Proverbs 6 - Becaus of Adultery (pt 1)

   4 .. Because of Adultery (pt1)


V20 “..My son, keep your father’s command, And do not forsake the law of your mother..”

Ephesians 6 v1&2 “..Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honour your father and mother..”

Tell me this, growing up did your parents say, ‘hey, look, did you know when you get married, you can still play, behind you partners back?’ NO. But kids do mirror their parents behaver & language. “..do not forsake the law of your mother..”

V21 “..Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck..” Here where it says to “..Bind them continually..” It means to Perpetually ~ Forever more ~ Eternity, or to stretch out for all time. When tells us “.Continually.” He means ‘without stopping’. “.Tie them around your neck..” For all to see.

V22 “..When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you..” When God tells us how to avoid temptation, like with today’s phones, that let us face time, no matter where you are Gods green Earth, with loved ones. Whether it’s staying up Country over night, in Europe some where, or half way round the World. “..When you roam..” Today there are no excuses. 

V23  “..For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life..” No matter where you go, no matter what you are going to do, DON’T. Have your Bible Not on a devise. You need your bible on your bed open, in your Hotel room, and left closed in your bag/suit case.

V24/9  When your constantly on the road, men & women, it can easily get loanly, whilst separated. I know us men are historically most guilty of this. V25 “.do not lust after her.” Once the line is crossed, there is NO going back. You partner will notice the difference in you, and the truth will always out. Remember, ‘it only takes ONCE to make a nuclear bomb, and everything will be destroyed.

“Keep you from the evil woman .. do not lust after her beauty .. nor let her alure you with eye lids..” (V24/7)   Before your eyes lock, before her perfume fill your nostrils, even before she laughs at a silly joke. Remember this, ‘there is expiry date on Adultery’. Keep this in the fore front of your mind, “..can a man take fire to his bossom, and his clothes not be burnt..” (V27)

Accessing Inspired Wisdom....1

Accessing Inspired Wisdom

 

 

Proverbs 20: 27  “. .The spirit of a man is the lamp of

the Lord . .”

 

Luke 11 : 33/36  “. .No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lamp stand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.  Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light. .”

  

   When you see a blind person out, They know when the pavement (sidewalk) ends at the road, yet the for the most part live in perpetual darkness. I have always marveled at them and wondered how many of us could survive a single day in their shoes? How lucky are we that we can light a candle, or, just flip a light switch when darkness falls. Once we light the candle it shines light upon an area you are in and helps you see where to go so as that you don’t stumble thus fall over. It has the power to chase away the darkness, as the darkness can’t stand against it.

 

   How many of you know or have sung the song, “I’m gonna lit this light of mine shine”?

Luke 11 v33  “. .No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it 

in a secret place or under a basket, but on a

lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. .”

 

   God will use this ‘candle’ to guide us, in effect God will use our inner man to guide us. The following are some occurrences of real guides. . .

-        The voice of the Holy Spirit is our conscience

-        Feelings are the voices of our body

-        Reasoning is the voice of our Soul

 

   Because of being ‘born-again’ we have Gods Spirit & graces already within us. This is free for us to tap into as much as we wish, so that we can fully trust our conscience (or our Lord Jesus voice). All we have to do is . . pause . . and listen . . and there it is . . the voice of our Lord Jesus guiding us.

 

   The next time we have a ‘hunch’ or, you a ‘gut feeling’.  STOP, and listen, as Jesus is trying to lead us/help us, only a fool would ignore such clear signs. So don’t stop, thus ending up in a mess or missing out on an opportunity of a life time.


   Trust in our Lord in order to begin to question us so we can receive what He has to freely . . give . . to lead us . . to instruct us. There is a parable which has found its way onto Birthday cards as a joke….

 

A man’s boat capsizes, a short while after he sees someone

on the beach. He starts waving franticly hoping this person

Will see him and get help, which the person dose. After which

a speedboat comes along and asks if they can save him. Only for

the man to decline, and tells them that Jesus is going to save

him, so the boat goes on leaving him behind in the water.

The Sea is getting a little cooler and more choppy as time

moves on, the guys is now calling out to his Lord God to save him. With that a large fishing vessel comes along, again they

call to the man asking if he wants to come on board? Yep

you guessed it, the man declines, again saying that his Lord

God is going to save him, so the fishing vessel leaves him

there. The Sea has now gone very cold and is rough, again he

calls out to Jesus to save him. He is getting weak now when he sees an helicopter looking for him. As they send a man down

to winch him up out of the Sea to safety the man waves

them away saying again the his Lord God is going to save him

and waves them away. With that the man drowns, and goes

up to Heaven, as he approaches the Pearly gates St Paul

is waiting for him. So he asks Paul what happened. To

which Paul says ‘you Were sent 2 boats and an helicopter

to save you, and yet you waved them away. What else was

 He (Jesus) to do?

 

Psalm 95 v7  “. .Today, if you will hear His voice:
Do not harden your hearts. .”


(AMP)1 Kings 3 v9  “. . an understanding mind. . . and an

hearing heart. .”

 

   What our Lord Jesus is trying to tell us is that no matter the bank balance, is that it cannot be bought by good deeds either. Though some may find what, is, needed is too difficult, for our Lord Jesus wants us to stop talking . . shut up . . be quite . . zip it . . say nothing. Simply by doing this we will find the answers to what ails us, when we take time to listen to Him, His grace will start to lead us by the Holy Spirit.

 

   Now moving in the same direction as the Holy Spirit, we start to feel empowered to become better, with more completed questions as we’re not drowning out Gods voice. The more we soften our hearts we can have a more receptive/hearing heart. In fact we will have at last a fully working ‘hear heart’.  

 

   Before we go on I want everyone to STOP, I want you to get the hang of this . . to be linked up to . . wired together . .  Hearts as one with Jesus.

#It’s time to stop whining, about what you

Don’t understand#

 

   There are those who really don’t want to know the truth, about where they are going to end up, as there those among us, that the truth would be too much for them to fathom & accept.

 

John 10 v27 “. .My sheep hear My voice . .”

 

   Hearing from our Lord Jesus is just as important as speaking to Him. So much so that once we truly know our Lord then the clearer & louder we will get to hear Him. We don’t always get to pick and choose when and where we hear from Him. You don’t need to be ready to receive when we do. But, just like a dry-sponge that soaks up the water, we do however need to act upon what He has said, for what He says is designed to pick you up and make you feel better about yourself. Or, it could be to deliver a message to someone you don’t know but who needs His words to help them. This is what I mean ‘to ready to act upon them’.

 

   Since being saved since 1998, I can say “ I know Him “ so that it no longer surprises me in the various places He will talk to me. .

-        Driving along in my car

-        On the Train/Bus/Plane

-        Even walking along with friends

. . All these places He has spoken to me and many more besides. Why? “. .When you hear Him, you will know Him. .”. Once you start to “. .Hear Him. .”, He can start to build you character up to with stand attacks.

 

   It would be a miss of me not to you tell you to listen. Have you ever had something important to tell a friend on the telephone? but, was not able to because they would not just shut up. Well the same applies here, we have to remember to be quiet or, your gona miss what God has to tell us.

 

   It has been said that to See & Hear are the most important senses we have but don’t use them properly. And so that many of you have a badly scratched record that keeps playing. .

-        You aint worthy

-        You’re not perfect

-        Look what you did last night

. . here is a sobering thought that will help you move that scratched record on, no matter what you have done or are going to do. You will never stop God from loving you, why? because all your sins Past – Present – Future have been forgotten, washed away with love. This is due because Jesus has bought your sins and so paid the ultimate sacrifice upon the cross, something that gets forgotten by many Christians sadly.


“Jesus Never sinned, even so, he loved us

So much He owned our Sins for us.”

 

   So many green eyed monsters like to try and put you down by saying this of Jesus love & mercies . .

·       You don’t deserve to own His blessings

·       How can you walk freely in His mercies

·       How do I deserve to receive all the revelations He gives?

 

   My paths cross sometimes with those who have back-slid for some reason, because they have beaten down by those who don’t them you to be happy. The worst offenders are those back-slid Christians who love to spout chapter and verse, and then twist the meaning, to make themselves feel good, or so they like to think. Some though I have found are back-slid because they never really knew Him, which is really sad. I once heard this prayer on TV, and so would like to share this in closing.

 

Prayer

Heavenly father I ask for wisdom to live this Life

under this covenant of grace. I ask for wisdom to

recover everything that the devil stole from me, I ask

for wisdom to walk in health and to walk in financial

 wealth. I ask for wisdom to live this life of love,

even with my enemies.

 

I receive this all in Jesus Name.


Amen
