Praise God!
The format for Daily Memo From The Father
is to allow the Holy Spirit be our teacher and our counselor. Is this
not what He, The Lord Jesus Christ, tells us in very plain and simple
words? Let us each allow Him to give the
assignments; The Holy Spirit will teach; and from Him, will we receive Heavenly
Wisdom and Heavenly Understanding, (1 Corinthians 1: - 3:); for each of us who are born of the
Spirit, truly have an ear to listen, a willing heart and are baptized in the
Holy Spirit by the pruning, winnowing and fire promised and show in Malachi
3: and fulfilled in Matthew 3: .
This is how we understand “Heavenly
Principals” - by the power of God in us and with us (John 3: and 14:) just as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ.
For this period, the third
week of the New Year; listen carefully to the Holy Spirit for His Heavenly
Wisdom and Guidance. Allow Him to open
your mind, your eyes and your heart to what He will show you. Please read in context the first half of The Gospel of John.
John 14: - 17: is the basis for the teachings in 1 Corinthians 1: - 3:; if
one does not truly understand this and hold it in their own heart, it very
easily allows the reader to lean on his or her own understanding (Proverbs 3 :) which produces or allows one to concur easily to
the many doctrines that are just not of God but simply the religious teachings
of man. Understand when one choses
to fractionate any of scripture and not read His Word in context with the only
foundation being the Lord Jesus Christ’s own words in the four gospels, this
can and does bring about many doctrines, understandings and conjectures which
may appear very religious but they are simply not of Him.
Further when we do not read His
Word in Context; for those who are born again and have been baptized by the
Holy Spirit and fire, it opens the door to allow the enemy and our own selfish
pride to bring many different “human viewpoints” and “religious teachings” into
our understanding. It does not matter
how well intended our motives may be, or how many others may agree. If you do
not see this then ask yourself why do we find in in the “Christian Religion” there are so many conflicting viewpoints and
disagreements, denominations and fractures?
The Holy Spirit of The Living God is
not the author of confusion.
Do you believe The Holy Spirit gives more than one truth to
any matter? Of course not, how could it be?
Truth is truth and it does not change or it is not truth. Half-truths take
over when we add our own spin or human viewpoint and no matter how sincere we
may be; it still is not truth. Don’t you
see a half-truth is no truth at all. (Hear
and understand that very little has changed with the religious teachers and
leaders of our time from those the Lord Jesus encountered when He walked this
earth.)
Also understand that we are sinful
and prideful as humans, each and every one of us. That is our nature because we come into this
world born of the flesh. But Praise God:
He judges the heart, motive and intent of each of us. If we are willing to believe in Him and His
Son whom He sent then He is willing to change that nature and we truly are born
again of the Spirit of the Living God. Lord we ask that you give
us ears to hear and eyes to see that which is of You; our Lord, Savior and
King.
His Word has shown us clearly that
we are not to follow the teachings
of Paul or Apollos, or any other human, and that includes today religious
leaders, the “Church Fathers” (why are we so lax about
calling them “Fathers” when the Lord Himself told us to “call no man Father” - Matthew 23:) and for
that matter - this writer as well, unless their words, actions and doctrines
align perfectly with the full Word of God. And, if they do, then it is not man’s
teachings we are listening to but to
that which is of God and is God, His Word! No man
is to interpret His Word, that is only for the Holy Spirit of the Living God (2
Peter 1:). It is His Word, His Son and His Spirit we are to follow in
our thoughts, words and deeds. The
last chapter of Ecclesiastes is a very direct warning - “The conclusion,
when all has been heard, is fear God and keep His commandments, because this
applies to every person.” Ecclesiastes.
12:13 (read the entire chapter)
No matter the intellect, the wisdom
or the knowledge one may have or try to achieve, the natural man (or woman)
cannot understand the things of God. The
religious titles we invoke upon ourselves through denominations, organizations
and seminaries have little bearing on the Kingdom of Heaven and Heavenly
things. It is only those who are born of
the Spirit and have went through the fire of His Baptism with the pruning hook
, winnowing fork and the chaff being
burned with unquenchable fire; who will have the ears to hear and eyes to see
what the Holy Spirit is saying and showing us.
Always ask the Holy Spirit of the Living God with you and in you for the
interpretation of His Word, and then be patient to listen and read His Word and
study His Word for confirmation. Ask
that He may teach you about heavenly things; giving heavenly wisdom and
heavenly understanding. Listen carefully
for His still small voice. “My Sheep Hear My Voice and to Another They
Will Not Listen” (John 10:) Remember; always test the spirits just as we are instructed
by His Word in the Book of 1 John.
Please, please and with all
sincerity PUT ASIDE - ALL RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS AND RELIGIOUS
UNDERSTANDINGS! All means all; rely only
upon that which He shows you directly and confirms in you and in His Word.
This is very difficult to do, and
most of us do not even realize we rely upon, and in many cases are entrenched
in a life time of, half-truths and the wisdom of man for most of our
understanding of what we believe about The Kingdom of Heaven and Heavenly things.
However, If you are willing to ask,
but more importantly if you are willing to listen with an open and contrite
heart; He will begin the refining process in you, burning out the natural
nature and the religious understanding, teachings and doctrines one so
desperately clings to. He will prune and
winnow each of us by burning the chaff with unquenchable fire that we may have the
eyes to see and ears to hear HIS Pure Word and His Pure Truth. It all begins and ends with The Lord Jesus
Christ. (Please - Call Him Lord if
He is truly your Lord)
Inquire of the Lord to remove the veil from your eyes that
you may see His Power, His blessings and ask that He may clearly show you why
He sent His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ to this earth and why He gave us the Holy Spirit to be with us and in us?
What does The Holy
Spirit specifically tell us regarding the interpretation of Scripture? (If you have a New American
Standard Bible, please read both 1 John and 2 John)
Who are the Holy
Spirit helpers with us? (John 14: - 17: and The
Book of Hebrews)
Please plant His Pure Word in your heart?
The Lord Jesus
Christ rules and reigns from heaven through the Holy Spirit with us on
earth. Our obedience is to believe in
His life, death, resurrection and ascension into heaven. This Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven will
continue to be preached to every living soul on earth until The Father in His
and His alone, perfect timing tells His Son to go and get His Bride.
All of Scripture confirms.
The Lord Jesus Christ’s own words confirm, and the signs and wonders He
has sent us also confirm this up until this very day, simply by observing world
history.
Thank you Father for your Word, the
Son of God whom you sent to us that we
(those who are willing), may be reconciled to you and become your sons and
daughters; heirs of the King of the Universe.
When your Son, the Son of God and The Son of Man came to us, He came as
a man, born of a virgin and lived a life as an ordinary man. Isaiah 53: He came and
completely fulfilled the Law and the Prophets (Read the
last several chapters of Luke, the Lord Himself tells us this very clearly.) He was sinless, He
said and did only that which He saw and heard you do Father. He faced the same
trial and temptations we face every day, yet He remained faithful to the Father
and the Father was well pleased. So
much; that speaking from Heaven the Father said so in an audible voice to the
witnesses present; and for the entire universe to hear. Matthew 3:, Mark 9:, John 12: . “This is My Son; Listen to Him” Thank you Lord for the many blessings and
Thank you Lord for the gift of salvation through your Son and for the Holy
Spirit living with us and in us.
The Holy Spirit is your
teacher. Be a good student.
All To His Glory
