Tune Out to Tune In!!!!!

When we Walk as Believers then we know the value of Shhh!!!  Yes silence (quiet)!!!! Why?? So we can tune out all of the noise that bombards us daily so we can hear what our Father’s will is for us.   This connection requires that we spend time with the Most High.  Why??   So that our repentant heart and renewed mind can continue to be fed so we grow in His word and we can move there by.  Don’t get caught off guard but strive to remain in His shalom through taking time out to tune in!!!!

Proverbs 1:33“But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”

Scripture for Meditation:

Psalm 119:99

Like water off a ducks back

       

 Shake it Off!  When you face something in your life sent by the adversary to distract and disarm you it is your job to Shake it off! People will often do or say things without even thinking about how it may affect you. What place you're in, where you're coming from, what you were dealing with before you even came into contact with them; but the enemy knows. His emissaries are always around. watching, waiting for a moment when you are letting your spiritual guard down and focus on your feelings instead of the spiritual purpose.

Ecclesiastes 3:1“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”

Romans 8:28AMPAnd we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.

 Responding in grace & humility. Grace -simple elegance or refinement of movement. Humility-

a modest or low view of one's own importance; humbleness.

synonyms:

modesty, humbleness, meekness, diffidence, unassertiveness;

  Finding a way to respond to a difficult situation with grace and humility often means keeping your pain to yourself and choosing an action that will resolve the situation in a way that leaves both parties in a peaceful state is part of what Christ meant by blessed are the peacemakers.

Romans 12:18 - If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Matthew 7:12 - Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Colossians 3:15 - And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

James 3:

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Putting things in perspective. When we put ourselves in a servant mindset we are all the more careful in our behavior toward others. No that doesn't mean lying or not speaking the truth, but it does mean knowing how to frame our words so that they will be received as intended. We must keep our focus on what is pleasing to the Father not to our flesh.

Firstfruits

Proverbs 3:9“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

” First fruits/Feast of Weeks  Found in Leviticus 23:15 falls this week according to the Enoch calendar. We keep this feast as a memorial of the in gathering and of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. We keep this feast by gathering together and feasting and Honoring the Most High.

Leviticus 23:9-22, Exodus 34:22, Exodus 23:16, Deuteronomy 16:9-12, Joshua 5:11, Acts 2:1-11, Act 20:16, Luke 24:49, John 14:16-17; 26, John 15:26, Acts 2nd chap

Leviticus 2:14“And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.”

Numbers 18:12“All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.”

James 1:18“Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”

If not you then who????

Proverbs 22:6“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child. Who is teaching your child? Who is guiding your child? Who is talking to your child? What are they learning every day? What are they learning in school? What are they learning about the Most High? What are they learning about the Scriptures? What do they know? What don't they know? What would they like to learn? Do you know? Have you asked? Have you spent the time getting to know your child? Do you know where they stand with the Most High? If you were taken today, would you be sure that they would make it based on what you have taught them? Would they know where to look for answers? Knowledge is power and is the only thing that cannot be taken from you.

Deuteronomy 6:6-8“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.”

1 Timothy 5:8“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”

Complaining

Numbers 11:1“And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.”

The children of Israel had left Egypt. They had been freed from the threat of violence and oppression. There was going to be freedom to worship the creator of everything. They had been freed from their normal....

Numbers 21:5“ And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.”

Then they started complaining. The Most High had just finished completing a series of miracles in their lives. He had defeated their life long enemy. He had made provision for their needs via manna. He had allowed them across water that they should've never been able to cross.  But now they had come to a time of testing. Life seemed mundane. They wanted some excitement. They missed the seasoning of Egypt. They wanted meat!!!! So the Most High provided.  Still, they were ungrateful.  It wasn't enough. 

They wanted the Most High to come to their level.  Understand that even tho all they had been through should've been a testament to the power of the Most High, that life was too hard right now. They were restless they were hungry and: are we there yet???!!!! How long is this going to take????

So in his wrath, he sent fiery serpents!! Only then did they recognize their error and repent, for a time As humans it doesn't seem to matter how much The Fathe does for us we continue to get ourselves into trouble with our mouths.

Ephesians 4:29“Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” 

 

 1 Peter 3:10“For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:” 

 

 

Psalms 141:3“Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.”

Are you seen by the Father?

Deuteronomy 6:24“And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.”

John15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

 When we abide in Christ it is his righteousness that the Father sees. In order to abide in him, we must do what he does.

Isaiah 59:2“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”

Is the Father seeing you it is your sin closing his view?

Acts 3:19“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;”

Ecclesiasticus 32:14“Whoso feareth the Lord will receive his discipline; and they that seek him early shall find favour.”

 Ecclesiasticus 18:14“He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, and that diligently seek after his judgments.”
