Bible Verse of The Day – 9-7-20

Ezekiel 12:2 (NKJV) 2 “Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

God has given us all eyes to see with. We all know this. It’s obvious because our eyes are plainly visible on the front of our faces.

God has, however, also given us eyes to see with that are not so obvious. He has given us spiritual eyes.

Our natural eyes are easy to see with. They just work. They require no extra effort to discern what we are seeing.

Our spiritual eyes, though, do require some effort on our part in order to discern and understand what they see. In fact, they require training on our part in order to see with them at all.

The more we use them, and the more we allow God to train us, the better our “vision” will become.

It is becoming more and more clear that this year, 2020, is very symbolic, as we lean on God for clarity of vision.

We need His spirit to help us discern what we’re seeing.

Without Him it is difficult to cut through the noise and atmospheric (spiritual) clutter and see clearly. But He gives us what we need to see Him moving in the midst of all of the turmoil.

Don’t close your eyes, church. Don’t just turn away in the midst of what we’re seeing happen.

We may not like what we see. It may be troubling and even disturbing. But God is still on the throne and He is on the move, even in the middle of the chaos and confusion.

Our God is a warrior, and He wins every time.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-4-16

Luke 9:54-55 (NKJV) 54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.

The disciples spent lots of time with Jesus so He could teach them and raise them up.

As He spent more and more time with them, they began to understand some things very well, but their humanity would show itself sometimes, as with the example in the verses above.

They had visited a Samaritan village, but the people there didn’t receive Jesus. Seeing this, 2 of the disciples asked Jesus if He wanted them to call down fire from heaven.

Jesus immediately rebuked them and told them that they didn’t understand which spirit they were speaking by when they said this.

You see, sometimes we can honestly believe we’re speaking by the Holy Spirit, but in fact we are speaking by a spirit of the enemy. Such was the case with James and John, above.

We need to be constantly checking ourselves and letting God show us whether we’re speaking by His spirit or not, when we say things.

It’s imperative that we do this because great harm can be done if we speak to people by the wrong spirit, while thinking we’re speaking by the spirit of God.

The same goes for those who we allow to speak into our lives. It’s important that we measure what we’re told against the word of God so we will know if what we’re hearing is really of God or not.

There is a lot of stuff floating around the airwaves, written in books and published on the internet that sounds good on the surface, but it is really not of God’s spirit when we start looking closely at it.

So remember; if the disciples, who spent 3 years with Jesus, could get it wrong, so can we and many others.

Be diligent and seek God in everything we say and everything we hear, to make sure it’s His spirit that’s speaking through us and to us.
