FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER
DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS – PART TWENTY-TWO
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”. I think we know what they mean, however if the person being referenced is indeed Heavenly (Kingdom of God) minded, they will be Gods’ powerhouse in 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. 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. Today is my birthday, where has the time gone. 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 have heard the song with words that go something like this: “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. It is the will of God that we have both! However, it is not automatic because you got saved and walk the earth. Please continue 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:
As I have mentioned many times, verse one above is the prerequisite for seeing any blessings from God. I am talking supernatural, and clearly far above the norm. There are many things that people refer to as blessings of God however it is no different than what the world is experiencing. What we experience as the children of God, joint-heirs with Christ, owners of the entire Kingdom of God (spiritual and physical) should be way above the world. When the world starts to see this in you and me, see it all around them in the body of Christ the Church buildings will not be able to contain the expanding body of Christ. Now, to our text picking up, focusing on verse thirteen.
Deuteronomy 28:10-13 (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.
11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
Do you see yourself as the head in your life or just be carried along by time and circumstances? Are you, am I, exercising our God given authority and as a head in the earth under Christ or are we being whipped about (like a dogs tail) by the curse, our spiritual enemies, circumstances? Have we chosen to do verse one, to follow hard after the Word, or have we chosen our own way? If you have chosen your own way, how is that working out for you? Are we trampling our enemies underfoot or are they pretty much having their way with us? Look, we all know the answers to these questions. Let’s choose to awake to repentance, arise, and triumph in life and beyond the way we were designed and destined.
Luke 10:19 (KJV)
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
We are not victims dear ones just hanging on for dear life until we go to Heaven, but in Christ Jesus we have His victory, all authority is restored, the blessing is fully restored, and we are to be the Church triumphant. We can be triumphant even if no one else in our local Church chooses to be. I hope you noticed that the thirteenth verse ends the way the first verse starts. This is important. Let’s not just think we are obedient, let’s actually be obedient.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week.
