Isaiah 38:17-19 ( KJV )
Vs. 17 Indeed it was for my own peace. That I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
Vs.18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Vs.19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
Spirit is delivering us from the pit of corruption & cast all my sins behind my back.
Yes, at times it is bitter, Yes, at times we suffer. But, we are overcomers.
Grave cannot praise thee.
Death cannot celebrate thee.
They that go down into the pit cannot hope for death.
It’s the living he shall praise thee
The Father of the children shall make known the truth. This truth will set us free, it will free us from this cycle of death.
Isaiah 40:28-31 ( KJV )
Vs. 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Vs. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Vs. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Vs. 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
The power to mount up with wings as eagles is the pledge for complete
Renewal as it receives the promise The fullness of the Spirit
“Birth of the Spirit”.
Proverbs 3:3-8 ( KJV )
Vs. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
Vs. 4 So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Vs. 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Vs. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Vs. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Vs. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
This promise health to your navel
Health in the navel.
It is the spiritual contact as one receives nourishment & instruction from God.
“Blessed is he who hungers and thirsts after righteousness.” We have the promise of the fullness of God.
Health in the navel is the umbilical cord to God. Physical navel has no meaning
or use in the life of any living individual after it completes its physical function of
of feeding the infant body in preparation for birth in this world, that is the end of its function and use. ( remember we are talking about the birthing of the Christ in you which is your hope and Glory)
But as we hunger and thirst after righteousness , the spiritual umbilical cord is
established & one begins to receive divine nourishment for growth & nourishment for the soul.(soul means psyche , your mind must put on the mind of Christ.)
The Mother does not push the food into the infant within her womb. Rather it
draws its nourishment as needed, through the umbilical cord. So is our spiritual
growth. Must hunger and thirst in order to develop that contact with the umbilical cord that draws from spiritual supply.
It is through this health of the navel & hungering & thirsting after righteousness
Than can one open up the channel that one can be prepared to be born of the Spirit.
As we are given new truths & knowledge. (Father will lead you to Christ or
The Christ center) Christ will reveal the Father which lifts you to the mind of Christ & the all knowing.
“They shall comprehend all things.”
Man is truly the Temple of the living God.
Man begins his journey along that secret, inner path. Toward the Kingdom of heaven, which is within.
We are told by Christ- the straight and narrow way Path, which few find, leads to life eternal.
As we travel this path seeking that Kingdom & righteousness, he establishes
every right principle within his own being.
When this established God will unveil His face to that individual.
There are those, through their searching or hungering have been given small portions of truth & believe they know all truths.
Isaiah 28 we are told truth is revealed line upon line, precept upon precept,
Here a little, there a little, until one comes into the full knowledge of the truth.
Jesus said, ”He that keeps His commandments receives truth & light, until
He is Glorified in truth & knows all things.
To many of the religious world, remain in-mature & never achieve the
full power from on high. They have not been adequately prepared for the abundant life. The birth comes forth still born as far as spiritual functioning is concerned.
They never achieve full power of their own divine destiny. We must always
Stay teachable, learning the ways of the Lord.
Christ in you is your hope, But, the Christ as you is the GLORY!
We must “ hunger and thirst” until we know God and establish within ourselves
The very power of Life eternal & be prepared to be “BORN OF THE SPIRIT”,
“COMPREHEND ALL THINGS AND KNOW ALL TRUTH” – THE FULL TRUTH & will be endured with power from on high as we go forth to do the greater works.
These prepared ones will never be braggarts nor self-righteous. But, authority
Has been given to us, we have the word to speak healing, Father hears us & does
the work by the spirit.
Those who ceased to “hunger & thirst” believing they have received all-truths & therefore are no longer interested in “ asking, seeking or finding” are DAMNED1
Their progress has stopped. Damnation is but the stopping of one’s own journey toward perfection and fulfillment . It is a condition of unwholesomeness.
We are to become HOLY. Holy means to be WHOLE1 The fullness of the God head. That is the image of God. It is time for the resurrection of who we really are,
IN HIM.
The journey along that STRAIGHT AND NARROW WAY is based on Faith.
Also the practice of the two commandments of LOVE.
Now we are being taught of God, and to KNOW ALL THE TRUTH AND BE FILLED WITH LIGHT AND COMPREHEND ALL THINGS.
Psalms 118:15-22 ( KJV )
Vs.15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
Vs.16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
Vs.17 I SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE AND DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD,
Vs. 18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
Vs. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
Vs. 20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
Vs. 21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
Vs. 22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
IT IS TIME TO LIVE,
