Blessing

Blessing

David B Severy·Friday, April 15, 2016

If we each one would do ONLY what God told us to do, the spiritual mind of the Messiah would be formed corporately in US (not me) the Body of His Bride. Obedience is a key! Why don’t we obey God? We want something other than what He wants. We want to do things when we want do them and not when He wants us to do them, we won’t wait or we will run ahead. We want popularity and friendships that would be impossible if those we want found us naming Christ as Lord and doing what He says do. We want things for our pleasure without regard to what may come of acquiring them and having them and MAINTAINING them. We want dominion over our lives not knowing we must be of a people over whom God has dominion. Father knows best!

Someone once said: “Obedience is a blessings magnet.”

"How blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, because the kingdom from heaven belongs to them! How blessed are you whenever people insult you, persecute you, and say all sorts of evil things against you falsely because of me! Rejoice and be extremely glad, because your reward in heaven is great! That's how they persecuted the prophets who came before you." Matthew 5:10-12

I’m not sure we want the persecutions promised for following Jesus. Seems we would rather have the USA as it was in the “good ol’ days.” Will shunning persecutions cut off blessing? Will a return to the Reagan era or the Kennedy or Eisenhower era be a blessing? Is that a “blessing” God gave? We were at ease, prospering and partying from 1950 to 1964 and then again with Nixon, Reagan and even with Clinton and the Republican led congress. In those years Bible and prayer were removed from the public schools. Pornography was deemed to be “free speech.” Abortion, an illegal act, came in illegally via the Supreme Court when Nixon was President. “No Fault” also: “…the most well-known no-fault law was enacted in the state of California, and signed by Governor Ronald Reagan, coming into effect on January 1, 1970. At that time, lawyers and judges objected to the legal fictions used to bypass statutory requirements for obtaining a divorce, which had become more commonplace since the mid-20th century. The last state to allow no-fault divorce was New York State. It just became available in 2010.” [Wikipedia] Now same sex marriage is “legal.” I think somehow we need more than whatever it was that we though the “good ol’ days” provided. We need to follow the Messiah Jesus, not The Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping.

But is life simply a war over who gets to rule the world? Jesus finished the work Father sent Him to do. Now Father calls us to the Son to do the work WE are called, chosen and sent to do. Heaven is ours when it comes. But of this life: what? “…be it according to your faith…” “…faith which works, which is energized by love.”

In this life I believe God’s hearts desire, Love (God is LOVE) great desire, and command is still that the church would (with faith which works by love) be fishers of men and women. Others seem to think building the Kingdom of God, or Advancing the Kingdom of God will mean taking over the nations of the world politically. Many church leaders are influenced by the political world more than they are able to influence it.

Isaiah 52:11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the articles of the LORD's house.

2 Corinthians 6:17-18 God himself put it this way: “I’ll live in them, move into them; I’ll be their God and they’ll be my people. So leave the corruption and compromise; leave it for good,” says God. “Don’t link up with those who will pollute you. I want you all for myself. I’ll be a Father to you; you’ll be sons and daughters to me.” The Word of the Master, God.

Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

God can bless because He knows what blessings are. We who have sinned, ALL, must learn from God everything about blessings (and everything about anything!). So listening IS quite a important, even foremost(?) expression of our LOVE for God. I think it may be the highest expression of worship! If I don’t listen to you, do I value you? We are not meant to worship each other, but isn’t listening to my brother or sister a good part of the Love of God energizing my faith?

Someone said that a man willing to listen to a woman for 4 hours can then seduce the woman almost every time. I’m NOT recommending that AT ALL. But if I was willing to listen to God for 4 hours, He would know He had my attention. Do I want God’s attention? Yes I do. I dare not run away from God who alone can save me from destruction.

After Jesus had said this, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you. For you have given him authority over all humanity so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him. And this is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent—Jesus the Messiah.” John 17:1-3

Jesus prayed for us on the way to the cross. He obeyed Father all the way to the praying of this prayer and all the way to the cross, grave and sky. “Glorify Your Son so that the Son may Glorify You.” We speak much about giving glory to God. I am almost certain that giving glory to God will mean we are walking in Truth, and worshipping in Spirit and in Truth.

Why do these realities (they are not concepts or ideas but are realities of the divine life), why do they seem so unclear, so nebulous, so distant and seem even unattainable? I fear it is because we really don’t want a cross now, we want a crown now. Can we have a crown without a cross? What does picking up my cross daily look like? “Not My will but THY Will be done.” Also “I die daily.” Park your cross at the foot of the bed where you will see it in the morning and take it up. ~ DIE EARLY. ~  “…joy cometh in the morning.” It is likely until I die daily this day (April 15, 2016), my existence will be joyless! A Lutheran nun Sister Basilea Schlink wrote a book called Repentance: The Joy Filled Life.

 

“…he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7

 

If you do not die EARLY, keep your cross on your shoulder. Die at noon or late in the day but die. Die so that God raise you up.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

“It is like the precious oil upon the head, That ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron's beard; That came down upon the skirt of his garments;

“Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.” Psalm 133

Church and State? Church and Nation? God and Country?

Church and State? Church and Nation? God and Country?

Capitalism is a diverse economic system. It is competitive with many "teams" (entrepreneurs) and therefore diverse results ranging from tremendous success to tremendous losses. Capitalists are generally driven by their basic needs for food and shelter and for the needs of their families for the same. All have sinned, and the motives of capitalists may be no more honorable than some socialists. Christian freedom is the only liberty by which the natural bent of mankind can curb the abuses of Capitalism or socialism/communism. 

Man’s great need for the Messiah to govern his desire for material possessions and “savings”
is ignored by many capitalists. The desire of capitalists to retain riches and to stingily keep all their wealth for themselves can inhibit the flow of godly generosity toward the poor and their neighbors. Wealth and generosity are ingredients recipes for making friends, but stinginess can be a recipe for brewing jealousy and envy in the poor and neighbors. 

Socialists and communists, themselves usually without the Messiah and morally impoverished, acquire other people’s wealth saying they will bring equity to the world and eradicate poverty. But the result has most often been the impoverishing of the successful whose wealth they take away without lawful claim to it.

Could it be that those who are risk adverse and or lazy and yet still lust for the fruits of success are moved to gather together and literally steal, rob and defraud the successful. Political parties and political systems are often motivated by envy and greed. There may be no more vicious motive than envy. There may be no more deceptive motive than greed. We all would like others to applaud us for something, but we ought not be deceived to seek the praise of sinners.

Come out from among them to the Messiah, be rehabilitated into citizenship in His Kingdom and be governed by His righteousness. This will make you an alien in the world, but a friend of God!

The Messiah’s people (called the church) are perhaps the only people who (ought to always) seeks and “rehabilitate” their criminal element without sending them to jail. Those who criticize the church for being home to hypocrites and sinners ought to consider that truly loving church people actually save them tax money by keeping people out of jail. Jails are very expensive. Should churches give asylum to criminals? Only if they will challenge the criminal to stop committing crimes against other men and women. At the point a criminal refuses to stop evil doing which harm others, that one must be turned over to civil authority for their judgment. That is the purpose of God for civil authority. Today many who call themselves by the Name Christian extend a “mercy” to criminal rebels which only encourages continuance in crime. That is not mercy at all, it is a curse.

Almost 200 years ago Alexis DeToqueville found America to be a unique place, and he called America good. We ought to find out why he thought that it was good.

“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers – and it was not there . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests and it was not there . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce – and it was not there . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution – and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”  ― Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth and the life…”
We ought to find out why He said that.

Solomon wrote:

  Hear, my son, your father's instruction,

    and forsake not your mother's teaching,

 for they are a graceful garland for your head

    and pendants for your neck.

 My son, if sinners entice you,

    do not consent.

 If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood;

    let us ambush the innocent without reason;

 like Sheol let us swallow them alive,

    and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

 we shall find all precious goods,

    we shall fill our houses with plunder;

 throw in your lot among us;

    we will all have one purse”—

 my son, do not walk in the way with them;

    hold back your foot from their paths,

 for their feet run to evil,

    and they make haste to shed blood.

 For in vain is a net spread

    in the sight of any bird,

 but these men lie in wait for their own blood;

    they set an ambush for their own lives.

 Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain;

    it takes away the life of its possessors. Proverbs 1:8-19

We ought to find out why he wrote that. And to help, we ought to find out what “ought” means.

Start Stop

Start Stop

Luke 7:35  But wisdom is justified of all her children. KJV

A definition of freedom is being able to stop and being able to start (Thanks to Bob Mumford for it). That is the freedom a young man or woman of God has, yes? As children we may yet need some tutoring and mentoring. We need to know that some behavior is never acceptable to God and we either must never start it or now stop it and start it no more.

We need wisdom to know when to start and when to stop in everyday life. The one you speak to may close their ears to your voice after the 6^th iteration or the 6^th minute of oration. Learn to stop. On the other hand, you may fail to do the thing God wants if you are too timid, rebellious or stingy and never start speaking, serving or giving. Freely you have received, freely give, give your time, ability, wealth to those whom God sends you to or sends to you. Learn to start.

Truly it is God we must learn to trust that we may start and stop at His word. In that trust great and mighty things happen. God, deliver and heal us. Help us to ask, seek and knock for freedom to hear You, to stop and start at Your word. If our mentors are believers, that might, that ought to be better than if they were not.  But if we depend always them, or on mother, dad, teacher, auntie, pastor or spouse for direction, everything becomes second hand, hearsay. Certainly God the Holy Spirit is perfect and able always more than any, and trustworthy more than any or even all men. (Psalm 118:8&9) As we live as persons in jars of clay and are one body, one Bride, (one person?) espoused to Yeshua our Bridegroom. In Him being able to start and stop as He wills is a “recipe” for becoming spotless and wrinkle free.

The Bridegroom grooms the Bride, bringing her “out from among them” and discipling her, to bring her into His liberty: to start and stop at His will! To the carnal person this may cause Jesus to be seen as a control freak. But God is cleansing us and grooming us. Ever see an ungroomed dog at a dog show? The blessing of God’s Spirit training us to start and to stop in obedience to Him becomes much more attractive and enjoyable as over time the results (diseases, wounds) of  carnal choices (out of our ungoverned desires) are removed and His Health and Holiness are worked into our Bridal being. Doing what is “right” in my carnal eyes did wear me out! Perhaps it is not wrong to say: “Your sin will find you WORN OUT!” When we can say and act in the freedom of “Not my will but Thine be done,” we will discover God’s freedom to perfect us, to complete us.  We become mature. He HAS given all things necessary for life and godliness. We CAN, we ought, we must trust and obey Him. Then no evil and harmful word or action will proceed from us, and no evil or harmful consequence can be blamed on us. We will in faith which is energized by God who IS love (Gal. 5:6; 1John 4:8b) become blameless in THIS life. Will that be ruling and reigning in life? I ask that as I’m not completely clear how to answer the question.

To rule and reign in carnality would be to get what we want, when we want it every time we want it. Self worship, self service and the character of satan will then be ruling and reigning in us and through us to influence anyone who might be influenced by us. THAT is frightening! And the result will be that we will be worn out! And OTHERS may be worn out by us! THAT IS REALLY FRIGHTENING! I don’t believe those whose consciences have been born again can live in the flesh like THAT without great inner turmoil of the heart and mind.

Was Jesus ruling and reigning when He was Emmanuel, God with us? He obeyed Father every time, 100%, going when He was commanded to go and saying what He was commanded to say! The result? He finished the work Abba sent Him to do. Ah, but He was crucified, our carnality says… Ah, but He rose from the dead, the Holy Spirit declares! He secured the inheritance of those of the lost sheep of the house of Israel who receive Him and all those of the nations who receive Him. We all together can now trust Him in all he said and did, and all the Spirit of Holiness today says and does. Because of Jesus’ eternal security in the Triune Godhead, (Philippiand 2: 6  …though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped)   we being saved in Him are eternally secure! Woo Hoo !!! Hallelu Yah !!!

My conclusion is that by obedience we do rule and reign. The prayer I hear some now praying is that the Lord cause our obedience to appeal to those whom God says should be saved. Paul prayed that and The Message rendering of the prayer should melt our hearts:

Philippians 1:9-11 The Message (MSG)

9-11 So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.

It is a 9-11 prayer in urgent need of praying and answering today in each of us and all the church. Or are the days not evil and the times PERILOUS?


The five senses and the intellect of the lost and the backsliders ought not to be easily put off by what they see and hear from us. They ought to know we are Jesus students by our love , and that ought to look good to them. Our obedience should look somewhat strange to the world around us, but with God’s divine influence it need not be off-putting. It may even look strange to the congregation we attend. I have a friend John W. who taught me something about obedience. He was in a meeting and the Lord said to him, “Shout aloud: Macaroni.” He really was surprised, and after some hesitation shouted aloud: “MACARONI.” After the meeting a man came to him and thanked him for shouting it as he was praying about two business opportunities, one being pasta making. Obedience to what you or I are called by God to do may not appear as comfortable or FUN. But I can imagine John W.’s momentary discomfort may have really blessed a pasta maker to be! I expect to hear the rest of the story someday.

Sometimes obedience will look strange to us, or at least it did to me as I read Isaiah 20 for the first time.

The truth invariably perceived by us as a negative when it first appears. Obedience is the right response to the truth. Jesus IS Truth. Does obedience also appear as a negative, as unpleasant when it first is commanded? I’m inclined to say it does. A real hope and blessing for us as Jesus own lamb’s is this, that as we are discipled, taught, trained, corrected, reproved and rebuked, as we are chastened, obedience become the activity by which we are secured to Him and become fruit bearing, bearing joy and love and all the fruits of the Spirit of Wisdom.

Galatians 5:6 teaches us that faith works (is energized) by love. John’s first letter teaches us that love is proved by obedience. Jesus taught us that by love for one another ALL men will KNOW that we are His students. God IS Love. We need to hear Love AND OBEY Love. Am I of little faith? Do I not trust God so much? It will be seen in that I love little and obey little. That is something I want God to correct in me, as I do see it in me.

We must learn to start: loving God and neighbor, trusting God, obeying God’s Voice. We must learn and take time to listen to His Voice. That in itself is obedience and leads to greater OPPORTUNITIES to obey God. God our Father is PLEASED when we obey Him. He wants to take the fear and mistrust we almost always have in the flesh away from us and install in us Himself, His Spirit, His love and His trust! If we will LOVE, TRUST and OBEY Him, His Kingdom will open to us (even to me!) in an increasing measure of fullness and opportunity. I believe I have God’s Spirit in writing this, somewhat a reiteration of the Promises of the New Covenant.

Luke 7:35  Wisdom is vindicated by all her children." ISV

Therefore, having so vast a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, and throwing off everything that hinders us and especially the sin that so easily entangles us, let us keep running with endurance the race set before us, fixing our attention on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of the faith, who, in view of the joy set before him, endured the cross, disregarding (despising ~ ASV) its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Think about the one who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you may not become tired and give up. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. You have forgotten the encouragement that is addressed to you as sons: "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline or give up when you are corrected by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he punishes every son he accepts." What you endure disciplines you: God is treating you as sons. Is there a son whom his father does not discipline? Now if you are without any discipline, in which all sons share, then you are illegitimate and not God's sons. Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them for it. We should submit even more to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we? For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but God does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, for those who have been trained by it, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace. Hebrews 12:1-11
