Jeremiah 34:
Control
The children of Israel polluted the name of the Lord by being possessive to control God’s people for material gain and by breaking a serious vow to give complete liberty to God’s people. Where the Spirit is Lord there is liberty. This is because there is not destructive grasping state of being that issues in choices contrary to love which chooses the highest good. But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids. (3:16)

June 4, 2014 Wednesday
Amos 3:
Control vs Intimacy
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (vs. 7)
God points out that Israel is living in absolute denial of the reality of sin and enmity against God that they are living in and that this is far more severe because they once knew Him and now have denied Him. (1-6) On the other hand, God reveals his secrets to them who have a close relationship with Him such as the prophets. “Surely the LORD GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” (Vs. 7)

Luke 11:
Focus
It is the right focus of the eye of the heart in singleness that allows our spiritual body to be full of light in the sense that we are able to fully know right from wrong and be rightly directed unto to ultimate good who is God and therein our ultimate destiny of good. What stops us from asking and receiving is the failure to keep prevailing to ask that indicates our real heart belief and focus as indeed in the goodness of God.

Luke 15:
Let us never lose sight of the fact that God is our source like the self-righteous son who could not rejoice over the return of the lost son that repented of his sin and confessed his unworthiness of the mercy of his father. If the self righteous son really respected his father as his source he would have had great respect to his father and recognized the mercy and goodness of his father to grant him all that he became in status as a son and had. Rather he lost his thankfulness and got his eyes on the expectations of what pleased his father which resulted in a response of mere performance rather than relationship out of respect and thankfulness of perceiving from his heart who is father really was to him with such love towards him that issued in his well being in provision from his father. It is putting our eyes on the expectations out of performance to please God that is the law that is idolatrous in self performance, self works which is out of self trust which in fact is self-glory and self-worship. If the self righteous son would have recognized how nothing he was without the goodness of his father and of the father’s judgment and disciplining of him that was tempered with mercy to have brought him to maturity as a son with inheritance, this would has not happened. On the other hand the prodigal son did not even seek to please his father and certainly did not at all recognize or appreciate who his father was. Nevertheless, he came to recognize through the consequences of reaping what he sowed the holiness of God and thus of his need for mercy and thereby recognized and received the great mercy of God. This is the right recognition of God in the integrity of God’s love in judgment that therein is the foundation for God’s love in absolute integrity to be transcendent in mercy which is the genuine fear of God. This is what keeps us in the way of abiding in God as our source.

Galatians 1:
The genuine gospel is the good news that we are saved unto eternal fulfillment from hell through repentance out of the fear of God leading to faith in God’s atoning sacrifice for sin in His Son on the cross and not by our self effort of performance to please God which is a state of self-trust and thus self-glory. To preach without these basic truths would be a perversion of the gospel and would be grounds for God’s curse on such.

June 10, 2014 Tuesday
Psalms 26:
It is vital to walk in genuine integrity before God and also to trust the LORD because then we will not fall into the deception of temptation, presumption and sinful backsliding away from God. This requires that we examine ourselves before God and ask God to prove and try the motivations of our heart out of perceiving and focusing on the loving kindness of God through all these things. This means that we hate what God hates so that we do not compromise but remove ourselves from even sitting in the same place with those that are vain, dividers and evil doers. Those that are in this way godly, love the place of God’s habitation and where God’s honor dwells also. Our place in the gathering of the congregation of the LORD is then solid and immoveable and we can know that God will redeem us and be merciful to us.

Jeremiah 7:
The thing that God commanded Israel was to obey His voice on the day He brought them out of Egypt. When God speaks He expects us to hearken and incline our heart to His voice. One way that God’s voice speaks is through his prophets. When God’s people harden their heart they can go the other way to the point of sacrificing their children to destruction because their heart is so hard they do not even love their children.

Psalm 43:
In a land where God’s people are idolatrous there is great oppression that can bring us to the place of mourning. We should not think this a mystery. Rather let us focus on God as our exceeding joy with worship and songs with instruments and let us choose to hope in God and recognize God as the health of our countenance.

Mark 7:
Holiness which is the perfection of God’s love with integrity is purified through the process of cleansing ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. Filthiness of spirit is often manifested in strange and weird behavior in supposed worship towards God which is void of reverence towards God.

Job 41 and 42:
DEF: Eliphaz the Temanite meaning God of find gold and southerner.
Bildad the Shuhite: confusing by mingling and depression
Zophar the Naamathite: departing early, a climber.
Job’s questioning of God through the trial was brought to the place of deep repentance because it brought him to the place to see from the eye of his heart God as God really is which was a revelation of the holiness of God’s judgment. Job recognized the mercy of God towards him out of the recognition of God’s mercy which moved him to truly from his heart love and then forgive his friends. This brought the release of Jobs captivity and the blessing of God in far greater abundance than the first part of his life.

John 6:
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (vs 40)
There must be the right seeing of God first for there to be genuine belief in the Son of God.
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. (45)
Those that have heard and learned of the Father will see the Father which is the choice to rightly perceive God in His holiness and thereby in His mercy and goodness.
(John 6:57) As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. The genuine eating of God is the genuine reception of the being of Who God is in the integrity of God’s love in Holiness and in its transcendence in mercy to one personally. This focus of reception is in the atoning work of God’s being of love in holiness and mercy in Jesus Christ’s outpoured life of God in atoning sacrifice in his flesh and in his blood.

DEF: Seeth: G2334 θεωρέω theoreo (theh-o-reh’-o) v.
1. to be a spectator of, i.e. discern
{literally, figuratively (experience) or intensively (acknowledge)}
[from a derivative of G2300 (perhaps by addition of G3708)]
KJV: behold, consider, look on, perceive, see
Root(s): G2300, G3708
Compare: G3700, G1492
G2300 θεάομαι theaomai (theh-ah’-om-ai) v.
1. to look closely at
2. (by implication) to perceive
3. (by extension) to visit
{perceive literally or figuratively}
[a prolonged form of a primary verb]
KJV: behold, look (upon), see

June 18, 2014 Wednesday
John 5:
DEF: Hear:
G191 ἀούω akouo (ak-ou’-o) v.
1. to hear
{in various senses}
[a primary verb]
KJV: give (in the) audience (of), come (to the ears), (shall) hear(-er, -ken), be noised, be reported, understand
Those that receive into their heart the words that Christ spoke are those that have genuine heart belief in God for Who God truly is and as such are receptive to the life of God which brings eternal life and deliverance from death. ( vs 24) It is those that hear that shall live which means those that are receptive to take in the being of God in love that has integrity to judge and is transcendent in mercy. It is false motives such as seeking honor from one another that brings false motives and unbelief in God.

Colossians 1:
The grace of God comes through knowing the truth which reveals that absolute trustworthiness of God to be the source of ultimate love, non-ending life and power by the integrity of God’s love in holiness of required judgment that therefrom can issue forth in the perfection of creativity in non deserved mercy and favor of God to bring forth God’s corporate bride. For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: (vs 5,6) Light gives forth life because it is pure from destructiveness, in other words it is holy or pure to hold and emnate the being of God. We give thanks to the Father to have made us fit to be partakes of the inheritance of the saints in light. Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: (vs 12, 13)

In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister (vs 23)

1st Chronicles 4:
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. (vs.10)
Def: Jabez
H3258 יַעבֵּץ Ya`bets (yah-bates’) n/l.
1. sorrowful
2. Jabets, the name of an Israelite
3. also of a place in Israel
[from an unused root probably meaning to grieve]
KJV: Jabez.
Jabez new from his name, his background, and circumstances that his life could easily be filled with grief. He pleaded with God and also called on God to bless him and enlarge his territory of inheritance and that God would be with him. He was heard because he asked God to keep him from evil which in other words means he asked God to keep him in holiness because the root of grief is evil is unrighteousness which is a destructive condition of being.

James 5:
There are many injustices that even as true followers of Christ have been experienced and that we may experience. It is important that we do not take rightful vengeance into our own hands by grudging against one another but rather like the prophets have patience to endure these things. This is in recognition that God as the judge stands at the door of our life individually and also concerning his corporate body for eternity. We also should recognize that though God allows us to experience the consequences of His righteous anger against sin He is filled with mercy and goodness towards us to make our latter end blessed and good even as Job. We also need to be aware of bringing God’s judgment on our lives by the lack of the fear of God which causes us to make oaths that we would not keep. Sometimes this can cause sickness because of not rightly discerning God out of the fear of God and doing such things. In this case call for the elders of the church to pray and anoint such with oil so that God will heal them and remove the righteous consequences of His judgment in sickness from returning. We also need to have humility towards one another out of the fear of God to share one another’s faults so that we can release God’s healing towards one other through prayer for each other.

2nd Chronicles 14:
Asa had great victory before his enemies because he sought the Lord and removed all idols and all compromise that would displease the Lord. Asa conquered the enemy that greatly outnumbered them because he acknowledged the power was with God and not within their own strength and stated that he would rest on the Lord and would go against them in the name of the Lord.

1st Thessalonians 5:
We as children of light are not of that which is cut off from the light in darkness and destructiveness that leads to death. Therefore we should not allow ourselves to enter a state of sleep by being focused with our life on the cares of this life and its temporal pleasures of joy. Rather to stay in the light requires that we be sober to avoid entering the deception of pride and shallowness that leads to spiritual sleep. Being sober is a necessary foundation for putting on the armor of God such as protecting the decision center of our heart with faith coming out of response to perceiving the integrity and grace of God’s love and having hope that perseveres against hopelessness. Helmet of the hope of salvation receives God’s goodness over God’s acknowledged righteous wrath to us. It therefore does not have condemnation but have identity above all trials in Jesus Christ with the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:
We are to be in submission to the present powers of government in this world and not to speak derogatory of them even when they lead with foolishness or injustice. We do this out of recognition of the greatness of God’s mercy to us to have saved us from our evil and foolish life. God’s mercy that saved us did this by the word of God revealing our sin to us so that it could be washed away through repentance and allow our life to be regenerated back to the way it was created to be before the fall of Adam and Eve. In the continuance of this process there is also constant renewing with the fresh filling of God’s Holy Spirit. As such we should not allow ourselves to get into a mind and heart set with others that displays judgment and does not show mercy. For example, we should not be seeking or having arguments with others about issues that our minor because they hold no bearing that have lasting value and do not profit others. In fact people that are opinionated over such minor issues divide the body of Christ and are called heretics. If they refuse your reproof after the second time reject them as the body of Christ because this gives evidence that there is unrepentant sin in their life.

2nd Peter 2:
There are those that call themselves Christians that misrepresent God and Christ to this world by justifying immorality, covetousness and material gain as pleasing to God. Such that claim to be prophets and teachers are false prophets and teachers. Such people secretly bring in false teachings to justify their covetousness by coming to Christian gatherings and beguiling unstable souls. Such are filled with lust towards women and cannot cease from sin such as committing adultery. What out for prosperity teachings that equate godliness with material gain.
