“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.” [See Proverbs 3: 5-6 KJV]
To meditate, enter, embrace, worship, hear and know his Voice: is to eliminate self and world from the equation. How is this possible? Does your mind have an on and off switch? Can you or I turn our thoughts on and off? The answer is yes! You are the gatekeeper of what you think, believe, say or do.
However, the problem with most people, is that they are thinking more what they are FORCED or COERCED than what they themselves have researched, considered; spiritually received or believe.
God is still universal wisdom and Creator of all things. We ALL live in and through Him. [See Colossians 1: 16 KJV] Further, the prophets of old have written Ethiopic and Hebrew words of counsels to eternally guide each and every person on earth to a place of solitude, truth and rest within. But who takes the time to ‘Lean not too their own understanding?’
Further, with the velocity of time, technological impacts, oil crisis, fears of recession, unemployment and divorce rates rocketing, people are workaholics of debt, sex and material gain. Who is interested in solitude turning off flesh and sitting back chilling and beckoning the Lord to have His way?
After-all isn’t that what the above scriptures counsel. For God is speaking daily to His Children and the world trying to communicate: “I cannot guide or lead of my Spirit if you are thinking and being led of the world or carnal self.”
That should not surprise you unless you are an atheist.
Yet, if the truth be told most church-folk and religions are the biggest culprits of the blind leading and listening to the blind and NOT of God or Hebrew prophets of old. Most traditions, religions and denominations are leaning unto thy own understanding. They recreate, mistranslate or ignore the Ten Commandments, claim grace, change the name of Yahshua for Buddha, Jesus or Muhammed, ignore the sacred Hebrew calendar and Ethiopic definitions. Even the finger of God and the seventh day Sabbath they substitute for the Greco-Roman first day, everyday, or no day, hoping no one notices.
Well, Well, Well…
Pastors, bishops, clergy, popery and others of popularity and sight, times are about to change. Just take a good look at Jeremiah Chapter 23.
Just this week I had a long conversation with a professed believer who could not understand how even with no “J” in the Hebrew Alphabet, and Christ NOT knowing Latin or English, how could his name be known as Jesus. As jesusanswers.org suggested; “A mistranslation of a mistranslation"
Only the Universal Truth of God shall set us free. It is crucial that we learn the art of turning off or disabling carnal lifestyles of the world. In fact, you can delete all of the so-called knowledge and wisdom of the WORLD. [See 1 John 2: 15-17 KJV]
God is actually trying to build His Church WITHIN of SPIRIT to spirit - whilst religion and denominations are trying to build Babel with trinkets, cash, carnal laws and prosperity of sight without. People are SO caught up of their eyes, lost of the 'still' small Voice Within.
Have you tried listening to yourself daily? This week, write down what your eyes gravitate towards or the voices of your thoughts. Then get the Bible in hand, close your eyes and when TOLD WITHIN place your index finger anywhere you are led to go and read. Do NOT think just be led of His Voice or Spirit within and watch the accuracy of what you read of the Word of God.
Turbulence Within
If you are having a turbulent week steering your body, soul and spirit over to God, try immediately halting all thoughts. Monitor the sounds, wavering and bouncing from pillar to post within. Lay on the bed or floor and be silent. Don't think! Compare that to the Spirit of God sweetly counseling NOT to fear or think, just hear within.
Watch how your eyes and mind sound out bills unpaid, cell phone calls, ladies or gents as images. This is your moment of CONTROL WITHIN - so try to focus on the invisible not the visible. Understand that all things begin with seeds or thoughts you cannot see. So there is always more power within than without or outside of you.
I understand, you just need another breakthrough and your body and mind is going crazy; until you obey the Lord and quietly submit all, face down, to His Will. The way you accomplish this is to just turn off your menacing thinking.
Refuse to think. Just submit to God within and start HEARING ONLY. This is foreign to unbelievers and professed Christians. God is never in a hurry to communicate with anyone He cannot trust. You can sing and dance as long and loud as you like, God looks at the heart and spirit of a person before he acknowledges them.
If you are fond of waving or protecting a flag, man or woman more than the truth of God, you are idol and evil within. To lean not unto your own understanding is to reverence and be, filled with the truth and knowledge of His Universal Word. There is just no other way! Still in doubt, try: “If any man will come after me let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.”
How can you fly and fight for a flag while labeling and hating people and expect God to love you?
To take up YOUR CROSS and follow Yahshua the Christ (not jesus) is the biggest battle and biggest denial of self and world you will ever encounter.
There will come a time you will experience turbulence more than your mind can comprehend. All that you have been taught will be challenged and the Spirit of God will hold you responsible in judgment daily. That is your breaking within in the wilderness, lions den or valley of the shadow of death, within.
You will fear to rise, daily hoping daylight remains dark. As for family, friends and business associates forget it. This is God letting you know I am chastening you, because I love you and the more you disobey or think in error is the more I will wash you with my Word in solitude and fire within.
Again, I don’t expect every reader to believe these words; but I assure you will remember these words as they return someday within.
