Dear Brothers & Sisters,
If your dependence on
learning the Word does not include the Holy Spirit, I doubt you’ll get the context of
any scripture correct. After all, the Word tells
us:
Isaiah
28:10 NASB
“For He says,
‘Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.”
‘Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.”
So you see, the Lord
says, that to be in order, you must search line upon line and there will be a
little bit here and a little bit there to find.
Often I find a little bit in the Old Testament (OT) and at least 1-2
others in the New Testament (NT) that will coincide with each other, to ensure
I have the right understanding of the scripture. Especially when I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me - first.
Many Christians think
it's not necessary to read the OT, because we, the “wild branch” (Romans 11:24 ) are grafted into the NT. But IF
God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow; then ALL His promises whether in the OT or NT
still hold for us today. Not to mention
His personality, position on such things as; homosexuality, liars, thieves, you
shall not imitate the detestable
things of evil (Deuteronomy 18:9),
you shall not eat flesh with its life [still alive] (Genesis 9:4), the scepter shall not depart
from Judah (Genesis 49:10). Some of His shall not(s) are for health
reasons and others are for the future of Israel to know.
Your words are more
powerful than you can imagine it's how we’re to live our lives until we join our
Lord and Savior Jesus in the soon coming Rapture. What’s coming out of your mouth?
o The Love of God?
o Cursing
o Blessing
Matthew
4:4 NASB
But
He answered and said,
“It
is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE,
BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT
PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'”
It use to be only the
men cursed and then, only when the women were not around. Today the world has gone down so low that the
women curse worse than the men – OUCH!
Many of us hear a truck driver’s mouth spoken daily. But if you ask the Holy Spirit to help you
speak only what will edify the Lord – He will help you hear and speak what
pleases Daddy (God).
Because of our culture
today, every year when I go on vacation the Bible Study group and I must
re-read “The Tongue – A Creative Force, by Charles Capps. It reminds us that the Lord not only hears
our thoughts, but our words. The Holy
Spirit once reminded me, that David’s worse curse was in the Bible I Samuel 17:6 “Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, “What
will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes
away the reproach from Israel ?
For who is this uncircumcised Philistine,
that he should taunt the armies of the living God?”
We must not neglect
God’s greatest gift, our anointing in the Holy Spirit. If we neglect to nurture and protect this
sacred relationship, the enemy will take advantage of us. Instead of living in absolute freedom and
abundance, we will end up living in defeat and constant lack. The Holy Spirit is our Helper and our teacher,
and there is nothing too difficult for Him, after all, He is the very essence
of our Holy Father.
John
15:26-27 NASB
(26) “When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the
Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,
He will testify about Me,
(27)
and you will testify also, because
you have been with Me from the beginning.”
It’s only thru the Holy
Spirit we can understand Jesus, the Father and Heavenly ways. It’s the way to have a relationship with
them. It is truly their desire for each
of us. To follow their ways not to be in a place of bondage or slavery, but to give you the keys to the kingdom of Heaven
along with ALL the rewards they have stored up for each
of us concerning our life on earth as well as when we get our eternal bodies.
Blessings to all of you - let
His Son shine on and through you!
