Musings Of The Word of God

Matthew 6:20,21 "...lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Your heart is where your treasure is. Laying up treasures in heaven - Your heart will be in or on Heaven. These are those who have their minds on heavenly things. 1 Corinthians 15:48. And who shall bear the image of the heavenly Man, Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15:49 This means we have been born of a the second Adam. Born again. 1 Peter 1:3-21 verses 3-4 "Blessed be God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again TO a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, TO an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that doesn't fade away, reserved IN HEAVEN FOR YOU." Our hope is a living hope. It is alive in us! It is a part of our birthing, for we went from hopele...

We are called to marriage. Did you know that? The marriage of The Lamb to The Bride (Revelation 19:9). Jesus speaks of the marriage supper (e.g.: Matthew 22) ... and John the Baptist spoke of how he was Jesus' best man (John 3:29). We have a picture of marriage in Genesis, but we are called to the marriage that Jesus speaks of in John 17, that He and We (the corporate we) may be ONE. Jesus said He and the Father are One. And Jesus prayed that we may all be One with Himself and with His and our Father. To be clear, I am using the capital letter "O" just to signify importance. But it is easy to see that this can seem like other teachings that are out, in the world, those other words attempting to make all religions one. Jesus did not pray for the entire world to be One with Him and the Father. But He prayed for those that the Father would give Him, and for those He already had as His. And so we see that He prayed for Us. You and me. This is personal fo...

For the bit more experienced in the Word of God, or the hungry -- maybe to see if they want more experience. (Not for everybody. Yet. That's ok.) With all the hype and talk about what has happened in our great country, I have decided to continue to try to "put to pen" the little piece of truth in my heart; something that God keeps speaking to me. My heart on this is to write towards one goal:  That we hear and follow Jesus, our Head, and rely ON Him, instead of and not on our own faulty understandings. For we without Him, we can do nothing... Nothing that is of His will, that counts as / produces good fruit / hits the mark that He is aiming us to hit. And He is aiming us... We are in this world, but not of this world. We are designed to be like God, created in His image, created with a need for dependence on Him. We were severely brought low (destitute) and completely separated from God by sin, (Gen 3) which entered the heart of man genetically, death and striving and a...

The Wilderness is... Being set aside. Being alone with God. Being refined / changed. Reliance on God is all you have for resources. Wildernesses are not fruitful lands, lands of plenty, places of provision of themselves. But you are with The One Who IS your Provider. Therefore, manna falls from Heaven to feed you. Nothing wears out, everything lasts, including you. You live in the wilderness on God's provision, which takes over the natural and moves beyond the limits of the natural, and if you appreciate HIM the wilderness becomes a place of resting from your natural efforts... Difficulty, crisis, a loss of any kind or all kinds, uncontrollable circumstances, utmost difficulty that you cannot see your way through, all may produce a wilderness. Especially when this happens right after a God-meeting, such as accepting Jesus as your Savior, or coming into a place of honoring Him more deeply, but some momentous spiritual happening that makes you free. And th...

Intro: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." ~ Matthew 4:4 God is speaking. He speaks. His words are food to us. Psalm 85:8 "I will hear what God the Lord will speak" This is present tense - speaking. Not what He spoke yesterday. It is what He is speaking now. It is what He speaks today, in this time, this hour... "I will hear" There is a choosing for us. A choice we make, to hear or not. To pay Him mind, or to let His voice be crowded out by the din all around us. His words are seeds, they will fall on prepared ground in us or other kinds of ground in us. See the parable of the sower and remember, God's word CAN be taken over within us by the cares of this world. Literally, choked out. Yet, what will God speak to us when we come to Him in a willingness to hear. Do we first of all not recognize that it is the Holy Spirit that brought us to this place... No one comes to ...

This is the silliest posting I may ever share, but I've already been called "crazy", so why not? In fact, an old friend of mine, whom I have not seen in years, who recently met Jesus flat out told me that he always believed I was "crazy", but now he knows why... And I never felt so complimented before! For if I shall take my stand, I shall do it for love-- crazy love, downright mind-blowing, stupid to others, get in it or be left behind, the give-it-all-up-for-love kinda' love! I've seen two videos recently that have impacted my prayer life, links below. One of them was about being baptized in God's love for us, and the other was about hearing God's voice and seeing in the Holy Spirit for our own lives, the eyes of our understanding being opened... You go ahead and watch those and see what they say to you... But for me, I got caught up into a vision about my life and it was a vision with levels to it, a dreamlike scene that prog...
