The Lord is so awesome. I just can't say enough. If you humble yourself, he will speak to you clearly. But if you harden your heart, you can receive NOTHING from him.
Before I came to the knowledge of the Truth, I was a hypocrite. I mean, I had made vows to keep from sin, but I made no effort to keep from it. I had no desire to please Jesus.
Yet, on Sundays I began to wear my bible in my back pocket at work (I wanted to keep the ''Word of God'' on me.) And a stranger, a customer at my job, came up to me, noticing my bible in my back pocket, and said, ''Shouldn't you have that in front of you?''
He said it so kindly. He gave me his blessing also. I was not engulfed in condemnation. And shortly after I realized what he was saying!!!!! AMEN!!!
I had the, ''Word of God,'' On me, that is on my person, but I did not have it IN ME!!!!! The word of God should be in my heart. WOW!! This is reminding me of some precious revelations the Lord Jesus has given me. I am reminded now of this:
Ps 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Ps 119:12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
Ps 119:13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!
I love that David!! Lol. AMEN!!! THE WORD LIVES FOREVER!!!
And soon I would be taught that I don't have to memorize the bible. I didn't understand what I read mostly, but when I read, ''THE HOLY GHOST WILL BRING TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE WHAT YOU HAVE READ,'' I took that on faith and I just read, and prayed that the Lord will teach me whatever he wants to do. And that he will help me to speak what I ought to speak. So I don't have to memorize one thing. The Holy Spirit gives me the words to speak whenever I need them.
This keeps me from pride, because I don't know what I should speak. I am not wise enough to speak. I am a fearful man. I am a weak man. But God is strong, he is wise, he is AWESOME!! If they do not hear me, they do not reject me, but the Spirit that speaks through me. So I am without offense. Yet I am offended, because I hope that everyone will be full of the Spirit, showing the fruit in love.
I cannot tell, as the Lord said, where I will go, or what I will say. I am lead, as in chains.
God is pure and holy.
May Jesus bless you.
