R U LISTENING 2 WRONG VOICE, PART 3 CONT'D

-








I want to continue to share scriptures that helped   
me stay in the Christian Army. The 3 voices that 
have caused people conflict since Bible days are: 
The Voice of God, Your Voice and Flesh, and The
Voice of Satan. 

This week I will discuss the voice of satan. Today, 
I'll share scriptures giving stories about  people
who did not resist and listened to satan's voice. 
These people suffered had dire consequences.

He is full of lies and tricks. The Lord does not want
you to  be ignorant about this. He wants you to use 
His wisdom which is available with prayer and study
of His Word. 







RAPHAEL, PAINTING: HE DEATH OF ANANIAS, 1515  
LIFE LESSON:
ANANIAS &  SAPPHIRA LISTENED TO SATAN AND LIED TO GOD. 




ACTS  5:1-4


1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession.
 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?  
4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”



ACTS 5: 7-10
LIFE LESSON:

ANANIAS & SAPPHIRA 'S DECEITFUL BEHAVIOR RESULTS IN  THEIR DEATH


ACTS 5:5-6, 7-10

5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things.
6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 
8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”
She said, “Yes, for so much.”
9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”  
10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 






GIOTTO DI BONDONE, PAINTING (1304-06)

The Arrest of Christ (Kiss of Judas)

 
LIFE LESSON:
JUDAS LISTENS TO DEVIL AND BETRAYS JESUS.


MATTHEW  26:48-50   

48 Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” 49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 But Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have you come?”
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 

 LUKE 22:3-6  

3 Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot,
who was numbered among the twelve. 
4 So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. 
5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6 So he promised and sought opportunity to betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.


JOHN 13:2-3  

2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, 
to betray Him,
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
