Proverbs 9:1-6 (The Message) Lady Wisdom has built and furnished her home; it's supported by seven timbers. The banquet meal is ready to be served; lamb roasted, wine poured out, table set with silver and flowers. Having dismissed her serving maids, Lady Wisdom goes to town, stands in a prominent place, and invites everyone within the sound of her voice: "Are you confused about life, and don't know what's going on? Come with me, oh come, have dinner with me! I've prepared a wonderful spread-fresh baked bread, roast lamb, carefully selected wines. Leave your impoverished confusion and live! Walk up the street to a life with meaning." The Hebrew word for home here is "bayith" which translates to palace or great house. I believe it is a house of learning and understanding. The way we enter this great house is by the spirit, we learn how we manifest as sons, to be presented in the throne room as mature, having been taught the truths of heaven by the seven spirits of God. All are invited to come "all in", even the simple, and those who need understanding in the things of God. The angel of Wisdom, Prudence calls, come, eat this bread and drink this wine which has mingled just for you! It is an invitation to the Holy Communion Table, to eat His flesh and drink His blood. The "all in" started at Calvary and continues as we partake the bread and wine, the way the truth and the life flows into us, bringing us all in to Understanding and LOVE. It isn't a thought but a destination...Come we have been invited!
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!!!
