FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER
DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS – PART EIGHTEEN
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to From the Prophets Chamber and the topic Do All His Commands. It is my hope that this study will consolidate the idea that we cannot go overboard in our walk with the Lord. There is no such thing as being too obedient to the Word. People say things sometimes like; “they are so Heavenly minded they are no earthly good”. At times I know what they mean, however if they are indeed Heavenly minded, they will do the best for the Kingdom of God upon the earth. We cannot be too focused on the Kingdom of God and His way of doing things. In the end a good number of the things we thought were just so important will cost us at the Judgment and those things and only those things for the Kingdom of God will profit us. Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you for sharing. The featured picture is of me teaching the Word of God.
As we turn to our primary Bible text remember the Blessing is the empowerment from God, the Anointing, to prosper in every area of life. That is both spiritual and physical prosperity. You may of heard the song “I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold or a vast domain”, that is a false choice. When you have Jesus you can have as much silver and gold as you will step into, it is yours. However, it is not automatic because you got saved and walk the earth. Please be sure you are reading out loud.
Deuteronomy 28:1 (KJV)
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
This is perhaps an inconvenient Truth. Sickness and lack of any kind is not an expected part of the Christians life, our cross to bear. These things gain entrance by disobedience, it is part of the curse. Consider the following passage. Are they the Truth?
Deuteronomy 28:14-15 (KJV)
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
One of the ways the devils gain entrance is by getting us to believe the lie, just like Eve and Adam in the Garden.
Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
We reject the Truth for a lie frequently heard right in Church. We must be good Berean’s and study (not just read) the Word for ourselves. Again, get my book “Sacred Cows Among the Ekklesia”. Now, let’s turn our attention to verse nine below.
Deuteronomy 28:6-9 (KJV)
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
In our total submission to the Lord, He in turn establishes us as a holy or set apart people, set apart for His use, His Kingdom, and it is all really good for us. Then we again see that pesky word “if” in our text. This happens when we keep His commandments and walk in His ways. So, what is the other side of this coin? The following verse is a part of the Blessing of Abraham, which comes by faith and obedience (which is love).
Deuteronomy 28:10 (KJV)
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
Be reminded of Isaac who had an inferior Covenant to ours.
Genesis 26:16 (KJV)
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week.

2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. (Bold added)
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (Bold added)
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
