MEM

This series of messages is mainly meant for the brotherhood in Messiah. The Scripture verses are just a reference and a reminder to fully study the context in His Word for a better understanding. The goal is to stir in us a zealous desire to know God and His Word; to obey and to hone our relationship with Him; to be able to hear the voice of His Spirit, as we prepare to reign with our King at His return.

For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22 "Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

God’s Word tells us that if any man lacks wisdom he can ask of Him and receive it. Do we assume that receiving wisdom from Him is a protracted and uncertain process? It does not have to be, and there is nothing in God’s Word that suggests that it is. He has a great sense of timing, and if we seek wisdom from Him He can provide it immediately if needed. Abide in Him and we will be prepared to receive direction from Him when we need it, for we do not know when we will face a situation that requires us to respond quickly to His prompting, but if we walk with Him at all times, we will be ready when the time comes.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Do we see how this was manifested in His life? So much of His ministry centered around words. The crowds marveled at the gracious words He spoke. Soldiers sent to apprehend Him returned to their superiors' empty handed saying, "Never a man spoke like this". He (The Word) spoke to the storm and calmed it, and to the tree and it withered. When He made a difficult statement that resulted in some of His followers departing, Peter faced the same choice and replied, 'To whom shall we go? For you have the words of life.' Do you see that this is still true? Listen to the words of life He yet speaks to us.

"Do not let your peace depend on the words of men. Their thinking well or badly of you does not make you different from what you are. Where are true peace and glory? Are they not in Me? He who neither cares to please men nor fears to displease them will enjoy great peace, for all unrest and distraction of the senses arise out of disorderly love and vain fear."
― Thomas ΰ Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

Rev 21:12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. 14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
