10/18/07 Word & Scriptures Believe

Scripture;
John 3
11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

"Oh, slow to believe, I desire to pour out Myself, but you are quick to hear, but slow to believe. I tell you that what you have shall be doubled for your hearts desires truth more than honor, knowledge more than riches. Hear me this day. You know my voice, be quick to believe that I may show you things to come. That I may show Myself strong to those who love and fear me, that I will make a difference from those who love Me in word and those who love me indeed".

Scripture;
Romans 8
1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Then the Lord said; "Do not put yourself in harms way".

Comment: (the scripture, word, scripture and final word were given in the order written)
In this, the Holy Spirit was comparing Nicodemus' understanding to those who have access to the Mind of Christ, the Holy Ghost (or Spirit). The huge range of difference is comparing carnal mind to hearing in the Spirit, night and day, not even knowing that the Spirit speaks to hearing with confidence. In this "Word" the Spirit was instructing those who can hear but doubt to stop doubting as you cut yourself off from what God is saying to you (and me) today. Thus, keeping us from every "Word" that proceeds from the mouth of God. Then the Lord confirmed His "Word" with the Romans 8 in which Paul confirmed that the Romans were experiencing to same doubt. Finally, the Lord puts all this in perspective by warning that if you doubt you will not be lead, allowing yourself to move from the safety of His path or covering.
