LEAVEN
, n. lev'n. [L. levo, Eng. to lift.]1. A mass of sour dough, which, mixed with a larger quantity of dough or paste, produces fermentation in it and renders it light. During the seven days of the passover, no leaven was permitted to be in the houses of the Jews. Exo 12.
2. Any thing which makes a general change in the mass.
It generally means something which corrupts or depraves ,
that with which it is mixed.
Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Mat 16.
LEAVEN

================================================================Mat 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Mat 16:6
Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.Mat 16:11
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?Mat 16:12

Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?1Co 5:7
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:1Co 5:8
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.Gal 5:9

Are we also Afraid ?Exodus Chapters 3 and 4
Exo 4:1
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.Exo 4:2
And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand?And he said, A rod.
Exo 4:3 And he said, Cast it on the ground.
And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
Exo 4:4
And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:================================================================How many times in our walk with the Lord has something Like Verse 3 ,happened to us… ?We do something That we are sure God has told us to do ,and something that seems terrible happens…Then we do as Moses did…We Run away…God was telling Moses all thru Chapters 3 and 4 ,That He would do all that was needed ,That all Moses had to do was what He ( God ) Told him to do…Yet when Something unexpected happened ,Immediately Moses Gave up and Ran away .How many of Us would Have the Courage to Grab that Serpent by the tail , and Change the situation back into something that is Useful and a help to us ?A shepherds Rod was used for many things in those days , it gave balance and support for rough terrain , It defended the Flock , it Gave Guidance to the Flock ,It was a Useful tool in many ways…YetWhen It turned into a snake ,It seemed to be something to be feared and gotten away from…I would be saying a sure thing ,if I said that God is saying to many of us right now…Just Grab it by the tail , and turn this fearful situation around for His ( GOD’S ) Glory !When we get into situations that seem to be just the opposite of what we expected to happen , we will generally turn tail and run away from what we see as a failure or even as a threat !“ I was doing what I believed God told me to Do , and Guess what happened !A Huge Serpent appeared and sought to destroy me…
Boy , I’m Glad I got away from That thing !”When Maybe…God is saying , “ Just Grab it by the tail and go On with what I told you to do ! ”We become afraid…We allow Fears and Doubt to enter ,Thus we Run away…The Best weapon , ( and really the Only one )that Satan has against a Child of GOD… is Fears and Doubt !If He ( satan ) can make Us afraid or to make us Doubt what we are doing , then He has( for Now ) Beaten us .How about it… Are you beaten down ?Has Fears and Doubt crept in and caused you to Give up and run away ?
We ( You and I ) can grab that serpent by the Tail and turn This situation around for God’s Glory !How about it… isn’t It time to Cast aside the Fears and Doubt that so easily beset us !And say “ God I am willing , You are able , Nothing can stop You !I will continue in what you have told me to do ! ”Sunday September 21, 2008 - 01:27am (CDT) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - Are You Praying for Mercy for Others ?

Tuesday September 02This week's promise: God is merciful to us
Does God hear our prayers for mercy on behalf of others?
Abraham approached him and said, "Will you destroy both innocent and guilty alike? Suppose you find fifty innocent people there within the city—will you still destroy it, and not spare it for their sakes? Surely you wouldn't do such a thing, destroying the innocent with the guilty. Why, you would be treating the innocent and the guilty exactly the same! Surely you wouldn't do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?" [The Lord responds that he will not destroy the city. Abraham persists, reducing the number to 45, then 40, 30, 20 and finally ten]. And the Lord said, "Then, for the sake of the ten, I will not destroy it."
Genesis 18:23-31 NLTGen 18:23
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?Gen 18:24
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?Gen 18:25
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?Gen 18:26
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.Gen 18:27
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:Gen 18:28
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.Gen 18:29
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.Gen 18:30
And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.Gen 18:31
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.Gen 18:32
And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.Gen 18:33
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.KJV Genesis 18 : 23-33Abraham's prayer for mercy
In the days before their fiery judgment, the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah probably had no idea that their neighbor Abraham was agonizing with God over their fate. Abraham saw the need for justice, but he also begged God to show them his mercy. He asked God to spare the city for just a handful of righteous people, and God agreed. In addition, God sent his angels to protect Lot's innocent family and get them out of harm's way. But as Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction illustrates, there's a limit to his mercy, for the God of justice will not let sin go unpunished forever.
Just as he listened to righteous Abraham long ago, God will listen to your cries for justice and your pleas for mercy. In the end, God will do what is right.From The One Year Book of Bible Prayers (Tyndale House), entry for March 25.Content is derived from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation and other publications of Tyndale Publishing House
