Today is the Day

How long is the journey where the wisdom of heaven finds itself at home in the heart of a man. sw

Is it the man that speaks wisdom or the words of God which pass through His mouth into the ears and heart of man that make him wise. sw

If what you Believe to be true is from God why is there hesitation. sw

What is any struggle that involves the spirit of God truly about. sw

Heb 11:5-6
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

NIV

How far is the distance between what is true and what God says about His enemies. sw

Love among family is expected, so too the rejection of things that are not seen as believable. sw

Prov 23:9

Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words. NIV

It's easy to read something once and assume your eyes captured every word, yet reading it again and again should prove your own eyes can deceive you once your heart has been renewed. sw

When the objective has been forgotten how long before the heart of a man also follows that path. sw

Understanding the value of One should promote the value of any number that follows. sw

The emotions of a man can either be a momentary distraction that will pass or the confirmation which speaks to what he wants to hear in the moment. sw

If Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God what should a man find who also hopes to See his faith increase. sw

If a picture is worth a thousand words how powerful then is the example every word renders. sw

All that is True was intended to support the understanding The Joy of the Lord is your strength. sw

A rod measures and a staff supports what is True. sw

The ear tries the spoken word yet the spirit enjoys the taste of Gods words and the sound of His voice. sw

Eph 3:10-12

His intent was that now, through the church , the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

NIV

The essence of Truth will maintain consistency whether looking forward through it or back to where it began. sw 

The things which come from God who is also spirit, exactly what are such things if they are not also found to be In Christ. sw

If something is available and you never put it to Good use, what might that suggest about the wisdom of God. sw

1 Cor 2:14

The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

NIV

Rev 1:8

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."  NIV

The good teacher uses a sharp pointer to make sure the student clearly understands the exact object being pointed to. sw

The battle between the sexes will not be seen in heaven as is in the earth. sw

Matt 6:9-15

"This, then, is how you should pray: 

"'Our Father in heaven, 

hallowed be your name, 

your kingdom come, 

your will be done 

on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us today our daily bread. 

Forgive us our debts, 

as we also have forgiven our debtors. 

And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from the evil one.' 

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. NIV

Gal 3:28-29

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female , for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

NIV

Neh 9:10

You made a name for yourself, which remains to this day .

NIV

Part 2 Prince of Peace and a Prophets Reward

When salvation is only the matter of somehow "Going" to heaven instead of who you are in Christ, what does that say about the words of God that were intended to become flesh and dwell among men. sw

How easy is to believe in a world of individual living wills that refuse to "Be" the living testimony which speaks to all that is True. sw

In this world the only thing that is truly "Free" is the Mercy of God which in turn delivers you by His Grace. sw

Isa 55:10-11
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:

It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. NIV

It was said by God (Christ) that John the Baptist was the greatest prophet there ever was, yet as if in the same breath John was referred to as the least in the Kingdom of God.

It never ceases to astound me why the measure of a man can read or hear what other men say (as if God speaking) and then doubt or refute what'e been said. Could the whole human argument be more about the requirements that are then placed on a man when He says he has righteously interpreted and "Believes" God?

Even further men refuse to keep the evidence of their own argument securely stored in their hearts and minds enough that those same arguments in turn fail at governing their own thoughts and decisions made from one moment to the next.

And what is the true definition of "Insanity" or "Chaos"?

Basically once the argument (debate over who is right) seems to settle like the dust cloud kicked up by a fist fight, it's then back to business as usual without regard for their own argumentative reasoning. Could this be the essence of "Guard" YOUR every idle word and/or the voice of your own words that will judge?

Obviously to the person who can read and hear the spoken audible voice, through those two avenues Gods words say what they say, yet do those words always "Interpret" the same way?

2 Tim 4:7-8
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge , will award to me on that day — and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
NIV

Matt 7:2
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged , and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. NIV

Someone might counter with, "If God does anything in the earth who could stand against what He does"? That's a great thought, yet once again how do YOU interpret? Do you live your life as if that same rule applies (Governs) to you in ALL instances?

If there is only one part of who you are that is good and that same part knows to do right shouldn't that part of you also be the NEW creation speaking that comes by way of the Holy spirit of God manifesting which then causes you to speak and do?

And what does man do for the sake of all that God says "Is Love"?

1 John 4:8-9
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love . This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
NIV

Rom 7:17-20
As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do — this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
NIV

So, now that sin can be seen for what it is working from within you, what do you then do? Do you simply do "Nothing" and tell yourself that God will do it all OR do you hold every thought captive unto Christ and pray for His deliverance from the results of such a nature? Not only that but also for "How Long"?

Patience must have its way so too the timely deliverance of God in His sovereignty.

How does the principle of knowing what to do and failing to do it truthfully square with the results of being lead by the sinful nature versus the leading of the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit)?

Especially when it is acknowledged it was men (spirit clothed with flesh) that murdered the active and present God sent Christ who was also named, "King of Kings and Lord of Lords"?

The same King who was given ALL power and ALL authority in Heaven and On earth by the grace of God?

Namely the expressed endowment of the Holy Spirit that IS still to this day upon the Christ who is now seated at the "Right" hand of God on His throne?

Why is it impossible without "Faith" to please God? At what point does the "Knowledge" of the Glory of God then become the effectual working of ones Faith In God? A God that is not only "Willing" but is also alive and active here in the earth? And what is it that also belongs to the praise of Gods Glory?

If that knowledge is ONLY about going to or getting INTO heaven, then what of those who seemingly do NOT make it IN? Especially when those who suggest they Believe God as if they know it is Gods "Will" that no man should "Perish" and spend eternity outside of the presence of God in eternal darkness?

What "Good" is the "Example" if that same example is NOT also found to be effectual?

2 Cor 4:5-12
For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. NIV

Luke 21:34-36
"Be careful , or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 

For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."  NIV

When the Lord speaks today, what's missing from His original message delivered as compared to when He was physically here in the flesh? Exactly what is the spiritual role in terms of the effectual functionality God intended to manifest through the capacity of the Body Of Christ in this world?

What is the difference between the prophet who acted upon the audible directive(s) of God and someone today who's acting on the directives of the written (Re-corded) words of God?

In terms of speaking direct, to whom did the Lord speak some 2000 years ago? Was the context only applicable to those in His presence at that time? Is God eternal?

Have His words somehow since died in the minds and hearts of the hearers today because you were not present or directly involved at that time?

When a prophet is killed does truth also die with the prophet?

If a man could be robbed of what he believes to be true, what would the evidence of that robbery be if it were to be "Proved"? How do you prove a spirit? How do you prove the spirit of spoken words as if the testimony of God?

John 4:24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth. 
NIV

What is a counterfeiter? Truly what is the essence of the crime of a counterfeiter?

Is it "Only" a crime when something counterfeit has been presented as if the original? Or is the essence of that same crime continued when the recipient receives that copy as if an "Approved" copy of the original?

And to whom does the Mercy and Grace of God belong?

Is it only to those who place their confidence in that same Mercy? How much does the Grace of God have to do with coming into agreement with what is True?

What did Jesus suffer? Who did He suffer for? What does His obedience unto His death prove while knowing man of himself is incapable of perfect obedience unto God?

Is it that man is NOT able hear God in the moment or man is not willing to hear Him in the moment? Is it that God is NOT presently speaking to man or does it have more to do with that a man perceives that God is NOT willing to speak to man until man becomes free from the sin nature?

Many Christians today do NOT truly know what they believe to be true as it concerns the person of the One True God. Why would Jesus say, "It is better that I Go away"? Away so that the counselor (Holy Spirit) would come? Is because the spirit versus the physical presence of a man can be in more than one place at One time? One spirit that's in all who believe at One and the same moment?

How much of that doubt can be accredited to "Believing" what others "Believe" to be True or NOT?

It's easy to suggest and then believe that God chooses who is "going" to make the cut getting into heaven, yet if it were all boiled down to "Who" are the liars how many of those liars also denied the "Truth" as if it does matter?

What if the Grace of God is the manifest presence of the "Holy Spirit" whom only follows the directive words of God that are also declared to be true?

Many can claim "Ignorance" yet how far away is that from the truth when the same God we say we've believed says that He will write his spiritual laws on the hearts and minds of men?

Even further to reach a place of maturity to where every son of God will have no need of being Taught the words of God by another man because those who've chosen to believe will also "KNOW" the one true God instead of a bunch of people who've been taught and also choose to "Believe" that No One can Know the thoughts of the silent spirit of God?

Based on the foundation that God is true and that all men have "sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God" shouldn't it at least be of some interest as to what "God's Glory" actually is? Exactly who is the Glory of God except that Glory be those who truly have believed God by way of what He has said?

Many claim they have faith in Christ, yet what does their faith that's In Christ include? That He is Willing to DO what He has promised to do and that only He is able able to fulfill those promises made? Where then does ones faith come into the truthful light of consideration?

Exactly what promises did Jesus extend towards the portion of humanity who are also "Willing to Believe" In Him? He did not only say to "believe" that He exist, but to "Believe IN Him" which includes the very purpose in His person having been "Sent" from God?

If a man were to know exactly what he should pray for, why then has he not already prayed for and received those same things? How hard is to conclude that Christ was sent before you had your first complete thought?

If it were accepted that the soul of a man does NOT know what it should pray for yet the "New" God given spirit within a man of God DOES, what could be concluded?

Exactly how worthy has the God given example of Christ prove himself to be? Not only does he provide His written words, yet many fail to see the Living "Proof" and example those exact words "Project" as if they're also 'Alive".

Some might ask, "Exactly how does a book full of words discern what's in my heart and mind? Doesn't that point towards what You also claim to "Believe" to be true about your God that is also "Alive"?

And why would the thoughts of a mans soul AND spirit have need of being divided and "Judged"? Could those thoughts and attitudes being judged have anything to do with discerning (Deciding) which thoughts and attitudes also "Belong" to God?

Ever hear any arguments going on inside of you? If NOT you should be concerned. The importance of knowing what is true has everything to do with the Mind of Christ that may or may NOT have been formed within you.

Formed within you to mean the One sitting as "The Judge" over your thoughts and attitudes that do surface and try to manifest (Get from the inside of you in order to find life through you while participating in the outside world).

1 Peter 4:5-6
But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
NIV

Heb 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
NIV

John 6:63
The words I have spoken to you are spirit  and they are life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe."
NIV

1 Cor 9:19-23
Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law.

To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law.

To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
NIV

Many think that because they DON'T boldly (false humility) boast about their past imperfections in themselves they then as a result get a free judgment pass, yet these are the same ones who privately flatter (encourage) others in order to camouflage their own assumed "Private" wicked thoughts and attitudes in hopes of going undetected.

Jude 14-19
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him."

These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.

But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.

They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires."

These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 

NIV

How hard does the corporate mind of a corrupt world work in the hope of disproving what is true? Especially in the form of those who parade around as if angels of Light?

Is it possible for the mind of the soul that's connected to and dominated by the flesh to comprehend what was intended for the ears of spirit to then hear that it (spirit) is also connected to the spirit of God?

How does a man Live for someone else within the faith that also reminds him that his life lived will be seen as something valuable? As though one that is barely escaping through purifying flames of fire that have been fueled by temptations and desires that are common to man while also understood to be ungodly desires?

Heb 11:1-2
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. NIV

If you can accept that the word angel also interprets as "messenger", how would you then read where mentioned below, "prepared for the devil and His angels"?

Matt 25:40-45
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' 

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 

Why is the love of God not heard when He suggest to those willing to listen, "Let God be True and every man a liar"?

Ps 73:1
Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
NIV

If it could be accepted that Only God is good, what should one look for as if God has made that same deposit within a man? Does a man look for that goodness within his soul OR within the New Spirit God has deposited and confirmed to be within him?

Matt 12:34-35
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
NIV

Is man offended when he hears the word 'Liar"? If so "Why"? Could it be that deep inside the heart of a man he also knows that no liar will enter Gods kingdom?

When Jesus is read below was He speaking to those he considered to be liars?

Luke 17:20-21
Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you." NIV

How can a person enter something God says is within those who do "Believe"? How thick is the Veil of "Unbelief" that keeps being put back in place by hands that belong to "Ignorance"?

2 Cor 3:14-18
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.

But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
NIV

Have you ever sat and pondered why the words Faith, Hope, Love and Truth are so hard to define in a world that claims it's combined knowledge can eventually solve the meaning of "Anything" if given enough time?

How tangible are such words? How does one cause them to manifest enough that they then become "Real"?

I looked up the word truth and found one source that suggested truth be interpreted as;

noun

• the quality or state of being true.
• that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality
• a fact or belief that is accepted as true.

At what point does every thing the word "Believe" interprets as in terms of the person of God then conclude it's also a persons self fulfilling "Confidence" in what they believe to be "True" in the face of everything else that opposes it?
