How you doin? Please
be praying for my health and wellness. It's been a rough couple of days.
I have extensive blood work being done this morning to see if we can
figure anything out. I feel like I've been run over by a train. Romans
10 today.
The
Scriptures use different methods of speaking the same point. Verses 2-4
tells of the Israelites zeal for God or more specifically their
misguided zeal. "For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 Christ
is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone
who believes." Verse 4 gives a solution to self-will run riot or seeking
to establish our own righteousness. "Christ is the end of the law".
That's a good word.
A
common conversation between believers and nonbelievers is that
faith/believe in Jesus is a matter of the heart. People who don't
believe in their hearts don't confess with their mouth. Verses 8-10, "But
what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in
your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That
if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For
it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is
with your mouth that you confess and are saved." I've experienced
this several times in dealing with discerning of Spirits. If I'm being
led by my heart or spirit, which is controlled by the Spirit, then my
mouth speaks a loving word that has authority and power. It starts
with/in my heart. When the Holy Ghost speaks to me it's important to
repeat what He says. It's even more important to stop speaking when He
stops. That's a good word.
I'll end with verses 12-13, "For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for,
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." This is
where the rubber meets the road. I've called on the Lord several times. I
called on him with my mouth or mind, but not my heart. Mark 2:8, "Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things?" Luke 5:22, "Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?"
Without getting into an discussion about spirit, soul (mind), and body
Jesus knows "immediately" the difference between our hearts and minds.
That's a good word. There are many Scriptures that speak of the good and
bad that come from our heart. Verses 9-10 are key in answering tough
questions. They also can help direct my prayers. I'll continue praying
daily for God to increase my hearts desire to love Him and my minds
understanding of Him. SO GOOD!!!!!!! Let your heart/spirit lead your
mind/words today.
PS
When my spirit is leading my mind (soul) and body things are
AWESOME!!!!!!! The Holy Ghost is in control of my spirit. It's when my
mind (soul) leads my spirit that things go bad or at least not
AWESOME!!!!!!!
