FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER
DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS – PART FOURTEEN
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to From the Prophets Chamber and the topic Do All His Commands. Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you for sharing. In the featured picture I am teaching at Faith Chapel in Pennington Texas. A precious group of people. Please be sure you are reading out loud.
This teaching is designed to hammer home the vital importance of obeying the commands of God, the Words of God and no other words. Of course, these commands must be obeyed by a willing heart, in faith, and in love (agapē/agapaō). We are fully empowered to keep His commandments. We have the same love as God within, we have the Word of God (if we study), we have His Holy Spirit within, we have the Five-Fold Ministers, and Christian friends. The whole of Scripture speaks of the absolute necessity of walking obedient to Scripture but somehow many of us are not. We claim to know this but our lives do not show the evidence of this obedience, the fruit of obedience. These fruit are spelled out in Deuteronomy 28, the first fourteen verses. Listen to Jesus.
John 14:21 (KJV)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
How is this verse different than the Deuteronomy chapter we are reading. Don’t struggle with the answer, it is no different. If you are confused by the words ‘loveth and love’ in this verse watch for my book Agapē. This is God level love (agapē/agapaō) which He expresses and is and we are to express and be as well. It has nothing to do with emotion. It is all about obedience to the Word, selflessness, and Blood Covenant. We are freewill creatures meaning we are free to exercise our will. God will not make us do anything and the devils cannot make us do anything. The whole of Scripture reflects or shouts this, Truth! What have you chosen, what have I chosen? The answer to what we have chosen is evidenced in the life we now live. Believing any lie of the enemy (and there are many propagated in the Church) no matter how sincere or passionate one may be believing it to be the Truth, it will only bring evil consequences. I encourage you to get my book “Sacred Cows Among the Ekklesia”. Now, let’s jump into our primary Bible text once again for a few moments. Be sure you are reading out loud.
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.
Remember the Blessing is the empowerment from God, the Anointing, to prosper in submission to Him. This does not mean God or someone will plunk a bag of gold on your front porch someday but that He will show you how to get a bag of gold. This is vital to the Kingdom of God. Everything costs money. Why are we kings and priests in the Kingdom of God?
Revelation 1:6 (KJV)
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Kings bring the physical wealth of the Kingdom and priests bring the spiritual wealth of the Kingdom. Wealth is not a cuss word and God will reward us for having it and it will cost not having it at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Perhaps even cost us all. Read the accounts of the Pounds and Talents. I don’t want to be the guy with the one pound or talent that I did nothing with.
Matthew 25:28-30 (KJV)
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Luke 19:24-26 (KJV)
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
If this doesn’t fit your ideology, view of the Kingdom, talk to Jesus, He said it, I didn’t. But here is the good news, there is a way to avoid this result altogether, do the first fourteen verses of Deuteronomy 28 and a myriad of others.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week.
