We have lots of territory to cover today, so let’s get right to it.   The death aspect of "sound" is exhibited in that which went forth when the Serpent opened his mouth. The very first thing we see of his "sound" is the questioning of God’s motives. The first thing that comes forth from his onoma is lies, as he says to Eve, “Ye shall not surely die.”

Today’s sharing is going to be a bit of a departure from our past studies — and maybe not — but I want to step a bit into the realm where we’ve had a brother sharing with us and discussing authority from a somewhat scientific realm as well as spiritual and natural.

Let’s see if we can wrap up this part of the adventures in Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

We’re continuing our way through the 23rd Psalm, and I’m sharing with you a series of events that unfolded in 1980 – 1981 as a firsthand walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

Got your pot of coffee ready? OK, some of you would rather have tea, but you get the idea? Pour yourself a cup and let’s pick up where we left off last week.

Once again, Good Morning! Greetings and Salutations! Have to tell you another “granddaughter story,” before we resume with our discussion on the Valley of the Shadow of Death.

During the first and second centuries, Christians were persecuted, tortured, burned at the stake, thrown to the lions, used for target practice in the “games” and a whole lot more because they wouldn’t give up their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and they wouldn’t bow down to other gods.

Thinking about centuries of tradition within the church world, you understand that the terms, “apostle” or “prophet,” were neglected and even frowned upon when referring to certain leaders who were particularly anointed by the Lord to accomplish things and lay foundations in areas where there were none.

Talking last week about the expressions you get from folks when they ask you how you are doing, I neglected to mention one other funny that I use on folks.

Invariably some store clerk or business person will ask me how I'm doing when I walk into their place of business. When I answer them that "I'm Supercalifragilistic," I get this double-take.
