Take Heed (Part 2)
Take Heed – Part 2 These warnings keep us from wandering from the faith as well as bearing the consequences of spending eternity apart from God (the ultimate dread).
Job 36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this
hast thou chosen rather than affliction. This
warns us to avoid complaining against God!
Psalm 39:1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that
I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked
is before me. This warns us to keep ourselves
from evil speech (slander, lying, carnality, cursing, coarse joking, abusive
talk)
Ecclesiastes 7:21 Also take no heed unto all words that are
spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: This
exhorts us to disregard it when people slander us.
Isaiah 7:4 and say unto him, Take heed, and be
quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking
firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of
Remaliah. This warns us to remain silent and
refrain from fear. When
people feel afraid, they often speak of them – thus magnifying them. As we
remain silent before the LORD, our fears are stifled.
Jeremiah
9:4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in
any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will
walk with slanders.
This warns us not to trust anyone!
Jeremiah 17:21 thus saith the Lord; Take heed to
yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates
of Jerusalem; This exhorts us to rest in the LORD.
Hosea 4:10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall
commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take
heed to the Lord. This warns us that there are consequences for not abiding in
Christ.
Malachi 2:15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of
the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take
heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife
of his youth. This
warns us against being unequally yoked with unbelievers and to be gentle on those who are weaker than you.
Malachi 2:16 For the Lord, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. This warns us to refrain from violence.
Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be
seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. This warns us to refrain from putting on a show for others by
the good that we do.
Matthew
16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed,
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. This is a warning regarding the ways of others; living a
life - and bearing the light of Christ is going to be troublesome for those who
see His light in you.
Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of
these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. This
exhorts us to give regard to the Body of Christ and to treat them as such.
Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take
heed that no man deceive you. Mark
13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more
be given. Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for
whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall
be taken even that which he seemeth to have. This exhorts us to keep and grow in the faith in truth -
and to refrain from assuming we ‘know it all'.
Mark 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they
shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and
ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony
against them. This exhorts us to be strong and
know their mistreatment of you is because your light is a testimony against
them.
Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you
all things. This exhorts us to remember all God
has spoken to us.
Mark 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know
not when the time is. This exhorts us to keep watch and
pray.
Luke 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. This exhorts us to walk in the Light of Christ.
Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and
beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the
things which he possesseth. This warns us to refrain
from having too much; this is not what life is about.
Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. This exhorts us to rebuke a person if they sin against you - and to forgive them.
Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not
deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time
draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

being careen and careless, and being self-absorbed.
Acts 5:35 and said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to
yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
This warns us to refrain from asserting ourselves.
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and
to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to
feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. This exhorts us to look after others - especially the Body of
Christ.
Acts 22:26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the
chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is
a Roman. This warns us to be careful in how we judge and
(mis)treat others - especially within the Body of Christ.
Romans 11:21 for if God spared not the natural branches, take
heed lest he also spare not thee.
This is a serious warning against falling away and entering into spiritual
ruin…
1 Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given
unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another
buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth
thereupon. This exhorts us to live a life of true
Christian Discipleship; since Jesus is the foundation, your life(style) needs
to match Christ’s.
1 Corinthians 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of
yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
This is a warning against continuing in sin after Salvation; by remaining in
the flesh (living to please yourself) your ministry becomes nullified.
1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. This warns to refrain from being 'sure of ourselves’ (Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.).
Galatians 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This warns us to refrain from fighting amongst each other (Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.).

the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. This exhorts us to walk in the Will of God.
1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. This exhorts us to bear a truthful witness by abiding in Christ and showing yourself to be an example of Him.
Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in
any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. This warns us against separating ourselves from the Eternal Holy
God!
2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: This lets us know that there is nothing that we can ever be sure of that is not found in the Holy Word of God (Authorized King James Bible).
Take Heed not just intellectually, but internally.
