Greetings to all who join and welcome to part four of this new study of the third chapter of Proverbs. At a recent meeting it was pointed out that it is useful not to leave ideas, Scripture, in the abstract but talk about making it one’s own to be implemented in our life. This series of teachings will attempt to do just that. Bottom line, you must chose to have ears to hear and eyes to see and a will to do. To do in the face of opposition, even fierce opposition. This opposition may not be people but circumstances of life even conditions in our natural body.

We must be prepared to walk in full confidence of the Word on the mountain, in the valley, and on the plain. This is no different than preparation in this natural life. If you are a surgeon, or think you are, the time to learn about taking out an appendix is not when the patient is before you going into septic shock heading towards a funeral. What is your first thought, where do you turn first when opposition presents itself? Do we turn first to the natural or the supernatural (review Jeremiah 17:5-10)?

Now, let’s jump back into the first couple of verses of Proverbs chapter three once again.

Proverbs 3:1-2 (KJV)

1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

We are sons of God, builders of the family name authorized and empowered to repair restore people and things, places destroyed by the ways of Satan. Again, we are reminded of the Ministry of Jesus and the greater things, our mandate in the earth. Let’s look again at our basic orders that apply to all in the Kingdom of God.

John 14:12 (KJV)

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Do we take this command, this instruction seriously, personally or just kind of skate right over it? The following passage was a part of the mandate given Jesus and likewise to us.

Luke 4:18-19 (KJV)

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Do we believe and fully receive that the same Anointing on Jesus is upon us in our various assignments? Remember Jesus said that there were greater things for us to do as well, and we see a part of that in the following verse.

Isaiah 61:4 (KJV)

4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

This will look somewhat different in each of our lives according to our God given assignments, but we all have a part. Next, in our primary text find that we are not to forget the commands, the instructions of our Lord which will involve study and meditation (Joshua 1:8).

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

What about the terminal phrase of verse one of our primary text “but let thine heart keep my commandments”? Instead of forgetting my commandments keep my commandments in your heart, your thought life. Something is going on in our thought life all the time and we are in charge of what that is. Are we being good stewards of our thought lives? In this verse the “heart” is our soul, the place of our will, emotions, mind, and understanding. We are commanded to keep the commandments of the Lord, the Word of God, ever present in our mind, our thought life. This word “keep” in the Hebrew to English is nāṣar meaning to guard, to protect, maintain, obey according to Strong’s Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.

TAKE HOME:

1. Have we received our Anointing mantle and now are about the business of the Kingdom day in and day out?
2. We are to have a lifestyle of studying and meditating the Word of God and beyond that doing the Word of God.
3. We are to be good stewards of our thought lives. Our thought lives are to be filled with the Word of God.

As the Lord wills, I will return tomorrow with fresh revelation. The Lord bless and keep you and yours.  Remember, we love you, the Lord loves you, and there is nothing you can do about either one.
