Where There is No Lack

In the last week, a government was shut down. In that many are being laid off their work. Those affected will be loud in the streets! 

  Matthew  7: 24-29 NKJV “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, & does them, ‘I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock, 25 “& the rain descended, the floods came, & the winds blew & beat on that house, & it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, & does not do them, will be like the foolish man who built his house on the sand, 27 “& the rain descended & beat on that house & it fell, And great was its fall.” 28 & so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 for He taught them as one having authority & not as the scribes.

Those who put their trust in the Lord, with all our hearts gain understanding. Proverbs 3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

We are to acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. It is more than one path. In a direct contact with the Lord, one that is of intimacy, each of us will know our paths! Each path is straight, it is for the upright in God. It is always the pleasing and the good. 

In the previous verse found in Proverbs 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.

 In wise living we will avoid all the things that shorten your life. But many are on the outside of the justice of God. They will bargain with anything to gain the advantage over another person. They will do that even to the President. Have you seen it in these last days?

You and I must deal accurately with people. We are to be the honest and transparent in our dealings. But those who choose to make those deals in getting that heart's desire find they are in a bad deal ending up with emptiness and falsehood.

Sa  Saw a lady head to the west coast yesterday seeking justice for those who fight to keep this nation one under God. She is one of many who seek justice to those who live righteously here and now under God. Any justice of God is to keep His own safe and anyone breaking those rules and laws are to repent and turn.

But it is too easy for many to get free stuff. And when the government shuts down, the free is cut off indeed. If Jesus is truly the Lord of our hearts, then His reign is health to us, He is prosperity, happiness and peace. Our justice is wisdom from God. And it is inexhaustible which guides us daily in this life and into our future!

2 Corinthians 4: 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:17-19 For He received from God the Father honor & glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns & the morning star rises in your hearts.

 Jesus brought light to reveal error when darkness had appeared through sin.  The word confirmed for salvation, healing & deliverance…to live for God by faith in obedience to Him:  John 14:6  NKJV  6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth & the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. It is the walk of faith in Him!   Having Jesus, is sinning no more!

Matthew 9:12 When Jesus heard that, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13  “But go and learn what this means: “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.” For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.’

 Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. ( This was addressing the sins of the priests in the life of Hosea)

Hosea 6:5-7  Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and your judgments are like light that goes forth, 6 For I desire mercy & not sacrifice & the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 7 But like men they transgressed the covenant. There they dealt treacherously with Me.

Men dealt treacherously with Jesus. Men dealt treacherously with Dr. Martin Luther King. Men will deal treacherously with you. Anyone who shines a light in those dark places will be subject to the violence of treacherous men!

For us, you and I we see mercy daily. In a covenant of love to those who have experiences it in their own relationships with God, we can extend it to others. We both will pray for those who break laws in this nation for their own heart's desire. We extend mercy and believe in justice!

Those who know that love can extend the kingdom of God….those who know the Healer will see themselves speak comfort to those who mourn and bring light in the darkest heart to see the goodness of God!     Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!”

Not receiving Jesus is seeking the empty. Not taking Him in our hearts is those seeking the world's wisdom. Jesus told the Jewish nation their house was left to them desolate. And seventy years later it came to pass!

God has no lack in heaven! God has ways to get things to us. He can show you when you are willing to put forth some effort! That effort is getting a job. It is doing something for your community. It is willing to help your neighbor. But scripture reminds us not all use scripture nor do they know God!

In Romans 10 we are reminded of this:

Romans 10:1-3……….(1) Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. (2) For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. (3) For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. NKJV

Paul accurately records that the Israelites had a zeal, "but not according to knowledge."

1.   They operated in much confusion. 

2.   The apostle Paul before his conversion had a misdirected zeal. You can say his zeal as a Pharisee compelled him, and bound him to thoughts to see Christ and those of  the “Way” to be enemies.

3.   They were those who were enemies to his early fathers and to the faith they held for their God. And of course the case against him at the beginning and before his conversion on the road to Damascus…….was he had put many of them into prison. But his zeal also killed!

WHEN true knowledge is still lacking. Today they have thrown out responsibility to law and substituted a specious faith. Justification is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it I the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

As to poetry: a design produced by an artisan, a product of conversion: a balance to us, a symmetry/order. We are God’s poem, His work of ART!   He that begun this work in us: it is he that is a good thing: Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

His word will produce benefits: will be in a physical sense, a good thing,, an attractiveness, an excellence. This is ALWAYS bases on God’s goodness, His faithfulness not on our own!

Faith in God produces Order in the Law: Romans 2: 13  ( for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; Romans 7:7-12 NKJV 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” 9 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. 10 and the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. 12 Therefore, the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good.

Law pointed to the spiritual of man and spiritual death of him!

1.   From Romans 2:13: as the believer, we trust by faith, we hear and then we obey

2.    Listening is not enough: we must obey ! The only in-corrupt doer of the law was Jesus, the righteous One!

3.   The law is holy, just and good, He presented it in His perfect and eternal holiness.

If the actual law has been done away with, then there is no such thing as sin—but sin certainly exists! James explains that the faith that is "living" obeys the royal law .

(James 2:8-12 NKJV  if you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love our neighbor as yourself,” you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12  So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.    

In Romans 7:8 we are told not to covet. Covetousness is idolatry. It is seen in the activity of the human heart. It is in those from across the border to those living in these United States.  In this covetousness, it is a deed of the body. It is a heart craving, that wanting and enjoying with something treasured more than God. It is paying war lords back money owed to get across a border because someone coveted what Americans have. It is coveting a neighbors house or their husband or wife. An idol written by Paul is a disordered love or desire.  It is putting on those cowboy boots and kicking high in idolatry that gives song to the dark side!

So we might have that idol in heart. I hope we do not. But should you love a girlfriend more, a sport more and maybe your yard more than God, then it is a bad thing. Where there is no lack is finding home in the heart of God. Where there is no lack is knowing His heart and His plan for you. And it is not stealing from Joe, Fred or Jenny to pay war lords or gang leaders. Get a job, pay your fair share and be a part of something good. Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 1 this: You turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God and to wait for His Son from heaven whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come. So when we turn to Christ from idols, we escape the wrath of God because He is for us! Thank YOU Lord for the Cross!

Where there is no lack it is not worshiping dead people as grandparents or great grandparents. It is not bringing a ritual of death and calling it your heritage. Only God can create and He can cast into Hell! (Matthew 10:28 and Luke 12:4-7) Will we be citizens of heaven or hell?

Fearing God involves trust and not terror. He makes sure there is no lack for you or  me!

Health Wealth

Have you ever wondered how some people out live their children or grandchildren? Have you noticed those who seem to be agile and strong in their seventies and eighties and then you come upon those who are only in their fifties and sixties and they seem to creak, releasing weird sounds from  their bodies and they move like a snail on the ground?

 

Psalm 90: 10-12 The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow. For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  11 Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath. 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

In generations past ( some 60 years), maturity was found among the seventeen to twenty-one year range of age. People lived in harder environments, they lived in harsh weather without special coverings and protection. They traveled great distances to get from the place of their birth to the place they would have land, to plant, to work for a harvest and to build in that place. The life they expected, where they were responsible people to grow their food, make a place as a home of safety for family, to ward off any adversity from wild animals to outlaws in a vast wilderness, with no trains, planes or automobiles.

Those becoming of age, either educated or taught the life of a farmer or what some call too, the blue collar worker regarded a trade that would cater the farming industry as well as to the community in need of repairs requiring engine repair, welding relating to fencing for cattle or any livestock or to those like the garbage collector, firefighters, and police service. Men or women at or considered of age to work had capability to be responsible and those living in the early days of television, each had a maturity without television, that onslaught of commercials or television programs or movies that teach drinking parties, good times, fun in the sun with an ale or beer, sporting events, to take one into the night to knows what, and then you see those tropical beaches, revealing a tropical breezes, dark tans and the people there are not you!

What I know as my generation, we grew up knowing God in our school with prayer. We knew God at home, at work and within family get-togethers. We grew up knowing how to plant seeds to grow food and see our parents and grand-parents canned suchs food to keep a family well fed in the cold of winter to stay healthy indeed!  It is a known truth that television came on the scene in the mid-fifties of the last century. 

It is also a known truth that commercials declared you could see the U.S. A. in your new Chevrolet for America was asking you to come and call on America. By the mid-sixties there were soap operas that sold more porn than soap. By the seventies, it was roller skating parties, boogie nights, pet rocks, and Atari games that were coveted. And it was at this time we saw little of the growing food for home and family, little family time together, unless you have four wheels on each foot, and speed cream in those bearings within your wheels on fancy skates to move you faster down the roller rink floor. In the seventies, words heard a lot were oil embargoes, OPEC, and many like us saw long-lines at the gas stations and people on strike: like the meat butchers and the milk industry.

 

THE Eighties brought greater party times: for there were now floating floors to skate on as the concrete floors would wear you down. You had musicians with hair longer than yours. ( and looked much nicer than our own hair) Most of their songs made no sense unless as a youth you had watched many soaps like that world was turning, secret storms, and days of our lives operas. At this time a greater defiance appeared in many. That is when one took an ugly way and tried to assassinate the President of the United States. Movies depicting going back to fix something to somehow correct yesterday that was affecting today,  to those movies of living far away removed places like on other planets and yes Death star..  What was wrong with the planet we live on? The songs sung pointed to being physical,  and yes, with Betty Davis eyes, and the importance of every breath you take!

The eighties seen in 1982  presented "The Computer"  named Time Magazine's Man of the Year. Microsoft released "Word" their word processing program. ( now how can a computer be a man of the year, I ask you that)

1984 Band Aid records "Do They Know It's Christmas?" a charity single to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. Are they not still suffering famine in that country?

1986 The Chernobyl nuclear reactor explodes in the USSR..( and people cannot live there today) ( latest report we heard over the winter was that soldiers went there on a military patrol and got radiation poisoning! Yikes!

1988 Two years after the Challenger Disaster, NASA's Space Shuttle program resumes..

1989 The Berlin Wall is torn down at the end of the Cold War.

The eighties marked the start of the computer AGE! 

In the nineties we saw the Gulf War begin.The nineties have been viewed as that of peace, prosperity and order. But we know of novels which came to light that produced the illusion and work of witchcraft.  It was the first three released to be read in America.

The quality of television was raved about as the “improved”: but it was far and away from the things of God. It was about me, me and me! New channels added to T.V. those premiere channels which add a hefty amount to the price of cable and the such, well they included soft-core porn too and then suddenly they went further! NO fences now, the ambition was a brilliant idea to ushering that cable thing and bring in more of the world right to your lazy comfort chair.

THE digital age, of course, got fully underway in the ’90s. At the beginning of the decade almost none of us had heard of the web!  In the nineties my thoughts were not on browsers, search engines,  nor that of digital cell phone networks!  By the end of the decade we had them all.  Yes, the end of the nineties decade marked people had cell phones, but not smart-phones!  

Such technology at your fingertips indeed yet  it mostly heaped distress and work on you to the greater degree. It brings the things of the world into your hearing and you’re seeing. It does not show the area of responsibility to work and live with that attitude.

In the generation we live in today, the mature come to being the responsible around thirty or so years not as in the earlier generations where the normal was 17-21 years of age some 65-75 years ago. Many graduating from college return to live at home with mom and dad and remain footloose and fancy free to live as a child. They are fashionable extroverts, the carefree daredevils or the clueless pleasure seeker or junkies referring to what degree they have evolved to in that pleasure seeking. Their highlights include a late morning rise at noon, make it out of the door by late afternoon and seek the night life where everything is hidden in the cover of dark. Tomorrow you will hear of their sudden death from taking something they thought it was medicine like Oxycodone but it was not. It was a drug dressed like Oxycodone and yes dressed in something appearing as death. It is a look alike but not the same created to help in pain and the such, no this is inserting a death pill that is created  by those who desire to put death in people. The devil has done a work indeed.

Yes, the times have changed. People have changed their attitudes and minds for a culture and left God out of it. They choose night over day, they choose sleep over work and at night they choose play over a good night’s rest. They dress different and choose to find drugs dressed as they are dressed. They choose to lose themselves in something that is fake much like our news today.

Back to Psalm 90: 10-12 The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow. For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  11 Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath. 12 so teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

By length of strength they are eighty years: Message Bible We live for seventy years of so ( with luck we might make it to eighty), and what do we have to show for it? Trouble. Toil and trouble and a marker in the graveyard. Who can make such anger against the very ones who fear you?

Written by Moses, he sought to pray. He understands God is always in His role as Creator and Almighty Father.  Colossians 1:15-17 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And he is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

In this Psalm man relates to man’s frailty. He uses grass, the favorite of O.T, metaphor for that of mankind or human life, he speaks to God’s awareness. He speaks of His omniscience. 

Acts 15:18 — "Known to God from all eternity are all His works."

Romans 11:33 — Oh the depth of His riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

1 John 3:20 — For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

Hebrews 4:13 — And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Romans 2:16 — God will judge the secret things of men by Jesus Christ, according to [Paul's] gospel.

Then he gets to what we see as the number of years in verse 10. And we must know that this applies to what dietary restrictions and purity life one would live out. But we have seen that even what seems to be the best at the time can be bad to the temporal body in a length of time. ( Like finding out that mercury fillings in teeth from the mid twentieth century can kill you later in life) That is why being born again and allowing Holy Spirit to lead us, we will not end up in the place of not only the bad but also the ugly place. No Holy Spirit leads us to the wealthy place in the Lord!

If you have a generation not actually starting to be mature till their thirties in this day, they only have a half life to live out. The psalmist asked the Lord to teach us to take advantage of short lives. And in my estimation, I considered my life short when I was eighteen. Always hearing my father to speak to remember that life was short and we had to make the most of every moment of it God had given us. So the Lord has given us Jesus, and He wisdom is made unto us to become alive unto the kingdom of God. It is spiritual and active. It is alive unto God and His power and might. It is life God meant for us.

But sad to write, only a remnant will truly know the fullness of this. The Bible speaks of that remnant. We can be directed by God’s word, see Him now, always recognizing His voice, His walk and leading. But for others, they will know the voice of mom or dad, know when to leave the house for party city and return in the dark of night to start over again, unless they make the trip for that pill or that next drag on a smoke, for they find that pill dressed for death. And if death pill finds its way into their mouth to end the life that truly God had purposed for victory to live for valor, then how sad one did not live for the Lord and to His praise. How sad so many have died not knowing what true living was. How sad to never know the loving God who sent His Son to save us: those who would put their trust in Him!

Health Wealth: Philippians 4:6-9 MKJV  6  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9  The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

 

We need to pay careful attention to this sequence of instructions because it contains much that can help us attain both good spiritual and physical health.

 In the past fifty years, men have come to understand how deteriorating and destructive stress is to life. Paul's counsel, written nearly two thousand years ago, tells us not to be driven by anxiety or fearfulness about life.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus admonishes us to "take no anxious thought." The stress of anxiety is wearying, setting us up for multiple afflictions. If we really "see" God, we should know that He is with us. Should we not feel great assurance in His promise never to allow us to be tempted above what we can bear? Faith is a prime solution for anxiety.

Urged by Paul , we are to let God know our needs in every matter of life. As Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, He already knows our needs, but He wants us to recognize, evaluate, and communicate them to Him, accompanied by thoughtful expressions of thanksgiving for what He has already given, as well as His promises of blessings in the future. Do we see what this process achieves? It disciplines us to think within certain well-defined parameters that have Him and His way at the center of our life and our focus.

Paul then asserts that one benefit of this is tranquility of mind, respite from the restlessness so common to the carnal mind, which is constantly searching for new stimulation to satisfy its insatiable longings. This peace of God will stand guard over our minds like a sentinel, allowing us to meet and cope with the problems of life.

In the peace of God, we see God’s way for coping with the problems of life. Our minds occupied with God and with the things God speaks as the true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy. Through this discipline, we program our minds with the right things; what goes into the mind determines what comes out in words, actions, and attitudes.

If we would only stay out of America’s dump ground found in television, you know that  "garbage in, garbage out, we should adhere to the wholesome in, wholesome out". Jesus' statement, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34). We could take this further and say that out of the abundance of the heart the mind thinks and feels, and the body acts.

Are we putting our best foot toward a health wealth or a garbage holding lot for that which culture dictates? As what Paul defines what is wholesome specifically as what they had learned, received, heard, and seen in him, as he was indirectly telling them to eat Jesus Christ because he, Paul, as His apostle to the Gentiles, was His agent to them and their teacher of His way of life.

May we stay clear of that which steals, kills and destroys. Our Father desires to give us a long life indeed.

Side Effects

 

How many people know that they must read the label before using any product especially those with medical implications? How many actually read that label when say getting a prescription from a doctor, but in truth they end up throwing the Must READ page in the drawer to be read either later, tomorrow or never!

Said person then goes and takes the medication with a faith in the Doctor and never learning to read nor understand what that product might contain for ill health say as to worsening symptoms or even death! Then some would say , “well he is the doctor” and I would agree if he has all his degrees and credentials, but I am the other adult in the room and not a child to speak about such things. Thinking as the man that he is practicing medicine is practicing on you and you really need to know if he is really qualified. This appears just like the sports enthusiast who wants to be named to the NBA or named to the roster of team like the Texas Rangers as their number one pitcher! Each are practicing and each can come into a place they have not known in to regard of health of the body and the injury that can occur to it! But going full on into any treatment and not knowing its effects is foolishness!

 

In watching any commercial for pharmaceuticals, those requiring drugs for ailments with such names you have never heard of, but only find that said drug from an pharmaceutical can have twenty harmful effects or more and one of them is that which includes death.

 

 But God’s word is to life and not to death. God’s word is health to us: Proverbs 4:20-27 NKJV  My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. 24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you. 25 Let your eyes look straight head, and your eyelids look right before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. 27 Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil.

 

Health is what is good to maintain life. Putting God’s word in our hearts helps us to maintain that good health. His Word directs us into His thoughts and His ways! Have been watching the Chosen series again as the second season has started up again. And in watching these, I am reminded of Jesus ministering to all the lame, maimed and blind who came to see Him. In the series, they write of the disciples of those staying close by but not actually standing in close perimeter to Jesus as He ministers life to each person. In one specific one we saw over the weekend was where the disciples had to keep watch over those standing in line to see Jesus and it is no different today to the fighting and the bickering with people wanting something from Jesus and wanting to get to Him quickly. Yet, Jesus set forth the Father’s plan for healing and wholeness for the body to those seeking relief! We receive from Him knowing He is the Healer! It should never be about Him giving for the sake of giving but because our trust is Him to do what He said He would do!

So back to that medicine you are required to take, and have you ever given thought to the truth of the health in God’s word or the prosperity that is available by adhering to His truth? How much better His word heals than a man-made product does!

What is so awesome about God and what He has given us in the Bible, is that it has the Beginning in God, it has the middle, that is today and it has Future and that is with Jesus. No other religion has the God at the END……..where life continues with the LORD! Unless you have a living God, you have nothing! Unless our thoughts and ways come from God, we end up going around the mountain with no exit signs to get off from the monotony of the world. Monotony is hearing and doing the same thing expecting a different  result! I think that is why I love the series Chosen because it shows people wanting to learn the word of God and to speak it, to see it used and see the power of it now. We are to minister life to the world and not join it!

 

Ephesians 6:10-18 NKJV  10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

WE put on the divine nature of God to stand against the enemy who can and will use others to terrorize. We put on God’s character: His wisdom,  His will, His thoughts, His justice, His faithfulness, His righteousness, knowing He is all bountiful, all sufficient Who is revealed in Jesus. He who makes bitter experiences sweet being set apart to His plan and purpose for good, it is He who knew us from our mother’s womb.  He and His peace carries a peace which transcends all understanding, and garrisons and mounts guard over our heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 6:14 Stand, therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints---19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly as I ought to speak.

From verse 15 having shod our feet with gospel of peace, Jesus washed the disciples feet, He had already given them God’s word and continued to speak it to them. But He washed their feet, found in John 13:3-17. A concrete action, set in God, set in servant-hood, with a humble heart. Jesus is God and Jesus served as the servant with humility and much grace. Side effects would be in the grace to spread a testimony in the love of the Lord. Jesus gave instruction to them but He also gave them examples in love.

 

I think of David who would become king in the land of Israel. He the shepherd boy would take down a military might. He went to the valley where the giant stood, but David looked further into God his father. He, David gave accounts of his hours with the God of Israel. He wrote the book of Psalms and he gave prayers to his feet to run. He spoke and brought light to those in darkness.  Prayers to converse with God whether he was in dire straits, or far from his home, he found the words that spoke to God and God answered them.

He wrote in Psalm 25:9 The humble He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way. In this Psalm David was giving a plea for deliverance from his enemies and forgiveness. Whatever problems King David had within his heart, His nation would have troubles too. He mentions of deliverance from bondage's for Israel but we also know spiritual bondage's can appear too. What effects the world can have on anyone is to know this: fear is expecting the devil to move but faith is expecting the Lord. I heard many people speaking that they were waiting for the other shoe to drop, that is: they were expecting the devils tactics!

The devil certainly can be an architect for evil since he is the father of evil. Known also as an angel of light…..found in 2 Corinthians 11:14. He was found early on in Cain, son of Adam. Then the lineage continued to the Tower of Babel where many were set against God. But the line of Seth was godly, set for God to run the course for good. Washed feet is free from that which might attach to our walk with God. Washed feet is kept for God’s business and not for the enemy: the devil!

 Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is our Way in this day, this week, this month, this year and forever. He is truth that delivers us from bondage's so that we can minister life to the world, not be one with the world.

In Psalm 25:12-15 David wrote this: Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. 13 He himself shall dwell in prosperity ( meaning goodness), and His descendants shall inherit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him. 15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.

He teaches in the way He chooses. There is spiritual prosperity. Truth is found in the mercy of God. His secret counsel is with close friendships, not one weekly meeting with the crowd. David, when bringing food to his brothers and those in the military facing Goliath, David looked beyond Goliath, he looked beyond the harsh words his eldest brother Eliab spoke to him that day. A harsh word can be spoken by someone close to you so that you are reminded to what side you are on! And one can choose the harmful effects of answering its call or you can refuse them and stay with God for the purpose set in your run with Him.

Some side effects of drugs: is the risk of having a stroke, profuse bleeding, can cause problems with surgery due to a medical or dental procedure, cannot be taken with pain meds as for headaches or other. Can cause joint pain, swelling that dizzy feeling or feeling weak. May cause swelling in feet and face. To some, the possibility of paralysis, numbness, tingling and oh yes, that problem it gives to your liver and kidneys. Yikes!

 But with God’s word, going into your heart and being spoken out of your mouth, you have chosen life and not death. You have chosen your kidneys and liver to be strong! It is choosing the Healer. It is choosing life with the effects of our growth in the Lord. It is the place in Him where our souls find rest in Him alone for our hope comes from HIM. 

We, Your people , Father, clothe ourselves as Your own picked representatives and Your chosen ones, who are purified and holy and well-beloved by You  are putting on the behavior that is merciful, and tenderhearted. In gentleness and patience, we have the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper. We are fore bearing with each other and if having any grievance with one another, are readily active to pardon each other. As You Lord, have freely forgiven us, so do we also forgive.

The Word spoken, alive and active has its home in our hearts.  It is Jesus Who sits on the throne of our hearts and that word dwells in us in all richness , as we teach, admonish, and train each other in all insight, intelligence and wisdom in spiritual songs, making melody to You, Father, with Your grace in their hearts.

Side Effects of moving away from God are those with darkness, agony with the heat of hell breathing out destructive forces. It will appear as a reality: the place of outer darkness, a place of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. A place created not for people but for the devil and his angels. ( Matthew 25:41)

 

Side Effects of the world are seen daily who choose to follow a sinful life, who persists in siding with the flesh but siding with God is love and being full of unspeakable joy. It is healing and health, strength and courage, it knowing when to stay silent and then when to speak. It is knowing by discernment the move of God! 2022 is not the year to be deceived by satan. He as light can make you think about the light of God, but he will force one or more of his own designs into the pot and when deceived by them, one can choose to follow him without any arm-twisting. But 2022 is the year for the believer with no side effects, those of the Lord’s where they move in the way of truth and grace. We arrive on the wings of Holy Spirit’s power to be in right places at right times for the plan of God. May we not be committed to that which causes side effects to death, but that which is to life and see with the light that shines at noonday in Jesus name. Amen.
