Scripture, Word and Understanding 9/10/08

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.


Word: Who will take the weak and lame and guide them to the pit? The deceived and crafty seek those who will follow with enticing words, yet both shall suffer the same end. They sought Me not in truth, for if they had, I would have shown them the way. They said in their heart, The way of holiness is to difficult, I will live in mercy and call upon the Lord in the day of darkness. You fools hold truth as a carrot to lead the ox that pulls your cart, yet you would not walk a step (yourself) in the way of truth. I will laugh in your day of calamity when you cry Lord, Lord. For I never knew you. The troubles of the ungodly have no end; peace eludes them, joy is hidden from them, contentment is not in their understanding. For I alone give peace. I alone give joy. I alone give rest. Have I changed? Do I resemble another god that is no god?


Understanding: Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because they have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget thy children.


While praying for the upcoming elections and waiting on God I was directed to Exodus 12 for understanding the times/season and how we should live, or what our mindset should be.

Exodus 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9Eat not of it raw, nor sodden (soaked with liquid or moisture; saturated.) at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance (An animal's internal organs, especially the heart, liver, and lungs.) thereof.
10And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
11And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.

The Holy Spirit impressed me concerning the way we should “think” and consequently, live our lives. To walk in the Spirit we must die to ourselves, which includes our perception of earthly wisdom. There is no advantage to having ears to hear if we do not alter our actions to conform to God’s will. Having the “Mind of Christ” are only words to the unbelieving and unfaithful, they have no understanding in truth/reality, but to those who believe, it is the hope/goal of walking in the Spirit. This equates to being “instantly in season”, as Jesus. Many are ever seeking but never coming to the knowledge of truth because of unbelief. We must not think it robbery if we are as our Master/Lord. Although, to whom much is given much is required.

We are to live, in these days, with our loins gird, shoes on our feet, staff in hand, and eat in haste. Living our life prepared to go/move as the Spirit speaks, lighting our own lamps filled with the oil/Holy Spirit/God/Passover lamb, when we hear the Bridegroom. We are to eat every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God as roasted meat, not raw, marinated or soaked with anything. Not boiled or deep fried, but roasted with open fire, the reality of God’s intent not our hearts wishes, bearing witness by the Spirit of Truth, to cook/roast away any and all fat/worldliness. That means taking God’s word at face value without any spin or commentators opinions added, judging ourselves as God judges. Comparing God’s word to God’s word, line upon line, precept upon precept as the Holy Spirit leads to all truth, in working out our own, individual salvation. Of which, our own individual eternal life depends on. We must eat all we can of God that nothing be left because it will be burned up at the morning of the day of wrath/tribulation. The day of grace will end and walking in the righteousness/Godliness that we have eaten must sustain us till the end of tribulation. To those who had opportunity to eat, but didn’t, this opportunity will be burned up, and what he had will be taken away.

Isaiah 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

Daniel 12: 1…….and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Matthew 11:19….. wisdom is justified of her children.
