11:9-13)

Today, I want to share the Word about praying to God. It says in today’s Scripture passage, “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9). That is true. The Lord told you and me to seek from God whatever we need physically and spiritually as we live in this world and that He will fulfill them.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

3. Woe to You Spiritual Pharisees! (Luke 11:42-54)

The era we are living now is the end times. Do you know this fact? We could actually say this era is like the last train for arrival. When we look at people’s hearts and the trend of the world these days, everything the Lord has prophesied is happening exactly according to what He said. From the historical perspective as well as from the biblical perspective, we can see this era is the end times. It is very hard to find a pure heart among people because this is the end times and the phenomena that are to happen in the end times are manifesting everywhere much more than before. Therefore, Satan the Devil has now covered the world with such darkness that the Truth is reckoned as the untruth and what is real has been denigrated as a lie.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

4. Believe in the Gospel of The Water and the Spirit, Not the Leaven of the Pharisees (Luke 12:1-12)

My fellow believers, what are the bad points of the hypocritical Pharisees? One of them is that they didn’t accept Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the work that He did because they thought they lived really righteous and good lives. Those Jews didn’t believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and they thought a new Messiah would come from Heaven.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

5. Accept God’s Instruction (Luke 12:1-10)

In today’s Scripture passage, our Lord said these three things: “Beware the leaven of the Pharisees,” “Fear your God,” and “Do not blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.” Just as our Lord personally said to beware the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, the Pharisees were very hypocritical. There probably isn’t anyone as hypocritical in this world as the Pharisees were. If we just read the Lord’s saying that warns us especially to beware the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, we can know how hypocritical they were. They were very pious, virtuous, and clean in their outward appearances. So, the Lord told us to beware of these outward appearances. No matter how modest their appearances were, no matter how pious they looked, and no matter how much they claimed to serve God, all of their hypocrisy was revealed before God.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/  [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission  [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35  [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]
