Listened to Matthew 5 today

After receiving my word for today, I listened then to Matthew 5for my hearing of the word of God. It is a good habbit to get into to listen to the word being read to you. I did post what first came to mind on the word scharpening site. After listening and reading the verse that stood out to me, of course to being an older woman was this:

Matthew 5:15 (KJV) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

"it giveth light to all that are in the house" stood out to me. Thinking of even within our homes, do you have out to be seen by any that enter into your house things of the word of God? Is your Bible out in the open. Just asking. I have a box of Jesus words only with cards of the scriptures of Christ only. Very hard to find... just one box is there with just the words of Christ.

This box is opened and at the dining room table next to my laptop opened with the words, so 4 cards can be viewed at a time as when I go to the next words, I discard the old ones for the day to the lid and leave them face up also. A gal who came into the house saw them and loved them and asked where I got them and how much they cost. We talked a bit about them and she asked where I got them. I told her amazon and they are the only ones I found that are just the words of Jesus. Told her to do a search for "words of Jesus cards" .

I change them daily and have my daily verses for myself for the day. I just love them, they are better than a horror scope is what I call it haha. Be fed a daily word to start your day.. They will bless you. Leave them out on a table to be seen.. they do have an attention draw to them vs a Bible.. They will be blessed with a scripture or two and maybe start a conversation about the Lord. I need to buy a second box for my living room, even my grandchildren who can read see's them. The color red makes a read curiosity for children. A witness then you can be for the Lord as Peter said:

1 Peter 3:15 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Psalm 60:4 (KJV) Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

Prayer-Where To Start

What did Jesus do?

God is Alpha and Omega (the beginning and the end). Once in scripture reading and hearing you will be led to do more, but for starters start your day with a prayer and the end of your day with prayer. We know the morning before His day he started with time with the Lord in prayer, but also for us it is a great time to listen to your chapter a day or whatever to start your day. I am a morning and all day person haha. I talk to Father in my mind during the day. My mind to me to the Lord is my "prayer closet" Matthew 6:6 (KJV) But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

So his alarm was set for a great while before started His day.... Mark 1:35 (KJV) And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

We know He finished His day with prayer.... Matthew 14:23 (KJV) And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

We know Jesus prayed at meals : Mark 6:41 (KJV) And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

We know Jesus Thanked Father out loud for things.....John 11:41 (KJV) Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. Matthew 11:25 (KJV) At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

What would I pray starting out?

I would start with short prayers to begin with and end the day with. I also would give thanks even just in my mind only saying out loud at home a blessing for food and thanking Father for it. Jesus did this stuff daily, I would try first just to get into a habit with something short. God knows your heart and hears your mind. My mom would thank the Lord and praise the Lord saying those 2 different things often out loud. I would do it too but did more saying it in my mind to Him. Do what is comfortable and believe me with time in following the Lord you see changes within yourself.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37 (KJV)

NEW CHRISTIAN HELP - LETS START

NEW CHRISTIAN HELP - What next!

Praise The Lord for you! It is exciting when you hear the call and come to the Lord, He desires to be your God and walk with you and abide with you. As all new Christians, we desire to know the Lord and that of course is the Gospels where we follow Yeshua Jesus to know Him. Most know it comes with the Bible and prayer. I wanted to tell all how I was directed feeling it was an awesome way plus now being old would add some things. Quick start knowledge before we begin.

Almighty God knows all

God not only see's all but He can see your heart and read your mind! Now Satan wanting to stop your knowledge of the LORD, he can hear and see but is not able to read your heart and mind. Satan is able to drop a thought into your mind, but he is not able to read your mind. He would see if you had a response to it if you respond. I wish I had of known this when I started.

Prayer: Father I ask you open my ears to hear, eyes to see and heart to receive your word and I thank you for it. Amen. (say it in your mind if not out loud)

New Christian - Start reading the Gospels.

I would start by listening (reading) the first 4 chapters of Matthew. Matthew addresses the beginning with birth of Jesus to baptism, being tempted by the devil and starting to choose his disciples. Book of Matthew

Then start reading the Book of John. Why John? The book of John starts with the first miracle that Christ did plus gives you the tools of understanding about the Holy Spirit and hearing the words of Christ Jesus. In John 17 you get to see the prayer Jesus prayed for us, praying out to the future for us, including us that hear by his disciples which this book and Matthew are both his disciples prayed for within that prayer. This is the perfect place to start. Now I love to hear the word read to me so will online listen to the dramatized while reading along in scriptures. For the audio online book of John dramatized I used biblegateway. Book of John

Don't worry about doing that much, if all you want to read or listen to is just one chapter start there but get in a habbit of doing it every day. You might get hooked on listening and end up listening to more than you thought. Try to though at minimun to listen to 1 chapter a day, we all have a few minutes. Father God is your Father and just like any parent they want to see their child each day. You are a child of God's. When your done tell Father in your head what you thought of it, He knows anyway but it helps getting you in a habbit of talking to the Lord.
