Comforter (Lover of my soul)
Matthew 24:35 (KJV) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Psalm 18:28 (KJV) For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
Very fitting it was as it takes the Lord to light the way even, and with all going on it seems very dark. Then I was given "yet a little while" the exact phrase is in scripture 8 times Ps 37:10 did speak to me but it was Jeremiah the next verse that stood out as fighting is going on over there and it mentions the harvest.
Jeremiah 51:33 (KJV) For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
So encouragement that the Lord is hearing me. Again the "Only You" so I went to play Him the song that came to me as I am telling Him this all the time.
Psalm 100:4 (KJV) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
I think we fail to do this that David mentions I know even for myself I will go through times forgetting all He has done for us.
Now I hear "forget not His benefits" and again from Psalms.
Psalm 103:2 (KJV) Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
I saw that and went to get the hymn "Bless the Lord O My soul and all that is within me" and had to play it to Him.
So this the start of my day, I hope it encourages you as it did me.
A great word and obviously Yeshua is repeating Himself, so were people listening. But, what does a person like myself not involved with churches or around people of faith, did Yeshua make a provision for just an individual? Yes He did, but it is conditional. So is there help for individuals today that keeps you in Yeshua's words? Not really. Everything today is centered around Paul or men where the church is concerned so you are left with doing for yourself what is missing and that is Jesus words. People like the fellowship of Christians' or participate in serving the Lord there. This is fine, but do you know Jesus? Abiding means what to Jesus?... well the scripture says it, it requires His words to abide in you to even abide in Him:
John 15:7 (KJV) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
One of the things I have never seen taught or do you ever hear mentioned regarding the church is the scripture where Christ says depart from me I never knew you
Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
So what does it take then? Well He tells you that too:
John 8:31 (KJV) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Continue in who's word? If you do these things, I can guarantee you that when Christians' mention to you words from Paul, you will find yourself as I was saying to them ?but Jesus said this" and who are you going to believe?
Yeshua makes it clearer in the book of Revelations mentioning all of them within one verse:
Revelation 12:9 (KJV) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
So Satan is also known as the Devil to people and he has his own band of angels that follow him. It is mentioned in the book of Enoch that the number that fell away from God was 1/3. Satan wanting to be God and replace God to be worshipped. Are they spirits? Yes but angels are also called messengers of God, so Satan mimics God and has his own messengers.
Yeshua also mentions so is surrounded by devils and spells out that there is no truth in them, He even called us evil that I went into on another post. Yet a description is here:
John 8:44 (KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The other thing this makes me wonder, is, are we doing properly in casting out devils, people bind Satan and cast him out usually but are all demons meaning those fallen angels with him called Satan? As I recall Yeshua asked and found one full of evil spirits and the name was Legion. Also, the word for devils that Yeshua said to cast out are spirits that is the meaning of that particular word.
Searching the scriptures for ourselves cause us to wonder about all that is just taught and accepted. Heck most churches don't even bind Satan in a service let alone cast out devils or even use the term. Then we wonder why we don't see miracles from God, are we following instructions? Some give up and not search for understanding sometimes for me anyway when the Lord said "look up" I think it might have been to look up words not just seeing the sky and not just to make you feel good.In Greek: a dæmonic being; by extension a deity:—devil, god. and in Hebrew: a dæmon or supernatural spirit (of a bad nature):—devil.
So what all did Yeshua have to say about evil?
Yeshua said many things and I will list several, however one of the greatest shockers to me that He said about Himself I was shocked in because the church teaches He was perfect never sinning etc. and He said:
Matthew 19:17 (KJV) And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
With a statement like that you then wonder if Yeshua Himself repented at His baptism. He probably did as even God Himself repented I saw "repented" you can scroll see how many times in the law and in the prophets. So did God Himself set the example that hardly a soul did in the old testament? And how many times did that happen? How many times did you see a person repented? While you are there look up the word "repent".
Yeshua Himself spoke of evil in the book of Matthew 17 times and in the book of John 6 times. So why do I not mention the other Gospels, well I have said many times but Yeshua only prayed for His chosen discipels in John 17 and the only books we have of them for gospels and their words are those two books. They were told to preach the Gospel not argue with churches. I highly recoment you view the link to see for yourself.
What was thought about Satan and the devil I will go into on a different post. Just know by what you read here we are indeed evil. God is not a man that He should lie.
health, prosperity, peace:—× do, familiar, × fare, favour, friend, × great, (good) health, (× perfect, such as be at) peace(-able, -ably), prosper(-ity, -ous), rest, safe(-ty), salute, welfare, (× all is, be) well, × wholly.
Yeshua himself said He would give us peace:
John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
So I, not hearing from the Lord this morning but did ask if He had a word for me or His people, I finally did hear a word "continue" this I did know was the scripture:
John 8:31 (KJV) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
A word from the Lord can be just one word that I was to continue my work, why? well for myself I don't know about you, I do continue in Yeshua's words above all else that is added I am first in His words. Are you? Some say they have already read the gospels and don't need to be there any more, but that is not what was said here, continue means to me to stay in His words. That is what the Holy Spirit is for also stated there:
John 14:26 (KJV) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Who's words does it say here? Who's words do you hear? Mans teachings or Yeshua's?
Then I notice it says it was spoken to Jews and believe it or not on forums I have heard so called Christians believe Jewish people are damned because they don't believe in Jesus. They will also say the book of James was written to Jews and does not apply to them, they all call themselves gentiles and say Paul is the only way and one to listen to. Only he was the apostle to the gentiles. Yet the book of Revelations mentions thoughes that call themselves apostles and are not. Who was the Lord Talking about? It is the church that not only had an angel but 7 stars.Well the only way to know is by testing all things with out of the mouth of God. Yeshua said He sent prophets and Paul was not a prophet so who do you believe? For myself I believe what Yeshua said. What about you?
I pray you all have a blessed day, I do need to get back to the work I am doing for the Lord.
Matthew 11:25 (KJV) At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Well my thoughts back to the Lord was so why didn't you send babes? What did you send? Well He knows what He sent same as I do, prophets, wise men, and scribes. He even used the word Behold. So I was led to look up the Greek meaning of "babes" and this was the meaning:
from an obsolete particle νή- nḗ- (implying negation) and G2031; not speaking, i.e. an infant (minor); figuratively, a simple-minded person, an immature Christian:—babe, child (+ -ish).
It was the simple-minded person that stood out to me, person means adult to me. I then went looking further and looked up the meaning of "wise":
from G5424; thoughtful, i.e. sagacious or discreet (implying a cautious character; while G4680 denotes practical skill or acumen; and G4908 indicates rather intelligence or mental acquirement); in a bad sense conceited (also in the comparative):—wise(-r).
I thought ok wow I learned something about babes and the wise you sent. Thank you for drawing me to looker upper, you were right I was wrong forgive me. After these things I did look up in the English asking even AI and the word "babe" is used as a term of endearment usually between a husband and wife. Well I know but you might not, the Lord told Israel He was a husbandman to them Yeshua knew it John 15:1 and He also mentioned He had put Mother away Isa 50:1. So maybe you might understand why once again I was given a secular song I did go and play when I heard "I got you babe" it is a song by Sonny and Cher so I will add it:
