"But the word of the Lord was to them,
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught.
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
God says, we honor Him with our mouths, but our hearts are far away. It shows us this clearly in verse 13, But the word of the Lord was to them, “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little,”That they might go and fall backward, and be broken, and snared and caught."
They new the word of God, but they were not performing the word of God consistently, deceiving themselves. Then we all know how these stories end, and are ending today, destroyed. The enemy is out here, and we must embrace this fact, he is also out here to kill, steal, and destroy us at all cost. God gives us this bible to save our lives here on earth. We are to walk into heaven with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts, that we have outwitted Father God's enemy. We don't get to tell the story of how are universe came into existence, God does. We also, don't get to tell how the game is played, God does. Humility is going to have to take over our hearts and minds, to serve God, and one another. It is only by the fruits of the spirit, God adheres to, and if they are not being performed, He will cast us off the vine to be spiritually alone, in this lonely wilderness. (John 15:1-8) "“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples." These verses pertain to everyone walking God's green earth. I hate to be the bearer of Good News, but Father God is here, and He's here dealing with us accordingly. He wants to bless us, but we won't stop dancing and playing with the devil to let Him. God is no fool, and will not be taken as One. He is fighting a spiritual war, thanks to mother Eve, and we must get on His side to win the war. (Ephesians 6:10-12) "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." We must do all, the verse said, to be able to stand. We don't get to pick and choose what verses in the bible sound good, for our liking. We are to try and practice them all daily, until we have been assured, that we have been given the right weapon of defense, to destroy the enemy and receive our inheritance. Verse 15 says, " Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.” We go back and forth with this bible as if it is some toy. We come against one another, and still say we love God. God says, how can you love Him who we don't see, and can't stand our, family, friends, and neighbors, who we do see. We must come out from under this lie the devil has us living, and connect to truth.
(2Timothy 1:10) "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."
Blessings to all who enjoy the truth,
