While reading Philippians 4, verses 6&7 I saw something that hit me! Paul is instructing us to stop worrying and go to Yehweh in prayer & thank Him for the answer! He doesn't say anything about getting answers. Not a word about direction, deliverance, healing or miracles!!! He says we will receive a gift...the peace of God! Paul is really saying, God's first answer to our every prayer and cry of our heart is His peace! We are to stay in Yehweh's peace until His promise is worked out by Holy Spirit. AMEN, IT IS GOOD NEWS!!!
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
The answer is Jesus is awesome and you are my brother. We love you so much.
