Word & Scripture 7/20/08

How is it that you have no patience? How is it that you seek temporal pleasures to pacify yourself rather than have peace, being alone with Me? I tell you this day, do not be wise in your own eyes, but understand by My Spirit. All you see now will pass away. It is earthly, to love the earthly is enmity with Me. In patience you posses your soul. In your ability not to lust after the joys of the flesh you rule over your heart. Judge yourself, for judgment surely comes and will fall upon you lest you fall upon Me. Cast all your cares on Me and do not pick them up again, but believe that I will provide. I will bring before you what I have for you. Do not seek it yourself, fulfilling your own hearts desires. Trust in Me.

Do not be a hearer of My words only, but apply faith and believe. For what good will My wisdom do if you choose your own? What benefit are dreams and visions if you do nothing about them? What good are words of truth if you do not value them? If you do not seek understanding? Do not deceive yourself and be unwise. Though you may have My Spirit, without My truth you cannot do My will, you cannot please Me. The double minded receive nothing. They withhold blessing from others. They have no peace, no lasting joy, they seek to please themselves. They seek to heal self inflicted wounds with their own wisdom rather than trusting Me. They teach others to do likewise. They cast a stumbling block before those who they influence. Gifts are given without repentance, that does not ensure your calling and election, doing My will pleases Me.

Flesh; Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not full fill the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Romans 8:7 The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.)

Spirit; Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the (Holy) Spirit (evidence that He is in your life)is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. (1 Corinthians 2:16… we have the mind of Christ.)

Those who pervert truth, those who cover evil and say it was good, are deceived and refuse truth. (They) Refuse to be set free to walk in light. Though I give them space to repent, they enjoy the power of emotion to twist truth for their own feelings. Am I mocked? Do I not know that they know truth? I tell you they eat the apple (fruit) of challenge. They force Me to judge even though I love them. I will not bless idolatry, witchcraft, the spirit of Jezebel.

Come, be healed of your wounds. Be made whole. Take understanding, hold fast to truth, do not succumb to the sins of your fathers (earthly). Be free, be free, again I say to you, be free and watch My hand, (watch) Me. For your deception keeps you from My blessings. I have power to make you whole. I have power to turn your mourning into joy. I have the peace that you desire. Perfect love casts out all fear, with no torment.
