BEING EAGER TO DO AS WELL AS EAGER TO KNOW

BEING EAGER TO DO AS WELL AS EAGER TO KNOW

Here is yet another aspect in how to climb the hill of the Lord as in Psalm 24, the year of the Open Door to intimacy with the Lord.

James 1:22-25 But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: 24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was. 25 But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

What does it mean to be a DOER of His Word? Knowledge of what is right and wrong is important. His Word will become our encyclopedia of knowledge when we LISTEN to what IT has to say. Now consider this: What does His Word become if we consider what HE has to say? The Bible isnt just a manual on how to live a life in God. It is also our love letter from Him, about knowing Him.

When our Christian life moves from head knowledge down into our heart, His Word suddenly becomes a relationship with Him. If your loved one either told you or asked you to do something, wouldn’t you do it? What if it were life and death and you were told to obey! Wouldn’t you do it?

The more we listen with the intent of FOLLOWING THROUGH, the more this opens the way for God to move in our life. He sees and knows when we are intent on truly listening to Him because we are eager to know and eager to do.

God speaks in both His printed logos Word, and also His rhema Word where He breathes His message upon us through the many ways He speak. The key when hearing both, is applying His Word personally.

When God has inspired His message by breathing upon it, make note that He has quickened it to you for a reason. He wants you to know it is from Him to you. He wants you to receive it personally, directly from His breath to yours. Breathe in His message. Receive it fully.

Pray over it, ask Him to help you apply it and activate it in your life. Ponder with Him HOW you can practice it. Make it a goal. Ask Him how to assimilate in such a way that it becomes a HABIT and a natural part of your life in Him. Prayer is your key to abiding. You can do nothing without praying over it and giving Him permission to work in your life. Prayer is the lifeline that keeps you clinging to the vine as your Source.

John 15:4-7 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. 6 If a man abides not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.

WORD TO PONDER: IN THE WASH CYCLE 1/29/09

Yes My child, sometimes it feels like your life is suddenly upside down and coming through the wringer. I am not angry with you dearest. I am washing you. There is a difference. I will have a bride without spot or wrinkle and she will wear the purest of white.

Be swift to obey for this is a swift training time. My powerful training angels are relentless with My passion to swiftly discipline when you purposely disobey My Word and your conscience to what you know is right conduct. You are quickly plunged into the wash cycle until you come clean with change. Run to Me and confess rapidly dear child! Confess and cry out for My grace to change and leave the carnal nature behind. I AM washing you with the cleansing of My Word. I want you glorious, holy and without blemish. My zeal is performing this.

Mal 3:2 NKJV

“But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire And like launderers’ soap.

Re 3:4-5 NKJV

You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments ; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments , and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Da 11:34-35 NKJV

And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time.

Re 16:15 NKJV

“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments , lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

Eph 5:26-27 NKJV

He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

QUOTE BOBBY CONNER

Let these words sink deep into your soul, for they will be life and peace to those who will hear and obey. Strive to become a doer of the Word and not just a hearer (see Jas 1:22).
